loud cries for Foraker, Foraker from
all parts of the hall. The senator
elect from Ohio, the chairman of the
resolutions committee, did not reply to
the speech Of the Colorado senator.
without word he moved to lay the
substitute offered by Mr.. Teller on the
table. Senator Lodge, of Massachus-
etts, seconded the motion.
The motion which is not debatable
had the effect Of calling off further de-
bate, and Senator Teller demanded a
roll call of states. His demand was
quickly supported by Senator Mantle
on behalf of Montana and Delegate
Cleveland, Of Nevada. The first state,
Alabama, voted Is to 7 in favor Of the
motion.
Conventions Climax
After the convention had voted down
the silver mems substitute for the gold
plank and adopted the platform the
great climax OF the convention was at
hard. Senator Teller elbowed his way
to the platform AS his form appeared
a hush fell upon the thousands in the
galleries, while the delegates on the
floor leaned forward attentiyely. AS
a matter of privilege Chairman Thurs
ton asked that Senator Cannon Of
Utah, who had also made his way to
the platform be allowed to read per-
sonal statement prepared by the silver
men. There was not murmur of dis
sent when the request was put As
Senator Cannon began to read the
yaledictory the hall was so still that
his voice reverberated to the uttermost
limits Of the hall. Mr.. Cannon is a
stalwart young man with curly brown
hair, dark hair and mustache. There
was little enthusiasm on the floor, but
several times the galleries broke loose.
As he declared impressively that he
and his associates would cling to the
fame let the came go where 1t would,
a Pennsylvania delegate shouted
"goodby" and one Of the North Caro-.
lima delegates shouted take a train
for Chicago THE galleries hooted and
Chairman Thurston was Obliged to in
terpose and appeal for order.

AS Thurston announced that McKin.
ley received 6611s votes the convention
burst into another furious demonstra.
ton. Finally Thurston recognized
Senator Lodge who moved that the
nomination be made unanimous In a
graceful speech in which he pledged
the support of the followers of Reed to
the nonainee. General Hastings of
Pennsylvania, followed in behalf Of
the Quay contingent. Chauncey De-
pew arose to second the motion on be-
half OF New York, but the chairman
recognized Plat, who in a simple SEN
tence seconded the motion an pledged
the state of New York to Mckinley.
Eloquent Dave" Henderson, Of Iowa
spoke for Allison. Shouts for Depey
and Hanna came from all parts of the
hall. Both responded. When the mo-
was put, the delegates rose en- masse.
The general impression was that the
convention would take a recess at this
point and thousands of people left the
hall, but the delegates here determined
to close the work of the convention be-
fore adjourning. They supported
Lodges motion to proceed with the
nomination of vice president immedi-
ately with great unanimity. 1t was
then 615 and the convention had been
in session eight hours. Lodge also
moved That speeches be limited to five
minutes. Samuel Fessenden, of Con-
necticut, was recognized and nominat-
ed by Burkeley Judge Fort month";
ated Hobart Humphrey, of Illinois,
second the nomination of Hobart
Randolph of Tennessee, nominated
Evans. Smith, of Kentucky, and la
Toilette, of Wisconsin, seconded the
nomination of Evans. Hobart received
533 IL votes ON the first ballot. The
nomination was then made unanimous.
Bushnell, OF Ohio offered resolution
that Thurston be chairman of the COM
mittee to notify Mckinley and Far
banks to notify Hobart, which was
carried. The convention adjourned
sine die at 1850.

ever was secured from the antique
structure.
He estimated that the engine, work
ing with steam at pressure of 2R
pounds to the square inch, developed
a little over 50-horse power, and that it
weighed, all told, about IL tons. This
would give about 500 pounds of ma
terial to every horsepower.
The cylinder of the engine is 5h
feet in diameter and the stroke is
six feet. The cylinder is of iron, cast
in one piece, and has conical bottom,
designed to exhaust the water.of con-
densation.
The whole weighs about six tons.
The piston moves a walking beam built
up of heavy oak timbers, bolted together
and trussed with iron rods, and the
walking beam weighs about five tons.
On each side of the walking beam
is a wooden section of a circle.
On one section is the chain which car
ries the piston rod and on the other are
the chains which carry the three pump
rods, for the engine works three pumps,
each lifting water from one level to an
other.
In the bottom of the huge cylinder
are three valves. The first is circular
and serves for the introduction of the
steam. The second is slide valve for
injecting the water which condenses
the steam, and the third is a flap valve
for exhausting the water of condensa-
ton.
The first two valves are moved by
small walking beams connected by rods
and chains to the main walking beam.
The main walking beam is so bal
anced that the pressure of the live steam
is just sufficient to make the piston-rod
end lighter than the pump end, and the
beam tits down on the pump side, lift
ing the piston to the top. Of the cylin-
der.
At the proper point and time the slide
valve permits a jet of water to enter the
cylinder. and the steam condenses in.
stantly, making a vacuum. Atmospher.
ic pressure then causes the piston to
descend, pulling down that end of the
walking beam and lifting the pump
chains, so that the work is actually
done by atmospheric pressure, and not
by steam.

