OF Maryland Sees Mckinley and Hanna for
Hr. Geary of His State.
Cleveland, O., February Senator
George L. Wellington, of Maryland,
came up from Canton this morning and
held a long conference with National
Chairman NJ. a. Hanna, at the latter's
office.
To an Associated Press reporter Sen
ator Wellington said he had been to
Canton in the interest Of Mr.. Geary, Of
his State, for a cabinet position, and
that his visit to Mr.. Hanna was for the
same purpose. He stated that in view
of the rumors regarding the declination
of Judge Golf, of West Virginia, TO ac-
cept place in Major McKinley's OFF,

chances for Maryland being represent
ed therein were very good. He de-
clined to state what had passed be-
tween Mr.. Hanna and himself, but
said he was we'll satisfied with the re-
suit of the conference.

A California Physician Makes an Interest
ing Observation of Disease Effects.
Oakland Cal. February An in
teresting problem is suggested to the
medical world by a recent experiment
of DR.. w. T. WOOlsey. He was called
TO treat two children suffering from
the fever which follows vaccination, and
while they were under his care both
developed diphtherla from which they
recovered very quickly. The physician
is now almost convinced that there was
a clash between the two ferments in
the blood and that the virus of the
vaccine vanquished the toxine Of the
diphtheria. He watched the cases very
closely and he felt so certain OF the
correctness of his conclusion, that III
the notice of the cases which he sent
to the health officer he announced that
the diphtheria had been lightened by
vaccination. The patients are now
strong and we'll at a time when such
sufferers are usually weak from the
effects of the disease. In discussing
the matter Dr. Woolsey said: THE
thought suggested by the recent cases
of mine is the antagonism of one dis
ease for another, like erysipelas TO
cancer which is an entirely new idea
as applied to diphtheria. Whether or
not it will prove of any practical value
is a question upon which feel rather
doubtful but II is, nevertheless, Of
great interest scientifically and throws
new light upon such subjects. 1t may
incidentally be a point OF vantage for
experiments in other directions.

| Great Brita1a Preparing to Resist the
Sultan's Claims mn 40 Egypt
Abdul Hamid, now conscious of his
strength in consequence of the
successes of his army in Greece,
has resolved to take steps to OBJ
| tain a more effective recognition
| CT his sovereignty over Egypt
and it is to this intention that is as
| cribed in London, as well as in the con-
tinental capitals, his otherwise mex
plicable action in continuing to call to
arms the reserves in his Asiatic prov
inces at an enormous expense, which
bis treasury will have difficulty in fac
ing. For the war with Greece is so near
ly at an end that these fresh troops can
not be destined for service in the pres
ent conflict with King George. That
England forsees some trouble of the
kind on the part of the sublime porte,
which is believed to be acting in defer
ence to suggestions received from Ber-
lin, is shown by the extraordinary
preparations which she is making TO
meet steps such as this, even to the ex-
tent of endeavoring to put pressure
upon Turkey. The great channel
squadron has been brought round in
10 the Mediterranean, and while part of
it is controlling the straits of Gibraltar
the remainder is patrolling the route
thence to Malta, where an immense
amount of stores of every kind, alto
gether out of proportion to the wants
of the ordinary garrison, has lately been
accumulated, while the troops there are
quietly being increased to such an ex-
tent that within relatively few hours
an army corps of from IS, 600 to 10000
men could be landed on the coast of
Greece or Turkey or of Egypt.
In the meantime the Indian squadron
of the English navy has been summoned
from its ordinary station to the Red
sea and is now off Suez, while the or
binary Mediterranean feet of Great
Britain, the largest and heaviest ever
assembled in those waters, is lowering
between Crete, Alexandria, and the
Dardenelles, acting in such mysteri-
Gus manner as to have caused diplomat
ic inquiries to be addressed by the for
eign cabinets to Lord Salisbury on the
subject, inquiries which have become
more pressing since it has been ascer-
tanned that Great Britain is busily en-
gagged in fitting out one more of those
flying squadrons which it occasionally
organizes at moments when the condi-
ton of affairs appears sufficiently crit
ica1 to make necessary step of this
kind. England. it may be added. is in
exceedingly bad odor at the sublime
porte, owing to her refusal to permit
the khedive to comply with the sultan's
demands for the expulsion of the
Greeks who number nearly $4,000, from
the Nile delta, and for the severance of
all official relations between the Hell
lenic government and that of the
llhedive. The sultan claims that Egypt
is Turkish territory, and nothing but
an Ottoman province. England is pre-
pared to admit this in theory, but abso-
lutely declines to allow any practical
effect to be given to the latter.-N. Y

THE FIRST ROCK SALT MINE.
It's Discovery Was the Result of Acct.
dent Rather Than Design.

