The Car Again in Danger.
New Plots against his Life.
MANY ARRESTS MADE AND
TROOPS KEPT UNDER ARMS.

A despatch from Berlin states that the
st. Petersburg correspon lent of the Cologne
V0lks ZietuRg, says that there is evidence
in st. Petersburg Of tie existence of plots
against the authorities. He asserts thai
sums of money are being distributed to the
factory hands in St. Petersburg and vicinity
TO induce them to join TIE dsafft cted
Students.
1t has not been learned whence that
money comes, but indications point to high
sources about the court. Tue secret police
no longer trust even The highest entour-
age of the car. New precautions fer the
protection of the czar's life have been
taken-namely, mechanism which allows
no one to open the doors of the room in
which the czar happens at the moment to
be. TIE czar has five desks in bis study.
which he uses one after the other. The
walls of the czar's study and bedroom are
lined with steel armor.

given Saturday night to keep all the troops
IN ST. Petersburg ready. Sunday the p1-

main streets of the city. The military
commander of St Petersburg, NJ. KIeige 5,
received number Of warnings.
The Berliaer TagebIatt prints special
despatch from st. ietersbu g, by way of
Lemberg, to the effect that the Karpoyitch
investigation has revealed a great plot,
similar to the nihilistic conspiracy, with
Kieff as a centre, the main branch at
Odessa and ramif ations extending to the
lowest strata OF ciety. The pan was to
make an attempt on the life of the car,
who was thereupon removed to Gatchina.

Some OF our merchants and planters are
doing all in their power to discourage the
emigration that is now taking place at the
instance of several foreign corporations
These wouldbe political economists claim
that this exodus will raise the price of labor
here and at the same time decrease our
home consumption.
This same experiment has been repeatedly
tried before and has proven to have been
beneficial to the country invariably, and to
the emigfant as a rule.
Austria, Italy, Ireland and France are
illustrations of this; in al of which countries
the authorities have not only permitted but
encouraged defamation of over populated
districts.
Over population means the dearest kind

''cheap labol" necessarily eDjoins under
consumption from the inability of labor to

Lord Kelvin. Inventive Ey.sia...

Soon after Lord Kelvin had assisted
In laying the Atlantic cable. when he
was yet known as Sir William Thomp-
son. his mind was greatly troubled In
deyisIng some method for perfecting
tn. ordinary telegraphIc apparatus
used on overhead wires. as the old
method. or the one then Ia vogue. was
not suited for the varying currents
passing along the cables.
The laying OF the electric current had
the effect OF making them run together
In one bottom current. with surface
ripples. The difficulty which Lord
Kelvin had 10 overcome was TO invent
n means of clearly distinguishing all
the delicate fluctuations.
One day the great Inventors eyeglass
dropped OF aud swung In front OF the
magnet. The glass detected It's move
ments. and from this simple and unex
pected Incident the mirror lnstru-
ment" was invented.

Banks Ready For Emergencies.

To meet sudden and unexpected de-
mands upon banks, a large sum is kept
ready for use. The average large
bank-say with total assets of $20,-
O00,000-is prepared by four lines Of
defense to resist sudden attack. In
the vault or safe about 100000 in
bank bills is always on hand; back of
that is a cash reserve Of perhaps ST.
100000, deposited in various business
banks subject to instant call; back Of
that again is perhaps $S,0O0,0O0 in
United States and other gilt-edged Sc
curities Immediately marketable, and
the fourth and last line of defense, and
to be retired upon only in extreme d's
tress, is $6,0OO,O00 or SS,000,000 in
bonds and mortgages, ON which the
mortgagers will be hurriedly called to
make payment on account If the
bank Is pushed to extremeties. With
such resources, disaster would seem
impossible. though 1t has come to the
best fortified institutions.-The Book

A recent test was made of the effect
of N-rays on insects in the following
manner: A box was made, half of
wood and half of sheet lead. In the
wooden half number of larvae of
flies, bees, beetles, and other incests
were placed, and the box was then
put in the field of the X-rays. The
insect colony at once became greatly
excited, and after crawling to and
fro, finally emigrated, TO worm,
10 the leaden half of the box, where
the rays would not penetrate. The
experiment was repeated many times
and always with the same result. A
similar experiment was tried with the
blind larvae OF Il certain species of
beetle. a number of them were
placed in an open cigar-boX, which
also contained Il metal box with an
opening. No sooner were the rays
turned on than the insects showed
signs of distress. Their uneasiness
increased, and in little while they
all sought refuge in the metal box. AS
the larvae in. the second experiment
were entirely sightless, their percep-
tion of the rays must take place
through the nerves of the skin.
