sympathetic Inks.

Letters written with solution of gold
silver, copper, tin or mercury dissolved in
aqua forts, or, simpler still, of iron or
lead in vinegar, with water added until
the liquor does not stain white paper,
will remain invisible for two or three
months if kept shut up in the dark, but on
exposure for some hours to the open air
will gradually acquire color, or will do SO
instantly on being held before the fire.
Each Of these solutions gives its own
peculiar color to the writing-gold, deep
violet; silver, slate; lead and copper,
brOwn-but all possess the common dis
advantage that in time they eat away
the paper, leaving the letters in the form
of perforations There is a vast number
of other solutions that become visible on
exposure to heat or on having a heated
iron passed over them, the explanation
being that the matter is readily burned to
a sort OF charcoal, simplest among which
we may mention lemon juice or milk, but
the one that produces the best results is
made by dissolving a scrvple of sal am
moniac in two ounces of water.
Writing with rice water TO be rendered
visible by the application of iodine, was
practiced successfully in the correspond
ence with Jelalabad in the first African
war. The letter was concealed in Quill
On opening it a small paper was unfolded,
on which appeared the single word

and Herewith appeared an important dis
patch from Sir Robert Sale-Chanbers'

London and Paris Telephones.

Overhead wires are prohibited in Paris
ESQ are sky signs, and how much the city
gains in beauty those only know who have
seen London, with its unsightly webs
strung across the housetops, spelling what
ever of the picturesque there may be about
the streets and constituting a serious dan
ger to persons and TO property.
There is no comparison either in the eff
ficiency of the telephone in the two cities.
A whisper may be heard in Paris, while
in London telephoning is generally most
exasperatinz operation. a striking piece
of evidence upon this point is afforded by
the fact that it is well nigh impossible to
telephone from Paris to any given sub
scriber in London, and that before the in
strument could be of any practical use for
long messages the two great foreign news
agencies, Dalziel's and Reuters, were
obliged 10 have special wires laid under
ground TO their offices from ST. Martins
lie Grand. On the other hand, any sub
scriber in any part of the French capital
may be heard with ease from the general
postoffice in London. In this and one or
two matters already mentioned John Bull
has good deal 10 learn from Jacques Bon
hOmme.-Good Words

MlSTOOK HIS AUDIENCE.
And They Rebelled When He Began to
Talk OF Improving Appetites.

The dapper little man in the check suit
with bulky cane and large yellow va
lise, saw q good sized crowd on the street
corner and Immediately dived into the
center of it. He didn't take time to stop
TO find out what was the reason of the
crowds gathering, but began business at
once. The thick cane was given a dexter
Gus twist that developed it into tripod,
and the large yellow valise was placed Oh
top of it.
Gentlemen, " began the dapper man.
The crowd concentrated its collective eyes
on him. Il have here, >" continued the
orator, with the easy confidence of man

ing, Il have here for sale at 20 cents a

He said no more. The crowd of hungry

speed. indianapolis Journal

HOW WATCHES RUN.
Their Regularity Depends Largely Upon
the Owners Magnetism.

every man is his own magnet" is the
proposition recently evolved by Wash
ington jeweler of many years experience.
1T is all dependent on the animal mag
netism of the owner whether or not his
watch will run fast or slow, - said the jew
eler when explaining his theory TO the
postman. 1.-The same watch will run at
different speeds when carried by different
persons, and no person is likely to put a
watch on and have it keep satisfactory
time without returning once or twice To
the jeweler to have the regulator touched
to get the system of it keyed up to the
same pitch as that of the owner.
"Now, used TO have friend who had
an excellent Swiss watch, while had one
of another make. By mutual consent at
one time we exchanged watches, and
though they had gone all right before, they
then changed their gait entirely, mine
running FIVE minutes ahead in a couple OF
days and his running five minutes behind
There was 10 minutes difference in our
temperaments. But that is nothing COM
pared to the difference between some peo-
pie. Sometimes watch that will run
well on one man will not go with another,
and there are some people who cannot get
a watch that viii run on them at all.
Il remember a good many years ago ]
had man come to my place with an old
fashioned English lever silver watch to be
repaired. l had some very nice gold
watches in stock at the time, and as he
looked well of tried 10 sell him one, but
he laughed and said If any Of the gold
watches l had in the store would run p
hours in his pocket ne would give me twice
what asked for it. He said he had tried
all sorts of gold watches and had never
been able to get one that would run while
he had it. he had experimental with his
brothers watch only little while before,
he said, and it cost him IS. 80 to have il
demagnetized after he had carried IL in his
pocket two days. Most silver watches act
ed the same way with him, but the old
English watch he was carrying had dOu-
bic inside case 10 it and worked fairly well
I've never been able to tell whether
the average watch will run faster when
it is in its owner possession or not. There
seems to be no rule on the subject, but
can never regulate a watch on ny swing
board there and then give IL To customer
and have il keep good time. Then there
is a variation with a change in vitality. \
watch will ordinarily run slower the lon
ger IL IL carried after cleaning because the
oil dries and the bearings are harder. but
] have had customers come 70 ma and say
that their watches had started up and
gone to gaining time several months after
they had been cleaned / just tell them
that can't account for IL except on the
theory Of a change in their own vitality ~
temperament It's one cf those thing
that cannot be explained, but IL Is true
nevertheless. H-Washiagton Post

