A NEW WRINKLE FOR SMOKERS.
Wet Your Brier Wood Pipe, and 1t VIII
Last Twice ms Long.

Wet Your Brier Wood Pipe, and 1t Will
Last Twice rs Long.
"Shall wet it for your" asked the cigar
store man who had just sold brierwood
pipe
"Ye-es, " said the customer, handing the
pipe over. but, say, that's now one on
me. What's the idea of wetting it'"
The cigar store man by this time had
the pipe under the water faucet and was
driving water through 1t at great rate.
II learned that, he said, from a pipe
manufacturer. This first wetting makes
a brier pipe last twice as long as 1t would
otherwise. The reason Is that the wood
is very dry. This pipe here has been In
the store six months. maybe year. 1t
was very dry when we got 1t, and OF course
it's drier now. Well, 1t stands to reason
that when fire is applied to the wood, the
pipe will char quickly, and once 1t begins
1t burns through in a short time Now,
good soaking like Pm giving this pipe
dampens the wood. The wood absorbs a
great deal Of the water, and 1t won't burn
so easily. After four or five pipefuls of
tobacco have been smoked there Is very lit
tie danger of the pipe burning except at
the moment 1t is being lighted. Always
remember to light your tobacco, and not
your pipe"
The cigar store man let the pipe soak for
four or five minutes, wiped 1t out and
handed 1t TO the customer. New York

The Cradle OF Mankind.

The recent discovery of flint implements
in Somaliland by Mr.. Seton-Karr is re-
garded as an important contribution to the
evidence by means of which men of science
hope eventually to be able TO locate the
cradle Of the human race. The implements
referred to are identical in form with those
found in northwestern Europe and In In
dia, and this fact Is thought to be an in
dication that In the remote prehistoric
times call the paleolithic age the inhabit-
ANTS of Asia, Africa and Europe belonged

The Color of water.

The fact is generally known that pure
water appears blue when light is transmit
ted through sufficient thickness Of 1t,
and that when Opaque particles are sus-
pended in 1t the hue of the water is green
ish. But while pure water looks blue
when light passes freely through it, yet
when it Is contained In deep, Opaque re-
ceptacle, like the basin of lake or the
ocean, it ought to absorb all light and look
black Experience shows however, that
the deepest parts of the Mediterranean, for
instance, appear not black but intensely
blue. This has been supposed to be caused
by minute particles held in suspension,
but the recent experiments Of Professor
Spring at Liege suggest different explain
alton. He has found that warmer cur
rents passing through pure water interrupt
Its transparency, even when the difference
of temperature Is very slight Such cur.
rents may cause deep water to appear blue
by rejecting light back from Its depths
through the transparent layers above.
This, 1t Is suggested, explains the fact
that fresh water lakes are more transpar.
ent in winter than In summer because In
winter currents Of heated water are not
traversing them Even the shadow of a
mountain falling on a lake may increase
the transparency OF the water by cooling
the surface. Youths Companion

Michigan Republicans for McKinley.

DETROIT, May S-An animated fight
over the money question was the most
striking feature of the Michigan Republi-
can convention yesterday. 1t resulted in
squelching both the gold plank offered by
the majority and the silver plank sub
mitted by the minority of the resolutions
committee, and the substitution therefor
of tho money plank of the Minneapolis
platform of '02. Mckinley was indorsed
most unequivocally, and the delegates
were strongly instructed in his favor, d.
NJ. Ferry was chosen chairman Of the
state central committee but it is not GER
tain that he will accept the post, both
himself and General Alger, whose name
was also presented, having declined the
honor in advance.

