Arthur J. Sewall, of Bath, Me-. the
Democratic nominee for Vice Presi-
dent, is 81 years old, but is rugged
and we'll preserved and might pass
for man a decade younger. He
prides himself on his descent from an
old and honorable family-one of the
Oldest in America, in fact-and he
points to business career devoted
to the maintenance of an industry in
which America was supreme until
the fortunes of war intervened to
nearly destroy it. Following in the
footsteps of his father, he has for
many years been a successful ship
builder and has strivent to restore the
United States to supremacy in that
industry.
The first American ancestor Of the
Democratic nominee was John Sc
wall, who came from Coventry, Eng
land, in 1884, to take possession of
tract of land in Massachusetts gran
ted him by the crown. This favor of
the English King it pointed to as an
evidence that this Sewall colonist
must have been a man of considera-
tion in the mother country. Mr..
Sewall grew up among the scenes in
the shipyards and the sea shore, and
in due time was inducted into the
mysteries of shipbuilding business.
His firm is now the owner of forty
vessels turned out by its yards. 1t
sails these vessels on its own account,
and manages the carrying trade
which they do. 1t enjoys the dis
tinction of having built the first
steel sailing vessel ever launched in
America. She is called the Dirigo,
which is the motto of the state OF
Maine.
Mr.. Sewall's enterprises on land and
sea prospered, and in the accumula-
tion of wealth he sought means for
it's reinvestment, and engaged in
many lines Of business outside ship
ping. There is hardly corporation
in Sagadahoc county, Maine, of
which he is not a stockholder and
director. He has long been interest
ed in railroads, and has been presi-
dent of the Maine Central and other
lines. He is still director in num-
ber of railroads. He is at present
the president of national bank in
Bath, and is, of course, one of the
chief men of the city.
Mr.. Sewall believes the demoneti-
zation of silver in 1878 was a financi-
al mistake, and in spite of his wealth
he has been an ardent advocate of
free silver for the last four years. He
has been prominent in politics for
many years, but has never held any
political Office. Several years ago he
was the candidate of the Democrat
ic members of the Maine legislature
for United States Senator, but as
there was no possibility of his cleo
tion, the incident was little more
than an acknowledgement of the in
debtedness of his party, and testi-
Inony of his admiration.

X RAYS CAN BE SEEN.
Their Effects on Different Parts of the
Human Eye.


Human Eye.
DR.. Brandes of the University of
Halle has succeeded in rendering directly
visible the K rays discovered by Pro-
fessor Roentgen. The observation made
by Professor Salvioni, an Italian physi-
cist, that lenses are in a very slight de-
gree penetrable by Roentgen's rays,
suggested to DR.. Brandes the idea that
the invisibility might be due to circum-
stances connected with this fact. He ac-
cordingly resolved to test the effect Of
Roentgen's rays on lenseless eyes.
There are many people who have had
the lenses Of their eyes removed as a
remedy for extreme shortsightedness or
for cataract. A girl who had had this
operation performed on both eyes, but
in whose right eye remnant of the lens
had been left, allowed the experiment
to be tried upon her.
Professor Dorm, whom DR.. Brandes
had interested in the investigation, sub
jected the girl quite unexpectedly to the
rays, and, when the strong current
passed through the tube, which had been
totally darkened, she declared that she
saw light with her left eye. Professors
Dorm and Brandes at first thought it
possible that spark had leaped across,
but, when this had been rendered impos-
sible, the girl continued to declare that
she saw light.
On further trying the experiment. the
two savants saw the light too. They
then continued their Investigations and
ascertained that Roentgen's rays really
affect the retina. If we place our head,
completely inclosed in an entirely
opaque vessel, near the source Of the
rays, we see light even with the closed
eyes, and we see it most clearly at the
periphery. Moreover, we continue to see
it even when a large aluminium plate,
which would completely exclude electric
rays, is placed between Hittorf tube
and the eye. Utter darkness, on the
other hand, results if thick pane of
glass, which, as is well known, is only
in very slight degree penetrable by
Roentgen's rays, is placed between the
tube and the closed or covered eye

Taking the Wheel Apart.

What though the rain weeps down the pane,
And boulevards are mushy gray,
And cycling hopes are worse than vain
This wet, unhallowed, dismal day
Still shall my soul know Joy and peace,
And sweet delight shall thrill my heart,
As, armed with rags and wrench and grease,
take my bicycle apart.

Which focuses upon wheel

When remove the nuts, or screw
The sprocket off, or cut theNehain,
Or pull tho inner tube to view
And try to put it back again.

To readjust the mud guard strips,
To cut deft patches out of corks
Wherewith to mend the handle grips.

Them with piece Of gunny sack,
And am happy and serene
Until seek to put them back.
On, rainy days do I'll my heart
With rapture which deem sublime.
For then taife my wheel apart
Just as did the other timel
file and rub and twist and chop
And wrench and pull and paint and scrape,
And next day take ID to the shop
Andhave II pat back into shape.

hand over her eyes and seemed lost in
meditation. Ever and anon her lips NOV

her garish costume curiously, the red of

Across the bridge two good natured,
smiling men from the country got in, seat

each of them a nickel. The man nearest
the box reached over, touched the little
woman in the corner, held out the nickels
with "Thank you, ma'am," and sat
down. On receiving the nickels the little
womans face wreathed itself In sweet
smile, and bowling graciously to the good

"If, on the other hand. ''you can not put
value into anything by legislation" and the
silver dollar will remain q 50-cent dollar under

ut is useless to attempt to disguise the fact
that the business of the country is done on
silver and paper. No gold, to speak of, is
used in ordinary business. The government and
few eastern banks keep supply on hand for
spectators, but the masses scarcely see gold
coin. When the farmer borrows money from
the bank or the loan agent, he receives silver
silver certificates or national bank notes, rarely
greenbacks, for they, too, are necessary to the
spectators for extracting gold from the treas
urv. If free coinage will not change the value
of the silver dollar, then the bank and the loan
agent will get the same kind of money they
loaned; if free coinage will double the value
of the silver dollar then the banker and the
loan agent will get the benefit and should not
complain 40 long as the borrower is satisfied"
