new YORK WORLD
Thrice Week Edition.

II :
The twice-a-week edition of the
New York World has been con-
verted into the Thrice-a Week. 1t
furnishes 8 papers of s pages apiece
or eighteen pages every week. This
gives l56 papers a year, and every
paper has . pages eight columns
wide or az columns in all. The
Thrice-a-week World is not only
much larger than any weekly or
semi-weekly newspaper, but it fur
nishes the news with much greater
frequency and promptness. In fact,
it combines all the crisp, fresh quail
ties of a daily with the attractive
special features of a weekly.

san CHOICE.

AT a meeting yesterday of the dele
gates who are to represent San Miguel
county on Monday next, M. A. Otero
vas chosen chairmanlof the delegation,
a most excellent choice, as he is in har-
mony with the party and an indefati-
gable worker In its interests. The del
egation is solid in the support Of John
5. Clark, as delegate to the St.\Louis
convention, as is the county, to a man.
San Miguel county is now in line to
again roll up the largest republican
majority of any county IN the Terri
tory, and in recognition of this service
to the party, she asks that her choice
Of one delegate to the St. Louis con-
vention receive liberal treatment ard
loyal support in the convention at AL
buquerque. There is no man in the
Territory who a or will mor ably
represent us in the ST. Louis conven-
tion than will John S. Clark. He is a
thorough republican, has never de-
his party for any clap trap
scheme and can always be relied upon
to spend his time, money and energy,
for the interests Of the party. He is
not an Office seeker in any sense of the
word as he has never held o. 'asked for
political honors in this Territory, and it
is in appreciation of his loyalty to the
party and the valuable service that he
will be to the Territory in the conven-
tion that San Miguel county puts for
ward his ZANE as her choice for dele
gate to the st. Louis convention.

The Boring of Glass,

Strong glass plates are bored through
by means of rotating brass tubes of the
necessary diameter, which are filled
with water during boring. To the water
there is added finely pulverized emery.
1t is said that thinner glass can be pei
forated with holes in an easier manner
by pressing disk of wet clay upon the
glass and making hole through the
clay of the width desired, so that at that
spot the glass is laid bare. Then molten
lead is poured into the hole, and lead
and glass drop down at once. This
method is based upon the quick local
heating of the glass, whereby it obtains
a circular crack, the outline of which
corresponds to the outline of the hole
made in the clay. Thecutting Of glass
tubes, cylinders, etc., in factories is
based upon the same principle. New

COLORS IN BATTLE.
Why the Soldiers In the English Army
Are Arrayed In Scarlet.

| Are Arrayed In Scarlet.
The scarlet uniform of the British in
fantry has been greatly criticised in re.
cent years, chiefly on the ground that
it exposes the men to needless danger by
disclosing their whereabouts to the en-
envy. The objection taken to the scarlet,
however, is groundless, and scientific
reasons are given why the prevailing
color is for all purposes the most suit
able that could be selected.
In the first place, scarlet affords the
best attainable protection against the
extremes of heat and cold to which SOL
diers are liable to be exposed. The darker
the color protecting warm body the
more rapidly radiation proceeds. White
would be the best color to reduce radia-
ton to a minimum, but white is barred
by other considerations, as are also all
the grays. Scarlet or red comes midway
between white and black or other dark
cOlors, while with reference to protec-
tion from the sun scarlet takes a far
higher place than any Of the blues,
greens or drabs and other shades often
used for military clothing.
Yellow and orange are excluded be-
cause these colors are particularly con-
spicuous at long distance. Although
scarlet or red is more conspicuous than
gray, when the sun shines directly on
the troops it blurs on the sight and is
consequently more difficult to hit.
With existing rifles the actual result
of fight is usually decided at dis
lance just outside the effective range of
the weapons. This distance lies between
600 and 800 yards. Nearer than that is
is impossible to close without replying
to the enemy's fire, and as soon as the
return fire whistles about the defend
ers' heads the possibility of aiming rap
idly and accurately decreases.
Therefore, from this point of view,
be hit is conspicuous or not, but from a
moral point of view it is a serious con-
sideration. Within 700 yards each sub
sequent advance is conditioned by fire
superiority already achieved, the de-
tenders are shaken, the time for count
ing heads is past, and the mental i'm
preston conveyed by the sight of the
assaulting troops becomes the main
point.
1t is a distinct advantage that our
men should bulk large in the decisive
stages of an encounter, and there is no
color which enables them to do this so
effectively as scarlet. On the whole,
therefore, every scientific consideration
justifies the retention of scarlet as the
best uniform for our troops. Strand

The Cause of Rainfall.

Rain is, as we all know, the moisture
of the atmosphere condensed into drops
large enough to fall with perceptible
velocity to the earth. The variation in
the sizes of the drops is dependent upon
the difference in the height from which
they have fallen and to the amount of
atmospheric disturbance present at the
time. If they fall from great heights,
the drops suffer gradual division into
smaller and smaller parts until they are
at last converted into mists. In calm
weather, with the clouds near the earth's
surface, the drops are apt to be large
and heavy. The formation of rain is in
general continuation or an enlarge
ment Of the processes by which clouds
and fogs are formed. The deposition of
moisture depends upon the cooling of
the atmosphere, but concerning the pre-
else process by which the cooling is eff
fected various opinions are entertained
even among those who have made me-
teorology a life study. In considering
the matter we have deduced our reck-
onings from what is considered the best
authority ON the subject. From this it
appears that the temperature of a given
mass of warm air is lowered in the or
binary course of atmospheric phenomena
by one or the other of the processes
mentioned in the following: By radia-
tion to the cold sky, by radiation to the
neighboring masses of clouds or the
cold ground, by mixture with cool air
or by the absorption of heat in the ex-
pansion of ascending columns of air.
Whatever the process may be, one thing
is sure-the cooling must take place be-
fore the moisture will collect into drops
of sufficient size to cause them to fall
from the mass of vapor in which the
constituent parts have been floating -

MCNAMARA, THE Elk PRIEsT.-Mc.
Namara, the eX-priest, arrived in the
city few days ago and began to make
arrangements for delivering e series of
lectures. Mcnamara some years ago
gained some notoriety by his crusa lie
against Catholicism, and in some places
he visited his lectures were the occasion
of some disorder. He, it is alleged,
rented Schuler's Hall from Mr.. Schu-
ler's son without definitely stating the
object of his lectures, and when Mr.. N.
Schiller became aware of their charac-
ter, and experimenting that disorder
might follow, he cancelled the contract.
The ex-priest now declares that he will
lecture nolens UolenS in other words,
that he proposes to take possession of
the hall tonight by virtue of his con
tract with Mr.. Schuler's son. OF course
the legal procedure would BIZ for the
ex-priest to enter suit for damages for
violation of covenant and let the
courts settle the matter. 1t is believed
that there is too much conservatism
among the church-going portion of the
community for it to be drawn into &C.
clesiastical broils, especially at this
time when the members of all denomi-
nations (as has been the case for many
years. are working shoulder to shoulder
in alternating the wants of those who, in
mid winter, are in our midst suffering
from adverse fortune.
