The strikes at New Bedford and Fall
River, Mass, present some curious
phases. Everybody appears TO be in a
good humor, and the mill owners have
notified the authorities, as told in our
dispatches yesterday, that their plants
do not need police protection. The idle
operatives, in philosophical frame of
mind, have made the strike more of A
pleasant vacation" than anything else,
seeking recreation in the healthful open
air of the woods" One storekeeper in
Fall River is of the opinion that a good
brisk rainfall would settle the whole
thing THE operatives would run into
the mills TO keep from getting their
jackets wet" When this strike is con-
trasted with that riotous and property
destroying strike at Chicago recently,
one feels inclined to ask, how is it that
the two Incidents, so widely differing in
character, can be given the same generic
name2

If congress had done nothing else than
repeal the infamous federal election laws,
the people would have cause to be CRATE
full TO the Democratic party. For years
the democracy has fought the law that
made Davenport and his iniquities posi-
BILE, but not until this year was the party
ever able to purge the statute books of
that black blot upon them. Henceforth
there will be no more of arresting and i'm
prisoning voters on election day, without
warrant or excuse, and keeping them
locked up until it is too late for them to
vote. In New York, Indiana and Ohio
especially the federal election law was in
famously enforced. Thousands of men
were locked up during each election day,
merely to prevent them from voting the
democratic ticket Under democracy
qualified electors will vote as they
please, without fear or molestation.

The Clover.

Some sings of the lily, aud daisy, aud rose,
And the pansies and pinks that the summertime
throws
In the green grassy lap of the medder that lays
Blnkin up at the skies through the sunshiny days;
But what is the lily, and all of the rest
OF the flowers to a man with a heart in his breast
That was dipped brimmin' full of the honey and
dew
OF the. sweet clover blossoms his babyhood knew
lnever set eyes on clover field now,
Er fool round stable, er climb in the NOW,
But my childhood comes back Jest as clear and as
plain
AS the smell of a clover Pm sniffin' again;
wunder away in bare-footed dream.
Whar tange my toes in the blossoms that CLEAN
With the dew of the dawn of the morning of love
Ere it wept DER the graves that I'm weepn' above.
And so love clover-it seems like a part
Of the sacerdest sorrows and joys of my heart
And whatever 1t blossoms, oh, thar let me bow
And thank the good God as I'm thankin him now;
And pray to him still fer the strength, when
die,
To go out in the clover and tell 1t goodbye,
And lovnly nestle my face in its bloom
While my soul slips away on breth of perfume,

General Dow's Way.

81 was a policeman in Portland when
General Neal Dow was mayor of the city
In 1854" said a Lewiston gentleman. "A
man had been abusing his wife on Pearl
street, and the mayor had personally in
structed me to go down and arrest the
man and to be sure and bring his bottle
along with the prisoner too. The mayor
came into the municipal court the next
morning and requested that the bottle be
brought in and tried with the man. The
man pleaded guilty to kicking over tho
table and swearing at his wife, but stuck
to it that he had not been drinking. Tho
mayor took the bottle and placed it on the
table in the courtroom, and the prisoner
fixed his eyes on it and admitted that he
had drunk out of it,
when the man was sent up to the jail,
Mayor Dow took the bottle along himself
and requested the turnkey to place the
flask lust outside the cell door where the
prisoner could see it, and it stood there
two months. He begged to have the bot
tie broken or removed Once, when the
door was opened, he made a dash with his
foot to break it, but did not succeed
When that man was released, he perfectly
hated the sight of a whisky bottle, and to
nv certain knowledge he never tasted II

it to several who have tried it and been
cured"
Here is the voluntary testimony of a most
estimable lady, that she was cured by DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
1t is a wonderful tribute to the great val
ne of this medicine in curing disease. There
is large class of people who, while not ex-
actly sick, suffer from extreme nervousness,
feel weak and tired, lack their old-time
strength and ambition. They do not eat or
sleep well, wake mornings tired, with dull
feeling head and no inclination to take hold
of their work.
To all such we would recommend Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
for it will certainly give strong nerves and
vigorous bodies--in fact will make you
strong and well.
This medicine is recommended by doc
tors 1t is not patent medicine, but the
prescription of the most successful living
specialist in curing nervous aud chronic
diseases, DR.. Greene, of "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass. He has the largest practice
in the world, and this grand medical dis
covery il the result of his vast experience
The great reputation of DR.. Greene is a
guarantee that this medicine will cure, and
the fact that he can be consulted by anyone
at any time free of charge, personally or by
letter, gives absolute assurance of the bene-
fetal action of this wonderful medicine.

