A correspondent of the New York
Press believes that if the clergy united
in prayer to that end God would sink
every Spanish war vessel. It is we'll
to have faith, but it is safer to keep
your powder dry. Suppose, for in
stance, the Spanish should pray the
Almighty to sink all Of our navy?
Why would not the efficacy of suppl
cation be as great in one case as in the
other?

Electricity and Health.


The London underground railways
are making arrangements to supply
electricity in place of steam, which mas
for many years been the motive power
of these great lines. Where steam has
taken the place of horses, a great point
has been gained, but electricity has ad-
vantages over all other power in that
1t does not vitiate the atmosphere, and
is not only clearly, but, according to
many persons, health and life giving.
The atmosphere, it is claimed, becomes
permeated with the electric fluid which
is a tonic, germicide and general re-
storative. All underground roads will
be greatly the gamers by adopting this
means of propulsion. 1t will, however,
be necessary to put all wires under
ground, as the dangerous results when
the wires become coated with ice has
been made tragically apparent in some
of our large cities. Electricity is as yet
in it's infancy. Just what It's possible
ties are, the finite mind cannot even
conjecture.

photographlng the world of the I,ttn.

FhotOgraphing the World of the Little.
The art Of photomicrography has re-
GENTLY made a great advance through
Inc application of the electric arc light.
heretofore it has been very difficult to
make good photographs of minute OBJ
lects magnified more than one thou
sand diameters, because the oxyhydro-
gen light employed to illuminate the
OBJECTS was not sufficiently uniform in
Intensity. With the electric arc light
this difficulty has been largely over
come, and fine photographs have been
made of objects magnified five thou
sand diameters. Microscopy is far
ahead of astronomy in the magnifying
powers that it can employ. 1t is sell
dom that a power of so much as one
thousand diameters can be usefully ap-
piled with telescope, and in photo
graphing the heavenly bodies compare
lively slight magnitication can be used.
A photograph of the moon with mag
nifying power of five thousand diam
eters would be wonder indeed.

Habits of Snakes.

An eminent writer on birds and rep
tiles declares that the notion frequent
ly entertained that snakes fascinate
their prey is utterly exploded. It
would be somewhat interesting if this
gentleman would tell us what power
1t is that snakes exert over birds which
draws them against their will within
easy distance of the reptiles jaws. The
writer of this paragraph has seen birds
nuttering in the air above the heads
OF snakes, apparently unable to resist
the influence that attracted them.
whether it be fascination or some other
FORCE, 1t unquestionably existed, al
though every one may not have OBJ
served it. Snakes never bite. To bite
would be impossible, from the forma-
tlon OF their jaws. They strike from
ABOVE, fastening their fangs into their
prey, after which they dispatch it, or
alnarily by swallowing. Many varie-
Ties or snakes have the power to con-
ceal their young in the mouths. The
tlny snakes play about the mothers

opens her mouth, and they immediate

Lor alarm seems to have been removed.
whether the mother snake has the fac
ulty OF communicating their danger to
them is not known; in all probability
she has. There are certain fish that
open their mouths and engulf their
small brood when danger threatens.
The lover of nature finds endless OPP
portunity for interesting research in
the study of every form of life.

According to celebrated anato-
mist there are upwards of 5000, 900
little glands in the human stomach.
The glands pour out the digestive
juices which dissolve or digest the
food Indigestion is want of juice,
weakness of glands, need of help to
restore the health of these organs.
The best and most natural help is
that given by Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. Natural, because it supplies the
materials needed by the glands to pre-
pare the digestive juices. Because it
strengthens and invigorates the
glands and the stomach, until they
are able to do their work alone.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indi-
gestion certainly and permanently.
1t does so by natural means, and
therein lies the secret of its wonderful
and UNMARRIED success.

THE TEMPLATE LIAR.

During the campaign of 1890 the
"tin-plate liar, new species of po-
litical prevaricators appeared in pub
lie. They told farmers that the Nc
Kinley bill would tax them to death !;
that tin cups and pans and buckets
would be worth their weight in gold,
or some such stuff, and the deluded
farmers turned round and voted for
Democrats for Congress aud members
of the Legislature; and then i'll 1892
they came forth again boldly preach
ing free trade and telling old soldiers
the Harrison administration bad mis-
treated them, and assuring working
men that the robber barous were
starving and making slaves of them.
and farmer and veteran and laborer
voted Tor Cleveland and free trade,
sand poverty and woe and misery and
want and degradation and bankruptcy
and idleness and soup-houses and
beggary and starvation and wretched-
ness and restitution and privation
and penury and pauperism reigned
supreme and the lowlived scouudrels
who caused the mischief looked wise
and cursed the voters for being fools.
He did not show his ugly mug dur
ing the campaign of 1894. There
were too many evidences of his dia-
bolical work visible In 1896 he
came forth as the apostle OF free riot
and free silver but never mentioned
free trade. He was knocked out but
the blow was not solar plexus, as
he has again come in all his moral
hideousness. He is a yellow-bellied,
copper-mouthed whelp, VINO poses as
a commercial traveller and denounces
the tax on beer when in and about sa
looms, sueers at the prosperity of the
people, and sheds crocodile tears over
the poor soldiers, yet the cowardly
skunk would run and hide if he
thought Spaniard was within five
hundred miles of him.
When controverted he sneaks of or
else changes the subject as the pusil-
luminous poltroon does his deviltry
in the dark or in such manner that
his contemplate calling may not be
suspected. Look for him and hit
him wherever found.

