This Poem Has Interest FOL
Chicl5nEnnngsa Boys.

Many of the soldiers encamped
at Chickamauga have expressed
the wish that The Republic print
the poem written by Brigadier
General William Haines Lytle,
"Antony to Cleopatra beginning:
aI am dying, Egypt, dying" 1t
has been said that this poem was
written on The eve Of the battle of
Chickamauga, where General Ly-
tie was killed, September 20, 1868.
Such supposition Is erroneous; it
was written in 1857, six years be-
fore the gallant Ohioan lost his life.

Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear;
Listen to the great heart-secrets

Though my SCARED and veteran legions
Bear their eagles high no more,

Strew dark Actium's fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards surround

Prompt to do their masters will

Let not Caesars servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;

Twas his own that struck the blow.

Turnad aside from glory's ray;

Madly threw . world away.

Yet shall mount the throne of kings.

To Men who had borrowed money
when wheat was worth one dollar a
bushel, Mr.. Bryan's argument of last
year, when wheat had fallen to fifty
cents bushel, that since wheat and
other commodities had deprecated
to half their former value it wonld
be an honest proposition tor them to
pay off their debts in fifty-cent dol
lars, seemed rational and equitable
This he claimed would not work o
hardship upon the creditors, because
with a fifty-cent dollar they could
still buy bushel Of wheat; but since
wheat has advanced to one dollar
and other farm commodities have
largely advanced, they see the fallacy
orhis argument, an evidence of which
is in the vast number of mortgages
and other debts which are rapidly
being paid of

To Invite Intervention,

A formal request to this govern
m mt to open negotiations with the
Insurgents is under consi leration bv
Spain. Indications are that it will be
presented shortly. But for the ap-
prehension that public sentiment in
Spain may resent it, there would be
no delay. Minister Dupuy de LONE
was at the State Department today,
aud was in consultation for some
time with Assistant Secretary Day.
His visits and conferences are IN
creasing in frequency. 1t is known
to this government that the Spanish
Ministry is greatly disheartened over
the failure of autonomy and of recent
military operations.
The situation in Havana is very
bad, 1t is more desperate than the
outside world realizes. For the
first time since the war began, the
government has lost the confidence
aud support of the Spanish loyalists
Oh the Island. All efforts of Blanco
to open direct Communication with
the Insurgents have failed. The
Spanish Ministry feels that the only
thing left Is the acceptance of the
officially rendered good Offices of the
United States.
The plan proposed is to have this
government establish Communication
with the Insurgents, arrange for an
arnlistice and conduct the ncgotia-
tions for q basis of settlement OF
some kind. Eight months ago the
Spanish Government spurned the
idea of inviting the United States to
help end the war. Now the Ministry
only hesitates to carry the plan into
effect because of:sfear that the Span
ish people ale NOR ready to accept
such an arrangement.-Glob Demo

Perpetual Light Invented.

j. 3. Nickum, of Logansport Ind.
has in all probability discovered the
most wonderful light ever used in the
world. Several prominent business
men here have been given an oppor-
tunity to view the light and examine
t., and they are loud in their praises.
Nickum is beseiged with mail and
kilograms of inquiry as to his won-
dcrful invention. j. 3. Nickum, q
brother of the inventor, to-day in
formed the correspondent of the
Globe-Democrat that an exhibition
of the light would he given to the
newspaper men of the city in few
days. The following statement, pre-
pared and signed by the inventor, s.
B. Nickum, was to-day given out for
publications:
"The Nickum perpetual light is in
the form of a globe or sphere of
glass hermetically sealed. The light
is inside the globe and is produced
by a compound, the nature of which
the inventor will not divulge. Those
that have been exhibited show the
illumination diffused throughout the
globe instead of being in the form of
q flame. The cost of manufacture
will be inconsiderabie and the in
ventor is determined that it shall be
sold at price that will place it with
in reach of everybody. Tho light
will retain its brlliiaucy SO long as
as the glass globe remains unchanged.
The globe remains cold, there being
no loss Of heat from tho interior to
the outside. The light is not a phos-
phoresccnt glow, butt is produced
in q similar manner The result is
Obtained by taking advantage of the
ever present surrounding moving
matter, air operating upon proper
ly constructed globe, the interior OF
which contains matter In certain con-
ditions which will not ut present be
made public. The candle-power of
the light is not dependant upon the
size of the globe, but upon the sub
stance and conditions within it."
.sTbe above statement that the
light will remain permanent is based
on actual tests and not upon theory.

