The. Optic Kepudiates the Citizens
suggestion.
The Albuquerque Citizen may mean
well, and doubtless does, III its sugges-
tion that the political central committees
get together aud appoint joint oom-
mittee to cooperate with the governor
and secretary in organizing the legisla-
ture on a nom partisan basis, and in par.
ceiling out the patronage between the two
parties. But the suggestion is untimely
and absurd. 1t gives the New MEXICAN
the opportunity and the means for put
ting the Republican party in most
ridiculous and disingenious attitude.
In the first place, the Legislature is an
elected body, and the idea of organizing
it on compromise basis is as illegal as
it 10 impracticable. The thing can not
be done, and the subsequent acts of the
body would be illegal, If it we're done.>
Then does anyone believe that the
Democrats, if they are assured that they
have the majority, or that they can Sc
cure it by any means, whatever those
means may be, would forego the ends
which they are aiming at, in order to
compromise on non-partisau basis
The very thought is absurdity persona
fed. Nor can anyone believe that the
Republicans would consent to abandon
the fruits of hard.earned victory, were
they assured of their SUGGEST Hence,
the very suggestion of such compro.
mice is tacit confession of defeat; and
it's only tendency will be to embolden the
Democrats to carry out any plans they
may have been forming.
Only one course remains to be pur-
sued. Let those who have been legally
elected carry their cases through the
courts. Let them use every legal means
to obtain their rights. If they fail after

MORE SQUIRTING,

because the NEW MEXICAN has pros
nounced as unreasonable, absurd and
illegal the suggestion of the Albuquerque
Citizen that the political central commit
tees of the territory be consulted before
the legislative assembly is organized, the
Citizen comes back and says: Gall right!
Now let's see you adopt constitution"
In this connection we may be pardoned
for inquiring upon what meat does this
Caesar feed that he has become so great?
Does the Citizen pretend that it carries
the fate of statehood around beneath it's
No. sombrero? This is too, too much!

A LURlD LETTER.

BY reference 60 our news columns oil
Saturday it will be seen that the Republi-
can central committee has written letter
to the territorial Catronists. 1t is a let
ter among letters, one in which the writ
ers run with ready fingers the whole
gamut and sing with equal ease the high
soprano of fright and the basso profundo
of brazen bluff. The nimble changes
from the war-cry of despair to the exu-
berance of confidence and vice versa indi-
cate the letter to be a composite struct-
ure, built upon foundation of more
than one mental mud-sill. In its initial
sentences it is of a congratulatory nature.
1t indicates that great battle has been
fought and victory won $50. One al
most imagines that he can hear, above
tho triumphant lannon's roar, "the trum-
pets loud clangor," calling to dress pa
rade the victorious hosts, with net a
troubled note.
But soon the letter changes its key and
the trumpet's blast takes on an undertone
OF hesitation that indicates an obstruc-
ton in the blow pipe Of the instrument
or the player. There is evidently fly in
the political ointment, an insect in the
butter-milk of victory, wild bull loose
in the arena of political retrospection.
The particulars of all this are discov-
cred little further on when it ia said
that the wicked Democrats have decided
to steal the legislature. "Use your in
fuence, therefore," the letter continues,
shat they may not trangress the laws Of
prudence; demonstrate with them gently;

Electric. Sunatroke.

French doctors have been attempting
to find remedy for what has been
termed electric sunstroke." an ailment
In which the trouble arises not from
heat so much as light. This peculiar
affection frequently befalls workmen
employed in melting metals by means
Of the electric process. It appears from
observations made at steel and iron
works that the intense voltaic arc be-
tween the carbon and the metal to be
melted emits rays which. even at dis
lance of thirty feet, produce painful,
hot, pricking sensation. like that of q
burn, on such uncovered portions of
the body as the throat. face. and, more
especially. forehead. The skin of the
parts affected becomes either copper
colored or assumes bronze hue; the
eyes, in spite Of black glasses, are so
intensely dazzled as to be useless for
some minutes. after which anthopsia
yellow vision) sets in. everything ap.
pears saffron colored. the coniunctiya
are infamed and there is a gritty feel
Ing as of sand under the eyelids. There
Is frequently great pain. also sleepless-
ness, and. in some cases, fever, It is
now found that the surest and quickest
cure for this affection is perfect rest
In 4 subdued light. Under these con-
ditions the symptoms subside, usually
in a few days. the skin of the affected
part peels and the patient is restored
to health.

