HARTFORD, Oct. 0--Town elections
we're held all over the state yesterday, ex-
csptlng Hartford New Haven, Bridgeport,
Ansonia, Derby and Naugatuck, and the
results show b decided gain In Republican
strength and may be accepted as an index
to the greater political battle which Will
be waged at the polls four weeks from TO
day. The extreme satisfaction with the
result expressed by Lieutenant Governor
Cooke, the Republican gubernntorlal nom
inee, found reiteration at the headquar-
tors OF the state central committee, where
It was estimated that Mckinley and Ho-
bart would get upward Of 80, 900 majority
at the state election. Though yesterday g
elections, however, presented many local
issues, which oomplicates the efforts TO ar
rive at an Intelligent understanding OF
the leading party's strength, II was n sig
nifloant fact that IN the few towns TINT
had both gold and silver Democratic tick
cts in the field the gold men were greatly
In the majority. The weather conditions
were decidedly unfavorable for a large
vote, but the leaders Of both parties renl-
lied that upon the result Of the elections
an estimate of the Republican majority
In Connecticut in November would be
formed and an effort was made In almost
every town to get out the fullest possible
vote.
In several towns, notably windham, the
school and liquor questions were Injected
into the campaign, causing split, but
the heads of the tickets were voted for on
straight party lines, and a Republican
gain Is reported In every case.

Electric Eyeglasses.

Perhaps the oldest invention patented for some time is the "electric eyeglasses" of c. E. Qnimby, and its Dateot number is 556 693. Qnimby's scheme IS to con vert man into yeritable peram bulating night owl. and he proceeds to this end in this way: Into mans hat is fitted small but strong electric plant or bat. tery. the wires of which are to pass about the circumference of the top of the head, thus crowning the individual with charges of domestic lightning. Then two miniature incandesceBt electric lamps, having reflector on one side and an orification on the other, and mounted on spectacle frames, are placed on the nose so each lamp will fall in front of either eye The electricity then manifests it- self in bright glares of light from the lamps on the line of vision of the party wearing Qnimby's apparatus. Thus equipped, the inventor claims, man may see far ahead and traverse the darkest road or grotto without trouble Boston Transcript.

The Discovery cf Dark Stars.

Discussing the discoyery of invisible dark etars by mesns of observing their grsvitational attraction on their visible bright companions, Miss Agnes M. Clerks writes as follows in Knowledge :: "The distribution of matter in stellar systems Is point Of great interest. and of equal difficulty. Relative brightness is no guide to 1t Satellite stars are often attractive out of all proportion to their magnitude. Sirius emits ten thousand times more light than its attendant, yet. it is only twice as massive. The stars oI Alpha Centauri bear equal sway m the system formed by them, notwithstanding the five fold superiority in briIliancy of one over the o'her; and g corresponding disparity seems to exist in the besuti. fully tinted couple Eta Cassiopeise. Here the yellow primary surpasses its rosy attendant twenty eight times in light, though no more than three times in mass, according to NJ. Otto Stuve's location of their center oi gravity. Pro lessor Jacoby. however, proposes to test the accuracy of his result by plates; and intrepid computors will no doubt come forward to execute his plan.
 Endless gradations of rsdiatiye power seem to be represented in the stellar world, but the discovery of dark stars solely through their grsvitationsl effects, must be regarded ss signal triumph of exact astronomy. They are found under varied circumstances. Witness the con- panion of Procyon, unseen, not assuredly through the proximity of that lustrous orb, but through real obscurity; the fourth component nf Zsts Csncri, and the almost incredibly cloee satellites of Algol and other eclipse stars, as well as the Delta Cephel and sundry shortperiod vsrisbles; besides an unknown multitude of undlscoverable orbs, which have ceased or never began to shine, or even oi whole system wrapped in thick dark ness"

If no nomination be made on the first ballot at St. Louis or Chicago, there is no telling where "the dart of accident and shot of chance' may strike. The people speak in the conventions where few bal. lots are taken, and the sdroit. intriguing politicians find their opportunity in pro. longed contests. There is much political philosophy, with some cynicism, in the following extract from the writings of an observant political chronicler: "It is . great mistake to say that the people have much to cay as to whom democrat or republican convention will nominate. What had the people to do about the nomination of Polk, Pierce, Hayes or Garfield? The history of nearly all na- tioual and state conventions is history of the contest of factions, intrigues and combinations. The machine has been, and we are inclined to believe ever will be, the ruling power.--Philadelphis Ledger.

The Roman Camp0gno.

In Rome itself one loses sight of the vatican and of the cupols Of St. Peter's The view of them is easily shut out when one is near. Bat st little distance, ss you drive out upon the Csmpsgns, the dome resrs itself up by degrees, ss though giant were slowly ,hrusting up its hel msied head from the horison; and as you go farther away the mass still nses m re- spect of the lit.leness around It, enormous out of ali fofeseen proportions. until it hugely masters and thrusts down all the rest beneath the level line of mist, and towers alone above everything, in vast imperial solitude, writes Marion Crsw. ford in the January Century.
 But out upon that broad expanse ol rolling land one need not look forever ., St. Pe,er's alone. Half the history ol the world has been written in stones and blood between the sealine and the rang. ing mountains. The memory of Brsh. min sage, the tongue of . Homer, the wisdom of Solomon, knesded into one human genius, would not suffice to recall, to describe and to judge all that men have done in that bounded plain.
 Where the myths of ages were born and grew great and died, where the history oi i've and twenty centuries lies buried, TO. mance has still life to put forth few tender blossoms For although the day of the Ce,srs is dsrkened, and the twi lights of their gods has deepened into night. the human heart has not yet lived out it's day nor earned its rest.
 On the very spot where you pause, dim primevsl battles were fought, Christian mariyrs died, barbarians encsmped, Ro. man barons slew one another, and foreign conquerors halted before besieging Rome. Where you are standing, fair young St. Julia may have breathed her last upon the cross; Augustus may have drawn rein moment there, while Julius Cassr's funeral pyre still sent up it's pillar ol smoke from the distant forum, as the Jews fed the flames, bewsiling him through seven days and nights; the constable of Bourbon passed this way, riding on to his death by this road Paolo Orsini led his young wife to haunted Galera, having in his heart already determined ths. she should die; Ssyelli, Frangipanni, Orsini, Colonns.
