SCIEN TIFIC

Zeppelin's Twelve Hour Flight.
Twice during the week has Count
Zeppelin demonstrated the power and
air navigating quality Of his big air
ship in voyages over Lake Constance.
The second time he with a crew Of
fourteen men, sailed continuously for
twelve hours at an average speed OF
thirty-four miles an hour and passed
over most of northern Switzerland. At
all times the ship was under perfect
control, turning, rising, descending at
will and sailing either with or against
the wind The distance covered was
225 miles, aad the greatest altitude at
tanned was $500 feet The next test
OF the ship was to De hight or tWeA-
ty-four hours.
In an address before the Society Of
German Engineers at Dresden Count
Zeppelin said that the basis of all his
efforts to solve the problem Of air navi-
cation was his observation that the re-
sistance of air to a moving body de-
creased in proportion to the surface 60
ing against the air; hence bodies Of
great size must be made use Of. He
denied the statement frequently made
that his ship would never be able to
alight on the ground, saying that land
ing stages could be constructed with
little difficulty. He said his work was
only a beginning and he proposed to
found an institution to study the SUBJ
ject.
Silk For Gas Nantes.
The Literary Digest quotes an au-
thortty in Cosmos to the effect that
method has been found to make much
stronger and more durable gas mantle
by using an artificial silk as the fabric
on which the oxides are deposited. This
silk is made by the dissolution of cell
luiose in ammoniate of copper.

LEGAL-CRIMINAL
Recount Verdict Against Hearst.

Recount Verdict Against Hearst.
Under instruction from the Judge the
jury which has been conducting the re-
count of the New York mayOralty vote
in 1905 On the appeal of W. r. Hearst
has returned a verdict sustaining the
election Of Mayor Mcclellan. his legal
plurality being reduced to 2,a6S. Coun-
sea for Hearst had tried to show that
the boxes in certain districts had been
stuffed and made a motion for a new
trial, but this was denied. The legal
expenses of this remarkable contest
have been enormous. Hearst is said to
have spent over 100000, and the may
or says that his costs amount to S4O,-
900.
Hearst acquiesced in the final de-
cision although maintaining that if
the stuffed boxes were thrown out he
would have been elected. In cabled
message from London he said he had
made the long and costly fight not to
make himself mayor, but to secure an
honest count, and that precedent had
been made which would prevent cleo
ton thieves from hiding behind the
barrier Of the law in future.
Thaw Seeking Jury Test.
Pending action on his appeal for
jury trial to determine his sanity,
Harry Thaw, the slayer of Stanford
White, was remanded to Jail at Pough-

was still a dangerous person suffer
ing from the form of insanity known
as maniac-depressiye. with recurrent
moods, in which he might commit vio-
lent acts.

Democratic Convention On.

Democratic Convention On.
The big quadrenntal gathering Of the
Democratic clans is about to open in
the immense new convention hall at
Denver as this summary closes. In
many respects the situation is similar
to that which the Republicans expert
enced on the eve Of their national con-
vention at Chicago. Bryan appears to
be as much in control at Denver as was
Roosevelt at Chicago. Nearly all CORE
spondents on the scene say that Bry-
ans nomination is conceded, although
the conservative allies keep up show
Of fight. Under the lead Of Judge Par
ker Of New York and other eastern
Democrats a strong memorial resolu-
ton to Grover Cleveland, commencing
policies opposed by Bryan, raised the
direct Issue Of platform principle at the
outset, but Bryan's friends expect to
pass a Cleveland resolution of their
own, and the platform is expected to
contain an Injunction plank radical
enough to suit Gompers. Bryan is dis
posed to seek party harmony by offer
ing the second place On the ticket to an
eastern conservative. and Gray of Della
ware was favorite, but he issued
statement saying that he had not con-
scented to stand for either the first or
second place.

LEGAL Option In Tennessee.
r Incomplete returns Of the Tennessee
Democratic primaries indicated the
nomination of Patterson for governor
by safe majority over Carmack, and
this meant victory for local or county
option as opposed to state wide pro-
hibitton. However, Patterson ON the
stump had promised that If the plat
form called for prohibition and the leg

sign it. One notable feature Of the
contest was the defeat of Congressman
Gaines by J. w. Byrnes, a Nashville

Amnesty In Persia.
After the reactionary forces Of the
shah of Persia had obtained complete
control of the situation and more than
400 people had been killed in the street
fighting in Teheran, with the radical
parliament dispersed, the shah issued
a general proclamation Of amnesty,
granting full liberty to all persons sus-
pected of political opposition to the
government. This step was deemed
necessary to check the spirit Of revolu-
ton and restore a semblance of order
in the realm.
The shah is said to have been in
censed at the number Of liberals who
were receiving protection in the Brit
ish' legation, and guard of Cossacks
was placed about the legation while a
message of protest was sent to King
Edward. The king replied that there
had been too much severity in the re-
preston and protested against the
guard. After that the Cossacks were

Lemoine Diamond Fake.
All Europe has been laughing at the
outcome of the long contrOverted claim

When the time came for Lemoine to

diamond, as demanded by the court on
behalf Of the man who had advanced
money on the alleged secret, Lemoine

Thereupon the judge made public the

Is the same radical at heart that he
was twelve years ago and that that is
why the old Democratic leaders still
try to depose him from the leadership
secured by direct appeal to the party
membership. Bryan began bis answer
by saying that standards had been low
cred by making money the measure of

curing it. He added that t't1e cure for
the lowering Of our ideals is to raise our
ideals" He believed the tide had turn
ed in that direction. The cause Of the
lowering was the Opportunities to
make money FAST He admitted that
the man who owned the machines and
not the inventor Or the workers had
s<prodted from the rapid multiplication
of wealth" The mistake had been
made Of creating corporations without
regulating them. Considering this and
the trusts, Bryan found that s'the great
economic evil to be remedied is the I'M
equal distribution of wealth" He add
ed that the remedy must be found Gin
AN approach to equity" In determin-
ing the method Of approach he said
that It was necessary to choose be-
tween socialism and individualism, the
former proposing Ito eliminate the en-

to safeguard competition" He doubt
ed that the government could ever con-

the growth Of the trusts beyond safe

His remedies would be to knock the

Steffens concludes that all of our lead

Men Crowding Out Cattle.
One explanation advanced for the
continued rise in the price of meats is
that the big cattle ranges of the south
west have been rapidly filing up with
settlers in the last two years, with a
consequent clearing of the pastures for
cultivation. The prices for cattle on the
hoof are higher than ever In all the
larger cities the poorer people have be-
gun systematic boycotts of the butch
ers who charge the high prices. The
result is that people are eating less
meat and more fruit and vegetables
than heretofore.