CYCLISTS CAMPING TRIPS.
How the Thing Has Heen Reduced to .
Science by Wheelmen.

-
Science by Wheelmen.
4 traveller lately returned from the
west reports that the cyclists of that
region are just now taking extended
camping trips. Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, he says, are full of them, rowing
around with their outfits strapped to
their wheels. The regular triangular
case to fit into the diamond frame Be
used, and if there are number in the
party the camp implements are dis
tributed among them and carried with
ease. Some also carry light l<napsacks,
and what seems difficult way of trans
porting camp outfits becomes in reality
efficient and labor saving. Small tents
of light gossamer or silk, which fold up
into an exceedingly small package, are
used. The cyclists are also provided
with rubber capes, which completely
protect them from the rain when rid
ing. Fishing tackle is easily carried,
and the wheelmen on that account make
fishing their favorite sport, though
some of the more daring are seen with
shotguns strapped to their wheels. 1t
IS astonishing into what regions of poor
roads but good camping these novel
tourists have penetrated, says the New
York World. No one has ever seen them
cross an unbridged river, but they I'M
doubtedly have some way as clever as
their other methods. They often take
their wheels to the nearest railroad
and ship them to some point where they
meet them by boat for canoing is by no
means impossible for camping cyclists.
The movements of these wheelmen show
that camping has been reduced to p
science to be enjoyed by all classss Of
sportsmen.

ago these ancient steam-makers were
discarded and a boiler of more modern
type is used.
The veteran is so ricketv and its joints
are so old and stiff that the pressure
in the boiler is never allowed to go above
21a pounds TO the square inch.
The engineer who has charge of the
old engine told Mr.. Donkin that his
father and grandfather preceded him as
engineers, so that the old engine has
had three generations of one family to
oil it up and pack it's valves.

From 500 pounds of steam engine to

record made by mechanics and engine
builders during the last $50 years.
| Prof. Langley, who recently demon

BABE DIES OF SENI.ITY.
Only Eight Months Old, Bet Had Beard
and Facial Lines of Old Man.

ana Facial Lines or Old Man.
Physicians of st. Louis have discov-
cred a remarkable phenomenon in tho
person of a child eight months old
which died of senile debility. The child
was Herman Robert Burch, the son OF
Enoch Burch, fisherman who lives in
a little cabin on the bank of the Mis-
sissippi river just opposite Bellefan-
taine cemetery.
The child, which was brought to DR..
Randall, of the North Side dispensary,
two weeks ago for treatment, was a
monstrosity. Its body had ceased to
grow after birth, but the head was fully
developed, the face bearing all the
marks of an old man. The head was
covered with coarse hair and on the
face was struggling beard.
DIR. Randall states that the babes head
was perfectly developed in every way,
even to the bones, which were hard and
brittle, as with the case of people oil
advanced years.
He did not have great opportunity
to study the case, as his attention had
not been called to it until the evolution
was complete. During the time he was
watching it, however, he searched in
vain for parallel case. All of the med
ical works he could find gave him alb
solutely nothing of similar nature
and the physician has merely let the
matter pass as one of the strange freaks
of nature.

A German newspaper boldly asserts
that the ruler of the Turkish empire is
lunatic, and gives good and sufficient
reason for it's belief. During his fits of
insanity his predominating passion is
frenzied hatred against the Armen-
ians. So terrible have these fits be-
come that the sultan's attendants often
dare not enter his cabinet. In fact,
all their energies are required to dodge
their infatuated monarch, who rushes
from hall to hall. talking to himself.
A short time ago, it is added, the sultan,
in a fit of madness, shot a courtier who
happened to make a motion with his
arm and which the sovereign chose to
consider suspicious. Sometimes, on
the other hand, the sultan has fits of un-
comfortable merriment, particularly
when he has reason to believe that the
powers cannot agree on measures
against him.
