FIRST DAY OF CONGRESS
The Fifty-F ourth Session of the
National Legislature.
READY TO RECEIVE THE MESSAGE.

The Annual Report of Secretary Herbert
on tho Conditions and Needs OF Our
Navy-The Work Of shlpbuIlding-Nee
OF Armament
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.--The first week
Of the Fifty-fou congress, which con-
vened at noon today, promises nothing at
either end OF the capitol I'm the way OF ac-
tual legislation. The time before tho
Christmas holidays is usually devoted TO
preliminary matters, and the work OF the
session does not begin until after the re-
cess. The new congress will probably not
be an exception to this rule. The senate
proceedings may be enlivened by an at
tempt at reorganization, but In the house
nothing can be done until the committees
are appointed.
Speaker elect Reed says that the com
mittees will not be announced this week,
with perhaps a single oxception-the com
mittee on rules. This committee formu-
lhtes tho rules which are to govern the
house during its sessions, and 1t Ia Gus
tomary for the speaker to name 1t during
the first week in order that 1t can immo-
diately begin its labors. While It is be-
lleved that tho rules of the Fifty first con-
gross, over which Mr.. Reed presided, will
be reported for the guidance of the pres
ent house, IL is understood that few
changes will be made as a result Of expe-
rionoo, which are designed TO still further
improve the house machinery and the IA
cilitation Of public business.
Mr. Keer, clerk Of the last house, called
the house 60 order. Af0er the roll call tho
election Of the officers nominated by the
Republican caucus Saturday night oocnr-
red, and the drawing Of seats, which Is
known as the congressional rattle, " fol-
lowed. This is a somewhat tedious, but an
amusing affair.
The reading Of the presidents message
will consume Tuesday, and at its conolu-
sion the house will probably adjourn IN
oil Thursday, and on oonvening Thursday
adjourn Immediately until Monday. These
adjournmonts will continue probably un-
al the committees are announced. This Is
the programme, but the unexpected might
occur, as It so often does In the house, If
somo aspiring member should Introduce a
sensational resolution and ask for its i'm
mediate consideration.

The Senate Organization.

Il is not probable that the first week Of
congress will witness much serious effort
at legislative work In the senate. II any
thing should be accomplished beyond the
receipt Of the presidents message and Of
the recess nominations and the introduc-
tion of bills, the session would be an ex-
ception in the history of the senate.
In view OF the fact that the message
will not be received until tomorrow, the
proceedings of today consisted in the
swearing in Of the newly elected members
who were present and the appointment Of
committee to wait upon the president.
The message will be road tomorrow, and
the brief sessions of Wednesdays and Thurs
day will be devoted largely to the intro
ducson Of bills, Of which there will be
several hundred
Following precedents the senate VIII
adjourn on Thursday until the following
Monday. Ono or two brief eNpcutiye ses-
sions for the reference of Nominations are
also among the probabilities for the week.
II the Republicans decide upon an effort
TO roorganize, as is now generally oonced-
3D. the democrats win follow with a con-
ference tomOrroF OF Wednesday, at which
thoy probably will decide upon a course
Of action. 1t now appears probable that
all threo parties will place candidates for
president pro tempore in the field, and in
that event tho week will be enlivened
somewhat by a triangular contest for this

.aarhe Needs of the Navy.


