A new pen has recently come upon
the market in Europe for which con-
siderable success is predicted. These
pens are made of tantalum in substi-
tuition for steel They are more fiexi-
bic than gold pens and more durable
than those of steel, since they resist
corrosion, and can with difficulty be
spotted with ink At the same time
their points are exceedingly hard.
The applications of the X-rays to
the study of phenomena invisible,
without their aid continually increase
in number. Some of the results are
rather curious than useful, but sub
stantial additions to knowledge are
being made in this way. One of the
latest scientific uses found for the
rays is in revealing the inner struc-
ture of flowers and fruitbuds. In some
respects this is a better method than
dissecting for the study of certain
parts of plants.
In the Pan Angle Telescope of Dana
Dudley of Wakefield Mass. vision is
connected around corners by mirrors
in the angles of the tubes. A telescope
eyepiece receives the image, and if the
distance is considerable powerful lights
are placed at the transmitting stations.
Removable hoods mounted above
buildings or on shipmasts make it pos
sible to obtain extended outside views.
The tubes may be placed under
ground or elsewhere, and with the APP
paratus installed in a factory with
electric switches controlling suitable
mirrors, a superintendent may look
into any room or building at will, or
may view person at telephone.
In his Bakerian lecture in London
recently, Prof John Milne said that
in addition to the many tremors due
to seismic, or earthquake, influences
which delicate modern instruments de-
tect, there are certain pulsations which
seem to have some other origin. Some
of these are diurnal, and are probably
due to the influence of the sun and
the weather on the ground. In wet
weather the sides and bottom of
valley carry greater load than the
bounding ridges; in dry weather the
case is reversed. Even the transpira-
ton of moisture by plants may pro-
duce perceptible effects upon the tilt
of the ground. Thus the face of
mother earth is almost as sensitive to
external influences as the skin of liv-
ing creature.

HEARST ADMITS DEFEAT
He Says He Will Continue the Fight
in the Ranks.

New York. Nov. T. = At 2:15 this
morning Hearst made the following
statement: ''In view Of the result |
have only to repeat what | have said
in my speeches. / am enlisted in this
fight against the control OF the gov
ernment by the trusts and corrupt cor

This came after quite Il furry of eX-
element had been caused by Il report
that the Independence League leaders
were claiming that discoveries had
been made showing that the result WAS
in doubt.

IN SOME SOUTHERN STATES
Missouri So Close Both Claim Her for
Their Own.

st. Louis, Nov. 7.-Confident claims
are being made at Republican and
Democratic state headquarters alike Of
having carried Missouri. Returns are
coming in very slowly, showing Demo-
cratic gains in some parts and Repub-
lican gains in others.
Louisville. Nov. 7.-Returns indicate
that the only change in the Ke;.tucky
delegation to congress will be in the
Third district. where the Republicans
have apparently gained seat. This
with the two they already hold gives
eight Democratic and three. Republic
an representatives.
Wheeling. w. Va. Nov. Z. = Partial
returns from scattered counties in West
Virginia show the probable success Of
all five of the Republican cOngression-
al nominees.
Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 7.-Returns
from over the state compared with
those of two years ago indicate a ma
jority of $4,000 for Malcolm r. Pat
terson Oem.i over H. Clay Evans
(Rep). The legislative returns are
overwhelmingly Democratic.

OUTRAGE AT A COAL MINE
Attempted Wreck Of "a Triple because
the Operators Oppose, the
Union

Wheeling. w. Va. Nov. An at
tempt has been made to wreck the tip
pie of the Elm Grove Coal works. six
miles east of here. A stick Of dynamite
was placed in the stove in the scale
house directly under the tippple. Short
~ after the fire was kindled in the
stove there was a terrific explosion.
Tine scale house was blown to pieces
and the underpinning of the tipple
wrecked.
The man who kindled the fire for
tunately had left before the heat reach
ed the dynamite. The mining company
is the only one in this sub-district
which has not signed the compromise
scale settling the recent coal strike,
and on Monday it started shipping coal
with nOn-union men. The explosion
occurred before the nOn-union men
went to work. and no one was injured.

Not n Clothes Peg.

Peggie Newton had been a faithful
household drudge for years, and had
not grumbled much when her wages
were occasionally passed over. But as
time went on, and her salary fell more
and more into arrear, she ventured to
ask for something ION account"
"Why, haven't | paid you your wages
lately, Peg? How careless of me-
her mistress said. I'm sorry | have
no money in the house just now, but
here's a smart cloak that | We ceased to
wear, and which is only wee bit out
of fashion You'll take it in lieu of
wages, won't your
mo. ma'am. I'm sure | shan't." said
Peg, wrathfully eying the faded old
cloak. "A peg | may be by name, but
| won't be the sort of peg that people
hang castof clothes on-not if | know
it."-London Answers.

