THE CATHODE RAY LIKE A MAUSER
BULLET.

The nature of the Becquerel rays themselves
is matter of deep interest to physicists, and a
brief description is necessary Their most re-
n arkable property is that they are deviated out
of the straight lines in which they travel by a
magnet, and this behavior is like that of the
cathode ray which Sir William CrOOkeS obtained
from his vacuum tubes nearly thirty years ago
That is the rays consist according to the now
accepted explanation, of swarms of minute
particles of matter travelling in straight lines
from their source with a velocity approaching
that of light, and each particle carries with ii a
charge of electricity. From their minuteneSS
and speed they able to penetrate metals ana
matter, in general, which is Opaque to light. y
Mauser bullet piercing a quickest hedge is a fair
analogy to a cathode ray penetrating a piece of
metal No who has seen these cathode rays
driving a windmill inside vacuum tube, or
heating a thick piece of platinum to whteness
by their impact, fail to be impressed by the
energy they possess. But whereas the Crookes
tube works under the influence of electrical
forces of great intensity and power, in the
radio elements the same phenomena are pro-
duced by mere inanimate matter, which works
by itself and goes working, sublimely indif-
ferent to known forces. apparently for ever
and ever. What is the inexhaustible source OF

A HARD FATE FOR CARLYLE.

Thomas Carlyle often blamed for his al
legged brutality; but what is to be said of the
cruelty of the fate which has already entailed
upon a proud, contemptuOus Scot, genuinely
scOrnful of the crowd and the chatter of the tea
table, more than twenty octave volumes filled
with little else but the most private affairs of
the great prophet of silence and his sarcastic
lady? His house can hardly be whitewaShed or
his bedroom turned out, or his temper tried;
he cannot go to Germany, or Scotland, or Wales.

CANALS ON MARS AND ON THE BRAIN
What, then, is the conclusion to be drawn? 1t
is | think. probable, that the so-called canals
with the exception perhaps of a few OF the
GrkeSt and most prominent seen with low tele-
sCCpic power) may not really exist upon Mars;
and also that the apparent doubling, seen IN
many of them, may be still more deluslVe
think that what is seen may for the most part
be an appearance produced by the observers s
eye, when affected by the strain of long and
earnest gazing through the telescope. L consider
that this conclusion is supported by the expert
ments quoted, and by the physiology OF accom-
mediation, astigmatism, and diplOpa in the
human eye And l believe that there is also
a subtle influence which is often cOnjointly eff
fective upon the brain and nerves of an OBJ
server.
When much has been seen, more is wished for
and then more is Those who once begin
to see canals generally go on to see an increas-
ing number; and others may presently see what
they have recorded. Even AntOnddi wrote in
1898 that had it not been for Professor Schia-
parellis wonderful discoveries and the fore
knowledge that the canals are there, he would
have missed at least three -fourths of those seen
now."-tE. Ledger, in The Nineteenth Century.

Jackson, August THE returns
from over the state received here this
morning continue to confirm the i'm
preston of last night that James x
Vardaman has been elected governor
Of Mississippi over Noel ana Critz by
n popular majority vote, but if not by
a majority vote then by plurality
and electoral vote. Money goes into
the United States senate, defeating
his opponent, Governor Longino, by
m oyerv helming vote. There is
every indication that Money will
carry over thIee.fousths Of the cocn-
ties.
The returns On other state officers
are slow. Power is elected secretary of

general by an enormous vote.
The race for auditor is close, with
Henry leading Maxwell. All coun-

A DARING ROBBERY.
Three Men Entered a Bonded Car
and Stole Silver Bullion.

A United States bonded car in transit
from the Ell Paso smelter to Chicago,
and loaded with 600 bars of silver bull
lion, was entered by robbers Monday
night between Alamogordo and Ell Paso
and 80 of the bars stolen. At Jarilla
Junction the broken seal was discover
ed and an investigation showed three
men in the car. When the attempt was
made to eject them they drew knives
and resisted, but the crew was victor
ious. Sheriff Hunter saw the men at
Dog Canon and when he ordered them
to halt, one of the men replied by OPEN
ing fire. One of the robbers was shot
through the heart and the other two
escaped, but posse is after them.
1t is believed the men threw the bull
lion from the car to be picked up by
confederates. The value of the missing
bullion is estimated at $4,000.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
The Denver and Rio Grande Has
Troubles Since Reducing
Its Service.

