Electric Waves.

A striking possible application of
electric waves is pointed out by Pro-
lessor Lodge, who has noticed that
these waves cause drops of mercury
and oil to unite. thus overcoming a
difficulty OF certain metallurgical
operations. He thinks that Scotch

electric rays, which would precipitate

THE ARCHBISHOP IN FRANCE

The honors bestowed on our distin-
guished fellow citizen, Archbishop Ire
land. have been source of great pleas
ure to all Americans. He has been re-
ceiyed by all classes of European society
for many years past, but particularly
during the past few years, with so many
indications Of reverence and regard as
to leave no question in the ordinary mind
that. cleric even as he is, he is regarded
abroad as representing a distinctly admir-
able type of American citizenship
The American people can afford to have
Archbishop Ireland accepted everywhere
as representative American. His career
is one which brings out as strongly as the
career of most men who have achieved

than the devotion of his church to the

even TO the ends Of the earth. and where

has evolved into a leading character in
the spiritual and moral life of the ma

The comforting of the degree of com

archbishop by the citizens of sister

does not at all affect the principle which
has been embodied in our federal consti-
tuition that no citizen of the republic may
accept titles of nobility or any other
form of honor or emolument from for
eign nations inconsistent with. his citi-
zenship. Only those who have won hon.
cradle distinction in the most exalted

A TRIUMPH IN ENGINEERING.

The completion of the Great Northern
tunnel under the Cascade mountains
marks one Of the most signal triumphs
in engineering recorded In modern times.
The mere opening of the tunnel itself was
work calling for great skill, but the fact
that opera tons commenced on either side
of the mountain with two miles Of solid
granite intervening, and We're pushed to-
ward the center, made the incest cal
culation necessary for success. A varia-
ton of a few feet would have been cost
ly, but, so far as precedents went, some
what excusabfe. But the two ends met
without the variation of an inch, an en-
gineering feat which may have been APP
preximated in the past. but certainly
never equaled.
Over the completion of this great task
congratulations are due all around, to
the engineer. Mr.. Stevens; to the Great
Northern railroad and to the public. This
tunnel means much to the transportation
business of the Northwest, both in time
and money. 1t was constructed with di-
rect reference TO the convenience of our
farmers and exporters in the growing
Oriental trade. which must soon assume
gigantic proportions, and is a response
to the demand for shipping facilities that
shall be equal to all that human ingenu-
ity can provide. The fact that our rail-
roads do not hesitate to spend millions
Of dollars in the legitimate promotion of
trade largely accounts for the greatness
of our domestic and foreign commerce.
The tunnel under the Cascades is an in
stance of this wonderful enterprise and
one Of the most notable ever recorded.

by the people among whom he received
his early education.
The address delivered some. months ago
on the occasion of the Joan of Arc cele-
bration as well as that In commemoration
of Lafayette, resulted in lifting Arch
bishop Ireland to high position in the
public thought of France. The honor
just conferred on him is the mere. present
expression of the great influence he has
left on the French oeople,.and will be ac-
eepted by the archbishop's countrymen as
in the broader sense an expression of the
mass of the French people regard the
American republic and the American
people.

TROUBLE WITH MACHINES.

NEW YORK, Sept. H.-Attorney Gen

committee One of his DEPUTIES had pre-

machines could not be used in their pres

ial election and, Mr.. Davies is wanted fer
a conference. The opinion of the attorney
general is that the ballot machines not
having the names of the electors in de-
tail, would disenfranchise any voter us
ing them. Ia other words the attorney
general contends that the ballot machines
must contain eachi electors name on each
ticket and notsmerely a single button
push for a partySs electors punched. The
decision of serious import unless the ma
chimes can be changed in time and the
purpose of the conference at which the
representatives of the ballot machines are
to be present, is to determine whether
this can be done. The mach,ns hay al
