Bicycles on Towpaths.

Superintendent George w. Aldridge of
the Public Works Department has an
overweanng am bition to be Governor
and one year ago, in his desire TO have the
support of the wheelmen vote, he gener-
ously donated the canal towpaths as
bicycle wheelways. AS Superintendent of
the canal system he threw open TO the
wheelmen the use of the towpaths, and
they were not slow to take advantage OF
the offer. Now Mr.. Aldridge is being
pestered with complaints coming from
canal boatmen, who say that their m ules
shy at bicycles and have, in some in
stances, fallen into the canal as the result
of a glance at passing bicyclist. The
superintendent is trying to tlgure out just
what be shall do. Two courses present
them selves, either to force the can al
mules 10 wear goggles and binders or else
to compel wheelmen and wheelwomen to
wear costumes on the towpaths that will
be warranted not to scare the patient but
shy mules.-Troy Press.

May Be a Sort Of poubIe.x Ray.

remarkable discovery has just been
made by Frank L. Woodward OF this city,
in the finding OF a new ray of light, closely
resembling the Roentgen in its properties,
but produced under entirely different con.
ditions. The rays are obtained directly
from decomposed light, and Mr. Wood
ward has named them Spectropic X rays.
They have great penetrative power, and
with them photographs of the hand and
other non-transparent bodies have been
obtained.
Like the Roentgen ray, the Spectropic
x ray eludes the spectroscopc, and is
believed OF very short vibrative period.
The discovery OF the Woodward rays
will throw important light upon the
nature of Roentgen rays, and prove
beyond DOUBT that the Roentgen rays are
waves of very short vibrative period.
The details of the method Of prod ction
OF the Woodward RAYS have not yet been
made public. Mr.. Woodward is a mem-
Der OF the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers OF New York City.-Albany

. SOCIALISM WILL COME.
Views of Tom Beresford. the Author
of Several Political Works.

Views of Tom Beresford. the Author
of Several Political Works.
Washington Hall, on Eddy street, was
filed last evening. it being the regular
gatherieg of the American Branch. The
speaker of the evening was Tom Beresford,
the author OF clever book, 1.-THE Philos-
ophy of Wage Slavery" His subject was
"Inevitability of Socialism" His reasons
for believing that Socialism will prevail is
because things are working that way.
He said that the middle classes are be-
ing crushed down into the working
classes. They then will have the same
economic interest and, therefore, the
same political views as the working class
and will unite in order to fight the COM
mon enemy. He pointed out that this
industrial evolution was working precisely
as Carl Marx and Herbert Spen Ger had
predicted.
Mr.. Beresford described some of the hor-
rors of the great French Revolution, and
he said, Some people think that social
lists are trying 10 bring about violent
revolution similar TO it, but such is not
the case.
THE very reverse is true; we are run
ming a race with the train OF events that
produce violent revolutions. Like causes
produce like effects, and the same causes
that prod uced the terrible French revolu-
ton are at work in this country. Social
ism can and will be won bv the ballot.
Even if violence were successful political
methods would have to be used afterward
In any case"

Rapid Progress in the Construo-
ton of the Trans-Siberian
Railway.
When the Line Is Finished the Time
From Here to st, Petersburg Will
Be Twenty Seven Days.

Kir Alexeieff, who will represent the
Russian Imperial Minister of Finance
in Korea, and Lieutenant Garfield of the
Russian diplomatic service, arrived in San
Francisco yesterday and registered at the
Palace Hotel. They will sail for the
Orient on the steamer China next Thurs.
day. Russia has large and rapidly devel-
oping interests IN Korea, and it is the
policy of the empire to employ accom-
plished and able representatives in that
region. Mr., Alexeieff holds the rank of
Councillor of State. He has had military
as we'll as civil training. Mr. Garfield is
familiar with affairs in the Orient and
attaches great i'm portance TO the construc-
ton of the great railroad across Siberia,
which will within the next three years,
connect ST Petersburg with the Pacific
Ocean.
Speaking of this great enterprise at the
Palace Hotel last night, Mr.. Garfield said
that within twelve months line of
steamships would be established between
San Francisco and Vladivostok. the east
ern terminal station OF the great railway.
The distance from Vladivostok to st.
Petersburg is 10, 900 versts or 1885 miles.
He figures steamer time between San
Francisco and Vadivostok at fifteen
days ana Inc tlIue Wy 1dli lioih idutN W
stock TO ST. Petersburg twelve days,
making twentv-seven days for the whole
trip. W hen this route is open to freight
and passenger traffic the Canadian Pacific
will have a competitor, in commercial
sense, that cannot be Ignored. 1t is well
known to the Russian engineers that
port farther south than Vladivostok will
be reached by rail. and many predict that
Chemulpo, the seaport OF Seoul, will ulti-
mately become the terminal station of the
Russian railway.
A volunteer line of Russian stea mers
now makes the run from Odessa and Black
Sea ports to Vladivostok. Fifteen ships
are now in the trade ana four fast steamers
will be put in service within the next
year. The great commercial triumph for
Russia will come when the line of ships is
esta blished between San Francisco and
Vladivostok.
Next year the Siberian road will be COM
pleted from Moscow to 1rkutsk. Two
large boats have been built in the United
States to navigate Baikal Lake.
These boats will transfer trains in the
same manner that trains are transferred
at Benicia. The lake, in the mountains
of Siberia, is said to be the highest body of
water in the world and also the deepest
body of fresh water known.
1t is predicted that the opening of the
TransSiberian Railway will turn the tide
OF tourist travel to the route leading from
San Francisco to ST. Petersburg. Surely
travellers around the world will accept tb at
route either going or returning. What
Siberia will produce for the world traffic
remains to be determined. 1t is known to
possess wonderful resources of tim Der and
mineral wealth.

Marcus Whist.

Speaking of protocols and treaties Mr..
Labouchere once told this story: "Yea
ago l was in America and went down
with the English Minister in the United
States to small inn IN Virginia. where
we were to meet Mr.. Marcy. the then
United States Secretary of State, and a
reciprocity treaty between Canada aud the
United States was to be quietly discussed.
Mr. Marcy, the most genial OF men, was
cross as a bear. He would agree TO moth
ing. What on earth is the matter with
your chiei?' / said to secretary who &C
companied him. He does not have his
rubber of whist said the secretary. After
this every night the Minister and played
at whist with Mr.. Marcy and his secre-
tary and every night We lost. The stakes
were trifling, but Mr.. Marcy felt f1attered
in beating The Britishers at what he called
their own game. His good humor re-
turned and every morning when the de-
tails of the treaty were being discussed
we had our revenge and scored points for
Canada
