net WAS IN session from 10 till after %.
m. Fhe subject Of the discussion was
the pending bond issue Several lsrouni-
nelx bankers are here. among them j.
Terpont Morgan. and although they
have not seen either the president or
Carlisle. il is understood that sheiz.
views on the situation were conveyed
To the president today. No authorita-
tive statement OF the character of the
cabinet discussion can be made. but it
is believed that no final action has been
determined upon. It Is understood tina.
negotiations with representatives os
London bankers are in progress. with
indications Of an early oonsummagion.
There Is no longer any expectation of
a popular loan To be placed In this
country. as in that event the experience
OF the last few months would be re-
peated and the gold reserve depleted.
The purpose OF the administration. it
Is understood, is to place the entire is
sue OF bonds with London bankers. who
would pay for them in London gold.
and thus avoid. for the present at least.
the necessity OF paying our gold IN ex-
change for legal tenders. While no
definite conclusion has been reached. It
IS believed that the announcement OF
the sale CT the bonds viii be made at an
early day.
The senate finance committee again

owensboro. KY. Feb. s.-Under peremp-

jury in the federal court found q verdict
for cent and costs against the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad Company In the sep
arate coach case The suit was brought
by Rev. w. H. Anderson. coiored, of Ev-
ansville. Ind. for sto.0o0. but was really
to test the separate coach law OF Ken
tucky. Judge Barr decided last summer
that the law was unconstitutional because
II affected interstate commerce. The rail-
road company then contended that il had
rule requiring the separation OF white
and colored passengers aside from the
law mentioned. and asserted that the rule
was a reasonable ONE. Upon this the Is
sue was Joined and the verdict rendered
Judge Rarr's instructions left the Jury
only TO determine heamount OF damages.
Immediately upon the verdict the attor-
neys for the railroad gave notice of an
appeal to the supreme court OF the United
States.

Nowton's Telescope.

Newton fashioned concave mirror from
a mixture of copper and tin, which gives q
surface with almost the luster of silver.
An image of the star was produced in the
focus of this mirror, and then this image,
when examined by a magnifying eyepece,
permits the astronomer to study the star
at what is equivalent to a greatly reduced
distance. Such is tho principle of the IA
nous erecting telescope which bears the
name of Newton.
Tho little reflector which he constructed
Is still preserved as one Of the treasures of
the Royal society. The telescope tube had
the very modest Dimensions of an inch in
diameter. 1t was, however, the precursor
of whole series of magnificent instru-
ments, each outstripping the other in mag
nitude, until at last the eliminating point
was attained in the construction of Lord

A CHEMICAL CURIOSITY.
Carbide Of Calcium and Water Produce IA
Brilliant Illuminating Gas.

Decidedly the most interesting and Gu
rious of recent chemical products is cal
| cium carbide, or calcium aeety lide as it
might be called from theoretical chem
ical point Of view 1t was first described
by Wohler, who made it by strongly heat
ing an alloy of zinc and calcium with
charcoal, but it is now turned out on a
considerable scale by heating mixture of
dry lime and coal dust in an electric fur
mace. In other words. an immense cleo
trio current, such as is used in the produc-
ton of aluminium, for example, is passed
through the mixture, whereupon a part
of the carbon takes the oxygen from tho
lime and carries it off as carbon monoxide
gas, while another part of the carbon COM
bines with the calcium thus set free. Anal
ogous bodies, all of which are explosive
are formed with copper, silver, sodium
and potassium. The noteworthy feature
of the new compound, which is of a green
ish gray color and somewhat resembles the
mineral serpentine, is that, on contact
with water, it develops acetylene, the
hydrogen of the water combining with the
carbon to form this gas, while the oxygen
of the water forms lime by combination
with the calcium.
From information kindly given by Dr..
Henry Morton of Stevens institute it ap-
pears that the calcium carbide is claimed
to be obtainable at cost of IS or ~ a
ton. If this be so, the compound would
promise well as source of illuminating
gas, since acetylene gas burns with very
luminous flame. In country house, for
example it would be necessary only to
have closed vessel, charged with the cal
cium carbide and provided with an auto
| matte stopcock, which would allow water
to flow in as required. Then, the piping
of the house being connected with the
closed vessel, and with small gas holder
to regulate pressure, the light supply
would be complete and automatic. A
piece of carbide of calcium may be held in
the hand and sprinkled with a few drops
of water. A gas will then be developed
which may be lighted with match and
will continue to burn as long as a few
drops of water arc sprinkled on the sub
stance from time to time. Coasters Mag

has not. I even doubt If he has as long

siderable, while Jim stands erect and gets
the full benefit of every inch he's got.
The talk, too. that Corbett, cannot hit
hard Is ridiculous. Fitz, / kn<g, is a ire
mendous puncher, and that is because he
gets close t. an antagonist. He will have
hard work to do that with suck, wonder
full, shifty man as Corbett. Jim can hit
as hard as anybody when he gets close to
his man, as witness the way he punched

keeps away from an adversary until he has
him pretty well jabbed out, and that Is
why his blows seem to lack force.
