While there are hopes that there will
be very small. II any. gold expectations
the coming month, II would not be sur
prislng n expectations were heavy. The
rate OF exchange Is now low; but that II
can remain at the present figure seems
doubtful, because. by reason OF very
heavy tmportations, English factories be.
ing busy to meet the American demand
under the new tarinf, tho balance of trade
Is stia heavily against tho United States
There are also large drafts In this coun-
try TO meet letters OF credit he'd by
Americans travelling abroad. The cotton,
wheat and corn crops have not COM
menced to flow abroad as yet, which
prevents the balance against the United
States from being overcome. Thus Ii
would seem as II the present comparative
low rate OF exchange was fictitious, and
that further expectations OF gold should
be expected. There is considerable
ground TOR satisfaction In the feeling
that the banks OF the country viii con-
tinue fo' some time. now that the syn
dicate has ceased maintaining the re-
serve. to deposit gold with the treasury
in exchange for small notes. II exporta-
tions OF gold should continue heavy. the
banks would probably get tired OF their
seif-imposed task OF deposlting gold. In
view Of these facts there Ia the continued
belief that bond issue will be required
before congress ASSEMBLIES. 1t Is pre-
sumed that this Issue win go to the Nor
gan-Bemont syndicate Just as the former
one did, but 1t Is assumed that 1t win De

BLOCKING THE GAME OF WAR.


After smokeiess, powder for soldiers
now comes an effort to build smokeless
furnaces for warshps II the government
authorities are successful in this, war
ship, or whole squadron OF ships, may
be able to make descent upon an enc
my's coast before their presence is sus-
pected.
AS the element Of surprise Is an impor-
tant one In warfare, the absence OF the
telltaie smoke from the smokestacks Of
hostile feet will be a decided gain to the
attacking party, and corresponding dis
advantage to the party attacked.
The trick, 1t is believed, will be accom-
pashed by means of down-draft furnaces
with which the navy department is ex-
pertmentdng, and an actual trial will soon
be made at the navy yard In Brooklyn.
The fire In these furnaces, instead OF
burning upward, burns downward. The
process is thus described by the New
York Herald
The gaseous products of combustion,
together with the finely divided carbon
particles. which form the visible smoke,
are forced through the masses of coal
aud are highly heated, after which they
meet the hot flames from the lower
CRATES. The water and the volatile mat
ter from the coal are decomposed into
two gases-hydrogen and carbonlc oxide.
The hydrogen burns with intense heat
The carbonlc oxlde gas Is invisible, and
the result Is almost smokeless combus-
tion, II Is said"
Such result would give an approach
Ing fleet the advantage now lost, as the
smoke of a steamer can be seen at such
q distance, that Is. hours before the YES
sci itself is visible.
The ancient war galleys-the swift
ships" alluded to by the chronlclers OF
those days, had an advantage over the
modern steamer In the respect Of being
able to approach undetected, but they
cold not carry the same force or weight
of armament as the latter. II the new
experiment succeeds the latter day ships
win combine the advantages of the old
triremes> and the modern steamships
1t looks as IL human ingenuity was rap,
idly making warfare 80 scientific and 50
dangerous that It will result in a practl-
cal era Of peace. No people will want to
make war when It becomes so expensive
and 80 deadly.
With the smoke OF battle" gone. the
battle itsef win not long remain.
Science is really blocking the game of
war. It would seem.

The feet OF revenue cutters under CON-
mand Of Capt. Hooper, which is making
a strict patrol Of the Bering sea 10 pre-
vent peiagic sealing, has resulted in the
smallest illegal catch Of seals this sum-
mer ever noted. This result is particu-
lar,y pleasing to the revenue marine Off
GERS because this is the first season in
which no naval ships have been used to
patrol the Alaskan waters. 1t appears,
therefore, that revenue cutters are more
efficient for patrol service, because so
much smaller and so much more easily
handled. The patrol has been under
taken by the United States alone and
Great Britain has kept her hands Off.
Capt. Hooper's fleet is now on its way
south from Alaska, and on the captains 8
arrival at San Francisco he will make a
report Of his summers work. The rev.
enue cutters patrol cost the government
this year about $4,000, as against $780,
600 expended last year, when naval ships
were used.

