WHAT THE MICROSCOPE HAS DONE

I remember that in the year 1860,
says Prof. John Trowbridge in the
May Atlantic, a man who occupied
himself with microscope was smiled
at as blear eyed, narrow specialist,
who had little interest in the large
affairs of humanity the important
questions of the time, such as the
anti slavery cause, the question of
the Turk, the problems of free trade
and the tariff. It was supposed that
the microscope was perfected in
strument, and that little more could
be done with it than in studying
lower forms of life, which were in
teresting to the naturalist, but had
little to do with humanity. At that
time the death rate from diphtheria
was over sixty per cent, and more
than five per cent of women died in
childbirth. Today, owing to i'm.
provements in the microscope, the
death rate in diphtheria has been re-
duced to less than ten per cent, and
the mortality in lying-in cases to one
twentieth of one per cent?

CONCERNING THE GULF STREAM.

Ever since discovery of the gulf
stream by Ponce de Leon in 1913 it
has been the subject of scientific in
vestigation and the latest theory Of
the American photographic Office is
that it is merely the overflow of the
water heaped up by the trade wind
drift in the Caribbean sea and the
Gulf of Mexican. This most cele-
brated Of all ocean currents starts be-
tween the northern coast of Cuba and
the Florida reefs and even at the
surface is throughout considerable
portion Of it's extent either independ-
ent of the wind or only slightly
affected thereby
1t is at the point of emergence from
the Bemini straits between the coast
OF Florida OH the west and the
Bahama bank on the east that the
stream reaches it's maximum strength.
Between Fowey rocks and Gun Gay
light it attalns breadth of thirty
eight miles, an average depth of 239
fathoms and a daily velocity of fifty
miles. On occasion. however, the
velocity approxinates 100 miles
day. In it's journey north there is
notable increase in breadth and
diminution of velocity. While in it's
northward course along the United
States coast the western edge of the
stream follows closely the 1OO-fathom
curve the line of greatest velocity
varies with the declination of the
moon, heiDg eight miles nearer shore
at high moon than at low. In color.
the gulf stream is a deeper blue than
that of the neighboring sea, he
greater depth Of color being attribut-
able to the streams higher percent
age of salt.
The almost tropical temperature of
the gulf stream is due to the rapidity
with which it passes from tropical to
northern latitudes. Frequently it
reveals temperature from ten to fif-
teen degrees higher than that of the
neighboring water. In the latter
years of the eighteenth century the
chronometer, the invention of Harri-
son, was still an experiment and the
determination of longitude largely
guess s-work. We are told that nauti-
cal people hailed with delight the
suggestion of Benjamin Franklin,
that observance of the temperature of
the surface water would enable the
master of vessel to determine the
moment of his entrance into the gulf
stream and his approximate position.
At Hatteras the stream veers from
the coast in east st-northeast direction

and are allowed to construct their own
standard types, can so successfully COM
pete with the world in locomotive
manufacture"
With regard to the consumption of
coal by the various types of engines,
Lord Cromer reports as follows: cit
is, however, in respect to the relative
consumption of coal that the recent
trials are of special value. The most
scrupulous care was taken to render the
trials fair. On this point Mr.. Trevi-
thick says: 'These comparisons have
been carried out under exceptionally
favorable circumstances, inasmuch as
the locomotives employed were typical
of their respective countries in design
and manufacture, and the results con-
jointly signed by representative sent
out by the American builders, and
locomotive inspector of the Egyptian
Railway Administration.
Trials were made with both goods and
passenger engines. 1t was found that,
in the case of goods engines, the Ameri-
can consumed 254 per cent more coal
than the British engine, while the lat
ter was drawing 142 per cent more
load. In the case Of the passenger en-
gines, the American was 80 per cent
more than the British consumption,
with the same average load. This lat
ter difference, represented at 34s. I'd.
per ton, (the average price paid last
year by the Railway Board an additional
cost of 400 pounds sterling per engine.
Major Johnstone, in reviewing these
figures, says, speaking mora especially
of the passenger engines: "The con-
trast between about 20 lbs. of coal per
mile in the best runs of the British en-
gine, and over 60 lbs. in the hardest
runs Of the American, is quite extra
ordinary. On the whole, the superior
ity of the British type is fully estab
lished; but it is clear that the passenger
engine is bad example of American
practice" Lord Cromer concludes his
memorandum as follows "The general
conclusion to be drawn from these
trials is, think, that in respect to
price, British manufactures can we'll
hold their own where special designs
have to be executed; that in respect to
quality they turn out work equal to, or
superior, to that of American or Bel
gian competitors; that in consumption
of coal they have a decided superiority
over American, and that the British
weak point is the time required for ex-
ecuting orders"

REGISTRATION BY
WHITES IS HEAVY
Reports Received Point to
Ninety Per Cent.
FEW NEGROES REGISTER
For the Most Part They Show an Utter Lack Of
Interest. A Majority of the Whites
Registered Under the Grand,
father Clause.

1t is too soon to make figures as to
registration. The book did not close
until last night at midnight, and the
numbere registered must be largely
based upon the guesses of the registrars
and party managers.
Two months ago Senator Pritchard
was understood to estimate the negro
vote at 10000. Mr. Josephus Daniels,
National Committeeman from North
Carolina, said two weeks ago that high
water mark would be 10000, but he
didn't think it would reach half that
figure. If the registration in all the
State is not larger in thise places not
heard from than from the towns and
cities heard from last night it is doubtful
If there are as many as 5000 negroes
registered in the whole State. The ne
gro vote has been variously estimated
in the State at from $4,000 to 10000.
Fully 100000 voted in 1896, perhaps 120,
600. In 1898 not nearly SO many voted
and in 1900 the number was smaller.
In most places the negroes have shown
no interest whatever about the matter
and have not tried to register.
The figures and estimates sent in last
night are found below:
