Waiting to See.

The Madrid order that postpones the execution of the Americans who were convicted of piracy by the Cuban author ites for being on the Competitor does not necessarily mean that they will be taken out and shot to death later on It simply means that II the Washington Government does not tell Spain in so many words to turn them loose or get ready to fight the United States, the Spanish Minister of War and Marine will find that the proceedings of the court martial were regular and order General Weyler to 70 on with the original pro. grammo. Hence the lives Of the men under conviction hang upon a thread, both ends oi which are held by President Cleveland.
 The Competitor is the first privateer, 90 called, that the Cuban authorities have caught, and since the capturing party made great haste to destroy the ship's papers, it is possible that she was not en gagged at all in carrying munitions of war to the rebels. But whether she was or not, the Spanish Governmen: should he given to understand that the execution of the three Americans now under sentence of death for being on board the Competi tor would be immediately followed by the landing of United States soldiers up. on the island of Cuba.
 It is little humiliating to the pride oi our people that Spsin's prompt action in ordering the postponement of the execu tion was more because British subjects life is involved than because of any ac ton on the part of this government, and this, ioo, in the face of the fact that both houses of congress have already passed. a resolution recommending the recognition of Cuban belligerency. But then con gress is republican body and the ex. ecutiye end of the government is demo cratic. Spain knows whom and whom not to fool with.-Csll.

Gigantic Engineering Feat

The most stupendous feat of mining
engineering undertaken in the Lake
Superior iron ore region in many years
Is the redemption of the Mansfield mine
in the Crystal Falls district by chang
ing the course of the Michigamme river.
The Mansfield is the only producer of
Bessemer ore in the district. The de-
post extends under the bed of the river.
and three years ago its workings were
inundated by the stream breaking into
the underlying levels. At that time
the lives of 20 men were lost. The
course of the river will be diverted by
the construction of a new channel, ., 300
feet in length. The water will be
turned into the new channel by a
mammoth dam, located | 200 feet above
the shaft and prevented from return
ing to the mine by a similar dam 900
feet below.

1t is announced by the French Acad-
envy of Sciences that it is possible TO
photograph through so-called opaoue
bodies with ordinary lights. A kero-
sehe lamp will do it. M. Lebon asserts
that he has taken photographs in this
manner for several years. He proceeds
as follows: Inside a box with rather
thin sides, he places a sensitized plate
Behind the negative in front of the box
he places an iron plate, and on the
other side of the plate a lamp. After
three hours exposure an image is
found. On development this image Is
indistinct, but If a sheet of lead be
placed behind the box and rolled over
to touch the iron plate so as to form
a metallic shell, the reproduction OF
the negative for the same length of ex-
posure is quite distinct. This experi-
ment cannot be accounted for on exist
ing theories" NJ. Lebon has ascer-
tanned that the image is not due to any
phosphorescent light which might have
been stored up in the negative. The
experiment will not succeed IL heat
rays only are used.
