'Judge Emerson, one Of the most elo-
Quent men Illinois ever produced, was
once taken down completely in q speech
at Decatur" said e. +. Layman, an at
torney of Chicago. "He had o case in
which there were some peculiarly pa
thetic circumstances, the rights of a
young girl whose property had been
squandered and who was reduced to des-
titution being involved. Judge Emerson
made the most Of it, and as he closed his
speech q solemn hush had fallen over the
courtroom.
ssTears stood in the eyes Of the jurors,
and even the judge coughed sympathet-
irally and hid. his head behind the trial
docket. His opponent. whose name ]
have now forgotten, saw that the spell
had to be broken in some way, or his case
was lost. Arising slowly to his feet, and
In a voice Of deep solemnity, and with

The Rrnpoaai 20 AbroEafe It viii Cause
Live y Debate In ale senate.
WASHINGTON, March IA. indica-
tons point to a heated debate in the
senate over the clause in the senate tar
LII bill inserted by the finance committee
providing for the abrogation Of the
Hawaaiin treaty of 1857, and the subject
Is already beginning to attract attention
on both sides OF the chamber. This
treaty provides for "A general exchange
of the products OF the two countries
free Of duty, and includes sugar, the
principal Hawaiian export to this coun.
try. the United States. in turn being
permitted to export agricultural
implements and other machinery,
and manufactures Of wool and cotton
textile fabrics, as well as > great
variety of other articles to Hawaii,
without the payment of duty. II also
contains d provision that no other for
eign government than this shah acquire
o title 4 any port or har Dor in sthe Ha-
waiian islands. There are : number OF
senators on the Democratic side who
will object to the clause, and it Is be-
lieved that the Republican party in the
senate will Be almost solid In It's opposi-
tion. Already objection is heard not
only because the termination of the
treaty would deprive this county Of val
nal lie prerogatives in that country but
also that such action would be great blow
to the sugar planters, who are depend
emit upon obtaining free commercial
intercourse to the United States. The
clause was inserted as a concession TO
the sugar interests in this country,
whose friends in the senate viii exert
their influence to have it retained.
During 1898 2sS, 81, 929 pounds of
sugar and 1891 gallons Of molasses
were imported from Hawaii. These
importations. at the lowest rates fixed
by the senate, would, if the treaty
should be abrogated, bring a revenue to
the treasury amounting to So, $50, 525.77

There exists q general and deeply root
ed idea that direct current dynamos Of
very high potential are not at all prac-
tical. The actual historical and brac-
teal facts are that the high potential di-
rect current machines were more extern
sively and successfully operated when
the dynamo first came into general use
about 1880 than any other type, either
direct or alternate. Furthermore, their
number and size have largely increased.
and the voltage at which they can be
practically worked has been steadily
raised until we now have 90 light dyna-
mos as the standard size Of large ma
chimes, generating about 5000 volts and
10 amperes.
Arc dynamos Of 90 light capacity are
also regularly made by several manu-
facturers, and 100 or even 1875 light ma
chimes are built and used. happen to
know of one station where there are four
arc dynamos rated at 125 lights each
which run every night with q load Of
from 100 to 100 lights. These machines
must generate about 5000 volts each.
No great practical or other difficulty is
found in operating arc machines, except
that Of danger to persons. bat this is
merely due to the high potential and does
not depend very much upon the type of
machine or character Of current.-Cas-
sier's Magazine.
