AS usual there was a m IN the
case-and she cast the decisive vote
which determined that Richard Mont
gomery should not go to the United
States Senate. Everybody will recall
that famous fight for the senatorship.
1t was the fercest of all the contests
ever waged in the legislature of the
state.
1t had promised to be a very tame az
fair at first. The party had a clear ma
1ority and the caucus would decide it.
The machine" had a firm grip on the
situation, and It had been decided
weeks before the legislature convened
that Michael Meme ny should have tn
place. McInerny was a wealthy and
reputable business man, closely allied
to the machine" and a liberal con-
tributor to the party campaign funds.
The caucus promised to be a cut
and-dried affair, until Richard Mont
gomery announced himself a candi-
date. Montgomery was a man Of great
inherited wealth, highly educated,
still in his thirties and full of new the
cries concerning the science of gov
eminent. With all his means he had
thrown himself into the practice Of
law after completing MS education
with an energy that would have done
credit to a man driven by necessity,
and he had attained a commanding
position at the bar.
The party management had got into
the attitude of a sort of close corpo-
ration. It was this fact hat led to the
candidacy of Montgomery for the SEN
ate. Those who were on the outside
of the organization had resolved to
make a fight on the "ins." and had
prevailed on Montgomery to stand as
candidate because OF his reputation,
ability and wealth.
1t looked at first like a hopeless af-
fair. The machine apparently had the
situation copper-riveted. But Mont
gomery took hold of the matter with
a vim, aftH ina few days the party.
leaders beheld their fences going down
on all sides.
Two days before the caucus the fight
had become so nearly even that there
were predictions that there would be
a tie vote. The machine leaders were
in a panic and money was spent like
water. This was the situation Tues
day night when Thomas Carroll, n
Of Montgomery's %lieutenants, appeared
at M~ontgomery's apartments in great
excitement and high glee.

Fierce Battle Between Sea Monsters.
Just outside San Francisco's beauti-
full harbor, so often spoken Of as THE
Golden Gate" in plain view OF hun
dreds Of pleasure seekers who were
in yachts and launches, a fierce fight
took place recently between a big
whale, a huge fox shark and a sword
fish. The battle lasted half an hour
and ended in the complete defeat Of
the whale, which was injured so badly
that it sank like a wrecked ship, Grim
soning the water for many yards
around. The fox shark was fully 30
feet long and kept up an incessant at
tack on the whale. 1t leaped into the
air and descended head first upon the
whale. beating and biting the leyia-
than. After several of these attacks
the whale sank. but was forced to the
surface by the savage assaults Of the
swordfsh. Again and again was this
kept up until the whale began to show
distress by spouting blood. Finally
1t spouted and then sank like a foun-
dered ship.

NAMES OF \
Chemical Nomenclature suggeeted By.
PennsyIvania Scientist.

Nomenclature ~Sugge6ted BY
Pennsylvania Scientist.
At the last meeting Of the Students
Neurological Club, as the subject OF
the evening, DR.. Henry Lehman spoke
upon the Relation of Mineralogy to
Chemistry" says the Philadelphia
Times. In the course Of his remarks
the speaker referred to the prevailing
confusion in meteorological names, due
to the many minerals differing but
slightly. The nomenclature adopted
by mineralogists he thought to be
totally inadequate, as it conveyed no
meaning of the minerals properties,
composition or external form. AS an
example, Woilastonite could be better
expressed by the chemical formula, Ca
ST O3, than by the name, since the
latter has only been adopted to perpet-
uate the name Of an individual. Many
like instances were given. The speak
or exLi lifted several chemical COM
pounds which were beautifully crys-
talllzed, and which have never before.
been sound as meteorological speci-
mems. The chemist finds no difficulty
in giving them their true place In
chemical nomenclature, since the atom
ic theory s~tandardizes the system.
The speaker was Of the opinion that
the method Of determination as en-
ployed by ineralogists-namely, color,
hardness, cleavage, specific gravity,
wet and blow pipe tests, optical proper
ties and crystallographic form, may do
much to determine a mineral, but with
no degree Of certainty. In the discus
sion that followed DR.. Lehman ex-
planned that the many forms OF one
substance might be distinguished by
annexing the name Of the system under
which the mineral crystallized. Mr..
Groth made a brief report Of the YER
delite quarries at Easton, Pa, and an
nounced that in conjunction with
Messrs. S. H. Hamilton and J.. Bern
stein a more detailed account OF its
occurrence, including a chemical analy-
sis, would be submitted.
