WITHOUT DEBATE
Senate Unanimously Passes the
Cannon Defense Bill Without
Amendment.
Every Senator Present Voted for
the Measure and Every Alb
sent Senator
Was Recorded as Being in Favor
OF It..Pairs Broken to Go
on Record.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The presi.
dent at $40 p. m. signed the measurs
appropriating $50, 1873, 900 for the ma
tiona! defense, and it is now a law.
WASHINGTON. March l0.-At 1:4O p
m. the speaker took the chair and an
nounced his signature to the national
defense bill.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The vice
president signed the defense bill at 8
o'clock, and it was hurried to the White
House by special messenger. The vice
president will announce to the senate
that he has signed the bill when the
senate meets. There are presidents for
this procedure, although it is unusual.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-In antici-
patton of a discussion Of the So, O0O, 900
emergency bill, people rapidly filed
the galleries of the senate. Two hours
before the senate convened, spectators
began to appear in the galleries to Sc
cure desirable seats and long before II
o'clock the public and reserved CALLER
les were filed.
On the floor of the senate thes at
tendance was unusually large when
the vice presidents gavel fell, calling
the body to order.
At the conclusion of morning bust
ness, Mr.. Hale Me- Of the appropria-
tions committee quietly rose and said:
II report from the committee on ap-
preparations, without amendment, an
act to supply urgent deficiencies for the
current year, and for other purposes,
and I ask that it be placed on it's
passage"
The bill, which was the measure ap-
propriating $50, 1885, 900, of which $780,
600, 900 was placed at the disposal of
the president for the national defense
was then, amid an intense silence, read
in full AT the conclusion of the read
ing, there being no amendments to the
bill, it was placed on its passage.
Senator Hale asked that the yeas and
nays be called. Such unanmity as
the roll call developed was as unusual
as it was significant. Pairs were
broken Oh both sides of the chamber in
order that all OF those present might
evidence their patriotism and desire to
uphold the hands of the president in
tbs time OF emergency by voting
directly for the measure.
Within 26 minutes after the senate
had convened, the roll call had been
completed, and the vice president had
announced that the bill was passed, 76
senators voting in the affirmative and
not one in the negative.

yandais Deceived at Mount Vernon

On the posts of one of the old beds in
the mansion at Mount Vernon are small
glass knobs with sockets drilled into them,
which fit little spikes, but do not fasten
on. 1t is perfectly natural for visitors to
place their hands upon the knobs, and
those who do Immediately perceive that
they can be taken off. The next step is TO
slip them quietly into the pocket and carry
them away as relics of the sacred place.
Although an attendant is employed to
watch this room, there are so many visit
ors that it is impossible for him to prevent
such pilfering, and the glass knobs have
to be replaced two or three times week
during the busy season. but that costs very
little trouble and expense. factory near
Pittsburg turns them out for 80 cents a
gross, and Mr.. Dodge is in the habit OF
ordering a barrel of them every spring.
There are several thousand of these glass
knobs scattered over the world, in mu'
seums and private collections of mementos
and historical relics Many more are
doubtless concealed for reasons of consci
ence and fear of discovery, but the guilty
persons need have no concern. The orig

Velocity Of Ocean Waves.

The velocity of waves is said to depend
primarily upon the power and continuance
of the wind, but it is greatly modified by
and bears an ascertainable relation to
their magnitude and the depth of the wa
ter over which they travel. 1t has been
calculated by Airy that a wave 100 feet in
breadth and in water 100 feet deep travels
at the rate of about 10 miles an hour; one
l. 900 feet broad and in water 1000 feet
deep at the rate of As miles; one OF 10000
feet in breadth and in water 10000 feet
deep will sweep forward with velocity OF
not less than 154 miles an hour. Bache
stated as one of the effects OF an earth
quake at Samoda, on the island of Nippon,
in Japan, that the harbor was first emptied
of water, and then came an enormous
wave which again receded and left the
harbor dry. This occurred several times.
To evaporate water enough yearly from
the ocean to cover the earth, on the aver

Spectators at Banquets.

All the large banquet halls in New York

served and listen to some Of the speeches

rule, they find no cause to regret their
coming. Occasionally, however, q man
lacking discretion finds himself In the
chair of the presiding officer, and as a bid
for applause or laughter he may indulge
in profanity or stories that are broad.
When such a thing does occur, the spec
tators leave the galleries without attract
ing embarrassing attention, and they gen
orally go rather early, for there are scenes
near the close of every big banquet that
are not always pleasant to look upon.-

Military Marches.

In military music the march occupies
prominent position, and has been EN-
ployed not only to stimulate courage, but
Also from about the middle of the seven
tenth century to insure the orderly adj
vance of troops One of the earliest In
stances of rhythmical march is the Welsh
war strain, "The March Of the Men of
Harlem" which is supposed to have orig.
mated during the siege of Harleoh castle
in 146s. In England the military march
was of somewhat later Developments.
Sir John Hawkins, In bis History OF
Music, tells us that its characteristics was
dignity and gravity, In which respect II
differed greatly from the French. which
was brisk and alert. And apropos OF this
subject, the same author notes witty re

Price Paid Fer . Paraso1 by the Founder
Of Monte Carlo.
M. Blanc, the founder of the casino at
Monte Carlo, was very eccentric.
He was never known to play at the Ia
bles except on one occasion, and then 10
was a somewhat costly experience.
While on visit to the Wiesbaden casino
with Nine B1anc he was in the habit OF
accompanying her on q morning stroll
each day. During one Of these walks
madame complained Of the heat OF the
sun and requested her husband to buy her
q parasol Accordingly the two entered
o shop, where madame selected a very
pretty article, worth 80 francs-about 4S
4s-which M. Blanc, with scowl and
muttered grumble, paid.
When the casino opened at noon, great
was the astonishment Of the croupiers and
visitors to see M. Blanc place 3 louis on
the red at one Of the trente ct quarante
tables. The attendants hastened to get
him chair, but this he declined, saying
he was only going to remain few min
utes. When the cards were dealt, he won,
and, taking up his winnings, left the orig
inal stake on the table. For q second time
he won, and had now got back the price
of the umbrella. But not content, he ven
tured another louis, which this time
| he lost Somewhat annoyed at this, the

and won, thus getting back the cost OF the
umbrella again.

The Tarpon of Florida Waters.

The tarpon frequently attains length
of z feet or more, with weight perhaps oil
more than 200 pounds. Such magnificent
specimens, however, are seldom taken upon
hand tackle, and most anglers are willing
to regard fish weighing 100 pounds as
very satisfactory catch.
The tarpon is very closely related to the
herring, and besides its great size, strength
and gameness it is remarkable for its enor
nous scales, some Of those from fist
weighing $50 pounds measuring inches
across. Over the greater part OF the body
the exposed portion of the scales Is covered
with an epidermis which resembles frosted
silver, while the back of the fish is greer
and beautifully iridescent. The lower jaw
projects strongly, a sort of indication of thu
resolute disposition of the fish. The las
rays of the dorsal fin are prolonged into al
appendage of considerable length.
The tarpon is not, In Florida at least
