For years the question whether
water wheels ran faster at night than
during the day has been c~atalogued
among the things which no man can
find out.
They do il they are so geared as TO
be affected by the varying fullness
and speed Of the current in which
they are set. There is no doubt that
all streams are fuller. and all streams
carry more water at midnight than
they do at noon. In the first place,
the increased GOODNESS OF the air pre-
vents evaporation and sudden drying
Up Of smaller tributaries: and, in the
second place, the condensation Of
the moisture in the air in the shape
OF dew is always sufficient to add
something TO large streams and their
branches. Heavy de1s are often so
copious as TO be almost equal to a
small shower Of rain. We often hear
dewdrops falling from the overloaded
leaves and find all exposed objects as
wet as II they had undergone a show
er during the night. A large portion
Of this moisture must get into the
minute channels which, O. course CON
duct it to mill streams.
"Often," says Humboldt, "the effect
upon a shallow stream is very notice
able, indeed" II it is at all notice
able" a wheel turned by such a stream
would ''go faster by night than by
day."-Indianapolis News.

Dave nm and Dan Lamont.

View York Press: The success Of
Col Lamont in managing Mr. Cleye-
land has often been remarked By
politicians and wondered at Lamont
probably learned the trick back in
1883, and, strange 10 relate, David b.
Hill had a hand in it. AT any rate,
here is a story about Cleveland,
Lamont and Hill which points 10
that conclusion Ii is believed TO be
absolutely authentic. Cleveland was
governor, Hill lieutenant governor,
and Lamont private secretary.
Lamont became interested in the
appointment OF a certain man for a
certain ofice-so the story goes. A
delegation called upon Cleveland TO
arge the appointment Of Lamont's
friend. The spokesman OF the party
was a tall. broad shouldered man, and
he made q srr0ng impression on the
governor. Cleveland engaged him in
conversation, and after he left, the
governor turned TO Lamont and said:
by George, why not appoint-to
this place manning the spokesman of
the delegatiOni? / think he is just
the man for it."
Lamont said nothing, but in a few
moments he slipped out Of the
executive chamber and paid a call on
Lieut.. Gov. Hill. They remained in
earnest consultation for some time.
Then Lamont returned to his desk.
Presently Hill dropped in and nodded
to Mr.. Cleveland and sat down at
Lamont's desk. "Mr. Blank was
here to-day" said Lamont 10 Hill,
naming the man who had made such
a good impression on the governor.
"Ah," said Hill, eleyating his eye
brows, twas he sober2'
Seemed to be" Lamont answered.
That's strange" said Hill. well,
he won't be sober very long. He is a
regular bum. Wonder how he got
enough money to pay his fare down
here. Must have made a raise some
where. He owes nearly every man ia
Scoharie county Not a word OF this
conversation was directed TO Mr.
Cleveland, but he heard every bit OF
IL, as they intended he should. After
Mr.. Hill left the room Mr. Cleveland
said: .'Wny, / did not know Mr..
Blank had such a bad character. i
guess IL would never do TO appoint
him. Lamont's man subsequently
got there. 1t is said that Lamont
and Hill frequently went through a
little scene like the n described TO
kill of men Mr.. Cleveland had selected
for appointment. Both realized that
they could do nothing with Cleveland
IL they opposed him openly. The
partnership between Hill and Lamont
appears to have been dissolved, but it
must have been interesting while it
lasted.
One OF the most dangerous and yet
probably successful operations known
was performed at st. Raphael's
hospital, st. Cloud, Mimi, upon
Peter Hammergreen. Drs. Pinault,
Dunn, Junk and bingham removed
a large malignant growth in the
shape of a tumer from nearly the
entire half Of the fare and the lower
right jaw. Instead OF the use Of
either as an anasthetic, hypnotism
was applied for the first time by the
doctors, and they pronounce the new
treatment a success.

The Lowest Rate of the Year to Chicago
via Pennsyivania Railroad Company.
G0ach
Coach ExcursiOns.

AT recent meeting the rate to Chicago
via the Pennsylvania Railroad was def
nitely decided upon, and will hold good
during the remaining excursions OF the
peoples popular coach series $500
from New York, $l7:00 from Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, and Washington, and
proportionately low rates from other
points on the company's division and
branches. These rates are the lowest
that have yet been authorized, and their
ultimate legality has been brought about
mainly through the efforts Of the Penn
sylvsnia Railroad Company.
The remaining dates on which this re-
markable rate will apply are October 18th,
18th, and 21st, from New York and Phila-
delphia, and 7th, 14th, and 2lst from Bal
timore and Washington, when trains will
leave the several Eastern terminals fully
and comfortably equipped with Pennsyl-
vania standard coaches, and all taking
advantage of these exceptional opportun-
tiles are assured of being amply cared for
10 transit. The arriving time 10 Chicago,
early the next afternoon, is on equality
with the fast express trains schedule, and
affords sufficient time for a selection OF
accommodations for the stay 10 Chicago.
The immense volume Of travel now d.
recting itself towards the Worlds Fair.
and the rapidly approaching termination
OF the Exposition influence the company
TO place every inducement possible before
the public. There could be no better way
devised to encourage visits to the most
marvelously gorgeous exhibition the peo-
pie Of this generation have ever seen.
