AN IMPLOSION

Every one knows what an ex.
plosion is, but its opposite, an
Implosion is less familiar. Az
great depths in the SEQ the con.
ditions are favorable for its
production AT $500 fathoms
the pressure is, roughly speak
ing, two and a half tons to the
square inch-that is to say sew
eral times greater than the
pressure exerted by the steam
upon the piston of a powerful
engine.
An interesting experiment 10

this deep sea pressure was
made on the Albatross, ga gov
ernment vessel engaged in deep
sea exploration.
An interesting experiment. TO
illustrate the enormous force
OF this deep sea pressure was
made on the deep sea explora-
tion.
A thick glass tube several in
ches IN length full of. air was
hesmetically sealed at both

and placed in one of the wide
copper cylinders used to protect

access inside, around the class
The case was then sent down 10
a debt of 1900 faihoms and
drawn up again.
lt was found that the c,lin.
der was bulged and bent in
ward, just as if it had been
crumbled inward BY being vio-
lentiy squeezed. The glass tube
itself, within it's flannel wrap
per, was reduced 10 fine pow
der, almost like snow. The
glass tube, it would seem, as il
slowly descended held out long
against the pressure, but at last
suddenly gave way and was
crushed by the violence of the
action to fine powder.
This process. exactly the re-
verse of an explosion, is termed
an implosion.-Chicago Record

WHY NOT SUPPORT SLEMp?

disloyal TO the Democratic par.
". We are no more so than
any supporter of Bailey. for
Bailey has in his speeches re
hearsed his long and continued
10y atty to the Republican party.
We can imagine a case where
a Democrat might with some
sense and show of reason be
called disloyaL Had Mr.. Bailey
been endorsed by the Bristol
convention. and were he run
ming as an Independent. then
there might be some excuse for
challenging the Democracy of
"a Democrat who refuses TO sun
port him. But this is not the
g. 'c by any means. Mr Bailey
? Hseif says God knows /
aid not be anything bat "a
i.epublican If were TO try. !
am now, and always expect to
remain "A Republican" " WHY
he is not even an Independent
Now how is 10 that he is entitled
to Democratic support over
Slemp?
The criticism of Democrats
for supporting Slemp applies
with equal force to the support
ers of Bailey To bring the
question down TO it's logical
conclusion then. Democrats. in
order TO be regular, should not
vote at all, and tnis is the arou-
ment 0d a5sarium. Ii is one of
the very highest duties of citi-
zenship 20 exercise the right of /
suffrage, and IN exercising that /
right man is only doing his (
duty as patriot and as a man. /
In choosing between the two /
Republican candidates tn q I
Democratic voter is performing
one Of the very highest duties
OF citizenship.
The argument Of these critics
is untenable from any stand I
point, and as we said above. a
Democrat can vote. and should
vote for one or the other of the
candidates, aud in voting for
'iemp he IS in every sense lust
as good a Democrat as the man
who votes for Bailey.
There is no occasion for Dem.
'crats to break their necks in
'oting for Bailey for he is iust
Is much a Republican as is
'lemp. He claims to be moth. ,
ng else. ,
General Ayers has a right To I
hoose between them. and So !
las every other Democrat in q
he District, and the question {
4 Democracy has nothing 2
arthiy TO do with the case He Z
; just as loyal as any Bailey ]
Importer. He can advocate
he election of either the one or I
ne other, and no man can chal-
'nge ms Democracy in so do
lg. We have heard much talk
5 to why Democrats should
lpport Mr., Bailey, but what il
e want is one clean cut reason il
by they should. +
As we view the matter it is a d
lestion of choice between two c
epublicans. A Democrat can Il
ivocate and vote for the cleo v
on OF either the one or the Il
her; and an advocate or sup- ii
'rter of one is no less a Demo cl
at than an advocate or sup p
'rter of the other. v,

CRYING BABY
 IN EMPTY HOUSE

A girl baby, colored, was found Friday afternoon in an empty house on South Olive street, near Forest Park, by Mrs. Ben Beard, who hap pened to be driving by in her bug gy. Hearing the cries of baby in house, which she knew to be vacant, she made an investigation and discovered the screaming infant The child appears to have had no nourishment for some time, and is about weeks old. The child was neatly dressed and no clew as to it's parents can be found. A police man was called and the child was taken to the police station, where it was placed in the keeping of the janitress.
