MCkinley's Plurality 10000.

The New York State board of canvas
sers met at Albany Dec. 10th and canvass
ed the result of the late election. The
following are the official totals:
For President: Mckinley, Rep, $40, s3G;
Bryan, Silver Dem, So l, 369; Palmer, Nat.
Dem, 10, POS; Socialist Labor, II, 667;
Prohibition, 16, O52; blank, defective and
scattering, 122, 0S0.
Mckinley over Bryan 26S, 1850 Mckin-
ley over all others, 215 435.
The canvass of the vote of New York
State practically completes the official
votes by States. and makes it possible for
the first time to tabulate the popular vote
for President. With the exception Of
Utah and South Dakota, where the courts
have ordered the revision of the compet-
ed returns, the final official vote of all the
States has been collected.
In Texas the State canvassing board de-
clared the vote without waiting for the re-
turns from six small counties These have
been estimated and added to the result in
that State.
The total vote cast was IL, 924, 653. This
was l ,Sl3, l24 more than the total vote of
1892.
nhSAAluiCy lCttlFo, lc1, fSO, ana bryan
g, sos, 6Sl, plurality for Mckinley of
800, 799.
The vote for Bryan and Sewan and that
for Bryan and Watson are combined in
the total vote given for Bryan.
Only II States reported a separate vote
for Bryan and Watson. Watsons aggre-
gate vote was As, $40.
The sound money Democratic vote for
Pa liner and Ruck ner was 1.lo 01t
The prohibition vote for lowering was
III, ia.
The national or free silver prohibitions
lists cast 10, 320 votes for Bentley
Matchett, the candidate of the Socialist
labor party, received 33, 942 votes.
Mckinley's plurality over Bryan in the
New England States was 40, 100. 1t is
thus evident that outside of New Y ork
and New England Bryan had a popular
plurality of l3S 179, OF more than Palmer $
vote in the entire country.

Papers and Periodicals.

The New York Christmas Herald, issued
Dec. 18th. certainly takes the plum cake
1t consists of 81 pages, many of them printed
in colors and the edition as d whole is
superior to anything Of the kind ever at
tempted in this country. The Herald has
simply out-done itself 1t always out-does
its contemporaries.
We have received from the publishers of
the Globe-Democrat, St. Louis, Mo, very
tasteful pamphlet, finely illustrated, des-
criptive of the work of getting out that great
daily newspaper. The frontispiece is a rep
resentation of the lofty Globe-Democrat
building, and opposite is fac smile of the
heading and portion OF the page of the
newspaper. The letter press is interesting
alike to the professional reader and the
non-professional reader, and the pamphlet
is to be carefully preserved.
To many New England homes the regular
visit of the Boston Weekly journal is par
ticularly welcome. The daily issue of the
Boston Journal stands at the head of the
daily papers published in that city, and the
same is true of the weekly edition. The
paper is specially adapted to the wants of
New England homes, and contains the vital
features of the news of each week, in add-

though Mr.. Guttman considers that the
method of purifying the saltpetre de-
scribed by him was unknown till the
thirteenth), gives a composition for

approaching that Of modern blasting

This receipt is quoted by Albertus
Magnus, and Roger Bacon gives vaguer
one, complicated by an insoluble ana
gram supposed to stand for carbonum
pulever. But all these writer's and
many others who mention such mix
lures are absolutely silent as to the
use of any such substance for the pro-
lection of missiles from tubes On the
contrary, they describe crackers and
bombs or maroons and say that these
were discharged into towns from bal
listac or catapults or mangonels, purely
for incendiary purposes. Mr. Guttman
has. however, found in the Wardrobe
Accounts of Edward Ill, between De-
cember %, 1345, and January 81, 1349 the
following entry in Latin:
ITO the same Thomas of Roldeston

of saltpetre and $50 pounds of live sui
phur"
This certainly proves the tradition
as to the use of guns by the English at
Cressey, 1346. A considerable body of
tradition ascribes the invention of guns
to Berthold Schwartz, but the state
ments of the chronicles vary in date
very greatly, and the most authentic
put it very much later than Cressy--i e.,
1853 and 1888 Curiously enough, Mr.
Guttman decides in favor of Schwartz
but against the chronicles that the
date must have been about 1313-one
which it is difficult to reconcile with the
date of Schwartz's death, given by the
Geographic Universelle as 13S4.-Athe-
