A DIAMONDS WORTH.
The x-Rsy Can De Relied On with Absolute Certnfnfy in Making
 the Test.

Tn detecting false gem from gen. uine, the X-ray, says an article on X-ray photography, in Leslie's Monthly, can be relied on with abso- lutc certainty. Diamonds, as is well known, are pure carbon; and carbon, which is opaque to ordinary light, is transparent to the Roentgen light, while glass, which is transparent to ordinary light, is opaque to the Roent- gen ray. On all K-ray photograph of real diamond nothing will show but the shadow of the gold setting.
 An interesting experiment. was made recently in watching with the aid of an X-ray machine and fuoroscope, mo- tions carried on inside of an opaque body. A goose was fed with food mixed with subnitrate of bisnuthssalt, which absorbs the X-ray. The pas sage of the food down the long neck of the goose could be plainly traced by the moving shadow cast on the horoscope screen.

 According to the railroad report, the Consolidated road carried 60,O45,221 passengers last year and received

 The St James Gazette Of London re- fers to Russell Sage as "a young man of 86. who is still hard at work piling up higher and higher the mountain of gold which he has built for himself.
 The pleasure of giving is an unrealiEed joy to most men who have made much money and Mr Sage has not indulQed in 1t extravagantly.
 Renewed attention is being drawn to the fact that hardly any of the lead Ing men of New York were born in that city. This is especially notice able in professional and commercial life, nearly all the prominent editors, lawyers, preachers and financiers and many leading physicians hailing originally from outside the confines of Manhattan isiand.-Hartford Post
 It behOoves the coal companies to seild their earliest consignments of coal to shOai water ports and to get them there before the harbors freeze over. The Weather Man has given a fair warning that he has . variety of temperatures on hand and that he csn- not furnish sunshine all of the time without having superabundance of piping cold weather to work of in punches. With the haRbors frozen over, the coal problem will confront the railroads and the consumer more stubbornly than ever before.-An- sonia Sentinel.
 The machine for registering votes Is not only bound to come. but it's arrival ought to be hastened by every neces- sary legislative act. There should be an end to quibbling.

The prospects of Cuban reciprocity seem to be improving. Reports from General Bliss now in Havana are most encouraging and the president has se- cured pledges of support for the treaty from Senator Elkins and other insur- gent senators. President Palma will, it is reported, negotiate the treaty, after which the president will send it to the senate for ratification simul- taneously with its being sent to the Cuban senate. 1t will not go before the Cuban house of representatives as has been reported. That body will have to do only with the new tariff law which the treaty will make neces- sary. / # t,F3

Mis Iren Life BeHt,

Some tims ago ship which car ried few passengers, while cross ing tha Atlantic was caught in a heavy storm. The captain of the ship, seeing the passengers in dan- ger of being washed overheard, or dered them to lash themselves to anything that would keep them afIoat in case ths ship was wrecked. But after a time, however, tho storm passed e& and Suffolk man who was one of the passengers was missed. Thinking that the worst had happened, a search round the boat wss at once made, and after awhile bs was found up in the bow of the boat, fast asleep. with the anchor tied tc himi Inquirer.

There is much satisfaction among the democrats in Washington over the failure of Representative Taylor of Michigan to promote a contest of the election of Represents Garter Glass of the Sixth Virginia district, writes Washington correspondent. In connection with this failure there is considerable unwritten history The contest was intended to involve the constitutions of all those states which have adopted laws which virtually ex- clude the negro vote. MT Taylor, who has to rely largely on the negro vote for his support at home, saw an op- portunity to further his own ends and the cause of the Crumpacker resoiu- tion and seized it. His resolution was referred to committee on Elec- tons No and there met it's Waterloo. There is a growing sentiment among those northern republicans who are not dependentson negro votes for cleo ton to congress that the southern states had better be left to work out their own salvation and the other members Of the committee refused to champion the cause of Mr Taylor. The action is Of national significance, for the reason that it is & forerunncr of the defeat that awaits any attempt of Judge Crumpacker to call up ais resolution It is also known that Representative Cannon is hostAe eo in- terfcrence with the southern statem.
 He has said that the republican party never attempted to interfere with the southern voting laws without going

There are two large Hobbies in Wash ington which are doubtless there for 10 good purpose. One is that main- tained by Mr Oxnard of the beet sugar trust and the other is maintained by J. Pierpont Morgan and is supposed to have for it's end the amendment after it reaches the senate of any trust bill passed by the house so that 1t cannot seriously affect the Morgan interests. Neither lobby has as yet made itself conspicuous and it is too early to judge accurately of their intentions.
