Pound Something wetter Than Smoke.

The Morrisville fire department was
called out Monday evening to find the or
igin of smoke pouring out of window in
the Union House. The smoke came from
a stove which was connected with a pipe
that was once attached to an old chimney,
now blocked up. The man who built the
fire wasn't aware of the fact that there was
no outlet for the smoke. Very vivid illus
tration Of the prohibitory law Of Vermont
and its application by way Of hotel bars,
was found. In attempting to gain access
to the attic the firemen found third floor
room locked. II was forced open and found
to be full fledged bar, well stocked.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
\ New Light Discovered.
VIII Penetrate wood, Flesh or other
Organic Substance.

WIN Penetrate wood, Flesh or other
Organic Substance.
Prof. Routgen of the Wurzburg univer-
sity, Germany, has discovered a light,
which, for the purposes of photography,
will penetrate wood, flesh and most other
organic substances. The professor has
succeeded in photographing metal weights
which were in closed wooden case, also
mans hand which shows only the bones,
the flesh being invisible. 1t is said the
process is simple. The professor takes
so-called CroOke's pipe, viz, a vacuum
glass-pipe with an induction current going
through it, and by means of rays which the
pipe emits photographs on ordinary pho
tographic plates. In contrast with the or
binary rays of light these rays penetrate
organic matter and other Opaque substances
just as ordinary rays penetrate glass. He
has also succeeded in photographing hidden
metals with cloth thrown over the cam
era. The rays penetrated not only the
wooden case containing the metals, but the
fabric in front of the negative. The pro-
fessor is already using his discovery to pho
tograph broken limbs and bullets in hui
man bodies.

"Eperlau $685. French coach stallion,
was sold at auction at Brandon Saturday
for $115. This horse was bought by a
stock company of Brandon men about two

those who bought stations in similar way
in many New England towns, including
Middlebury, Randolph and Montpelier.
Louise and Lizzie Wilson, 20 and IL,

Kittie Griffin, daughter of John Griffin,

During the year 1S94-95 the farmers in
Bristol and vicinity received more than
$45, 900 for potatoes. The number of car
loads shipped from that station was 225.
By January l, 1895, the buyers had shipped
about 1875 car loads, worth about $25, 900.
UP to the present time this season only 10
car loads have been shipped and the farm
ers have received only about $1,000. Hence
there is more than 1000 less money in
circulation there than at the same time
one year ago. The market is still dull and
the prospects for the future are not very
bright.

The people have voted not to elect
a president who will not protect inter-

The latter would have governed with

of the fact that business men now have
solid basis upon which to plan the in
yestments that have been waiting. The
currency and tariff policy of the gov
eminent is practically settled for the
next four years. Merchants can buy
with feeling of certainty that existing
values will not be disturbed. Manufac-
turers can invest in raw material with
the assurance that there is to he no up
heaval in the markets.
President Cleveland will protect the
gold reserve until Maj. Mckinley is in
augurated four months hence, and if
necessary to take immediate measures
to replenish the exchequer after his
Inauguration President Mckinley will
call congress IN special session to frame
tariff law that will at once yield ade-
quate revenues to run the government.
Millions OF dollars have been waiting
for Mckinley. The people have de-
clared for him by overwhelming ma
