How to PrOlOng Life.

We cannot defy death. But we
may, by searching, find certain Sc
cets OF nature and apply them to the
renewal OF the organs whose decay is
constantly going on in the body.
Anatomical experiment and investi-
cation show that the chief character
istics of old age are deposits of an
earthly matter OF gelatinous and
tibrinous character in the human
system. Carbonate and phosphate
OF lime. mixed with other salts of q
calcareous nature. have been found
to furnish the greater part OF these
earthly depo ;its AS observation
shows, man begins in a gelatinous
condition; he ends in an o.seous or
bony oDe-sot in in 'ancy, hard in Old
age. By gradual change in the long
space ofsyears the o:sificat on comes
on; but after passing middle-life a
more marked development of the o.
site character takes place. OF course,
these ca thy deposits which affect
all the physical organs naturally in
terfere with their functions. Partial
Justification OF the heart produces the
imperfect circulation of the blood
which affects the aged. When the
arteries are clogged with calcareous
matter there is interference with the
circulation upon which nutrition de-
ponds. Without nutrition there is
no repair of the body. Hence In his

Patents All Over the World.

There are now four systems in force
for the grant of patetns:' First, the
American, in which the patent is
granted after rigid examination into
novelty; second, the British, in which
the invention is advertised and the
grant is subject to opposition; third,
the German, which is sort of COM
promise between the American and
British, involving both an examina-
tion and an appeal to opposition; and
fourth, the French. which involves
neither an examination nor public
opposition, but is registration
merely. All the patent laws of the
world can be included in some of
these systems, or partake Of their
features. Age.

WlLkESBARRE. Pa. Nov. 2S-The tie
up on the Lehigh Valley railroad is COM

ally quiet along the line
Sheriff Walter was seen by a United
Press reporter this morning He said, so
far as he could learn. everything was quiet
and orderly. No demand has been made
upon him for additional deputy sheriffs.
Another large batch of non-union men
arrived in town early this morning and are
under the protection of the company's de-
tective, but the strikers have their pickets
and committees out and will use every eff
fort to bring the new men over to their
ranks.
The men on the Wyoming division are

the strike is now looked for by them.
EASTON, Pa, Nov. 2S-The Lehigh Com
pany has made such great progress on its
L-ehlGh and New Jersey divisions in the last
rev days that 1t is able to report its line
practically free of freight except that which
is IN course of transportation.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., Nov. 2S.-The strike
on the Lehigh Valley is apparently fizzling
out at this end of the road. The officials
claim that the men are beaten and that
the sooner they accept that fact the better
for themselves

LATE NEWS BY WIRE,

Kaiser.
SIMILAR TO THAT MEANT FOR CAPR[VL,
Both Packages Came From a
Frenchman.
ARTFULLY WORDED LETTERS.

BERLIN. Nov. 2s-Baron Manderode,
chief Of the political police has been
charged to investigate into the attempt to
assassinate Chancellor Won Caprivi. The in
fernal machine was sent from Orleans,
France. and all the facts have been given
to the French embassy here
The ambassador promised to assist in
tracing the person who sent the package.
Emperor William and all the ministers
today congratulated the chancellor upon his
escape.
The matter Is eagerly discussed in the
iobbies of the reichstag. The text of the
letter accompanying the Internal machine
Was as follows:

cellier de Empire Allemagne:

of grains and roots of an astonishing spe-
cies, which sown In December, ought to

McKINLEY's OBJECTIONS.
He is Opposed to the Al Valorem
Duties of the Wilson Bill.

Governor VIM. Mckinley arrived al
Cleveland. Ohio, last night on his way 10
East Liverpool. Ohio. The governor said
he had not had an opportunity to give the
new tariff bill careful study, and indeed
he had seen only the brief synopsis pub
Hshed in evening papers. He was not.
therefore, prepared to go into q thorough
discussion of the measure.
He considered the bill. as whole. however
very sweeping one, including as IL did in the
free list such important articles as coal.
wood, iron ore, lumber and salt. The aver
age rate of duty was also largely reduced
the new measure making II between 30 and
~ per cent.
The most radical change the governor
had noted was the doing away entirely with
specific duties and changing the plan of
collection to ad valorem duties. The plan
Of al Valorem duties was one that had been
condemned by all administrations
nder II the duties were based on a
valuation of goods made by the foreign
seller. and this opportunity opened wide the
door to the rankest kinds of frauds against
this government. Henry Clay once said
that If he could fix the valuation of goods
the duty could be made to please the
makers. Mr.. Manning. Secretary of the
Treasury under Cleveland's first administra-
ton, had made a careful review of the
whole subject of collection of duties which
paper would make very interesting reading
just now. In that review the system of ad
valorem duties was strongly condemned
The entire bill, Mr.. Mckinley said, was
in the general direction Of the democratic
platform, in which notice had been give-
that no heed would be paid to the pleas
and necessities Of domestic industries
In regard to the probability of its passing
Congress in its present shape he had no
idea, but sincerely hoped that 1t would not
Its effect on business he could not foretel
other than to say that manufacturers
would now be able to begin preparations to
meet II If it should become a law. He had
no idea 1t would meet the approval of the
country or even of the great majority of
the democratic party.

THE TORPEDO TESTS.
They Disclose the Fact That Vessels
Require More Power.

One important fact demonstrated at the
recent test of torpedoes at Newport Is that
the boats require more power than they
row possess to discharge the destructive
missiles prepared for them. Reports of
the tests received at the Navy Department
show that the torpedoes consume a great
deal of steam power and materially lower
the speed of the boat discharging them.
The speed of the boat dropped from 1S to
IL knots during the firing. Some of this
falling Off in speed was due to the limita-
lions of the basin in which the test was
held, but most of it came from the de-
mands of the motor on the steam supply.
The motor is used to discharge the torpedo.
The defect was not so apparent when the
steam was exhausted into the atmosphere
as when 1t was exhausted into the con-
denser.
The atmospheric exhaust, however can
not be used in actual service, on account
of the noise and the formation of vapor
clouds, which would show too plainly in
the beam of a searchiight. The motor of the
torpedo gives the required speed to the pow
er wheel of the missile. and is COMPARE
lively noiseless. 1t cannot be heard beyond
distance OF 400 yards. and long before
torpedo boat can get within that range
the observer can locate II by the racket of
its engines, the rush of water and the
churning of the propellers.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.- The sudden resigna-
ton or General Master Workman Powderly
or the knights of Labor caused a decided
sensation in labor circles in this city when
1t became known. While for the most part
friendly to NJ. Powderly the local labor
men are not seriously regretting his resg-
nation. for they believe with him out of the
way the war which has been on between
the American Federation of Labor and the
Knights of Labo- will come to a close. and
that the two organizations may be set to
work on basis of mutual protection and
advancement. 1t was also the opinion that
the best man for the position was James r
sovereign of DeS MoineS, and his election
gives general satisfaction.
