is predicting a democratic congress
with absolute assurance. The commit

Gratis In the East. In Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois alone a democratic gain of
twenty-five is almost certain. These
states now have only fourteen demo-
Gratis in the present house. Wisconsin
is expected TO give a certain gain OF
one. and a probable gain OF three is
expected from Michigan: three from
Minnesota. two at least, and probably
three from Iowa, one from Nebraska.
and two from New York. The commit

Should the republicans capture all

NOTES or SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY

An unusual instance OF mountain
railway construction, which at the
present time is being carried on with
remarkable raDidity. is the line from
Scheidegg, Switzerland. round the great
glacier of the Eiger, past the Monch
IN TO the very topmost point nearly
Of the Jungfrau. the height of the sta
ton near the summit being 1869 feet
above the level of the sea, and that Is
Justly considered one of the most nota-
BILE Of modern engineering achieve
ments. During the past season travel
has been practicable from Interlaken
to Scheidegg by rack railways already
I'm operation. one of these leaving the
the other at Lauterbrunnen. The new
railway will. when completed, take pas
sengers 1000 feet above S~cheidegg. The
locomotives are to have cog wheels fit
ed into a rack, the openings in which
correspond to the teeth of the wheels,
the rack being placed between two steel
rails of the ordinary adhesion pattern.
The motive power is to be supplied by
electricity. while the tunnels and gal
lerles will be lighted throughout by in
candescent electric lamps. 1t is expect
ed that the line will be in operation
to the top of the Jungfrau in three or
four years.
Photographers will probably not be
slow to avail themselves of the new form
of a~ctinograph, which, without mention
of the inventors name or residence, has
recently been described, and which is
claimed to possess the advantage OF
great portability. and allows the use of
interchangeable light scales for all lat
itudes. The light scale Is in the form of
a card, having on its back a table OF
factors. which slide in grooves at the
back of the lockwood plaque upon which
the data necessary for calculating the
exposure are engraved. There are four
scales, corresponding respectively with
the light, the lens, the exposure and the
speed of the plate. The light is indi-
Gated by means Of curves for every day
in the year and for every hour OF the
day when it is photographically active.
The amount of light, apart from at
mospheric influence, is, at any given
hour or any given day.. fixed. being a
function of the suns attitude. The unit
of light is the 100 part of the brightest
possible diffused daylight when the al
titude of the sun is 80 degrees. This is
one a~ctinograph degree. The lens scale
shows the ratios of apertures to focal
length in general use, and the exposure
scale indicates exposures ranging from
1-20 of a second to one minute. The
speed scale is based upon clearly de-
fined limits. Sliding etwee this and
the exposure scales is a similar slide,
upon the upper edge of this being hVe
points, pointing simultaneously to five
different times of exposure. and mark
ed very bright" bright" mean
dull" very dull" the exposure be-
ing selected opposite that point most
nearly corresponding with the atmos.
pheric conditions.

A new process of clay casting, or por-

has been introduced in Germany, says
the Neueste ErfinduGren. 1t seems
that i'm this case the mass Is not, as
heretofore, worked cold upon the pot
ter's lathe or pressed into "A mould, but
is finely ground after careful drying,
then melted at a prescribed heat in an
electric furnace and poured into a

ing becomes necessary in most cases,
II the walls of the mould are sufficient
Nv smooth, otherwise ii is allowed to
cool off after the solidifcation of the
cast to a certain temperature, and final

form, thin layer. The advantage of
the new process, as set forth, consists

The peculiar system by which the
city of Amsterdam obtains its water
supply from the sand dunes bordering
the sea is probably not exceeded in
scientific interest by any other method
in any part of the globe. These dunes
are composed of sand blown up from
the seashore, their basis also consist
ing of sand. although this is mixed with
peat at some points, and at the sea Level
layers of compressed peat are frequent
ly found. 1t is noticeable, too, that
these peat layers are never u on
the sides of the dunes next the sea,
The rainfall in the dunes ~percolates
through the SAND and flows landward
and seward. so that the surface is a
cone who's apex is the summit of the
dune. which, sloping both ways, forms
a continuous watershed. Now, not
only is the dune water fresh above sea
level. but IT is perfectly fresh to a deptf
OF some &C feet below sea level. This
fresh water being found at such deptf
under the dunes, while the water a
the same depth in the immediate neigh
hnrhood is salt. goes to prove tina
either the subsoil must be based OF
fresh water-the hydraulic pressure o.
the dune water preventing sea impreg
nation-or that the water, original,
salt. has become freshened by this dun
water pressure.

