WOMEN PATRIOTS.

v~ou-known gentleman of this city re-
Gently read before a literary club and after
wards at a social gathering a paper entlIeu
"a General in Petticoats,' which has ex-
cited some curiosity and comment, espe-
cially among women. The paper is eAcel-
Iantlv well written and contains some
eranhic sketches of war and war times put
its main purpose is to prove nat MISS Gar
roll. of Maryland, was the author OIL the
plan of campaign by which General Grant
snlit the Confederacy in the southwest ano
onened the Mississippi to the Gulf. rms
claim on behalf of Miss Carroll is an old
one, and at different times In one way Oh
another. has been much exploited. She
made it herself soon after the close or the
war and continued to assert 1t up to the
time of her death, a few years ago. 1t was
recognized and Endorsed by some govern
ment officials, but never ot1clally' nor ny
anv department Of the government. AT the
beeinning of the war Miss Carroll was a
mature woman of great intellectual force
and studious habits. She was an ardent
Unionist and very familiar with the polti-
cal and military situation at that time
There is no doubt whatever that she dld
evolve a plan of campaign against the Con-
federates in the Southwest, that she SUD
mitted it to the War Department, and thai
both she and her plan were commended.
There is no evidence. however, that the
plan was ever officially adopted, or that
General Grant followed, or ever heard OF II
or her till after the war. General Grants
plan of campaign always was to get at the
enemy and fight him to a finish. If he could
not do this in one way, or by one route, or
according to one plan, he would try anoth-
err. and keep on trying till he accomplished
it. In carrying out this general plan he did
not take the advice even of his most trusted
military aids, and there is not a particle OF
evidence that he ever followed that of Miss
Carroll, or ever even heard of it.
Miss Carroll was a patriotic woman, but
there are others. American history is full
of them. They nave done as much to IL
lumine the pages of history as the men
patriots have. though mostly in different
WAYS. They nave been an important factor
in our two greatest wars. those of the revo-
luton and of the rebellion. At least one
woman served two years IN the reNoIuIlon-
airy army and was granted a pension. This
was Miss Deborah Sampson, of Sharon,
Mass, and her claim is better established
than that of Miss Carroll in that it re-
ceived official recognition. Attired in mems
clothes she. at the age of twenty-five years,
enlisted in the colonial army in 1871, and
served till the end of the war. She took the
name Of Robert Shurtlef and served in the
Fourth Massachusetts Line. She was under
fire many times and took part in several
important expeditions, in one of which she
was wounded by a musket ball, which she
carried till the day of her death. She recov-
cred from her wound sufficiently to take
part in the Yorktown campaign and was in
at the death. In 1886 a committee of Con
gress requested the commissioner OF pen

During this week the citizens of the
beautiful city of Richmond will have the
representatives of the Grand Army as their
guests. Other cities in the State have
made the member of these organizations
most welcome, but it can be safely pre-
dicted that none of them has surpassed
the hospitality which the citizens of Rich
mond will offer. Richmond was a center
of patriotic sentiment during the war. 1t
is located in the county in which Morton
was born and where he spent his early
years. Among its conspicuous soldiers
were Gen. Sol Meredith and r. w. Ben
nett. During the war Wayne county pa
triotism was so pervasive and so intense
that the disloyal organization dared not
proclaim itself. The surviving men and
women who lived in Richmond then, and
their ons and daughters who live there
now, will show the veterans that they
maintain their wartime prestige for patri-
otism and their all-time reputation for
hospitality.

SCIENTIFIC.

