President Cleveland's address at the
Princeton sesqui-centennial was very
timely and appropriate. His text was
the duty of educated men as citizens
He pointed out that a government
resting on the viii and universal suf-
frage OF the people has no anchorage
except in the peoples intelligence, and
on this account the college graduate
has imposed upon him a clear duty,
that of being constant monitor warn
ing against popular rashness and ex-
cess. A particularly hearty common
dation was given to the Presidents de-
claration that there are natural laws
and economic truths which command
implicit obedience. and which should
unalterably fix the bounds of whole
some popular discussion and the limits
OF political strife, and that the know
ledge gained in our universities would
be sadly deficient If its beneticiaries
were unable TO recognize and point out
to their fellow citizens these truths and
natural laws, and to teach the mishiev-
Gus futility Of their non-observance or
attempted violation. There was sound
sense in his remark, while conceding
the good already accomplished by our
educated men in purifying and steady
ing political sentiment, that their work
i'm this direction would be easier and
more useful II less spasmodic and occa-
sional

The Farmer Pays the Freight.

The Western Freight Association,
representing 80 railroads, has given
notice of an advance OF rates on wheat,
corn and other cereals, as well as on
cattle, from all points to Chicago, begin
ming Nov. l. The rate ON wheat from
Kansas City to Chicago is to be advanc-
ed from l6 TO 10 cents, on other cereals
the same and on live stock from three
TO five cents. The advance was agreed
upon at meeting in Chicago OF Tues
day last and every effort was made TO
keep the action of the railroads secret
until too late TO have any effect on the
election.
So there goes the farmers prospective
increase in profits which were predicted
TO follow the recent advance in wheat.
The railroad presidents, those great
and disinterested friends of the farmer
and the people, want big slice out of
that advance in wheat. The fact that
the slice comes of the farmer will not
be forgotten by him. For after all it is
the farmer that pays the freight.
The railroads would have had better
case for themselves aud their candidate
IL they had postponed the advance till
after the election.

our American Pessimists.

The progress ofour own presidential
campaign has been marked by the wall
OF many pessimists whose voices have
been heard along the outer fringes OF
the general conflict. In the East these
pcssimists are practically all in one
political camp. while in the West they
are all on the other side. The Eastern
pessinists have been bemoaning the
fearful decline in the moral character
Of the nation as indicated by the des-
peratc wickedness OF the Chicago plat
form and the shocking deprayity Of the
millions OF citizens who are supporting
William J. Bryan. The Western pes

EDISON'S FLUOROSCOPE.
Portable x-Ray Machine for Use in
Surgery.


Following up his work with the Y
rays, Thomas A. Edison has designed
a portable machine for the use of sur
geons by which they are enabled to
look directly at the bones of the arm
and leg without the medium of photo
graph. Mr.. Edison's microscope, as it
has been called, will permit hospital
surgeons and physicians to examine an
injured limb and to see the interior of
the arm or leg while using their instru.
ments in operation, so that no unneces-
sary cutting or probing will be done,
says the Philadelphia Record.
The new machine consists of double
tube vacuumpumpa attached to awooden
upright, the exhaust mercury pipe rur-
ming into small wooden box alongside
the pump, in which the tube is placed.
The electric current is furnished from
an ordinary battery and induction coil
under the box or in any other convenient
place, and the wires leading up through
the bottom of the box make it impos-
sible that the surgeon or patient re-
ceive a shock. The surgeon would turn
on the current and place the part of the
body to be operated on across the top of
the box with the tube belonging to the
apparatus. The Horoscope would then
be fastened over the surgeons eyes.
When placed over the eyes the fluoro-
scope looks like a large pair of spec
tacles without lenses. The outer end
OF the apparatus is covered with paper,
coated with the tungstate of calcium
crystals. The thin board cover of the
box offers no effective resistance to the
passage of the rays, and it would be
possible for the attending surgeon TO
make an examination of the injured
part at leisure to ascertain the exact
spot of the injury, and to use his instru-
ments with precision in removing 4
foreign substance or in setting broken
bone.

the lifetime of the testator, except In
the Rhine provinces, where q will en-
tirely Photographic is valid. Wills are
opened by the court for interested par
ties when they produce a certificate of
death, or at any rate six weeks after
the testator's known death. After Sc
years have elapsed since the deposit
of the will without information of the
testator's death, the supposed heirs are
summoned by advertisement to appear.
If in tx months no one comes forward,
the will is opened to ascertain whether
charitable institutions are mentioned
in it. If this be the case, such bene-
ficiaries are called upon to prove the
death of the testator. The will is then
closed again. When the fact OF death
is established, the will is opened once
more and published. A certificate of
heirship is issued by the court on ade-
quate proof. If the proof is inadeqate,
or no heirs come forward, further no.
tice of three months is given in the
official gazette; and should this receive
no response, the state regards the prop
erty us derelict, and takes possession of
it. Even then, if a rightful heir ap-
pears within 30 years, his title is ac-
knowiedged under certain restric-
tions. Continued possession by the
state for these 30 years gives a valid
title, if not disputed in the meantime,
in which case it is temporarily in the
custody of a special official. AS there
are several hundred courts thus holding
estates, it is essential that claimants
should ascertain accurately which
court holds the estate in trust. AS far
as can be learned by the embassy, after
careful inquiry, there is not at present
any large estate that for more than 30
Yeas has been awaiting distribution,
and every effort to discover alleged I'M
claimed estates has been fruitless. The
consuls have permission to investigate
claims to estates when their official
duties permit, ard if remuneration for
their services be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Solitary Gum Gatherers of Maine.

There is nothing more solitary than
the life of the men who go into the
Maine forests to gather gum. Their
cabins are in the most remote town.
ships, even away from the paths of the
hunters and from the camps of the
loggers, for the gum scrapers prosper
principally upon territory which the
lumbermen have not mangled. One of
the most noted Maine gum harvesters
has been in the woods IS seasons. He
builds a cabin in the fall when he is
about to begin work in a new territory.
1t is generally a small one, but he takes
great pains to make it one that can be
easily kept warm. One year he passed
five months without seeing a single hui
nan being, and at the end of that time
found that another man had been in a
camp less than four miles from him all
winter. They did not see each others
tracks for the reason that the other fel-
low was trapping and confined his
iourneyings to a valley where large
stream and its branches gave him a
field for his operations.-Golden Days.

IN A CALORlMETER.
A. w. Smith Acquires Data for Physiolog-
ical Statistics.

A. w. Smith, after twelve days and six
hours in the respiration calorimeter
at Middletown, Conn, came out the
other afternoon and reports himself
none the worse for the experience. The
first two days he devoted to rest, then
three days he gave his attention to hard
mental work in calculating results of a
four days of rest, three days of intense
muscular exercise, ending with three
, days of rest.
The food and drink, the inhaled and
exhaled air and all the products given
off from the body were measured and
weighed, and the energy received by
the body in the form Of food and drink
and that given off in the excretory prod
ucts and in the heat radiated from the
body were also measured. While the
data thus obtained have not been fully
worked out, much has been learned III
relation to the quantities of food ma
terials used by the body when at rest
and when the person is engaged in in
tellectual and muscular work, and also
upon the relations of energy to the
body functions. During the experiment
Mr.. Smith lost two pounds. At its close
he told those in charge that if it had not
been successful he was willing to stay
in the box another week. DR.. Benedict,
in charge, is, however, satisfied with the
results, and this will close the expert
ments for the year.
