NEW YORK, Sept. 90.--Nicola Tesla,
the noted electrician, has succeeded in per
feoting his SO called electrical osollators
or machines for the economical production
Of rapid electrical vibrations BY means
of the osollators he is confident that his
lighting by glass bulbs without the usual
fllament Of the inoandescent lamp will be-
come practicable. They are besides oapa-
BILE of developing far more powerful
Roentgen rays than was heretofore posi-
BILE with the old apparatus. and they lend
themselves TO numerous other uses such
as photography and production of ozone
and other chemical combinations and TO
electro therapeutic treatment 1t is proba-
BILE that these latest contributions of Tesla
will prove more fruitful and farreaohing
than his previous achievements

CANTON, o., Sept 30.-Rain fell here
inoessantly, and demonstrations on the
Mckinley lawn were entirely out Of the
question -Four Of the visiting delegations
announced were postponed. The soldiers
from the home at Sandusky and residents
OF the city arrived in a special train OF
seven coaches. They were taken TO the
Tabernacle, where Major Mckinley met
them. Addresses were made by Sergeant
Hopkins on behalf OF the soldiers and by
l. W. Hull on behalf Of the citizens
In response Go these addresses Major
MCKINLEY said in part:
II wish I might be able TO make fitting
and suitable responses to the gracious
words Of congratulation and good win
which have been spoken In your behalf by
Sergeant Hopkins and Mr.. Hull IL Is
Indeed a kind and generous act OF COM
radeship that brings on this unpleasant
day the members Of the Ohio Soldiers
and Sailors Home of Sandusky TO this
city TO pay me a visit. My comrades. /
fully and heartily appreciate 1t. No body
OF men who have visited me In the last
three months have given me more pleas
ure or touched me more deeply than my
old comrades of Sandusky Home When
you entered the servioe, you were younger
than you are now Thirty-fve years ago
most Of you enlisted, and 81 years ago
most Of you were mustered out of the
service You were then fresh and young,
with ths red winel Of early manhood
mantling your cheeks. You are older now,
but your hearts warm to the country and
the old flag. just as 1t did in 1851, not for
the pittance that was paid You entered
not for glory or for popular applause but
you entered the service from ths purese
and highest motives OF paaietlsm, that
no harm should come &c year country.
That was the motive Of every old soldier. "

they asked were "Why did he do it9" and
"What did he do with the money!" and
the only person who can answer these
questions is the embezzler, George Nor.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

There is no better leveler of caste
in the universe than that of our
common schools, where the rich, the
poor, the high and low mingle to-
gether on the plane of equality. A
poor mans daughter plays with a
rich man s son, without q thought
of the difference which wealth plays
in the social world. Our common
school system is not as perfect as it
should be. When the time comes
when it is possible for every child in
the land to secure practical educa-
tion without leaving home, then our
schools will be more useful. Among
the most urgent needs is that of the
consolidation of school districts so
as to provide better facilities in
country districts. Without an in
crease of taxes schools could be
consolidated, and thus give the
scholars better facilities for securing
an education. No school should
have less than two teachers; for in
all districts are scholars from six to
sixteen years old, who must be
taught according to their ability. In
every school are children learning
their letters and from that up to
those who would like to study high
or mathematics. You see how i'm
possible it is for one teacher to do
the work that ought to be done in
the district school. Two teachers
could do this work well. For years
Massachusetts, has tried the plan of
having less districts, and hiring the
scholars brought to school in wagons
from the outlying districts, and it
has proven a great success.
