OHIO RIVER SURVEY.

Chief of Engineers Wilson sent a
communication to the House last week,
containing the result of preliminary
survey of the Ohio River from Marietta
to Pittsburg. Under the provisions of
the last river and harbor bill S25, 900
appropriated for this purpose. The
object of the survey was to ascertain
the number of nova BILE dams necessary
to improve the river between the two
points named, to provide six feet of
water in the river at low water, and
also the proba BILE location and cost of
the necessary dams. Major Bixby, the
engineer officer who had the matter in
charge, states that the main work of
the survey has been finished, and thinks
that the dams can eventually be given
a lift of from six to eight feet. The
first dam, No. Z, will probably be locat-
ed somewhere between Industry, penn,
and Georgetown, Penn. Dams No s,
9 and 10 will follow, commencing prob
ably at Babb's Island, but their exact
location has not yet been determined.
The total number of dams will be be-
tween Is an is, and the estimated cost
for each dam is $3.50, 900, thus entailing
an expense of from 80, $50, 600 to s1S,-
500, 600.

MANS VITAL FORCE.
Alleged Results of Experiments by q
French Scientist.


French Scientist.
DR.. Baraduc, French scientist, has
just made public the results of his ex-
periments to obtain exact knowledge
in regard to the vital force of human be-
ings. He claims that by means of pho
Biography he has at last been enabled to
measure and register the volatile mat
ter of which every living being is con-
stantly ridding itself. On the plates
were impressed all sorts of luminous
points, varying according to the condi-
ton of the subject, says the Pail Mall
Gazette.
"By this method" says DR.. Baraduc,
"the moral condition of the individuals
can easily be diagnosed, for it is fact
that whenever sick or exhausted per-
sons are photographed. their bodies at
tract toward them the strong forces
of nature. In the case of a harmless
person of moderate intelligence the lu-
minous points assume the form of
handful of hailstoues which have been
violently thrown together and again
scattered, whereas in the case of q man
of dominant character they assume
the graceful form of pearl. oper-

points were plainly visible, most not
able being pointed jet of flames which
appeared on her forehead.
my experiments satisfy me that man
lives in an atmosphere of light, and is
surrounded by an atmosphere so pc
culiar and unique that it is well worth
while for scientists to spend time in
an attempt to analyze it. Only by con-
tinuous and progressive work can we
obtain real light in regard to vital
force-

East Hampton, Long Island resort,
where the romantic courtship which
eliminated FIVE months ago in formal

gagement was kept profound secret,
and it was only within the past few
days that Mrs. Talmage's most init

WALRUS LEATHER.
Used for Making Wheels for Polish
inE-Other Polishing Leuthers.


inE-other Polishing Lenthers.
Walrus leather is used for making
buffer wheels. for polishing brass. steel
and silver. 1t has peculiar. coarse
grain that holds the emery or polishing
powder well. 1t takes about five wears
to tan q walrus hide. Some walrus
leather is made in this country, but the
bulk of it is imported from England.
Leather made from the hide of cub
walrus would be about half an inch
thick. The hide of an old bull might be
two inches thick. The value of the
leather depends upon its thickness.
Half-inch would sell for about so cents
pound; oIe-and-a-half-inch would be
worth $1.40 n pound; and walrus leath-
er, from one-and-five-eighths to one
and three-quarters-inc thick. smooth
and well trimmed, would be worth two
dollars pound, and side of such leath-
er would cost about S3CO.
Walrus wheels are made in va
riety of shapes, depending upon the
work on which they are used. They are
made with fat face, gfooved, cone
shaped. or of any shape that may be
desired. and by cementing layers of
leather together wheels of any desired
thickness are made. Walrus leather is
also used for valve packings.
Bull necks are used. also. for polish
ing purposes. Three-quarter-inch bull
nccks sell at about so cents pound.
Leather made from the hide of the
sea lion is used for polishing purposes.
This is n smoother and softer leather.
used for softer metals. Sea lion leather
of an average thickness costs about so
cents pound. Built-up wheels of any
thickness are also made of sea lion and