OF eight cars of freight on the Dem
Yer and Rio Grande siding at Tres
Piedras, seven cars. three of them load
ed, burned to the ground Tuesday
night. If the daily service had not
been abandoned, these cars would in
all probability have been moved before
the fire and thus escaped destruction.
When the narrow gauge train left An
tonito yesterday morning there were 20
cars Of freight in the yards to be NOV
ed south, but only 10 could be taken.
and with these 10 the train had to be
run into Santa Fe as a double header
1t is hard to see where the saving
comes in for the railroad company in
reducing its service when even with a
daily service, traffic on the Santa Fe-
Antonito line was hard to handle. At
Alamosa day before yesterday a num-
ber of cars went over an embankment.
This morning the train went out of
Santa Fe two hours late. 1t was an
hour late last evening In arriving here.
THE TRES PIEDRAs FIRE.
Special to the New Mexican.
Tres Piedras, Jan. 2S.-During a hea-
Wy wind storm Tuesday evening or
some time during the night, seven cars
mostly loaded with merchandise, were
burned at this depot. The cause of the
fire is not known, but supposed to have
originated from freighters' camp fire.
The loss is believed to be quite heavy.

Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, Jan. 29.-Just before Mr..
Lodge finished his remarks against
statehood yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Quay introduced the omnibus state
hood bill as amendment to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill and the sundry
civil appropriation bill. At the time no
attention was attracted by the move,
but the amendments proved to be the
omnibus bill as it came from the house.
Mr.. Quay asked that his amendments
be referred to the committee on organ
ization and conduct Of executive de-
partments of which he is chairman and
which has large majority in favor of
the omnibus bill. 1t is understood the
purpose of the move is to join the
statehood bill to bills providing the
money to run the government so that
unless the statehood bill is accepted
and passed, no money can be provided.
1t is expected that this will cause an
early vote to be had. 1t is reported
that eighteen Democratic senators
have agreed to vote for uniting New
Mexico and Arizona.
THE SENATE.
Washington, Jan. 29.-In the senate
today, Mr.. Hanna moved to disagree to
the amendments of the house to the de-
partment of commerce bill and agree to
conference. The chair appointed
Messrs. Hanna, Nelson and Clay on
the part of the senate.

ness, Both Freight and
Passenger.
the CONNECTING LINKS
ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The New Mexican has reliable infor-
nation indicating that an amicable ar
rangement has been entered into be-
tween the great Santa Fe Railway
System" and the ambitious and grow
ing "Rock Island System" It Is either
close traffic agreement whenever and
wherever the lines of these railroads
parallel each other, or the Rock Island
route has managed to get hold of con-
siderable Santa Fe Railway stock. The
New Mexican understands that Santa
Fe railway surveyors are now In the
field surveying a line about rs miles
long between Dodge City on the Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway, and
the town of Liberal on the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad, both
places being in Kansas and Liberal be-
From Liberal after the completion of
this line connecting the two great
roads, the Santa Fe system is to use
Rock Island tracks for it's through Pa
cific coast business, passenger and
freight, via Dalhart, Tex, Tucumcari
and Santa Rosa, N. M, to Llano sta
ton on the Ell Paso and Rock Island
railroad in Guadalupe county, this ter
ritory; and thence over the line Of the
Eastern Railway of New New Mexico,
now building via Belen through the
junction with the Santa Fe-Pacific rail-
road at Rio Puerco; thence via the lat
ter road to San Francisco, Los An
geles and California points reached by
the Santa Fe. 1t is understood that
the Rock Island route will also use the
same route for its through passenger
and freight business to the Pacific
coast, running it's own trains over the
Eastern Railway Of New Mexico and
the Santa Fe-Pacifc railroad. This Of
course, means practical consolidation
of these two systems, no fight oyer
trans-continental traffic between them,
a community of interests and for the
time being, no building of a direct route
for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cifc railroad through New Mexico, Ari-
zona and California to the Pacific
coast.
