SOME SHARP WHACKs.


x Record representative found Tyre
Glenn. former United States marshal
of the Western district Of North Caro-
lima, and at present a member of the
Republican State Executive committee,
Saturday night and induced him to say
a few words on the situation.
Perhaps you Republicans see now
where you made mistake in not de-
manding the United States Senator for
the long term said the Record, re-
ferring to Buffers recent ultimatum.
YES; but don't you know that we
were not in condition to demand any
thing, with half dozen gentlemen
willing to take it for thirty days. If
any of our full grown Republicans
had taken stand such as you indi-
cate, then Butler would have traded
with one of the small boys. There is
more cheap politics in North Carolina
at present than there has been in years.
/ am afraid we are not making a favor
able impression outside of the State
The conduct of some of the men high
in the councils of the party has been
such as to carry the impression that
some small men have attained high
positions in the party and have been
drinking yeast since their unexpected
prominence.
II see that Dockery men are hor-
rified at the election of j. G. j.. Harris
as secretary of the committee"
YES; they appear to have over
looked the fact that Col. Dockery en-
dorsed Mr.. Harris for postmaster at
Raleigh in 1889, and went to Washing
ton in his interest One of these gem
tlemen has taken special pains to att
tack me for voting for Mr.. Harris, not
withstanding this same gentleman,
while he was chairman of a Democratic
judicial committee left his district to
distribute bogus tickets in interest of
a Republican candidate in another dis
trict. IF Loge Harris ever did any
thing in politics worse than that it
does not appear on record. Loge Har-
ris' life from the time Col. Dockery
endorsed him to the time / voted for
him as secretary of the committee has
been the dream of an angel compared
with what Dockery said it had been
previous to 1880. / have no disposition
to wash dirty linen in public and think
the first step toward success in this
State should be the moving of our
steam laundry into the back yard. We
could then wash our dirty wraps there,

WAGES AND Production.

A signed editorial by Carroll ID.
Wright. leading the March bulletin Of
theDepartment Of Labor, exposes the
fallacy Of d statement which has been
going the rounds of the press for the
last two or three years purporting to
give the relation Of wages To the cost
of production. According TO this state
ment the average rate of wages per
year paid in the United Staes is $347,
and the average product Of each labor
er is valued at $1,sss, giving the en-
ployer 82.2 per cent, and the man who
does the work and produces the results
17.8 per cent.
Col Wright shows that some anna
teur statistician has taken the aggre-
gate wages from the census of 1880.
and, dividing them by the total number
of employees, has found a quotient of
S347. From other tables of the same
census, dividing the aggregate value Of
products by the number Of employees,
the qtlotient, 1906, gives the product
per employee. The assumption IS then
made that the difference between
these figures goes to the employer, no
account, whatever being taken OF the
cost of materials, deterioration, etc.
Col. Wright takes the figures Of the
census of 1890 and finds that the gross
product per capita for the number Of
employees engaged in manufacturing
and mechanical industries was 2,20z,
and the average wages were SAB. In
stead of the difference, St,750, going to
the employer, he shows that Of the to-
tai product per capita, 20.f8 per cent.
went to labor, 55.08 per cent. for mate
rails and 24.74 per cent. To miscella-
neous expenses, salaries interest
profits. etc

Portrait Painting.

