Material for sIectriaI Resistances
From the New York Evening POst)


new material for electrical resistances
has just been put on the market in Eng
land. II is a mixture OF kao in and pun
bago, ground together, and afterward
baked at very high temperature. During
the process of manufacture The resistivity
Of the material can be varied considerably,
according TO the uses to which IL is TO be
put. IL viii prove very useful for the
starting resistances for electric motors, re-
placing a number OF coils of wire set in
q frame; while q ring of this new ma
terial eighteen inches in diameter and
three inches in section is large enough for
q fve-horse-power motor. For electric
heating and cooking appliances il is espe-
eially well adapted, as pots and pans can
be made of it. the current sent through
them, and thus the heating Of the con-
tents mag be effected. Blocks and strips
of various sections can be made OF ii, on
which may be placed the articles to be
heated or cooked. II. as Is claimed, the
new material can be manufactured as
cheapiy as the ordinary wire resistance
coils, other things being equal, there ought
70 be q great demand for it

THE SUSPENSION OF BEDLoE.
Impressions That the Consul VIII
Make Satisfactory Explanation.

Behind the suspension of DR.. Edward
Bedloe, of Pennsylvania, from his duties
as Consul at Canton. China, there are ac-
cusations the nature of which the State
Department declines to disclose. It was
pretty definitely aseertained today by the
Times reporter that the action of DR..
Bedloe in granting an American register
to the Filipino filibuster Abby was one
of the least of the matters which brought
about the present predicament of the con-
sui. Tho case of the Abby was disposed
of practically some time ago, and the
State Department may not make 1t an
issue in the investigation Of Dr. Bed,oe's
official conduct.
The fact remains, however, that repre-
sentations affecting DR.. Bedloe's official
conduct at Canton are on file at the State
Department and that he is coming home
under suspension to answer these. 1t was
said today that he would start for Wash
ington Immediately on landing in the Unit
ed States.
The complaints against DR.. Bedioe ap-
pear to have originated with Rounsrille
Wildman, United States Consul General at
g.
in Consul General Wildman's jurisdiction,
the latter made complaint to the State De-
partment against the action Of Consul
Bedloe in granting an American register
to the Abby. 1t is frankly admitted at the
department that DIR. Bedloe exceeded his
authority in granting the register. but offi-
cials profess confidence that DR.. Bedloe
merely made a mistake, which, they say,
he will probably be able to explain salts
factorily.
Some OF the other allegations are be-
lieved to have been made by Consul Cen
eral Wildman. 1t is hinted that the trou-
ble In which DR.. Bedloe has become in
volved is traceable to the fact that he,
like other consular officers in the East,
was not familiar with the numerous new
international questions that arose as a re-
suit Of the establishment of American au-
thority over the Philippines and the sub
sequent rebellion against that authority.
Hubbard Taylor Smith, Consular Clerk
and Acting Consul, at Hioga, Japan, has
been ordered to Canton to take charge OF
the consular Office during DR.. Bedloe's alb
sence.
Ii was learned this afternoon that the
suspension of DR.. Bedloe had been due to
charges against him made by the Chinese
government. The charges are that DR..
Bedloe took official action in violation OF
treaties between China and the United
States. Details of the character OF the
charges are not obtainable. Investigation
of the allegations has been conducted by
DR.. David ]. Hill, the Assistant Secretary
of State, who Is absent from Washington,
and officials are rot as familiar with the
case as he is

SACRED IMAGE ON A CLIFF.
Strange Figures Cut in Rock in I.
Mountain Quarry.

