Gov. Tillman talked more about the
alliance demands than he has at any time

course, deprecated the fight that the
alliance seems determined to wage
against all candidates, who do not sup

alliance would but it's brains out if

made bold to claim that he had saved the

it in the Democratic party when some

Donald Murry, newspaper man of
Sydney, has invented and patented a de-
vice by means of which an operator in
New York, with keyboard before him
like that of an ordinary typewriter, can
not only produce typewriter copy in
New Orleans, but, it is claimed, can op-
crate a typesetting machine here and
deliver his matter thus in lead ready for
the forms. Not only that, but the same
operator, by using a number of telegraph
lines, can Set up the same copy simulta-
neeusly in q dozen different places. In
this operation any ordinary currents are
used, such as are capable of being relay
ed and are subject to all conditions of
ordinary telegraphy. The work can be
done with the same speed as an ordinary
typewriter is operated and dispenses with
all clockwork mechanism, synchronous-
ly moving type wheels and other cum
brous devices. 1t is said to be capable
Of manipulating some so different char
acters.-Press and Printer.

The Snail Has Thirty Thousand Teeth.

Don't believe a word of it, do you?
Well, that makes but little difference
it is on the authority of one of the most
noted of the modern school of natural
lists, and that is sufficient. In the Pc
culiarity Of teeth and mouth the snail
is the most wonderful of all the created
creatures, and it has been truly said
that it is fortunate for mankind that
some of the larger of the wild animals
are not similarly constructed. The
mouth of the snail is armed with a wor-
derful organ in the shape Of q rasplike
tongue. This tongue resembles long,
narrow ribbon, coiled in such manner
that only small portion of it is in use
at any one time. Thickly distributed
over the entire surface of this ribbonlike
organ are an immense number of very
minute but strong and sharp teeth, de-
signed in manner which admirably
adapts them to the purpose for which
they are intended that of rasping
off the edible portions of the vegetation
upon which the owner OF the Tasp feeds.
The number of these teeth, as limited
in the opening and also in the heading,
is perfectly Incredible, one species hav-
ing been shown by actual count under
