Additional newspaper criticism Of Mr..
Gladstone's Liverpool speech shows
that the antf-English campaign which
the German press have entered into
has reached high state Of inflamma-
ton. The North German Gazette" in
its issue to-day prints the entire speech
translated verbatim, and attacks Mr..
Gladstone viciously in its accompany
ing editorial. The German papers are
also much stung by the taunts of the
Russian journals, which are asking
why 1T is that Germany, which has al
ways been parading it's military great
ness and readiness for war, now shows
itself to be more awed than any of the
other Powers before the phantasm Of
war as a consequence of an attempt to
coerce the Sultan. The journals con-
tinue their taunting Of Germany by de-
claring that neither Austria nor Italy
shows such eagerness to interfere, and
that German interests in the Mediter-
ranean are only secondary.

BERLIN, Sept. 27.-(Copyright, 1896.
anti-Turkish speech delivered by Mr.
Gladstone at last Thursdays mass
meeting in Liverpool has been widely
published here and generally COM
mented on by the newspapers, a ma
jority of which speak of the address un-
favorably. The "Vossische Zeitung,' -
the most indulgent Of any of the leading
journals in it's criticisms, goes no further
Than to express the hope that the words
of the former Prime Minister of Great
Britain will have a SOLDERING effect upon
the Sultan and the Palace clique behind
him.
At the same time the 'Vossische''
suggests the possibility that the almost
violent language employed by Mr..
Gladstone may not reawaken the fanati-
cisns Of the Moslems and the Armenian n
revolutiOnists and their followers lead
ing to the very results which he so
strongly denounces. Among the other
leading German papers the consensus Of
opinion is that the address Is more
likely to encourage a renewal of the
massacres in the Sultan's domain.
The North German Gazette" in an
exhaustive article in criticism Of the
speech, says: 1T must be painful to
many Englishmen to find that Mr. Glad
stone does not know of any other remedy
for the Turkish excesses than to threa-
ten the Sultan while at the same time
confessing that the threats could not
be followed by action"

lowed to Dress In Business Garb.
The most original experiment in pris
on reform which has yet been tried has
recently been put into effect at Ohio't
penitentiary at Columbus. A strik-
ing, almost startling change in the con.
ventional prison stripes of the convict
has been made. This. the first an
nouncement of this startling departure,
will doubtless excite wide attention and
comment.
1t is, in brief, regulating the clothing
of the convict by his conduct. Under
the system now in vogue in all prisons
every convict wears the same uniform.
The prisoner whose instincts are vile,
whose ideas are thoroughly STEPPED in
crime, is the same, in the appearance
that clothing gives, as the man whose
instincts are Of high grade, but who,
through weakness, has violated the
laws.
Penologists have long held that the IN
telligent convict could be more thor
oughly reformed by mental processss
or methods akin thereto. than by the
caused ali offenders TO suffer. This "a
exactly the idea from which Warden e.
G. Coffin, of the Ohio penitentiary, con-
ceived his plan of helping the prisoners
to reform by grading their clothing.
There are to be three grades. one hard
" different from the ordinary suit Of
the civilian, while the other two bear
in a greater degree the marx OF the
prison.
The first grade Of clothing Is of plain
gray cloth. with nothing to indicate that
it is anything else than citizens suit.
The second grade viii consist of gray
and white checkered goods, and the
third grade viii be that Of the present
regular stripes. as now worn by ali.
A prisoner upon entering the prison
will be placed in the second grade, and
after the expiration of six months, with
out being reported for any infraction of
the rules, will be entitled to be placed
in the first grade. Every prisoner in
the Ohio penitentisry who Is not r.

LOUIsIANA'S UNSTABLE SOIL.

