Peterson says the fact is that, out
OF more than 100 steamers FROM
all directions in nine months, only
SIX were first seen from the wharf
lookout. He slso says that he
can see BARRIERS Point lighthouse
and several miles to the northwest
of it, so that there is no necessity
for station at that place, espe.
cially as it has no elevation and
would therefore be a poor site for
a lookout anyway. 1t really
does not appear that the public
need be put to the expense of car
rying out the suggestion III
question. Mr.. Peterson suggests
what would be useful; that is,
when a pilot boards any strange
vessel, steam or sail, to have it's
name code hoisted. This would
be good service to merchants,
the press and, som etimes, the
general public.

Good Counsel.

AT the Hagey Institute Club
meeting last Saturday evening a
paper was read by Mr.. Stewart,
in which he drew deductions
illustrating the good done by the
Club from a social standpoint,
the immense value of the treat
ment for intoxication, etc. Mr..
Stewart recited an old Grecian
fable which went to prove the i'm!
portance of keeping in mind the
main point at issue, the permanent
success of the club, for which OBJ
ject small differences of opinion
should be thrown aside aud never
allowed to interfere.

st. Louis, Feb. II. The United
States Supreme Court yesterday
granted new trial of the suit
against the Iron Mountain Rail
way for $4,000 damages for the
death of James Clancy. The
plaintiffs placed Professor
Nipher of Washington Uni
versity on the stand as
an expert, and through him a
scientific point entirely new was
brought out. The popular sup
position that the boy, James
Clancy, was drawn under the
train by suction" was disproved.
1t was shown that instead of there
being any suction the air currents
had a contrary effect.

Scientist Claims He Cas- rrsusmute
ebay Into Metais.

st. Louis, Feb. Benjamin
Brazelle, a scientist and inventor
well known among men of his
class, claims to have discovered
the key to electricity and the
transm utation of clay into gold,
silver and iron, aud to have per
fected his discovery to an extent
that will revolutionize the science
of chemistry.
His demonstrations have been
so satisfactory rs to enlist the in
corporation of a company by n
number of leading capitalists to
put them into practical effect.
The company has already start
ed its plant at Fairlawn, in st.
Louis county. 1t will soon be
completed and ready, its projec-
tors assert, to turn out aluminium,
gold, silver, iron and many other
metals not known to science, all
manufactured from common clay.
By actual test, it is stated, Mr..
Brazelle changed silver into gold
and gold into silver. The trans
mutation he considers the most
insignificant part of the discov-
cries he has made-a mere nothing
in comparison with the changing
of clay into gold, silver, iron, cal
cium, aluminium, glacium and fif-
teen other metals not known to
science and whose qualities have
not been determined by the dis
coyerer.

TELL THE TRUTH AND
SHAME THE DEVIL.

III ulSCuSoiuS CuiiShN oh"S, "S
theBULLRTIN has often maintained,
does not do the Republic any
good nor tend to promote its car
1inal policy. When, for instance,
it is stated with some flourish of
liction that "the new order" has
induced extraordinary interest in
the question of having other than
Asiatic labor in our chief indus
try, a great injustice is done both
to the sugar planting fra
ternity, that has done so
much in the past twenty years to
make the country prosperous, and
to the people at large whose poll
tics for ten years past at least
outside of revolutionary matters
has turned upon that very ques-
ton. The introduction of immi-
grafton from almost every nation
and kindred under the sun, other
than the Chinese and Japanese,
has been mooted year by year for a
decade and half, andnot onlytaken
into deliberate consideration by
the planters but, in many diverse
instances, acted upon with vary
ing degrees of success and failure.
German peasantry, South Sea ISL
anders and, especially, Portuguese
from the Atlantic islands of that
nation, have been brought into
the country in shiploads, for a
period extending back as far as
stated. Then coolie labor from
India and negro from the
Southern States of America,
not to mention Javanese and
other Malay tribes, were success
sively and sometimes simultane-
ously considered before the old
order had changed. Many thous-
ands of dollars were spent by the
planters upon quests to every part
of the globe for substitutes for the
Asiatic labor, of which it was adj
mitted there was an excess, espe-
cially in the preponderance of
males. Not only does the violence
to historical accuracy in question
do no good to the Republic,
but il is calculated to do great harm
to its main object. in the United
States. 1t simply puts our plant
ers and people generally in
the false light of casting
about in a panic for means of
deliverauce from the necessary
evil of dependence on Asiatic con-
tract labor, not because we regard
it as an evil at all but because it is
used as an argument against not
only closer relations but the contin-
uance of the present intimate
relations between the two coun-
tries. The truth is that while
this motive may be a stimulus to
the present concern about the
composition of our labor supply,
it is not at all it's origin and has
until quite recently had no bear
ing whatever upon that concern,
which for these many years has
been one solely for the main
tenance and promotion of civil
Lied institutions in the
Hawaiian Islands. To place
the matter in its true light
is to place the people of this coun-
try in harmony with the people of
the United Statesmen as a facti-
tious expedient for present emer-
gency but as living fact of many
years existence prior to the gene
sis of the present international sit
uation. Truth is mighty and a
better weapon than misrepresenta-

WHY the Irishman Quit.

There was once an Irishman who
sought employment as diver, bringing
with him his native enthusiasm and a
certain amount of experience. Although
he had never been beneath the water he
had crossed an ocean of one variety and
swallowed nearly an ocean of another.
But he had the Hibernian smile, which
is convincing, and the firm CHANGED to
need new man. And Oh the following
Monday morning Pat hid his smile in a
diving helmet.
Now, the job upon which the crew to
which Pat had attached himself was
working was in comparatively shallow
water, and Pat was provided with a
pick and told to use it on ledge below
in the manner with which he was ia
miliar.
Down he went with his pick, and for
about Is minutes nothing was heard
from him. Then came strong, deter
mined, deliberate pull on the signal
rope, indicating that Pat had avery de-
cided wish to come to the top. The as
sistants pulled him to the raft and re-
moved his helmet.

Raseball Batting.

The ideal batter puts into his stroke,
first, body motion; second, upper arm
motion; third, forearm motion, and
fourth, wrist motion. The stroke begins
with a strong body swing, which is fol-
lowed by the motions of the upper and
fore arm respectively, and ends with
short, quick snap Of the wrists. AL
though this is the analysis of the ideal
stroke, it is not precisely the one that L
would recommend for the majority OF
amateurs To get all the motions to
their full extent against good pitchers
requires an ability to judge the ball
more quickly and accurately than anna
teurs. with few exceptions, can do.
The wrist and arm motions can be con-
trolled more easily and quickly than
the body swing, so that If most OF the
latter is left off the batter has greater
chance of judging the ball accurately.
| therefore think, as accuracy is abso'
lutely essential, that batters should be
coached to use but little body swing. In
other words, they should be coached
! not to "slug" and try for home runs,
but TO meet the ball squarely for line
! singles. When you see batter, as Of
ten have, strike at ball, and from the
force of the stroke be turned completely
around you have seen one who is guilty
of two breaches of correct batting prln'
ciples. First. having entirely sacrificed
the important arm and wrist motions,
| he has. with stiff arms and wrists, de-
pended entirely upon powerful body
swing. And, second, he has lost his bal
ance and therefore all batting form IL
will be we'll to bear in mind that
against any pitcher a good, clean hit
can be made, even without any body
motion, if the ball be hit squarely and
with a quick arm motion and snap OF
the wrists. -Harper's Round Table.
