\ DELIGHTFUL JAUNT TO THEE NA
TIONAL CAPITOL.
Low Rates via Il. 6 o.

Have you ever treated yourself to a
visit TO the capital OF the nation? If
not, havn't you often waited for an op-
portunitY to do so, to see It's public
buildings, visit its museums, art gal
leries, arsenals, parks and public and
private institutions Possibly when
you had the time, the expense was a
serious drawback. BY taking advant-
age of the low rate excursions offered
by the b. & O., this item is reduced to
a minimum and really places the trip
within the reach of all. The next ex-
cursiou via b. & .. L. R. is announced
for Thursday, March 14th. Write to
the nearest b. & O. agent for an Illus
trated guide to the capital, giving de-
scription and cuts OF the principal pub
lie buildings and a map, also detailed
information in regard to the itinerary.

FACTORY H"
May Be Placed in Operation in the
Near Future.
Odessa, Del, Dec. &c, 1894.

May Be Placed in Operation in the
Near Future.
For some time past workmen have
been engaged in repairing the roof and
other portions of the plant of the
United States Glass Company, known
as Factory II" This fact has given
rise to rumors that an effort will be
made to place the factory in operation
1t is learned from excellent authority
that such is really the intention of the
Company. The old Hobbs. Brockunier
& Co. factory gained a reputation for
the excellence of its product, which
was as wide as the market for the
ware.
Inquiries failed to develop any def
mite information relative to the scale
of wages to be paid the factory en-
ployes. in the event that operations are
resumed. The q. S. Company is fight
ing the American Flints elsewhere
and if the factory starts it will I'M
doubtedly be with non-union work
men.

Balloon Observations.

Observations from n captive balloon arc
more easily carried out at sea than on land,
because the air currents are more uniform
and are not so subject to sudden changes.
Vessels can be distinguished perfectly, and
there is no difficulty In recognizing wheth-
er they are merchantmen or mcn-of-war.
Some recent experiments with these bal
looms result in tho conclusion that at q
height of l 300 feet 1t Is not possible to SEQ
the bottom of the sea to any great depth,
In consequence Of tho impediments to vi
sion offered by the color of the water and of
the bottom.
With a favorable light, rocks and sand
banks are clearly defined at depth Of 10
to % feet. Larger sand banks can be seen,
according to the color of the water, at q
depth Of 40 feet. In naval warfare captive
balloons would be of great utility as OBJ
scrvatories to a fleet, enabling the officers to
re%connoiter the entrance Of unknown har-
bors and for asccrtaining the exact position
Of forts, batteries and other defenses.

Governors Day.

Today will be the gala day at the State
encampment of the Maine militia. Gov
ernor Cleaves, our popular Chief Execu-
tive, will be- on the field with his staff
and review the troops. The Governor was
himself q brave and faithful soldier dur
ing the dark days of the Civil War, and
tn "boys in blue" at Camp Cleaves will
leave have in their commander In chief,
today, q most competent critic. Every
one comedies In the opinion that the
muster thus far has been one Of the most
successful In the history Of the State. A
large number Of visitors from various
parts of Maine will be on hand, this
afternoon, to witness the grand review
which will occur at 2 o'clock. The troops
are In command Of experienced officers,
the personnel Of the various companies Is
better thar It has ever been before and
the work, today, will BE- well worth
seeing. 1t has been remarked by our
citizens many times this week that the
muster Outside the encampment has been
q very quiet one. The soldiers seen about
the streets have conducted themselves In
a gentlemanly tanner. Altogether we
think the muster Of 1895 Will pass Into
history as the most satisfactory and sue
cessfuI ono that has ever been held.

Human Storage OF Caloric.

There is some danger to the novice in
going into semitropical regions in being
unacquainted with and unprepared for the
degree of apparent cold which he is likely
to find, to his great surprise. And when
he looks at the thermometer he is further
surprised to see 1t so kegh while his feel
ings indicate q much lower temperature.
He Is still more %astonished to notice that
the natives do not mind the cold that
makes the novice shiver. The fact is that,
without his accustomed fire and house
warming facilities and subjected to air
currents, the practical temperature in its
physiological effects is much lower than
the thermometer registers.
In Spain, Italy and in general along the
Mediterranean shore they have n semi
tropical climate during eight or nine
months of the year, during which time the
native inhabitants hold their calOrifacient
function in reserve, and when they reach
their short and moderately cold season
they have no difficulty in drawing suffi-
ciently on their reserve Matchmaking power.
The man from the north has no such re-
serve, and what he has the temperature Is
not sufficiently stimulating to call into
full activity. He has used up his caloric
In the greater cold Of the north. People
from tho extreme south enjoy their first
northern winter. Popular Science Month

Tho Senatorial Contest in Ohio.