A Useful Hint for Young Electrician,

| "a ODSASA AAAAt Aux 4OuA8 H1GCtElClAns
One Of the bugbears of the young
electrician is the difficulty of remem.
bering which way a magnetic needle
turns when a current of electricity
is sent along wire in its vicinity,
Ampere gave rule which many find
1t troublesome to remember, and 9th.
ers have since tried to improve on It
Prof. Daniel points out that if a pen.
holder be held in the. right hand in
the usual way Of writing it may be
taken to represent the wire, and the
flow of ink the current. If, now, the
thumb be stretched a little across the
penholder, it will represent the posi-.
ton of the magnet, the thumb-nail
being the NOTWITHSTANDING pole. Prof
Holten Of Denmark now offers a rule
which he says his students have al.
ways taken to very readily. The out
stretched right hand is placed with the
fingers pointing in the direction of the
current, and the palm turned toward
the magnet. The NOTWITHSTANDING pole
Of the magnet will then move in the
direction Of the outstretched thumb.

Measuring Muscle Strength.

A dynamometer for the measurement
Of muscular strength is being introtluc-
ed for gymnasium purposes In fu-
ture there will be no cropping in the
dark when the young college athlete is
taken in hand by his trainers for pre-
PARTON for the boat race or the foot
ball match. Every important muscle
In his body can be tested and it's
strength or " eakness ut once indicated.
In this way mans weak point is
discovered without serious loss of time,
and special attention can thenceforth
be directed toward the "leveling up"
Of his physique. The old method Of
testing a mans muscle by its size, or
even by it's hardness, will no longer be
used. and strength tests will super
sede these unreliable systems of meas
urement. The muscular strength Of the
verious portions # the arms and legs
can now be differentiated. As simple

Ill wonder II she really does thlnl
that I am pursuing her rich br0thef
Oh! 1t makes me Qutver In every nerve

Mrs. Jack stood still In the middle of
the room as the thought occurred to
her Her hands were clinched, her face
was quite pale and her eyes, bright as
ever, but encircled with thu red, swollen
traces Of tears, looked out straight
before her as though she saw ghost
Poor Mrs. Jack! She looked very for
lorn and tragic rs she stood there In

portioned to the trivial and homcly
nature Of the situation"
Suddenly she rushed to the table,
opened her little writing desk, tumblcd
the contents Of 1t out pellmell, seized a
sheet Of note paper with trembling
hand and wrote upon it at full speed
Us follows:
Old Street, Saturday Evening.
Madam: After having maturely re-
flected upon our interview Of this morn
ing, I have come to the conclusion that
1t would be derogatory to my self-re-
spect for me to continue to give les
sons In your family. I therefore beg
to resign my engagement as daily gov
erness to your children from this time
forward. l am, madam, yours obetli-
emily, Isabel Lilly.
To Mrs. Boddington, Beach Grove.
Mrs. Jack really supposed herself to
have "maturely reflected" upon her in
terview with Mrs. Boddington. Ger
tainly it had been constantly present
to her Imagination ever since it hap
pened. She sealed up the result Of her
mature reflections with the same fever
ish eagerncss with which she had writ
ten it, and sent it off to the post with
out further delay.
THERE said she, half aloud. when
the note was fairly dispatched. Il sup
pose they will be satisfied now! I
am very glad have written that letter.
Very glad!'
Just tten her eyes fell on Popsy's
little frock-the jack towel garment be-
slowed on her by her grandmother
which Biddy had been sewing at.
I'm afraid Popsy won't have her
pink and white frock now!' said the
young mother, sadly.

An Improved Bale Press.

To those who deal largely in hay,
and are in the habit of sending it long
distances, an improved baled press,
which has just been patented, is likely
to be especially serviceable. This press
forms hay, straw or any other fbrous
material into cylindrical bales, the size
of which can be adjusted at will.
Bales of about 200 weight are found q
useful size, and they can be easily roll
ed along like cask. The machine
congresses about ton Of hay an
hour. After the material has been
sufficiently pressed, two wires are pass
ed around the bale, which are auto
matically frightened as the bale is re-
leased, and falls to the ground by it's
own weight. The fa1e thus turned out
is exceeding portable, and its purchaser
has the satisfaction of knowing that
no stones or inferior fodder can have
been introduced Within it. The bales
when stacked permit the air to circu-
late between them, rendering the fod-
der less liable to heating. Bales press
ed to density of IS pounds to the Gu
bic foot ire completely incombustible.
The press is portable, and it is claim
ed that it will press at least twice as
much as any other machine employing
equivalent power. The three-horse
machine is said to be equal to the
turning out of five bales of 200 weight
each In one hour, and the four-horse
machine to eight or nine bales in the
same time.