Streams of Stars In the Milky Way.

Some Of the streams OF fainter stars In
the milky way are very striking, and must
convince the most skeptical OF their reality.
1t is possible TO draw an arc of a circle
through any three stars, and comic sec
ton through any five, but where we find
10 or 90 stars falling into line, not once,
but in many cases, and that there is a curl
Gus similarity between the strange curves
and branching streams which these pha-
langes of stars mark out on the heavens
there is no room left for doubt that the
mind Is not being led away By a tendency
Of the imagination similar 20 that which
finds faces in the fire or sees a man carry
ing sticks on the face 81 the moon.
If il is proved that a group Of stars is
arranged in line OF marshaled in any or
der, IL would follow that the individuals
OF the group must be actually as well as
apparently close 10 one another, and that
they form some kind II system, having all
Of them had common origin or been sub
ject 70 some common influence What
these streams and curves 81 stars mean,
and what forces have Inarshaled them IN
lines forms one Of the grandest problems
Of the future, one that I trust may live
TO see unraveled.

A Strangers First Impressions of the Gam

We drove to Monte Carlo and staid for

adjoining strip Of land Monaco, not moro
than four miles spare altogether, form the

prince of the same name, who obtains the
bulk of his revenue from Monte Carlo.
This is now the only public gambling done
in the world. The building itself is very
handsome, but gaudy, with great deal of
red marble and gold ornamentation about
it. Each person on entering has to present
his or her card, and, if a man, has 10

entered square marble hall, with doors
opening out Of it. We turned 10 the left,
and passing through double doors found
ourselves in sort of vestibule which led
directly into the large gaming hall beyond,
which again led into smaller rooms with
more tables Around each table were seat
ed about 90 people, with their little piles
of money, either gold or silver, in front of
them, and their pencils and note pads all
ready to check down every play, while
terest on the roulette wheel in the center
of the table No one spoke, and the click
of the balls as they dropped into the holes
and the rattle OF the money as it was raked

Special Dispatch tothe Daily Eagle
HUTCHINSON, Kan, 16.-Major Morrill,,
Republican candidate for governor, arriv-
ed here this evening to speak to the old
soldiers. To representative of the EAGLE
he said:
''The Allen letter has had a wonderful
effect. Aliens explanation was not to the
point. He said he hadn't changed his
mind. The letter was written only about
ninety days ago, and in it he states that
the administration of affairs in the larger
cities of the state WAS corrupt and that
that condition met with the governor
sanction.
IL find that the Republican sentiment.
on rational grounds, is marvelousiy
strong. 1t seems to lie in the air. Men
are dissatisfied with the way the Demo-
Gratis at Washington are running affairs.
They have not carried out single plank
in their national platform.
They declared that the protection idea
was unconstitutional and here they have
passed protective bill. They declared for
the repeal of the tax on state banks and
the repeal has been defeated.
81 cannot see now how the great Repub-
iican sentiment among the people can be
overcome in Kansas This year. l DO not
see how the Populists can be elected.
There is not only the positive Republican
enthusiasm abroad, but the equally potent
dissat isfactiOn among the populists over
the corruption and mismanagement of the
state administration. 1t is telling on the
Populist strength"
Have you estimated Overmeyer's
strength"
Il have heard several estimates made of
Overmeyer's strength"
'"These estimates range from 1900 to
80, coo votes. Now in Kansas last year the
Democrats had tickets in seventy-three
counties and, from that, | think that r.,
900 votes for straight Democratic state
ticket this year is entirely too low"
How will the decrease in population af-
feet the vote ?'
I'VE have reason to believe that it will
decimate the Populist vote. In Thomas
county, for instance, it is reported that
thirty-nine people have left there. IL is
said that thirty of these were POpulists,
six Republicans and three Democrats.
Major Morrill, is in good health. His
step Is firm and his eyes bright. He is
meeting with great audiences all over the
state, aud is gratified at his success.

