A LIGHT IN THE KEYH0LE.
A Denver Inventors Idea for the
Benefit of Men Who Get Home
Late.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
The need of an easy way of finding
an elusive keyhole at night has
frequently impressed itself upon men
in many parts of the world, and even
women have run across this difficulty
at times. Inventors have tried to
to make it easier for person to get
into his own house, and only recently
a lock was described in the Sun which
could be worked by merely turning a
knob back and forth certain number
of times.
Out in Denver an inventor has come
to the rescue with device which he
has patented. His scheme is to
illuminate the keyhole. To do this
he put small incandescent electric
lamp within the lock not far from the
keyhole. This lamp is connected with
an electric circuit through contracts
made between the lock and the door
frame by means of the latch and
small button, which is pushed against
the lock by spring when the door is
shut.
This circuit within the lock is
broken, and push button, which can
complete it, is inserted in the outer
face OF the lock, and this runs through
the door. The man who comes home
late at night has merely to push this
button and the lamp glows and makes
the keyhole shine out brightly in the
darkness. Then if the man can find
his night key and handle it he will
have no difficulty in getting in.
There seems to be only one thing
lacking for his comfort. That is a
device to make it sure that the man
will not see two or more shining key
holes when he touches the button.

HANNA bought his seat in the Sem

people realize just what this means?
1t means the forcing through Con-
gress of the Wall street financial bill
by which the money of the Constitu-
tion will be destroyed and the $780,
100000 of non-interest bearing cur
rency will be converted into $500, ,OOO,-
600 of interest-bearing bonds. Those
who are rejoicing will continue to be
happy, while the people will bear the
burden and "pay the freight"-unless
they should prefer to 60 soldering.

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON FRIDAY EVENING, FEB 189&

rotation-as determined by the spots
Is about 1925 days. From the same
phenomena the Suns rotation at its
equator has been determined to be
about 26.7O days. This period cor.
responds almost exactly with that of
the forces detected within the Earth's
magnetic field - 26.6S days. This
agreement is in harmony with the
supposition that the true period of
the Suns rotation is that at its equa-
tor and not at the mean OF the Sun
spot BELTS"
Although new to the popular mind
to-day, this interesting theory that the
Sun and Earth are magnets was dis
cussed by scientists 40 years ago, but
discredited and discarded on what
Professor Bigelow says we're insufficient
grounds. 1t was argued that the Sun,
to exert magnetism as far as the Earth
-93,OOO,OOO miles away-must be
magnet OF greater strength than could
be admitted within the category of
probability. Recent observations, how
ever, indicate that the suns magnetic
force at the surface of the Earth is
normally one-half as intense as that of
a saturated steel magnet and occasion
ally ten times as great.
When asked as to the effect his
interesting discoveries might have
upon weather forecasting in the fu.
ture. Professor Bigelow said that he
had found an interesting connection
between magnetic laws and weather
conditions. Temperatures and pres
sures in the northwestern part OF this
country have been found to possess the
same period and the same semi-annual
inversion of the type curve-explained
before-as those estimated for the
magnetic forces. The magnetic period
which has been deduced with great
care from data dating back so years,
will give to meteorologists q new
method of classifying the apparently
lawless sequence of "highs" and lows"
of pressure which enter the country
in a costant procession from the
northwest.

Her Lifelike Statue.
Chicago TlmeR-Herald.


Before her marriage she had been q
famous sculptress. She had made
several portrait statues of well known
men, and everyone predicted for her a
still more brilliant future, when she
suddenly set all predictions at naught
by marrying wealthy man who dis
approved of her keeping up her pro-
fessional work. She was very quiet
under this restriction, but was
supposed to rebel inwardly. There
fore when at dinner party one even
ing she asked her old friend General
Bashar to come to see her on the fol-
lowing evening and inspect her last
piece OF work, which she thought the
best and most lifelike she had ever
executed, he supposed he was expected
to use his influence to prevail upon
her husband to permit her to resume
her place among the working fraternity
of artists.

she said, with a winning smile. alt

On the appointed evening the Gen.
eral, with some misgivings over the
delicacy of the task intrusted to him,
presented himself. Instead of in
viting him to the studio his hostess, to
his surprise, offered to bring her last
bit to him.
"Oh, lisa statuette, is itf" he asked.
"Well, yes, you might call it SO"
she answered, as she went out of the
room. In q few minutes she returned,
bearing in her arms-a baby!

A Remarkable Telegraph Line.

One of the many remarkable things
in Australia is the overland telegraph
from Port Darwin to the south of the
continent, which was completed in
1872. Almost the whole 1900 miles
of its length were through uninhabited
country-much of it waterless desert.
The wooden poles were prepared at
the nearest available places, but some
had to be carried $50 miles while the
iron poles were taken an average dis
tance of 400 miles by land. Over g.
600 tons of material had to be carried
into the interior, and the total cost
was 81 $4,000.