Mountain Quarry.
(From the Philadelphia TiTncs)
In these final days of the nineteenth CEN
tury one does not look fer miracles, and
pilgrimages of the deyout are few and far
between in this country. Yet not so many
miles away. in New Jersey, there is the
manifestation of a miracle that is attract
ing thousands daily all intent upon
glimpse Of the divine work, for such they
really believe 1t TO be.
Long professions of people. mostly the
Italians living in the neighborhood of the
Oranges, are daily making their way to the
stone quarry of John O'Rourke, half way
up the steep side of the Orange mountain
to do homage to a peculiar yellowish spot
in the side of the cliff. The figure is de-
clared by those who have seen it TO bear
a striking resemblance to St Anne, and
not one of those who have made the pill
grimage could be induced to be ieve other
than that the yellow spot in the cliff is
an appearance of the saint and child as
they are pictured in the sacred paintings.
The place where the figure has appeared
is at the west side of the quarry, and about
fifty feet up the face of the cliff, which is
too precipitous at that point to admit Of a
close inspection. From the ground the
figure appears to be about a foot in
height, composed of bright metal and
seen through glass bears a resemblance
TO the figure of a woman. Miss O'Rourke
the daughter of the proprietor, inspected 1t
through a spyglass and she declared that
she could without difficulty make out a re-
markable resemblance to the trad .tional
figure of St. Anne.
John O'Rourke. the proprietor, discov-
cred the figure three weeks ago. There
had been small rockslide on that side
0f he r. he fnS toI
the cliff every morning to make sure that
that it was safe for the men to work in
that vicinity. One morning he was sur
prised to see the shining figure. He said
nothing about it, however but when it
remained for weeks as bright and charply
defined as at first, he became interested and
On Saturday called the attention Of some
of his workmen to it.
The Italians Immediately declared the
figure TO be that of st. Anne and pro-
claimed the appearance a miracle Several
priests visited the quarry, but who they
were could not be learned. Bystanders
said tho clergymen seemed much impressed
with the figure.
Mr.. O'Rourke himself believes there is
something supernatural about the mani
festation- He was asked yesterday to have
a stairway and platform built to enable
pilgrims to reach the figure, but would
not do so. A number of boys tried to climb
the steep sides of the cliff to the figure,
but were at once ordered by Mr. O'Rourke
to come down.
The stone In which the figure has ap-
peared is a solid face of bluestone, and the
figure seems to stand out in relief. In the
sunlight II seemed to be Of copper or brass,
and when gazed at through a glass a faint
radiance, such as reflected by bright metal,
could be distinguished.

Reason I'm Religion.
(From the independent


They are not good friends of religion
who announce magisterially that religion
Is something apart from the reason and
must be accepted by another faculty which
they call faith. What they call faith is ut
ter credulity, and some of them know 1t,
and it is their purpose, apparently, to dis
credit and not 10 help religion. They say,
with all the assurance of one who must be
believed on faith and not on reason. be-
cause what he says ''is so," that religion
differs from other affairs Of life in that its
fact cannot be proved by reason, but must
be accepted on faith, improved. Now this
may sound very religious, but 1t is a part
OF the doctrine OF devils," whose end,
purposed or unpurposed by those who pro-
claim it, is 10 undermine faith by remov-
ing its foundation. There is no faith
worth anything, In religion or in politics,
that does not rest ON reason. II we believe
IN God there must be a reason for il, or We
should be agnostics. IL We believe in the
Christian religion there must be good rea-
son for il in history and ethics, or We
should remain deists. This is good scrip
ture and good sense. People will not ac-
cept religious faith without reason, and
they ought not to; for sensible faith can
have only good reason to rest on.

rode on my bicycle from Blantyre
ON August %. and reached Mr..
stroud's Mrs. Bunce's agent before the
sun went down. and after waiting for
few minutes. started again inst after
sunset by the time I got to the Ma
mail crossing (where my private road
crosses the Blantyre-Zombra main road
beyond Mr. Morkel's plantation) II had
got quite dark, except for a little light
tho new moon was giving. The main
road has only just recently been made,
and IS quite soft and lumpy. besides be-
ing very steep for at least half It's
length. The rest OF It IS fairly level but
none Of 90 Is IN a condition for cycling
yet. except the portion which extends
from my first plantation to my house
which was made some time ago, and Is
now nice and hard.

ed, and started pushing my bicycle up
the hIll, but before l had gone far
heard a heavy body pushing its way
through the bush on my left I thought
II was some big game. possibly an Gland
or buffalo, but as / felt certain

the excitement failed twice. The third

him more and more distinctly every time

there was an open culvert across the
road, some 200 yards ahead, hut there
