Cleaning Poultry Houses.

In regard to cleaning poultry houses
/ find my plan suits very well. l use
as an absorbent coal ashes and land
plaster. The drop boards are cleaned
once day, and the dropping put in one
corner Of the barn cellar, on the floor of
which has been spread about foot of
coal ashes to absorb he moisture. After
the droppings are put on this pile
land plaster is sprinkled on them every
day as soon as they come from the hen
house. The drop boards are sprinlxled
with plaster after being cleaned. The
floor of the hen house is cleaned twice
a week and what is taken out is put in
the pig pen. The floor is then covered
with leaves and hay seed and cut hay
in which the hens are kept scratching.

FOR QUAY FOR PRESIDENT.
Gov. Hastings Is in Faver of the Senator
if He Is a Candidate.

if He Is a Candidate.
Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 12.-Gov. Hast
ings declared in an interview yesterday
afternoon that he is in favor of Senator
Quay for the presidency if he is can
didate. Recently the governor was
assured by Senator Quay that if he de-
sired the vote of the Pennsylvania
delegation in the next national con-
vention he Quay would be for him,
but the governor declined. He said:
81 knew there was no show for my
nomination and was not hunting for
compliments. Senotor, Quay's can
didacy would have a twofold effect in
this state. 1t would reunite the party
in broad and lasting foundations, which
every true republican would welcome,
and would help to dispel the idea
abroad in the country that because
Pennsylvania is the leading republican
protection state and alway safe there
fore she should never have a presi-
Dental candidate. Pennsylvania
constant republicanism should be the
best argument in favor of a Pennsyl-
vania candidate. / will be for Quay if
he is willing to be candidate"

EDISON'S EXPERIMENTS.
Silver the Only ImperviOus Substance to
the X Rays Quo of Thirty Tested.

Orange, N. j., Feb. 12.-Thomas A.
Edison this morning said that he is not
yet ready for his attempt to photo
graph the human brain. He has de-
cided that when everything is in readi-
ness the experiment will be made after
midnight, when no one is around but
his workmeu, as the presence OF others
would tend to make the subject nerv-
GUS Mr.. Edison tested the Thompson
ian English scientist) theory, that X
rays are really sound rays or waves.
He took steel funnel ten inches long
and placed it in front of a powerful
vacuum tube, the small end opposite
the plate, and the test was partially
successful He got clearly defined
spot with penum bra and another be-
low it, WHICH showed that the rays
had not been detected. He says that
he is puzzled to explain this Mr.. Edi-
son has also made interesting expert
ments on thirty different substances,
and the results showed perfect
penetra ton of hard and soft
rubber, celluloid, gellatine, shell
lac, boric acid, amber. camphor
UAN OlOOO Nu1CohiZSO hOAO
and gutta percha showed penetration
to a less degree, while the penetration
of slate, iron and bismuth was trifiing.
He also found that antimony, iron,
brass, tin, lead, platinum and copper
showed very faint action and that sill
yer seemed absolutely impervious Mr..
Edison's next experiment will be that of
photographing in the ordinary way the
human hand. A hand will be placed at
one end of a light proof box with a
frame around the former so as to ex-
clude all leakage of light. He says he
will endeavor to discover whether a
shadow photograph cannot be obtained
in this way of the same kind as by the
Roentgen rays. Mr.. Edison says he
has succeeded in discovering that X
rays are just as powerful at seventeen
inches from the vacuum tube as they
are close to it.

(From a Staff Correspondent

From Staff Correspondent.)
Havana, Feb. 12.-Captain-Gene
Weyler last evening received delega-
tion of the political parties, foreign
consuls and commercial bodies. To the
consuls he gave assurances of the most
friendly nature, and promised to give
prompt attention to any cases brought
to his notice by per sonal calls, with
out witing for formal communica-
tions or red tape proceedings. num-
Der of political prisoners who were re-
Gently arrested in the province of San
tiago de Cuba, and who were brought
here for deportation by the steamer
sailing to-day, were released by order
of Gen. Weyler. His action was due to
the fact that it was found that the
charges against the prisoners were
false. Gen. Sabas Marin, who acted as
captain-general in the interval between
the departure of Gen. Campos for Spain
and the arrival of Weyler, has sailed
for Porto Rico to assume the governor
ship. 1t is said that Gen. Canallas will
be recalled to Spain on account of

|. A. W. CONVENTION
Sterling Elliott Of Boston Elected
President Over Mr.. Wilson.
LOUISVILLE NEXT PLACE OF MEETING
Growth of the National League During the
Past Year EncOuraging-Finance
in Better Shape-State Char.
ter Recommended.

Baltimore, Feb. 12.-The National
assembly of the League of American
Wheelmen has succeeded in disposing
of lot of important matters. First in
Importance was the election of officers,
in which Sterling Elliott of Massachus-
etts gained a victory over his only COM
petitor, Archibald G. Willison of Mary
land, who was candidate for re-elec-
ton. Later, the convention passed
upon the respective claims of Louisville
and Toledo for the honor of entertain
ing the pedalers in their midsummer
meet, in which Louisville won. Pre-
ceding these events was the very i'm
portant report of the racing board and
the announcement of the reinstatement
of the suspended Brooklyn rider, Chas.
M. Murphy. The best part of the re-
port of President Willison was devoted
to advocating the incorporation of the
league. 1t had always been great
drawback to the officers that the league
was not Incorporated, and several
schemes which they desired to put in
operation had to be abandoned on this
account. President Willison recon-
mended that the assembly pass reso-
luton for the appointment of a COM
mittee to ask the Maryland legislature
for an act of incorporation. He said
that by being incorporated in this
state by an act of the legislature the
league could continue on the same lines
as heretofore and would not have to
make any changes, as it would if it
were Incorporated in many other states
or by the regular methods of incorpora-
ton.
Membership and Finance.
The treasurer's report on the fnan-
cial status of the league showed a cash
balance of $4,235. The cash balance on
hand last year was less than thousand
dollars. The receipts from new mem
bers and renewals were $14, ,736; from
other sources, $1,451; total, $16,1S7.
The total expenses were $11, 1852. The
racing board received from all sources
last year 1881 and paid out So, 164,
showing that the board is self-support-
ing. Secretary Bassett's report showed
that the membership of the L. A. w.
has increased 1888 during the year.
The total figures are now 40,042. New
York made a phenomenal record in
new membership and jumped from
third place to first, with a total mem
bership ofi1O,414. New Jersey also made
big gain. Attention is called to the
fact that the list embraces 1,47O lady
members, gain of 7SO.
