At the point of Notwithstanding to the
theory, as Professor Gates explained
1.-THE particles of ether move about
most rapidly and are furthest apart
owing to the SUMS energy. Thus the
ball swings toward that point Of less
density. This 1t does every time show
ing that 1t Is acted upon by some sort
Of matter. The Professor regards 1t as
proof positive that the ether is a ma
ter.al substance and composed Of par
ticles which are thickly crowded to.

This Is the substance which fills all
space-whose wave motions make light
and transmit electrical energy from the
sun to the earth.
His laboratory IL a very remarkable
establishment. 1t is crowded with in
struments and apparatus for psvcho-
physical research. Professor Gates has
several boxes which are filed with H.
lusions Of various kinds. Most of these
are illusions of the eye, but there are
others which deceive the touch. the
taste, and other senses. According to
Professor Gates human beings have
eight senses-the sense of cold, the sense
of heat, the sense that a muscle is NOV
ing, touch. taste, smell, hearing. and
seeing. And, by the way, he has col

A SHIP ON WHEELS.
How French Inventor Proposes to
Move nj n (,reat Rate.


A French builder has Just put the fin.
ishing touches in the Call Iron Works
at St. Denis, to a vessel with which he
expects to literally revolutionize the
science Of aquatic locomotion. Ac-
cording to a formula we'll known to
science, the resistance of water to the
progress of ship increases in a direct
ratio to the square of the speed, and
thus renders hopeless any effort to make
travelling by sea as rapid as travelling
by land. NJ. Ernest Bazin conceived
the idea that this difficulty might be
overcome II we applied the same prin-
c!ples to steamers as to locomotives
Our ships are practically sledges. Why
should they not be coverted into wheeled
carriages?
The model vessel which he Is lust
completing, after many years Of experi-
ment. consists of platform about 120
feet long by "a feet in breadth. This is
supported upon three pairs of wheels
made Of hollow steel, rather more than
30 feet in diameter, and presenting to
the waves an edge somewhat resembl.
ing In outline the keel of a ship. The
propulsive force is given by screw
driven by an engine of 750 horse power,
which also causes the wheels to revolve
The inventor calculates that he loses
only 40 per cent. of the linear progress
sive speed developed by the rotation of
the wheels. and that If the latter were
25 feet in diameter his ship would travel
at the rate Of fifty miles an hour.
In the course OF a few weeks this
strange craft will be launched in the
Seine and towed to Rouen, whence it is
intended to make an experimental voy-
age by way Of Havre to the Thames.
II NJ. Bazin reaches his destination in
safety, navel experts will no dobt be
curious to see the craft

BLIND MADE TO SEE.
by Means Of TRANSMISSION of VifreOus
Humor from n Rabbits Eye.

/
| There are six people in Hamburg
whose syesight has been restored by
Professor Deutschmann through infu-
sion from the eye Of living rabbit.
Upon one Of these patients the opera
tion was tried successfully on both
eyes. These persons were all nearly
blind when operated on.
| AS described to the New York Jour-
nal correspondent at Hamburg by the
assistant of Professor Deutschman,
the new operation Is as simple as 1t is
startling. Professor Deutschmann does
not attempt to replace diseased re-
tina, nor does he claim that he can
substitute the retina from q rabbit for
that OF a human being.
At the same time he does not hesi-
| tate to operate on the retina itself
| by making such inclsions through II
as may be necessary to assure the sue
cess of his process. He has foEnd that
blindness frequently ascribed to dis
ease Of the retina is In reality often
caused by detachment Of the latter.
Such detachment and shrinkage of
| this delicate membrane result from
absorption of the vitreous humor which
| constitutes nearly nine-tenths of the
| body Of the eye itself. This vitleOus
| humor Is enclosed in a sac, making
what is commonly called the eye-ball.
and through 1t the image passes from
the lens to the retina.
| The latter Is retained in place by the
full rounded body of the sac of vitreous
humor. When this vitreous humOr loses
It's normal volume through absorption
the retina stretched around it shrinks,
having no support OF its own, and thus
the sight is finally destroyed.
The great discovery which Professor
Deutschmann has made Is that the de.
| ficiency of vitreous humor in the hu-
man eye can now be supplied from the
eye of living rabbit
The TRANSMISSION Is accomplished
| through a simple rubber tube. Before
this is done, however, the most deli
cate kind Of eye surgery is necessary.
Cocaine is first administered to the eye
| of the patient to be operated upon.
This is for the purpose of rendering 1t
insensible to pain.
The operating surgeon then cuts into
the sac of vitreous humor in the eye
OF his patient with steel canula. This
| cuts through the sclerotic, through the
choroid and through the retina.
The eyeball OF the patient is turned
down so as to expose as much of the
top surface as is possible. The cutting
is done from the top, In a place that
| is never seen under normal conditions.
An assistant Folds live rabbit, and
with the steel ca 'ula he cuts deep into
the sac of vitret s humor in its eye,
which almost exactly corresponds with
the eye Of the human being in its con-
struction and texture.
The eyes of the rabbit and patient
are then brought as close together as
possible. A small rubber tube Is IN
troduced into both incisions, being
pushed deep into the sac Of vitreous
humor in either case.
A gentle pressure Of the finger upon
the eye Of the rabbit Is then sufficient
to pump the vitreoNs humor into the
rubber tube and thence into the hu-
NOR sac of the patient. In less than a
minute the deficient quantity Of vitre-
| Gus humor can he made up from the
| eye of the living rabbit.