Labor circles in Washington have been
stirred up Lately BY the arrest of sub
contractor named McVaugh, who is en-
gagged in making certain improvements to
the government printing office. McVaugh
is under arrest for Violating the eight
hour law by working his men more than
eight hours day, and for having COM
PEELED them to sign agreements to do such
work for the compensation paid for
eight hours labor 1t was in 1892 that
the latest step was taken by congress
toward compelling the enforcement OF
the law, providing that eight hours should
be days work for government laborers.
In that year an amendment was passed
to the eight hour Jaw. which provided
that no laborer working under contract
and employed on government buildings
should work more than eight hours a
day. There is much interest apparent
In the case and considerable watching
fer developments.

GERMANY IN JAPAN.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
says: THE thoroughness and system
with which the German manufacturers
are working to develop and increase their
export trade is shown by the statement
that preparations are being made to
start periodicals in China and Japan,
having for their object the introduction
of German goods and the promotion OF
commercial relations in those countries
The value Of such publication in China
seems somewhat doubtful, but a circula-
tion in Japan may oe OF great service.
The ministry of commerce, 1t Is said, is
taking an interest in this project and will
give its assistance in the preparation
and circulation of the proposed journals"

SOUND MONEY HAS A MAJORITY.

Whatever else the senate or house OF
the new congress may do, It is now an
assured certainty that no free coinage bill
can be passed A careful pol OF the
next house by the chamber OF Commerce
OF New York shows that elghty-elght
representatives are in favor Of free coin
age OF silver, while 2l6 are opposed TO Il.
Fifty-two representatives do no. know
where they stand on the question. In the
senate there will be thirty-nlne free sill
yer men and forty-three senators opposed
TO Tree coinage, with six In doubt.
The resclt OF this poll. coming close
upon the declarations OF Senators Vest
ana Mills. two great free silver cham
pions, ought TO furnish plenty OF evidence
that the white metal craze has about
spent itself and that the people have no
reason to fear any debasement OF the
currency for At least two years. Even IL
a free coinage bin should pass Congress

HOW CAMS WE'RE FIRST MADE.


The first can of which we have any
account was a little over a foot In
length and two and a half inches in di-
ameter, much resembling the end Of a
water spout sawed off and not at all
like the present style of cans. An empty
can Of this kind made In lS7 Is still
in existence and has been used as silent
but potent witness in many a famous
law suit.
Cans we're then made with what is
called stud top. that is. tops and bot
toms were both soldered into the cans
but a smaw hole, perhaps half an inch to
an inch In diameter, was left OPEN
Through this orifice the vegetables and
meat were thrust and in the course the
meat cut into small pieces, not in solid
form as now. After sufficient cooking
In a kettle filled with water the can
was soldered and the case would often
keep for years, but not always, for not
having been vented they would swell,
and sometimes, though not often, burst,
for the tin used was the very heavy
charcoal" Oftenttmes important dis
coveries are made by accident and that
of the vent was a case In point. one
day some children were playing with
a lot Of swelled cans, when one OF them
pounded the ends with some sharp tool
that made n hole. The escaping gas
pleased them and they continued their
novel little game until each one had
vent. Mr.. WINSTON was In great rage.
II Is said. but as a for.orn hope rebathed
the cans and then soldercd up the hole.
The result proved that not only had he
saved his corn but this was the true
method and a great discovery.

Though the administration officials will
not admit 1t, the new congress will be
compelled to provide ways and means for
raising sufficient revenue to pay govern
ment expenditures and prevent the treas
ury deficit from increasing, situation
that cannot but be injurious to the coun-
try's business. The president will natu-
rally be expected to make some recon-
mendatton to this line, and Republicans
will have to give considerable attention
to the recommendations that the presi-
dent makes for the question Of how rev.
enue shall be provided for the mainten-
ance Of the government cannot be met
as II 1t were a party question, for no
party has absolute control OF the govern
ment at the present time. Whatever
means are adopted to provide revenue
must be of compromise character.
Therefore, Mr.. C.eveiands ideas on this
subject will be watched for with anxiety,
as indicating what he might be willing
to sign or let become a law without his
signature.
