a London cablegram to the Philadel-
phia Press says: Science is still divided
with angry international disputes over
the lions share OF attention. Professor
J. J. Thomson, OF Cambridge, discovers
that when the Roentgen rays pass
through any substance, even those COM
monty used in insulatons, they render 1t
a conductor Of electricity. Thomsons
theory is that this property Of rays OF
converting insulators into conductors Of
electricity Is due to kind Of eiectrolysis,
the rays breaking up the molecules OF the
non-conductor and acting the part Of a
solvent In an electrolytic solution.
To-day's Telegraph says: "One OF the
ambitions of the new electrography was
to reproduce the living human brain in
black and white, but Mr.. Ingles Rogers
has bettered this. He declares he has
succeeded in photographing his thoughts
upon negative plate In earlier expert
ments. A few moments Of intent gazing
through dark camera In a darkened
room resulted In the subsequent develop
ment of two white marks. representing
the pupils OF the eyes, which impressed
themselves on the film. In a later effort
close thinking on the face Of child who
had died resulted in this disc being found
to contain shadowy representation Of the
features. OF which there was no other
record I'm existence.

1T WAS A CRUEL JOKE.
Operator Reports a Richmond Cou-
pIe Married When They Were Not.

Mr.. Benjamin Florsheim, of No. SlS east
Broad street, was the victim Of a cruel
Joke a day or so ago. He received a
telegram from Emporia, Va. stating that
his daughter had eloped with Mr.. Gus
Alichelbacher, of tails city Upon inves-
tigation this proved to be a practical
Joke on the part Of the railway agent
at Emporia.
Mrs. Florsheim and two OF her daugh-
ters went 10 Emporia week or so ago TO
take part in an entertainment to be given
for the benefit of the Episcopal church at
that place.
They had accepted the invitation of
Mrs. Schwartz, cousin, to spend the
night and were eventually induced to
extend the visit for week. Mr.. Michel
bacher was also a guest at the same
house, and the agent laughingly remarked
that he would telegraph TO Richmond
that Mr.. Michelbacher and Miss Flor
sheim had eloped. No one thought any,
thing more OF the jest until Mr.. Flor
sheim and another sister arrived on the
scene In a great state OF nervous ex-
element.

rnR NEW SILVER PARTY

The prospectus OF the American BIZ
metallic Party, "a new political organiza-
tion," has been received. The issues on
which the new party will organize arc set
forth at some length, the main point Of
which is the first declaration, 1--WE de-
clare ourselves to be unalterably opposed
to the single gold standard. and demand
the immediate return to the constitu-
tional standard Of gold and silver. by the
restoration by this Government inde-
pendently of any foreign power, Of the
unrestricted coinage of both gold and sill
yer into standard mon ey, at the ratio Of
16 to 1, and upon terms OF exact
equality; the silver coin to be full legal
tender. equally with gold for all debts and
dues, public and private. The prospectus
is accompanied by a petition or call re-
questing Joseph c. Sibley of Pennsylvania
to be a candidate for President in 1896
upon the platform of the Bimetallic
signers, regardless OF former political
affiliations. The course Of this new move
ment will be watched with much interest.
There is no doubt that the silver SEN
timent is growing. and will undoubtedly
be the dominant issue in the coming
campaign. but whether the country is
ready to go to the extreme point set by
the new party is the question. 1t may be
stated as fact, however, that the COM
bined wisdom of the Democratic party
will be found equal to the occasion, and
plank can be framed for the platform
which will render the new party un-
necessary, to say the least.
