HIGH PREsSURE.

Some interesting phenomena have
been noted at the high fall water
power plant at Fresno, California,
where the Pelton wheels are oper-
ated under a fall of 1,411 feet and
an enormous pressure and jet veloc-
ity are developed. A sudden stop
page of the water flow will raise
the hand of the pressure guage to
the astounding height of 1000
pounds per square inch, the pres
sure returning eventually to nearly
a corresponding distance below the
normal, accompanied for over 80
seconds by a sharp reverberating.
The great pipe writhes like huge
serpent, and the commotion in its
interior sounds like the firing of
distant cannon. The only safe
guards in such sudden changes of
flow are the great strength and
elasticity of the steel. The water
is applied to the wheels by defect
ing nozzles. The terrific force that
this stream of water is capable Of
is almost incredible. 1t will bore a
hole through 3-inch plank. in a
few minutes; it will tear a hole
through a 5 inch piece of steel in a
few days; concrete melts before it
like sugar. The only successful
mode yet known of safely stopping
the motion of the water from the
nozzle is to put heavy casting
plate in the tail race in such a man
ner that it can be quickly replaced
when worn out.

Silver Certificates are Inferior Mon
eS-GOld Alone Must be the Stand


Silver Certificates are Inferior Mon
ey-GOld Alone Must be the stand
ard.
A special to the New York World
from Chicago says:
Mr. Lyman ]. Gage, the new Sec
retary of the Treasury, with great
candor and courtesy makes his po-
sition quite clear on financial affairs,
as follows:
"Our whole monetary system is
the resultant of makeshift legisla-
ton and unscienti6c compromises.
1t is time that reform began.
SIN my opinion, the greenbacks
should be permanently retired. The
silver purchased under the Sherman
act should be gradually sold and
the treasury notes redeemed and
cancelled. Some well-guarded sys-
tenn of bank note circulation broad
er and more elastic than the present
nations bank act provides should
be inaugurated.
"Such bank notes should be re-
deemable at central place, and be
redeemable in gold only.
"Slver certificates, which form
nearly one-6fth of the circulating
medium of the United States, are
dangerous. BY their use volume
of inferior money has found an ab-
normal use. They are the most
perplexing feature in the much-in-
volved problem of our national IL
nances.
"There is no reason why the gov
ernment should act as a warehouse
man for either gold or silver. Such
function is outside its proper limit
of action.
"But we are faced by a condition.
The enormous amount OF $500,00O,-
600 of silver, represented by $685.
100000 in silver certificates, added
to the $15O,oOO,O0O purchased by
the government under the Sherman
act, constitutes standing menace
to every business interest.
"To sum up, the defects of our
present currency system are:
Il. Confusing heterogeneity,
which needs simpli6cation.

RUINED INDIA.

In the budget of telegraphic news
from London in the Sunday papers
appeared the following:
"The Council Of the cial-Demo-
cratic Federation is arranging a pop
ular demonstration over the Indian
Famine Fund scandals. There real
ly seems to bea conspiracy of silence
on the part of the leading London
papers regarding the misappropria-
ton of the vast sum of 917, 100000,
raised by additional taxation in
India, to provide for the inevitable
recurring famines. A circular is
sued by the Socialist Council points
out that this Famine Fund was
started on the hypothesis that every
ten years G15,000,000 would be re-
quired to relieve a famine; that the
population of India has increased
in the last ten years by 30,000,O00;
that the huge sum of 20O,000,000
rupees is now paid annually to Eng
lish officials, military and civilian !;
that the appreciation of gold and
the depreciation of silver, with the
stoppage of the coming of silver at
the mints, have involved the popu-
lation in common ruin, and that
English greed and misrule are the
cause of the famine"
"The appreciation of gold and the
depreciation of silver, with the stop
page of the coming of silver at the
mints, have involved the popula-
ton in common ruin"
What is true to day of India will
be true in few years of the United
States if she continues to allow her
self and her people to be milked by
the gold standard.

principle of paper money, viz: That
every note injected into the COM
mercial system should represent an
existing commercial value.
"3. The treasury note is stand
ing evidence of foolish operation
the creation of debt for the pur-
chase on falling market of a COM
modify for which the purchaser has
no use; it lies open to the just charge
of being both idiotic and immoral.
~. The national bank note mere
ly conforms to the true principle of
paper money, but the unreasonable
requirements for security paralyzes
its efficiency and operate to destroy
its elasticity.
"5. The silver certificates en-
courage the use of silver to a larger
extent than is consistent with the
safe preservation of that metal on a
parity with gold"
"Would national commission
help to promote reform?"
"There is reason to hope that it
would be Of great service in that
direction. Such a commission, if
rightly elected, would throw a flood
of light upon these involved ques-
tions. The information it might
gather would be of immense value
to all our people, and would guide
us to wise legislation"
"Emotion and sentiment are not
safe guides in matters of science.
A clear apprehension of true prin-
ciples will lead to correct action.
"Reaction will be slow, but it is
coming, and it will be of long dura-
ton"
An Associated Press representa-
tive at Chicago saw Mr.. Gage lately.
He was very busy, having before
him about 1000 letters, but he took
time to say; "Those are my views.
subject to such modification as fur
ther thought may seem to require.
| / must decline to go into a delinea-
ton of my views now, as | haven't
time to formulate them, and do
not think it would be proper or ad-
vance the interests of the country"

A Fagot Party.

A fagot party is form of amuse-
ment that has not been heard of for
years, but is now quite popular.
Immediately after dinner the guests
all assemble in one room and are
seated in a semi-circle around
blazing open wood fire. A small
bunch of fagots is given to each one,
and in turn they put them into the
fire to burn. While they are burn
ing they must entertain the party
in some way or other, either by
singing a song, reciting something,
telling good story, executing a
dance-in fact, anything which will
be amusing. The time allotted to
each one is only while the fagots are
burning. When the light goes out
he or she must stop and make way
for the next.
Some very amusing surprises
have been prepared, and there is no
doubt that much latent talent,
which has never been suspected,
will come to the fore.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 22-All the grain
and provision markets turned very pretty
flip fops today, starting weak and closing
strong land in the case of wheat with a
heavy substantial advance. The strength
of the cash wheat situation in the North
west and confrmatory reports on the
Russian crop shortage were factors in a
one. cent gain in wheat. Corn advanced