But we just kept a-shooting back at 'emwith our old Spring fields, and it wasn't no time before we had climbed over their barbed wire fences and trenches and had every one of 'em killed, wounded or captured"
 That's just the way we did the yam kees," said one of the old veterans. who had become enthusiastically aroused over the thrilling narrative of the young hero of Miami
 "Gen'ral Lee told us we did fine, and was so proud of us that he sent us all home to be mustered out, and gave us five months pay, so we could live till we all got the jobs back which we had before the war. Neither of us got wounded any, but lot of our men was killed in that battle of Miami"
 And having given the two countrymen a glimpse of their big roll of money, these two young heroes started down toward Twentieth street where the nearest soda fountain was situated.

 Replying to your Communication of re- cent date regarding nay Chicago speech, would say that I have made no change whatever in my attitude towards the south or in my idea of the elevation of the col- 0red man. I have always made it a rule to say nothing before northern audience that I would not say before a southern audience. I do not think it necessary to go into any extended explanation of what my position is, for if my seventeen years of work here in the heart of the south is not a sufficient explanation I do not see how mere words can explain.

more and more confirms me in the wisdom of what I have advocated and tried to do.
 In Chicago at the Peace Jubilee, in dis cussing the relations of the races, made practically the same plea that I did ill Nashville this summer at the Young Peo- ple's Society of Christian Endeavor, where spoke almost wholly to a southern white audience. In Chicago I made the same plea that did in portion of my address at the opening of the Atlanta Exposition, for the plotting out of race prejudice in commercial and civil relations" What is termed social recognition is question never disucss. As I said in my Atlanta address, 'The wisest among my race un- derstand that the agitation of questions of social equality is the extremest folly and that progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than of artificial forcing" God knows that both--we, of the black race and the white race-have enough problems pressing upon us for solution without ob- truding a social question, out of which

 'Yes," said one of the tawny youngsters, with self-satisfsd air of one who has just been mustered out of the service and who has his pockets full of government greenbacks, ''the battle of Miami was a great fight and you just onghter seen our fellows whip the Spaniards. They was en- camped on the top of steep hill looking over the beautiful little city of Miami, and they had to be taken or else we was whip ped.

The average American, who during the past six or eight months has been devoting a great deal of his time in keeping himself posted on the events of the Spanish <war, and who thinks he is well acquainted with the history of that remarkable conflict, would have been surprised to find out how little he knew, if he could have heard conversation which took place the other day down on Morris avenue under the Twenty-first bridge between two young veterans who had just been mustered out of the First Alabama, and two older vet erans who had fought some thirty years ago to maintain the honor of the Confed- eracy.
 The latter were farmers from the wilds of Blount county, and they knew very lit- tie of what had happened to the armies of their reunited country during the Spanish war; very little more than that the war had been fought and won. with decisive victories at Manila and Santiago.

allies that are not easy to account for. Satisfactorily it is probably the strongest situation this country has ever seen, not excepting the great boom of 1879 and 1880. We should be in the midst of an excited and speculative market but for two or, three considerations which have strong weight. The first is the temper of con- sumers who have been educated by the constant experience of the past seven years to look on every slight improvement as merely temporary and bound to give way under the pressure of our enormous pro- ductive capacity. The second is the eager ness of producers, large and small to get a very heavy background of orders to in- sure them against midwlnter dullness. which has had to be reekoned with in the past. Still another reason is the schooling that buyers have had in recent years in avoiding the carrying of large stocks in their yards with certain interest charges and possible shrinkage of value to bear. The msin reason, though, Is undoubtedlly the profound skepticlsm of the average buyer that we can ever again experience scarcity of iron in this country, owing to the increased capacity of furnace plants.
 "It is not impossible that there will be rude awakening to this confidence be- fore six months have passed. We have now in this country less than three weeks supply of iron in furnace hands. The Iron Age report of October 1, showed 628 728 tens. The reduction in September was about 1oo,ooa tons, and in ooteber, while figures are not yet made up. it is estimated

problem is to be worked out. Whenever I discuss the question of race prejudice l never do so solely in the interest of the negro; always take higher ground. If black man hates white man it narrows and degrades his soul If a white man hates black man it narrows and degrades his soul.
 Both races will grow stronger in morals and prosper in business just in proportion as in every manly way they cultivate the friendship and confidence of each other. Outbreaks of race feelings and strained re- lations not only injure business, but re- tard the moral and religious growth of both races and it is the duty of the intel-. ligent among both races to cultivate pa- tience and moderation.
 Each day convinces me that the salvation of the negro in this country will be in his cultivation of habits of thrift, economy, honesty, the acquiring of education, Chris tian character, property and industrial skill.
