1T IS INTERESTING to note that Rev.
Dr. Parkhurst takes the same view that
most persons do of Richard Croker's
inconiinent fight to Europe. II con-
'ider his flight good thing" the doc
tor is quoted rs having said in London
He runs away while under fire This
shows that the fire has been heavy. He
realizes that he has got about as much
plunder as he can, He thinks it time
TO quit before the ship sinks" Bossism
is essentially cowardly when in trouble.
lts arroganceinvariably disappears in
the hour of danger. Croker's abject
fear will do more than many serious
revelations Of the Lsxow committee to
bring about the downfall of the scheme
Of municipal politics of which he ia the
type. Sane men will not forever bow
down to towards.

Says Brother Boyd: "The SCRANTON
TRIBUNE appears to see in the defeat of
Captain Flannery for denomination, a
possible chance to capture the district by
the Republicans The TRIBUNE editor
views matters through roseate glass.
Mr.. Rutledge's nomination gives excel
lent satisfaction throughout the entire
district and there is no possible chance of
defeating him by the strongest Republi-
can that could be named" Now don't
you deceive yourself. The Republican
party this year isn't going to concede any
thing, anywhere until the votes are
counted and the result verified. Stranger
things have happened than the defeat of
Mr., Rutledge; and stranger things will
happen in the elections of Nov. 6. We
feel it in our bones that this is going to be
a Republican year.

grown with remarkable rapidity." And
this is the way it proves it; Upon it's

though q postoffice had been established:
the mail was carried from Easton once a

tion numbered 5000; in 1860, 5000; in
1850, over At, 900; IN 1890 50, OOO" In 1894
permit us to add, it is 100000, with several
thousand more anxious to annex them
selves as soon as they are asked.

The reason for this is that the physi

considerable advance over the
price that has been paid heretofore.
Every bid that was submitted at the
April meeting of the commissioners was
for the same amount, $175.0 90.

The Salt in the Sea.

According to a computation of the
Berg und Huettenmaennische Zeitung,
the amount of salt in the sea waters OF
the globe, if extracted, would be great
err in mass than the land SO far as it
appears above the surface. The seas,
it says, cover IS per cent. of the earth's
surface, estimated at 100000 Ger
MANI square miles. The percentage of
chlornatrium in the sea is the same at
all depths. Assuming that the aver
age depth of the sea is a half (German)
mile, there are 100000 cubic miles of
sea water. A cubic mile of sea water
contains, on the average, about TWEEN
ty-fve kilograms of salt. The 100000
cubic miles of sea water would there
fore contain $4,000 cubic miles of dis
titled pure salt. There is therefore
little danger of salt famine, is the
rather logical deduction of the writer.

WHY on STILLS OCEAN WAVES.
The Wind Passes Along the Oily Surface
with Reduced Power.


A great deal has been written about
the influence of oil on waves at sea.
and of the practically useful action OF
oil in many eases there is abundant
testimony, but little has been heard OF
the reason for the results obtained,
saws the Chicago Tribune. Expert
ments made in shallow, broken water
on the coast, where the wind and tide
eonficted, have shown that little or no
advantage can be traced from the use
of oil under such conditions: that is to
saw. the wave motion being disturbed
and under forces not wholly those OF
wind action, the oily film becomes
broken up In deep water, however,
where the waves may be considered as
wholly formed by the wind, their forms
are more regular. and it is in such cir
cumstances that the recorded exam
pies show to the best effect. These eff
fectS suggest the real action of the OIL.
According to some theories the oil acts
as it does when applied to bearings IN
machinery. and thus the wind glidcs
more easily over the oiled surface than
it does over the water surface. 1t Is
difficult to see. however, that the frlc-
tional resistance between air and oil
should be less than between air and
water as the oil is a less mobile fluid
that the water Again, when we con-
slider the surface tension Of fluids, and
can often observe their restraining ac-
ton on ascending air bubbles or small
floating objects in glasses Of water, we
might suppose that by tho addition Of
the film of oil sufficient resistance was
offered to the uprisc Of the upper part
of the wave and thus the tendency to
break would be restrained. The ac-
ton of the Elm of oil is one of separa-
ton. When we consider the tendency
of air to become saturated with Watery
vapor due to evaporation and Of water
to retain air by absorption, we may
readily conceive that tAe impact OF
air on watery surface viii tend to
cause commingling at the surface Of
air and water which viii thus offer
sufficient resistance to the motion of the
wind to throw the water and mixture in
to an undulatOry movement and, there
fore, when this forward movement has
exceeded the speed due TO the periodic
motion in the wave itself. the upper
part iii f3!IinT f0rWar,! from the effects
Of the push Of air from behind shows
foa,ning rush Of broken water; that
is, the air incorporated with the water
and the water itself, Arguing on this
basis there is 10 difficulty in accepting
the theory that the Tim Of Oil spread
over the sIarfaee Of the water effect
ually prevents the formation Of broken
water; as the air and water are kept
separate the tendency to mutual ab-
sorption at the surface IS checked and
the wind passes along the oily surface
with reduced power of wave making.

DIAMONDS SET IN IVORY.
a New Plan Being Tried by Fashionable
European jewelers..

The fashionable jewelers. of London,
Paris and other continental capitals
have hit upon new idea regarding
the setting of diamonds, says foreign
exchange. They propose to use in the
setting ivory instead of silver or gold,
and it must be acknowledged that
there is some reason for doing so. 1t
is well known how difficult it is to
clean the silver or gold setting proper
" and to preserve the original luster.
Gid settings have the drawback of re-
fiecting their yellow color on the
stone, and to depreciate thereby the
water of the stone. Another weighty
objection is that they lose the bright
ness which is peculiar to these metals
as soon as they are used as the only
setting for rejecting and transparent
stones, while they are beautiful and
add to the appearance Of diamonds set
with pearls, cats'-eyes or chrysopras
Ivory would solve this question at
once, which at present can only be at
tanned by setting the transparent with
a half transparent stone in gold or
silver.
