THE New York World says that
President Cleveland intends to re-
cognize the Cuban insurgents, and
contemplates advising the purchase
of the island from Spain. This
story sounds like the World, and
unless the President OF the United
States has undergone a great
change of heart, it will probably
turn out as the majority of its
stories of a similar character do
founded on a possible fact. The
continued success of the Cuban
insurgents makes it quite probable
that they will soon be favored with
the formal and somewhat tardy
recognition of the United States.

THE CABLE A SANITARY SAFEGUARD.

Hawaii the sanitary outpost is a
new phase of the Importance of this
country to the United States that
has been brought to the American
mind by recent events. The value
Of these islands as a military
and commercial outpost Of the
United States has been argued
and reargued since ships of war
and merchant ships have come
to Honolulu. The people have
listened to the pros and cons for
years, and their support of either
side has depended very much on
their political persuasion and the
mandate of the party. But when
it comes to a question of protect
ing the public health party lines
are forgotten. The people with
one accord begin to look about and
in the words Of the maudlin Con-
gresham ask where they are at.
Thus il is that Americans who
have put the Hawaiian cable down
as a needless expense, an Hawai-
ian necessity but an American
luxury, are beginning to come to
their senses. They have discov-
cred that the boot will fl the
American as we'll as the Hawaiian
leg.
AS the Examiner says, the oppon-
ents of government aid to the cable
project have pretty theory but 1t
doesn't fit a cholera epidemic. A
plague infested steamer at the pres
ent time lays the whole United
States liable to dangers that could
easily be averted by Geographic
communication by means of which
all ports along the Coast could be
warned and prepared to take
proper care of vessels on arrival.
''There would be no particular profit
for private individuals in a service
of this sort-nothing that would be
an inducement to a corporation to
lay a cable as a commercial specu-
lation-but its Importance to the
community can scarcely be ques-
toned even by such stalwart OPP
ponents Of subsidies as the New
York Evening Post.
Although this country has paid
a price it can i'll afford, to impress
these facts upon the American
fnanciers, no military or CONNER
cial argument that Colonel Spald-
ing and his congressional friends
can offer will have more influence
on the guardians of the national
purse strings than this example
that has cost us money and lives,
and might have cost San Francisco
more lives and more money.

THE political success of Brice in
Ohio, German in Maryland and
Quay in Pennsylvania augurs well
for the sugar trust and other organ
izations of it's kind. Money power
in the United States Senate is by
no means a dead letter.

large extent, by accident, as
will be seen by the following
from the pen of Thomas A.
Edison. In speaking of the
invention of the Phonograph
he says:
81 was engaged upon
machine intended to repeat
Morse characters which were
recorded upon paper by in
dentations that transferred
their message to another cir
cult automatically when passed
under a tracing point connect
ed with a circuit closing ap-
paratus.
"In manipulating this ma
chine l found that when the
cylinder carrying the indented
paper was turned with great
swiftness, it gave out q hum
ming noise from the indenta-
tons - a musical rythmic
sound resembling that of
human talk heard indistinctly.
This led me to try fitting
a diaphramS to the machine
which would receive the vibra-
tons or sound waves made by
my voice when | talked into it,
and register these vibrations
upon an impressible material
placed upon the cylinder. The
material selected for immedi-
ate use was parrafned paper,
and the results obtained were
excellent. The indentations
on the cylinder when rapidly
revolved caused a repetition
of the original vibration to
reach the ear through a re-
corder just as if the machine
itself were talking. l saw at
once that the problem Of re-
gistering the human voice, so
that it could be repeated by
mechanical means as often as
might be desired, was solved"
About this time the summer
pleasures end, the damp
rainy weather commences, and
the housewives duties begin;
right methods make these
duties a pleasure also. If you
are in search of a stove that
will lessen the trials of cooking
examine the merits of the
GOLDEN ANVIL RANGE. This
range is made from the very
best cold rolled sheet steel
constructed on principles best
known 10 us for strength and
convenience. 1t is guaranteed
to use one third less wood or
coal per day than any stove
made. The baking qualities
for either roats or pastry are
unsurpassed. The CRATE of
the fire box is made three
cornered shape thus present.
ing a new, clean surface each
day. At the back and above
the range is a full length shelf
with nickled racks for the plac-
ing and keeping dishes warm.
With each range we furnish a
coil connection for hot water
purposes. To those who de-
sire a first class, Al range,
nothing better is to be found
on the market than the GOLDEN
ANVIL. We also have the
PANsY stove in three sizes, suit
able for coal or wood. The
PANsY is a modern made stove
in every respect, with complete
free draft and is built to wear.
To those who desire a stove
and not a range the PANsY
should be considered as we
have found them an excellent
seller and they have given per
feet satisfaction.
Oil stoves seem to be a
favorite with people who do
not wish a lasting fire and to
those we say do not make a
purchase until you have seen
the 'DIETz" TUBULAR in oper-
alton. This stove given a
thorough unprejudiced test,

