ODD OPTICAL PHENOMENON.

The green ray" an optical phenom-
enon which has been made the foun-
dation of a story by Jules Verne, is a
fash of greenish light seen as the limb
of the sun rises or sets under certain
conditions of the atmosphere. The
sea horizon is good Tor observing it, but
the effect is occasionally seen in Alps
or other mountains. and, according to
Plot Bey in a paper to the Academic
des Sciences, Paris, it is often to be OBJ
served in Egypt, from the point of the
Delta to Alexandria or Suez, either at
rise or set of sun. The ray is dis
tinctly visible, and always of an emer-
aid green, which Is brighter as a rule
at sunrise than at sunset. At sunset
when the eye can follow the effect bet
ter, the ray sometimes appears longer
and ultimately takes blue tinge.
This blue ray has also been observed
preceding the green ray at sunrise,
for example, by William Gaff, near the
ruins of Memphis, not far from the
stepped pyramid of Saggarah. He even
thinks the ancient Egyptians were ia
miiar with it, because in monuments
of the fifth dynasty and Others the sign
of "Kha," representing the rising sun
has the outer streak of blue color and
the two inner streaks are green. Their
writings also speak of the greenness Of
the sun on rising, and they liken it TO
an emerald. 1t is evident from all
this that the green ray" is an object
i've, not a subjective, Phenomenon, and
that the horizon of the sea has nothing
to do with it. Nevertheless, the state
of the atmosphere evidently has to do
with it, ana that Of Egypt, ordinarily
pure, seems to have much, for the ray

THE SCOTT VICTORY.
Republican Ring Leaders Were Pleased.
Other People We're Not.

republican Rms Leaders Were Pleased.
Other People Were Not.
The news Of the selection Of Hon.
n. B. Scott by the Republican caucus
as the choice CT the party for United
States Senator, was received in this
city yesterday with varying degrees
of emotion.
The boys who run the machine were
immensely pleased, and said that I'M
der the circumstances any other result
was practically impossible.
I'VE put up a tall front, down there
said one machine man to a Register
reporter. Il tell you, when the Ohio
county delegation Of Scott workers
lined up. things were bound to hap
pen. The people down there think
they know something about politics,
but-they don't. They don't under
stand the thing as a fine art. They're
behind the times. We just took hold
OF things, and applied the Ohio county
method of campaigning. and in a few
days we had a cinch on the situation.
and not even Golf could have won out,
while Atkinson was beaten as soon as
we struck the town. Was Elkins for
Scott? Sure. So were other people
in Washington. Say, on the quiet, it
was a big deal from away back, and
the Scott men have been laughing at
Wesley Atkinson all the time. He
was never in it, at any stage, strictly
speaking, and after the Wheeling peo-
pie got on the ground he only had a
little over a dozen votes he could
count on sure"
The rank and file of the Republicans
we're not particularly enthusiastic over
the news. A great many very good
party men used bad language when
they heard of the result-but, as the
Register has heretofore remarked, it's
q family fight.

COLONEL ROGERS HOME

-
Colonel w. w. Rogers arrived hoH,s
yesterday afternoon from the State
capital. The Colonel looks a little
tired. He remarked. when seen by a
Register reporter last night. that he
had been through many warm expsr-
fences before. but the political fraeaS
enacted at Charleston. oceasioned by
the scurry for the Republican Sena-
torial plum. was the hottest he ever
had the honor of participating in.
The Colonel said that, although he said
nothing about the matter, it was his
honest conviction all during the fight
that brains with no %pecuniary backing
could not successfully buck up"
against a barrel of coin made up Of
Scott 5 roll the Ohiocountyring'sror the
Fish Commissioners and all its at
taches' roll, the Internal Revenue roll.
and others too numerous to mention.
He said under the circumstances Gov
ernor Atkinson made a good fight, as
was demonstrated by the balloting, but
it was of no use.
When asked how the Governor took
the defeat, the Colonel said that he
verify believed that the Governor had
reasons for not wanting the nomination
very bad. While at the same time he
thought the Governor would have ap-
preciated the honor, yet at the same
time. If one can judge from actions,
the Governor was al much pleased as
any one at SCOTS nomination. He
was standing in the reception room OF
the State House joking when the final
ballot nominating Scott was brought
in. On hearing it the Governor turned
to the door. saying to those present:
Hurry up. l wan to be the first to In
troduce Mr.. Scott. the next United
States Senator from West Virginia.
II don't think the Governor regrets
very much losing the nomination" said
Colonel Rogers.

EX-CHiEF KLIEVES.

