Sorting steel Balls by Machine.

O. rom the scientific Amerlcan.)
An inventor Of Schwe lurt Bavaria has in.
vented new machine for the sorting Of steel balls
according TO quality. and it prevents the cracked
balls being passed perfect Formerly IL was
tried to sort ont the cracked balls (Which cannon
be avoided even by using the best quality Of
steeD by skillful workmen examining each ban
by the lid OF magniiling glass. This entails
a great deal Of work and time and h aftar mi
not reliable. as many OF the defects cannot he
detected by a maguiyIng glass The machine
consists Of a cylinder provided with A piston
which moves mp and down upon a fixed axle The
balls are placed on the top Of this uistor ana
they are raised by mechanical means and are
allowed to drop over the edge OF the cvIipder
down an inclined nauge. The balls all describe
a parabOlic trajectory, which is practic,Ilv
independent Of the condition q the balls The
balls then rebound upon impact surface and
those having the desired degree Of elasticity will

balls which, owing to defect in hardness or
have inferior degree of
Elasticity will strike the barrier and fail hack
into the central space. This is a very ingeniou,
and clever invention.

A copy Of the "Maysvillc Eagle" dated Marrh

real curlositics. 1t was given out as a wonderful
piece Of news that passenger train was run
every day between indianapolis and TerTe Haute

not get seats, and predicted that some day the

A special cable despatch to the New
York World" published in that journal
yesterday, gives a new and alarming rea-
son for Secretary's Roots New York dinner
defiance to creation. It claims that pend
ing negotiations between Denmark and the
United States for the sale OF the Danish
West Indian Islands. Germany notified
King Christian that any such cession would
have to be subject to the German right to
a coaling station This beats the Standard
oil story Of the New York Times" but is
hardly as credible. In any case. we are
unable to see why, even if true. it should
produce cerebral excitement in Mr.. Root
or starch the vertebrae Of the AdmInistra-
ton. The Monroe Doctrine is perhaps a
sacred Institution; but il is certain that
the executive combination to which the
War Minister belongs is working with the
energy OF desperation 20 destroy it. If
the Hay Pauncefote Treaty should be rati-
fed there would be no Monroe Doctrine

over! Then neither Mr. Mckinley nor Mr.
Root could consistently offer the slightest
objection if the Kaiser bought Denmark.
England, and France, all three. out Of the

Waiting for ROoseyeIt. - Governor
Roosevelt probably will arrive in Washing
ton tomorrow evening. He will be met at
the station By his brother-in- law and sister
Commander and Mrs. Cowles, and will be
their guest while in the city. It Is said TO
be his desire not to be harassed By the
politicians while he is at the residence of
Commander COwles. He will circulate
freely about town, and all who wish to
see him can easily catch him on the wing
1t Is stated that an interview with Presi-
dent Mckinley has been arranged for him
on Wednesday, and that at this Interview
will be definitely determined the Rough RI

1t seems that Mckinley has at last taken
umbrage at Governor RoOseyelt's frequent

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

This week the Pops.-The Populists
will hold two national conventions this
week. Both will assemble on Wednesday
one at Cincinnati and the other at Sioux
Falls, 5. D. Nearly all OF the Populist
members of Congress. including Senators
Butler, Allen, Pettigrew, and Harris and
Representatives Bell and Shafroth of Colo
rado, will attend the Sioux Falls conven-
ton. It is a foregone conclusion that this
assembage will nominate Bryan and leave
the second place on the ticket vacant. to
be filled by the National Committee after
the Kansas City convention has named a
running mate for Bryan. 1t is considered
probable that an effort Of some strength
will be made to complete the ticket at
Sioux Falls, but it is generally believed
that this will have for its serious purpose
only the interest Of some candidate for the
regular Democratic Vice Presidential nomi-
nation. As the name of the Hon. Charles A
TOwne. OF Duluth is most frequently men
toned as the one that is likely to find
great favor among the Populists and free
silver Republicans as we'll. it is regarded
as not unlikely that his admirers at Sioux
Falls will take such action concerning
him as will call attention to him at Kan
sas City in the most favorable way pos
sible 1t is not believed a platform any
more radical than that of 1896 will be
adopted. and aside from declarations on the
new Issues Of trusts and Imperialism it Is
thought the principles enunciated viii be
virtually the same as those for which the
Popuiists fought four years ago. 1t is con-
tidtnt,y expected in all quarters that in
,lnr ,frtrT
sequences the Cincinnati convention will be
much more interesting than its rival at
Sioux Falls. II reports are true it is evil
dent that a great deal of money has been
spent In drumming up an attendance at
Cincinnati. Senators Butler, Pettigrew,
and Allen openly charge that this money
was provided by Mark Hanna and other
managers of the Republican machine for
the purpose of creating all Of the trouble
possible in the POpulist ranks in the close
States Of the West. Who will be nomi-
mated at Cincinnati nobody pretends to
know. 1t Is not believed TO be possible
for this crowd to offer the nomination to
Bryan for Barker. Donnelly, and others
of their leaders have been denouncing the
Nebraskan many weeks as the foe OF
Populism, and the disguised agent OF plu-
tocracy year or more ago Barker and
Donnelly were nominated for President and
Vice President at Cincinnati by a con-
veuton of the same elements that will as
semble there Wednesday. 1t is thought
that among the first acts OF the conven-
ton Will be the formal acceptance Of the
declination of these two eminent statesmen !
Of the honors Of leadership conferred upon
them so far in advance Of the opening Of /
the 1900 campaign But that Dounelly and /
Barker will control the convention is /
practically assured.

The evidence on which the State court
at Frankfort has decided to hold Culton,
one OF the Goebel murder suspects, with
out bail would be simply startling II it
had not been foreshadowed for some time
The State apparently has made out a
strong case Of conspiracy TO assassinate the
late Governor Of Kentucky, in pursuance Of
which the crime was committed. When the
friends OF W. 5. Taylor read the proceed
ings in the examination, and particularly
the testimony Of the repentaut conspirator.
Golden, they will be apt to think that the
Bluegrass Republican leader was injudi-
cious in not accepting the protection OF
Governor Roosevelt when he had the
chance. Perhaps even now he might find
it good for his health to take a little run
over to Indianapolis for visit to his
friends, Mount and Finley.
