COMPRESSED AIR.

1t was recently noticed in a cold
storage that candies or lamps began
to burn with a feeble flame as soon
as they were brought into the room
and that in many parts of it they
we're xtinguishel. A match could be
lit, but the wax would not ignite. In
the corner of the storeroom was a dis
used well, from which gas issued, n
Mr.. Bertram Blount, who was asked
to Investigate the cause of the trou-
BILE, at first supposed that carbon d.
oxide was being distributed into the
air from this We'll. But this was not
borne out by analysis of the air in the
room and from the well. says Knowl7
edge and Science, FOR the amount of
carbon dioXide was only slightly more
than is present in normal air, and
was quite insufficient to have affected
the combustion of a candle. Samples
of the air taken from different parts
of the. room contained only 17.5 to
17.7 per cent. of oxygen, or from 80
to ga per cent. less than is present in
normal air. The oxygen in the air
in the shaft of the we'll amounted to
no more than SO to 80 per cent,
and other experiments confirmed the
conclusion that the air in the store
room was ordinary air containing less
than it's proper proportion of oxygen,
owing to admixture of air deprived
of its oxygen, which issued from the
we'll shaft. The source of the i'm
pcverished air from the well was fin
ally traced to tunneling operations
close by, in which compressed air was
being used. The air must have found
its way through the soil wherever it

Appearances indicate that in some
parts of the state, at least, the Colby
ties are not going to be driven pell-
nell out of the republican party, not
withstanding the insistment of some
leaders and papers that all reformers
must submissively beg forgiveness be-
fore they are recognized as members
of the party. In the republican con-
g%ressional convention in the Fifth
district it was a Colbyite who made
the speech nominating Congressman
Fowler for the seventh term. In the
Third district, on Wednesday last, a
Colbyite seconded the nomination Of

the shaft OF the well, and on its pass
age through the soil must have been
deprived of part of it's oxygen by con-
tact with some substance such as Ply
rites. Evidence in support of the cor
rectness of this conclusion was furn-
ished by the analysis of the mud from
another we'll shaft near the first.
This mud was found to contain py-
rites, and air left in contact with it
for some weeks was deprived of al
most the whole of its oxygen.

just as they were during the primary
campaign, these two men are the only
ones who have openly declared before
the people that they want to be elect
ed.
1t is becoming more and more evi.
dent that the people want to express
a choice for United States senator,
and, with these two men in the field
they will vote for the republican can
didates for the state legislature il
they want Senator Dryden returned
to Washington or will vote for the
democratic candidates if they want
Col. Stevens elected, just as they vot-
ed for the regulars" or Colbyites in
choosing between Dryden and Rec
ord.
The opportunity to vote for a Unit.
ed States senator indirectly has been
thrust upon the voters this year and
they are not going to lose 1t. If nc
other man declares himself a candi-
date the issue is going to sift down to
a choice between Dryden and Stew
ems for the high Office they seek and
other issues are going to play a sec
ondary part.
Woodrow Wilson has already
declined and if Grover Cleveland is
to be a candidate it is time for him
to declare himself and let the people
know where he stands for the demo

eft by the mere mention OF
names.
1t is Dryden or Stevens at pres.
ent, and of these two, Dryden has a
decided advantage just as he did in
the primary contest, having the well
organized and perfectly working re.
publican machine all over the state
working in hts behalf. The republic
cans have an enormous majority il

foundation Senator Dryden has only
to gain a fair majority of the ca di
dates to be elected to win over. Stew

Gratis must sweep the state in order
for Stevens to be successful.
1t Is entirely in the hands of the
people. If they want Stevens to Sc
to Washington they will send only
democrats to Trenton. Stevens is
comparatively little known, however
and unless his present stumping tour
develops a great deal of sentiment in
his favor, which does not seem prob
able, Dryden will be the next United
States senator from New Jersey.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10.
THE LEADING ISSUE.

Early in the campaign preceding
the primaries it became evident that
the United States ~senatorship was to
play an important part in this falls
election. This was brought about BY
the action of Senator Colby pledging
his vote TO George l.. Record for the
Office and the announcement of M.
Record that he would stump the state
in his own behalf. 1t was pointed
out that as the people could not have
a direct voice in selecting a United
States senator, they should at least
know who the different candidates
would vote for if nominated and
elected. The voters were told that
for the first time in the history of the
state they were to be given a chance
to show their preference. Hereto
fore the election of a United States
senator has never figured in a state
campaign, that matter being left for
the legislature after it had been cleo
ted.
Only two candidates appeared in
the field on the republican side before
the primaries. These were John f.
s Dryden, who announced himself Il
candidate to succeed himself, and
George L. Record, who was one Of
the big three in the Colby movement.
These two men came out before the
gIeople and frankly said they wanted
the office. This was as it should be
and the people accepted the issue.
in a large measure, as a choice be-
tween Dryden and Record. The vot-
ers wanted a chance to express theit
opinion on the United States senator
nip and it came to be understood be-
fore the primaries that a vote Tor the
"regulars" meant a vote for Dryden
and a vote for the Colbyites meant a
vote for Record. Although the new
idea" candidates declared they were
not pledged to Record, the fact that
he was the only announced candidate
and taking such a prominent part in
the movement was sufficient for the
people to decide.
The primary election showed clear
ly that the majority of voters did not
want Record and as a choice between
him and Dryden they preferred the
latter.
The primaries over. the next step
is the election. The people are still
determined to have a say in the
choice of United States senator, Thus
far but two men have declared them
selves candidates for the Office. These
are Senator John +. Dryden, of New
ark, and Colonel Edwin A. Stevens.
OF Castle Point, Hoboken. While
other names are heard mentioned.

DURATION OF MGHTNING.'

We possess as yet only pretty
vague data as to the average duration
of flashes of lightning, says ILLUS
tration. Faraday thought he could
fix it at a second. Dufour claimed
that the flashes of lightning We're in
Simultaneous and that their rapid sue
cession gave the illusion OF one flash
of a certain duration. Herr Schmidt
has just been devoting himself to a
series of observation, employing a
disk of ten centimetres diameter
bearing upon a black ground a white
cross, the arms of which were two
millimetres across, the disk being set
in motion by clockwork with a speed
of so to 60 revolutions a second. At
certain flashes the cross appeared a
single time very distinct; the dura-
ton of lightning was, therefore, in
ferior to the time of revolution of the
disc, which would represent about the
fiftieth of a second. In more num-
erous cases the cross appeared two or
three times, or even more, but with
a decreasing luminous intensity. The
lightning had, therefore, last during
several revolutions of the disc.
