USING wATSON's SPEECH.
special Dispatch to Evening Capital.

New York, Aug. 0.-Considerable
interest has been aroused among the
politicians of all parties by the report
that the Republican headquarters here
are sending out thousands of copies of
Thomas Il. Watson's speech of accept
ance of the Populist nomination for
the presidency in the hope of estrang
ing the votes of the Bryan Democrats
from the national Democratic ticket.
Many Republicans and Democrats,
too, do not hesitate to say that Wat
son S speech is the strongest yet made
against the Democratic ticket. and
that it will do the Republicans more
good than any, not excepting that Of
Elihu Root in opening the national
Republican convention.

METHOD OF EXECUTION.
Special Dispatch to Evening Capital

Washington, ID. O., Aug. 3O.-Ad-
vices from Toxic state that the Japa-
nese government has abandoned the
electric chair method of executing
criminals, which was copied after
that used in various parts of this coun-
try, in favor of a method which is
considered more advanced and humane
than that employed by any other ma
ton Under the new method death Is
dealt out by means of a vacuum
chamber, in which life is extinguish
ed in record time, and with a mini
mum of suffering by the almost instan-
taneous exhaustion of air.

THE POWER OF STEAM.
Many May See but IL Takes Genius to
Realize.

When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to jump up and
down he said There must be power in
that steam that 1t can lift such a
weight"
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded 1t as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put its
finger on the cause of Dandruff, FAN
ing Hair, and consequent Badness. and
has unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots OF human hair.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys this
germ and consequently restores the
hair to its natural state.

The price of silver has advanced and 1t is expected to go above SO cents an ounce, unless the situation should change in some unexpected way. To a certain extent the advance is caused perhaps. by the nice handling of the market by large holders of silver. A disposition to speculate for rise helps the advance. The larger factor, how ever, is the eastern demand. which has long been the mainstay of the market. The far east has always been tLe great buyer of the white metal. In that quar- ter of the world are some 700, ,0OO, ,000 or S00,000,000 people, most of whom are very poor and use coins of small value. For their ordinary transactions even bronze and copper suffice-so small are their units of value-but sil- yer is used in larger transactions and for hoarding.

Alcoholic Criminals .

In paper on the criminal responsi- bility of the alcoholic the medical off, cer of PentonviIle Prison said that mo one becomes mad when drunk who is wholly sane when sober"
 Referring to the dreamy mental state of morbid drunkenness, the doctor said that what ordinarily happened was that after many years of intoxication the individual acquired peculiar suscep- tibility to alcohol so that relatively small doses led to more or less lengthy dream states, in which the patient might seem to speak and act pretty eoherently, though in reality he was in sort of sonambulistic state and knew nothing at all afterward of what he had done or had only a hay recol- lection of it. In one of these phases he will probably murder his family or attempt suicide
 The admission of morbid drunken ness as condition excluding full re- sponsibility was especially desirable in that it would further the trend of pubic opinion to adopt preventive measures against the criminal alco- holic. When, therefore, the chronic alcoholic had once shown the dispo- sition to dream states with impuIsive tendencies, especially homicIdal or sui cidal, he ought to be dealt with on the same footing as the impulsive epiIentio immune from ordinary punishment but unfit for ordinary freedom.
 It will be long time, however, be- fore our very practical and common sense courts will accept this view of the drunkard's irresponsibility.

The residents of Tlalpam. Mexico complain that the public clock of that town is useless; repairs are made every week. but every week the clock gets out of repair and can never be kept in good condition. This is perhaps for the good reason that the Tlalpam clock is probably the oldest public clock on the American continent. It was in- stalled at the cathedral of that city in the year 1657; in 1790 it was donated to the council of San Augustin de las Clevas, now Tlalpam, when it was in- stalled there and set in motion. Since that time it has never undergone re- pairs until a few weeks ago. This clock, therefore, has told the time for PAY years, and it is but natural that it is tired and wants to be sent to a mu- scum

STRANGE MATHEMATICAL GIFTS
Prodigies Who Could Answer Offhand Difficult Arithmetical Problems

Infant musical prodigies are intelli- gible and even natural, compared with l infant mathematical prodigies. How account for the intuitive faculty by which some children, unable to read, write or cipher, can answer instanta- neously the most complicated arith- metical problem? Zerah Colburn e. E. at six could neither write nor cipher, and yet could answer. apparently by intuition, and unhesitatingly, all kinds or arithmetical questions. At he came on show from the United States to London, and answered in a moment and accurately such questions as:
 How many minutes are there in forty eight years?" The child not only an- swered it at once and correctely, but instantly added the number of second contained in that period. By what mental process he arrived at these an- swers he could not explain.
 Here again is a question which George Bidder, the son of a laborer. answered at the age of 12. in one minute. It was put to him in the London stock exchange: If the pendulum of clock vfbrates the distance of nine inches and three quarters in a second of time, how many inches will it vibrate in the course of seven years, fourteen days, two hours, one minute and fifty-six seconds. each year of 365 days hours, 4S minutes and 55 seconds?"
 Within the minute the boy had an swered correctly: 2,165, ,625, ,744st. In miles, 34,17S miles, 475 yards. two feet and three-quarters of an inch.
 But the classical case of this kind was that investigated by a committee of such scientists as NJ. Arago. M. Libri and M. Lacroix at Paris. They examined Vito Mangiamele the son of Sicilian peasant, Il years of age, putting him to such questions as: Find the cube root of 3,769, ,416 which the boy did within half minute Find the tenth root of 2S2, 475, ,249''- which he did within three minutes Then came this poser: What number has the following proportions-that, if it's cube is added to five times it's square, and then 42 times the number and the number 40 be subtracted from the result, the remainder is zero?" NJ. Arago repeated this question, but while he was finishing the last word the boy replied correctly: 'The number is five"
 Two things strike you about this ex- traordinary cOngenital faculty - it's mysteriousness and it's useIessness. In exemplification of the two take the case of Jedediah Buxton He also worked out almost instantaneously the most complex problems; but he could give no account of the mental process by which he solved them. This process was so far from being cor related with intellect, or even intelli- gence, that when Jedediah went to hear a great preacher or went to see Gar rick in Richard IT, his sole interest in the sermon or the play was the counting up of the number of words uttered by the preacher or by the ac- tors.