Tesla's Wonderful Light.

The doom of the flashlight photo
graphs..has been decreed by Nikols
Tesla, the Servian wizard, who is
about to show to New Y ork and the
world at large another triumph of
electricity. He announce today that
he has perfected vacuum tubes of
snch high illuminating power that
they may serve the greatest light
house of the future, piercing even
the densest fog, while night will be
made as daylight to the photograph
er. The patient work of several
years, interrupted by the burning Of
his laboratory on West Broadway in
1895, has been required to perfect the
invention. He is not yet ready to
describe it In detail, but fits success
is beyond the mere possibility.

that the money would not leave the
community where it was deposited.
Instead of going to large business
centers for investment, as would be
the case in the purchase of all other
securities which have been mentioned
it would stay directly in the county
and be utilized aud paid out to the
people of the county. The benefit to
the county and to the country gener-
ally from the building of good roads
is hardly to be estimated. In many
sections of the country the road ia
cilities are SO bad during part of the
year that it is impossible to do any
hauling, or if hauling is attempted,
tho farmer makes nothing more than
wages at it, and gets nothing for the
crop which he is transporting. Good
roads and prosperous communities
go togather. The railroads are will
ing and anxions to lend every effort
to the construction sof good soads,
ballast and material at cost,
as it is to their interest to tap as large
all area Of country as possible, thus
their freight traffic.

Mr.. Tesla announced the result of
his investigations to-day, in the Elec-
trical Review, which also reproduces
two OF the photographs obtained.
| Mr. Tesla's vacuum tubes and osciila-
tor have united to produce the light
! by which the remarkable photo
graphs now completed werc produc-
ed. Every line of the objects photo
graphcd show out with great dis
tinctuess. A picture of man, made
under the light of a single vacuum
tube at range of 5 feet, with an ex-
posure, reveals every fine wrinkle in
his face. while the hairs of the beard
and the eyelashes stand out distinct
ly. The taking Of this photograph
did not subject the sitter to any of
the inc0nvienccs attending the use of
ffashlight.
"I expect soon to-" said Tesla, "to
have the tubes SO improved that
with the use Of only one:I can photo
graph the largest building perfectly
on the very darkest night. This,
though, is only the first step in my
experiments. am far from having
obtained the limit IN the amount of
light producible. believe this
method of illumination will be en-
ployed eventually. in light houses, and
this, imagine, will be considered the
oldest and most unl0oked-for de-
velOpement.
In taking the photographs Tesla
estimated the frequency of the ocllla-
tions which were obtained from a
direct current supply circuit, at about
100000 second. This great power
consumption makes it impractical at
present for the tubes to supplaAt the
incandescent light for ordinary illu-
mfuating purposes, for the consump-
tion is about ten times greater in the
tubes. The reason for this Tesla ex-
alains in the fact that vacuum tube
offers an immense radiatirg surface,
greater than ten times that of lncaM-
descent light.-Globe Democrat.

1t il. true. that most of Mexico's i'll
habitance cannot write or read, and
that her money per capita is about
one-third of the per capita circula-

Of the various methods of invest
ment by the Government of the
postal savings to be accumulated
through the postal banks which Post
master-General Gary proposes to
Congress to establish, that suggested
by General Roy Stone, acting presi-
dent of the Good Roads League of
America, seems to be one of the most
feasible and likely to bring the great
est benefit to the Government and the
people. Gen. Stone favors the pur-
chase by the Government with the
postal savings of county bonds to
run for a long period of years, the
proceeds to be utilized in the build
ing of roads in the rural districts.
The bad roads Of many sections of
the country. and their almost lmpass-
able condition during part of the
year, is notorious fact, and if Gen.
Stones proposition can be carried
into effect, it would seem TO be one
of the greatest advance steps taken
by the Government for some time.
Under his proposition there would
| be no tax whatever on the people for
the construction of the new roads.
asthe money which now goes to an
nual repairs could be used for pay
ing the interest on the bond. Gen
Gary has the subject of postas saw
