The defeat of Devlin was not the only
one suffered by the silver forces. An at
tempt was made to induce the national
committee to express itself in favor of
adhering to the ratio of 16 to /, but it met
with a disastrous failure. The Associated
Press reports today say:
The only movement made by the silver
men looking toward recognition by the
national committee was during the after
noon, when the Ohio Valley Bimetallic
league was admitted to the committee
rooms and James p. Tarvin of Kentucky.
acting as spokesman, read the resolutions
adopted by the committee earlier in the
day at the Palmer house. The resolutions
demanded that there be inserted in the
next democratic national platform planks
opposing trusts and imperialism and ad-
herring to the silver ratio of 16 to /. And
along these lines we offer you our aid,'
said Mr.. Tarvin. There was a defiant ac-
cent upon the word these that seemed
to imply that the support of the bimetal-
lists could be secured along no other lines
than these marked out. but of this the
committee took no notice. The Ohio VAL
ley Bimetallic league was courteously
thanked for it's proffer of assistance, and
assured hat it woul be called upon at
such times as the national committee felt
in need of it's assistance. That was the
beginning and end of the silver episode.
The testimony of the report calls for
no comment. 1t shows that the defiant
attitude of the silver men mad as little
impression on the committee as did the
the head of the press bureau. The gold
wing of the democracy is in the saddle,

BOB /NCERSOLL DEAD.

The Inter Mountains Geographic ad-
vices state that Colonel Robert J.. Inger-
soil, the noted infidel, died of apoplexy
thisa afternoon. The sudden death of this
distinguished atheist removes from the
sphere of activity one of the most re-
markable men of the times. Though an
orator of large abilities, a lawyer of un-
doubted skill and force, a family man de-
voted to the loved ones at home, he will
be remembered chiefly through the ag-
nostic literature he has given to he
world.
His works have the merit of skill in
construction, great beauty in word,
painting, brilliant flashes of wit and a,
fraternal philosophy that oftentimes
touches the heart and fills the eye with
tears. But they have the demerit of tear
ing dow and destroying the highest and
hottest hopes of the human soul-of TAX
ing away the comforts of faith and Civ
ing to the weary way-farer no star-lit

beauty lie great trenches of doubty reek-
ing with the noisome doors of the hope
less dream of life. If they have stripped
from Gods sacred message to the soul
of man the inventions of misdirected re-
ligious thought, they hav likewise laid
the weight of despair Upon the healless
hopes Of the broken heart.
Time will rescue from the false phil
osophy Of this erratic reasoner of our
day the gems he has given to the world,
and due honor will he accorded the mag
nificent intellectually of the man. Bob
Ingersoll is gone. Beyond the reach of
criticism n of praise he has touched
the infinite measure Of man, and in the
solemn drapery of death solves the prob
lem that made a mockery of his pen.

ABOUT THE Isle" OFH.

An amusing incident is told anent the
recent escape of the editor Of the Helena
Telegram from being walloped by the
governor Of the state of Montana. AS re-
lated in these columns yesterday. his ex-
cellency, who is physically a large man
and much stronger in that respect than
he is politically, invaded the den of the
quill conductor of the Telegram and de-
handed satisfaction. Now. the editor Of
the Telegram is a small man physically,
and might readily be mistaken for a cross
between Alexander Stephens of the late
confederacy, and the celebrated midget,
Tom Thumb. General Funston is of he
roic mold compared with the physical
outlines of the Telegram editor.
1t appears that while the late unpleas-
antness between the big governor of Mon
tana and the little editor of the Telegram
was at it's height. the former made the
following reassuring remark:
eff you We're not such a small man, I'd
teach you a lesson!"
Whereupon the editor acknowledged
the courtesy extended by the State of
Montana SIS, as follows:
"If / wasn't such a small a you
wouldn't have come in here"
The silence that followed this bit of
repartee was so profound that n could
have heard a remark drop.

