A CELESTIAL BLUE BLOOD
Son Born to the Emperor. ant
Empress of China.

SAN FRANCISCO, April l. The
steamer China arrived today from
China and Japan, bringing the inter-
esting rumor that a son has been born
to their imperial maiesties the emperor
and empress of China.
In Japan the results of the paria-
mentary election of March are still in
doubt. 1t seems clear. however, that
the Radicals have scored heavily, their
success being attributed to government
support. 1t seems likely that in the
next diet the factions will he fighting,
but the most important principles will
be nearly balanced. The house is ex-
pected to meet in the middle of May and
sit for month. There will be bitter
fight for both the presidential and vice
presidential chairs. The Japanese Mail
says it is safe to say that the elections
on the whole have been unfavorable to
the essential features of the anti-foreign
movement originated last spring.

AT the meeting OF the Crusaders To-
tai Abstinence society yesterday after
noon the principal attraction was
paper upon board Of trade operations by
}. f. Stanton. He took up the various
expressions used by traders on the
board and defined them. This done, he
proceeded to examine the effect of
board of trade dealings upon the wei.
fare of the country. Bywell connected
arguments he showed that, whether the
operation results in rise or fall in the
price of the commodity dealt in, the
effect is alike disastrous to the public
welfare, for it engenderS uncertainty
and creates distrust, and this is bad,
whatever the cause. He was not pre-
pared to speak OF the probable effect of
the Hatch anti-opt!on bill upon the
evils resulting from board of trade
deals, but some law is necessary to for
ever prohibit the practice.

BOsTON'S ELEVATED ROAD.

The anti-Meigs papers in Boston have
been sneering at the smallness Of the
vote cast at the special election, but q
close observer Of special elections denies
the accusation. There was q total vote
2 ,7O4 and a majority for the bill of 1880.
1t Is found the last two special elections
relating to local affairs were upon the
acceptance Of the park act of 1875 and
the general annexation act Of 1873. At
the election Of June 0. 1875, the total vote
on the acceptance of the park act was
GOLF, out of a voting list Of 81, 045, or only
10 per cent of the registered voters. In
the election TO consider the annexation Of
Brighton, Brookline, Charlestown and
West Roxbury, held October z, 1873,
the total vote was 1900, or 10 per cent.
OF q total registration OF about no. 900.
The vote Of tho special election Just held
was about 33i per cent Of the total reg
istration ut the last municipal election.
Ii will thus be seen that 20 far NJ the
experience Of the city during the last 25
years In special elections Of Q non-politi-
cal character is concerned, about three
times as many voters relatively came to
the polls as on the two previous occa-
sions.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-07-28

The death of General A. j. Pleasonton
the other day recalled to the minds Of the
older generation the famous blue glass
craze which swept over this country in
tho early seventies and found its way
across the water to Europe. General
Pleasanton was a West Pointer by
education and early turned his at
tention to scientific discoveries. His
publication of a pamphlet Pm the
Influence of the Blue Color of the Sky
in Developing Animal and Vegetable
Life attracted the most widespread at
tention to the author. He detailed the
results of observations Of the develop
ment of animals lodged in compartments
partly covered with blue glass. through
which the rays of the sun passed. These
experiments covered a period of l0years,
the results being embodied in a lecture
May, 1871, before the Philadelphia
Society for Promoting Agriculture.
The address was followed by a craze for
blue glass windows for the cur of disease
and physicians of the highest standing
frequently recommended sun baths
under blue glass. Probably no n so
called panacea ever excited more wide
spread discussion than this blue glass
remedy, and SO great was the demand
for blue glass that immense quantities
of blue window glass were imported,
while American factories had big orders
for this alleged medicinal shade.
A revival Of the theory with a change
OF color has recently occurred in Ger
many, where it is claimed that small pox
patients kept in a room lighted only
through rose colored or light red win
dows suffer only mild attacks and avoid
the hideous pitting Of the skin.

the plans Of the company that the road
win carry passengers from Harvard
Square TO Park Square In 10 or IL min
utes and he expects that such
rapid transit will vastly increase
the value of property lying contiguous
to that route. He places the incr ease at
a figure that is absolutely staggering in
its dimensions, 81 1000, coo, 900, but he
fortifes it by pointing out that the
property i'm one ward south OF Centr al
Park, New York, had increased $780,
0OO, 900 since the Manhattan Elevated
Road was built.
General Hyde is not an idle theorist.
When he seriously proposed establishing
a steel ship building plant on the Kenne-
bee he was derided for choosing a
location SO far away from the coal and
iron regions. Yet today the
Bath Iron Works stand as one
of the most successful ship
building plants in the country, having
already completed two gun boats for the
United States Navy and having III pro-
cess of construction what is pronounced
the most terrible engine of wal ever
devised in the shape of the ram katah-
din.
This the kind of a man General Hyde
is, and visionary as appears his dreams
of the future OF the Meigs elevated rail-
road, they must not be condemned as
coming from an enthusiastic visionary.