CLOSE UP THE RANKS.

On Tuesday next tho people of
the United States will decide the
most momentous question that has
been given them for solution since
the formation Of this republic.
The campaign now drawing to a
close has had no precedent Oh
one side are srrayed the money
powers of this country and Of Eng
land, expanding their millions
lavishly for. the sole purpose of de-
bauching the people of the United
States by purchasing the election
with view to enslaving the PEG.
pie of the United States and plac-
ing them under vassalage more
cruel, more wicked and more des-
tructive than was that of the Afri-
cali slave before his emancipation.
They are arrogant and clustering,
domineering and threatening, de-
claring that it this election shall
go against them that they and the
cohorts of plutocracy will not sub
nit until after the contest is again
decided by the bullet. The situa-
ton is one of the greatest gravity
and most momentous to every true
lover OF his country.
On the other hand we find ar
rayed the people, the great produc-
ing masses of the citizens Of these
United States, determined in their
honesty and convinced Of the JUS
tice of their contention, with q grim
determination that, let come what
may, their liberties shall not go
down without struggle. Can the
plutocrats buy this noble body of
men? Can they bride them to de-
bauch and sell their liberty and
the liberty of their children and Of
their children's children? Can
those true Americans be induced
to betray this beautiful land with
its free institutions into the hands
of its enemies? If so, the morning
star Of liberty will set in a sea of
blood. If so, humanity's last hope
is gone and the world is turned
over to its destroyers, for upon the
result of this election in the United
States depends the life of the
tree Of liberty.

THE FORMER MCKINLEY:
Here is also another one on Nc.

Here is also another one on Nc
Kinley.
To his Toledo speech, which has
gone all over the land, showing his
Inconsistency on the silver ques-
ton, another has been dug up from
the record, delivered at Carnegie
Hall, Allegheny, PEI, Oct. Is, 1890.
Here is what he suid about that
'cowardly makeshift," the Sher-
man law:
eve passeaa silver bill, which think,
is the best silver legislat ion that has
passed in the Amer lean Congress. 1t
ntilizes every ounce of silver in the
United States and make the treasury
note issued on that basis redeemable III
gold and silver, and good III all public
debts and legal tender for all purposes.
When Cleveland went out II ceuts was
the value of the silver dollar. After this
bill passed the value of that same dollar
advanced to 80 cent. To my mind it is
the most liberal legislation passed on this
money question that has ever been sane
toned in congress 1t gives the people
more currency and gives them more
volume of money and puts silver more
on par with gold than in eighteen years
and the time is coming when gold and
silver will be marching side by side, do.
ing the business of the country"
The Harrisons, McKinleys,
Thurstons, are all in the same
boat, and so'is any other man who
opened up his mouth for the re-
publican cause in all the years
which the party stood for bimetal-
lism and the double standard. How
could any party shift position as
the republican party has done, and
not have its orators stranded high
and dry on the rocks of inconsis-
tencies? The policy advocated by
Mr.. Bryan is the same as advocat-
ed by Mckinley six years ago.

VorERs must be on their guard

VOTERS must De on their guard
early and if there is any reason to
keep their own counsel, do so.
Farmers particularly, being
thought unsuspicious, will be
asked who they are going to vote
for and should they give away
their intentions, if there is any
string that can be pulled Oh them
it will be pulled before election.
1t is for the farmers own interest
to be cautious as to telling any
person who he intends voting for.
Money will be used plentifu]ly for
any kind Of purpose. The best
way to break up the practice of
buying votes, is in the opinion of
many, to take what is offered by a
man who would bride a voter.
Keep it and vote against him.
