Not unlike cages made for wild ami
mails in geological gardens are the cells
intended for persons sentenced to be
kept in durance vile in Tringganu.
The bars are Of hard wood, six inches
square and six inches apart. Two par
allel rows are driven into the ground
and connected by iron bars running
through the piles The long cell thus
formed is subdivided into compart-
ments, so that to each inmate is allotted
a space feet deep by feet high by ,
feet 6 inches wide Ingress to the cells
is gained by one of the piles being left
loose which is. however, locked secure
" The whole of the cells which are
barred in at the top, are covered with a
roof Of attap, which hangs well over
the cells and affords the only protection
from the weather. a 6 foot high bam-
boo fence surrounds the prison, with
gate leading in from the main street.
The gate is never locked, however, and
anybody is allowed to pass in and out
without let or hindrance. / believe
there is a jailer, but / failed to meet
him or any of the prison authorities
The food of the prisoners is usually sup
piled by their friends and no watch or
ward seems to be kept there The cells
are seldom all occupied. The publicity
afforded TO malefactors, the irregular
food and the lack of s'home comforts
seem to exercise a wholesome deterrent
effect on eyildoers. I could not help

OTHER SIDE OF THE NOON.
An Interesting Lesson In Astronomy For
Bright Esoxs and Girls.

Bright Boys and Girls
One evening after had given my lee
eure on A Trip to Starland's a little
boy came to me and asked me why
had not said anything about the ssother
side of the moon = He was very much
surprised when / told him that no one
has ever seen the other side of the moon
Sometimes we get little glimpses of it,
round the corner as it We're, and as
tronomers call this by the long word Ii
bratiOn, which. put into simple Ian
guage, means swinging or swaying
While in the long run the moon keeps
the same face toward the earth, it IS
not 50 from day to day Sometimes the
people on earth can see a little farther
round one side of the moon and some
times a little farther round the other
side This is called IibratiOn IN longi-
tude. Sometimes we can see little
more Of the south pole and then a lit
tie more Of the north pole. This is call
ed libration in latitude. When we are
able TO look over whatever edge Of the
moon is uppermost when it is near the
horizon. that is called diurnal libra
tion, or daily swaying. On account of
these Vibrations or sWayings we see
more than One-half of the moon s sur
face
The moon has three motions: Firstly,
as it IS the attendant Of the earth. it
goes round and round the earth; sec
ondly, as it has to go wherever the earth
goes. and as the earth goes around the
sun, the moon and the earth 90 round
the sun together; thirdly. the moon
turns round ON its axis once q month,
in exactly the same time that it takes
in going around the earth. The days
and nights on the moon are therefore
about two weeks in length.
We see today precisely the same face
of the moon which Galilei saw when
he first looked at it with his telescope.
The opposite face has never been seen
from the earth and probably never viii
be. Let me show You why this IS Put
a ball upon the center OF q round table
and call it the earth. Stand looking at
the ball with your back TO the door
and call yourself the moon. Now move
round the table always looking at the
ball in the middle Of the table, and you
viii find that when you have been once
round the table you VIII also have made
your body turn once round upon itself,
for your back is again toward the dor.
IF you had fastened q string to the ham
die of the door before you started to go
round the table, and had fastened the
other end round your arm, you would
find that you had wound the string once
around you when you had made one
turn round the table. In the same man
ner the moon revolves round the earth,
keeping always the same side turned
toward rs.
In the olden times people believed
that on the side OF the moon we cannot
see there is a beautiful land, where all
the good people 60 when they die, while
all those who We're wicked on earth have
to dwell on the side of the moon turl ed

MAYOR BAXTER RENoMINATED.
Confident and Harmonious Republican
Convention Yesterday.
mation-1he Speeches of Nomination
and Acceprance

Mayor Baxter Was Renominated by Accla-
mation-1he Speeches of Nomination
and Acceptance.
The Republican convention in Recep-
ton hall was one of the most harmonious
and confident that ever assem- bled in this
city. Nearly all of the gentlemen who
were chosen delegates in the caucuses of
Monday night were in attendance when
Chairman y. I'll. Drummcnd, Jr., of the
committee, called the meeting to order.
Frank W. Robinson, ESQ.,, who presided
with so much tact and impartiality at the
stormy caucus of Ward 3, was chosen to
be chairman, and NJ. George K. Lefavor
was made secretary.
Mr.. Robinson then announced the
object of the meeting. Mr.. John Cousens.
delegate from Ward 1, arose and
briefly contrasted the happy situation of
this year with the doubt and uncertainty
which prevailed last year. To the sue
cessful administration of Mayor Baxter
he attributed the present excellent situa-
tion, and he closed by moving that Mr..
Baxter be renominated by reclamation.
Hon. Charles F. Libby arose to second
the motion. He said that although
coming almost untried to the administra-
ton of public affairs, Mr.. Baxter had
shown great aptitude for the transaction
of public business. IT had no doubt, "
continued Mr.. Libby. from what I had
known of him, that he would be sue
cessful in the mayors Office. And this
confidence has been justified by his
course which has merited and received
the general appreciation of the citizens OF
Portland" In conclusion, Mr.. Libby
referred to the scandalous practices OF
our opponents year, ago, which will
never be repeated again, at least in this
generation, in municipal affairs. Gap.
plause.)
The motion being made and seconded,
was carried unanimously, and Hon. G. f.
Libby and Mr.. Lyman Cousens were APP
pointed to wait upon Mr.. Baxter, inform
him of his nomination and invite him to
meet the convention.
Mr.. Baxter, who was in the Mayors
office below, was notified by this COM
mittee. and on his appearance was re-
ceived with hearty applause. He said
thank you for your demonstrations
of good will. thank you for the honor
you have conferred upon me by again
making me your candidate for the CHIEF
magistracy { f the city in which am sc
deeply interested. There is no spot on
the globe which love SO much as Port
land, and no people for whom I have SC
warm regard as for Portland people.
You may be sure that shall make it my
single purpose to serve the interests OF
this city and her people, and I shall be
satisfied if l do not disappoint your
reasonable expectations.
After Mr.. Baxter's speech there was
more applause, and then the convention
adjourned.

Pinned Under a Sleigh.

An express sleigh with standing top
attached tipped over in Monument square
yesterday morning. On the seat with
the driver were Miss Ethel. daughter OF
Newell E. Thompson and Miss Iva,
daughter Of Mr.. Warren G.. Foss. When
