Honoring Representative Hamlin.

In the House, in the course of proceedings,
when there was IA lull for an instant, large
bouquet of choice flowers was brought in and
placed upon Mr.. Hamlin's desk. Presumably it
came from ladies who wished to show their APP
probation of the interest he has manifested and
proposes to manifest in behalf of woman sun
rage Really 1t is said that two of the gentle
mans Ellsworth friends were responsible for
this innocent diversion, and in the midst of the
applause, Hon. W. T. Haines rose and said
II wish to say to the House that years ago
when the black man of the South was trying to
be liberated and trying to get equal rights with
the white man, that the State of Maine furnished
one of the great apostles of liberty who came
forward the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin an advo
cate OF their cause. To-day we have another
question of emancipation before us; and we
have an illustrious son of more illustrious
sire, whom 1t is understood by the ladies will
advocate their cause. For some reason they
have got this idea into their heads. | think It
must have leaked out from the judiciary com

bouquet has been presented to our distinguished

The Spring Election.

Ellsworth's city election takes place
this year on Monday, March 4. AS
yet but little interest is manifest.
The democratic city committee, it
is said, has organized, and the other
day sent representative to the chair
man of the republican city committee
to consult as to the chances for non
political, or citizens caucus.
Those most DESTROYS of eliminating
partisanship from local politics do
not have much faith that such thing
is possible 1t has been tried in days
gone by, and has always ANONYMOUSLY
failed.
1t is said that Mayor Higgins will
not stand for denomination. If this
is the case the field is clear for aspir-
ants from both parties.
1t is also said that Alderman Mad
docks has expressed determination
not to run again. If the doughty
representative of the North should
really pull out, excitement in that
section of the city is likely to be great,
for Mr.. Maddocks has represented it
so long that to find successor is
likely to present serious difficulties.
Alderman Nealley also declares that
his one term has given him all of
political life that he bankers for. 1t
is doubtful, however, if his supporters
in the fifth ward will submit to his re-
tirement.
The next week is likely to bring the
political situation little more clearly
into the public view.

Mrs. O,Leary's Cow.

The account of the origin of the Chicago
fire which attributes the starting OF 1t to
the kick of Mrs. O'Leary's COW is exactly
correct. The writer happened to be among
the early arrivals at the fire while it was
3whetting its appetite on the little cottages
of Mrs. O'Leary's neighbors, and few
days after strolIed over there to determine
exactly the place of starting. BY accident
rather than design Mrs. O'Leary herself
was encountered. She was a modest wom-
an, who sought no notoriety, but told her
story simply. There was nothing remark
able in the facts, only in the results. Chi
cago had good many more milk COWS
then than now, although the present num-
Der is much larger than is generally sup
posed. 1t was matter of economy in the
case of the O'Learys The open prairie
near by offered free pasturage except the
slight cost of herding, shared between the
different owners of the herd. Not infre-
quently the milking was postponed, from
one cause or another, until evening and
what was more natural than to take along
a lantern or that the lantern should chance
to be set too near bossy's chief reliance for
retaliation upon its annoyers? 1t is far
more likely that the story as told at that
time and repeated so often since was true
than that the woman should invent it..
There was nothing to be gained by max
ing up such story, for the poor woman
never coveted the notoriety she attained,
nor desired it. Nothing but good con-
science made her admit her part in that
municipal tragedy. Chicago Inter Ocean.

vibrations of a Pianoforte wire.

Although the pianoforte is the most pop
ular instrument Of the day, it is surpris-
ing how many of its professional perform
ers fail to make it interesting. This, while
1t to great extent is a matter of tempera-
ment, is often undoubtedly due to igno-
rance Of the dynamic effect Of "touch' as
affecting the vibration of the strings. A
most interesting light has been thrown
upon this subject by series of photo
graphs taken in Germany of the motion of
the pianoforte wire when struck in differ
emit ways. 1t was found that the duration
of contact was longer with feeble than
with hard striking. The most Important
result was the proof that when wire is
struck at point between one-seventh and
one-ninth of it's length the fundamental
tone has maximum, and the harmonics,
especially the third, are very feeble. Hence
a wire thus struck gives its strongest and
richest tone. This is an instructive fact
for musicians as a base for what will be to
many of them a new line of study.

The Longest Tunnel.

