Kansas City equal suffragists protest
against the proposed enfranchisement of
the Hawaiians. Filipinos. Ladronese. Caro-
iinians, Guamese. Porto Ricans and other
inhabitants of the American colonies. They
look upon the acknowledgements of the col
onists as the inevitable outcome of the
war with Spain, though the colonists
may not become American citizens for
many years.
But local equal suffragistS think that
American women are more worthy of ex-
ercising the right of franchise than the
far-off colonists who have been swept under
the aegis of the American people. The

ing over the Country.
The official statistics of the city of New
York recently published show that nearly
~three-quarters Of all the deaths of each
year arise from consumption or some
throat and lung trouble.
A person notices 4 slight cough. but
thinks it is nothing: or perhaps he raises
considerable phlegm in the morning, or
there is a tickling in the throat or a tight
ness on the chest. These are the first
symptoms of consumption. Doctors differ
as to whether consumption can be cured in
the last stages, but it can be cured in
nearly every case if taken in time. Do not
let il secure the least foothold. : Some pure
and powerful stimulant which strengthens
nature and restores waste tissue is the only
certain manner of throwing OF this ter
rible monster. Physicians have found that
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is superior to
any known preparation for this purpose.
1t is the only medical whiskey upon the
market and is SO acknowledged by the gov
eminent. 1t is the only medicinal whiskey
which bears the government stamp. Don't
be persuaded by any tradesmen to order
ANYTHING else.

MIRRORS FOR sEARcHL1GHrs.

MIRRORS FOR SEARCHLIGHTS
 One of the disadvantages of the use of searchlights in the warfare is that fire guns, and should a single shot strike the glass reflector it would be shattered and completely disabled. An English engineer, however, has recently devised an electrolytic method of preparing metallic parabolic reflect ors which are not only more durable but cheaper to construct and quite as efficient for ordinary purpose. As de- scribed in "The Electrician a glass mould is prepared, the convex side of which is accurately shaped and pol ished to form true parabolic or other reflecting surface. As the mould only requires shaping and polishing on one side, it is comparatively cheap com- pared to a glass reflector, which has to be ground on both sides. On the curved surface a coating of metallic silver is deposited, this being accom- plished chemically. Afterward this coating is polished. The mould thus prepared is immersed with copper anode in an electrolyte of copper sulphate, and rotated at about fifteen revolutions minute in a horizontal position. The copper is electroplated on the silver to which is adheres firm ly, and is subsequently, separated from the mould by placing the whole in water and gradually raising the temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, when the metal reflector will leave the mould on account of the unequal expansion of the two metals. The con- cave surface of the reflector thus obtained is an exact reproduction of the surface of the mould, and has the same brilliant polish, but 1t requires coating with film of suitable metal to prevent furnishing. Either platinum or palladium is used, and the coating electro deposited in the same manner as above described, using, of course, suitable solutions and anodes. Salt water when thrown on such a reflector, even when quite hot, does not tarnish the surface, the water being driven off as steam and the salt being easily re- moved with wet cloth. Such re- Hector recently tested at Portsmouth had a number of rifle bullets passed through it without sensibly affecting the beam of light thrown from it. On the other hand, the first shot fired at glass reflector shattered it to pieces. With a palladium reflector the intensity of the light is found to remain practically constant, as little or no furnishing takes place.-Invention.
