Becomes Party Leader.


In 1872 he first became noted in pol
itics. Almost instantly he sprang into
prominence, being selected as the rep
resentative Of Wisconsin on the repub-
lican national committee. Then for
ten years he was postmaster in Mil
waukee, retiring in 1886.
The political success Of Mr.. Payne
is considered to have been remark
able. He knew intimately men and
conditions and he was always pacific
in his methods. The rank and file
were taken into his confidence and ap-
parently he never forgot that party
interests should always be above in
dividual interests. 1t is said of him
that when difficulties arose he disarm-
ed personal opposition by tolerance,
and overcame difficulties by tactful
concessions. He was assertive. but
rarely dogmatic. and few men pos
sessed greater ability to make and re-
tain friends. While unassuming in
manner, he was answering in adher-
ence to conscientious political convic-
lions. He often used to say that the
greatest political disappointment he
ever had was when he failed to per-
Suade Governor Hoard to recede from
the position he took on the Bennett
law Feeling there was no demand for
the law. which he called a useless and
unfortunate piece Of legislation, Payne
did all he could to convince Hoard of
the fact, but failed He conceded the
right of Hoard to force an issue him

to force the issue on the republican
party.
Show Tender Nature.
In his private life Mr.. Payne was lib.

and generous in his sympathies. His

titles Of ice-cold water, varied by all
coholic stuff, invites death.
Food has only two uses In the human
system; to repair the waste Of muscular
effort and to keep the body warm. In
hot weather the body needs no fuel. If
a man does no muscular work he needs
little food, and that Of the lightest de-
scription.
Fruit is the best is Of hot-weather
diet. Don't be afra Of watermelon. 1t
is pure water distilled by nature herself
and favored to taste without drugs. Cool
watermelon is a health preventative, es-
pecially valuable in cases of summer
complaint.
Clothing is less important than food,
but there is no reason why men should
wear stiff shirts and thick clothing IN
summer. New York has at its worst a
tropical climate. In the tropics men wear
the thinnest suits of white and cover
their heads with pith helmets.
1t does not pay to run to catch street
cars when dressed for work. Yet sum

when one is dressed for 1t and able to

Powers of Microscopes.

All who use the microscope are aware
that the limit of its magnifying powers
Is soon reached. Beyond a certain point
the image becomes indistinct, large but
not clear, and the imperfections OF the
instrument are magnifed as well as the
object. Prof. Dolbear has observed that
"the powers Of the microscope have not
been doubled within the last fifty years,
though more time and ingenuity have
been given to the problem of improving
it than will ever be given in the same
interval again." 1t is dangerous, how
ever, to prophesy. One of the exhibits
at the Royal society's Conversations
seemed to mark very distinct advance.
j. w. Gordon showed a high-power
microscope, which had in the view field
Of the ordinary instrument a rotating
glass screen, and this viewed through a
second microscope, gave q further mag
MITIGATION of 100 diameters. The ground
glass screen, by expanding the transmit
ted light wave, causes 1t completely to
fill the aperture OF the second microf
scope so that the usual imperfecti0ns OF
excessive magnifcation disappear. A
diatom was magnifed 10000 diameters,
and it's structure was clear and well de-
fined. The London Engineering remarks
that with the same magnifcation the eye
of q house fly would seem to cover an
area Of 312 square feet. If such powers
can be applied there is a new world, or
at any rate much larger one, for the
botanist and, the biologist.-London Tele-
graph.

First Made Sure of the Collection.

Rev. Mr.. Gallagher, an old and we'll
known resident of this place, was to
preach in the Presbyterian church last
Sunday, but the rain fell In torrents,
and the citizens would not venture away
from their comfortable homes, although
they were all anxious to hear the SER
mon. Now nearly every family in Cen
ire has a telephone, and someone among
the good brethren suggested that Rev.
Mr.. Gallagher preach to them over the
telephone. He consented to do SO, say
ing that he could preach to them in that
manner, but he was at loss to know
how to take up the collections. After a
short conference was held between one
of the leading members and Rev. Mr..
Gallagher, it was agreed that the "lead-
ing members" would stand good for the
collection, and every family in Center
who has telephone took down the re-
reiver while Rev. Mr.. Gallagher, in one
of the homes, delivered his sermon
through a MISREPRESENTATION Telegraph.

TIDAL MOTORS.
Scheme of Maine Inventor to Generate
Electricity Cheaply.

Probably Journal readers are not
aware that Bath has man who is an
inventive genius and who has been elab<
Grating for fifteen or more years a motor
that one day will likely produce ell the
electricity used in Maine! This gentle-
ance is a tidal motor. Mr.. Dennett's
theory Is that every tide that GIBBS and
flows within twenty-five miles of Bath
represents sufficient lost power to drive
every industrial wheel in our state.
Mr.. bennett figures that within four
or. five miles of Bath, which is practical
lyllocated upon an island, at least %, 900
or 10000 horse power can be procured
from a system OF tidal motors. This
system includes strings of turbine
wheels, set off shore and turned by the
ebbing and flowing tides, the wheels
sending the power to ii generating wheel
"a balance wheel Mr.. bennett calls IT
placed on shore.
These systems can be located at vari-
Gus points; for example, in the Kenne,
bee river out of reach of floating ice and
away from the anchorageS Of vessels;
they can also be placed in the New
Meadows and Merrymeeting bay; in the
Sasanoa river, or wherever the tide runs
in the vicinity OF Bath, and the power
generated thereby can be sent by trolley
wire to central power station in this
city, whence 1t can be sent wherever
needed and employed.
Now the possibilities Of the bennett
tidal power motor are immense. The
Bath and Lewiston railway cars could
be sent whizzing over rails by use OF this
power. Every engine in this vicinity
could be run by it, doing away with the
vast amount of coal now used.
Mr.. bennett figures that tidal power
can be obtained at one-third less cost
than steam power. This economy makes
it a subject of serious consideration.
Mr.. bennett has a working model OF
his tidal power system which he occa-
sionally exhibits in public to keep awake
the interest of people in the subject. His
work is of an entirely philanthropic kind.
He is not seeking money, He says he is
too old to care for that and too old also
to promote his scheme. All these years
his labor has been to develop the power
chiefly that Bath might become a manu-
featuring city through low-pHced power.
BY locating the bennett system at
various points, perpetual power Is OBJ
tanned. OF course were only one system
used, the power would fail at extreme
flood and low tides.-Bath CMe.) Letter

Hashish Smoking in Egypt.

The total amount of hashish seized in
Egypt during the past year amounted to
"a, $40 Kilograms, an increase of TOO kilo-
grams over any previous year. About
one-half of the total crop is said to have
been seized. The price of hashish stands
higher than it has ever stood before. This
appears to have slightly affected the con-
sumner. In each ''goza" or pipe is placed
a piece of hashish weighing about two
grains, and valued at less than milli-
emes, with some charcoal. This is passed
round to eight consumers, each of whom
pays 27a milliemes for long pull. 1t is
said that formerly each pipe was required
to serve twelve consumers. The profits Of
the retail traders have certainly been re-
duced, but they are still enormous. TWEEN