When the vote was taken yesterday to
remove a free coinage man from the
head of the literary bureau of the ma
tional democratic committee, two states
were disfranchised. Mr.. w. j. Bryan,
silver democratic candidate for the pres
idency, held the proxies for the national
committeeman of Michigan and South
Dakota, and he refused to vote! 1t was
a test of strength between the silver and
the gold forces for the control Of the ma
tional machinery of the party, and Mr..
Bryan refused to take sides! But the
courage he manifested later in the day
in attacking the policy of expansion and
the evils of imperialism was enough to
make Aguinaldo weep with gratitude!

SCIENCE.

The. new field of dark photography is
beng diligently explored. The pioneer
was Colson, who three or four years ago
found tina heat with a little moisture
darkened a sensitive plate like light, and
later, that the air near certain bright met
ais had the same effect. In the latter case
he supposed the action to ba dut to me-
tallic vapors. Russell discovered these eff
fects independently, and a few months
! ago showed that peroxide of hydrogen is
the active agent. He found that ozone
does not affect the film, this fact giving
a mems of distinguishing between perox-
ide of hydrogen and ozone. Mr.. J. II. Vim
cent, of Cambridge, Eng, has now proven
tina ozone causes certain inactive and
! substances to become active, rubber, gut
| ia percha and camphor being thus made
to affect the plate, and that, as with Rus
sell photographs, the active agent passes
through paper, gelatine, etc., but not
through metals, glass n quartz. Cam
phor ozonized for ten minutes gave a
good picture with an exposure of a quar-
ter of an hour. Russell's explanation is
! accepted for these new dark photographs,
which are supposed to prove that peroxide
of hydrogen is produced by the ozone's
action.
The struggle for existence is a contest
for carbon, in the view of NJ. Charles
Richet. The activities of life depend upon
the force set free by the burning carbon
and hydrogen in oxygen, these three ele-
ments being the essential foods, the oxy-
gen being abundant for all purposes,
while the available carbon is only one
three-hundred- thousandth as much Life

complex and Unstable combination This
carbon is continually uniting with oxy-
gen in slow combustion. passing from one

conclusion drawn from Manchester's ex-

Great telescopes are very costly, while
their use requires more favorable atmOs-
pheric conditions than the smaller in
struments. and their gifts have been
greatly exaggerated in the minds OF
/ many. Professor G. e. Hale shows, how
ever, that the large glass has an import
ant mission to perform. 1t has the a d
vantage over the smaller lens of giving
much brighter star images. and thus
making visible fainter stars, of giving
at it's focus a more highly magnifed
image, and of separating closer double
stars and more minute markings on plan

discoveries as the fifth satellite of III.

Thorough tests made by the German
government during a period of two
years indicate that the corrosion of any
metal or alloy in sea water is largely de-
termnied by the electrical relation of
other metals in contact with it. Pure
aluminium bronze, for instance, was
practically proof against corrosion by
sea water when in contact with metals
electromagnetic to it, but was quickly
destroyed while in contact with electro
positive metals. Only those metals near
together in the electrical scale, therefore,
should be used in contact in ~shipbuilding.
Iron bronze was practically unaffected
by an exposure Of two years to sea water,
but the action on alloys containing much
zinc was considerable. Iron, tin and
aluminium bronzes in contact with iron
suffered very little deterioration. Iron
bronze in contact with tin bronze lost
two-thirds of its strength, being partially
destroyed by the dissoulving out of the
zinc; and wrought iron bronze in contact
| with cast iron bronze was similarly af-
feoted, the wrought plate losing 60 per
cent of it's strength in two years.

When one end of an iron bar is raised
to a red or white heat, then plunged into
cold water, the other n appears to be
heated by the sudden cooling. This phe-
nomenon has recently been a much-dis-
cussed puzzle to physicists, and at last
Professor E. Lagrange has described to
the Belgian academy some experiments
thai seem to throw light on the matter.
Nothing is found that is inconsistent with
the ordinary laws of heat conduction. If
the cooler end has not reached it's sta
tionaHy or maximum temperature when
the other end is plunged into water, it's
heating is not stopped at once, but it
reache sits maximum sooner when the
other end is cooled slowly, and that max
imum is lower. When fully heated before
the cold water plunge, this end, like the
other, begins to cool at once.