TRENTON, May S.-The Democratic CON
vention met here yesterday, and after a
struggle elected the four slated candidates
for delegates at-large to the national con
vention at Chicago, as follows: United
States Senator James Smith, Jr., of Essex
county, ex- United States Senator Rufus
Blodgett of Monmouth, ex-State Chair
man Allen l.. McDermott of Hudson and
ex-Judge Albert Tallman of Gloucester,
The notable feature of the convention was
an Intellectual effort to stampede the dele
gates in favor of ex-senator Frederick
Marsh, of Union county, as one of the
delegates at-large against Mr.. Blodgett,
who was one of the four ON the slate
agreed upon by the party leaders in the
morning William j. Thompson had been
induced to withdraw from the contest.
Allen McDermott was the one leader
who stood out against the slate, and when
the voting was completed, and before the
result was announced he was on the floor
leading the effort to stampede the oonven-
tion and denouncing Blodgett as a traitor
to his party McDermott has never for
given Blodgett for having accepted an
election as United States senator in 1887

cans and boiling Democrats, which de-

for five police helmets. d. K. James, chair
man of the committee that ordered the
goods, objected to the bill ON the ground that
Mr.. Morgan had put in bid to furnish
helmets the same as the old ones for $3.50
each and got the contract because NJ. J.
Scanan's bid was 81. He said it would bo
an injustice to allow the increase and make
bidding for work useless,
Mr.. Reese said Mr.. Morgan had made an
improvement in the shields on the helmets
He considered it worth the increase and
moved the payment of the bill. Mr. Gable
asked if the committee ordered the improve
ment d. X. James replied it had not The
motion was carried, however.
d. Il. James reported that the lamp and
watch committee decided to recommend the
placing of arc electric lights at Coal and
Jardin and White and Coal streets, and the
recommendation was adopted.

Senator Sherman Thinks It's Settled.

WAsHINGToN May S.-The news from
indianapolis was awaited with interest at
the Capitol. When Indiana's action be-
came known Senator Sherman said the
question was settled, and he believed Mr..
Mckinley would be unanimously nomi-
mated. The overwhelming sentiment both
north and south, was for him to such an
extent that there could be no other out
come. Friends in the senate of other
candidates and candidates themselves gem
orally received the news with a grim
smile but declined as rule to be quoted.
Senator Quay said that he did not consider
the fight closed until the convention
should declare itself, as much would de-
pend upon the contesting delegations.
Senator Lodge, referring to the length of
the declaration, said, jokingly that it
hardly seemed adequate" Senator Cul-
lom smiled when he read the dispatch,
but declined to make any comment, as did
Mr.. Manley and Senator Allison.

closely amnated with Jfovernur A5s@.-,
both politically and personally. The eff
fort to break the slate only resulted in
throwing the convention into the widest
confusion for about ten minutes. Mr.,
Marsh got Alb out OF 967 votes.
Ex-Judge Carros, of Camden, was also
put forward by the slate smashers as the
representative of the young Democracy,
but he also fell outside the breastworks.
The platform adopted declared strongly
for gold money standard and warmly in
dorsed the administration of President
Cleveland. The fact that Mr.. Cleveland
has not expressed himself as willing to ac-
cept the nomination was the only thing
that prevented an effort to instruct the
delegates for his denomination. The Glove
and sentiment in the convention was
trong, and the effort might have proved
Successful had it been made. No effort
was made to instruct the delegates, but
much enthusiasm was evoked by the chair
mans mention in his speech of the name
of Ex-Governor Russell of Massach usetts.
Among the delegates from the southern
portion of the state the sentiment is largely
for exc Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania.
Aside from the fight against Blodgett
there was no hitch in the program as
agreed upon. Ex-Speaker James j. Ber-
gen was temporary chairman and Hon.
John w, Queen, Of Hudson, was prma-
nent chairman of the convention. Both
made ringing addresses, which were loudly
applauded.
The platform declares in favor Of u firm,
unvarying maintenance of the present
gold standard, and opposes the free coin
age of silver at any ratio and the compul-
sorry purchase of silver bullion by the gov
ernment. 1t opposes any effort to alter
the present just and conservative tariff
favors liberal expenditures to maintain
adequate coast defenses, indorses the ad
ministration of President Cleveland, and
expresses sympathy with the struggling
