The Work OF Nr. Cleveland and the
Reform Club.

Two incidental lessons are to be learned
from Tuesdays special election In this
town. The first is that the interpretation OF
the Federal Administration. through it's
officeholders and several OF its stock -in-
trade extollers, IL an element OF weakness
to the Democracy. which must be regarded
hereafter as a serious menace To success.
Had Mr.. FAIRcHILD. Mr.. SENNRR. Mr..
WHEELER, and Mr.. GRACE desired to pro-
mote the election Of the two Democratic
candidates. they could not have acted more
wisely than to refrain from all participation
In the canvass. The least judicious Of the
group was undoubtedly Mr.. SESNER. who
holds the Federal Office Of Commissioners OF
Immigration. 1t was he that advanced on
the Harlem hastings the extraordinary
argument that BRowS aud STRAUs must be
supported In order that the hands of Mr..
CLEVELAND might be strengthened in car
rying out his chosen policies. and the Ad-
minlstration be assured OF the support OF
two Representatives who would free 1t from
any dependence upon Senator HILL and
the regular organization.
There are, undoubtedly. more Democrats
than Republicans in the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Congress districts; but that
majority Of the voters Of either district are
favorable to the policies outlined and pur-
sued by the Federal Administration is ex-
tremely doubtful The result OF Tuesdays
voting shows that. II was in the district in
which Col BROWN was defeated by a Re-
publican, that the cuckoo politicians made
their greatest efforts.
The second lesson 10 be derived from the
contest OF Tuesday is the fact that while
the regular Democracy is militant and all
powerful In support Of Democrats whose
record OF regularity Is unlmpaired aud I'M
impeachable. its full support cannot be in-
VOked for candidates who stand upon any
uncertain ground To a very moderate eI-
tent. Mir. STRAUs was supposed to have
favored the disOrganizing guerrillas who
sought two years ago 10 oyerturn the regu-
lar organization. This did not cut much
figure in the canvass. because Mr.. STRAUs
had taken no active part personally in the
Augwump antics, except as a private citi-
Lsn INDUCING Ia the expression OF his indl-
yidual or neighborly sentiments.
With Col. Brown, however, the case was
different. The stalwsTt BROWN was a rep
Tesentatiye Of tho strongest Democratic

BY CARAVAN.
Routine of a Day OF Marching In Some
Great Desert.

Routine of a Day OF Marching In Some
Great Desert.
This caravan life has subtle charm
of its own when one is in perfect health
and things go smoothly; and even if
they do not, the minor discomforts of
a nomad existence do not weigh heav-
lily on nerves blunted by the open air
and certain amount of healthy
fatigue. When one journeys by vesti-
bule train or Wagner slecping-car the
short space of time between two cities
is like an interim, an entr'acte, during
which ones daily routine is suspended,
to be resumed again only when he
leaves the train at his destination. But
here, where the distances are so vast,
the real existence is on the road, and
the brief stay in each city, full of fever
ish, agitated movement and unrest, be-
comes the interim and the traveller
looks forward to the calm and pure air
of the desert plateau beyond and the
comfort of his tent. The routine of
daily life is a little trying at first, but
easily learned. Each twcnty-four
hours is divided into four parasitic
period of hurry and activity in the
early morning, a longer one of compar-
alive tranquility on the march, the
brief hour of hustle on arriving at our
destination, and then ''nirvana," the
dreamlcss sleep of the night At half
past three or four o'clock in the morn
ing it is time to get up and dress by
candle-light, to call for the sam
ovar" and hot tea, to see that the men
in the kitchen tent are astir, and
that the chavadars are feeding their
horses Then the small articles are
packed, Abdullah brings in breakfast
and while we are eating the chavadars
come in to take out the baggage, the
first red light from the rising sun
shines through the transparent walls,
and then the tent itself is pulled down,
and we are shivering in the frosty and
bracing morning air. Sometimes break
fast is finished on one of the camp
chests while the table is being packed
away. When the last load has been
secured, and the groul d, now strewn
with eggshells and lotse straw, has
been searched for lost articles, we
mount our horses or walk on ahead.
Then comes the long day of compare
tive rest, and when the brief morning
chill has passed away, made drowsy by

THE MISSING DAY.
An Interesting Imaginary Line Drawn In
tAe PnClilc Ocean.

