As result of recent settlement
of government claims against the
Pacific railroads, the treasury is to re-
ceive the magnificent sum of $123,
563,939.23. The debt caused by the
United States loaning its credit 10 the
Pacific railroad enterprises, and the
accumulation of unpaid interest, ag-
gregated such an enormous sum that
conservative financiers believed the
debt would never be paid in full. A
proposition to settle the claims at so
cents on the dollar was declined, as
was also a refunding plan which
would extend over hundred years.
1t is highly creditable to the present
administration that a settlement in
full has been secured, which in the
cases of the Central Pacific and Kan
sas Pacific is nearly nineteen millions
in excess of what the reorganization
committee originally agreed to bid
for the two properties.

1T rs SHAMELESS.

Each and every day there is a
roar in congress, that increase of the
army is wanted TO trample down
liberty in the Philippine islands, or
to suppress liberty at home. 1t is
merely partisan cry for the ears of
the groundlings, and is discreditable
both to the intelligence and to the
patriotism of those who utter it.
Our soldiers will not trample down
liberty in the Philippine islands, but
will establish 1t there; the few men
that are required to perform ordinary
duty about our coast Notifications,
or to check mob outbI eaks like those
at Chicago and Sacramento IN 1894,
will not suppress liberty in the
United States, but will render the
service necessary to prevent it; for
peace and order are the essential
elements, and very ground work of
liberty.
We have been carried by events
into some distant undertakings, from
which we cannot possibly retire with
credit aud safety. These undertak-
ings can be supported only with land
forces, to act in conjunction with
those of the navy. But wherever
our flag goes, it will be an emblem
of liberty, not of oppression. Good
patriots should not, indeed will not,
misrepresent and malign their own
country.
OF total army of 100000 men,
perhaps 10000 will be on duty in
the United States. In comparison
with the extent of the country, it
will be so small force that few of
our people will ever see a soldier.
The pretense that this army will en-
danger our liberties is an insult to
the American people, of which only
shameless politicians are capable.
The idea that one soldier to every
1000 inhabitants could be used to
overthrow the liberty and Cypress
u nation, composed of a people so
vigorous and intelligent as Ameri-
cans, with a government so demo-
cratic and so wholly in their own
hands, disables patience. Every maj
who uses such an argument, as we'll
as every man who pretends that our
course in the Philippines means en-
slavement of the people there, knows
himself to be cheap and pitiful
creature, lying from partisan and
demagogic instinct, IT'S pity so
many of such are in congress.-Ore-
gonian.

THE COLOR OF SNOW.

why 1t Is Generally White, but Some
times Red.
The white color of snow is the re-
suit of the combination of the different
prismatic rays issuing from the minute
snow crystals. Pounded glass and
foam give analogous illustrations OF
the prtsmatic colors blending together
and forming the white light out OF
which they had been originally formed.
The air contained in the crystals In
tensiies the whiteness OF the snow.
The snow from its loose texture and
the fact that it contains about ten
times its bulk of air is a very bad con-
ductor of heat, and thus forms an ad-
mirable covering for the earth from
the effects of radiation, it not infre-
quently happening in times of great
cold that the soil is forty degrees
warmer thar: the surface CT the over
lying snow.
The apparent redness Of now as
seen from a distance is often an effect
of light which adds a peculiar charm
to mountain and winter landscapes,
particularly in the mornings and ev-
enings, when the rays Of the sun fall
most obliquely on the surface CT TIE
snow. But snow Is occasionally found
both in Polar and Alpine regions Of a
really red color. This phenomenon
seems to have been observed by the
ancients, as a passage In Aristotle ap-
parently refers to it; but it attracted
20 attention in modern times till 1850,
when Saussure observed it IN the Alps,
and from chemical experiments con-
Guided that the red color was owing
to the presence Of some vegetable sub
stance which he supposed might be
the pollen Of a plant. The next obser-
vations on red snow were made in the
Arctic expedition under Capt. Ross,
when It was found extending over a
range Of cliffs On the shore of Batfn's
Bay for eight miles, the red color pen
etrating the snow in some places to a
depth Of twelve feet. On the return o!

fet Fills His 1cehouse with d Solid Cake
Mt n Cost af Five Cents a Ton.