In his annual report to tho president
II. A. Herbert secretary Of the navy,
compares the numerical strength OF ma
yies Of the world. The report in part is
as follows;
Great Britain, as usual, is leading
both In the number and strength Of ships
in service and in building programme,
with 274 ships In service, net including
torpedo boats. She has AZ vessels now un-
der construction, OF which ten are battle
ships. IL will be observed that, in accord
anco with England's policy of placing her
first line Of defense at the onemys coast,
no coast defense vessels are building for
that country. The displacement OF the
first class hattleship in her present pro
gramme Is / 4, 900 tons; that Of the second
GLASS, IL, 800. France with 144 effective
vessels In service, exclusive Of torpedo
boats, has a building programme calling
for an increase OF 33 vessels, of which five
possibly six) are battleships and four are
armored cruisers. Russia has is ships
building of which 10 are armorod; in
service, 100. Italy has in service n YES
sells; the number building is: Armored,
eight (six battleships) and uparmored,
seven. Germany has "a efficient ships
and is building four armored and four un-
armOrod. Spain is showing incneased ac-
tivity and is building ten additional vos-
sells, of which oneAhalf are armored, which
will make total effective strength Of 52.
The Dutch navy numbers % effective ves-
sells; tho additions are to be three armor-
cd and four unarmored vessels
New Vessels For South America.
"On this continent Argentina, Brazil
and Chilli have, all told, ordered abroad
six armored and nine unarmored vessels
For the Asiatio powers there are now
building in England two battleships for
Japan, and third will probably be COM
menced soon.
"The system OF gun construction
adopted when the reconstruction OF the
navy was undertaken remains unchanged
in its general features and Is considered
fully equal, II not superior, to any that
has since been tried here OF abroad. OF
the $50 guns-from inch to Is inch cali
ber-thus far ordered 4S3 are wholly or In
great part completed, and 80s are ahoat
"The problem Of satisfactory supply
of powder for the larger guns has not yet
reached complete solution. SO far II has
been found impossible TO obtain a regular
supply Of powder for either the 10 inch or
13 inch guns which will give the desired
muzzle velocity to the projeotiles without
exceeding the prescribed limit Of pressure
IN the bore.
Congress has heretofore failed to ap-
propriate any portion OF the $500, 600 ask
ed for TO arp the auxiliary navy. Two
other flne ships. the st. Paul and the St
Louis, have come TO our auxiliary navy.
and they are as yet without armament.
The department is exercising at presept
every power vested in it by law to secure
guns and ordnance material but It is
much hampered by the want OF specific
authority and necessary approximations. "

Locating a sunken Vessel by Electricity

Locating a sunken Vessel by Electricity
A year ago the Russian monitor Rus
aka fioundered in the Gulf of Finland,
and until recently the exact location Of
the wreck has been unknown. The
position Of the unlucky vessel was de-
termined by the use Of an instrument
devised by Capt. McEvoy, and call
ed a submarine detector." "The ap-
paratus is based on the principle Of
Prof. Hughes induction balance, and
it consists of an electrical arrangement
carried on board the searching vessel
and a sinker, which is trailed along
the bottom. The sinker is connected
with the vessel by a light electrical
cable of any required length. The ap-
paratus is so adjusted that when the
sinker approaches a mass of metal, the
electrical balance is upset, and sounds
become audible in the telephone, while
they are reduced in intensity as the
Sinker recedes from the metallic OBJ
!iect. The search was continued for
several weeks. and the exact position
of the floundered vessel was at length
placed beyond all question as every
time the searching steamer passed
over a given spot the electric indica-
tor sounded loudly, thus %atfording evil
dence that a large mass of metal was
submerged below."-London Electro
cal Review.

How many eggs does a grasshopper
lay? Mahomet, according to the Khalif
Omar, said, when these insects fell
upon him, that he could read upon
their wings the words, "We are the
legions of God and we bear ninety-nine
eggs. When we produce a hundred
we shall devour the world" In a pa
per read before the Paris Academy of
Science, NJ. Kunckel d'Herculai says
that Mohamet was wrong in supposiEt
that the locust laid exactly ninety-nine
eggs at a time, although he vas quite
right in attributing to it extraordinary
fecundity. Nj. Kunckel has been care
fully watching some locusts for
months, and he finds that one of these
insects will lay as many as from 500
to 900 eggs during a season of from
ten to eleven months. He points out
that if the French government wish to
get rid of the locust plague from which
Algeria suffers, it is particularly ad-
visable to kill the insects just before
the season when their eggs are laid

According to Prof. j. Kratter, Of
Graz, who has for some time been
performing experiments on the effect
Of electrical shocks on animal life,
death is most usually caused by sudden
cessation of respiration and consequent
suffcation. During the ~suffocation the
heart continues in action. If the as
phyxia lasts more than a certain time,
about two minuets, the heart stops,
this being a secondary phenomenon.
Generally speaking, the animals used.
cats, dogs, rabbits and mice, were not
easily killed by 1,6OO-2,0OO vots alter
mating. The danger appears to lie In
the nervous system, and to decrease
with the amount Of brain development.
Frequently death occurs by momentary
stoppage of the movement of the heart,
but a slow cessation of the hearts &C
ton, such as has been observed in cases
Of human death, was never observed.
In no cas was any anatomical altera-
ton observable to which death might
be attributed, but there are sometimes
LESSONS, breaking of blood vessels, and
the diagnosis is rendered certain by the
peculiar burning at the position of con-
tact, and by the escape Of blood from
the capillaries, which indicates the path
taken by the Observation-Disclosures
Record.

