out ofathe centre OF the bulb, although
there was nothing apparently from
which nutriment could be derived.
There was neither earth nor water, but
pure air appeared to be all that was
necessary and the stem continued to
grow until it is now four feet nine
inches tall. About weok ago a lily
began to develop on the top of the stem
and last Friday the lily unfolded its
leaves and at the same time most
obnoxious odor, which seemed to grow
with the lily. This Cdor was so re

IS A PARTIAL ECLIPSE.


A recent issue of the Marine journal
contains a most complimentary article
on towing device of which 7. jackson
Shaw of this city is one of the in
yentors. 1t says, among other things
"In 1883, I. jackson Shaw Of Will
mington, Del, and j. NJ. Spiegle of
Philadelphia invented an arrangement
for towing which they patented soon
after, and built and put into immediate
operation on two different vessels--an
arrangement for equalizing the strains
on hawser in towing which has
proved to be perfectly reliable, safe and
economical under all circumstances and
under all conditions of towing. The
machines that they built at that time
have been in constant and successful
operation ever since"

corona itself. But when the advancing
edge of the moon slowly covers the
suns central disc, until at last only a
narrow sickle-shaped piece Is left, the
waiting astronomers have few
moments CT intense expectation. The
sickle nsrrows gradually; but a mere
thread is left; vet even that is quite
sufficient to mask the corona. Then,
suddenly, all is covered. On tho in
slant, as though at the touch of q
magician's wand, out bursts the
splendid corona into view. It's sight
of beauty indescri6able, impressive be.
yond comparison. Men that have been
privileged to see it, ever after tell of
its having given one OF life's most ex-
citing moments, never to BIO forgotten.
But the quiet scientific investigator
tries to make use of these rare oppor-
tunities to obtain some knowledge of
the true constitution of our sun. Be.
fore the corona's appearance, Just as
the brilliant central disc is being
totally obscured, there are very few
brief important seconds whom We re-
ceivs light direct from the outer layers
of the solar globe, and these moments
offer the only chance to examine d.
rectly ths glowing gases that make up
the suns outside envelope. Much of
our solar knowledge has been thus
gathered painfully in the few Heeting
minutes of observation made possible
by successful total eclipses. Then 1t is
that We see great red flames flashing
hundreds of thousands of miles out
into space. Curling, intelarcing, ever
changing, Variable cloudbursts of liv-
ing fire, these are proofs of the power
and violence of natures hidden forces.

spiouous object, is south -southeast, up
one third of the distance to the zenith.

rise in the east Just before the sun.
The moon will pass near TO Venus on

Fall River, Mass, Sept. 5. - The
Cotton Mills officials were startled this
morning at the news that M.
G. D. Borden owner Of the
Fall River Iron Works and American
Print Cloth Co., had bought half a
million pounds of cotton goods yester-
day at q cents per yard. 1t is i'm
possible to tell yet the effect the max
ing of such vast quantity of goods
will have in the situation here but
probably the contemplated reduction
of wages will be deferred until fall
when it may be unnecessary 1t will
also have bearing of the future cur
tailment policy. Borden last year
compelled the manufacturers to raise
the wages 10 per cent when they only
intended to raise 5 per cent.

COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR TELEGRAM:
Dear Sir:-With your kind permis-
sion / would like to state, in answer
to the utter Ease statements made
in the columns Of your daily yesterday
with reference to the game OF ball
played between the BaraCaS and the
Methodist teams Labor Day, that the
arrangements for the game were
made several days before the said
date. and the time set for the game
was two o'clock.
These were the arrangements made
by our manager and nothing was
said to him by any member of the
Baracas' team about changing the
time Of commencement.
f. 1t is true that without consulting
our manager at all l was notified Sun
day that the game was to he played
at l o'clock sharp and the Baptist
team went ahead and put out notices
to that effect. Now business is bust
ness.
But taking for granted that the
arrangements were made to begin the
game at l o'clock, which was not so
then the statement that we delayed
the game an hour is an utter mistake
for the game began at or about lao.
Now in the second place it was no
fault of the Methodist team if two 50
called players of the Baracas team
had to leave the game before it was
finished 10 order to play at the Labor
Day picnic for as l have stated before
all arrangements for the game had
been made and it was not our husi-
ness to look up players for The Bap-
tiSt team.
Now the two players wEo had to
leave before the game was finished
are not members of the Baptist
church, but are going there once IN
four weeks in order to and for no 9TH
-er purpose thar to play hl5.
The Methodist team with but one
exception has been composed entirely
of members of either church or Sum
day school and not of two or more
players who have been smuggled into
the team from entirely without the
circle OF the church.
Now Mr.. Editor, thanking you for
your kindness in allowing me this
space in your daily, and hoping that
the public, after having heard two
sides of the question, will draw their
own conclusions, l remain,
FRED l.. WHITE,
Capt. of Methodists.
