The towering Washington monument,
solid as it is, cannot resist the heat of
the sun, poured on its southern side
on a midsummer's day, without a slight
bending OF the gigantic shaft which is
rendered perceptible by means of a
copper wire, TIA feet long, hanging in
the center of the structure, and carry
ing plummet suspended in vessel
of water. At noon in summer the apex
of the monument, $50 feet above the
ground, is shifted, by expansion of the
stone, a few hundredths of an inch
toward the north. High winds cause
perceptible motions of the plummet,
and in still weather perceptible vibra-
tions of the crust of the earth, other
wise unperceived, are registered by it.

THE NEWSPAPER LAW.
All Subscribers Should Read the Fol-
lowing Law and Avoid Trouble.

/. All subscribers who do not
give express notice to the contrary
are considered wishing to continue
their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodical the
publisher may continue to send it
until all arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals from the Of
flee to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have set
tied their bills and ordered them dis
continued.
A. Subscriber moving to othe,
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intended fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to
continue taking it,and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express
notice with all arrearages are sent to
the publisher.
7. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who take a paper
and refuses to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along some
time unpaid, and then orders tn
postmaster to mark it refused" and
have postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar
rest and fine, the same as for theft.

A QUEER REQUEST.
\ Texas Man Who Called Upon Con-
gress to Name His BOY.

"a AeAas wan VINO Called UpOn Con-
gress to Name His Boy.
VI the many freak communications
which reach the capitol and the de-
partments one which came to the house
just before it adjourned is deserving of
the proverbial biscuit. The letter was
addressed to The Congress of the
United States in Washington Assem-
bled," and came from a resident of
small settlement in northeastern Texas
1t was written in an entirely earnest
spirit. 1t said
Dear Mister Congressmen: My dear
wife Amanda has just been blest by the
appearance of ahealthy young boy. Me
and my wife can't agree on no name to

Please attend to the matter as soon as
possible. Yours"
The only person around the house to
whom the letter could have gone
through the regular system of dissem-
mating the miscellaneous mail was the
private secretary of Congressman
Bailey. He communicated the contents
of the letter to a number of the EN-
ployes around the house The other
afternoon the secretary sent out a num-
Der of typewriter letters to dozen or
more employees, enjoining them to meet
in one of the committee rooms.
When the clerks assembled, he pro-
posed that they, as substitute house of
representatives. in committee of the
whole should attend to the very urgent
communication which he had received.
and that suitable name should be Sc
lected for the growing young Texan.
Accordingly a set of resolutions, stick
lers in their form and precision, were
drafted, with seal attached and sigma
ture properly fixed, and sent to the
writer. They informed the Texan that
the congress had taken cognizance of
his communication, and had acted ac-
cordingly. THE congress, exercising
power which was vested in it by the law
of 1884" said the resolutions, thereby

Cyanide of Potassium.

Few people know the deadly pois-
onus nature of cyanide of potassium
the chemical which has come into
such general use in the past few
years in the extraction of gold from
ores. 1t is this substance which has
brought to the front many an old
mining camp, and which means
much for us.
At the DeLamar mill and here,
frequent slight poisonings through
cuts, etc. have been experienced but
nothing of serious nature. though
operatives frequently use rubber
gloves as protection. The follow
ing article on its manufacture is in
teresting reading:
In London is a strange establish
snent, behind wilderness of ware
houses and tumble down tenements,
in a remote suburb It's massive gates
are locked and jealously guarded.
A visitor must not only be care
ful where he steps and refrain from
touching, he must also breathe with
great caution. One of the terrible
poisous manufactured here is pure
anhydrous acid, drug seldom seen
outside chemical laboratory This
is the deadliest of all known poisons
The discoverer was stricken dead
from inhaling its fumes. From 3 to
3 per cent of this chemical added to
70 or 81 parts of water makes prus-
sic acid. This diluted poison causes
instant death, even when taken in
minute quantities.
Next to anhydrous acid, the worst
poison they make is cyanide of pot
asslum. Last year they turned out
over 1000 tons of it. Five grains be-
ing fatal dose, the annu al output
would be sufficient to kill $500, 900
people, In the workroom, where
men are gathered around a witchs
caldron containing over a hundred
weight of molten cyanide, a strange
picture is presented. The seething
mass of white hot liquid poison with
thelambent play of the furnace fires,
the phantom faces of the working
men, enveloped in an uncanny look
Ing glass mask, peering into the
heart of thedreadful mixture through
the thick atmosphere, is terrible
sight. In another room, where are
tons OF the furnished product, look
ing like crystalized sugar, "good
enough to eat," one man is never al
lowed alone. For some inexplicable
reason 1t exercises strange fascin-
auon for the men who inhale its
fumes. They are haunted by desire
70 eatit. But knowing that satisfy
the craving means instant death,
most but not all are able to resist it.
ASIDE from this fascination it's man

Clears His Client.

VIM, Coelho, who was charged
with embezzlement of public funds,
was found not guilty by jury of
his countrymen last evening.
Mr.. Creighton, who defended
Coelho, has added another feather
to his legal cap, now flashing with
trophies from his numerous victori-
Gus law battles.
Ex.Judge de La Vergne received
a severe roasting from the attorneys
for the prosecution and defense, and
it is apparent to the taxpayers that
they will have to look to him for
the missing" funds.
Mr.. Creishton's clever address for
the defense was a credit to the we'll
known attorney. He proved again
that he is the leading criminal law
yer Of Hawaii, and bis suave and
courteous manners in presenting the
case Of his client had great effect
with the jury.
Coelho is acquitted and Mr.. de La
Vergne is no longer in the service of
the public. Would it not be we'll
for the taxpayers to be Informed
now who is the guilty party in re
the shortage in the public funds
collected in the District Court OF

who is it?

Germany, by landing an armed force

not believe the Picking Government

American warships have been order
ed to proceed to Kiaochou bay to
