Representative Latimer of South Carolina, who is a candidate to succeed Senator McLaurin, is in Washington on business. Speaking, of South Calo- lima politics, he said: "John McLaurin has been speaking in the state in favor of republican politics, and 1t has been suggested that answer him. How ever, do not believe in rushing into q campaign that is eighteen months oil, and shah choose my own time to say what have to say" Of General Wade Hampton's refusal of the offer of the postmastership at Columbia, MT Latimer said: "I have no doubt the offer was made in the hope of securing the influence of that grand old warrior in favor of Senator McLaurin's plans, and he has shown that his influence IS not to be secured in that fashion. There isn't money enough in the world to buy General Hampton"

The statement has been very pos

The statement has been very posi- lively made in Washington by those who are believed to speak for the ad- ministration that Minister Conger will not be allowed to return to China, and that his resignation will be accepted at the expiration of his present leave of absence. It is said that the adminis- tration regards his published inter views on matters pertaining to China and the articles published over his signature as decidedly undiplomatic, and that he no longer has the support of the administration of Iowa Men who have been disposed to be friendly to Conger are thoroughly disgusted with his throwing bouquets at the Chinese minister to the United States, who did more than any other man to discredit Ccnger's reports from Pekin in the early days of the Chinese nego- tiations.

At first these things look like the sails of Chinese junks hung up on frames to dry. But it was afterward discovered that the frames had TO- tary motion, and it then became ap- parent that the mechanism was that of Chinese windmill. The device was employed to pump up sea water into basins, where the fluid evapo- rated under. the Influence of the sun and wind. The salt was then made into cakes and loaves for shipment inland. Owing to the presence of g considerable quantity of sulphate of magnesia in it, the salt had bitter taste, and also possessed certain medicinal qualities that interfered with it's usefulness as continent. !.
 The mills themselves were rather unique. They rotated around verti. cal shafts. The sails, which resem
 bled window shutters with horizon. tai slats, were inclined to the wind at a peculiar angle. Tn this and some other details the design was novel to both Americans and Europeans. Whenever high wind was expected the sails could be furled up or trimmed so as to come to a standstill
 The mill was stopped, also, with the aid of sort of curb or cord applied to the axle. Whether the Chinese windmill is more efficient than the American does not clearly appear.

Trade has not, to a satisfactory ex- tent, followed our flag into the Philip pines, if boots and shoes may be con sidered fairly representative of other articles of commerce. Althought 1t is Q fact generally admitted, both at home and abroad, that American shoes are the best and cheapest in the world, an ofiicial statement from the war de- pertinent shows that both Spain and Germany sold many more boots and shoes in the Philippines last year than the United States--the exact figures be- ing Spain, sT4.1s3; Germany. s5o,241; the United States, $7.s32. MT McKin- ley's contention is that we took and intend to keep the Philippines solely for commercial reasons. In view of the tremendous amount of cash we have put and are putting into the Phi lippines it would seem that our trade ought to make better showing than it does in boots and shoes to leave Mir McKiniey's contention any standing at all

THEsCAMERA IN WAR.
It's Most Important Use Ts the Phu- toEraphy of ProjectiIes and
 Their Effects on Armor.


 Guns, gold buttons and embalmed beef no longer constitute the entire essential equipment of an army.
 Fhe camera has taken an important place in the panoply of war, and the official commissioned photographer is of more consequence than nine-tenths of the uniform bearers. Of course, the war photographer is on the field with definite purpose, which is not the snap-shotting in full uniform of the admirals of the nations forces. Instead, the newest and most impor- tant use of the war camera is the pho- tography of projectiles.
 At first the principal use of the camera was in taking photographs of battlefelds and Notifications from balloons. Valuable work of this kind was done in the NCrimean and in the Mexican wars. Photometry, or land surveying by photographs, was first practiced in the Franco-Prussian war.
 The most important service of the camera recently has been in photo graphing projectiles during flight and the movements of projectiles and their effects on armor plates and oth- CT targets. It is now possible tofpho- tograph the air waves surrounding a moving bullet and the so-called jump of guns and small arms.
 Photographs have been taken at the Krupp works recently in the one two-millionth of second. This mar velous snapshot work has opened an entirely new field of investigation. Photographs taken at this speed catch moving bullet as clearly as though it were at rest. The pictures show that the bullet congresses the air in front, producing a wave like the prov of moving ship. The bull let leaves wake of confused air currents for some distance behind it much the same as ship. It has been found in this way that great deal of the bullets force is wasted in producing sound waves. The photo graphs taken at this speed of projec- tiles striking armor give many curi- ous results.-N. Y. World.

