Russian Cruelty Denounced.

a remarkable demonstration of American
sympathy for the stricken Jews and other
victims of Russian bigotry and oppression
was given in this city last night through
the asse-nblage of representatives of all
classes Of the people at local theater to
listen to addresses and finally to adopt res
buttons in the strongest terms denuncia-
tory of the connivance of the Russian gov
ernment in the outrages at Odessa, Kisfn-
neff and elsewhere. The meeting acquired
a special significance from the character of
the speakers who addressed 1t. Repre-
sentatives in Congress, a justice of the
United States Supreme Court and ministers
of Christian churches Joined voices in ex-
pressing their horror at the shameful con-
duct of the Russian authorities in standing
idly by and permitting MODS of so-called
Christians to assaI inoffensive Jews in
southern Russia Catholics and Jews in Po-
land and Lutherans in Finland. The Ques-
ton was thus broadened from the original
basis of complaint that the Jews were the
only sufferers from Russian reprisals. The
meeting demonstrated that the belief is en-
tertained at the capital OF the United
States that the government of Russia is
engaged, at least passiveiy, in a crusade
against all other religionIsts than those
identified with the official church of that
country. despite the promises OF the car to
grant religious freedom to all his subjects.
Such a meeting in such place must have
an effect eventually, especially as it is only
one of a series of similar gatherings
throughout This country. The Russian gov
ernmert is faced by no more urgent duty
than that of guaranteeing at least freedom
of worship within the wide boundaries of
the empire. Apart from the civil troubles
the Industrial crisis. the political uI,heaval
this matter of liberty of conscience is in
sistert in its demand for consideration

DEAD WATER.
Eject OF This Queer Marine Phenom.
euon lpon a ships speed.

euon I pom u snip
One of the most curious marine She-
nomena known 10 seamen Is that call
ed by Norwegian sailors dead water,
which, without any visible cause,
makes q vessel lose her speed and re-
fuse TO answer her helm. The sailors
only definite knowledge Of its origin "
that II exists solely where there Is
surface layer Of fresh water resting
upon the salt waters OF the sea. Sew
eral explanations have been advanced
by tho captains Of ships Of the effect OF
dead water, the commonest OF which is
that the two water layers move in diff
ferent directions. The true eNplana-
ton, however. recently offered 10y Swe-
dish navigators and verified by mathe'
matical calculation and direct expert
ment, Is that in addition 10 the resist
ance waves at the surface the vessel
creates u second line of subaqueous
waves between the two strata OF wa
ter.
The experiment carried out to dem
onstrats the truth Of this theory was
an exceedingly pretty one. n large
plate glass tank was first mounted on
q wooden frame. The tank was then
filled to "A certain depth with salt wa
ter. and layer of fresh water was
carefully poured on to the surface. so
| that two separate water layers were
! obtained.
! The salt water was blackened with
liquid Chinese ink before the water
layers were prepSred, and in this way
the different layers were made clearly
visible. A boat model was then towed
along the tank and silhouette OF the
waves produced was obtained by plac
Ing white screen at n short distance
behind the tank. The waves were alSC
photographed by fashlight, and the re
suits showed conclusivcly that waves
actually were set up NJ the boundary
line between the two liquids.
Further experiments were made Il
verify the sudden loss of speed due tC
dead water. The boat model was
drawn across the tank and the towing
string suddenly slackened when The
boat was about halfway across. IL
cases where the tank contained sal
water only the boat stopped gradually
moving some boat lengths after The
towing string had been slackened
When the tank contained layer o
fresh water resting Oh salt water, oI
the other hand the boat slackene,
speed quite suddenly and moved only I
very short distance.
These experiments, carried out OH
small scale prove conclusively that TN
difficulties encountered within IA dea'
water zone are really due TO the re
sistance experienced by the vessel il

GIANT MAGNETS.
The Operation OF Lifting MOnsteS
Loads With Them.

The peculiar properties OF an electric
current often lead one 10 fancy that
II may perchance be endowed with the
spirit OF intelligence, SO mysterious are
It's inner workings.
4 most curious use OF electricity is
the adoption OF lifting magnets in ma
chine shop and mill practice. An elec-
tro magnet in its simplest form con
sists of piece Of soft iron wound with
a large number OF turns OF insulated
copper wire. When an electric current
passes through the windings of wire
the electric forces are converted into
magnetic forces and the coil OF wire
and core of soft iron assume all the
characteristics OF common steel mag
net.
The operation Of lifting magnets Is
quite simple. The magnet Is attached
10 the crane hook, and the ends OF the
wire forming the coil are connected
directly with the dynamo. The. crane
Is then swung SO that the magnet Is
suspended directly over the metal TO
be removed. The magnet Is then low.

After their work they were sup

room a high screen. The instant the
waiter was gone they commenced op-
elations. They stripped the silver
ware, of which there was tolcrable
supply, from the table and placed it
; behind the screen. They then OPEN

and finally ali got under the table.
; The jokers had only to remain in
their cramped position a few minutes
before they heard the unsteady feet

shouting at the top of his voice, he
ran out Of the room and along the
passage
