Minute ProiectiIes.

In Professor schuster's laboratory
experiments have recently been made
by the aid Of an ingenious photograph
&c device, in measuring the velocity
with which molecules are shut off
from metal electrodes when a. shark
from a Leyden jar is DISCHARGED
through them. The average ve1ocitv.
within one millimeter from the pole of
the e1ectrode, was at the rate of near
ly mile and a quarter per second.
which is three times the initial veloc-
ity OF a modern rifled cannon projec-
tile. Yet this immense velocity fell
off so rapidly that, at distance of four
millimeters, it was only a quarter of "a
mile per second. The velocity varies
with different metals, and Professor
Schuster thinks the experiments NAV
lead to important discoveries in spec
trum analysis.

The Snail's Tongue.

The snaiIs tongue is really one of
the most wonderful things in nature,
and if larger animals were endowed
with as destructive an apparatus in the
way of tongue, in comparison to their
size, it would be a dreadful thing.
A snails tongue is literally a saw,
and a hand saw at that. It is long.
and covered over the entire surface
with teeth so minute that thirty thou
sand of them have been counted on
a tongue. The tongue is kept coiled
up and only about sixth of the length
used at time. When the teeth of
this section become dull another Sec
tion is uncoiled and used. This is
kept up until the entire tongue is
used, when it is coiled up again, and
a fresh start made, for the teeth on
the unused part have in the meantime
been grown to be as sharp as ever.
The roof of the mouth is as hard as
bone, and any substance that is to
be cut is drawn between the tongue and
this hard roof and literally sawed or
rasped off.
A man with a knife could hardly
trim off leaf and leave a cleaner or
straighter edge than the snail leaves,
and there is nothing of the proverbial
slowness of the snail in it's work.

JUST a PLAIN WOMAN AT THAT.
Yet Miss Anne Cunningham Saved

Yet Miss Anne Cunningham Saved
Mount Vernon to the Nation.
The story of how Mount Vernon was
saved to the Nation by woman was
entertainingly told to the Boston
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton by Miss Alice Longfellow recently.
Miss Longfellow's story was about
Miss Anne Cunningham, a gentlewom-
an of old Virginia, who, when passing
up the Potomac river one day in 1853
and hearing the steamer bell toll when
passing the grave of Washington, be-
came possessed with the desire to re-
store it. The place was then occupied
by a great-grand-nephew of the first
president, John Augustine Washing
ton. 1t was in state of decay, and
the generous hospitality of the owner,
who treated every passing stranger as
guest, made the expenditure of money
for repairs utterly impossible. When
Miss Cunningham ventured to tell him
of her plans he was filled with horror
that women should do that which
should so emphasize the degeneracy
OF men. But the determined woman
sent out urgent appeals. Her first call
was to the women of the south, and
on July IL, 1854, the first meeting
was held. Edward Everett was one of
the first to offer his services, and as
result of his lectures $6S,O0O was con-
tributed to the fund. Northern people
withdrew when they learned the prop
erty was to be turned over to Virginia,
but on March II, 1856, the Ladies'
Mount Vernon Association was formed.
A certain congressman had vowed
he would defeat the association, but at

sharp lookout through the thinking
between the logs for an attack in the
rear. Often she detected the Indians
crawling up on the opposite side from
that where the men were firing, and,
giving the alarm, they would rush
across the room and pelt lead into
their hides or scare them away.
The battle was kept up for about
seven hours with the loss all on the
side of the Indians. Finally they held
a big pow-wow, and, after killing all
our horses, mules, cows and hogs, they
rode Off up the river Satisfying him

in the tropics, then It would be to buy
our sugar from Germany or Java, and
our coffee from South America, where
the people are always kicking against
us because we won't open our markets
to their products, while they buy moth
Ing from us in return. In Hawaii we
nave good market and certain mar
ket, which will largely develop with
annexation. In Germany or Java we
have little or no market, and no as
surance that they will spend q dollar
here II they can possibly held it. By
all means let us develop our CONNER
cial relationship with our American
citizens in the Hawaiian Islands. Let
us bring them closer to us. Let them
prosper and we will benefit
through their greater purchases
OF our manufactures. And net
only do we need them as buy
ers and sellers of merchandise, but al
so as the American way-station for our
commerce between nations, across the
Pacific, just as soon as the Nicaragua
canal is opened. Then, if not today,
we will appreciate the Importance of
this trans-oceanic way station where
ships OF every flag will call for coal,
provisions and merchandise, that will
be supplied from our products of Am
erlcan farms and American factories.
The Hawaiian question is not ques-
ton of annexation for today, but a
question of annexation for the future,
when American supremacy upon the
Pacific must be permanently secured
and as permanently maintained.

ed condition. No appropriate stone
rises over it, the ground round about
is uncared for. and the tomb of the
great scholar and statesman is as OBJ
scure as that of a man whose name
and fame was no part of the glory Of
his country. His grave is destitute
even of headstone. It is covered by
an old-fashioned marble slab which
was placed there 100 years ago, and is
now worn and discolored by age. Moth
ing has been done to it since Franklin
was buried there, and even the mod
est arrangements of the grave are not
kept in the perfect condition that is
expected of a great mans tomb. The
earth on all sides is bare of grass, the
common thatching of the commonest
grave, and an air of desolation is about
the whole place. The sexton said that
the descendants of Franklin would not
do anything to repair the grave, neith-
er would they allow anybody else to
do anything. Every day he has re-
ceived offers of subscriptions from
visitors, who are distressed by the for

Court of Appeals decision declaring the anti

replied as follows: 1T will make no differ
ence to the scalpers, for the previous ad-
verse decisions did not in the least deter
them from carrying on their business. When
the hearing before the congressional COM
mittee on the law now before Congress was
held several scalpers very bluntly told the
committeeman that they were not affected
by laws. They declared that any law that
would affect them was not good law, anu,
therefore, they proposed to go right on with
their business l do not wish to criticise the
Court of Appeals, but will say that their
ruling will affect the public for it will pre-
vent us from making the many low rates
for excursions we had hoped to. OF course,
the New York Central will from time to
time issue specal-rate tickets. but not as
many as we intended to. Lately most OF the
railroad companies offered to issue half-rate
tickets to soldiers What was the result?
One of our detectives followed "a ticket

The agent was dressed in uniform. He Sc
cured half-rate tickets to various points,
showing in every case fake discharge

of these tickets at the ScalperS Office. we
hope that the Interstate Railroad Commits

only stop the sale of scaipers' tickets be-

BALTIMORE, Nov. cit is understood
that the. reorganization committee OF the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company has
reached an agreement with ex-senator Cal
vim S. Brice, who has recently acquired con-
troll of the Pittsburg & Western Railway
Company, under which the Baltimore d
Ohio Railroad Company will continue to use
the tracks of the Pittsburg & Western. This
arrangement will obviate the necessity of
diverting Chicago traffic by way of its
Wheeling division. The Wheeling route Is
longer than the PittSburg q Western, but
ii is used for freight purposes when the
traffic is heavy upon the other routes The
Baltimore q Ohio Railroad Company con-
trolled the Pittsburg & Western prior to the
receivership through ownership of major
ity of the latter's stock. The Baltimore &
Ohio also guaranteed its obligations. The
enbarra ssment of the parent property forced
the Pittsburg & Western into the hands of
a receiver and a few weeks ago Mr.. Brice
became the dominating factor IN the prop
erty by acquiring the bonds.
