The vote of three leading candidates
before any changes were made were
as follows: Stevenson 55s15, Hill 200
Towne 1121x.
While the changes of the various
States were being made pandemonium
reigned in the hall. Delegates and al
ternates stood on their chairs and
throughout all of the galleries people
were standing and cheering. When
order had been partially restored the
floor section of the hall bore more the

CHANGED TO STEVENSON.

tennessee was up soon as the vote
from Hawaii had been announced. and
declared that, it changed its vote to
stevenson The convention recognized
the significance OF the action and cheer
after cheer went up. Stevenson was
nominated now without question and
all over the hall ohairmen of delega-
lions were on their feet shouting and
waving their arms in the effort to Sc
cure recognition from the chair in Or
teeg to- change their votes.
Washington was first to secure the
privilege and the teller's cry Wash
lngton changes its entire vote to Stew
eson, provoked wild enthusiasm. The
cheering became so loud that it was
almost impossible to catch the changes
as the teller called them out.
After Washington came North Car
DINA and then John L. Shea, of New
York, managed to make his voice
heard, as he called out New York

This simply pulled out the plug

at one time and roar that went IN
was deafening. Then in rapid success
sion the following States changed
their votes to Stevenson in the order
given: California, North Dakota. Ne

BECOMING IMPATIENT.

The convention was becoming very
impatient over the long list OF second
ing speeches and there were frequent
calls OF time" before he concluded.
Senator White, of California, spoke
energetically from the platform, de-
claring that those who did not desire
to hear the nominating speeches could
go out. If they did not care to go out
they should keep quiet.
North Dakota from the floor sec
onded the nomination of Hill.
S. NJ. Gates, of North Carolina, pre-
sented the name of Col. Julian Carr
from his State.
Ohio put in nomination the name of
A. w. Patrick, of the Buckeye State
His name was presented by M. A.
Daugherty, who was one of the few
speakers whose seconding speech could
be heard at any distance from the
platform.
Washington, when called, yielded
back to Idaho, the time it had received
from it, and Chairman Read, of the
Idaho delegates, seconded the nomin-
alton of Lewis.

There are gentlemen here whose

There is no difficulty at all in max

A WONDERFUL TOP.
II Is Capable Of Spinning More Than
Forty-three Minutes.

A marvellous top, capable of spinning
forty-three and one-half minutes and
then remaining erect and still, has been
constructed by Prof. Charles Jacobus,
for many years superintendent of the
New Brunswick, N. j.. public schools.
but now of Springfield, Mass. The in.
yentor of this top guards II carefully
and never allows it to pass out of his
hands. He has spun it scores Of times
before scientists in New York Phila-
delphia and many other cities. He
spun 1t short time ago before the
Boston Society of Civil Engineers, who
devoted one hour to watching It. The
inventor calls 1t a scientific top, and
when 1t Is not in use he locks 1t up In q
case and carries the key with him.
The wonderful top is made of bronze
and looks like the small sized humminR
top the boys buy In the stores for Ave
cents. 1t was constructed under the
direction of Prof. Jacobus, who had
the pieces made by several different
mechanics. The top is spun by a
string, and the inventor always spins
1t on plate. He has a small piece of
bronze. which he places over the upper
end of the rod while he winds the cord
around the same, as Is done in a hum
ming top; then he places II on the
plate. holds it firmly by the little
bronze attachment at the head and
pulls the string. AS the string leaves
the, top he removes the attachment
suddenly and the top spins on.
The point of the top, upon which II
spins, is about as large as the head of
small needle. and 1t is SO true and
delicate that the resistance is kept at a
minimum. The inside of the top is SO
balanced that when the top ceases TO
revolve 1t will remain erect, unless Il
Is Jared. The rod that runs through
the centre is about an eighth OF an
inch in diameter and five inches from
the sharp point on the bottom to the
small cap on the head. The top body
Is three inches in diameter.
The whole secret OF the top IN be-
lieved to be In the perfect balance and
the weights inside of the bronze body.
The entire top weighs about four
ounces, and is wound with about ten
inches OF string.
When Prof. Jacobus lectures before
schools on educational institutions he
has a habit OF spinning the top and
using 1t to illustrate the beauty OF q
symmetrieally developed life.
