ONLY WEIGHT COUNTS.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: eyes,
see go into the melting pot" said an old
mint attache. Folks in financial stress
bring Uncle Sam all manner of heir
looms which ara bought over the counter
for theirs naked weight in gold or silver
bullion. Art or antiquity don't count at
the mint, and a candelabra by Benvenuto
Cellini himself couldn't bring more than
a lump of raw metal fresh from the smell
ter. We get plate of every description,
Old watch cases, rings, chains, snuff
boxes. spectacle frames and jewelry
mounts without number. In this section
of the south there are several spectators
who make a business of travelling
through the rural districts and buying up
all the old gold and silver they can find.
They are experts in judging of the fine
ness of metal and they pay as little as
they can, so there must be a big profit
in the trade. AS a rule the stuff they
bring us and that finds it's way here
through other channels is old and bro
ken and uninteresting, but now and then
something of rare artistic value turns
up in the lot, and we would be only too
glad to take it out and make good the
coin value. but the law forbids. That,
by the way. is no doubt the very reason
why we occasionally get such articles.
People who are poor and proud would
rather have the identity of their relics
lost forever in the melting pot than run
the risk of exposing their straits by leav-
ing them with the pawnbroker, who
would probably give them two or three
times as much. Silver bricks tell no
tales"

THE POPUL/ST rs ENCOURAGED.

The movement on the part of the popu-
lists of the state to effect a strong, CON-
pact organization for the campaign of
mex year finds a great deal of encour-
Though the Helena Independent has of
late seriously crippled the science of
mathematics in it's efforts to show that
the national strength of that political
party has diminished to UGH insignificant
proportions as to excite the contempt of
a self-respecting democrat, it now esti-
mates the voting strength of that organi-
cation in Montana alone at 10000. In it's
interesting daily reference to the perfidy
of the Inter Mountain it said yesterday:
OF the vote for Hogan, in Montana, H.
900, perhaps 1000 were cast by silver re-
publicans, the others by populists.
If the learned statistician of the hide
pendent is correct in solving the problems
Of his political Euclid, it follows tina the
strength Of 1894, when they polled about
double the number Of votes cast by the
democratic party. Ten thousand populist
| votes for Mr.. Hogan last year destroys
| the former contention of the Independent
that the democracy had absorbed that ele-
ment and that there were no "legitimate''
populists left over from 1896 except in
those states where Watson was voted for
for vice-president instead of Sewall. It ap-
pears from the Independents own figures
that the 10000 p~opulists who voted for the
candidates on that ticket in 1894 kept
themselves unspotted from the world
up to as late a date as last November.
| This being the case, it is fair to assume
that the 10000 ~populists who voted for
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-07-19

Hogan-the 10000 populists who fused
| with the democrats in 1Ss6-the 10000
populists who supported Corbett in 1894
| will make it mighty interesting for the
democracy in Montana in 1900, for the
days of fusion have gone a~-glimmering''
and the capacity of the democratic party
to absorb that element is confessedly out
of working order.
The most melancholy feature of the In
dependents discovery that 10,0 0 populists
voted for Hogan last year, is that it may
lead to considerable confusion in politi-
cal circles as to how many Governor Bob
Smith took over when he had his re-
lapse at Anaconda. The Inter Mountain
has accredited his eXceIlency with, taking
over as high as twenty, but if the indie
pendent's figures are correct this esti-
mate must be revised and the number
brought down to one man or less. To fig
ure otherwise would be to say that the
poDulist vote had increased from 1894
to 1898, and that the increase represented
the number taken back into the demo-
cratic fold by the chief executive. This
might be complimentary to the influence
of the governors; but no man who was
born a democrat. fed on democratic milk,
and was rocked in a democratic cradle
as all democrats who aspire to office
claim to hav been-will willingly &C.
knowledge that the populist party grew
any in the atmosphere of 1896. At one fell
blow the Independent has robbed Gov
ernor Smith Of the, glory Of his achieve
ment in trying 20 hand his party over to
the democracy.

SCIENCE.

Probably as near an approach to per-
petual motion as has been achieved is
the electric clock started nearly a year
ago by Mr.. P. NJ. Ravenskilde, an Illinois
man. Instead of a handspring. the clock
has a wheel five feet in circumference,
with 100 ups in it's outer RIM, and the
weight of steel balls in 40 successive cups
keeps this driving wheel steadily moving.
Every minute and a half the ball DROPS
from one of the cups. 1t rolls down an IL
clined plane, closes an electric circuit,
and by the action of a motor thus started
is lifted over the wheel and dropped into
one of the top cups. An ordinary bat
terry, requiring no attention for a year,
supplies the power to keep the apparatus
running.

Baden workman. is claimed to cost only
half as much as the best Silesian or
Scotch coal, while having three times the
heating power. Peat moss and a specific
clay, with several residual substances,
are understood to be the constituents.
Most of these materials exist in the soil
in the suburbs of Mannheim, and it is at
this spot that a new coal factory is pro-
tected.

PSYCHOLOGISTS seem to be on the verge
of important discoveries. The old idea
that all bacteria are either disease-pro-
ducing or harmless proves to be an error,
and by experiments with the bacillus
megatherium of garden soil and the po-
tato bacillus. incent has shown that such
organisms may be transformed by culti-
walton into dangerous germs. The bacilli,
though Originally harmless. when inocu-
lated into animals become capable Of ex-
citing specific disease. 1t is pointed out
that this fact may explain such mysteries
as isolated outbreaks of contagious dis
ease; and if bacteria are capable of as
Stunning sudden virulence after many
generations of harmlessness, a new prob
lem is presented for study.

unexpected results. "A CIllu ely DIN
with the measles was on the second day
confined in a room with red blinds and a
lamp with an orange-yellow screen, and
in three hours the rash had disappeared
and the fever subsidized. On the child's
complaint of too little light the blinds
were opened, when rash and fever quick
ly returned. The red light was restored.
and in two days the cough was gone and
recovery was complete. Other cases fol-
lowing in the same family We're treated

Eleven different fats in emulsions have
been tested to determine whether they

The effects with cod liver oil proved to
be variable. The best results were given
by beef fat, olive, peanut and cocoanut

superior to cod liver oil.

masses on the bare hot ground, it's leaves
being small and rounded, and it's solitary
bell-shaped flowers not unlike the wild
lily-of-the-valley. The fruit, pale yellow
when ripe, resembles a small olive in size
and shap pc. 1t is filled with pulp and
seeds, and is said to taste like a Emixture
of nectarine and pineapple, with adash Of

The discovery that graphite is an al
lotropic form Of carbon was made in 1900,
and it is expected that in 1900 the artifi-
cial production of this mineral will take
it's place as an important industry.
Graphitized carbon electrodes have now
been made at Niagara Falls for a year or
more. The process-that patented by Mr..
r. G. Acheson, who believes it the only
commercial way Of making graphite
consists in breaking up a carbide by heat,
practically freeing carbon from chemical
combination by e~vaporating the associat-
ed elementary substance. The form of
produce expected to be IN greatest de-
mand is an Intimate mixture of pure
anonymous carbon and graphite, this mix
ture being most desirable for paint and
foundry facings.

the delay in notifying the instructor,

that the delay is caused by a reluctance
on the part of the university to accep,
the boards requirement that contracts
be made direct with the instructors and

obligations. President Baker is at pres.