headache and dizziness, which untitled me

highly recommended compounds, but they

that other poor sufferers may be pointed to

of Operation.
Tho cleo bullet finder or probe, an
invention John H. Girdnef' of New
York, consl Of an ordinary telephone
receiver an ordinary metal probe and an
extra bulb Of the same metal that the
probe Is made Of lnasmuch as there Is
no battery connected with the apparatus
Il may puzzle even an electrician to dis
cover wherein the electrical element lies
Just here is where the instrument assumes
its truly scientific aspect, for its invention
proves that there is definite quantity of
electricity in the battery which supplies
the current.
DR. Grdnor had tried for years to devise
some surcr means of locating bullets than
was possible with the ordinary probe
Some years ago somebody had invented an
electric bullet probe which depended on a
battery cell to supply the current But
the trouble WAS that as soon as the end of
the probe was inserted in the flesh an clcc
trio circuit would be established through
the flesh Itself and the electric hell would
ring So it was not known whether
bullet had been touched or not
One night it occurred To DR.. Girdncr
that the body itself might contain enough
of u current to operate IA b., ii or tcle
phone receiver Experiment proved the
fact The principle of the instrument is
as follows: The metal bulb is placed in
the wounded PERSONS mouth. The tele-
phone receiver is held to the surgeon
ear and the probe in the hole made by the
bullet. The bulb in the mouth and the
probe are made of the same metal, copper
being preferred, and because they are
the same no manifestation is heard in the
telephone. But as soon as the leaden
bullet is touched it brings another metal
into the circuit. The human body then
Immediately becomes one immense cell,
which generates current strong enough
to operate the telephone, so that as soon as
the bullet is touched click is heard in
the telephone, and the location of the bul'
let is established beyond doubt. Boston

A FEATURE of the November Arena
that will awaken the curiosity of all
those who enjoy getting both sides of
debatable questions is the treatment of
"The Bible and Modern Spiritualism''
at the hands of two eminent orthodox
Christian scholars. who are both theo
logues and medical men. They are
Henry A. Hartt, NJ D., and J. NJ
PEBBLES, A. M NJ. D, and both writ.
ing from the orthodox Christian stand
point, they take Numerically opposite
views. Dr.. HART holds that the mira
Giles and revelations and prophecies of
the Bible had no relation to spiritual
ism in its modern interpre alton, and
DIR. PEBBLES holds that they most we're
distinctly to be included among spirit
ualistic phenomen ma. Doubters can
therefore choose between two orthodox
views.
The Popular Science Moathly for No
vember makes a strong opening for a
new volume. First comes fully illus
trated account of "The Glaciers Of
Greenland" by Prof. Angelo Heilprin.
The explorations OF Peary, the mystic
rious loss of Verhoeff, and the recent
unlucky trip Of the Miranda have made

Among the many illustrations is a new
portrait of Napoleon, the reproduction
of crayon sketch made BY comrade
in 1885, the original of which was found
after long search, undertaken by The
Century, in collection OF drawings at
the Louvre, not exhibited. Charles
Dudley Warner has written an interest
ing sketch of Professor Sloane, which
appears in this number. Tame said of
Professor Sloane some years ago that
she knew France better than any OF her
foreigner he had ever met"
THE November number of Scribner'S
Magazine has for its leading article one
of especially timely interest on Elec-
ton Night in a Newspaper Office"
written by Julien Ralph, one of the
New York Suns most valued special cor
respondents and newspaper man of
wide experience. He describes, with
his well .known,vividness and truth, the
exacting and laborious work done by

at such time, and gives realistic i'm

THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.


