For the first time since the civil war
the pension appropriation is reduced,
being this year Sl39, SAG, $50, reduction
of about S5,000,0O0 from the preceding
appropriation. 1t still remains the larg-
est single item in the national expendi-
ture; but the fact of its reduction would
seem to indicate that the 'high tide in
pensions" for some years anticipated,
has been reached. With the Spanish
war, the increase of the regular army,
and service in tropical climates, all
tending toward an increase, it can not
be expected that the ebb of the tide will
be rapid. Nor does a grateful country
begrudge dollar of honest pensions.

An Old Electrical Machine Dating
Back to the Revolution.
Nearly every schoolboy Of a genera
ton ago was familiar with the friction
al electricity machine, never Of very
much practical value, but Of great In
terest to youthful minds on account OF
the spe,k that could be made to pass
from condenser to youthful finger.
Nowadays the size Of the spark has In
creased as the size Of the machine has
diminished, but an example Of the ear
Her type is still preserved at the Jeffer-
son physical laboratory at Harvard,
where an interesting collection Of an
tiquated pieces Of apparatus gives the
visitor to Cambridge an opportunity to
compare the earliest with the latest
methods Of studying physics and as
tronOmy.
This special piece, moreover, Is par
ticularly interesting in that 1t was orig
inally purchased for the college by
BENJAMIN Franklin when acting as
American commissioner to France dur
ing the Revolutionary war. 1t Is cum
bersome affair that would require a
horse and small wagon or a whole
automobile to move, but the principle
on which 1t Is based Is the same as IN
its modern successors. Aside from size
the most noticeable difference Is In the
use of a glass globe about a foot in d.
ameter to prodlce the electricity by
friction instead Of the big circular glass
plate seen In later machines.
Despite It's size and the big globe,
however-which is supported on posts
resembling those Of colonial four
poster bed-the old machine never ex-
ceeded a spark two inches long and
was even proud Of that modest per-
| Torrance. How modest 1t really was
may be seen by comparison with Il
modern machine in the next case, SO
much smaller than Franklin's that II
can be he'd in one hand, that produces

line is formed by a street that divides
the two towns, and the boundary

certainly an enterprising individual.
His saloon is located on the street d.

where the dividing line is not clearly
defined. The patron Of this saloon
buys his drink in America, and, STEP

In Mexico In this way the proprietor
avoids the duty on imported cigars
and can provide his customers with
the best make Mt lower prices than
most of his competitors.
"They tell an amusing story about an
American who imbibed too much fight
Ing whisky at this saloon. When he
arrived ut Il certain stage, he allowed
his prcjudices to get the better Of him,
and, standing near the boundary lire
of Lis own country, he heaped anathe-

American. hoping that he would stroll
across into Mexico. He did get over
there after awhile although the trip
was wholly unprecedented. During
