prayer.

Turnkey Fred Maurer, of the Gov
ington Jail, sent a message to Walling
from Miss Emma Roberts. 1t was:
die game"
He said that he would. ,Walling
then made touching appeal that he
be permitted to see Mayor Rhinock.
Although it was against the rules,
the request was granted. Mayor Rhi-
mock was sent for, and they had long
talk. Rev. Mr.. Lee offered then an
other prayer.
Just before the death procession was
to move Walling made another frantic
appeal for his life.
He asked Mayor Rhinock if he would
sign dispatch to the governor, and
for Mayor Biltz to do the same.
Give me reprieve of 80 days." he
exclaimed, pitifully. The mayor ex-
planned that the sheriff had right to
postpone the execution.
IF you have anything to say tell
him." was the advice.
Walling answered: jackson can
save my life if he will, but he won't.
/ have tried in every way to get him to
do it, but he will not He ought to
save me-"
Now, Lon," said Mayor Rhinock,
II want you to tell me where the head
is"
Mayor Rhinock, before God, whom
/ shall now meet, do not know"
At 11:20 a. m. a dispatch was re-
ceived from Frankfort saying that the
governor had again refused to respite
Willing. This is his final decision.
Scott jackson made statement at o
o'clock, clearing Walling. A dispatch
was sent to the governor at Frankfort
There was the greatest excitement
here
just before the men gotre ady to 60
TO the scaffold Sheriff Plummer asked
them if they had anything to say.
Jackson then made the statement
clearing Walling.
Just as Sheriff Plummer started for
the Jail, Col. Washington, Walling's
lawyer, entered the courtyard. He
proceeded to Walling's cell and talked
to him about the alleged confessions
made by him and Jackson Thursday
Walling acknowledged that both con-
LESSONS were all fake, but said that
jackson could yet save him if
he would. There was a long delay,
and the crowd was becoming i'm
patient, when the startling rumor was
spread that Jackson had confessed, ex-
onerating Walling. It developed that
this was true. Sheriff Plummer had
called the men 10 get ready to march
to the scaffold. when Jackson began
to cry. He called Rev. Lee and Wal
ling to face him and then said, ad-
dressing Sheriff Plummer:
Il want to say before you all that
Lon Walling is not guilty of murder. .
There was a hush and then Rev. Lee
said: What do you mean, Scott?"
Il mean just what L say, that Lon
Walling is not guilty of murder

ABOUT MERCURY.
The Thermometer Bulb Contains
Enough to Stretch Miles.

While almost any one knows about
the principles on which an ordinary
thermometer operates, there are a num-
Der of things about this apparently lit
tie instrument which are not generally
known, and which are of a great deal of
interest. One of the most peculiar of
these is the question Of the length of
tube which the mercury in the bulb of
an ordinary thermometer would fill If
it were stretched out in a single col
umn the size of that in the tube, says
the Boston Transcript"
Most people, when asked how long
this would be- would probably say from
. to 10 feet, while as a matter of fact
this column of mercury would in an ex-
tremely delicate instrument be miles
in length. The reason of this is that
the column of mercury, while it appears
quite large, is really of almost infinite
sinai size. If the tube of a thermome-
ter is broken, one is at first at a loss
to see where the mercury goes in, but
a close examination will disclose a fine
line much thinner than hair, running
across the end of the tube, and this is
one end of a little slit in which the mer-
curry rises. AS it has its fiat side toward
the eye, it appears to be quite large, and
the convexity of the outside of the tube,
through which it is seen, magnifies it
and gives it that rounded appearance
which is so deceptive. The reason why
the slit is made so small is to give the
greatest ratio of result for the expan-
sion of the mercury in the bulb.

The Tsetse-FIy Disease.

