spA1N,sGREATEsr DANGER.


Notwithstanding the persistence OF the
Cuban insurgents, the dissatisfaction Of
loyal Cuban Spaniards with the operations
OF Gen. Campos, 1rd the threat Of the latter
that he will resign, the latest movements
suggest that the greatest danger to Spain
Is at homo.
In the atmosphere OF the Spanish capital,
directly under the eye of the gov
erninent, mutiny is rife, and the soldiers Of
the regular army protest, almost to the
point of violent demonstrations, against
the use Of the regular soldiery for the pur-
pose of subJugating the Cuban rebels.
The order has gone forth that $4,000
additional troops shall embark for Cuba.
A large majority OF several OF the regi-
ments have refused to go. The republican
element in aud around Madrid is strong and
aggressive. This spirit has been exhibited
in many forms. The loyalty Of Spaniards
to the members OF the royal family now In
evidence ia only for dress parade. Deep
down in their hearts q great majority of
the Spanish people are devoted to the sys-
tenn Of popular rule.
This condition In Spain must be considered
in all estimates in regard to the results in
Cuba II is apparent that even the Spanish
soidiery is ripe for revolt when Spa uish
policy savors OF Cuban coercion. General
Campos recognizes this, and in battle has
aimed TO avoid Unnecessary loss of life,
and now that the feeling among the SOL
diery at home is better understood, it is
thought be viii resign. Unquestionabiy
there will be stirring times ia'Spain before

1t Is to he Seen in the Hall of the
Boston Scientific Society.

Boston Scientific Society
A curious and appropriate decoration for
frieze is 10 be seen in the meeting hall
of the Boston Scientific Society, the de-
sign Of which is both rovcl and attractive
use being made of the CAladni figures.
Chladni, Who was u celebrated physicist OF
the last century discovered that IL plate
of glass or metal be made TO give a musical
note, which can be done with the ordinary
violin bow any loose material lying on its
surface win be made to form itself into
queer shapes and patterns, which hayesII IIce
been known by the Fame OF their discoverer,
and because sand is the most convenient
material with W aich TO produce them. they
have been popularity called sand figures
These designs, Illustrations of the more
simple OF which may bc seen in any natural
philosophy, coiisists of Hres AID curves in
combination, each note having a different
figure and many of them being of exceeding
dclicacy and beauty.
When the society established itself in its
present rooms the question OF suitable
decoration of the wallis was discussed, nd
some one suggested saul figures. The
Chladui plate was brought out, nd with
the skill in forming them which was the
result of much practice, these figures were
produced TO the number of nearly fifty,
from which drawings were made for the
frieze.
The reason why the sand assumes these
figures is this: When the plate is made
to give u tone, the different parts of the
plate are set In vibration, and all over The
plate there are active centers of faDotiou-
In some of these the motion is upwards at
the time that it is dowuwards in ad joining
the time that it is dowuwaris in ad joining
portions of the plates, so that where the
two vibrating sections join each other
there Is a liue OF no motion or rest, for
one motion ne,trahzes the other.
The sand is, therefore, thrown about ny
the active centers aud these rising higher
than the general level of the plate, the
sand rolls down until it gets To the lowest
points, along the lines of no motion. and
thus the figures are formed The higher
the tone produced, the shorter the sections
whose vibrations produce it. aud the re-
sultiug figures are more delicate aud COM
plicated.-Happy Thought

Points Hb0Ut Pilgrims

W. II. HiDricksen, OF Illinois, secretary
OF state and chairman of the State Demo-
cratic committee, is at Wiliard's.
To Times reporter he said
Il have come on To take pa 1T in the silver
conference here. Illinois is overwhelmingly
in favor of free silver ON a ratio Of 1G to 1
In my opinion, the next national Con-
test is going to be fought out purely on
money lines, as think the financial Ques-
tion is going to be the paramount issue of
the campaign.
"The meeting here will outline a silver
policy, which we hope to have adopted by
the party. 1 think the only salvation OF
the Democratic party in the next election
Is to make an out-and-out decla ration In
favor of free silver. 1t is popular and
growing idea"
George NJ. LeCrone, a member of the
legislature of Illinois and editor of the
Effingham Democrat, was seen at Willard's
last night by Times man.
II am champion OF the white metal"
said he, .;,nd both by my public speeches
and writing have tried to make the idea
popular one in my State. l am glad to
say that now 80 per cent. of the Democrats
In Illinois are for free silver on a ratio Of
16 to I and a 1argc per cent of Repub-
licans also FAVOR IL. Morrison seems la me
10 be the most available man for the Demo-
Gratis to nominate and l think he will win.
While Mr.. Stevenson has q large follow
ing in Illinois l think the mn tority Of people
in that State prefer to see Morrison head
the ticket, and We are going to make Q
great fight for him at the national Con-
vention."
c. R. Tuttle, editor of the Chicago Dis
patch, is registered, with the other silver
delegates, at Wizards. To a Times re-
porter he said:
"You would be surprised to see the change
OF sentiment in Illinois in regard to Alt
geld. year OF SO ago he was perhaps the
most unpopular man in the entire State.
owing to the stand he took In parioning the
anarchists. He has, however, in the last
six months, proposed many wise measures.
and has created q feeling of respect. I
think he will make good Governor from
this time on"

A resident of Rochester, n. Y, is about
to commence a noyei suit for damages in
the supreme court He seeks to recover
SO 900 for Injuries which he claims to have
received through the explosion Of q bicycle
tire, or, strictly speaking, the forcible
ejecinient from the tire OF plug which had
been used TO repair puncture and was not
secure enough TO stand the pressure of the
air
The complainant was riding his wheel
behind another wheciniIn whose bicycle
was fitted with n single tube or hosepipe
tires, when suddenly he heard a noise
like the report of pistol and felt singing
sensation in his left eye. He disniounted
and mt the same time the rider In front of
him was obliged TO dismount ON account
of the collapse of one of his tires The
appa rent punctue was in the exact spot
where a puncture had previously been re-
ceived, but the plug which had stopped
the leak was nowhere to be found.
The injured optic grew rapidly worse,
and although the missile which was the
cause of the damage cannot be produced
in court the plaintiff thinks he is WAT
ranted in charging his hurt To the innocent
rider who was in front of him.