FIRE CURTAIN OF WATER.-An eff
fective device for the protection of
buildings from fires in adjacent struc-
lures has been successfully tested in
Boston,. The idea worked out in the
apparatus is to maintain a sheet Of
water between the fire and the building
to be protected. This is done by plac-
ing on every open side of the building
near the top liue of perforated piping
for carrying the water. The complete
apparatus consists of fve-inch stand
pipe extending over the upper story.
From it runs another pipe around the
sides and front from two and one-half
to four inches in diameter. On the
front are three revolving sprinklers,
and one is placed at each exposed side,
in the centre. The arms are of bronze
metal, slightly curved. At each end of
the arms is q ball nozzle, such as is used
by fire departments on regular hose
lines. At the base of the standpipe is a
Siamese connection for four lines Of
three-inch hose. AT the Boston test a
fire department steamer furnished the
power, and for about fifteen minutes
poured through the sprinkler deliv-
cry of 1 900 gallons minute, complete
ly drenching the walls and keeping a
continuous sheet of water from top to
| bottom.

A UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER.

A UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER
Telegraphic reproduction of electro
types for newspaper printing is the
latest achievement of electric inven-
ton. The innovation is very remark
able and consists in the transferring and
reproducing of exactly similar news
papers in different cities by telegraph.
A Berlin paper can, by the use of this
machine, appear in all the larger cities
of Germany at the same hour in the
morning without being sent through
the mails. The inventors claim for
their apparatus not only increased
rapidity, but they say also that it will
reduce the cost Of printing. The in
ventors and pstentees, Messrs. G. Me-
Horvath and G. Roar, at Gras, de-
scribe the working of the apparatus as
follows:
The copy is first of all run off on
typewriter, next to the typewriter
copy, which serves as corrector's proof,
special attachment releases narrow
strip of silvered paper, which is cover
ed by number of short strokes and
dots constituting an alphabet peculiar
to this machine. These strokes and
dots are made by means of q chemical
fluid, which SO changes the metallic
surface of the paper that it becomes
pou-conductive. Any corrections be-
coming necessary can be made on the
strip Of silver paper; insertion or cut
ting out of copy is also easily per-
formed. After being edited and cor
rected, the long strip of silver paper is
rolled up on spool, and inserted into
a telegrapbic apparatus, which, when
set in motion, will reproduce the same
strokes and dots on similar silver paper
at any distance and in any number OF
apparatus connected at the same time.
These strips of silvered paper are
placed into the "electric typograph." I"
The strip passes beneath six poinfs of
electric contact covering the entire.
width of the metallic surface. This
typograph operates in such way that
the steel type representing each char
acter is impressed upon a prepared
cardboard in the proper order. An
automatic mechanism provides tor the
varying width of the type, for the spac
ing and alignment, and for the moving
of the cardboard at the end of the line.
The cardboard, fully covered with
characters, represents one solid column
of copy, and is ready for the electro
typer. AS compared with the type
setting machines now in use, this ap
paratus gives the advantage Of correct
ing and editing the entire copy from
typewriter proof sheets. The invent
ors claim for the typograph that it will
do the work of eight expert typesetters
and save two-thirds Of the cost Of set
ting up the copy by hand.