The speeches made by MI. McKin-
ley on his western trip were not i'm
promtu by any means. On the contra
ry, they were carefully prepared before
he left Washington, as a result of nu-
merous conferences with Boss Hanna
and other party leaders, and, while APP
parently non-partisan, were intended
to aid the republicans in the c~ongressi-
onal campaign, by harping on the ne
cessity Of the country's presenting a
united front and standing by the adj
ministration until the treaty of peace
has been signed. 1t was a shrewd po-
litical dodge, as it is certain hat the
treaty of peace will not be made public
until after the congressional elections,
even should it be concluded before
then, which is not at all probable.

NcMILLIN STANDS BY THE RECORD.

The Nashville Banner man, who in
reporting the McMillin-F Fowler can
vass, said in that paper recently:
Mr.. McMillin is making the fight &C
cording to his own ideas and is doing
something that Democratic candidates
for Governor have not done before
since the adoption of the Constitution
Of 1870. He is defending previous
Democratic administrations and stand
ing square up to the Democratic record.
He defends measures made Democratic
by their enactment by Democratic leg
gislatures. Heretofore Democratic
candidates for Governor have for some
reason not defended their predeces-
sors's record, nor answered the attacks
on Democratic laws. Discussion of
Democratic laws has been lodged and
candidates have confined themselves to
a discussion of platforms without de-
Tense of previous Legislation. They
seemed to take the position that they
were not responsible for what others
had done, and sought the franchise of
voters on promises of what they pro-
posed to do. The election laws he'd,
for instance, never been defended, but
Mr.. McMillin defends them separately
and explains their necessity from a
Democratic standpoint. There is no
question but that an organized opposi-
ton was at werk to secure the repeal of
the Jarvis law, the Estes law and the
law placing A%ttorneys-G General on sala-
ry, but by his bold stand in their de-
Tense, assisted by the newspaper dis
cussion, this effort has gone to naught
and a majority of members sent will be
instructed to stand by these laws and
they will only be amended to meet GER
tain requirements to render them more
effective.
Mr.. McMillin addresses himself to
young men, and discusses the nature
VI UnO SOfOIuLuSAb duu VIC ulI6T6uC6S
between the Democratic and Republi-
can parties. He then takes up state
matters and presents the Democratic
view as to the condition of the state
treasury. While there are, of course,
some charges like those in connection
with the penitentiary scandal, for which
individuals are responsible, that can
not be answered, yet he upholds the
party record in matters of legislation,
all along the line. He brings in the
free silver question on the ground that
it is one in which the people of the
state are interested in this campaign
for the reason that they should know
what sort of men their governor would
appoint Senator in case of vacancy, this
possibility making the question an
issue,

The arrest of Senator Quay, for con-
spiracy in connection with the failure
of a Philadelphia bank, has been much
talked about in Washington. Opinion
is not unanimous as to whether Sena-
tor Quay is innocent or guilty of this
particular charge, but aside from a few
men who are under personal obliga-
tions to him, the letters from Quay to
the cashier of the Bank, who COM
mitted suicide after the bank closed its
doors, have added to the opinion long
held by most persons who know his
business habits, that Quay is utterly
untitled to hold o seat in the U. s. Sen
ate. Quay is, and has been for years,
a regular stock gambler, and has never
hesitated to make use of knowledge OBJ
tanned in his official capacity to gamble
in stocks for his own profit. He was
one Of the most prominent of the Sena-
torial sugar spectators, whose opera
tions shocked the country, and brought
about an alleged Investigation, while
the tariff was under consideration by
the Senate Finance Committee. AT
the Investigation, Quay adopted bluff
ing methods; told the committee that
he sp~eculated in sugar or anything else
whenever he wanted to, in effect ask
cd what the committee was going to do
about it. Noreal patriot will deny that
the country would be better of if all
such men as Quay we're driven out Of
the Senate and kept out.

BE ON YOUR GUARD.

An effort will be made by the repub-
licans to vote their constituents upon
fraudulent poll tax receipts. A circu-
lar letter is being sent to all republl-
col trustees containing the following
clause; "The unpaid poll tax question
is our only serious trouble, and we
want you to do everything in your pow
or, LEGAL OR OTHERWISE, to collect eve
ry poll tax possible between now and
the November election, and in this way
get our friends in shape to vote" This
letter is signed by J. w. Borches, vice.
chairman, and shows that they mean to
win either by fair or foul means.
Democrats are urged to be on their
guard and the first person caught at
tempting to use a fraudulent poll tax
receipt should be promptly arrested
and given the benefit of the law.
1t will not be out of place to state in
this connection that the prospects for
electing a democratic Congressman in
this district were never brighter. Mr..
Gouchenour was in the city yesterday
and is feeling very much encouraged
and has good reason to be. Wherever
he goes he meets crowds of leading re-
publicans who declare they will not
support Brownlow but will support
him. All that is necessary for the
democrats to win is for every voter to
go to the polls and get his neighbor to
do SO. If this is done the d~isaffected
republicans will do the rest and Hugh
Gouchenour will be our next Con-
gresham.
