FAVOR THE NEW ELECTIONS BILL.
Members of the House Think II
Good Measure-COmmfttee Gossip.


The Senate will be occupied again to-
day in the discussion of Mr.. Hale's cleo
ton bill. and as the patron has gwen
notice that he will speak two hours In
closing the debate there is little proba
bility that the compromise bill agreed
upon by the Democratic conference Will
be taken up before Monday, II then.
There is no sort of doubt of its passing
the Senate by large majority, and the
sentiment in the House appears TO be
strongly In its favor. 1t will meet with
some opposition among the Democratic
delegates from the South Side. but this
opposition will not be very strong. and
there Is every reason to believe that II
viii be ready to go TO the Governor by
the end of next week.
The elimination of the constable feature
giving the illiterate elector the right to
choose any one of the judges to help
prepare his ballot, is popular move
among a majority of the delegates. and
1t Is understood that some OF the oppo-
sition have sign.fied their willingness TO
vote for the Senate bill.

RELEASE OF A GYPSY MOTH.
4 Careless Frenchman's Experiments Have
Lee to Trouble.

q Careless Frenchman's Experiments Have
Lee to Trouble.
On a certain Ill omened day in 1869
gentle breeze rippled through the
streets of quiet town in eastern Massa-
chusetts. 1t left chimneys unframed
and hardly rippled tree, yet if it had
been cyclone it could hardly have done
more damage, for in bare little frame
tenement house ON a side street stood
Pandora's box full of troubles waiting
to be spread broadcast over the land,
and the breeze furnished the needed
key. Presently the owner Of the house
and of Pandora's box, Frenchman,
known to his neighbors for his curious
experiments in silk raising and for his
absorption in the study Of strange in
sects, was seen searching anxiously in
the grass outSde his window. People
who saw him said that he seemed much
disturbed at the failure of his quest.
Well might he be, for he had just let
loose one Of the plaques of Egypt upon
fair and fertile land. He had lost 'le
zigsag," and the new world has gained
the gypsy moth.
Mr.. Trouvelot, the silk grower Of
Medford, can hardly expect to have his
name pleasantly remembered among
his quondam townsmen and country
men. but he should be given credit both
for intelligence to foreseo the conse-
,quences Of his negligence and for the
candor Immediately to give notice of
the danger to which the public was ex-
posed. But his warning fell on deaf
ears. No one realized that the pest,
which is q nuisance rather than dam
ger in Europe, would gain such head
way in new home, and, freed from
its hereditary enemies, was to deviate
wherever it went. 1t would have been
economy, if the future could have been
foreseen, to appropriate $1,000, 600, if
need be, to quarantine the whole neigh
borhood, to fell the trees, to rae the
houses TO the ground, to pillow the fields
under and leave that part of the town
desert. But no one rose to the eme1-
gency till it was too late. Springfield

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
The Startling Result of Firing n Cannon
Buried Under Water.

The Startling Result of Firing N Cannon
Buried Under Water.
The most curious experiment ever
made with piece of ordnance was ut
Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark; on this an armstrong gun of the
10 pound pattern was mounted. The
gun was then loaded and carefully aimed
at target-all this, of course, during
the time of low tide. A few hours later,
when the gun and the target were both
covered with water to depth of six
feet, the gun was fred by means Of cleo
tricity. We said Gained at target,
but the facts are that there were two
targets, but only one was erected fo-
this special experiment, the other being
the hull of an old vessel, the Griper,
which lay directly behind the target and
in range of the ball. The target itself
was placed only 20 feet from the muzzle
of the gun. 1t was composed of oak
beams and planks, and was 81 inches
thick.
In order TO make the old Griper in
vulnerable, sheet of boiler plates 3
inches thick was riveted to the water
logged hull, in direct range with tho
course the ball was expected to take if
not DETECTED by the water On all OF
these-the oaken target. the boiler
plates and the old vessel hull-the effect
of the shot from the submerged gun
was really startling. The wooden target
was pierced through and through, the
boiler iron target was broken INFO pieces
and driven into its backing, the ball
passing right on through both sides OF
the vessel, making huge hole, through
which the water poured in torrents.
Taken altogether the experiment was
an entire success, demonstrating, ms it
did, the feasibility of placing submerged
guns in harbors in time of war and do
ing great damage TO the vessels which
an enemy might dispatch tosuch points
for the purpose of Smelling cities. In.
