The Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills. pas
tor Of the church, was to preside. but he
did not appear. At his home II was ex-
planned that DR.. Hills had gone to dinner
in Manhattan, but that he fully intended

This resolution. presented by DR.. Abbott,
was adopted

no DELAY CtBtN TREATY.
Eject Of Postponins the Date When II IL
to Go Into Operation.

WASHINGTON, March III. ID. Dumont
Of the Merchants Association Of New York,
who has been in Washington several weeks
advocating the ratification OF thu 'ciprocity
treaty with Cuba, gave out n statement to-
day In which he said
At this stage Of the special session of
the Senate there has been developed,
through the leadership OF Mr.. German.
a combination Of Democratic Senators
for the rejection of the Cuban treaty. The
purpose of this combination il wholly
partisan. Its object is TO defeat the treaty
outright, or. il that cannot I've done, to
attach to II a provision that would make
II imperative until It shall have received the
approval Of the House Of Representatives.
That would postpone the benefits OF the
treaty to both Cuba and the United States
Until some time next year. solely in order
to furnish Mr.. Germans party associates
q text upon which to argue in favor OF
general tariff revision.
Millions OF dollars are now ready for
investment i'm Cuba and in the increased
production OF American MANUFACTURED
goods for export to that island. But all
this immediate activity and investment
group of Senators propose to postpone
FOR at least year IN order TO give thrm
an opportunity TO make speeches about
the tariff The Merchants Association
feels that its members and those in sym
pathy with its objects in all parts Of the
country. and without regard TO their
polit ical affiliations. should bring TO hear
a. once every possible pressure upon the
Senate TO set aside the narrower influences
that are working for delay. That delay
will not only afford European producers
opportunity 10 entrcnch themselves more
firmly in the Cuban market. hut will tend
10 increase Cuban indifference toward the
United States"

Color Photography.

Science for Jan. 80 has an account
of the process of color photography
recently patented by Mr.. Miley of Lex
ington. Va. Negatives are prepared
by the tricolor process. using three
sensitized plates and three screens,
red, green and violet For the red
screen an orthochromatic plate flowed
with a cyanin solution is used; for
the green screen an orthochromatic
plate is used, and for the violet screen
a plain gelatin bromide plate. There
are thus obtained three negatives
varying in density in the different
areas according to the color values
of the three primary colors in the
corresponding areas Of the object

tives by the use of bichromatized gel
atine pigment paper carbon tissue).
The pigment papers used are red. yel-
low and blue. The blue paper is
printed from the red screen negative,
the red paper from the green screen
negative, and the yellow paper from
the violet screen negative. These three
printed films are then superposed upon
transfer paper. the result being col
or photograph which initiates the col.
ors of the object with marvellous ac
curacy. Copies of oil paintings are
very successfully made. The process
can no longer be considered in its ex-
perimental stage, as 1t has now been
in commercial use for matter of two
years.

The Uses Of Aluminium.

Aluminium is now finding consider
able employment in this country as
a substitute for copper as an electrical
conductor in connection with the
transmission of power over long dis
tances. One of the most important
of these installations is the transmits
sion of 10000 horsepower from the
Snoqualmie falls to Seattle and Ia
coma, distance of more than 40
miles. In this scheme an alloy of
aluminium with l " per cent of copper
has been used. the lightness and
strength or this alloy enabling spans
of $50 feet to be made with safety.
A great saving in the number of poles
is thus effected. which is said to be
one of the principal advantages gained.
Many other transmission schemes In
which aluminium is used or about to be
employed might be mentioned. Besides
the saving in poles, aluminium affords
a much smaller weight of conductor
and is cheaper than copper. In round
numbers, for equal conductivity, the
section of an aluminium cable is one
and a half times that of copper one,
the weight is half and the tensile
strength three-quarters. 1t is the de-
creased weight which, in spite of the
smaller tensile strength, allows longer
spans to be used, and this effect can
be made more marked by the use of
a suitable alloy possessing increased
strength without much diminished
conductivity or much higher specific
gravity.

Recent Science.


It is found that ailll cocoons can
be given any color by coloring the
leaves upon which the silkworms feed.
Prof. Meunier of the French Acad.
emy of Science announces that vol.
cano is forming under the Place Re-
public in Paris.
There is no bridge between the
spiritual and material world" says
Sir William Crookes, president of the
British association, "and l don't SEQ
how there can be-"
The life of modern leather, made
by the use of sulphuric acid, is but
fifteen years. This makes it neces-
sary for the British museum to spend
100000 q year in renewing leather
book bindings.
Perhaps the greatest problem OF the
present in theoretical chemistry is the
splitting up of the so-called elements.
The indivisible atom has long been
discredited and the recent work on
electrons has dispelled the last rem
nants of its old time sanctity.

Electric Power the Cheapest.

Fuel of all descriptions is expensive
In California, says the Electrical Re-
view, and the mining operators have
found the use of electric power not
only better than steam or water power
but even less expensive. A case is
mentioned where one company saved
$3.50 per month using electric power at
$3.50 per horse power month, as com
pared with water under a head of 1856
feet, at 20 cents per miners inch. In
another case steam plant was re-
placed by motors and the cost of
driving the blower in this way was
one-half of what it had been when
using steam. 1t has even been found
economical to use motors to drive the
air compressors when air is used fol
operating tools throughout the mine