The modern practice Of having por-
traits of individuals seems to have
sprung up naturally enough with the
popularity of easel pictures, and this
again was much influenced by the in
PRODUCTION of oil painting Whether
Antonello OF Messina really acquired
the art from the Van Eycks or from Luz
cas- of Leyden, as some have conjectured,
is very doubtful, but it was certainly
he who introduced the new art process
into Venice, whence it spread all over
Italy
We have now come to the full devel-
opment of the art of painting that sprang
up toward the close of the fifteenth CEN
fury, and which was chiefly embodied
in four great men-Leonardo, Raphael,
Michael Angelo and Titan. All of these
were great portrait painters in the true
sense of the term, with the exception of
Michael Angelo, who seldom conde-
scended to easel pictures and who never
worked in oil.
The great advance made by the six
teenth century painters over the pre-
raphaelites was IN the much fuller
utilization of the resources of chiaros-
were mostly clear and light, and only
so much shading was introduced as was
necessary to give relief to the figures
The value of shadow in itself was hardly
appreciated-in fact, the whole concep-
tion of painting was to show everything
as far as possible in full light.
The great innovator in this matter
was Leonardo. Being, as he was, as
much a man of science as painter, the
problems of light and shade interested
him in both capacities, and. he investi-
gated them in something OF the modern
spirit By the aid of the knowledge thus
acquired he succeeded in giving to his
figures a roundness and relief that had
been hitherto unknown. In fact, he car
ried it SO far that they are sometimes
overmodeled.- Nineteenth Century.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, who
died at her home in Hartford, Conn.,,
recently, was woman of great and
varied intellectual power. But of
course the one work with which her
fame is mainly identified is "Uncle
Toms Cabin.v 1t first appeared as
serial in The National Era, published
at Washington. A young Boston pub
Usher, John P. Jewett, saw some of
the early numbers and asked to pub
lish the whole book in form. After
time he began to fear that the story
was getting too long for one volume,
and he wrote to the author to remind
her that two volumes on so delicate a
subject might be fatal to success. Mrs.
Stowe replied that she did not make
the story; it made itself, and she
could not stop until it was done. This
feeling of inspiration was strong in
her mind up to the end of her life.
While at Sag Harbor some years ago,
an old sea captain came up to shake
hands with the woman who wrote
ssUncle TOMS Cabin.'n s1But I didn't
write it. replied Mrs. Stowe. ssYou
didn't! Who did, then?n sGod wrote
it. [ merely did his dictation., The
book was published on March 20. 1852.
Ten thousand copies were sold in
few days, and over 800, 900 copies, it
is said, were in circulation within
year.

riCTUHES BY TELEGRAPH.
A Device Invented by an Electrical Ex-
pert In New York.

pert In New York.
A New York inventor has perfected
device for transmitting pictures by
means of electricity, like the telegraph,
from one point to another.
For years scientists and electricians
have devoted a great deal of their time
to trying to perfect some such method.
The result of d successful elimination
to these experiments would have mil
lions IN it. The royalties obtained from
newspapers alone would make the IN
ventor's fortune in the first decade or
its use, and its gradual adoption for
other uses would follow. Thomas
O'Brien, an electrical expert of New
York, has worked out a plan which
seems to him to be entirely feasible, ard
he will IN the near future demonstrate
its pract1cability or its reverse by trial.
The scheme provides for two disks,
carrying needlelike points, situated IN
different parts Of the circuit. One OF
these disks will be at each end of the
line, and the principle upon which the
points will work and be located is anal
ogous to the interrupting points on the
receiving and sending instruments of
the telegraph. The disks will be caused
to move spontaneously by means of cleo
trio connections to the same circuit. The
negative, which contains the picture to
be set is specially prepared The gela-
tin film is a nonconductor, and this
will be mounted on some substance
which is a conductor
AS every one knows who is familiar
with the r1ldiments of photography, the
action of the chemicals used in the de-
velopment Of sensitive plate after ex-
posure either tears away entirely or re-
duces to an imperceptible thinness the
film in places wherein the positive pic
ture is heavy and shadows appear.
Where the high lights are the film is the
thickest
Therefore, with the negative film
mounted on a copper base. the electric
current would be interrupted where the
film is thick, and where by the process
of development it has been removed
the current would pass through to the
copper and become record and pass
ing over the wire be recorded at the
other end.
These disks will revolve at the rate of
1000 revolutions minute by means
of mechanism impelled by electricity
The negative will be given q lateral
motion of about six inches in one min
ute, and it will be seen that, should
there be six points on the disk, 1 200
lines will have been copied during the
minute and recorded at the other end of
the circuit. This would mean that
copy had been obtained containing lines
finer than 100 to the inch, which is made
much finer than the lines of an engrav-
ing. The synchronism of the disks could
be regulated by means of small induc-
ton coils, which would be influenced
by small electro magnets specially con-
nected with each other and placed
around the periphery of the fywheel,
governing the motion of the disks in
such manner that the impulse given
the wheel would coincide with the in
terruptions of the circuit taking place
within certain time.-New York
