Plaatic Marble.

In one account of Rome the author
mentions five or six slabs of plastic
marble as being in the possession of
Prince Borghese. Being set on end,
they bend backward and forward;
when laid horizontally and raised at
one end they form curve; if placed
on a table and piece of wood or
any other substance is laid under them
they fall into a kind of curve, each
end touching the table. Able Forts
was told that they were dug up
near the town of Mondragon, in the
kingdom of Naples. The grain is like
that of fine Carrara marble, or perhaps
of the finest Greek. They seem to
have suffered some attack of fire. A
slab of marble similar in every respect
to those described, and highly pol
ished, has been exhibited for more
than twenty-five years at the British
museum. M. Fleuvian de Belvae sue
ceeded in making common granular
limestone, a granular quartz, COM
pletely flexible by exposing to
a certain degree of heat In Lincoln
cathedral, England, there is an arch
built of white marble which is quite
elastic, yielding to a heavy tread, and
returning or rebounding to its original
position on true elastic principles.

HOW TO RUN FAR AND FAST.
Keep the Knees Bent, Lean Forward and
Lift tho Feet Very Slightly.

Keep the Knees Bent, Lean Forward and
Lift the Feet Very Slightly.
Psychologists and lovers of athletics
may be interested in recent expert
ments and researches of a French
artillery captain, NJ. de Raoul, who,
some fifteen years ago, began to try
and find out the most economical and
least trying way of walking. There
are many manners of walking, says
the Popular Science News, some of
which are much devoid of grace, but
it may be supposed that as far as eff
cheney is concerned one must be better
than the others. NJ. de Raoul has
come to the conclusion that, as far as
fast walking is concerned, the best
method is that which he calls marche
enflexion. The principle is to run
without leaping, to raise the body
above ground as little as possible, to
keep the knees bent, the upper part OF
the body inclined forward, so that
practically you are always running
after your center of gravity. The feet
must be raised only very slightly. M.
de Raoul, who has now some years of
experience, says that he can now take
any man between twenty and sixty
and teach him to run as long as his
legs can carry him without getting
out of breath. Some men can, on the
very first trial of the method, run seven
or eight miles without stopping, while,
with the ordinary tactics, they could
not have run over one mile. The first
kilometer "a kilometer is fve-eighths
of mile) is usually covered in seven
minutes and quarter, the second in
six minutes, and the third in five min
utes and forty=five seconds An inter
esting feature of NJ. de Raoul's re-
searches is that even after a long run,
according to his method, a stiff walk is
no trouble at all; the muscles which
work in both cases do not belong to
the same set, and while one exercise is
performed the muscles which minister
to the other rest.

TO A GLORIOUS VIC

DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 16.-After 1 o'clock this morning the majority ot the commit tee on platform brought in it's report. It's fourth section contained the Chicago plat form upon gold and silver, word for word. Six or seven eloquent speeches followed in defense of each report, and at midnight a roll of the counties was called and the ma jority report adopted. When this was an- nounced the widest scene since the dedica- tion of the tower of Babel followed.
 Upon assembling this morning the first business announced was the reading of letter from Hon. John H. Reagan, which is as follows:
 State Democratic Convention of Texas
 "SIR: Ihave made my canvass, among other things, in favor of clear, distinct declaration of the use of both gold and sil- yer as the standard money of the country and the coinage of both metals, without discrimination against either or charge for mintage, at the ratio of 16 to 1.
 "The vote of this convention discloses the fact that it does not approve of such an explicit declaration and 1 bow to it's au- tbority. But inasmuch as my view of the necessity of such explicit declaration on this great question does not accord with the judgment of the convention, and as 1 believe the maintenance of my own couvic-
 
 tance than acquisition of official position, withdraw my name as candidate for the office of governor from the consideration of the convention.
 'sI do this because whomsoever you pom- mate should be in full accord with the announced views of the convention. Other issues of vital importance to the continued growth and prosperity of our great state and local concern will engage the attention ofthe democraticparty in this campaign and as fully concur in the declaration of the convention upon these issues, pledge my hearty support 10 the ticket that may be nominated by the convention.
 .tJoHN H. REAGAN"
 When the reading of the letter was fin shed Judge Reagan was called for, and ln few moments stepped on the rosirum and addressed the convention. Judge Reagan s speech was one that would indicate that the ttgrand old mano is not going to sulk in his tent, but will take up the democratic banner and helpcarry it to victory. Judge Reaga s speech was able, concliatory and by all means patriotic, and was vocifer- ously spplauded.
 At the conclusion of Judge Reagan's re- marks the chairman announced that nomi- nations of candidates for governor were in order.
 The Hon. John D. Mccall, Hon. Charles A. Culbersou and Hon. s. w. Lanham roll call had been completed tue other nominations were withdrawn and Culber- son's nomination was made unanimous.
 MT. Culberson was introduced and in twenty minutes, speech heartily thanked the convention for the nomination. At the conclusion of MT. Culberson's s remarks the convention adjourned till 2:30.

IRISH CATHOLIC BENEVOLENT UNION DE-
 NoUNCEs HIS UTrZRANCKs.
 YORK, Pa. Aug. 16.-The Ssecond days session of the national convention of the Irish Catholic Benevolent union of the United States and Canada was called to or der this morning. Martin I. J. Griffin, editor of Griffin's Journal, the official or gan of the union, made public retraction and apologized for publishing chargee made by him against delegates to the Pitts burg convention. The apology was &C., cepted by the convention.
 Resolutions were adopted by the conveu- ton reiterating devotion 10 cath holicity, charity and benevolence; expressing alle- glance to the government of the United States, instructing the president of the union to cable greetings to his holiness, Pope Leo KILT, and extending to him the loyalty and devotion of the union and con demning Editor GrfAn for "sttacking tho national president and secretary upon their former religion, and his scandaIous attack upon Father Megitland and Brother Doughery of Pittsburgh because of their legitimate action at the last convention, through the medium of his newspaper.
 A spirited debate of two hours duration followed on the adoption of the resolutions as presented. The resolutions were adopted. Charges were then presented in writing against MT. Griffin and placed in the hands of a committee, which will make report.

PROMISED TO HAVE PROMPT ACTION ON TdE
 FOUR FREE BILLS.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-When MT. liar ris made the statement he other day on the floor of the senate that be would insist that the finance committee take prompt action on the four independent tariff bills, he made promise, which as far as he can con- trol the siiuliion, will be carried out. Evi- dence of that fact was manifested today, for almost immediately afler the passage of his motion referring these four bills 10 the finance committee he issued call for meeting of the committee at 3:30 o'clock.
 There ere present all the members ex cept Messrs. Voorhees and Morrill,, one of whom is absent and the other si, k. There is one vacancy, that caused by the death of Mr. Vance, and thus the com m ttee is a tie As soon as the committee assem- bled MT. Harris made the statement that he was pledged to report the bills back to the sena.e, and this he proposed to do if possI- while Messrs. Vest and McPhe had nothing to say. The republicans were asked If they would agree that the demo- crats should vote the six votes that be- longed to them in the composition of the committee, but they declined to permit this sort of an arrangement to go into ef- feet.
 This rather nettIed MT. Jones, who re- marked that the only thing for the demo- crats to do was to go to the senate and ask to have the vacancy filled. He arose from his seat and apparently was starting for the door with that end in view, when the ad- jonrnment bell rang and the fight, if there was to be one, was postponed until tomor- row.
 The committee will meet again st 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Just how the democrats eau fill the vacancy so necessary to the securing of report on these bills re. mains to b. seen.