,Sportive cruelty

There are said to be over 100, 900
mel and boys in this country who
are armed with guns. They mutilate
and half-kill birds, they MAIN rabbits,
deer, and other animals, subjecting
them to exquisite pain before they die:
they chase deer into the water and
murder them in their felplessneSS:
they ride after frightened foxes and
drive them to il death of agonizing eXe
haustion; they hook up fish by the sen.
sitive mucous membrane of the mouth
and teal them from their wounds, all
for sport. There are, perhaps, half a
dozen places in this country where Vi
v~iSection is done on anaesthetized
guinea pigs, rabbits. and occasionally
dogs. Why doesn't the sensitive anti
vivisectionist attack the sportsman?
Is it because he is afraid, or because
he is Il sportsman himself?-New York

DIR. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Mnety-eighf per cent. of all
of Consumption, in all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, b;t a large per-
centage Of cases, and we believe, JmZYy QS
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular natter, great loss Of flesh
and extreme enlaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to col fess that
it surpasses, i'll curative power over this
fatal 1nalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the %hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried i'll vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred 1naladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.

Hammered Iron Work.

The popularity Of black iron lamps
and lanterns for the piano, the study or
porch, has given impetus to the Ian
gushing art Of working in hammered
iron. It is the highest type Of iron
work as well as the most beautiful, and
we are glad to see it revived. The
hammered iron work Of the middle
ages has been reverenced almost as
a departed art. The best of this work
Is very expensive, but that has not
prevented the production Of some mag
nificent examples. The opportunity for
the use of hammered iron work is large,
including gates, ratings, balconies, etc.,
and it would appear that once general
attention WIS directed to this species
Of artistic ornamentation the field of
its application would be extensive

LincoIn's Joke ON Seward.

On the 9th the First Corps, COM
manded by Gen. Reynolds was re-
viewed by the president OH a beautiful
plain on the north of Potomac Creek,
about eight miles from Hooker's head
quarters. We rode thither in an ambu-
lance over a rough corduroy road; and,
as we passed over some of the more
difficult portions of the jolting way,
the ambulance driver who sat in front,
occasionally let fly a volley of sup
pressed oaths at his wild team of six
mules. Finally Mr.. Lincoln, learning
forward, touched the man Of the
shoulder, and said:
"Excuse me, my friend, are you an
Episcopalian?
The man greatly startled, looked
round and replied:
mo, Mr.. President; l am a Metho-
dist.
"Well," said Lincoln, 81 thought you
must be an E~piscopalian, because you
swear just like Gov. Seward, who is
a churchwarden." the driver swore no

An experiment with ball bearing
was recently made in Canada. A
street car, fitted with bali bearings,
was drawn a distance of several hun
dred feet by men pulling on three
strands of ordinary sewing thread.
A carriage manufacturer put another
style of ball bearings on the aXles of a
coach ordinarily pulled by four horses.
A trained dog was hitched to the pole,
and he drew the coach around the
yard with little effort effort. The CON-
bination of pneumatic tires and ball
bearings would evidently relieve much
of the strain now put on horses draw
ing heavy vehicles, and here is a tip
for an enterprising carriage builder.

Fishing Owls.

Did any one know that owls did q
when they had a C nance? The Fish
Conn %'ssiorers Of New Hampshire
have discovered that owls have been
stripping the spawning saibling off the
beds il, their state. Naturally the fish
ing is all done at night ard the water
on the mid1lake spawning grounds be-
ing very low has given the owls the
chance which they have improved.
Quite likely the saibling expose some
portion of their bodies above the wa
ter, and the noise they make in the
water attracts the night birds, and
every morning the spawn takers have
found evidence Of their visits.-Forest
