THE INTELLIGENCER
WHEELING. DECEMBER $. 1900
whittier Are We Drifting ?

It appears from a special dispatch
from Washington to the Intelligencer
this morning that the powers who are
distributing the federal patronage for.
this state, and who propose to dictate
places under the incoming aaministra-
ton Of Governor-elect White, have
been somewhat forgetful Of those whose
loyalty to party interests at personal
sacrifices have made it possible for
them to assume the power they SO reck-
lessly exercise.
II the representations from Wash
Ington are true. there is little encour-
agement left for the young men Of the
party to bear the brunt of the battle
and be treated with such small consid-
Grafton as they have been in the max
ing up OF the present slate as outlined
in our columns this morning. The men
spoken OF for the prominent Offices,
while able and competent have, at the
same time. been in office for years past,
yet many others just as deserving and
competent have been on the waiting
list. II these dictatIons noted above
prevail the Republican party in West
Virginia will have tough shedding in
the future.
OF all the districts in the state. the
First, which drove the wedge opening
the state to Republican ascendency, it
has the most to complain OF. being vir-
tually ignored in the distribution OF
offices as given out by our Washington
correspondent. That this district will
vigorously resent the affront Is evident
from the temper Of the many friends OF
the candidates who aspired to prefer
mene at the hands OF the party they
labored SO faithfully TO put In power.

The places now occupied by Mr.. Zwicker

he was chosen by council to I'LL a va

in pictures taken by moving cameras
may have three conceivable explana-
lions. The Image may be spread out
BY the camera's motion, the fash being
not instantaneous: many successive
discharges, along the same path may
have the effect OF lengthening the time
Of the discharges. or the conducting
path may be distorted by the wind. C.
Torch has been testing these theories.
One photograph showed both the
broadened lightning and buildings
broadened to the same degree-thus
testifying to the permanence OF the
path as we'll as the limited duration Of
the flash. While other photographs
were less conclusive. 1t seemed certain
that broadening by wind was absent.

The air at the earths surface is

supplied by Fautler Dalton, the pro-
portions of these gases in the air at In
creasing heights and finds that we
must distinguish five strata or sepa-
rate atmosphercs. The lowest atmos-
phere, containing the aqueous vapor,
clouds and carbonic acid. reaches n
height Of twelve miles. The oxygen
atmosphere extends beyond this 10
thirty miles. when the proportion Of
oxygen falls to less than 10 per cen:.
The nitrogen at this point rises to SC
per cent, gradually diminishing to 4
per cent ut sixty miles. Then follows
the pelum atmosphere, where helium
reaches Its maximum of 16 per cent.
This gradually gives way to hydrogen,
which at one hundred miles forms 30
per cent of the air, and in the upper
layers of the atmosphere Is the only
gas present.

A curious similarity between the IT
tie understood action or fermcnts and
the contact action Of metals has been
brought to notice by two German
chemists. The. ferrnents are Of two
classes-the organized. such as the
yeast fungus, that changes sugar to
alcohol, and the acetic ferment. that
oxidizes alcohol into acetic acid, and
the unorganized, such as disastase,
which converts 81 starch into sugar.
Without entering themselves into the
reaction, these. ferments cause change
in indefinitely large quantities Of ma
terial, their action being stopped by
heat and certain poisons. Platinum TX
q finely divided state oxidlzes alcohol
to acetic acid and inverts cane sugar.
and In colloidal form dissolved in wa
ter, as produced by q strong electric
current passed between platinum poles
under water. its, action is even more
ferment-like. One part In about $780,
100000 causes appreclable decomposi-
tlon Of hydrogen peroxide solution. The
platinum plays no chemical part in the
reactions, and Its action is arrested by
powerful polsons. and-as with fer
ments-may be- afterward partially re-
covered.
