wAvELAND MAYORALTY.

Contrary to all expectations, and
anticipation, too, insofar as the
townspeople of Wayeland are CON
cerned, the legal process of Oius
NJ. Bourgeois. Esq, versus the
town of Waveland, in which Ed
win Laizer, ESQ, is directly inter-
ested as the defendant, did not
terminate last week at the term
of court held for the county in
this city. When we consider the
complications growing out of the
life the case is consuming, the

must necessarily exist under such
conditions, and irving as they are

happy termination would he or Is

for the mayoralty, when the for

votes polled, was said to be eject

Bourgeois charges that the votes
we're not legal. that i, we're cast
by unqualified electors, and here,
from the moment that the ballots
were not of the requir J kind, the

That a move has been inaugu-
rated at Pennington to have that
town provided with a school
house and all the educational ad-
vanta ges due locality of so pro-
gressive proportions is step very
commendable to both the citizens
with their support as we'll as the
prime movers with their splendid
intention. Our correspondent
there writes of the zeal loaned by
the Rev. Mr.. Galloway who is at
the head and knowing the gem
tleman as we'll as we do by repu-
tation for his energy and efforts
which win him unstinted praises
it is safe to predict Il glowing sue
cess for the project. The first
step of progression is education.
If we would make strides in the
pathway of civilization; if we
would elevate the estandard Of man
and better worldkind in general;
if we would do ourselves honor
and justice to the generations
to come we must arm the present
with education. Pennington it IS
true has long since decidedly felt
the want of school facilities and
if the filling of such void has not
been accomplished until now it
were better if destined such work
to fall into So fruitful hands as
Mr.. Galloway aud his coworkers.

The Age of an Oyster.

He who wishes may find out the exact
age of an oyster, though he has not the
tell-tale evidence in teeth. The lines in
the groove of the hinge of the shell tell
the whole story, each line representing
a year. An oyster is of age at four
years-that is, he is old enough to vote,
take care of a family and go to mar.
ket. Going to market is a disastrous
undertaking, for four-year-old oyster
is particularly palatablc. BY this it
must not be supposed that after an oys.
ter has passed the four-layer period
and has five or six or even ten wrinkles
on his shell he is a back number. In.

ing eaten just after celebrating their
18th birthday, and in most cases they
formed a delicious meal. Thirty is
an unusual age for an oyster to attain,
because few are given an opportunity
to live so long. If left to enjoy life in
his own way, it is quite probable that
the oyster would become an octogena
rian, or even centenarian.

BELLS RADIAL KITES.
Got of Much Practical Use, But Rath eH
Curious Ventures AZ Scientific
Experiments.

The greatly increased use of kites
tor scientific purposes of late years has
sprung from two distinct causes. One
desire to ascertain the tempera-
ture, humidity and other character
stics of the atmosphere at an eleva-
ion above the earth for comparison
with surface conditions, in order to
promote, if possible, more accuracy in
weather predictions. The other OBJ
iect in view has reference to aerial
navigation, and deals with the shapes
and surfaces that give the largest sta
bility and lifting power.
Prof. A. Graham Bell, inventor of
the telephone, has long felt a lively in
terest in the second subject, and has
followed the experiments of his friend,
Prof. s. P. Langley, with much eager
ness.
The latest number of the Monthly
Weather Review mentions some work
which Prof. Bell has been doing at his
country home in Nova Scotia.
Most of the new kites which this in
yenious amateur tried resembled the
cellular" or "box" kite Invented by
ooISIdSCJ III that tuCy "CIC COAAApOSCO
Of two members, one ahead of the other.
The cellular kite consists of two cells
separated by an open space. which is
carefully proportioned. They are con-
nected by two sticks, one above and one
below, both extending along the cen
raj vertical plane of the whole device.
Prof. Bell has employed only one back
bone instead of two, and from this he
caused two sets of wings to radiate,
one set forward of the other.
When he tried only two wings in
each set they did not reach out in the
same plane, but either slanted upward,
at the same angle with horizontal, or
else slanted downward sharply. He also
had two different ways of making a
three-winged kite. In one type he had
absolutely fat wings, and in the other
they were wedge shaped, the blunt
end of this wedge abutting against the
central rod or backbone.
He made four-winged and FIVE
winged affairs. and in some of his ex-
periments varied one of these forms
by attaching a conical tail, or else a
mall revolving fan for tail. Instead
of radiating wings, he would occa-

boys. There were many congressman
who would not vote gratuity for the
pages, and who would try to defeat it
But Henry Clay always stood by us. and
at the close of each session we usually
secured an appropriation of 5000 each,
in gold, in addition to our regular sal
aries. Mr.. Morrill, was also our friend,
and he never tried to prevent the adop-
ton of our annual bill.
"Daniel Webster knew all of the page
boys by name, and he always spoke in
kindly manner to them. In the SEN
ate he had an especial favorite, of
whom he was very fond. His name was
Arthur German. Daniel Webster en-
courayed him to study law and make
man of himself. AS result, primari-
~, of this interest which Daniel
Webster took in him, young German
entered politics, and for the past IS
years he has been a member of the
senate and leading democratic politi.
clan. I guess the page boy, Arthur
German, has been one of the best and
ablest men in the senate during the
present generation. They tell me, too,
that Senator German has always been
kind to the page boys, never forget
ting that he was at one time IN a
similar humble position.
''While Senator Morrill, was in the
house of representatives there was
big man there from Pennsylvania who
was handsome, able and popular. His
name was Galusha A. Grow, and he
came from Pennsylvania. He was made
speaker of the house and filed the
position with great ability. Twenty
five years passed away, and I read in
the papers that Galusha A. Grow had
been elected to the house of representa-
tives in 1892. I could hardly believe
it was the same man and concluded
that it must be a son of the same
name. I waited until the congress
assembled, and went to Wizards hotel
every night to look at the register.
Finally 1 found the name of Galusha
A. Grow there; and it was the same
handwriting that I knew SO well as
boy. I sent up my card, and was in
vited to come to his room.
81 went up with bell boy, and when
I entered there stood big man, with
partly bald head, gray hair, gray
whiskers and, back of them all, the
same old face. He stepped briskly for
ward, took my hand and said: We'll,
sir, what can do for you?
81 stood still minute, looking at
him carefully, and at last I said: Are
you the same Mr.. Grow that used to
be a member of the house of repre-
sentatives when was boy"
He laughed and replied: I don't
know when you were boy, but used
