Brain Photography.

DR.. Carleton Simon of New York City
claims to have photographed his own
brain and its workings by process which
he discovered and has been working upon
for three years but which he has not yet
perfected. He denies that he made use of
the cathode or N-ray, although he admits
that he was stimulated TO perfect his ex-
periInents by the discovery of Roentgon.
He tried various methods for illuminat-
ing the brain and killed not IA few animals
i'll making his experiments.
When he learned that it was proposed to
photograph the human brain by adapta-
ton of the Roentgen method he worked
increasingly to be the first to accomplish
it by use of his own process For two
days and half he INDUCED In but two
hours sleep, and when he applied the
electricity to his own brain he was not
certain what the effect upon him would
be, and although one person offered to be
a subject he refused the offer prcferring
to risk himself. He says he is not ready
to tell Just what his discovery is but did
say: 81 produce the effect by attraction
of the light and propulsion through the
brain substance. At the time of photo
graphing the whole internal chamber OF
the brain Is lighted up

Gladstone and Armenia,

1t has been said that every great leader
appreciates dramatic effect. But there
does not appear to be any good reason
why he should not. And if there be q
sense of dramatic effect in the expressed
wish of Gladstone to again enter Parlia-
menu solely as the champion of Armenia
1t certainly is not discreditable The
probability of his doing so seems doubtful
and the probability of his being the means
OF liberating Armenia from thralldom
right away seems even less probable.
Nevertheless the appearance of Gladstone
IN that role would awaken the British
conscience and would spur the tardy and
halting efforts of the British foreign
office. The blue book reveals the fact
that Russia has all along opposed the use
oil force to compel Turkey into good be-
havior The appearance of the Grand Old
Man upon the scene would not lesson
RUSSIAN seiiishness or cause her to forego
her purpose unless it should fire the Eng
ilsh heart to the extremity Of war. Nor
would IT be pleasant to see this famops
leader OF men in his declining years
INCREASING that for which by reason Ct

ntted. Yet we hope the report is correct
and that Mr.. Gladstone will act upon his
desire IN this matter. The conscience of
England needs stimulus, the Salisbury
regime needs shaking up and the
atrocities in Armenia cannot be forced
upon public attention any too viyidly,

Recall Willis.
On. Y. World, dem. J. ]

There is only one reparatioa that can
be made for the refusal of United States
Minister Willis to attend the anniversary
celebration of Hawaiian independence
The President should recall Minister
Willis and replace him with an envoy
who would be acceptable to the Hawaiian
government.
The fact that the republic of Hawaii is
feeble and practically defenseless does not
justify powerful government like that
Of the United States in INDUCING in con-
temptuous insult In the contrary, it
imposes on Us the duty Of respect and
protection.
When Minister Willis was appointed he
represented the policy that pulled down
the American flag and sought to prop up
the throne Of the preposterous monarchy
with American bayonets. 1t would be a
graceful and just act to supplant him
with a minister who represents the SYM
pathy OF the great republic for the little

Maine Republicans.
(Boston Journal. !

The anniversary of Lincoln's birth
seems to have injected great deal of
fresh enthusiasm into the ordinarily
vigorous Republican party Of Maine
The gathering in Portland last evening
was animated by the entirely harmonious
| though double purpose, of recalling the
virtues and political achievements OF the
first Republican President, and of rehears-
ing the virtues and political achievements
of the next Republican President
From Abraham Lincoln in the past to
Thomas B. Reed in the future there is
nothing but honor to the Republican
party. The stagnation of affairs, induced
by the Cleveland administration, is but
an interregnum of misfortune and dis
grace of which the Democratic party alone
| is to blame.
Names loyalty TO Republican doctrines
has never been more widely recognized
| than today. Her representatives at Wash
ington are performing the most important
duties which Congress can place upon its
members. That the sons Of the Pine
Tree State should meet on Lincoln day to
pledge themselves to support their great
leader for the high office which Lincoln
held was very timely expression of the
sentiment which has spread from New
England to all parts of the country. The
Lincoln Club and the State of Maine
Reed Club are great credit to New Eng
land common sense and New England
patriotism.

Presidential Electors Must all be
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. %, 1886.

To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, correspond
nominated in State convention. and the re-
manning electors, corresponding to the men,
bers Of the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law,
all Conventions are portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that cam
didates to be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomtna-
ton by Convention representing less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
the candidates Of q party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.

Hard as life is now, there was a
time when it was harder. A man
who had been away from his native
home in an eastern state for perhaps
two-thirds Of his life time lately paid
a visit to the old place. He realized
the change for the better in the Gus
toms there when he recalled how it
had been in his boyhood. Then he
said lawyers worked in their Offices
all the evening and thought they
were wasting time if they took a
night off. Instead of closing at 5 or
S o'clock, factories kept humming on
till 7:3O day by day, and people did
not think it could be any other way.
Now the man finds that among both
lawyers and factory people alike the
evening is given to recreation. It
may be said, too. that wages
have not gone down at all, though
the hours of labor have diminished.
The gentleman predicts that in a
hundred years from now nobody will
work any in the after noon. We
NAV hope he is correct. Certainly
when the world is truly civilized
there will be as much time for rec
reation and improvement as for work.
Then mankind will be healthy,
beautiful and happy.

The anti saloon sentiment seems to
be very strong in the South, more so,
perhaps, than in the North. In South

orily. Some of the papers that were
not friendly to the measure have been
forced to admit that it has either
driven out or starved out the ''blind
tigers The liquor is sold or dis
pensed'' by sa]aried officials who have
no pecuniary interest in the sales, but
who, like any other officials, have
simply to do their duty and draw
their salary. We. are told that in
South Carolina 1.-The administration
has demonstrated the ability Of pub
lie officials to suppress all bar-rooms,
and con6ne the liquor business of the
entire state to ninety dispensaries
which are open neither in the evening
nor on Sundays, and in which there
is not only no treating but no drink
ing" The profits of the business are
given to the support of schools. This,
it seems to me, is better than the IL
cense system, as it takes the business
altogether out of the hands of inter-
ested persons and places the sole man
agement in the hands of the people.
Many reformers would oppose such a
measure or anything short of absolute
prohibition; but it is we'll to remem-
Der that all great movements require
time-the world was not made in a
day. Besides, every forward step is
not only an advantage gained for the
present, it serves as an educator, a
moulder of the public sentiment, and
opens the way for greater victories in
the future. ROBERT SHORE.