A Channel -Four Miles Wide That Was
Started by Man with . Paddle.
A committee Of Louisiana engineers
has been Investigating the Baptist Col.
let canal, which has become an outlet
of the river, in order to determine
whether it is work of nature or Of
man. The committee was unable ia
get any definite information on the
subject, but leans to the idea that it
was originally ditch. which has been
magnified by the work OF the river into
a pass or outlet of the Mississippi. An
attempt will be made to determine
which Of the streams of Louisiana are
natural and which are artificial. so As
to guide the river and harbor commit
tee in providing for them.
There is great deal of confusion on
this subject, and nearly all the maps
Of Louisiana are erroneous because OF
the frequent appearance of new
streams and the disappearance of old
ones. 1t is well known that Bayou
Plaquemine is artificial, although the
government has treated it as a natural
waterway; and even the Atchafalaya,
the largest river in Louisiana after the
Mississippi, is more artificial than
natural, having appeared on the origin
al map as an insignificant creek, Bayou
Opelousas or Apelosa. A still more i'm
portant stream that is purely artificial
and due to an accident is known as Nor
rison's cutoff. in st. Mary parish. It
was once solid land, but some 40 years
ago a man named Morrison, finding
that he had to go a long way around
to reach ST. Bernard bay, jumped
ashore, and, with a paddle, made ditch
through which he was able to float his
boat. When he returned two weeks
after by the same route he found that
the water Of Bayou Sale and ST. Bernard
bay had taken the new channel, and
that the ditch was 200 feet wide. It is
four miles wide to-day, and the land
he cut of has been gradually washed
away. until it now consists only Of q
string of small islands. Morrison's cut
off is now the route for numerous ves-
sells running along the coast of south
louisiana It was made in the course of
n few hours with an ordinary perogue
paddle and by one man, but would prob
ably have cost the United States thou
sands of dollars if it had been under
taken as an engineering enterprise, and
If the gulf waters had not done the
work.-N. Y. Sun.

GIASS-PLATED TYPE.
ne Body Made OF Hard Rubber-RecA
German Invention.

The Body Made Of Hard Rubber-Rocan
German Invention.
The replacing of metal type by typ
made of glass is being seriously consid
cred. since it has been found practicable
to produce glass type. Since printer
type is locked and held together solidly
in frames, type consisting of one piece
of glass was not found to work satisfac.
torily, as the material was found to ba
too brittle to Withstand the pressure.
Thematerial, however, isso much cheap
er and will save so much time in the
manufacture Of type that the use Of
glass was not given up when it was
found that it was not entirely avail.
able for the purpose. Wilhelm Pilz,
of johannesburg, near Gablonz, the
center of the Bohemian glass industry,
has now patented a very remarkable In
vention. He proposes to make the body
of the type of hard rubber or celluloid,
which, when locked in the frame, will
resist the pressure without difficulty
and places the glass top of the letter
that is the real face of the tpye-upon
the rubber body, cementing them solid
ly by the use Of cement. So as not to
suffer under the pressure, the face OF
the type is somewhat smaller than the
traverse section of the body, and in this
way the touching of the face of the type
in the form is effectively prevented. The
advantage of using glass for type,
which will keep its sharpness for a
much longer time, since glass is not as
subject to wear as metal, is, therefore,
effectively achieved with this invention.
The innovation has been practically
tested, and at the present moment may
be produced in unlimited quantities at
comparatively small cost.
The demand for type is enormous,
and type foundries turn out millions OF
type per year. In the 3os all printers
type had to be finished by hand. At
that time an output of 1000 type per
day was considered very large. The
first type-making machine invented by
David Bruce, in 1888, could turn out TO-
600 type, while the j. r. johnson ma
chine, patented in 1853, finished daily
about 25, 200 type, turning it out ready
for use. The latest invention in this
field was the double type machine OF the
Frenchman, Foucher, which turns out
almost $4,000 per day. By the system
of Pilz it viii be possible to turn out
from 10000 to 10000 type Per day on
the three machines necessary to pro-
duce his combined rubber and glass
type.-St Louis Republic.
