feat, however, is very simple. and may
easily be accomplished.
The first thing is to insert needle in
a cork so that the point barely comes
through. If the larger end of the needle
projects at the upper end of the cork,
snap it off with pair of shears, so that
it may be flush with the surface of the
cork.
Place a nickel upon two blocks Of
wood, as shown in the cork, and put the
cork on it, with the sharp end of the
needle down, of course. Give the cork
quick, sharp blow with the ham
mer, and the needle, being unable to
bend owing to the support given it by
the cork, will easily go through the
nickel. A silver quarter may be read

WHY ENGLAND is GREAT.


a Native Oners an ExplanatlOn-Br1taln' Q
Naval Superiority.
How was it that half an island over
which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed
into the worldwide empire over which
Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore
most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it
must be referred to the qualities of the
race, their energy and adventurous
spirit, their capacity to colonize, to rule
subject races. and to administer their
affairs. That race was sprung of sue
cessive seafaring invoders of these is
lands who were trained for generations
in the arduous defense of these shores,
and taught to achieve naval superior
ity as a necessity of their position.
AS early as Edward III. the sover-
eighty of the narrow seas was asserted,
and conceded as matter of course by
the people of the low countries. AS
centuries rolled on, the insularity OF
our position became more marked as
our possessions in Europe dwindled
away. The drill sergeant, who is the
artificer of German fortunes, has had
no ascendency in these islands, whose
preoccupations have not risen from mill
hary empires on their boundaries. Nava!
superiority has been the guarantee of
our shores, and at the same time the
foundation of an empire which has
grown up beyond the seas. The same
qualities which achieved ordered liberty
at home spread commerce, settlements
and empires abroad.

New York, Aug. 21--Conventions were held in this city tonight by the republicans in the thirty-five assembly districts for the purpose of electing delegates and alternates to the state convention. The old fued between the Platt and anti-Platt forces broke out anew. In most of the districts two sets of delegates and alternates were in the field and while in a majority of districts the warfare was quite tame in the others the fighting was fierce and hard. The Plat men as usual carried all their old districts and they claim to have secured few additional dele mild contest developed as to the in- structions
 The Platt delegates wanted the men instructed for Ham. Fish for governor, with Aldridge as a second choice, if instructed at all, but it was under stood that MT. Platt preferred that no instructions be given thus throwing the fight into the state convention. Of the 135 delegates the Platt men claim IA. conceding a possible q to the antis. Of these 21, however, at least are said to be doubtful. Among the features of the evening were the calling out of the police and the holding of bolting con- ventions.

EX-GOV. FLOWER PRESIDENT.
One Hundred and Fifty Prominent Colo
 Men Organize


 Watertown, N. T., Aug. 21.-Ex-Gov- ernor Flower was elected president of the Sound Money club tonight The organization has over 15O members. In his speech of acceptance Governor Flower called attention to that part of MT Bryan's speech in New York in which he seeks to allay the apprehen- sions of the debtor that free silver leg islation might not be enacted before the creditor could call in his loans or fore close his mortgage.
 Mir. Bryan said if the people declared in favor of the immediate restoration of bimetallism the system could be in- augurated within a few months by vir- tue of the presidents power to convene congress in extraordinary session. MT. Flower called this an appeal to the debtors dishonesty. He said that ob- viously MT. Bryan believed in the de- basement of the currency which would allow the dishonest debtor to repudiate his debts. He declared MT. Bryan could not reconcile this with the assertion in the prior part of his speech that free coinage would raise the price of silver bullion to s1.29 per ounce, measured by gold.

 Upper Red Hook, N. Y, Aug. 21.-The Bryan and Sewall campaign win be opened in earnest tomorrow at Tivoli by Mir. Bryan. With the exception of his Madison Square address the speech, it is said. will be the most important since his nomination. He will deal di- rectly with the issues of the campaign, and will probably have something of a spicy nature tc say. The meeting has been largely advertised and a big crowd is expected.
 MT. Bryan's visit to Major Hinkley, chairman of the New York state com mittee, now at Winnisook Lodge. in the CatSkills, will be made on Monday. As to the import of the meeting between Major Hinkley and himself MT. Bryan is n-communicative but politicians hereabouts are attaching much impor- tance to it. There is no doubt MT. Bry- an and MT. Hinkley will talk over the condition of affairs In the Empire state
 Major Hinkley. while one of the gold leaders at the Chicago convention, has been non-committal since MT Bryan's nomination, and his invitation to the candidate is looked upon as positive proof that he will support the ticket. The significant part of MT. Bryan's vis- it to Winnisook Lodge lies in the belief that Major Hinkley Is acting for Sena- tor Hill. and the claim Is made that 1t foreshadows the senator's action at Buffalo
 runor was brought here to-day that Senator Hill would attend the Bryan meeting in Albany on Tuesday, where the candidate will make a speech, but it could not be confirmed.
 With MT. and Mrs. Perrine, their daughter and some friends MT. and Mrs. Bryan to-day drove out to Spring Lake, a couple of miles from Upper Red Hook, to try their luck with the rod. MT. and Mrs. Bryan rowed off to a se- cluded part of the lake, and while Mrs. Bryan fished her husband produced pa- per and pencil and devoted himself to writing Neither he nor Mrs. Bryan would say that he was composing, but everybody knew it was his letter of ac- ceptance. Mrs Bryan caught a good sized nickercl and a two-pound bass, The candidate then took a rod himself and managed to get a pickerel. He did no more writing and after going ashore made his first attempt to ride bicycle, with disastrous results.
 The party reached Upper Red Hook at dark. tired and hungry. MT, Bryan found Congressman SulZer from New York city awaiting him. With MT Sul- ger was Professor Van Burr Denslow. who formerly occupied the chair of political economy at the Chicago uni- versity and who is now writer on economics. MT. Sulzer and Professor Denslow spent half an hour at MT. Perrine's house with MT Bryan. MT. Sulzer when he came out said: T can't say thing. If I could talk I would talk"

Rumor That Former Has Swallowed the

 Boston, Aug. 21.-The Boston Con- mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow re- garding Western Union and Bell Tele- phone:
 We understand upon the best au- thority that the Western Union Tele- graph company controls at the present moment the Bell Telephone company. The importance of such control will at once appear to everyone, who appre- ciates how the two have come in co1n-. petition during recent years. The West ern Union dividends have become threatened through the competition of the Bell company, and of the Postal Telegraph company. but it has long been a fully arranged plan for the Western Union to secure control of the telephone company.
 "The two together can probably make it very warm for the Postal Telegraph company, or the financial outcome may be combination of all three MT. J. Pierpont Morgan has been the largest purchaser of Bell Telephone stock at auction here, but the manner of pur- chase has been very cleverly conceal ed. Western Union stock has ruled weak on the New York stock exchange during the past few days, but this weak ness is thought to be part of the pro- pram of those conducting this gigantic deal. The combination of these two concerns will mean an almost impreg- nable monopoly of both the telegraph and telephone business in the same hands,"

His opinion is of great length and labors to present the independence of towns in their own government.