HEARD IN PASSING

The Cambridge money loaner, who, 1t is said, has charged some Harvard students over 400 per cent for bor- rowed money, has received license to do business another year, despite President Eliot's written request to the contrary. Something should be done to protect the poor students who, when far away from home and short of cash, are so likely to feel loan-some. Boston Herald.
 The postage stamp sticks to one thing until it gets there.-Boston Budget.
 Three hundred designs for e new issue of Swiss postage stamps have been submitted to the federal coun- cil, which has appointed committee to determine the most suitable pat terms.
 The London general post office has been pulled down in order that it's site may be occupied by larger and more convenient building. The razed structure had been occupied since 1915.
 The domestic rate of postage which has for years existed between the United States and Canada and the United States and Mexico, now also holds good between the United States and Cuba.
 In Australia great delays in the transmission of the mail occur fre- quently because of the protracted drought to which that country is sub- ject. During the dry season the dusty deserts of Queensland and other sections of the country are inn passable, even for camels. The postal authorities are endeavoring to devise a method whereby the delays may be obviated.
 An interesting part of the German parcels post department is the room where the packages sent by soldiers are received. Soldiers are allowed to send parcels at the low rate of 20 pfennigs Give cents) up to three kilograms (about six and half pounds) weight, regardless of dis tance. During the last year 3,562, 300 soldiers packages, with value of 712,56o marks. were sent.

IN CONTINENTAL EUROPE.

Of the 276,ooo foreigners resident in Germany, 11s,o0o are Austrians, only 11,000 English.
 Greece has only three pigs to every 100 people. England has ten to every 100 of her population,
 In Lucerne there recently died a man who had made the ascent of Mount Pilatus 115 times.
 The annual product of entrants in Greece is about 100000 tons, but last year, owing to the downy mildew, it fell to 45,ooo tons.
 There are hints from Paris of the return of the once fashionable fervon- iere--a jewel to be worn on the fore head and held in place either by . velvet band or fillet of gold.
 The moving sidewalk of the Paris exposition was great success; 6,694,- sos persons paid for the privilege of using the platform, while only 2,635,- SGT used the railway that carried pas sengers in the other direction.
 A certain Paris millinery firm was established in a small way ten years ago. The first year its profits were s,16o. The next year they had lenped to $19,ooo, and in three years had reached $234,ooo. The last years bal ance showed s41s,ooo on theright side of the ledger.
 The outcry against the brutality of the Austrian army officers to their men has had such nn effect that the officials have issued an order prohibit- inp officArS from tnuohinp the bodv of soldier with sword or gesticulating with that weapon while the troops are drilling.

 The Bachelor--It were safer to place your lipsto the muzzle of gun than on the lips of deceitful woman.
 The Cynic--It has been said that ow- ing to fortunate instinct woman nev- CT reasons falsely. Is it because she doesn't reason at all?

Infants Require Lots of Sleep.

During the first few months of a baby's life the greater part of the time should be spent in sleep, but the sleep should be natural one. Sooth- ing sirups or sedative drops given by foolish mothers to an irritable infant to induce sleep are often the cause of disease and death. In most cases a change of clothing and . warm bath are all that is needed to produce healthy sleep, and if this is not ef- fectual the child's diet is probably not right and should be given atten- tion

Light Anects silk worms.

M. Camille Flammarion, the celebra- ted astronomer, has been studying the effect of colored light on silkworms. White light yields the maximum, and blue light the minimum, production of silk. Next to white light, the purple of the red end of the spectrum gives the best results. Blue rays increase the number of males, and .swarm rays'' the number of eggs laid by the fe- males.

HIS OLD C0MANDERY.

The members of President McKin-
leys old eommandery Of Knights
Templar, Canton Commandery No. SO,
had asked the privilege or posting a
sentry over the casket, while it lay in
state.
Chas. L. 0berly. a business man Of
Canton, was the first Knight Templar
to take his post at the head Of the
casket, and throughout the afternoon
the guard was relieved every 30 min
utes. At the foot Of the bier stood at
parade rest, national guardsman' Of
the Sth Ohio infantry. On the presi-
dents right sergeant of infantry, and
on his left sailor stood with his
hands clasped over the hilt Of his cut
lass.
Four detachments of militia were
marched into the hall and drawn up
in a line reaching from the entrance
on the south 70 tho her. Another line
stretched from the bier to the place
where the hall diverged and down each
side hall were other limos. Strict or
ders were given to see that there was
no delay in the crowd as it passed out
OF the building.

SCHOOL GIRLS, TRIBUTE.

At one time a group Of school girls
approached the casket. There were
six OF them and they came six abreast.
One In the forward row leaned over
for look and gently disengaging from
the bosom Of her dress a scarlet geran-
ium, laid 1t gently on the top OF the
wreaths that Already laid there. The
others followed her example, and al
though the sentries had orders to per-
NIT nobody to place anything upon the
coffin or to touch the floral offerings,
that were already there, the little tri-
butes Of the girls were allowed to re-
main and they were still on the top
Of the coffin when 1t was carried
through the door on its way to the Nc
Kinley cottage on North Market
street.
All through the afternoon the crowd
passed the catafalque approximately at
the rate OF one hundred every minute,
making in the five hours in which the
body lay in state, a total of 10000 peo-
pie, practically a number equal to the
total population of Canton.

passed out and entered their carriages.
Objection was made by some Of the
army officers to the bright light shed
by the elecS-, lights full on the face

pressed that the light should be dim