It Ia said that Calvin s. Brice Is willing
to spend a cool million dollars If he can't
thereby control the Ohio Legislature and
secure his reelection to the United States
Senate. This seems almost incredible ;
but to those familiar with Brice and his
methods there will be nothing surprising In
the statement. Politics with Brice Is bust
ness. He Is said to have made q great deal Of
money by successful speculation since he
entered the Senate six years ago-enough
to pay n million dollars for q reelection
and still be richer than when he went to
Washington. He realizes that he has an
enormo fight on his hands and there Is
no doubt but what he will conduct 1t with
characteristic shrewdness and boldness. He
will have O hard man to deal with howev-
or in Ex- Governor Foraker who was en-
dorsed for tho United States senate by
the last Republican state convention In
Ohio and who Is both a shrewd political
organizer and a vigorous campaigner. In
his fight against Brlcc Mr.. Foraker will
have the active assistance Of Governor Nc
Kiuley and Senator Sherman. There
seems to be no doubt OF Republican sue
cess. With a big corruption fund Senator
Brice Ia q formidable foe; but this is q
year, and Ohio q state, where a barrel-or
n cistern-will not avail to hold back the
rising tide Of Republican sentiment.

OPERATING ON THE BRAIN.
How the Thumb Center" Was Safely and
Accurately Removed,

Accurately Removed,
1t has become quite common in recent
years for surgeons to remove certain por-
lions Of tho brain In such cases of epilepsy
rs have been shown to be due to irritation
originating In these specific centers. DIR.
W. W. Keen of Philadelphia recently saw
a patient whose epileptio attacks invaria-
bly, began with twitching in n thumb.
This fact was well authenticated by the
most painstaking And repeated observa-
ton. 1t was decided to remove the thumb
nter from that side of the brain opposite
to that of tho affected thumb. The bone
was trephined, and after the center had
been localized by electrical stimulation it
was cut down upon and removed with tho
scoop. AS Is always the case with opera
tions upon the brain, there was but little
bleeding, even less pain and q speedy re-
covery from the operation, with no unfa-
vorable symptoms. The patient was at
first entirely relieved of her epileptic at
tacks. Although they finally required. their
severity was mitigated and they were far
less frequent. This was an operation Of re-
mnrkable nicely, as tho entire substance
Of the thumb center had to be removed
without including any of the other various
finger, wrist, elbow, shoulder or face GEN.
tiers, which impinge upon it on all sides.
DR.. Keen has also performed a similar
operation for removal of the hand center.
Tho patient wa a boy whose attacks al
ways began with twitching Of the men,
bers Of one entire hand. He recovered
promptly from the effects Of the operation
and was free from attacks for some time,
but eventually suffered again from them
to O very limited extent.-New Science

An American Girl vfolinist.

The mother of Dora Valesca Becker had,
as a child, the greatest craving to study
the violin, but her wish was never realized,
because her father, a wealthy Hungarian
merchant, was opposed to the idea of hav-
ing a girl educated in music. Mrs. Beck.
er was therefore determined, should she
be blessed with o daughter, to nave her
learn the violin, writes Frederic Reddall in
The Ladies' Home journal. So it came
about that the little Dora began her stud
les when only six years of age. She was
born in Galveston, her father being con
ductor Of the Galveston Singing society.
AT the & of : she made her debut at the
Galveston Opera House. AT a second con
cert, given when she was only 9 years old,
she won the hearts of the people in such a
n that they sent her presents of jew
elry and q beautiful violin.

OPERATIC STARS.

Sir Augustus Harris Tells How he Dis
covers and Secures Them.
During a performance at the Drury Lane
theater Sir Augustus Harris had a talk
with an interviewer. He explained how
he finds his operas and his artistes.
From every great musical city in the
world 1 receive information as to the oper-
attic discoveries, and l follow them up. No
opera singer out without getting
under my notice or that of my friends. AS
soon as I receive news of anything 1 send
out to lave the information substantiated.
l could not myself be all the time looking
up every one who is mentioned to me. for
many of the reported swans turn out mis-
cradle geese. However, 1 go about once a
year to judge for myself on n tour of in
spection.
"Then 1 get all the leading foreign pa
pers and musical publications. Wednes-
days Figaro gives you many Of the i'm
portant musical events in all the big cities
in Europe, and as soon as that Partisan
paper arrives here 1t is studied and noted.
So, you see, Immediately 1 hear of new
artistes l know all about them before hav-
ing to go and hear them. l obtain ex-
perts' opinion, find out what price is neces-
sary to secure their services, etc, and then
decide. 1t requires some considerable in
stinct, for a singer may create a furore on
the continent and fall terribly fiat when
brought over here.
"Of course 1 hear many, many people
sing, but it is q rare thing to find a true
artistic. l just sit here and watch and
watch. You sec my company is different
from others. l do not entirely rely on one
bright particular star, as was the custom
In the past, but l depend on all round ex-
cellence."
