The PRESIDENT ABROAD.
The idea That Tie Cannot visit Foreign
Soil Mere Superstition.

The Idea That He Cannot visit Foreign
Soil Nero Superstition.
There is n popular superstition that
the President Of the United States is
inhibited from leaving this country
during his term Of Office, but 1t is SUI
perstition only. The article Of the
Constitution which relates to the Pres
ident contains no provision Of the sort,
and therefore the President is quite
free to do precisely as he chooses in
this matter.
The reason why no President has
ever visited foreign countries until af-
ter his retirement has probably been
due to the fact that in the early years
Of the republic, before the invention
of the telegraph and before the laying
of the Atlantic cable, and also before
the development of steamships Of
great speed, absence from the country
would have meant so protracted sew
erance Of communication between the
executive and the subordinate officers
Of the Government as to constitute
what would have been practically an
Inability to discharge the powers and
duties" Of his office. When it required
q month to make the voyage to Europe
and when letters and orders could be
transmitted only by sailing packets,
or, afterward by steamship, it would,
Of course, have been impossible for
the President to visit England with
out practically abdicating his office
and installing the Vice-President in
his place. But now, when the time re-
Quired to pass from New York to
Queenstown is but little more than
five days, and when Immediately upon
his landing he would be in telegraphic
communication every moment with
his Cabinet, there exists no satisfac-
tory reason why he should not feel
entirely free to perform a striking act
in international courtesy.
1t is not, indeed, true, that no Presi-
dent has ever gone beyond the bOun-
diaries of his country. President Ar
thur, during his term of office, went to
| Florida by sea, and although he dld so
on a vessel of the navy, and was there
fore technically still upon American
soil he was, as a matter Of fact, shut
off from communication with the adj
ministrative departments for several
days; and President Cleveland also on
one occasion, while shooting in the
Adirondacks, crossed the Canadian
border, and for several hours was,
without knowing it, actually upon
British territory.
IT, indeed, the President of the Uni
ted States were now to visit Egypt he
need never be so remote from Wash
ington in point of facility of commu-
nication as was President Monroe

he left the seat of Government and

A process has just been patented for
making artificial woods out of pulp so
as 10 initiate such costly kinds as ma
hogany and rosewood. Indeed, the in
yentor claims to be able, by the help
Of his machine, 10 reproduce the appear
anee Of quartered oak, curly maple,
birdseye maple, or practically anything
else that grows in the forest, so perfectly
as to deceive the trained eyes. Obvious
ly such an achievement should be of
high commercial value, inasmueh as the
more expensive woods are luxuries
within reach only of people of means,
the rarest of them coming from distant
tropical countries.
The process does not reproduce the
texture of woods, but merely their ap-
pearance. The pulp is thrown upon
cylinder by an air blast projected
through a number of pipes, and an ir-
regular distribution Of the particles is
obtained by various devices, such as
varying the intensity Of the blast and
causing the pipes to vibrate In this
way the knots and grain of the natural
woods are said to be counterfeited with
surprising success.
Artificial woods Of this kind are avail
able for use as veneers, the employment
of which is so extensive at the present
time. Nearly all of the imported natur.
al woods are sold as veneers. They are
cut in extremely thin slices, because
they are too costly to be used solidly.
Mahogany, rosewood, curly ash, figured
birch, satinwood and Circassian walnut
are most in demand, and veneers made
from them bring from three cents to
ten cents a foot Some veneers are
worth twenty cents foot, though mere
shavings, and a single log of rare
wood is sometimes valued at as much
as $4,000.
Doubtless a principal use is expected
to be found for the counterfeit mahog-
any and other woods IN the making Of
furniture.-Philddelbhia Post

a burning Question at Bryn Mawr.

"Of course, some of our problems in
mathematics are very puzzling," said
the Bryn Mawr sophomore, "but there
is a far harder question which is in no
way connected with our studies. There
is an unwritten law in Bryn Mawr
that a girl must not walk alone with
a professor, and we are all very care
full about observing it. There is an
other rule, also unwritten, that a stu
dent must not walk about alone after
dark. Now, If a girl is detained un-
avoidably in the evening, and while
walking home meets a professor going
her way, which rule is she to break?
There have been a great many bitter
discussions about that point, and no
body has ever reached a decision"

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY

On Market street Last Evening
Fred Freise Thrown Out and One
Arm was Fractured.
There was a very exciting runaway
on Market street at six O'Clock last even
ing. The rig which figured in the affair
was a. horse and blackboard owned by
Councilman James Marshall. Marshall
had, in the blackboard with him Fred
Freise and Henry pittman.
The horse probably became frightened
through the ENHANCEMENT of some por-
ton of the harness. It was below Six
teenth street when it suddenly started,
and Mr.. Marshall could not control the
animal. In making short turn to the
Market street bridge over the creek,
Freise was thrown out. and fell heavily
on his side. The animal continued down
Market street, and turned into Twenty
first, just missing the curb, and al
most overturning the blackboard. The
fremen at the Hook and Ladder House
were sitting in front of the building,
