The most disgraceful transaction
ever entered into by the government
of the United States was the bond
deal just closed between the Cleve-
land administration and the Roth
childs. The amount of the bonds is
S62,400,000 and the price to be paid
is 104. The bonds are now selling
for 117a on the market, and brokers
predict that within sixty days they
will bring 1870. This means profit
of about 100000 to the Roth

BADLY MIXED UP.
Six Reasons Why Election at Stafford Spring
CT Monday, Was Illegal.

Stafford Springs, CT, Dec "a borough
election was held today that for unique
complications seldom has been equaled.
There were six reasons why the meeting
was Illegal;
1t was cold and tho ballot box WAS
moved near the stove in such way as to
directly violate the secret ballot law; the
ballots used were not in proper form
there was not the required number OF elec-
ton officers, several election officers had
not been sworn; the moderator was not
properly chosen and proper exit as re
quired by law, was not prov ldcd,
But one ticket was before the meeting
when the polls opened, and it was soon
discovered there was II mistake on the
ticket so that it was thought it would
have to be thrown out, Interested parties
got new tickets ont with their friends
names on it, thinking that it must be
elected Other errors made all the ballots
useless
1t was so obvious tba; the election was
illegal, that the ballots were not counted.
An attempt will DC made to hold a legal
meeting, next Monday.

From the Earth to the Moon.

A voyage to tho moon is a project which
is put forward as the browning point to
the Paris exhibition of 1900. nj. Mautois,
the author, does not, however, propose tc
carry his passengers to the lunar regions
in an aerial projectile car in the style of
jules Verne, but he proposes to bring
down the moon to the reach of the people.
The plan as detailed by foreign journal
is to construct telescope nearly 200 feet
in length, and its objective glass will have
a diameter. of something over feet
inches, the largest in the world This
colossal tube would be placed horizontally,
and the image Of the moon would be re-
ilccted by what is termed "A mirror plane
feet inches in diameter and Is inches in
thickness. Its weight. would be about
5000 pounds. A special feature of the
idea is that the image of the moon should
be thrown upon a screen placed in a hall
large enough to hold 600 spectators. 1t
is calculated that with an apparatus of
these dimensions it would be possible to
discern objects of the size of Notre Dame
cathedral towers.

A New Illuminant.

Some day we shall perhaps settle on a
universal domestic illuminant. Will it be
acotylene? Ii So we shall want shorter
name for it, but that can be shelved for
the present. Acetylene is said to give q
flame 10 or 70 times brighter than an or
binary gas jet, or ~ times brighter than
the very best gas burner can yield. More
over, acetylene gives out much less heat
than gas and very much less vapor. Add
to these advantages the fact that acetylene
can be liquefied with ease and kept in
liquid form, and you have the claims of
acetylene in the rough. 1t is curious that
aeetylene has become commercially posi-
BILE as an il.uminant by developments in
electricity, with which it will now have to
conlnete.