Freaks of Electricitx.

A railroad excha 1ge reports a curl
Gus freak Of electricity which has been
discovered in connection with leak in
the mains Of the indianapolis G Is Co.
In Illinois street, buried four feet deep,
is main that has been down for fifty
two years. 1t was abandoned twenty
two years ago because Of it's size. ')ut
the pipe is still in an excellent state
of presery alton. When the Citizens
Street Railway Company sunk their
trolley line poles in the ground, they
were placed close to this abandoned
main; some of them were flattened and
rested against the pipe. The insula-
ton wore off the top Of the pole, and
the iron became charged with electri-
city. The current ran dew the pole
into the ground until it cama III con-
tact with the cast iron main, against
which the pole rested At that point
the current burned hole through the
post and through the cast iron gas pipe.
The current ran along this cast iron
pipe for 200 feet north, where it came
in contact with IL inch wrought
iron service pipe that crossed the old
artificial main. At the junction of
these pipes the current again showed
its power by burning large holes in both
pipes, and the melted metal formed
irto small globules, like shot, perfect in
size and form, and then dropped into
the old pipe. The gas released from
the service pipe, followed south OH the
cid main until it reached the electric
post, and entered into the tube through
the hole burned cut by the current.
The post was soon full of gas. A car
passing made a spark that set it on
fire, ond. the flames burst from the ton
Of the pole. An examination of the
service pipe and the old main found
them to be in excellent condition.

SACRED scARABs IN EGYPT.
Curious Combinations of Christian
md Heather Symbolism Found Re.
gently.

Curious Combinations of Christian
and Heather Symbolism Found Re.
Gently.
One of the most interesting exhibits
in the museum at Ghizeh is the jewelry
OF Queen Abotpou of the seventeenth
dynasty about B. G. 175O) taken from
he. E.ajesty's person when her mummy
case was opened by Marietue Bey, says
the Cornhill Magazine. Among the
most beautiful objects in this ancient
collection is a gold chain or locket
with scarab pendent as it's central
ornament. On the ether hand if the
kings had their names engraved on sa-
cred beetles, the sacred beetles in re-
turn gave their names to mighty kings.
The very word for beetle was so holy
that 1t enters into the composition of
many royal titles. Just as elsewhere
great princes described themselves as
lions, or wolves, or bulls, or deer
hounds, so in Egypt they described
themselves as beetles Of the sun god.
Strange to say, some of the latest
scarabs bear Christian emblems. Sew
eral Of them are inscribed with the
cross, and one in Mr.. Loftie's collection,
is adorned with well-marked crlcifix.
This queer jumbling up of Christian
and heather symbolism may seem In
credible to those who do not know
Egypt or carly Christian art, but to
students of the first few centuries of
Christendom it is no isolated example.
In the GhfZeh museum there are many
other works of the transitional period
quite as strangely mixed as these
paintings with the ankh or crux an
sata, the symbol of immortality, COM
bined with the veritable Christian
cross; emblems of which it is hard to
tell at first sight which are heather
and which Christian; Madonnas that
can hardly be Disseminated from Iris
with the infant Hor,ls; and the Isises
that fade off by impercephble stages
into Madonnas and Rambinos. The
fact is, scarabs had been buried with
corpses in Egypt for centuries till they
had become, as it were, part of the
recognized ceremonial of burial; peo-
pie no more liked to dispense with
them as marks or respect to the dead
than our own people would like to
dispense with plumes and mutes and
all the other wonted accompaniment
Of Christian burial. So, when, the
Egyptians felt they must adopt the
new creed in place Of the old, they
endeavored to Christianize and convert
the scarab by inscribing him with a
figure Of the crucifixion, just as the
priests in Brittany have Christianized
and converted the old heather standing
stones by putting a cross on top, to
which the modern worshiper now nom-
inally, at least, directs his prayers.
There is more of this substitution eve
suspect; a large part of what passes
as modern Christianity is nothing more
than very slightly veneered antique