A question which has often been
asked, but rarely answered satisfac-
torily, is, how far one would have to
go around the earth, moving east and
west, and supposing no time lost in
transition, before one would reach the
point where to-day changes into yes
terday or tomorrow. Evidently there
must be such n point somewhere, for
an hour is lost every fifteen degrees
one goes to the east and an hour
gained every fifteen degrees one goes
to the west
TO put the question in another way,
suppose it is one minute past midnight
in Paris on the morning of October Il,
what day is it at that same moment at
the antipodes of Paris? Is it October
or September 30?
Apparently one can prove that it is
either of these by making an instanta-
neous journey half way around the
earth, either to the east or to the west.
Going east, at the moment the Paris
clocks point to a minute past midnight,
it is approximately one o'clock in the
morning of October l at Vienna, two
o'clock of the samelday at Sebastopol,
three o'clock at,Astrakhan, four o'clock
at Bokhara, seven o'clock at Saigon,
nine o'clock at Yokohama, eleven
o'clock at Pine island and at Fortune
island-the list of October at every
point.
On the other hand, going westward,
one finds that it is ten o'clock in the
evening of September 80 at the Azores
islands, eight o'clock in the evening at
Buenos Ayres, seven o'clock at New
York, six o'clock at New Orleans, if
teen minutes past three at Mexico city,
one o'clock in the afternoon near the
Aleutian islands, ana noon at the For
tune islands-the date being Septem-
Der so in each CASE
Thus one has demonstrated that it is
noon of October and noon of Septem-
Der so at the same place and ut the
same time.
This would certainly be embarrass-
ing to the good people of Fortune
island, and in order to avoid such COM
plications and relieve well-meaning
islanders in the Pacific from mixing
up their Saturdays and Sundays in
hopeless fashion an arbitrary line sep
arating to-day from yesterday or to-
morrow has been agreed upon by the
navigators of civilized nations.
This line has been drawn to avoid
touching land No one can be exactly
sure of the moment of passing it, but
the line runs just east of the New
Hebrdes and the New CALIFORNIAN
groups and passes near the Marion
islands and the Caroline islands.
Captains of vessels judging by the
positions of the islands mentioned,
can fix the date within few minutes.
Vessels sailing from west to east, on
passing the imaginary line, simply re-
peat the day before on their logbools,
which consequently show two days
bearing the same date.
On the other hand, ships going in
the opposite direction skip tomorrow
and lose a day entirely. In the first case
the sailors get an extra days pay; in
the second place they lose days pay.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is that when Paris clocks indicate a
minute past midnight on October it
is October 1 going east as far as the
imaginary line just indicated, while
it is September 80 going west up to the
same line. Chicago Tribune.

the growing heat OF the sun, we nod
and sway in our saddles, lulled by the
monotony of the slow march and the
ceaseless tinlSling of the bells. Over
deserts of white salt like new fallen
snow or frozen sleet, where the horizon
swims and quivers in the mirage, and
over plains hoored with black volcanic
deposit we ride on and on, over passes,
across rivers and marshy plains, until
it is time to hurry on ahead of the car
AVIAN and dispatch hasty lunch on
some shelterless hillside, or deep in n
gully if the wind blows, and best of
all, where there is n brook in which
to cool bottle of wine. This caravan,
unlike some, never halts at noon,
but keeps on at the same unvarying
pace until its allotted task is done, At
last the frightening shadows and the
sight of the mud walls of the village
where we are to halt warn us that it is
time to spur on with the chavadar to
select our camping ground before the
baggage animals come up. 1t was usu-
ally our fate to encamp on a p'owed
field, and it was no small piece of work
to clear the ground of stones and briers;
often in high wind it required the
combined strength of all of us to hold
the tapping canvas while the pegs were
being driven in, and we were fortunate
indeed if there were no wet sketches
lying about when the dust drove in
clouds under the tent. When the cords
are well secured the baggage is brought
in, carpets are spread ont, beds unfold
ed and the ebonite filters are put in
working order so that the tea or the
refreshing peg may be forthcoming.

to jot down impressions of color before
