TO Work Up the Evidence.
GEORGETOWN, Nov. 22.-It has been
decided to make contest of the seats
OF tho two Republican State Senators
chosen in Sussex county at the recent
election.
Tuesday afternoon the subject was
considered at meeting here OF repre-
sentative Democrats from all parts of
the county, over which William II.
Boyce presided. II was decided that the
violations of the election law, together
with the open manner in which the cor
ruption funds were expended by the
Republicans, afforded ample grounds
for a contest, with the additional advan-
tage of exposing the system of corrupt
yote.buying by sworn testimony, which
would be obtained by the contest. A
committee was appointed 10 make an
investigation, for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning what reliable testimony could
be obtained for presentation to the Sem
ate, and TO report at meeting to DO
held when they are through with their

"sun's'' Hostility to Addicks.
Editor The gazette! From one or
two articles which have been copied by
your paper from the New York Sun,
that journal appears to be deeply inter
ested in attempting to ridicule Mr..

States Senate from Delaware.
Why is it the Sun appears to be
so deeply interested in Mr.. Addicks'
aspirations? General James II. Wilson
is an intimate personal friend of the
editor Of the Sun, and is an open advo-
cate and ally Of Mr. Higgins. Does this
dual friendship explain the SUMS delight
in speaking Of Mr.. Addicks as Seas

AS an outside observer it strikes me
that Mr.. Higgins is largely in the gas

manufactures and sells illuminating
gas to consumers who desire it and pay
for it, Mr. Higgins distributes his gas in
all directions, and it is not illuminating
gas either. OBSERVER.

to Give Pritchard, a London lawyer, to

to Lawyer Boyd of this city, and he

ELECTRICAL THEORY or VISION.


A Scientist Tells an Experience He Had
Watching h Rhine Falls.
When lecturing at the Royal insti-
tuition recently Professor Lodge put
forward a hypothesis concerning the
relations between vision and cleo
tricity. In connection with this
theory DR.. Obach communicates to
Nature an interesting account of
an observation of his on his own eyes.
One evening, he tells us, after watch
ing the famous Rhine falls near
Schauffhausen for a considerable
time-in the full glare of the sun,
which produced a dazzling whiteness
of spray, DR.. Obach felt intense pains
in his head, which did not diminish
much ven after he had retired to
bed in a perfectly dark room. He
thereupon resorted to a remedy
which had given relief to pains in
the eyes on previous occasions, sim
ply placing the thumb and forefinger
over the closed eyelids and impart-
ing gentle vibrations to the eyeballs.
After two~eE~three vibrations he
was compelled to stop, as the remedy
was not only painful, but produced
the sensation Of a blush white light
OF dazzling brightness-like an cleo
trio arc-being. brought almost into
contact with the eyes. After the
lapse of d few minutes the luminous
phenomena subsidized, and he again
commenced the vibrations of the
eyeballs, which now could be done
longer than before ere it became un-
bearable. This operation was re-
peated eight or ten times, till finally
the vibrations were almost painless
and no longer produced any lumi-
Mostly.
The explanation of this phenome-
non appears to DR.. Obach to be this.
The intense brightness of the light
reflected from the spray had not only
reduced the resistance of the inter
cepting medium to a minimum, but
at the same time overtaxed the elias
tic tissues whose duties it would have
been to shake the material back into
it's normal condition after the cessa-
ton Of the light. The energy thus
lost by the tissues was then sup
pressed from without by the vibrat-
ing fingers. For what reason the re.
turn of the intercepting substance to
it's original insulating condition
should also be attended by the sensa-
ton of light Is difficult to conjecture,
unless it be directly due to the physi-
illogical effect produced on breaking
the circuit. Similar effects, DR..
Obach says, can be observed in a less
pronounced form on vibrating the
eyeballs after an ordinary overstrain
of the eyes. X.
