Inside of Q MOlecule.

The New South Wales government analyst, William M. Hamlet, delivered the presidential address in the section of chemistry at the recent meeting of the Australian Association For the Ad- vancement of Science, the subject being "The Molecular Mechanism of an Elec- trolyte."
 He defined an electrolyte as body in solution or state of fusion, capable of being instanteously decomposed by a current of electricity, and he claimed that if the explanation he offered was adequate for the electrolyte it must hold good for the constitution of the matter in the universe, so that the treatise on the electrolyte has a most important scientific bearing. The meth cd of Investigating the action of one body upon any other, he reminded his audience, was brought to 8 high degree of accuracy by the immortal work of Sir Isaac Newton. He alluded to some observations of the late Professor Cliff ford, made over 20 years ago, this au- thority remarking, almost prophetical- ly, "We can look forward to the time when the structure and motions in the inside of a molecule will be so we'll known that some future Kant or Laplace will be able to make an hypothesis about the history and formation of mat fer n-Nature

 the native is satisfactory if you have enough of him. He takes bossing well,
 and you can punch his head if things go wrong. In fact, he rather expects 1t than otherwise, and does not put his arms akimbo and march out of the house when you mildly suggest that the qual-
 ity of ants in the cake was not up to standard. For ants are everywhere, and unless the legs of your dining table and cook stove staEd in cups of kerosene, the ants will be apt to eat the dinner be- fore you do "For wages, these boys-and they are called boys till they die-get some $4 @ month, and on this salary my own serv- ant paid 10 per cent to the government, supported wife and two children, bought all his own food and Ian fight ing cock.

TRAINING A WARHORsE.
How He Tn Taught to Stand the BIaza

How He Tn Taught to Stand the BIazs
 and Thunder of Battle.
 A warhorse is broken to bo steady under fire by tying ropes to his legs. While the animal is down on the ground the officer takes pistol and fires it close to his ear. Then in rapid order he fires the weapon over his back. under his neck, between his legs, anywhere the horse's futile struggles. Not until he sinks back exhausted, all a-tremble and showing the whites of his eyes. does the pistol practice cease.
 After two or three lessons of this kind 1t is considered safe to mount him with a bridle furnished with curb bit. Up to this time the horse has never felt 8 curb. The light snaffle is still retained, and the curb bridle is only given gen. tie pressure at first, just enough to let him know that it is there. Gradually the strength of the pull is increased. and with this safeguard the horse is taught to stand fire from his riders pis- tol or carbine.
 In carbine practice the horse must be thoroughly broken, as both hands are required in using this weapon, whereas with the pistol the rider may retain the bridle with one hand
 Then comes saber practice, and that is another trial to the horse Again is he thrown to the ground, and he proba- bly can't understand why he should have to suffer this indignity all over again, for he has learned that lesson very we'll. But when the bright blade of the saber. with quick thruss flash ing before his eyes and cutting tho air in close proximity to his ears, appears to him he is again terror stricken.
 But the lesson he Las learned iron the smell of gunpowder stands him ill good stead. and he soon gets over his fear. And even with a man on his back and another mounted upon seasoned horse coming at him with saber raised in the air or slashing left and right ht knows that it is all a part of his educa tion and something to be, expected. Se he stands his ground or cAVorts abou the other horse while the two trooper indulge in their saber practice.-Nev York World.

who expect him to recommend a fed
jurisdictions bill or to interfere in To-
cal affairs are doomed to disappoint-
ment. There was not a line in any of
the speeches he made to the negroes
during his junket that could be o n
strued in the line of advice to them to
insist upon their equality or political
rights.
The washington correspondent of the
New York Post cites the following in
stance;
At Booker T. washington's institute
at Tuskegee, the president ave the
best-equipped negro youth Of the south
good advice on the subject of educa-
ton and Misunderstanding but he
made no reference to "a free ballot and
lier years. The negro agitators
throughout the country appear to have
comprehended these events, as well as
the significance of the presidents
speeches. They are accordingly hold
ing Indignation meetings, and declar-
ing that the president has gone back
on them" They think they are now
left to the mercy of their enemies.
1t is believed that the president
counts upon building up 4 white Re
publican party in the south. And yet
he owes his present position to the old
party organization of those states. It
was the negro that nominated aim. The
negro delegations of the south COM
prised the balance of power that MI.
Hanna regarded with such complacency
and estimated with such accuracy at
the st. Louis convention.
Under the dominance of Mr.. Hanna
the national convention refused TO rec
ognize contesting white delegations,
and assigned the seats belonging to the
southern states TO representatives of
the most venal of the negro organiza-
tons of that section. This made Mr..
McKinley's nomination in 1886 assured
long in advance of the balloting, inc it
gould doubtless be as safely relied upon
for the next convention.
But the president knows, for his
speeches in the south indicate that he
knows, that there never will be a Re-
publican party of white men where ne
gro ascendancy and Republicanism are
synonymous terms. Hence the guam
dairy of the president, Inc his silence.

M'KINLEY AND The NEGRO.

A New York correspondent of the
Times views the presidents recent tour
of the south as a revelation of dema-
gogy and deception. The object was to
build up a personal following in the
southern states. to create a favorable
sentiment in the matter of the treaty.
and to ascertain how far he might
safely go in the policy outlined for him.
This correspondent imagines the
president soliloquizing thus: Il need
votes, 1 must have votes. SO 1 will not
say anything about the numbering.
haying alive, lynching. and driving of
peaceable negroes from their homes:
nay, 1 will not even refer to the in
surrection and rebellion in North and
South Carolina, for my treaty must
be ratified. 1 will prepare several
speeches and go south. 1 will take
along with me General Wheeler. [ will
touch upon the subject nearest the
hearts of all true southerners."
An excerpt from his Atlanta speech
is given, wherein Mr.. Mckinley ex-
pressed a desire to share with ,ex-con-
federates in the care of confederate
graves, and the writer says: This
thought touched the hearts of old SOL
diers, and they shed tears-gushing
tears. He suffered a confederate badge
to be pinned on his coat. He made
the lost cause of the southern rebellion
more honorable and just than that of
the Union"
Attention is called to the fact that
the president paid little or no attention
to the negroes and their woes. THE
voices of 10, 600. 900 American negroes
move him not, but the voice of uncivil-
lied islands of the sea moves him to
tears, and even urges him TO have re-
spect for the dead enemies of the
Union" says this captious correspon-
dent.
Still, President Mckinley is in a
quandary over this southern question.
He knows the danger to which negro
domination would subject the south. He
is firmly convinced that white suprem-
acy is absolutely essential to good gov
eminent, or any sort of government al
all. He has made up his mind that
the most polite course for him to pur-
sue is to steer clear of the race war
While this has the appearance of shirk-
ing a responsibility, it is nevertheless
Characteristic of our chief executive.
The Tolberts and other agitators may
as well make up their minds hat the
president intends to let them shift fol
themselves. The negro miners of Hi
nois have long since arrived at such q
conclusion. Mr.. Mckinley is not pro-
voking a~ntagonisms now. His gaze is
on the future and his hand is OF the
! political pulse OF the country. Those