>SSS "a L Gents a Ton.
An interesting and novel process
o procuring pure ice by natural
methods has been put in opera
ton by n resident of Claremont.
NJ T., Says the Boston Herald. A
year ago he had q building specially
constructed for his use. The expert
ment house is unique. 1t has no will
dows, but is fur Square, with a door
IN eacl side. The owner says he can
make ice faster in a house with doors
at the corners rather than in the mid
die Of the sides; still this one does
the business. Inside the house is
what might be termed another house
"a crate-water tight, and built SO as
to avoid rigidity of angles, and to al
low Of the expansion Of the water in
freezing. The expansion is one-twelfth.
80 the space to be left between the
sides of the crate and of the house
proper is easily determined. In the
early days of experiments more than
II house was smashed by the bulgiag
propenslties of freezing water.
At one end of the house is a stand
pipe from the main Of the Claremont
water works. The water is spring
water, but an application is made of
electricity to still further purify it as
1t stands in tanks after being drawn
from the source of supply. It rushes
first through a rubber tube to a tank
sixty feet from the main and on the
second floor of the building. Another
tube, sixty feet long, takes it to a second
tank. A third lets it run to the floor
of the crate. As it runs out it moves
slowly and more slowly, like clear,
cold, crystalline mo!asses still more
slowly-and stops, frozen. The ice
builds upon itself in the crate-form-
ing anchor ice, not a top film, and the
end is a crate of pure, solid ice of
such color as no one ever saw who
has been limited to ice cut from ordi-
nary ponds and rivers.
The tubes are arranged with respect
to the openings in the building SO as
to get the maximum amount Of cold
wind blowing on them. One days
experiment illustrates the process of
freezing. The water in the standpipe
was at forty-fve degrees. 1t was
eighteen minutes passing through the
tubes, and its temperature as it issued
upon the floor Of the crate was thirty
degrees OF two degrees below freezing,
anda total reduction of fifteen degrees.
The out-of-door temperature was at
about freezing.
If any n visits the experiment
house the owner will show him a crate
full of ice-one solid block of about
800 tons weight. The erection of
houses OF the type required is easily
accomplished anywhere, and the ice
can be manufactured at a cost of about
five cents a ton.

Queer Legal Tangle.

Mexico, left all his estate to his daugh-
ter, ana should she have died before
he did the estate would have gone tc
his heirs. The daughter was also on
the boat, and because she, too, has
heirs, the case makes a curious legal
tangle. The old Roman law held that
in case of shipwreck a person below
the age of-15 was presumed to die be,

Potatoes are sold by number.

there is in it it is impossible to tell.
During the first rebellion against
Spain, when the Spanish soldiers were
committing almost every outrage con-
ceiEable on the Filipinos, a troop pf
soldiers was sent to arrest a planttr
who was supposed to be aiding the
rebels. Somehow Aguinaldo heard of
the intended capture, and, at a great
risk to himself, went to the planters
house, informed him of his danger,
and took him and his daughter to a
place Of safety. While in retrea at

ELECTRICITY TO CUT STEAL BEAMS
A Recent Experiment in Chicago Which
Saved Time and Labor.

"A hCScht LIN III SAiSA8o w
Saved Time and Labor.
During the reconstruction of an
office building recently in Chicago an
interesting use was made of the cleo
trio current in cutting in two a cluster
of half q dozen heavy steel beams
which it was necessary to remove.
These beams were of the ordinary [
shape md fifteen inches deep. Ow-
ing to the difficulty OF getting at the
beams at the places where they were
to be cut, special saws would have
been required had the beams been cut
in the ordinary way, and it was esti-
mated that the work would take two
men about twelve days time and cost
about 800.
Instead of doing the work with back
saws, a method was adopted such as
scientific burglars invented for getting
into safe and vault doors of steel. A
current of electricity was brought in
from the electric lighting wires in the
street to do the work. The positive
terminal wire was attached to the steel
frame work of the building. to which
the beams were riveted, and the mega
tive wire was attached to a carbon
point one and one-half inches in di-
ameter, which was provided with a
wooden handle to enable the operator
TO direct it along the beams at the
places where they were to be cut.
An asbestos shield protected the
operators body from the heat and
black spectacles protected his eyes.
In twelve hours the beams were sew
cred, with an expenditure of only
about five-horse power in electric cur
rent, and the work was done by an
ordinary workman. New York Sun.
