The most wondrous wonder of the glass.
mnkers art is the result of philosophical
experiment and is known to scientists as
Prince Rupert's drop" These glass drops
known by II princes name are simply the
drippinga Of molten glass pear or tadpole
shaped, their curious properties being the
result Of their being suddenly glazed and
the pores covered by coming in contact with
water when at a white heat. One OF these
drops" can be removed from the water
and smartly hammered upon the larger
end without causing u fracture but II the
smaller end has but the slightest atom
clipped from its surface the whole object
instantly bursts with explosive violence
and disappears as fine dust.
The theory of this phenomenon Is that its
particles when in fusion are in a state of
repulsion, but upon being dropped into the
water its superhces are annealed and the
atoms return into the power of each others
attraction, the inner particles, still In n
state OF repulsion, being confined within
their outward covering,-St. Louis Repub-
lie

think il is evident that the proper de-
velopment and expansion Of the lungs by
means Of well regulated breathing must be
regarded rs Of the greatest value in the pre-
yention and IN the treatment Of the mac
tive stages Of pulmonary consumption. The
more simple tue method the more effective
and practical will be the results which flow
from ii. Among the many exercises which
are recommended for this purpose the fol
lowing movements are very valuable, The
arms, being used es levers, ART swung back
ward ns far az possible on T. level with the
shoulders during each inspiration and
brought together in front on thetame level
during each expiration, or the hands are
brought together above the head while in
spring and gradually brought down along
side the body while expiring. A deep breath
must be taken with each inspiration and
held until the arms are gradually moved for
ward or downward or longer in order to
make both methods fully operative.
Another very seryiceahle chest exercise Is
to take a deep inspiration, and during ex-
piration in loud voice count or sing MS
long as possible. A male person with a
good chest capacity can count up to 90 or
80, while in a female, even with good lungs,
this power Is somewhat reduced. Practice
OF this sort will slowly develop the lungs,
and the increased ability TO count longer Is
measure OF tho improvement going on
within the chest. Or, again, the taking OF
six or eight full and deep breaths in success
sion every hour during the day, either
while sitting ct work or while walking
out in the open air, will have very bene-
fetal effect.-Dr. Thomas j. Mays in Cen

CHICAGO. Ills, Aug. pa special
from Washington says: "rhe belief
that congress win adjourn Immediately
after the Sherman bill has been repealed,
50 common few weeks ago. is losing
ground. The speaker says there will
be no recess before the regular session.
The speakers advisers talk Of taking up
regular legislation a. soon as the financial
question Is out VI the house.
Mr.. Catchings of Mississippi said today
he did not believe there would be adj
jonrnment over to the regular session.
He said lie had been talking to Senator
Vest and the latter was Of like opin-
ion. 1t Is probable the gentlemen ex-

question in the senate and therefore
will calmly set back aud await regular
business. While the Democrats talk
about continuing the session. the Re
publicans, especially the senators, are
preparing to 20 home.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2C.--The

Democrats who desire to hide The fact
that their party is definitely committed

say, Il is au undoubted fact that the
maj.rity Of the members Of this commit
tee are IN favor Of the repeal Of this tax.
One Of the committee said that il will
probably bring forward, very early after
the silver question shall have been dis
posed Of, bill 10 provide for the issue
Of state bank notes IN some form. Some
Of the members Of this committee favor
the absolute repeal Of the tax and the
roninteryeuiion by the national gov
eminent Ia the matter Of Htnie-bank
circulation. Others will Insist that, u
the state bank tax shall be repealed,
congress shall pass some law b. which
these state banks shall ia some way
come under general national legislation.

Amid all the confusion Of finance
writing which has prevailed Of late
among the papers which never wrote
before there should be no mistake in
comp ehending the simple facts as stated
by the Philadelphia Times, thus:
When Cleveland retired from the
Presidency on the 4th Of March, 1889, the
surplus revenues In the Treasury
amounted to 500, 0O0, 000 exclusive OF
the 800 000, 600 gold reserve and the
500, 10000 600 Of trust fund for the re
demption of bank notes. When Harri-
son retired from the Presidency on the
4th Of March, 1898, the 500, 000, 600
Of surplus had been expended the
$55, 600 600 Of bank redemption fund had
been covered into the Treasury and ex
pended, and the Treasury was literally
misunderstanding the 800, 900, 900 OF
god reserve-to the amount of over
$50, 600, 900. True, the Treasury books
did not proclaim that the Treasury was
some $50 00O0 600 bankrupt; but IL was
none the less the truth. In order to
Keep up the false semblance of solvency
the subsidiary coin, that is valueless for
the payment Of government debts, aud
the deposits Of disbursing officers that
is. debts due and for which requisition
had been made and the money trans
mitted-were all counted as assets, and
millions of dollars already appropriated
TO public improvements aud due aud
payable, were withheld by the Secre
tarY OF the Treasury. One of
the last official acts of Secretary
Foster was his refusal to sign warrant
for over 81 00O, 600, long overdue, be-
cause he bad not the money TO pay IL 4;
and, setting aside the 800, ,O00, 600 gold
reserve for the redemption Of green
backs, and taking the available assets OF
the Treasury and the claims against the
government then due and payable under
Congi essional appropriations, Secretary
Carlisle was given the Treasury over
| $50, 600 600 bankrupt In short. presi
dent Harrison received the Treasury
from President Cleveland with a surplus
Of $65 600. 600 and $55. OJO 600 OF bank
redemption fund, making $3.50, 600 OOo
OF surplus; and in four years, balancing
the books on precisely the same basis,
the Treasury was handed back to Cleve
land $50, 600, 600 bankrupt.
The glib.tongued orators and almost
as irresponsible newspapers can say a
great many other things in order to
avoid saying anything about the actual
condition OF the Treasury when the
tariff has been raised so that the people
are actually paying heavier rates
though the Treasury is receiving less

PERHAPS II the silverites had paid
more attention to argument and less to
vituperation they would have succeeded
better. That is a supposition only, but IL
is certain that If they had been willing to
study finance and political economy, with
out making the purchase of silver pre-
requisite, they would not appear so badly
beaten now. In the study of any science,
the preconceived notions Of the unlearned
must be abandoned. Science must be
studied with pure heart and clean hands
II man has lot Of silver
bullion which he wishes TO sell,
II he is merely "a friend of silver, he
has not thu pure heart or the clean hands

factory TO protect. If he has goods to
sell and does not wish to compete In an
open market for buyers, but wishes to
compel buyers to stand in close market
and buy his goods or none, he is not a
student of political economy. In both
cases, in all such cases, he is studying
the sciences, II at all which is seldom,
in order to avoid and escape the logical
conclusions that knowledge Of the
