NOT WITHOUT PRECEDF NIT
Delegates to Ohio Democratic Conven- ton Thrown into Stew by Publica- ton of Article-Political Revo-
 lution Would Follow.

Dayton, O., Aug. 22.-A special to the Gin cinnah Times-star reproduced here this evening says:
 John R. Mclean will not be represented by Daniel McConville or any other of his sub-lieutenants at the democratic conven- ton here, instead, MT. Mclean will be ap- pointed by President Mckinley to succeed Russell A. Alger as secretary of war
 This caused more stir among the dele gates than anything that has been sprung for years at Ohio conventions. The story was believed by many of the delegates. They cited the case of Hayes appointing Keys, a southern democrat, as his post master general, and later of Cleveland mak- ing Gresham his secretary of state and said that Mckinley had appointed Lee, Wheeler and other democrats to leading places and that greater surprises in politics than this had happened. It was conceded that if Mclean should become McKinleys secretary of war and the Enquirer an ad- ministration paper 1t would cause a politi- cal revolution, as Mclean and his paper has been the most potential factor in this state, Kentucky and Indiana for free sill yer.

When asked concerning his mission here. senor Vicuna replied
 My mission is especially to foster the relations of friendship between the two countries and to advance our commercial relations. There is now a line of steamers plying between the west coast of South America and New York, and we hope that the commercial relations between the two countries will be fostered in the future We hope the United States will become one of the chief consumers of nitrate, which is produced in Chiqi. We desire to have the advantages derived from using nitrate in agriculture brought before the people of the United States.''
 American lumber, furniture and machin- cry, especially agricultural machinery, said he, are being used extensively in Chilli, and lately there has sprung up very promising import trade there of cotton manufactures. In cotton manufactured goods this country, in some respects, he said, Is competing fa- vorably with England and France, though the trade in this line is in it's infancy.
 Spaeking of the feeling of friendlness be- tween the two governments, he remarked that the people of Chili call themselves the younger sister of the United States and fully appreciate the enormous influence ex- ercised by this country in preserving peace tn South America.

How Long 10 a Thought :

How long does 1t take a man to
think? Prof Richet, at the meeting OF
the British Association, gave the re-
suits of his investigations into this
subject. He found that by mentally
running up the notes of the musical
scale for one or more octaves, and
then dividing the total by the total
number of notes thought of, the time
taken for each note was one-eleventh
of a second. There are various ways
of arriving at conclusions as to the
amount of time necessary for realizing
any physical sensation or mental i'm
preston. If the skin be touched re-
peatedly with light blows from a
small hammer, person may. accord
ing to Prof. Richet, distinguish the
fact that the blows are separate and
not continuous pressure when they
follow one another as frequently as
1000 a second
The smallest intervals of sound can
be much better distinguished with
one ear than with both. Thus, the sep
arateness Of the clicks of a revolving
t0othed wheel was noted by one OBJ
server when they did not exceed sixty
to the second, but using both ears he
could not distinguish them when they
occurred oftener than fifteen times a
second. The sharp sound of the cleo
trio spark of an induction coil was
distinguished with the ear when the
rate was as high as 500 to the second.
Sight is much less keen than hearing
in distinguishing differences. If a
disc half white and half black be re-
volved it will appear gray when its rev.
olutions exceed twenty-four per second.
It has been found that we can hear
far more rapidly than we can count,
so that if clock-clicking movement
runs faster than ten to the second
we can count four clicks. while with
twenty to the second we can only count
two of them.