Just at this point the interview given
q Register reporter by ex-Fire Chief
Elieves, the night he was turned down
by the Republican ring Council caucus,
is interesting. He said:
IF | had chosen to be dictated to be
certain persons" he said, Il would not
have been compelled to fight my way
through two years OF service as chief
Of the fire department. This crowd has
attempted to run the fire department."
Then, after a momentary hesitation,
he added:
"The initials Of one of them are
James K. Hall
And the initials of another are
Charles Hennins-
"And-well, you can guess the

Il am as good a Republican as any
man who ever voted the ticket.
They had committees to wait on me,
and tell me who TO remove, who to APP
point, and how generally to conduct
the fire department so as to please
them. If I had been satisfied to be the
nominal head of the department only
to draw my salary and let the Ohio
county ring run the Department.
would probably have been reelected.
The ring is responsible for what
ever lack of discipline there has been
in the department. If l reprimanded
or suspended a man, he went to his
Councilmanic friends, and they waited
on me and insisted upon the suspen-
sion being removed. In the Porter case.
for example, the man was %insubordi-
nate to both his foreman and myself.
and when ! suspended him he coolly
informed me that he would go off If

AN INQUIRY.

To the Editor OF the Register.
1t is reported IN the streets that the
old water works pumping station was
sold by the Water Board. If so, l
would like you to print in the Register
the price received by the Board for the
material and machinery in the old
plant. l ask these questions, because
l see in the city statement in your
paper this morning an item under the
head OF City Water Board'-miscella-
neous, S749.60." The amount of money
received on miscellaneous account was
about the same as the above figure last
year. Certainly If the Board sold the
station, more money than is contained
in this miscellaneous item was re-
ceived. l am told that a prominent
contractor said the old building con-
tanned stone worth at least $1,000.
Some information on the subject would
probably quiet the rumors in cireula-
ton concerning the disposition of the
property above referred to.

Gentlemen:-It gives me pleasure to
certify to the good effects from Paine's
celery compound for my patients in
general debility and liver complaints.
Andrew l.. Lundgren, NJ. d.
Why do the ablest physicians in
America openly prescribe, use and rec
'ommend Paine's celery compound?
First, because Paine's celery com
pound is not a patent medicine. 1t is
not the discovery of some quack doc
tor of whom his profession never
heard; it is not a concoction put up
by some man who first invented a
name, and then adopted a preparation
to fit it.; and it is not a secret remedy.
But it is. first, the result of the life
long study Of the greatest physician
America has produced, a a whose
reputation was world wide years be-
fore he had ever arrived at this Won
derful formula; a man who has re-
ceived the highest degrees from the best
colleges, who was at the time Of his
great discovery a professor at Dart
mouth and a lecturer in other uniYer-
sites, a scholar and a member Of a
family which has made its mark in
every department of public life in
America-Prof. Edward Z. Phelps,

VARIOUS NOTES.

Tiny Williams, the well known
jockey, who has been spending the WIN
ter in Columbus, states that he will
sign no contract to ride next season
for the present, but will enter the sea-
son as a free lance" After racing
gets good he will be open for offers
from responsible wners. Williams is
a friends of George Dixon, the colored
featherweight, and declares that the
next time Dixon and Gardner meet he
will get his checks down on the colored
boy. Il saw their last fight" he says,
land am sure that Dixon can win the
next time they come together"
Jacob Schaefer has sent a challenge
to George Slosson to play a match for
the billiard championship, and if ad-
vices the wizard has received from
New York are correct there is little
doubt the match will soon be made.
The challenge is for two games, one at
cushion caroms and the other at 49,
inch balk line, for a side bet of $500,
both games to be played in New York.
The challenge is the result Of a letter
which Schaefer received Arom his
nephew in New York, and Which gave
Dick" Roche as authority that Frank
Ives was out of the game forever.
1t has been rumored around the
clubs for some time that Richard
Croker would probably race on this
side next summer. 1t can be announc-
ed upon authority that the leader OF
Tammany will go to England early in
the spring, and that he will remain
abroad during the greater part of the
racing season. He may race a small
stall .e on the local tracks in 1900.

Paine's celery compound in preference
TO any other remedy.
Because it has prolonged the lives Of
thousands of sufferers; it has made
their sick patients well.
The best test that can be applied to
Paine's celery compound is to use it.
If one is run down." feels without
energy, lifeless, useless, fretful, take
this great remedy. and note the change.
In its peculiar ability to at once in
vigOrate the body, to make new blood
and to regulate the nerves, lies the
great value Of Paine's celery compound
in all wasting diseases and disorders
of the kidneys, liver and stomach.
A neglected complaint, though slight
at the beginning, may through neglect
cause a lifetime misery. The ringing
in the ears. the backaChe or the general
debility unless the body is braced up
again, may teach one by bitter exper-
fence that disease can creep through
very small holes.
Paine's celery compound stimulates
the kidneys. improves the appetite and
digestion, drives out any scrofulOus
tendency in the blood and actively en-
courages the nutrition of the nerves
and organs with the result that the
whole body takes on flesh and color
the surest indication Of improved
health.