Said to BE Composed of Gold, Platinum
and Iridium.
Did you ever stop to consider the fact
that in all probability the center of the
earth is a globe of gold, iridium and plati-
mum? These metals are, of course, in u
liquid state, the iridium at the exact cen
ter-that is, providing there is not some
heavier metal at present unknown to man
occupying that place-the platinum next
and the globe of gold surrounding tho
other two.
But" you say, what proof have we
that your proposition is tenable hypO
thcssY" In answer l would say, two
proofs at least and perhaps more: First,
the three metals mentioned are the heavi-
est known substances compared bulk for
bulk This being the case, they would be
naturally attracted to the center of our
planet. In the beginning" as Moses
would say the earth was liquid, if not
gaseous. In either case the heavy metals
mentioned were held in solution. BY
gradual condensation the metals settled to
the center. Iridium first with the pro
viso above mentoned), platinum next,
gold last
Ages ago, when the crust OF the earth
was thin-very thin-all the gold now
known was vomitcd out in volcanic erup
tions This last mentioned fact is the sec
ond reason for believing that our globe has
q golden center core woven around a
nucleus of iridium and platinum. third
reason for believing that there is gold at
the center is this: The earth as n whole
weighs five times as much as globe of
water of the same bulk, while the rocks
forming the same outer crust are less than
three times as heavy as water Chicago

Clouds Have Solid GIObules of Wate

NJ. Van der Mensbrugghe, member of
the Academic DIES Sciences, Brussels, has
been Investigating the true nature of
clouds. 1t is supposed that clouds are an
assemblage of little hollow vesicles, or of
little fun globulcs of water, but there is "A
doubt as to which, and NJ. Van der Mems
brugghe is in favor of the latter hypoth-
esis. If the globulcs are very small they
float in the air, but if relatively large they
fall, and in traversing warmer layers OF
the atmosphere are evaporated to a smaller
size until they are able to float at lower
level. 1t is, in fact, unnecessary to sup
pose their interior TO be filled with air

SPIDER IN A DIVING BELL.
Curious Insect Which Spends Much OF
Its Time Under Water.


There is, it appears, a small spider, such
as may be called the diving spider, al
though rather rare. Like all its kin, it is
an air breathing creature and dives below
the surface of ponds and spends a large
part of its Il under water. 1t manages
to do thus much in the same way that n
man in diving bell is able to live and
work for a considerable time at the bot
tom Of the sea. 1t surrounds the whole
under part Of it's body, where it's breathing
organs are, with bubble of air. and, in
cased in this crystalline bell, it keeps the
water out and is able to breathe freely.
Exposed to the attacks of many enemies
above water, it seeks to escape from them
by making hiding place for itself at the
bottom of the pond. This it does by draw
ing together the tops of some of the weeds
growing there with n few threads which it
spins, so as to make little bower 1t
then ascends to the surface and brings
down bubble of air with it, part of which
it squeezes out and leaves in the inside of
the bower, whose stems, meeting over it,
prevent it from getting out of its place and
rising to the top, as air bubbles always do
when disturbed or released.
The spider then, with the part of the
bubble which it has kept to itself, ascends
to the surface second time and fetcheS
down another bubble of air, part of which
it secures in the same fashion, and with
the remaining part ascends to the top to
bring down some more air. 1t repeats
this curious proceeding until within tho
bower it has succeeded in forming Il bub
BILE of air as big us a plum, concealed and
kept in its place by the slken meshes of

In Mercer county, Pa, some bright
young farmers have gone into the business
of extracting poison from the common
honey bee. There are two ways in which
this is done In one operation the little in
sects are confined in bottles and enraged
by being 'poked' with stick until they
deposit the tiny drops of the venom; in
the other the poison is simply squeezed into
glass tubes. 1t is said to be an infallible
remedy for rheumatism, dropsy, ague, etc.
