TO BE CONTINUED
The Duration of a Wink.

I'm the twinkling Of an eye" was
the expression used by St. Paul in re-
ferring to the final wind up of num-
dane affairs, desiring to impress upon
the minds of his hearers with greatest
force the suddenness of the trans
formation. "Quick as a wink" is a ia
miliar figure of speech used to indicate
the perfection Of promptness, but no
one has heretofore apparently had the
curiosity to inquire as to the exact
duration of a wink.
Through the aid Of modern science,
to which nothing seems impossible, the
wink has been measured. A Berlin sci
enlist has succeeded in ascertaining the
duration of "the twinkling of the eye'
by the use Of a special Photographic
apparatus and a piece of white paper
fixed on the edge of the eyelid for a
mark. He finds that a wink, from it's
inception to it's finish, occupies Just
four-tenths of a second. Some inter-
esting details of the process of a wink
he has also obtained, which are inter-
esting as showing that the measure
ment of time has been brought down to
a fine thing, and for that reason they
are worth quoting here.
The Berlin scientist found that the
lid ''descends quickly and rests a little
at the bottom movement. Then it rises
more slowly than it fell" Also, that
1.-THE mean duration of the downward
movement was from .O75 to .O91 of a
second. The time from the instant the
eye rested till it closed varied from IL
to 1t of second. In rising the lid
took IT Of second"
The optic movement here referred to-
was doubtless an Involuntary wink.
Let the professor go a step farther and
measure and define the characteristics
and significance of the "sly wink and
the twink of the other eye" He will
thus add greatly to the worlds store of
more or less useful knowledge.

nave him construe it.
The gait of Quillebert's steed was not
lowered from a run until, throbbing and
covered with foam, he was halted at
his stable. Quillebert took no chances
with the clock, but at once proceeded
to the cabin where lay the emaciated,

midnight, when he was brought by the
constable, who had caught him COM

caused the unfortunate fellow to be tied
by the wrists to a feed rack from last
night until this evening without food
or water and threatened the whip if he

promising release for confession. Leon
obstinately closed his mouth and would
not speak.
Constant went into the stable this
evening and made his final demand
for confession, but with no effect. He
then barred the negroes back and gave
him the lash until he fell forward and
hung from the rack limp and uncon-
scious. At this he became alarmed,
believing that he had killed him. and,
cutting him from the rack, dispatched

York Heard Plain Talk.

The heir to the British throne had the
wholesome experience of hearing sons
plain talk while visiting Great Britain's
colonies in various parts of the world
For instance, just before leaving Hall
fax for England he listened to a ser
mon by the Nova Scotian bishop, who
declared that the doctrine Of the divine
right of kings is dead and that he
thanks God such is the case
While the utterance may be regarded
as somewhat uncourtly, the outspokeD
bishop committed no political heresy,
as the doctrine of the divine right of
kings is not recognized by the British
constitution. It is generally considered
in good form, however, not to dwell in
the presence of royalty on the fact that
the British monarch bases his tenure
on the consent and will of the govern
ed. Nevertheless, it may be salutary in
this day Of proposed imperial fedora
ton to have so plain an intimation that
the British colonies do not even for

If the estimates Of the New England
Homestead regarding the apple crop
of the present year are correct 1T
would appear that corn and potatoes
are not the only staples Of this coun-
try which have suffered severely be-
cause of the cratic weather of the past
summer According to this paper, the
apple crop will be less than one-half
Of that in 1900, or, to be precise, only
23,OO0,O0O barrels, as against 100000
barrels last year and nearly 100000 900
barrels in 1896. The United States is
large consumer of apples, but usu-
ally raises more than are required for
home consumption. In ordinary years
we export large quantities Of the fruit.
This year, however, it seems very.
doubtful If Uncle Sam will have ap-
pies enough for his own family, to say
nothing of sending them to his neigh
bors. 1t is to be hoped that the New

Police Without Cost.

A proposition has been made to the City Council to permit increased police protec- ton to Birmingham without cost to the city government. This novel method is pro- posed by J. T. Vickery, manager of the Southern Detective Agency, 21S1a Twenty first street, this city, who has made ar engagements privately with citizens for his compensation. He requests of the City Council permission "to establish and main tain the Southern Detective Agency's Night Patrol and to clothe the employees thereof in gray uniforms with brass buttons, and a badge bearing the words, Southern De- tective Agency's Night Patrol, and to arm and equip them each with a revolver and cartridge belt a club and dark lantern or electric flashlight; that such employees of the Southern Detective Agencys Night Patrol be permitted to bear such arms while on duty during the night time, and to make arrests of all persons caught by them in the commission of crimes or any one whom they have reasonable grounds to believe guilty of the commission of crimes, and to turn such arrests over to the nearest police officer of the city"

