German experiments suggest de-
fective water gauges as the cause of
many-if not most-mysteriou boiler
explosions. Using a magnetic indi-
Gator, c. Remschel obtained an alarm
of low water while the ordinary glass
gauge showed four inches above the
medium level. A defect in the tight
ness of the steam pipe leading to the
top cock was found, and when this
was remedied the water level in the
glass fell six inches.

From q recent discussion by the
British Astronomical Society it ap-
pears that the cause of much-ob-
served phenomenon is still mystery.
The new theory was offered by Mr..
Cecil j. Dolmage that the apparent
enlargement of the moon is an effect
of the sky's curvature, which is not
noticed at the zenith but apparently
increases toward the horizon. This
recalled the many other suggestions
OF recent years. A Belgian astron-
ofler has sought to prove that the
cause is physiological, and that OBJ
lects overhead always seem smaller
than those at the same distance on
level; another idea is that the cause
IS atmospheric; still another that the
illusion is mental. About the only
thing really proven is that measure.

moons disc to have the same size at

plurality, more than rcverses the result
at the last general municipal election.
Is attributed to less factional fighting
among the Republicans and the indif.
ference Of the Democrats. In Cleve.

most intense, the result is also decisive.

ties of both the Panama and Nicaragua
routes. We have spent three months
in the bush and have collected great
mass of data which we will put into
shape for our report to be handed in to
the president next December. Nothing
can be said ON the subject that would
give the public clear idea until this
data has been arranged and put into
shape"
Admiral Walker was asked whether
the commission favored q fortified
canal. He replied that he could not en-.
ter into that subject.
"Our duty will be to state the facts
and to present to congress the result Of
our survey and work. Both routes have
their advantages and these will be set
forth"
The admiral added: Everywhere
we were well received and entertained.
The sentiment Of the people is for the
