SILVER QUESTION NOT SOLVED

Great European Currency Authority
London, Nov. 9.-The Vienna correspon-
dent of the Times says:
Professor Suesse, the greatest of Euro
pean authorities on currency questions
writes letter to the Neuesweiner Tage-
blatt entitled, "a Word of Warning to
Europe's Diplomacy" Professor Suesse
agrees with the English Bimetallic League
that McKinley's election involves a tri-
umph for international blmetallism, but
he regards Mr.. Bryan's defeat as fortu-
nate for the United States and for the in
tercourse of the world in general. Free
silver, he thinks, would have driven all
the gold out of America, and the intro
duction of an exclusively silver currency
in the United States would have been .n-
evitable for an indefinite period. This
would have divided the world into two
camps-one the great silver field, com
prising the whole Of Aemrica and the
whole of Asia. and the other the gold
area, including Europe, portions of Africa
and Australia.
Professor Suesse says that 1t is puerile
to consider such questions in the light OF
gain and losses of mine owners and that
it is equally puerlle to consider that the
election has solved the silver question
either for America or for the rest of the
world.
An editorial in the Times, based on q
dispatch from New York, warns Europe
not to expect Mckinley to allow his pro
lection views to fall in abeyance but 81
considers that the passage of a new tariff
bill is uncertain and remote, and think.
| there is likely enough to be renewed at
tempts on the part of the United Statel
government to push forward scheme o
| international bimetallism, because" say
| the Times, at is obviously Americas in
| terast IN do something for silver"

REGULATED BY A STAR.

A Simple Way of Telling When a
Tfmepiece Runs Accurately.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Some very old printing that was brought
to light the other day contains curious sus-
gestions for making certain calculations
that will interest many people.
An easy method of correctly regulati a
timepiece by the stars is suggested as fol-
lows:
AS the motion Of the earth with regard
to the fixed stars Chose that twinkle) is
uniform. timepieces can in a most simple
manner be correctly regulated by the stars
with greater facility than by the sun.
Choose a south window from which any
fixed point, such as chimney, side of a
building, &c, may be seen.- To the side OF
the window attach piece of cardboard
having small hole in 1t in such manner
that by looking through the hole toward
the edge of the elevated object some fixed
star may be seen. The progress Of the
star must be watched, and the instant 1t
vanisheS behind the fixed point the OBJ
server must note the exact time 1t disap-
pears. The following might the same star
will vanish behind the same object three
minutes and fifty-six seconds sooner. If a
timepiece mark . o'cleckswhen the star
vanished one night the following night 1t
will indicate three minutes and fifty-six
seconds less than o. (.
II the 'timepiece be fAster or slower than
the indication of the 5ntar, then it has
gained or lost the indicated difference. If
several cloudy nights follow the first OBJ
servation Of the star, it is only necessary
to multiply three minutes fiftysix seconds
by the number of days that have elapsed
since the observation, and the product de-
Quoted from the hour of the clock indicates
the first night clear enough for the second
observation, and gives the time the clock
or watch ought to show. The same star
can only be observed during few weeks
for, as 1t gains nearly an hour in a fort
night, 1t will III a short time come to the
meridian in broad daylight, and become in
visible.
In making the observation, care must be
taken that a planet Is not chosen instead
of star. Additional to the fact that the
light of fixed stars twinkles, while that of
planets is steady because refiect ted, a sure
means of distinguishing between them Is
to first watch certain star attcntiveIy for
a few nights. If it changes its place with
regard to the other stars, 1t is Il planet,
since the fixed stars appear to maintain
the same relative positions with regard to
each other.
