HEAT N NOTION.
Various Theories About the Connec-
ton Between These Agents.


The idea that heat Is a kind of motion
was entertained by Plato, who makes
Socrates say: For heat and fire which
generate and sustain other things are
themselves begotten by impact and
friction. but this is motion. Are not
these the origin of fire?'
Bacon defined heat to be "a motion
Getting In Its strife upon the smaller
particles of bodies" Newton, Boyle
and Hooke considered heat to be mo-
ton. Locke described it as "a very
brisk agitation of the insensible parts
Of the objects which produces to us
that sensation frnm whence we denom-
mate the object hot; so what in u
sensation is heat In the object is moth
ing but motion. This appears by the
way heat is produced. for we see that
the rubbing of a brass nail upon q
board will make 1t very hot"
Many scientific men have held heat
to be matter. and in spite of Rumford's
vigorous exposition of its fallacy this
material theory held its ground until a
comparatively recent date, when Sir H.
Davy took up the subject and by his
experiments proved ~conclusively that
this view is unSound.

these animals is hemlock browse. They

The henllock is their pasture. and
they make beaten paths going TO and

Once up in a tree the porcupine goes
out on the big limbs and, pulling the
small branches in with n paw,
browses on the pungent leaves. In go
ing through the woods you will find
little piles of these fine leaves on the
ground under hemlock trees. That

The Liberty Can.

When the Romans manumitted q
slave his head was adorned with a
small red cloth cap. AS soon as this
was done he was known as q liberti-
nus. or freedman. and his name vas
registered among others of the city's
tribes" In the year 2G3, when Satur-
MUS invaded the capital. he hoisted a
cap on the point of his spear to indi-
cate that all slaves who rallied around
this standard should be free. This was
the origin of the liberty cap still used
In art as a symbol.

Reorganization by localities:

Total .... .. ...... .4,610 s2,s5S.7St The fact that nearly 5000 colored citizens" continues the Cortelyou | bible, "are in the public service and receiving salaries aggregating about $3,000,000 furnishes further proof of the broad and liberal policy of the Re- publican party, while the further fact that the colored employees are prover- bially faithful. courteous and efficient | Is ample Justification of the attitude of the party toward the freedmen of the nation"
 The reorganization by localities" will serve the purpose. probably the intended purpose. of assuring northern voters that while the "colored citi- zen" Is to be rewarded for political fatihfulness with fat government jobs, that such negro officials will be placed in the South, where the Northern man will not be forced to deal with him. For 1t Is a truth that to many minds "a nigger is a brother as far away as Georgia is," (to paraphrase a line of the Biglow Papers). but he is nothing more nor less than a nuisance in Bos- ton.
 The eight pages which MT. Cortel- you's book gives to the negro question Is entertaining, if not instructive. It points with pride to the fact that 1t ''has" and carefully refrains from threats or promises to do it again."

race, color or previous condition of ser l vitude." Strangely enough the most | bitter portion of the article is directed at Mississippi which has an educational | qualification just as has Massachu- | setts, while nothing at all is said of | that portion of the California consti- | tuition which says: provided, that no | native of China, shall ever exer- else the privileges of elector in this State"
 The discussion of this plank of the platform is apologetic. Someone seems l to be sorry that MT. Lodge was per- mitted to put 1t in. Read the apology, subJoined and bear in mind that the plank itself Is not quoted in the ar ticle, but Is referred to as this plank" "The plank of tho platform under consideration favors an investigation by Congress of the subject, and after l the facts are ascertained a reduction Of representation in accordance with the constitution. It is mistake to suppose that this plank refers to the Southern States alone. Many other States exclude from their electorates substantial portions of their male cit izens (sic) twenty-one years of age. notably the States of Massachusetts,, Connecticut and California. It is clearly just that any reduction under the XIVth amendment which Congress may adopt should apply equally to all of the States of the union. Any inves- tigation which Congress may adopt should apply equally to all the States where there is any denial of the right of suffrage to any of their citizens. This is the obvious meaning of the plank. This utterance of the conven- tion has been bitterly attacked as sec- tional and calculated to arouse race hatred. It Is neither"
 Now the negro who reads this may, perhaps. be displeased with this dis avowal of any intention to interfere dn his behlf. but the Cortelyou cam paign book is prepared for every emer- gency The colored brother has but to look at the top of the page and find that the declaration that "this plank has nothing to do with the negro question is under the chapter heading, The Problem of Cur Colored Citizens"
 But lest this should not be sum- cient for the colored brother, there is more. Let him turn to the next page and there find "a charm for every woe" that is more substantial than one lunch with the President. It is table of statistics of the number of negroes in the employ of the govern Aiteht' dhu' Joy oA JoyS' lHe dnount of dollars paid to them annually in salaries

DIAMOND RING RECOVERED.
Valuable Ring Taken by Little Negl
 GswI

A quick and clever piece of detective work was accomplished yesterday af- ternoon by Special Officers Payne and Graham of the Montgomery Police De- partment when they recovered dia- mond solitaire ring valued at s150 which was lost some days ago by s. c. Marks from his residence. 620 Bibb Street.
 Though the ring was lost several days ago, the loss was not reported to the Police Department until Wednes- day afternoon. Special Oficers Payne and Graham went to work on the case yesterday morning and last night re- turned the ring to Mir. Marks. Sus- picion was directed to a daughter of Nettie Wilson. MT. Marks's cook, a little girl about years old. who had access to the rooms in the house The ring was found in the chiid's posses sion by the officers late yesterday af- ternoon when they went to the wo- mans house on Martha Street. The child's mother said that she noticed the child with the ring some days ago, but thought 1t was of small value, and did not take 1t away from her.
 In view of the circumstances of the case Mir. Marks declined to prosecute the affair. being satisfied at the return Of the ring. which was an heirloom and highly prized by him.

proved. These lands, by careful culti- vation, produce on an average 200 crates of strawberries per acre; 300 bushels of potatoes, and like proportion of other products. Two crops of Irish potatoes are produced on the same lands. The amount of stun produced on small acreage by these thrifty Ger man planters is a matter of great won der. and affords a valuable object les son to the average Southern farmer, who tries to cultivate more acres than his capacity will admit.
 Cullman is one of the. most pros porous and progressive towns in the State. and has a steady and healthy growth at all seasons of the year. More than fifty substantial business and resident houses have been erected in the past twelve months. and several are under course of construction at this date The constant influx e money for the all-the-year crops makes business in ali lines good and the people are consequently prosperous and happy.

THE STOLEN PROPERTY.
LeGrand's Home Was a storehou.e

An overcoat, an umbrella and three pillows were yesterday added to the list of supposedly stolen property which has been taken from the home Of Will LeGrand by Special Officers Payne and Graham who have been hard at work securing the evidence which 1t appears will make things go hard with the negro when he is tried.
 LeGrand is confined fin the city prison with several charges of larceny dock. eted against him. and with the prob. ability of more charges being preferred as soon as some of the remaining prop erty is Identified by the owners. An open-face gold watch with chain and a flve-eighths carat diamond stud. set in an old-fashioned setting are the most important articles found in the home of the negro that have not yet been identified as stolen property.
 LeGrand says he bought the stud from a tramp and paid him si5 for 1t. but the story is not believed by the police.
