GREAT STRIDE IN INDUS TRIAL WAYS
New Process Win BE OF Enormous Value
in Detecting Flaws.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE possible
use of the new process of photography
involving the application of cathode
rays in determining the existence of Sc
cret flaws in metals is now about to be
tested thoroughly at the Carnegie
works, where large amount of naval
construction is under way. The proper
apparatus has been secured and ex-
perts therein are now at the works to
demonstrate whether or not the new
rays will penetrate bodies of metal.
If this can be done the importance OF
the process from an Industrial stand
point can scarcely be overestlmated.
It will be possible to secure an exact
knowledge of the nature OF the metal
of great guns without running the FISK
of explosion, defects in the shafts or
ocean steamers can be discovered be-
fore the shafts break and thereby cause
less loss of life and property, and steel
castings used for structural purposes
can be accurately tested before peing
put in place.

VENEZUELA MATTER NeARs AN END
Il Is Relieved in EnglaDd That II Is
Virtually Settled,

IL Is bcneVe0 In Eu1laDd mat 1t Is
Virtually Settled.
New York. Feb PA special to a
local paper says: The most important
announcement in the opening days pro-
ceedings in parliament was made by
Lord Salisbury respecting Venezuelan
affairs, with his explicit statement that
direct negotiations with Venezuela
would soon be resumed and that the
great obstacle to the settlement of the
question would be removed thereby. If
the Venezuela passage in the queens
speech lacked definiteness, this defect
was remedied by the prime minister
when he made this satisfactory declara-
ton, which was received with as much
enthusiasm as is ever shown in the
house of lords.
A. J. Balfour, in the house Of COM
mons, also took pains to deny that there
had been the slightest intention to vio-
late the substance of the Monroe doc
trine and reaffirmed his hopes that some
permanent system Of arbitrating the
dispute with America be devised. The
opinion in the Hobbies is general that the
Venezuelan question has virtually been
settled all that remained being a mat
| ter of detail.
ADVISED BY UNCLE SAM.
London, Feb. 12.-It is announced on
authority that following the advice Of
the United States, Venezuela has prac-
| tically decided to send representative
to London with power to open direct
negotiations with the government of
| Great Britain for settlement of the
/ boundary dispute.
ENGLAND SHOWS SENSE.
| Washington, Feb. 12.--Ambassador
Bayard has briefly informed Secretary
Olney by cable that the British govern
ment has acceded to the request of the
Venezuelan commission to supply all
possible information on the boundary
line between Venezuela and British
| Guiana.

DEFlED HER WISH.
How a Birch Seed In German Graveyard

How a Birch Seed in n German Graveyard
Grew and Burst Open a woman's Tomb.
There is in an old churchyard on one
of the principal avenues of Hanover,
Germany, an ancient grave which has
met with a somewhat peculiar fate.
One hundred and thirteen years ago it
was dug to hold all that remained NOR
tai of Henriette Julianne Caroline Won
Ruling. The tradition of Hanover is
that Frau Won Ruling was beautiful
woman in her day, and that, fearing by
some chance her grave might be opened
and her moldering corpse disclosed to
view, she took precautions to keep the
seal of her tomb unbrollen.
At the back of the massive monu-
ment, cut deep into the base of the
pedestal, are these words: "This grave,
purchased in perpetuity, shall to the
end of time never be opened"
By a strange fate in the earth that,
was shoveled over her coffin fell a
birch seed. As time passed on a shoot
pushed itself out between the stones of
the massive monument, and then came
a struggle between the growing wood
and the ponderous slabs. A century
passed and the tree won. Bit by bit it
split and burst open the great monu-
mint aud upheaved the heavy base
Sones, exposing to view the grave that
Fas always to be concealed and kept

Instructed Delegates.
Stockton Independent.

(Stockton independently
Congressman Johnson's position in
opposition to instructing the delegation
from California for any Presidential
candidate is correct. While Mckinley
is the choice of an overwhelming ma
jority of Republicans Of this State they
should be content with the knowledge
that such is the case, or they might ex-
press that preference in the convention,
but the delegates should not be tied
down.. California should send to St.
Louis its ablest men and rely on their
ability and fidelity to do justice to the
people, while consulting what is posi-
BILE and expedient. This will leave them
in position to use their power to the
best advantage, while, if they We're
hampered with instructions, they could
do but one thing, and other delegations,
knowing them to be bound would have
only the alternative of yielding to them
or leaving them severely alone. Cali
fornia is for Mckinley, but he may not
win and the delegation should be free
to join the majority at the proper time.