1t used to be believed that the tsetse-
fly disease, that plague Of African
travel, was due to a poison natural to
the tsetse-f1y, as the acrid secretions Of
ants or hornets are natural to those in
sects. A group of English bacteriolo-
gists have been investigating the dis
ease, and it is now known that the
tsetse-fy is the mere bearer of the dis
ease. The fly itself is the prey of a
minute animal organism, and when it
sucks the blood of an OK some of these
parasites enter the wound and multi
ply incredibly in the blood vessels.
Specimens of the blood of affected an
imals have been shown under high
magnification, and the tiny, eel-like
parasites, not larger than blood cor
puscles, are seen in countless numbers.
Under another microscope a drop Of
fresh blood was shown with the para
sites actually alive and wriggling in
disgusting activity. For comparison
there were shown, alive and dead, SIM
liar parasites found infesting the blood
of sewer rats in this country. Unfor-
tunately, these parasites appear not to
affect the health of the rats. The ex-
hibition was striking demonstration
of the modern knowledge of diseases;
most of these are now seen to be phases
of the struggle for existence between
small organisms like microbes and
large organisms like man and the other
vertebrates. And the victory is not
always with the strong.-Saturday Re-

EvANGELINA CIsNERoS.
Official Spanish Version of the Ar
rest of the Young Cuban.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26-In response to
an appeal cabled TO the Queen of Spain
by Mrs. Jefferson Davis, Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and other notable Amer
lean women, urging clemency for the
young girl, Evangelina Cossio Cisneros,
incarcerated at Havana by the Span
ish military authorities, and who, it
was reported, was to be exiled to the
penal colony, resident Spanish Minis
ter Dupuy De LONE has addressed a
letter to Mrs. Davis giving the official
Spanish version of the arrest of the
young Cuban, and the alleged reasons
for her detention and proposed trial.
THE facts show" the report says,
that Miss Cisneros lured to her house
the military commander Of the island
of Pines and had men concealed in it
who tried to assassinate him in con-
nection with an uprising of the pris-
oners in the island. For that offense;
far from being condemned and being
ready to he transported to the penal
settlement III Africa, she has not yet
been tried; the public prosecutor has
not yet presented the case for the Gov
eminent, he has not as requisite of
law asked sentence TO be imposed on
her, and the case is not yet ready to be
finally disposed of"
The Queen of Spain sends a message
to Mrs Davis that, as the case stands,
and before the trial has been COM
pleted and a sentence imposed, she is
not allowed by the law to interfere, but
that instructions have been communi-
Gated to the Governor General of Cuba
to bring a speedy trial, and to grant to
Miss Cisneros all possible consideration.

F1uorine Liuuified.

The success which has attended the
more recent attempts to reduce the for
mer so-called fixed" gases to the liquid
state is progressing steadily, and each
success is utilized to assist in the next
NM. Moissan and Dewar have now an
nounced in note TO the French Acad-
envy (Comptes Rendus, May 31sD that
they have succeeded in liquefying f1uo-
rine, this element having hitherto re-
sisted all attempts. The liquefaction
was effected very simply without the
use of pressure above the atmosphere,
the agent being the intense cold pro-
duced by the evaporating of liquid oxy-
gen. The temperature of liquefied oxy-
gen is about-1S3 degrees c., which is
in itself not quite low enough to cause
the fluorine to become liquid; but, when
a vacuum was formed above the liquid
oxygen, the rapid evaporation lowered
the temperature, and the drops of liquid
1uorine began TO collect, at a tempera-
ture estimated to be-1S5 degrees C.
The product was clear yellow liquid of
great mobility, having no action upon
glass; as soon as the temporal ure was
permitted TO rise, rapid ebullition of
1uorine was given off.-Engineering

WOODFORD'S TASK DELICATE.
How Is He to Put the Screw Upon
Spain without Open Rupture:

PARIS. Aug. 26-The conference be-
tween United States Minister Wood
ford ambassador Porter and Embassa-
dor White has failed to arrive at any
definite decision. General Woodford' S
task is extremely delicate. He has
been instructed to put the screw upon
Spain but to avoid any step leading to
an open rupture. Much depends, there
fore, upon SPANS attitude and upon
the amount of support she receives IN
Europe
On both these points the reports of
ambassador White and ambassador
Porter were unfavorable to the Ameri-
can case The Spanish Government is
forced by public opinion to continue
the policy of Canovas, and the senti-
ment of both France and Germany is
decidedly hostile to American interfer-
ence.
Under these circumstances it is prob
able that until Minister Woodford is
able to feel his way more clearly the
American policy will be watered down
TO the maintenance of the claims Of
American citizens in Cuba, set off by
Spain's claims with regard to flibus-
tering
