istence of such masses by means of meas
urements of terrestrial magnetism. The
scientist III. Fritsche. we'll known ac-
count OF his researches IN terrestrial
magnetism. made in June, 1893, a magnetic
survey of the neighborhood of Moscow for
eighty kilometers 0ifty miles, around. The
terrestrial magnetic elements were precise
ly measured for thirty-one localities and
indicated geographically on map. 1t was
thus shown that in a zone twenty kilo-
meters twelve and half miles) wide from
north TO south and $50 ninety-three miles)
long from east to west, including Moscow
the total intensity OF the earth's magnetic
force is considerably greater than north or
south of this zone; also in the western
part of the zone the anomaly is greater
than in the eastern. A chart Of the anom-
allies of magnetic inclination shows that
the deviation of the magnetic needle from
the horizontal Is greater than the normal
north of Moscow and smaller to the south
and chart OF the anomalies of declina-
ticn deviation from true north shows SIM
liar Irregularities. These researches lead
to the conclusion that where the local at
traction was observed. in the neighborhood
OF Moscow, huge masses of iron lie buried
underground. and that they possess north
mag netism in two subsidiary zones stretch
ing north and south therefrom. The CUES
tion how deep this mass lies cannot certain

TILLMAN SENSATION.
DEBATE IN THE CAROLINA CON-
sTITUTIoNAL CONVENTION.
Mr.. Barker, of Charleston, Crosses
Lances with the Senator on the
Shaking of Hands.

COLUMBIA, s. c., November THE
constitutional convention wrangled the
entire morning over an important mea-
sure, to allow the State to obtain changes
Of venue in civil and criminal cases. with
a view to having the .dispensary law en-
forced more rigidly. The body at first
struck out the clause. Then 1t turned
around and adopted a clause to allow the
Legislature to pass laws allowing changes
In cases IL should select. Then an effort
was made to qualify this so that the
grand jury might recommend changes.
There were some lively passages.
At the night session there was quite
sensation. Mr.. Barker, OF Charleston,
who had Just started to speak when the
hour for recess came and cut him of,
took the floor when the convention re-
assembled and severely handled the dis
pensary law from Alpha to Omega, re-
lating many incidents I'm Its enforcement,
which he regarded as outrageous and UNI
justifiable.
Senator Tillman took the floor in reply.
and, announcing that his administration
OF the dispensary law had been attacked,
he went for Mr.. Barker with gloves OF.
The whole dispensary history was re-
counted, and the Darlington war fought
all over again.
SUPPLEMENTARY language w9s used,
and a real factional debate ensued.
Things were extremely lively for about
TWO hours, the running debate be-
tween Senator Tillman and Mr.. Barker
being dramatic at times. The debate was
finally ended by Tillman and Barker dra-
lnatically shaking hands, and declaring
that henceforth Edgefeld and Charleston
would be counties OF the same State.
This took place amid a storm of applause
and roar OF laughter that the presi-
lent could not quel for five minutes.
Then the convention. by a close vote.
adopted Mr.. Henderson's measure, to re-
auire true bill to be found by a grand

AFRANKLIN COLLECTION.
Interesting Imprints sold In Phila-
deIphia.

A remarkably interesting collection OF
the imprints OF Benjamin Franklin were
disposed OF under the hammer Of the
auctioneer in Philadelphia last week, at
the sale Of the large and valuable library
OF scarce Americana belonging to Mr..
Pollock. a bookseller Of the old school,
who for sixty-fiye years has been carry
ing on the old-book business in Philadel-
phia. Pollock, who had an obscure place
on Minor street, in an old-fashioned sec
ton OF the city, now almost entirely de-
voted 10 wholesale business, took a biblio-
phile's interest in books, and seemed more
anxious to collect and keep his treasures
than TO sell them, even at good price
For weeks at a time, frequently. he did
not make a sale, as the prices he asked
of the few customers who dropped into
his place were so much beyond their
value as to be prohibtory Of their sale,
even TO the most reckless and extrava-
CANT collectors.
Mr. Pollock possessed remarkably good
taste and judgment In the selection Oh
his stock; he never cared 20 own COM
monplace books, but sought after ana
paid good prices for rarities in all
branches Of American history. Another
of his peculiarites was an avoidance OF
duplication In his stock, ana the cati-
Iogue of the books he gathered. therefore,
presents a wide variety Of subjects, Hith
scarcely two books in the whole number
alike. There is really only one special
department, an extraordinary collection
OF Franklin imprInts. which Is undoubted-
ly the largest collection Of the produe-
tions OF Franklins press that has ever
been sold az one time except the coffee
ton which was disposed of at the Brinley
sale; and an opportunity to acquire the
rare treasures from F'ranklin's press,
such as that which was presented 10
collectors last week, is NOT likely TO occur
again. The majority Of the volumes sold
possess a double interest and value, from
the fact that they were not washed-out
copies. or handsomely bound, but Just In
the condition in which Pollock got them,
many being uncut.
There were all told, some nfty-odd
hooks I'm this collection, and In dates they

ergy as a printer Some bear the I'M