Jackson In Triumph,

After the battle of New Orleans, says
Thomas E. Watson in his magazine,
when the victor had been crowned with
laurel in the cathedral and acclaimed
like demigod through the streets, it
was of his mother that he spoke to the
officers whom be was about to disband
their glorious work being done.
Gentlemen, if only she could have
lived to see this day." AS you follow
the narrative of Andrew Jackson's ca
reer, you will hear him say many
things that you will not approve. will
see him do many things which you
cannot applaud, but when you re-
call that at the very top notch of his
success and his pride his heart stayed
in the right place and was sore because
his mother could not be there to glad
den her old eyes with the glory of her
son you will forgive him much in his
life that was harsh and cruel and ut
terly wrong

Idaho,s Anti-Mormon Eight.

Boise, Idaho. Nov. Z. = In Fremont
county Democratic challengers. on the
advice of the Republican committee,
were arrested at all precincts, thrown
Into jail and refused bail. In Babcock

Republicans by challenging them for
alleged disqualification on account Of

Old Whist Term

The following passage is from the
Adventurer. No. 35, March 6, 1853:
"On Sunday last a terrible fire broke
out at Lady Brag's, occasioned by the
following accident: Mrs. Overall, the
housekeeper. having lost three rubbers
at whist running without holding a
swabber Notwithstanding she had
changed chairs, furzed the cards and or
dered Jenny, the footboy, to sit cross
legged for good luck), grew out of all
patience and, taking up the devils
books, as she called them, flung them
into the fire, and the flames spread to
the stewards ROOM
Swabbers are the ace Of hearts, the
knave of clubs and the ace and the
deuce Of trumps at whist. To furz or
fuzz is to shuttle the cards very care
fully or to change the pack.-London

OFFER TO THE SWITCHMEN
Lackawanna Refuses 10 Cents an
Hour Increase in Wages, but
Comedies a Ten-HOur Day.

Scranton. Pa. Nov. 1.-THE Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail-
road company has made a statement
that the demand of the switchmen for
an increase of 10 cents an hour in
wages is unreasonable, and that the
demand has been refused. The COM
pany, however. comedies a ten-hour
day to all switchmen who now work
twelve hours, without any cut in
wages, thus making the hours and the
wages the same for this grade of work
on all sections of the system.
Chairman Flynn, of the switchmen's
grievance committee, says the position
taken by the company is unsatisfac-
tory to the men. The company's an
swer has been forwarded to Grand
Master Frank Hawley, at Buffalo, and
the reply of the executive officers of
the union is expected here by tOmOr-
row. when it will be at once placed in
the hands of the railway officials. Some
of the switchmen here regard the sit
uation is nearing a critical point.

n "Turner" Story.

Very few London dealers indeed ars
competent to judge Turner's works
that is, without certified history. A
lady acquaintance Of mine had a large
picture in her house which she had al
ways regarded as Turner, and, desir-
Ing to sell it, she offered it to five or
six Of the leading dealers, but not one
OF them would buy it at any price, as
sorting that Turner never saw 1t and
that it was nothing like his work, and
so on. A few months afterward doc
ument turned up among her family pa
pers showing that the picture had been
specially painted by Turner for her
husbands father, and in a week she
had sold the work for f2,25O. The av-
erage dealer is almost frightened to
touch Turner, and you seldom or new
er see one exposed for sale in the gal
leries.-Chambers' Journal

Why Rain Clouds Are Black.

The color of cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls upon
it and the position of the observer. 1t
will be noticed that high clouds are al
ways white or light in color, and this
is because the light by which they are
seen is reflected from the under surface
by the numberless drops of moisture
which go to form the cloud. Heavy
rain clouds, on the other hand, are
found much nearer the. earth, and so
the light falls on them more directly
from above, giving silver lining to the
cloud, though the undersurface APP
pears black owing to the complete re-
Election and absorption Of the light by
the upper layers. Seen from above by
an observer in a balloon, the blacklist
rain clouds appear of the most dazzling
" brilliant white.

JOHNSON GETS A LANDSLIDE

ernor by 10000.

st. Paul, Nov. 7.-Governor Johnson
has been reelected governor of Min
nesota over his Republican opponent,
A. L. Cole, by majority Of at least
10000. The Dispatch, Republican, con-
cedes this. Frank Day, chairman Of
the Democratic state central commit
tee, claims JOhnson's election by 49,
900.
This majority for Democratic can,
didate is unprecedented in Minnesota.
Four years ago Van SAINT, Republican,

Des Moines. Iowa, Nov. 7.--For the
first time in many years the guberna-
torial result in Iowa is in doubt. AL
though both Republican and Demo-
cratic managers claim the election of
their candidates for governor. all the
returns received up to this writing in
dictate that only complete count will
determine the result. The go pre-
cincts already received show a loss for
Cumn;ins of nearly 40 per precinct,
which if maintained would mean the
election of Porter. Democrat, by a
small majority.
