Iconoclasts were image breakers. The
controversy respecting images. which
had been introduced into churches for
popular instruction about A. ID. 300
was begun about y. d. 72G and occa-
stoned much disturbance and loss Of
life in the eastern empire. Leo Isau-
ricus published two edicts for demol-
ishing images in churches in that year
and enforced them with great yigor in
13G. The controversy was carried on
in the church. and the schism was the
occasion of the second council of Nice
a. u. 49, The icOnoclasts were finally
accommodated at the eighth general
council held later at Constantinople,
and this controversy led to the separa-
ton of the Greek and Latin churches.
Many images We're destroyed in Eng
land and Scotland during the reforma-
ton and in the civil war-1GI1-4S-and
on each occasion the destroyers as
sumed the name of iconOclasts.

Rousseau lived long on his fifth tiool
in Paris, forgotten by the world which
he affected to despise and from atfec
tation really Stunned, when an acct
dent happened to him in one of his
solitary walks. He was met in mar
row part of the street by NJ. de Far
geau, driving very fast in his carriage
and in his attempt to get out of tho
way was pushed down by large Dan
ish dog running before the horses. NJ
de Fargeau Immediately stopped his
coach and FASTENED to assist the per
son whom his dog had thus knocked
down. but when he saw it was the
author of "Emillus" he renewed his
apologies and attentions.
The next day he sent to ask after
Rousseau.
Tell your master to chain up his
dog was the only answer.

Fire Under Water.

Fire under water may be produced
by placing some small pieces of phos-
phorus in a conical shaped tumbler
and then covering them with the crys-
tails of chlorate of potash. Next fill the
glass with water and then add a few
drops of sulphuric acid, the acid to be
applied directly to the phosphorus and
potash crystals by means Of long
tube. If the experiment is properly
carried out tongues of bright red flame
can be seen flashing up through the
water. the intense chemical heat pro
duced by the action of the sulphuric
acid on the potash and phosphorus be-
ing sufficient to inflame the latter, al
though entirely covered with water.

Belief In Rat Charms.

1t is a curious fact that as late as the
middle of the nineteenth century there
eXisted-indeed there may still exist
among the good people Of Cavan and
Tyrone a belief that rats may be
charmed away by rhymes and other
magical means. one of my acquaiut-
ances was told by an Irishman of a
case Of "billeting' rats-that is, Of
clearing them out Of one place and
lodging them in another. No pipe was
played. Indeed the method was Il mys-
terry, but the rats came flocking out of
mill and granary an hour before mid
night and moved away in compact
mass to their newly appointed lodg-
ings. 1t was a brilliant moonlight
night and scores of people besides the
narrator followed them as they troOped
down the roads and through a sleeping
village to their destination. - Sunday

most complete and elaborate gathering
of the world 5 products and of the
marvellous accomplishments of the
age even before brought together. 1t

ment to the genius and enterprise of
the people of your city and State !;
its beauty and its splendor command
the admiration Of the people of every
nation it IS source Of pride and
pleasure to the citizens of this Re-
public, because we here demonstrate
and prove TO the world what we have
long been conscious of ourselves, that
this is the greatest nation on earth,
that IN business and commerce we
ment in the arts and sciences has
never been equaled in the world
history and that to-day we can say
truthfully and without unwarranted
boastfulness that we lead other
countries in civilization and in all
those. things that go to make human
life better, safer and happier.
As we stand here surrounded with
the miraculous achievements of your
undertaking we are profoundly i'm
pressed with the signal victory of
American genius which this event
typifes. With only a hundred years
behind you, from the time when
savages of an alien race we're in the
useless possession of this territory,
down to the present era you have
builded faster and better than ever
did people before and now you have
reared in a night, as it were this
matchless carnival city, which seems
to be almost the elimination of man s
attainment and triumph. Countries
whose civilization dates back for
thousands of years cannot equal this.
Yon deserve great credit for the
launchin Of this gigantic exhibition.
Looking over this magnificent ex-
position-exhibitlng, as 1t does, side
by side, the trade, the art and the
home life of the people of all civilized
countries-looking over this interest
ing and inspiring scene-is not your
mind so elevated as to enable you TO
see how we are closely related to all
mankind-how we cannot escape the
privileges and the duties of a copart-
ner in the civilization of this day.
BY modern inventions and the oo-or-
dination of human affairs we are
close to all the world, sharer in all
their gains and mlsfortunes, in their
tho lights and feelings, affecting them
and being affected In turu by them for
better or worse. What sad, lnglorious
waste of money this exposition must
be- if it does not teach us much, If 1t
does not humble our vanity while en-
larging our vision and swelling our
hearts with greater respect and syn
patty for all mankind and a deeper
reverence for Almighty God We
shall be blind If we do not see that a
nation, in this day, should not spend
all it's efforts in gaming wealth and
power, and that true happiness and
glory can be won for its people by
other means than by the sword and
gun.

GRAFT IN BUFFALO.
Aldermen Accused OF Bribery in Connec.
ton With Sewer Contracts.

BUFFALO, Sept. 9.--An investigation by
a committee OF the Board OF Councilmen
into allegations of bribery in connection
with the building Of certain sewers having
brought out sensational testimony, District
Attorney Coatesworth was asked to-day
what, II any, action he proposed taking
He replied:
From statements made to me by At
torney E. C. Randall as to information
which he has received concerning wrong
doing in the matter Of the construction
of the Ferry street sewer, it very strongly
appears that the Grand Jury is the proper
tribunal to conduct further investiga-
ton into the several transactions which
are alleged to have occurred in connec-
ton with that work, and such investiga-
ton will be had before that body notwith-
standing the work OF the Councilmanic
investigation committee"
In the Council investigation, testimony
was given by William F. Boyson showing
that John Harrar, a contractor. had given
a note or notes for an amount not yet as
certained, in favor OF certain Aldermen,
who were to receive the money when the
contract was awarded TO Harrar Boyson
who was partner CT Harrar, testified that
n clerk in the AssesHors Office was the GO
between in this note transaction, Harrar
being told that the money was to be paid
for confirmation Of the assessment roll and
procuring the contract.
Attorney Edward G.. Randall, who in
stituted the investigation, made the first
formal move by presenting charges on
information and belief that John Doe and
others since 1893 have conspired to defraud
the city by securing municipal contracts
at high figures and dividing the profits.

No Agreement as Yet.

Carpenters and Employers Get Together
No Agreement as Yet

President Mason Of the Building Trades
Alliance, q committee OF the Brotherhood
Of Carpenters called at the Building Trades
Club yesterday and asked for conference
with the Master Carpenters Association.

Of the tw o bodies met The members OF the
union committee were asked II they came
with power to settle or had any propositions
to offer, and replied in the negative.
Chairman Lewis Of the Master Carpenters
committee then stated that 100 carpenters
had been employed under the arbitration
plan of whom rs per cent. were brotherhood
men, and that IL the Br otherhood meant
business it would have to declare on all
strikes and take them into the union with
out any fines. They were told also that
the arbitration plan. which hitherto only
applied to the Manhattan districts OF the
Brotherhood, must in future apply TO the
locals throughout New York city.
Then the committee OF the carpenters
found that it had a proposit ion to oner.
This was that the present strikes and lock
outs be declared off, that all the men now
at work, union or non union, be discharged
and that negotiations for new trade agree
ment be then entered into The employers
said that their plan could not be changed,
and the conference ended.