dent Rather Than Design.
Il really believe that many of the
greatest discoveries are the result of
pure accident, and this applies not only
to scientific facts, but also to more ma
terial matters" remarked Gen. Dudley
Avery. Accident brought the great
salt deposit on Avery island to light aft
er its groupings had teen worked for
nearly half century. My grandfather
sold salt years before the war, and my
father in his youth followed the same
method of production, even after his
fathers time, but it remained for my
brother John, when a boy of 16, to
really make manifest the remarkable
advantages which the island possessed
in the matter of rock salt mining. II
was during the war. Salt was selling
in New Orleans for $11 sack. This
was at a period when the salt works
of the island were not being made use
of. You see, my grandfather manufac-
tured salt by digging wells, into which
the salt water flowed in great guam
titles, and this water he boiled, eyapo-
rating the moisture and causing resi-
due of fine salt.
when my brother learned of the
high price of salt in New Orleans, he
went to my father, then practicing law
in Baton Rouge, and suggested that he
be given permission to work the then
abandoned wells and make pin money
for himself. There was no objection,
and with the assistance of several slaves
John proceeded to open the old wells
by clearing out the accumulation of
debris and boiling the brine, as his
grandfather did years before him. He
opened number of new wells, and was
soon selling salt at a great rate, but
the demand increased, and he decided
to open a big we'll some ten feet square.
The work proceeded, but the usual
depth was reached with no result. The
water did not flow. He concluded to
dig deeper, and at 16 feet came upon
what the negro diggers said was an old
stump. Failing to chop the stump
with an an, the negro concluded he had
struck a bed of rock. and when my
brother descended into the excavation
he managed, with a cold chisel, to cut
out a piece of what he thought was
transparent rock. My father, how
ever. who happened to be on the island
at the time, knew what had been dis
covered, and in the course of little
while the wonder of the discovery had
been noised all over the country.
Thus was discovered the first rock
salt deposit in the south, and a few
months after that time a dozen shafts
were being worked in a crude way.
and we were shipping salt to Richmond
in great quantities, at least great in
that period of the worlds history.
Work has progressed almost steadily
since that time, and we are shortly to
begin new shaft, which will go deeper
tsaan ever; in fact, drop beneath the old
workings, although this is not neces-
sary, because we can tap the deposit
where we choose" - New Orleans

How wind Denects sound.

Lord Rayleigh gave, in a recent lee
ture, an interesting explanation of the
action of the wind in preventing the
spread of sound toward the direction
from which the wind comes. 1t is, he
said, not the wind, as such, that pre-
vents sound from travelling against it,
but differences in the strength of the
wind. If, for instance, the wind is
stronger above than below, or stronger
at one side, its effect will be to tilt the
sound waves in one direction or another.
Differences of temperature in the air
also cause DETECTION of the waves of
sound. Other atmospheric causes ex-
list which defect sound from a straight
course. and prevent it from going as
far in certain directions as it may have
been expected to GO Some of the sirens
at Trinity house, Lord Rayleigh said. pro-
duce sounds which ought. theoretically,
to be audible at distance of 500 miles,
but in fact the authorities would be sat
isfied if they were heard only two miles
away. The reason for the discrepancy
between calculation and experiment
was probably atmospheric DETECTION of

CARRIER PIGEONS IN ENGLAND,

| Great Britain Proposes to Utilize
Them for Carrying Dispatches.
Following rather tardily in the foot
steps of the other great European pow
ers, her majesty's government has de-
| cided to avail itself of the services of the
courier of the air" for purposes of
war. Though the lapse of time has not
been great since the pigeon was active
~ employed as a purveyor of intelli-
gence, still its use for warlike purposes
has been so superseded by the railway,
the telegraph and the heliograph that
this action of the authorities is certain
to cause some surprise in this country.
With characteristic caution the expert
ment at first will be conducted on a
small scale. A large pigeon loft, ca
pable of containing 200 birds, is to be
erected close to the signal station of
the commander in chief of Devonport,
and the birds will be trained to act as
an auxiliary to the naval intelligence
department by serving as messengers
between fleets at sea and the naval
posts on shore. 1t is to be hoped their
services will not be confined to the
navy.
The pigeon will never, of course, oc-
cupy the position it filed in ancient
Rome, for instance, where it was the
custom for wealthy artisans to take the
pigeons to the amphitheater for the
purpose of sending home the names of
the guests they had invited to dinner.
Nor win it ever again become the trust
ed messenger between parted lovers.
The telegraph and the penny post have
relieved them of such duties. But if
their adoption abroad means anything,
it is clear that the practical value of the
present means of communication in
time of war has been greatly overrated.
Continental military experts argue that
not only are oral or written communi-
cations, from the time involved in their
transmissions, of secondary use only,
but that the application of signals of
all kinds is limited to the very narrow
est possible compass and that the cleo
trio telegraph, the most perfect means
of communication known, is from its
very delicacy liable TO get out of order
in the rough and tumble work of the
wires falling into the hands of the en-
envy or of the efforts made to destroy
them in recognition of the Importance
of the part they play-London Mail.