causc II Is Classic.
The American Bible society has re-
ceived from its correspondent in Shang-
hal an account of the recent examina-
;ion for the master OF degrees among
students. In all former years the ques-
tons asked OF the candidates have been
on literary lines. and have been limited
20 the literature of China. The prof
cheney of the candidates Is said to have
been shown by their familiarity with
the classics and the books of Chinese
authors since the days of Confucius.
This year the imperial edlct directed
that the questions to be asked and an
swered should relate TO matters of inn
portance al the present time. The fol-
lowing surprising Question was read by
10000 pupils in one of the examination
halls:
What do you know of the repeopling
OF the earth by Noah and his family
after the food"
The Peking examination board,
which framed this question, has been
reading the Old Testament, which IL
now recommended as a textbook. and
for which there Is an increased demand.

Regardless of opinion on the Cuban
question, the republicans of the House
earned the praise of all true patriots
when they refused to be STAN peded
by buncomb talk and voted solidly to
sustain the decision of Representative
Hepburn, of Iowa, who was temporar-
lily in the chair, declaring a proposed
amendment to the Consular and Diplo-
matte appropriation bill, providing for
the recognition of Cuban belligerency,
to be out or order under the rules of
the House. The democrats of the
House care very little about Cuba, but
they will attempt almost anything
that they think might help them get
votes at the Congressional elections
this fall. AS every body knows, the
repnblScan leaders of the House con-
cluded at the extra session that Presi-
dent Mckinley was amply able to take
care of the Cuban question and that so
far as the House was concerned he
should be allowed to do it. That con-
clusion has been generally endorsed
by the republicans of the country, and
by the shoulder to shoulder attitude
of the republican members of the
House when the democrats sought to
use Cuba as an excuse for reducing the
House to state of anarchy, by over
throwing its rules. Representative
Henderson, of Iowa, who is a member
of the committee on Rules, truly said
in his remarks to the clustering demo-
crats:-"There is no committee in this
House so mighty as to act, or retard
action, unless majority of the House
is behind it." The democrats con-
tinued their efforts by offering Cuban
which they knew to be
out of order for several days, but the
solid ranks of the republicans, ever
ready to back up the frmness of
Speaker Reed, made them all failures,
1s they deserved to be. Right, honor,
and patriotism were all on the side of
those who voted to maintain the rules
of the House.

THE POLITICIAN.

The secret work of the sugar trust
against the treaty for the annexation
of Hawaii is even more disgraceful
than the open work of it's paid lobby.
THE American Sugar Growers Socie-
ty" is the alias that the sugar trust
has taken in this secret work, which
consists of sending thousands of circu-
lar letters to individuals of influence
in states where the sugar beet indus
try has obtained foothold, request
sounding fake society to write to their
Senators protesting against the an
nexation of Hawaii, and requesting
them to hold meetings and get anti
annexation resolutions adopted and
forwarded to their Senators. 1t is al
so sending out circular letters to edi-
tors asking them to print anti-annexa-
tion editorials which are enclosed. All
of this is being done on the claim that
the annexation of Hawaii would de-
stroy the sugar beet industry in the
U. S. Last week, in answer to a reso-
luton of inquiry, Secretary Wilson
officially informed the Senate that the
annexation of Hawaii would work
no injury to the sugar beet industry
of this country. 1t is not probable
that the Senate will reach vote on
the annexation treaty until some time
an February; the decision is in the
hands of Senators who have not an
nounced how they will vote.
Senator Hanna isn't worrying even
little bit over the alleged intention
of those who failed in their efforts to
prevent his election to the Senate by
the Ohio legislature to Investigate the
matter On the contrary, he is willing
to render all the assistance in his pow
er in any investigation that may be
made, and to appear before the legis-
lative committee whenever he is want
ed. Mr.. Hanna's Ohio enemies failed
in their effort to make Senator Jones'
of Arkansas, chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, their agent

of offering and pressing a resolution
against Mr.. Hanna's right to his seat
