NICHOLAS Tesla, the New York cleo
trician and inventor, has succeeded by
means of the x rays. in seeing through
the bodies of three men placed one be-

watch the uses to which this marvellous
discovery will be put. The Charleston

Large Seizures of Liquor.

COLUMBIA, April 30.-The dispense
ry people were happy today. Two
wagon loads of liquor seized about
Charleston were received here this
morning. One wagon load was made
up of the lot seized at Rantowles. The
authorities report that they are receiv-
ing more liquor from Charleston than
ever before. The royalty that is offer
ed for seizures seems to be the incent-
i've that leads to most of these large
seizures.

RAILWAY coNSvnucIIoN IN ,soo.

The Railway Age notes that 1896 has
tions in the way of new railway enter
prises. and says that the total number OF
lines built in thirty-eight States and
Territories during the year. from Jan
uary 1st to December 3lst. were only 1G3
with a mileage of 1.S02,39.
1t is gratifying to know. however,
| that more than onehalf of all the lines
built during the year were In the South
ern country.
According to the Railway Age it is u
curious coincidence that The mileage of
new trackslaid in 1896 Is almost precisely
the same as that laid in 1895, the re-
turns for that year showing 1903 miles.
For ten years our contemporary says,
the railway builder has Travelled 4
steadily descending road Of activity.
from 1900 down to $500 miles. and At
last he may feel sure that the bottom
has been reached. The bottom will not
drop out. There Is room and there will
be need for great increase Of railway
l!nes-by whatsoever motors they may
be operatcd-and with the return Of
norma! financial conditions. the annual
record OF construction will begin to
show an upward tendency.
The great area OF the South con-
tiEues Ia receive the benefit of n large
mileage Of new roads than any other
section. ana the field is still an inviting
one for railway enterprise and will con-
tinuc so for Very many years to come.

WHAT HAS GERMANY TO Do w.rls

Tho London Times correspondent
writing from Paris. informs his paper
that the Washington Government has
been given 10 understand. in u friendly
way. that the Powers will not remain
passive should The United States rccoS-
nize Cuban independence. ana that uc-
cording to his information, "Germany
Is even now ready To take sides with
Spain should the United States side
with the rebels" This is news. if true,
and supposng that it is true, the qucs-
tion arises what has Germany To do
with the matter anyhow? Besides
whence did Germany learn that liz
Powers would side with Spain in the
event of this country recognizing the
Independence Of the Cuoans? There Is
no doubt but that Germany, as well
as the whole Of Europe. Is jealous of
the Great Republic. hut ii is not he
lieved that the Powers cares To be-
| come embodied in war because of any
| action the United States may take re-
| gardiug the troubles between Spain and
Cuba. In fact, upon receipt in Wash
! ington of the news furnished by the
Paris correspondent Of the London
Times, the German Ambassador there
FASTENED to deny any such position
| being assumed by Germany as is
charged.
| 1t is fact, however, that Spain has
| been sounding the Great Powers of Eu-
rope as to their course in event of a
struggle between itself and the United
states and 1t is possible that the Paris
correspondent of the Times concludes
that consent To help Spain has been
| given, but such is not the fact.
