remove the load causing such deformation tn,

longer or shorter time That is. the removal of The
load, the dstortiEg force does not produce i'm

DAYS and weeks This continuation OF the strnins
affecting the metal after removal OF the stress or
stresses Is called elastic reaction. This elastic re-
action, which begins after the elastic limit has been
passed. diminishes In the Of time partly or
entirely, depending on the molecular condition Of

FEATURES IN TANDFMS.

The compartments on the second floor were
beautiied by various collections Of palms and the
which they contained for the benefit of those
who wished 10 inspect the machines made them look
specially inviting 10 visitors. The Western Wheel
Works compartment was notable In this respect.
Among the machines exhibited there was a new
style of tandem with the mans seat at the back, so
elevated as TO enable him TO look over the head Of
the woman sitting in front Of him. The mans
sprocket wheel raised so that the chain he
worked ran down at an angle 10 the hub Of the rear
wheel, which was connected by entirely separate
chain with the sprocket devoted to the use Of his
feminine companion.
Another feature 10 be noted among the
hbits was a tandem tricycle.. This machine is a
modification of the carrier wheels used by mes
senger boys. each of which contains a compartment
behind the seat. The wheel is finished
tractively in red enamel but its most valued char
acteristic especially TO people Of somewhat adj
vanced years is that it can neither be tipped over
nor can the rider fall off it without some extra

year 1851, when the class of society to
which Mr.. Sloper belonged was not so
genteel in its habits as it has since be-
come In other words, Sloper dined at
2 o'clock. Had he survived into this
age he would not have dreamed of din

His friends were of his own sex. Slo-
per did not like the ladies. His friends

When Sloper and his friends had
dined and the bottle had circled until,

the party went on to the lawn to fire off
the guns there in completion of the tri-

to all interested in financial matters.
Thus far the senator has been content
TO sound English feeling rather than
expound his views, and the dinner
which Mr.. Henry White, formerly Sec
retary Of the United States legation,
gave on Jan. IL to a number of distin-
guished people in order to enable them
to meet Senator Wolcott, was an excel
lent opportunity for him to do so, as
among those present were Mr.. A. j.
Balfour, first lord of the treasury and
government leader in the house of COM
mons; the Marquis of Landsdowne,
secretary of state for war Mr.. William
Court Gullick, speaker of the house of
commons; Lord de Rothschild and Mr..
Henry Asquith, formerly secretary of
state for home affairs. The dinner
was also a striking example of Mr..
Whites position in England as there
are few men who are able to collect
such gathering at short notice.
Balfour Reluctant to Talk.
A representative of the Associated
Press had brief talk with Mr.. Balfour,
who at first was reluctant to say any
thing on the subject for publication.
But he remarked:
"You can be sure that this is from
no lack of interest in the cause. How
ever, you may say this much, l have
had great pleasure in meeting Senator
Wolcott and heartily concur in his
ideas, so far as have heard them.
am certain his mission will be pro-
ductive of good results to the cause OF
bimetallism in both countries
Lord Rothschild was of the opinion
that whatever benefit bimetallism
would derive from the senator's mis-
sion would be on the continent rather
than in England, adding:
"It depends Oh whatever action the
powers that Ee in France and Germany
will take. Senator Wolcott will un-
doubtedly confer with Emperor William
and M. Meline, the French premier.

Senator Perkins will make an effort,

Senator Chandler will introduce the

ask to have it voted upon at once. So
&far, Senator Pettigrew is the only
member of the senate who has an
nounced the intention to oppose the

others, while giving it no effective OPP
position, will take the position that
nothing can be accomplished by inter-
national action.
Uneventful Week in the House.
The week in the house is likely to be

ST. PAUL, Jan. lS.-The Northwest

Illinois Treasury Empty.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan. Is. For the
first time since the adoption of the con-
stitution of 1870, the legislature of Illi-
nois may be asked to authorize the bor-
rowing of money with which to re-
plenish the state treasury until the
next installment of taxes is received.
Governor Tanner, who has just been
installed as Governor Altgeld's sue
cessor, finds the state treasury almost
empty. Payment has been stopped by
the state on nearly everything except
expenses of the legislature.
