aerial torpedo" designed to be used in the siege of efties, or to scatter large bodies of troops while at rest. The tor pedo consists of a small-sized gas-filled balloon, capable of sustaining for any length of time from thirty to forty pounds at an elevation of from 800 to 1000 feet above the earth. Inside of the lower or small end of the balloon Is placed a metal cylinder. which contains an electrical device, the purpose of which is to ignite the gas in the balloon at any stated period Underneath the balloon is suspended a case or basket containing high explosives, similar to dynamite, which eXplodes with terrific force when striking hard substance like the earth or walled embankments In action, the management of the torpedo Is described as very easy and simple, the inventor stating that a eorporaPs guard can with it accomplish what would require a large force to do by the usual methods now employed in the siege of cities or the scattering of large bodies of troops. The torpedo complete is small and compact, and large number can be carried by few men or pack animal. The gas to infiate the ballon is carried in light metal cylinders, enough being compressed in one cylinder to inflate large number of the aerial torpedoes.

Len Greer in Receipt of Letter Threatening If He Does Not Desst Denonnc-
 ing the PopS

Anniston, July 22.-(special)-Th facts which Len Greer, who two years ago was a candidate for representative on the populist ticket, but who has re- gently returned to democracy. and who made red hot speech at White Plains last Saturday, telling the people in refer ence to the campaign poodle used by w.. F'. Aldrich in this district two years since, seems to be worrying the populists con- siderably, and an effort is being made to intimdate him, so as to seal his lips and keep him off the stump. Last Sunday morning MT Greer who lives in Choc- colocco valley, found on his door step an anonymous letter threatening him with personal violence if he did not stop de- nouncing the populistS as he did at White Plains Saturday. In this way, some man who is too cowardly to meet Greer in the open, hopes to drive him in his tent and keep him there until after the state election, but the day has passed when men can be intimidated in this way, and Len Greer will continue to work for the democratic ticket. He has gone down to south Alabama, where he will put in the next six days making speeches for democracy. This pro- gramme was arranged, however before he received the threatening letter, and 1t had nothing to do with his going to another part of the state.

Among the ora tors of the occasion may be mentioned J. B. Bonner, Kelly Adams, c. Hutchins, Traylor of Fillmore, D. c. Cross, s. A. Austin, J. Edwards J. H. Conton and Chairman Marshall.

 Alternates-J. B. Riley of Monroe, w. J. Smith of Fillmore, Secretary J. H. Con- ton and J. Edwards of Montgomery. Chairman F. J. Marshall and Secretary J. H. Conton were unanimously re-elect- ed
 The meeting adopted the following manifesto by rising vote:
 The Afro-American league of the state of Alabama in convention assembled in the beautiful and historic city of Mont gomery, do declare the following pream- ble:
 We. the colored people of the state of Alabama, do heartily indorsa the action of the state convention in nominating Capt. Joseph F. Johnston for governor and do hereby pledge them our hearty support
 We further indorse the nominees of the national democratic convention, the Hons. w. J. Bryan of Nebraska and Ar thur Sewall of Maine for president and vice president.
 We believe as democras, that the dem ocratic party is the party of the people, for the people and by the people, admin istering the affairs of the government economically, fairly and justly and with out oppressive taxation and we further declare our support to the nominees of the democratic party, both state and national. We further indorse the administration of Gov. William c. Oates as having been wise and patriotic.

Eels Are a Mystery.
Exchange

EHCHdHBF
 How cells reproduce Is mystery which naturalists have not solved, the general opinion being that even fresh water cells will spawn only in sea water. Dr. Inl- hoff, however, inclines to a different the- ory. The experiment was made fourteen years ago of putting cells into three little Alpine lakes without outlets in the Gris- ons in Switzerland In two of the lakes the cells died out, but in the Cauma See they have fourished. although no addi- tions to the stock have been made since 1887, some of them being 4h feet long. The original eels must be nine years old at least but as there are many young eels of both sexes in the lake. the eels must have multiplied in the lake itself. The Cauma See is 1900 feet above sea level, has no apparent outlet and Is fed by subterranean springs, so that 1t seems difficult for young cells to have gotten into 1t by natural immigration

 Bill Clause.

London, July 22.-The house of com mons today proceeded with the consid- eratlon of the Irish land bill Clause 24 of the measure provides that advances under the purchase acts shall consist of money and not of guaranteed land stock. When this clause was reached Sir Thom- as Esmonde anti-Parnellite, moved that the advances should consist of guaran- teed land stock and not of money The Irish landlords joined the nationalists in the support of Sir Thomas Esmondes motion, and 1t was carried by a vote of 30 to 86 This vote against the govern ment was received with frantic cheers from the Irish members, and MT. Bal four, first lord of the treasury, with drew the clause altogether.

THE FOPULIST PLATFORM. The Sub-Treasury Plank Is Conspicuous by
 Its Absence.


 St. Louis, July 22.-The leading mem- bers of the populist party are agreed that their national platform shall follow close ly the lines of the Omaha platform adopted four years ago. This platform, if agreed to, will be more or less modi- fed and in this form will be practically as follows:
 1. We demand a national currency safe, sound and flexible; issued by the gen. eral government only, @ full legal tender for all debts public and private, and that without the use of banking corporations a just equitable end efficient means of distribution direct to the people.
 2. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1.
 8. We demand that the amount of the circulating medium be speedily increas- ed in sufficient quantity to transact the business of the country on @ cash basis.
 4. We demand a graduated income tax.
 5. We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possi- ble in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all state and national revenues shall be limited to the neces- sary expenses of the government, eco- nomically and honestly administered.
 6. We demand that postal savings banks be established by the government for the safe deposit of the earnings of the people, and to facilitate exchange.
 2. Transportation being a means of ex- change and a public necessity. the gov ernment should operate the railroads in the interest of the people.
 B. The telegraph and the telephone, like the postoffice system, being neces- sity for the transmission of news, should be operated by the government in the interest of the people.
 g. Ths land. including all the natural sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the people and should not be monopo- flized for speculative purposes, and alien ownership of lands should be prohibited. All land now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of their natural needs and all land now owned by aliens, should be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. ' Tt will be observed that the sub-treas- t1ry plan, which was one of the features Of the Omaha platform, has been elim- Inated. It was an alliance rad, which was only agreed to by the peoples party as compromise and to placate the alliance element which four years ago was strong factor in the populist ranks.
 "General'' Coxey of Ohio. who is con- spicuous figure at this convention, will tomorrow strongly urge the committee on resolutions to insert plank favcring his non-interest-bearing bond scheme but 1t is said at midnight that this will not be acceptable to the majority of the committee, who desire to make the plat form as brief as possible. and who feel that the Coxey plank would be a detri-, ment to the party in the coming cam paign. eer
 likely to be any more successful In se- curing the insertion of an anti-saloon and woman's suffrage blanks. They will rn- ceive the respectful considera ton Of .lie committee. but nothing further. t T m
