A Quicksilver Fountain.

| The government of Queensland is go-
ing 20 show the world such part of
ot 1t as may Visit the forthcoming ex-
hibition vi Earl's Court. that the colony
can produce quicksilver equally with
America. Spain and Austria.
mere pool OF quicksilver i'm a glass
case would be no indication at all. so
those responsible for the arrangement
of the Queensland section propose to
show this precious liquid mineral lend
ing new and effective beauty to a
fountain. says the London Mail.
c. Bright. f. II. $. T., A. NJ /. c. T.,
Is the engineer responsible for this no.
vel departure in the way of fountains
ana he gave some interesting details OF
its construction TO Daily Mail repre-
sentative yesterday.
This" he said "can hardly be called
a fountain in the ordinary =aeeeptaiinn
or the word, for the difficulties OF deal
ing with such heavy body as mercury
are too great TO allow of jet such as
one sees playing i'm Trafalgar square.
What we are gong to have is an ar
rangement of two basins. one above the
other. These viii be OF iron. enameiled
black, 10 give a greater effect to the
falling quicksilver. the top one some
nNe feet in diameter. and the lower one
three feet larger The mercury will
run into the upper bowl from height,
and thence by little channels around
the edge into the lower basin.
The supply will be so arranged that
there Is an almost continual now--at
least. that is what we hope to obtain.
AS IL drops into the lower bowl the
mercury Will be conducted by a glass
lined iron pipe to a reservoir tank. and
thence lifted by motor so that II may
return by the delivery pipe to the up
per bowl again. The weight of the mer-
curry used will be about two tons and
the piping for the delivery will be LOG
feet long. and that for the return To
rhe tank so feet. Each tank will hold
two cubic feet Of quicksilver. and the
elevator apparatus will be required TO
raise about one ton an hour.
Probably the thing that will attract
most attention Will be n few ordinary
household fiat irons. which are to be
foated in the bottom basin, for the
density OF the mercury supports iron
as water does wood. I sec II has been |
stated that our fountain would throw |
a jet seven feet high. That is ridiculous |
II not impossible, for the cost of ma |
to do such thing would be |
tremendous-that is. allowing that IL |
could be done. which I doubt.
In addition to THIS quicksilver. |
Queensland is also showing some gold |
nuggets. for the glass cases containing !
which I have arranged an electric |
alarm which will give immediate warn
ing II any attempt is made to steal
them"

The triumvirate OF free trade just
now appears to be composed OF Billy
Bryan. Andrew Carnegie and sugar
trust Havemeyer. II is Va singular COL
lection. but not inexplieable. Mr.. Bryan
Is an anti-protectionist i'm principle. or
rather on theory. Mr.. Carnegie. having
built up tremendous industry under
protection has sold it out at the top OF
the market and its future does not con-
cern him except perhaps that he might
not object TO see its value go down so
rhat he could buy il in again at low
figure after the familiar speculative
fashion. Mr.. Havemeyer runs a trust
which the Republican tariff makers re-
fused to further recognize as an ''infant
industry" and instead turned their at
tention to the development OF the beet
sugar industry. But IL is toe late to
talk much free trade in elis country. AS
an issue there are few signs shat it win
be revived. The Republican policy OF
protection has become almost as com
pletely a national policy as the Decla-
ration of independence itself.

The Cigar Bean.

A very curious fruit has been dis
covered growing wild in Batavia, and a
sample has ben sent to a French pro-
fessor Of botany at Paris. 1t appears
To be species OF bean resembling a
cigar both i'm form and color, though
only about an inch i'm length. But it
has a peculiar characteristic which rem
ders 1t a unique and interesting object,
and this is the exceedingly energetic
manner in which IL scatters it's seeds.
If one of these little fruits be thrown
into a basin Of water, says Public Opln-
ion, ii will rest quietly on the surface
for from two to five minutes; then IL
will explode with violence. hurting
most of it's contents into the air with q
noise and splash for all the world like
a small torpedo. Ii Is hardly neces-
sary to say that this phenomenon Is
caused by the pressure OF the elastic
substance of its interior overcoming the
resistance of it's hard outer shell.
The fruit usually splits open length
wise. II plucked before maturity and
allowed To ripen in a warm spot it
opens gradually from apex to base,
making, as IL were. pair OF diverging
horns starting from the same point. II
left to ripen on the plant-since the
process is quicker and the internal
moisture greater-the opening is sud-
den and accompanied with a slight
noise though this is much less than
that which takes place when IL has
been placed in water. In this case the
dry but porous tissue or the surface of
the fruit quickly absorbs the liquid, es-
pecally at the grooves caused by the
junction of the two valves or outer
shells of the fruit. The internal tissue.
being very elastic. exerts upon the lat
ter n tension which soon results in the
violent bursting already described.

The Amerfcan delegates apparently
stand alone in the project advanced be-
fore the congress at The Hague TO ex-
empt private property from seizure ON
the sea in time of war. Even the Brit
Ssh delegates who have been found with
our own on about every other important
proposition are against us in this.
While sentimentalists may rave at the
opposition there must plainly be two
good sides TO the question to have de-
veloped such strength against the AM
erican position. In the Spanish war our
navy seized considerable private prop-
erty as privileged TO do by the laws of
war, but most of our people felt rather
ashamed of the business and in the
early days OF hostilities took good
many filings at our navy for it's activity

chantmen. The country needed neither
the captured ships nor their cargoes.
and except for an occasional box of
arms or ammunition would have made
no serious o ction TO the cargoes be-

perhaps this feeling that playing the
part OF highwaymen in time OF war was
small business that moved our people

property from molestation, especially
when II was not consigned 70 an enc

Perhaps Columbia is saving her good
luck for the event of meeting the sham
rock. None OF it Is being wasted these
days, at any rate. The tragedy asso-
ciated with her launching was followed
by the incident OF sticking in the mud
on her first attempt to reach deep wa
ter and the only storm for month
marked her first trial spin. However.
when Columbia got away yesterday she
gave demonstration OF sailing quality
that was certainly reassuring. With
canvas hardly ntted and rigging new
and stiff she went through the water as
though she was born to IL. as, of course,
she WAS. There isn't much question
that though Defender will prove valu-

lerging yacht will have to show big
wings to get that cup back.