Hard to Realize.

Tie variety of ways in which a given

culating the number OF different ways in

ton can be readily grasped;

100 0O0, 600 OF years at the rate Of deal

THE eA5Y AND THE SNAKE.
The Child Fed and Petted = Deadly Black
snake and Was Not Hurt

Snake stories were the order Of the
evening when b. Ii. Winterbower Of
Meade county, Ky. said: Il can tell You
one that is true to the letter and quito as
surprising as any of your yarns. \ sister
in-law OF mine. living in the vicinity of
Garrett, Ky, had a girl baby hardly years
old and not able TO talk plainly. She con
tracted habit of taking a cup OF bread
and milk every morning and strolling of
into some high weeds back Of the horse
pond. Her mother thought nothing of it
until finally her curiosity was aroused, a.
the child could not be prevailed upon TO
sit in the house and eat and would say in
infantile prattle, Give pretty sing some.
"One day her mother followed her. and
the sight she beheld almost caused her TO
swoon. She screamed, grabbed the child
and ran TO the house. She was too agi-
tated for time TO speak, and then only
in disjointed sentences, until she had torn
the child's clothing of and carefully ex
amined it. Finding she was unhurt, she
became calmer and told what she had dis
covered. She saw her child sitting in the
weeds with her bread and milk in her lap
and in front of her big black snake. She
was feeding the snake with the bread and
milk. The child showed not the slightest
fear. On the contrary, she was in high
glee and seemed TO be delighted with her
strange pet. The snake was killed the
next morning. The child seemed 10 miss

cry at not being allowed 20 go out as usual
to feed il. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 President Cleve-
land has taken another sudden departure
from Washington. He has gone to Gray
Gables To recupera:e-
Iu explanation of his sudden departure.
the following statement was furnished by
Private Secretary Thurber:
The president left this morning for
some days absence, under the advice or
his physicians. hoping to shake off the
malarial attack from which he has been
suffering for several days. Yesterday the
attack eliminated ia fever, but which was
under control this morning. DIR. Reilly,
his physician. expressed NO doubt but that
few days of salt air and rest will re-
cuperate the president sufficiently to re-
new his official duties. and he will return
TO Washington by the middle of next
week.
BILL WILL HAVE To WAIT.
1t is learned that the president did not
take the enrolled copy of the tariff bill,
which he must sign, but merely an ordi-
nary printed copy of the bill. presumably
for examination. The enrolled copy of the
bill was taken from the white house about
noon, TO the treasury department, in the
usual course of official routine. Ii is not
at all likely that this enrolled copy will be
sent 10 Gray CIdDIeS luter. ana the prOOd-
bilities therefore, are all in favor of presi
Dental action on the tariff bill being de-
layed until ClevelaEd's return to Wash
lngton next week.
KILLING THE HOUSE BILLS,
The contest over the sugar bill was re-
sumed in the senate today. At the OPEN
ing of the session Mr.. Hill received unani-
nous consent for the consideration OF his
bill 90 provide for the exclusion aud de-
portation of alien anarchists. 1t was
passed without division. Mr.. Dolph (Rep
Ore gave notice OF an amendment he
should offer TO the free sugar bill, to re-
store the Mckinley duties of wool. At
2:lO the measure was laid before the senate
10 put raw and refined sugar on the free
list. The pending motion was that of Mr.
Harris TO refer TO the committee on fin
aimee. Mr.. Aldrich gave notice of an
amendment he would offer TO the bill to
repeal the tariff now in the haCds of the
president. Mr.. Henderson gave notice Of
an amendment TO continue in ore the
bounty provision of the Mckinley bill.
Then the unexpected happened. Without
a word of debate the vote was taken on the
motion to refer the bill to the committee
on finance. The motion was carried, 81 to
IS In quick succession the other three
bills were also sent TO the committee Oh
finance.
