HOW TT IS DONE.

Some interesting observations on the mantles of the Welsbach gas lights are made in a recent bulletin of the Paris Physical Society The mantles are com posed of oxide of thorium and oxide of cerium, and the lighting power is said to be due not to any special emissive power of the materials, but to the high temperature to which the mantle is raised and which is due to the catalytic properties of oxide of cerium and it's fine division. That it does not depend on the emissivity is proven by noting the emissivity of the various oxides and carbon after they have been heated in an electric furnace to a temperature of 2,000 degrees. The presence of oxide of cerium lowers the temperature of com bustion of oxygen and hydrogen from $50 degrees to $50 degrees, and a large quantity of heat is disengaged in the vi- cinity of the mantle. The oxide of thorium forms a porous mass consisting of a number of fine filaments which are coated with oxide of cerium. The fila ments are poor conductors of heat, which becomes concentrated upon them, and the mantle is raised to high tenn perature. It has been shown that two oxides are necessary, as when pure oxide of thorum or cerium has been employed ten to twenty times less light has been obtained

It is announced that parliamentary powers granting permission to utilize the water of Loch Ericht in Perthshire and convey it to Loch Leven in Argyll shire are to be asked in the coming ses- sion. The abundance of water power in America and Germany for generating electricity at cheap rate has, it ap- pears. adversely affected British chemi- cal manufacturers, and the proposed scheme by which fall of HOO feet at the head of Loch Leven will be obtain ed, will, it is expected, supply power capable of generating over 37000 horse mower. The scheme has, moreover, oc- casioned, it is asserted, postponement of the project some large chemical man. ufacturers had contemplated of trans ferring their works from this country to the United States. Loch Ericht covers nearly eight square miles of area. and contains a very large volume of water. The diversion is to be affected by means of tunnels and open aqeducts, and the lower houses will be situated near the head of the Loch Leven, which is navi- gable at high tide by vessels drawing fourteen feet. When completed, a new era may dawn for district at present sparsely inhabited, as it is proposed to establish a number of factories on the shores of Loch Leven.

Experiments with tuberculous cows, similar to those made at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, have been conducted at the Ohio Experiment Station, and the results, as in New Jer- sey. throw grave doubts on the correct ness of the theory that tuberculosis is communicated by the use of the milk of consumptive COWS. Eleven cows in the Ohio herd were condemned two years ago by the tuberculin test. They were segregated, but in no other respect was any change made in their care. The test as to danger in the use of their milk was the very practical one of feed- ing 1t to calves. One calf, which had been thus nourished for seven months, showed no reaction when tested with tuberculin, and no tubercles were found in a subsequent post-mortem examina- tion. Another calf which had received the same milk after it had been steril- ized was not killed, as it did not react to the test, and was thought to be all right. Recently the diseased cows were slaughtered, and the government in- spector condemned the carcasses of only two of them as being unfit for food.

Whether il is Better to Bear the Ills Of
Yellow Fever Than Those Of
Quarantine.

Prometheus, like poor Mississippi.
especially that portion OF the State
known as the gulf coast, has been
bound on her back with chains, whilst
vultures and birds of prey tyclept the
| State board Of health have been fat
tening and gnawing aud tearing and
feeding upon her vitals. And unless
some Hercules OF good fortunes soon
arises to kill off these birds Of prey,
God only knows where and what will
be the end. The putting on Of quar-
antine every year because OF a sus-
picious or sporadic case Of yellow few
err has become Il greater source Of fear
than the real existence Of the yellow
scourge. The stoppage Of commerce
and business in all lines has caused
the people along this coast to become
lOw.spirited and more inclined to give
up.
"Hope deferred maketh the heart
sick" and 'by sorrow OF the heart the
spirit is broken" and they have bat
tied and toiled and labored against
adverse fate, with no sign OF relief,
but with matters growing worse and
worse, until heart sick and dispirited
they are almost ready to abandon the
struggle and to yield to black, gloomy
despair. Fettered and chained, pow

those who alone are waxing fat and

fortune. With an Unsuitable nav, il
is these birds OF prey, who with beaks
and talons all bcsmeared with the
gore OF the ''spolls of office, from tug

opinion Is that they are on "the

NOTE THIS WELL.

Mr.. Edgar S. Wilson Of the Plea
yune's Mississippi bureau brings TO
the attention Of the voters OF the
State the fact that each holder OF the
ballot must famIliarize himself with
the personnel Of the ticket. Mr..
! Wilson says:
Under the Constitution and laws
there will be nothing to designate the
Democratic nominees from the Popu-
list nominees. The Democratic elec-
tor and the POpulist must, therefore,
when lie enters the voting booth, be
able to tell who his nominee is, IL he
expects tn put the little ink X Opp0-
site the man for whom he desires to
vote. All the nominees for all the Of
fees from governor down to beat
constable, will be on the same ticket,
and the elector must be able to read
his ballot and mark his choice when
he gets in the booth and he has only a
limited time to pick his favorites.
In order to facilitate voting, the
State ticket with the names OF the
Democratic nominees and the Popu-
list nominees is presented below. If
cut out by those unfamiliar with the
personnel OF their respective n0mi-
nees, will be of service when they
come to vote. The names OF the DEM
ocratic nominees in the following
ticket appear first in every instance,
the Populist nominees appearing last:

the object being to arrange prelimina-