Strong Man and Banker.

q am glad to hear of the joint good for tune of the Alabama National Bank and Banker James B. Cobbs, glad that the bank and the man are come together to work to- gether," said a substantial and observant business man.
 ''The truth is you can't say anything too good or too much for J. B. Cobbs. The enviable position he holds in this commun- ity his high standing as successful man Of business as banker, and his high char acter as an individual man, all of which the business and general public are glad to en- dorse and applaud, constitute proof of merit of the very highest measure. And the pub tains to his movements, his well-being, and there Is therefore great gladness that he has been raised to so powerful a position of trust and honor as the vice-presidenoy and general managership of such a famous and popular bank as the Alabama Nationall bank and for MT. Cobbs himself. I have personally known MT. Cobbs for many years, and I never knew more admirable man of business or one more devoted to all trusts reposed in him, more good-hearted or more manly. He is one of the strongest men of Birmingham, and fully deserves the honor in which the people hold him."
 MT. Cobbs assumed his new duties at the Alabama National Bank yesterday, and great many friends called to congratulate him.

has been felt throughout the civilized world. Her personality has commanded respect even where her judgment could not be ascertained. Her advice was long sought in European capitals, but in countries far away there was ever the deepest respect for her as woman. The history of the world may be searched in vain for a reign so power full in so many respects for unmixed good
 Only less admirable than her charac- ter was her good sense. Her insight enabled her to tide over without fric- tion the passage of her country from an aristocracy to a democracy. She saw power depart from the small upper class to rest for while in a large middle class, before falling finally perhaps upon the shoulders of all Englishmen. Not once in that time dld she create friction or trouble on account of change that she fully appreciated and understood. She was in other words as clear-sighted as Elizabeth, and thrice as loveable and amiable and wemanly
 History will give her a high place. Few appreciate now, as Bismarck and all others who knew her did, her great ness, her clearness of vision her states manlike qualities. She was noble woman called to kingly duties, and to the last limit of her strength she gave her life to her people. Towards the last it was pitiful battle on the part of failing faculties, but her will never faltered. No sovereign was ever so be- loved the world round, and no sovereign has left to the world an example of a purer, better, nobler life.
 England will lose much in the pass ing of the Good Queen, but her memory will remain, and England's fabric is very tough and strong. The great Elm pire will hold it's way steadily under the new Edward, and the story of Queen Victoria will be told and retold while the language endures. The woman may outrank in song and story the sovereign, but in either capacity she will stand fine type to all genera- tions.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Suffrage Proposition.

The proposition of Governor Oates is in it's last analysis the understanding clause of Mississippi and South Carolina that is to say, both are alike in practi- cal operation and effect. Governor Oates says intelligence and character should be the conditions of the exercise of the suffrage franchise; in Mississippi and South Carolina a voter must be able to construe any provision of the State con- stitution. These two propositions read very differently, but when they are ap- piled they are one and the same-that is to say, each renders the local board of registration the judge of voters quali- fications. Such a board can reject or accept under either proposition whom it pleases. And the trouble with either is that plenty of room for jockeying and trickery remains, for the board that does not consider voters views good law in the one case, may object to his character in the other. In either case the local board is the arbiter or umpire, and no amount of kicking can upset the umpires decision.
 It comes about therefore that either proposition is in substance and in fact the Vermont suffrage plan, where only those are citizens of the United States ''who have obtained the appreciation of the board of civil authority of the town in which they reside" If the Alabama convention should re-enact the Vermont plan word for word, it would come much nearer acting frankly and squarely than it would by trying to whip the devil around a stump.
 The problem is difficult. The grand father clause is in limbo, and may be declared unconstitutional But besides the Vermont plan there is the Daniel plan of Virginia invention. Senator Daniel proposes that all property hold CTS and all who can read and write and all who fought in any war and their de. scendants shall vote. Here is an union of intelligence, property and patriotism. There are worse plans, and the people are anxious to find a better one.

FOUR MORE ARRESTS.
Men Alleged to Be Anarchists by Elias
 Muzaras.

New York, January 2.-Four more men have been arrested in Yonkers in connec- ton with the stabbing of Elias Mazuras, a Syrian, who was wounded with a knife over the left eye during an altercation with men who he alleges are members of an anarchist society.
 Mazuras sticks to the story that he told last night of an anarchist assassination plot extending from the old world to the new, and that the assault upon him was perpetrated because he refused to assassi- nate a prominent American at the request of the group to which he had belonged On the other hand, an interpreter who was in court today when the men were ar- raigned says he understands from their conversation that the plot against Mazu- raS resulted from his refusal to work longer for the padrone, Vorris, who had employed all the men as peanut vendors.
 All the prisoners pleaded not guilty when arraigned.
