MACHINE REGISTERED VOTES
Some Ingenious Inventions to Help
 English Electors

From the London Chronicle.
 The imminence of a general election in variably brings Into prominence the ques- ton of aimplying the present method of voting by ballot. The most recent inven- ton for recording votes by machinery was noticed recently In these columns. !: a. the last of a fairly long list which has oc- cupied the attention of mechanics ever since secret voting was introduced. Gen. erdlly it may be said that these mechanical contrivances have been attempts to secure the entire secrecy of the ballot, to prevent fraud, to enable even the least intelligent to record his vote with accuracy, and to in- sure the smallest possible delay in arriving at the result of an election.
 The method employed has, broadly speak ing, either been the placing of a ball in some receptacle, or the pulling of lever, or both. In the invention of Vassie there was an arrangement of continent tunnels by which the voter was prevented from dropping more than one ball into .!..1 box; in that of Chamberlain the number of votes given was indicated by the ringing of a bell while in Sydherff's machine the ball was placed by the sheriff in a common duet, and the voter by moving lever guided 1t into channel leading to the box represent ing the candidate voted for. In there there ing the candidate voted for. In these there was no provision for cumulative voting in fact, they could only Joe used in a single member constituency, and no permanent record of the poll beyond a collocation of the balls was possible.
 "A considerable advance was made In the invention of Mir James Davje of Edn- burgh, which in 1870 received prize from the Royal Scottish Society of Arts. This apparently could be adapted to cumulative voting, for it might be worked with any number of candidates The essential part of the arrangement was a wooden chamber, which the voter having received a metal ball from the Sheriff. entered by a spring. hinged door. to which lever waS attached recording the entrance. On one slds of the chamber was a box, on the head of which stood different coiored cups. each marked with the name and number of the candi- date. The voter, having placed the bah in one of the cups. left the chamber by an- other spring-hinged door, which on opening caused the ball to dron- It fell on some type inside the box, pressing 1t against . recording sheet in a cylinder.

Why Connecticut's capital should have made such remarkable progress Is not ap- parent. A good, healthy growth might have been anticipated from the general tenor pr the eastern returns, but that is all. Boston made 25.W per cent; Providence, an tmpor- tant manufacturing place 32S8 per cent; Jersey City, 26.60 per cent. Albany shows.a slight falling off.
 Tn the middle west Fort Wayne has fairly satisfactory record If Indianapolis, Akron and the lake cities be eliminated from the comparison. An increase of H.47 per cent certainly indicates that there Is no cause for Encouragement among the busi- ness men and investors of the town.
 But the figures of the South are more significant. Birmingham, Ala, comes for ward with a larger increase than the splen- did one of Cleveland. Taking it's returns with those of other Southern cities, we find they grade down as follows Birming- ham 46.75, Louisville 27.O6, New Orleans 1862, Baltimore 17.15, Richmond AS. Charleston, s. C., 1.55. Birmingham is es- sentially manufacturing town-all iron, so to speak. Louisville is vigorous and thriving because it has large manufactur- ing interests and is a great central tobacco market New Orleans and Baltimore are seaports so situated that they confidently hope to win away some of the traffic that goes by the North. Richmond, like Louis- vile, is Q tobacco center but lacks the en- ergy necessary for the development of di- versifed industries, and Charleston is the same old Charleston-it develops nothing.
 What is needed to brea the the breath of life into most Southern cities is mandfestly the promotion of manufacturing enter prises, and it would seem that there should bo an exceptionally iattering outlook for the production of cotton goods in particu- lar. The raw material Is close at hand and Southern ports could attend to the exporting. Such obvious natural advant- ages would be utilized in the North to build up more than one active. progressive city like Birmingham, for man does not live by iron alone.

The liability to disease is greatly iessened when the blood is in good con- dition, and the circulation healthy and vigorous. For then all refuse matter Is promptly carried out of the system; otherwise it would rapidly accumulate - fermentation would take place, the blood become polluted and the consti- tuition so weakened that simple malady might result seriously.