Fatty acids-doubtless of beef or mutton
have been found in the Egyptian tombs of
Ahvdos. dating from before the first
dynasty, together with a cosmetic of lead
sulphide and fat.
Spectacles for protecting the eyes from
sparks, flying splinters and the like are
made by DIR. Thomalla, of Berlin. from
Schering's gelatoid, an elastic transparent
material, which can be hardened in amyl
acetate. If broken, the substance does not
splinter like glass. 1t does not condense
moisture on it's surface, does not become
so hot as glass near a fire and is unln-
f1ammable.
The curious conclusion has been reached
by Fourier d'Albe, in a London electrical
journal, that only $500 experiments in
physics are possible, and over 2,0O0 nave
been already performed.
In his early experiments with the electri-
fed high vacuum tubes which the x rays
have brought so conspicuously to notice,
Crookes observed a singular blackening of
diamonds under the molecular lombard
ment in the tubes. Moissan has lately IN
Vestigated the black layer. 1t proves TO be
graphite, and for its production from the
diamond must have required a temperature
of 1000 degrees G..
The system of accumulators designed for
street-railway use by Herr Paul Ribbe. of
Berlin. has for it's essential feature carry
ing plates of celluloid inclosing the lead
plates, and provided with a number or
openings, the edges of which form the sup
ports for the active material in the form
of a special paste. This form of construc-
ton is claimed to insure great durability in
spite of great variations of load. A street.
car battery on this system consists of 40
cells. having a total weight Of about two
and one-half tons, and supplying an equiva-
lent of forty horsepower for a run of
twenty hours without recharginS.
Right-handedness, so long a scientific
puzzle, is believed by DR.. G.. V, Poore to be
a result of the distribution of the weight
of the viscera in the thorax, and to have
had it's origin with our four-limbed an
cestors long before they began to stand on
their hind legs for oratorical or other pur-
poses. Much the greater weight of the
viscera is on the left side. This causes the
stability of the animals body to be more
upset by lifting it's left paw than its right,
and the right paw, therefore, is the one
usually selected for independent use. A
creeping child would, for the same reason,
use the right arm for purposes independent
of loeomotion.
Highly magnetic spots, apparently having
no connection with the general magnetiza-
ton of the earth, are found at different
places in the rocks. 1t has been suggested
that these points may have been mag
netized by lightning. This theory has been
sfngularly confirmed by the researches of
DR.. @. Folgeraiter, who has found precisely
similar magnetic points and zones in the
remains of ancient walls and buildings In
the Roman Campagna. The fact that the
magnetic spots extend over adjacent stones

The first speech in England of our new
ambassador. Colonel Hay, shows him to be
a master of the art of graceful expression.
The occasion was a complimentary dinner
to the retiring ambassador, Bayard. and
the presentation to him by his English
friends of a costly gift. Colonel Hays
speech in response 10 a toast to his health
was notable for the absence of gush or
'jollying'' of the English and of any allu-
sion TO public affairs or international rela-
tons. He even said that. in accepting the
invitation to attend the dinner, he had
stipulated that he was not to come in an
official capacity, but simply as an Ameri-
can temporarily resident IN England, and
DESTROYS to add my tribute of regard to
your distinguished guest His speech went
no further than a polite recognition of the
honor shown himself and a graceful COM
pliment to the retiring ambassador. Colonel
Hay will not spend his time throwing bou-
quets at the British people and govern
ment in the name of the United States.

Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, has deliber-
ately snubbed the Citizens Association, a
reform organization which proposed to as
sist him in the performance of his official
what ought to be done. Mr.. Harrison says
he win receive and consider suggestions
from individuals, but not from organiza-
tons. He has the right of it. If civic fed
e~rations do not trust the men in authority
their time to work is before election. The
majority of the citizens, not the band Of re-
formers, placed him in power. and he nat
urally believes that he knows best what the
majority wants.

be had with Juarez, the head OF the fugi-

had. The Mexican leader was assured of
the purpose Of the Lincoln government
could he but hold out a few weeks until the
end Of the war, which Lincoln and Grant
then so clearly foresaw before May. Not
only this, but arrangements were made by
which Juarez could be furnished arms and
ammunition. This was the real mission Of
General Wallace. If he could have induced
any portion of the Confederates to sur
render to the end that they might go to
the aid of Mexico or deposit their aims

would have been better, but it was not

The agricultural experiment station of
Cornell University is issuing a series of
teachers leaflets for use in country schools,
the purpose being to encourage children to
take an intelligent interest in the growth
of plants and trees. One of these leaflets
recommends that the children try growing
sweet peas and China asters this season,
and in September to hold a fair in the
schoolhouse to show what they have ac-
complished. Special instructions as to the
care and cultivation of these two flowers
are given in the leaflet, and no doubt much
interest will be taken in the plan. Much is
said from time to time about the lack of
decoration about schoolhouses and many
country homes, but Improvement must
come through the education of the children
to better things, and this bit of enterprise
on the part of the Cornell station is a step
in the right direction.

1t is all we'll enough to talk about the
possession of general information, but it is
only the specialist who knows things. There,
for instance, was the American Laryngo;og-
ical, Neurological and biological Society,
which met at Washington last week and
discussed such questions as the Cure of
Singers Nodules and a Grouty Rhinolith."
Anybody who knows singers knows they
are grouty at times, but that the grouti-
ness is part of a disease hat can be cured
by doctors is in the nature of news. And
when one physician went on to show how
the voice could be photographed and how
each note gave an intricate and beautiful
shape the bewilderment of the listener not
a specialist could only become of a greater
density. One clear thought may be evolved
from this technical report, namely, that by
means of these photographs the geometry
of the octave can be determined, But what
is the use of the geometry of the octave
the archaeological gentlemen neglected to
state, and the nonscienti1ic person is as
much in the dark as before. The extent
of special learning is becoming so great
as to discourage the layman who humbly
hopes to keep in touch with progress.
