According to a Superior court decis-

turber of the peace. The inference
from this. by those who don't know
whl., kind Of u state Pennsylvania is,
must be that the court enjoins bands
of music marching before a clam

A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

1t becomes more probable every day

he waged on practically the same is
sues, and possibly by the same candi-
dates. as were presented by the two
principal parties in 1896. In the cam
paign OF 1900, however, the republican
party will be at 4 grent advantage
compared with it's pos..on three years
ago. At that time, it will be remem-
bered, the country was greatly dis
turbed over the money question
which finally became the dominant one
in the campaign-3nd 1T was very hard
20 tell just how far the demand for
cheap currency lid infected even the
republican party. Up to the very tine
Of the assembling of the republican
national convention there were a great
many politicians Of that party who
were inclined to temporize or cCmpr0-
mise on the money question. The
term gold bug had become enc al
most of obloquy-certainly CT intense
prejudice, and men who were in favor
of the gold standard were tirnid rJbout
fatty declaring themselves its advo-
Gates. But the revolutionary attitude
assumed by the democratic convention
and its candidate sharply forced the is
sue. The republican candidates, Nc
Kinley and Hobart, n their letters of
acceptance planted themselves and
.-heir party so firmly on the single
standard Of gold that there was no
room for qufbb,ing. Then commeCcsd
such a campaign of education on the
financial question as the world had
never seen Before it was over the
friends of the gold standard LOST all
their t;midity. They bsc2me proud OF
their leading principle. so gTandly had
u been proved to be right. They no
longer stood on the defensive, but
marched with flying co1ors and bat
ing drums to the attack on a policy
which had been shown to be not only
pern:cious but un-Amertcan That
fight may have to be made again for
the benefit of men who have since chen
become voters. But the work this
time will be a hundr9d-fold easier than
it was three years ago. The campaign
of education of 1896 had an effect that
will last for many years. The state
convictions of the -sTufIican party
which have already been had this
year, of which that in Iowa few days
ago was a good exemplar, show how
uncOmprOmisingly and intrep-dly the
party now accepts the single standard.
There is no longer any terror in. the
name of gold bug" In 1896 it took
several months of the hardest kind of
work to bring she country to the state
of knowledge which it now has on the
money question. To be able to start
out on the campaign on principle al
ready approved by trial is great au-
vantage.

ARMY OFFICERS NEW WORRY
They Mus Travel Over the Sho-test
Routes Says a New Decision.

Was.ingtOn-The comptroller Of the
treasury has written letter 20 the
secretary Of war in relation to The new
table of distances which it is proposed
- issue for the government of army
officers mileage account The new
Iaymaster general had drawn up the
table and endeavoTed to induce the
comptroller to revise and approve II
in advance CT its publication, SO that
the officers who travelled by it might
be sure CT not having their accounts
held up in the auditing branch of
the treasury, but the comptroller de-
clines to bind himself in this way. The
law, he says, requires that mileage
shall be computed cover the shortest
usually Travelled route and "a is the
business OF the officers to Gollow the
law and Of the auditing officers to ex-
anime the record of each journey on
its own merits and disapprove in every
case where they find the law was not
actually followed. The trouble with
any fixed table, he says, is that the
conditions are SO continually changing
that what is the shortest route today
may not be tomorrow. 1T is an il
1t ration of what believe IS the ap-
plicatiOn Of an erroneous principle in
preparing the army pay table of
1897
As the comptroller's decision in mat
tiers of official pay are to all intents
final, this news will cause something
of a sensation in army circles, for it
means that wear and tear, loss Of sleep
by making nigEI connections, etc. are
not TO count, and that every officer
who tnkas for any such consideration
u route longer than the shortest by
actual mile measure, must prepare tn
pay out of his own pocket for such dl-
vergence from the literal directions Of
the statute. The differences between
the officers accounts and the allow
a1ces made by the auditive branch of
the treasury may be too smulI to war
rant a single officer in gong to the
cOulE of claims with demand for the
payment of his full account, but thsre
are plenty of claim agents On the
watch for such cases and the comptrol-
ler's construction of the law may be
reviewed there and overturned on a
test case. The treasury department
will then have the privilege of appeal

An Astonishing Clock.

New York World: There is on ex-
hibition In the Passage du Nord, Brus-
sells, the most wonderful t~ime-piece
which ingenuity has yet devised.
This "Welt Uhr," or "Nyorld Clock"
as it is called by the inventor, Herr
Noll, took five years to construct, and
its estimated value is 10000 marks
($15,O00).
The clock stands Is feet high, is a
little over IS feet broad and 5 feet
deep. 1t weighs between four and five
tons. The plan of the clock is that of
an early renaissance structure, walnut
wood being employed for the frontage
and the wings. The mechanism is cal
culated for n cycle of one hundred
years, and requires winding once a
month.
Not only are the seconds, minutes,
quarters, hours, days, weeks, months
and years indicated, but also the chief
religious festivals of the year and the
four seasons. These latter are her
aided in with music or the s~easonable
singing of birds, accompanied with
the play of beautifully carved figures,
These make their appearance with
mathematical accuracy at the secono
on which each of the four seasons com
mences, according to the calendar.
In the midst of the clock six steps
lead to the church doors. At 9 every
morning these open and disclose the
interior Of a tiny Roman Catholic ca
thedral, where mass is celebrated 10y
automaton figures to the sound o
choral music. Above the portal tn
painting changes four times a year tt
mark the four great festivals-Goo(
Friday, Easter day, Pentecost an(
Christmas-which, OF course. fall OF
different days of the week and uontl
each year. On each of these OCCASION
appropriate music heralds the appear
ance of excellently carved wood fig
ures
The mechanism, says the inventor, i
simple in the case of fixed festivals
but becomes vastly more complicated
for the movable feasts, which are cal
culated with mathematical precision
according to the calendar for the mex
100 years.

PHOTOS OF SOUND WAVES
Professor R. W. Wood, of Wisconsin
University, Succeeds in Sc
curing Them.

Madison, Wis. March 27.-Prof. r.
W. Wood, of Madison, has succeeded in
making photographs of waves Of sound
in the air. The sound wave is the
crack of an electric spark, and it is
illuminated and photographed by
means of the light of a second spark,
which flames between two magnesium
wires at some distance behind the
first, and at an interval of about one
ten thousandth of a second after the
first spark. The sound wave is thus
caught before it has gotten out of the
field Of the instrument, although NOV
ing with a velocity Of 1000 feet a Sec
ond. The appears as a thin cir
Gle of shadow with a light border, be-
ing simply n sectional view of the rap
idly diyerging spherical shell of CON
densed air constituting the sound
wave. BY placing a glass plate near
the point where the wave starts. the
reflected wave or echo has been photo
graphed, which appears as a circle
with equal but opposite curvature.
These waves were observed by Topler,
a German physicist, a number of years
ago, but they have Sever been photo
graphed before.
