the District of Columbia respectfully protests
against an increase liz the hours of labor IN the
government departments at Washington, as
proposed by the measure now pending IN the
House of Representatives.

Explorer aud Lecturer.

Lieut. Peary told the story Of his recent
arctic expedition at Metzerott Hall Monday
evening to a very large audience. Doubtless
many were attracted by curiosity to zee the man
and the stereopticon views, and gain an idea of
what foolhardy arctic explorer is like, as well
as Of the country he visited. They did not ex-
pect to find Lieut. Peary as good talker as he
Is explorer and it 10 safe to say every one in the
house was charmed with the simple narration,
sibie in the background and his companions and
his dogs given equal credit with himself in the
success OF the expedition. His modesty in thess
days Of blow and brag was very refreshing.

A Huge Burning Glass.

From the Rural Collaboration.
No sooner have European aeronauts improved
their balloons almost to the point of perfection
for military uses than along comes Russian
scientist with an apparatus which captures the
rays of the sun and employs them to burn the
balloons, somewhat on the principle by
which Archimedes planned to destroy entire
navies.
We have not seen detailed explanation of
the modus operandi, bu: Russian paper states
that the balloons can be burned when at q
distance of i've kilometers from the perso,