The Democratic county convention
adopted as a platform lot of slush
written by a disgruntled Republican,
who poses as a Populist, and the
Statesman says:
"The resolutions make the charges
and if they are not true why do not
the ringsters prove them untrue in
stead OF coming back and asking for
proof from us? The burden of proof
is upon them and let them prove
themselves not guilty"
This is the first time we ever heard
of any one demanding that the accus-
ed should prove charges untrue, and
we are astonished that one so igno-
rant of the first principals of law
should pose as a teacher OF the public.
According to the Statesman's theory
any disreputable scoundrel can make
a charge and the accused-innocent
or guilty-must prove himself limo
cent. Such sophistry as that indulg-
ed in by the Statesman would cause a
blush to mantle the cheek of Aguin-
aldo.

A TEST OF PATRIOTISM.

The congratulatory telegram to
Hon. Aston G. Dayton, in our issue
of the 18th, from Commodore Mel
vile. of the Bureau of Engineering,
and his assistants, Messrs. White and
| Mcfarland, is confirmation OF the
fact that Mr.. Dayton has, by diligent
attention to his duties, attained high
rank as a member of the Committee
on Naval Affairs. Such testimony
from a source so exalted is indeed
high praise. There is no department
so exclusive as the Navy Department.
The several bureaus are presided over
by men who have won fame on the
decks of men of.war. They are also
educated men-men who have for a
lifetime studied the needs Of the Navy.
Only the highest type of states
manship commands their admiration.
Only those who have acquired a
thorough knowledge of the needs OF
the Navy are recognized by them.
Mr.. Dayton found himself a mem
Der of a committee, the duties per-
tanning to which were wholly foreign
to his former experience and training.
Two courses were open to him: He
could in a perfunctory manner per
form his duties or he could by earnest
study master the intricacies OF the
Navy and its requirements. He
chose the latter and it is no eXagger-
alton to state that no member of the
committee is better qualified to init
ate legislation pertaining to the Navy
than he. Such is the testimony not
only of the Department but of mem
bers of the committee. Honor has
thus come to the Second District.
The Navy is the pride of every pa
triot and the man who has aided in
creating it is a West Virginian.
Complaint is made that the Army
was not properly equipped. No such
charge is heard of the Navy. 1t is
we'll known that all branches of the
Government depend for their sup
plies upon the committees of the
House. When the Spanish war came
on the Navy was ready and at once
proceeded to act In the Atlantic
numerous prizes were captured be-
fore the Spaniards knew that war
was declared and in the Pacific Dewey
electrified the world by smashing
the Spanish fleet at Manila.
Are you a patriot? Are you proud
of the Navy? If so, vote for ALsToN

False in One, False in All.

The editor of the Hampshire Re-
view claims to have examined the
Congressional Record with a purpose
to convict Hon. A. G. Dayton of ex-
cessive absenteeism, and says that the
Record reveals that Mr.. Dayton was
away from the sessions of the saith
Congress without leave 70 days, with
leave 40 days, and on sick leave 10
days-in all I2o days. 1t therein ac-
cuses him of neglect of the interests OF
the dear people. We do not know
how this record compares with that of
others who are chosen to serve in
Congress; but it appears to us, mas
much as Mr. Dayton is regarded as a
strict partisan, that the Republicans
are the fellows to complain of his abb
sence. and that the Democrats should
esteem his playing truant as the best
of his works for them -Charlestown
Free Press.
AS to the number Of Days Mr.. Day
ton was absent from duty we do not
know, but we do know that neither
the editor of the Review nor anyone
else can ascertain from the Record
how many days member is present
or absent To claim to do so is to
claim that which is aboulutely UNI
true. We write by the card having
been for years employed on the Re-
cord. The role is never called except
upon the passage of a bill or to as
certain if a quorum is present. Even
a role call does not necessarily dis
close the presence ola member. He
may refrain from voting or may be
engaged in committee work and be
recorded as Absent or not Voting"
Mr.. Dayton says the statement in
the review is absolutely false, and
as the evidence proves it to be false,
the fair assumption is that the Re-
view editor has wilfully published an
untrue statement.

The French minister of marine is
credited with the statement that the
wars of the future will be decided at
sea. Mahan's Sea Power in History
goes far towards demonstrating that
most of the wars of the past 800 years
have been decided in the same way
Few Americans think of sea power in
connection with the American Revolu-
ton, but Mahan shows clearly how
dependent Washington and the CONT
mental army were upon De Crosses
fleet for the victory over CORVALLIS at
Yorktown. Sea power in the future
will mean world power to the nations
that hold it. -Statesman.
And one of the means of securing
sea power is to vote for Aston G. Day
ton, who can be depended upon to
vote to make the Navy all that any
patriot desires. 1t is a source of con-
graduation to once see the Statesman
take patriotic view of a great Ma
tional question.
