Mr. cAl4ou~,s RESOLUTION.

New York Tribune: Senator Cal
houn OF south Carolina, has had
long sleep. Now, like Rip Van
winkle, he has opened his eyes on
new and strange scene. and walks
before a generation that knows him not
and calls him by an unfamiliar name.
Yesterday the senator from South Car
olina stretched himself and arose IN
the Senate chamber to offer q resoin-
ton. II declared that under the consu-
tuition the federal government had no
power to rule over colonial dependen-
cIes, but was restricted In its operation
to states as integral parts Of the Union
and TO territories intended for future
states.
II is long years since Mr.. Calhoun
has taken part in the Senate,gwhere ne
was once so active. Indeed, he Is so
much an unfamiliar figure that people
mistake his identity and sometimes call
him THlman, as did the reporters yes
teriay who chronicied his resolution

John C. Calhoun in his younger days
would have no difficulty in recognising
the author Of that resolution despite all

and which Is evidently the composition
Of Charles A. Towne. Is both melan-
choly and amusing. II Is melancholy
because il reads Ike the wan OF los;

between the lines one cannot help see

association from the grand old Repub-
nean party Is acute. He is IntelI gent
enough to know that Il was the mistake
OF his life and that il has doomed him
to walk In outer political darkness The
manifesto is amusing because OF the
Juvenile blur which Il puts up TO ex-

enough to acknowledge THAI he was

The biograph is doing good service
TO science. a hospital in New York
is adapting a machine to record mi
nutely the actions OF persons in cpl
leptic fits and similar affections. Nov
ing pictures have been taken showing
the walking movements in persons al
ficted with locomotor ataxia. When
these films are reproduced on the
screen doctors can study the symp-
toms carefully in the laboratory. The
movements of all kinds of microbes
are also being photographed, as well
as the action Of healthy and diseased
corpuscles- When these pictures are
magnifed and thrown on the screen
the improvement or decline III the
condition OF the patient can be told.
One of the most interesting uses OF
the biograph is to photograph and
show minutely the growth and flower
ing of plants from the time of plant
ing until in fun bloom. A picture is
taken every half-hour continually for
about thirty days and nights. In or
der to secure uniform light for every
view a powerful electric light is en-
ployed. Sometimes 1000 pictures Will
be made OF one subject, Should the
subject be a lily the pictures at one
stage Will show the opening of the
lily, while at another stage its fading
away is seen. By quickening the time
Of the pictures on the screen the plant
Is actually seen to be growing.

FUTURE OF THE PICNIC.
Supt. Buchanan Says It Is Sure to
Be Another South Swansea.

The future OF the Picnic is assured.
Such was the belief expressed by Su-
perintendent L. H. Buchanan yesterday
afternoon when he exhibited a few sam
pies of ore taken from the new strike
on the 600 level in that mine. The dis
closures were made on what is known
as the Silver Park ledge. about SEQ feet
south of the shaft. The vein has been
opened up TO a width of fourteen feet
between walls. but Mr.. Buchanan says
the mineral bearing rock covers only
about six feet, but that much of the
vein is all fine milling ore, which lies
between d casing of tale fourteen inches
wide on the hanging and twelve inches
on the foot wall The formations en-
countered are Identical with those
found in the South Swansea before the
rich ore chutes were broken into, from
which that mine has been enabled to
pay its past dividends. Mr.. Buchanan
was informed by South Swansea Off
cial that the showing is really better in
the Picnic at its present stage OF de-
velopment than the South Swansea had
during the same period. Mr.. Buchanan
is pushing the drift along rapidly, and
is looking for the appearance of lar
ger body of high-gTade ore with any
shot.

in addition to these properties Mr..
Weimer has secured the Jessie Weimer
group of eleven claims, which cover
the territory lying between the other
two groups, the distance between the
Jumbo and Queen of Sheba being about
mile and a half.
The property was first examined for
Mr. Weimer last June and in Septem-
Der his aSS3yer and metaliurgiSt went
out and spent five weeks making ax-
aminationS and conducting tests on the
ores of both Clifton and Spring Creek
districts. The season of tests and ex-
aminations has convinced Mr.. Wei1ner
that the section has a great future and
that the thirty claims now under his
control are worth pushing to the front.
The entire area is covered with a
forest of large timber and water in
abundance is there. Whistles and
water rights are included in his bonds.

-braced in Mr.. Weimer's holdings is a

came superintendent OF some of the