AS to the great tunnel under the
Simplon between Switzerland and Italy,
the interesting fact is to be noted that it
will be, when completed, the longest tun-
mel in the world-that is, 1917 miles, as
against 91s miles in the case of the St.
Gothard, nearly s miles for the Mont
Gents and AZ miles for the Hoosac. The
engineers report concerning this vast I'M
dertaking shows that the two tracks will
not be carried in single large tunnel,
but in two smaller parallel ones, some 81
feet apart between centers, and connected
every $50 feet by means of cross cuts. Ihe
average area of the section of each of the
tunnels is to be about $50 square feet, the
width Is feet inches, and the height Is
feet.-New York Sun.

The Duke Par E,ninence.

For more than two centuries there has
always been somebody who, like the Duke
of Cambridge, has been popularity known
among his contemporaries as "the duke
par eminence, if not invariably par excel
lence. Immediately after the restoration,
George Monk, duke of Albemarle, was
''the duke in common parlance all over
the country and from his death until the
death of Charles II the duke" was James,
duke of York, who became king as James
II.
Afterward the Duke of Monmouth and
the Duke of Schomberg were each in turn
"the duke for a brief period, and then
followed John, duke Of Marlborough. For
time the Duke of Newcastle or the Duke
Of Argyll was, the duke" of contemporary
chroniclers, and subsequently William,
Duke of Cumberland BILLY the Butch
or, y as he was affectionately called in Scot
land), was 'the duke''-a designation
which passed from him to Frederick, duke
of York, his granddaughter. But somehow
or other, even in the Duke of York S life
time, he was deposed from this nominal
pre- eminence by Arthur, duke of Yelling
ton, who for just upon 40 years was al
ways and everywhere "the duke"
1t was perhaps partly as his successor
Though not his immediate successor) as
commander in chief, and partly because he
was once, practically speaking, the only
royal duke (for-the Duke of Cornwall was
Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cumber-
land was king Of Hanover), that the Duke
of Cambridge has been known for an
equal or even longer time as emphatically

short by slight injury to the machine,
but he found that the great wings would
support him and that it was only mat
ter Of practice that would enable him TO
make more extended flights
On one attempt he scared down the
gentle slope on Great Diamond island
for Is or 20 feet at an elevation Of six
or seven feet.
One illustration is reproduction of a
snap shot taken at the time of flight by
Mr.. j. II. Lamson the photographer.
This machine weighs about 40 lbs, has
spread of wings of 20 feet, is feet in
width and has both horizontal and per-
pendicuIar tails or rudders. The frame is
made of spruce and the different parts
are all solidly braced together by piano
wire.
This soaring apparatus of Lilienthal' S
is the most successful, as yet, Of the
many devices for achieving man flight.
Maxim's monster flying machine weigh
ing 5000 lbs, is practically failure be-
cause of the great danger and expense of
experimenting with it, and experiment
is absolutely necessary for success Mr..
Maxim applied for but failed to obtain
letters patent on his flying machine, the
examiner holding that tits incapable OF
practical operation. In the patent office
at Washington Mr.. Lilienthal has been
more successful August Goth last he
was granted patent on his flying ma
chine. The following are extracts from
the specifications:
"Otto Lilienthal, manufacturer, a
subject of the German Emperor and a
resident of Berlin, has invented certain
new and useful improvements in flying
machines. The improved machine COM
p1ises two wings, which, after the man
ner Of birds wings, are slightly yaulted
upwards. Two wooden rods, forming an
acute angled cross are arranged to carry,
at their upper ends, pockets. produced by
two small wooden. plates. In these pock-
cts are pivoted the wooden ribs of the
wings. Cushions are fixed Z between the
crossed rods. sgs+.s...,
For using this flying machine the per-
son inyerts his forearms between the
cushions, fixed to the crossed wooden
rods and takes hold of the bar with his
hands, SO that, without changing the up
right position OF his body, he can carry
and properly adjust the machine in a
very convenient manner during his run
before the flight, while during the flight,
he can balance and steer the machine, IN
which he is suspended, by a switch move
ment of his body so as to displace its cen,
tire of gravity III this manner he can
initiate the soaring of birds, in which the
movement takes place merely, by a4change
in the position of the wings with regard
to the direction of the wind, there being
no rudder movement proper, of the
wings. AS under these circumstances,
the LEGS are freely suspended downward.
the landing can safely be effected by put
ting the feet on the ground.
Mr.. Lilienthal has scared as far as
1000 feet from an emminence against the
wind and as high as 90 feet from the
ground.
