securing legislation for the abolition
Of toll charges on the Delaware and
Raritan Canal. Captain W. c. Clark. of
Constantia, Oswego. N. Y, stopped IN

this canal and the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal are the key 70 tina
whole inland waterways problem. He
said he was going TO see Governor

ing the canal OF tolls.
Captain Clark declared that traffic
on the canal had been hampered by
the railroads and the only solution TO
the waterways situation was State
control Of such canals. BY enlarging
the locks of the Delaware and Raritan
that canal could accommodate the
heaviest traffic, the captain said, ana

pressure to bear upon their class OF pa

man for office, he at once becomes a
map of distinction, a man OF ability

looking. And they have somebody Tor

their candidates for all the judgesh1ps,
for the cabinet and for the presidency.
They are lust now laying their plans to
CAPTURE the Democratic National Con-
yention and nominate a candidate VINO
will be satisfactory to the Wall street
interests. If they find that the pro-
sressive sentiment is too strong to be
entirely ignored, they will take some one
who has been progressive enough to tur-
nish them something to talk about but
not progressive enough to brighten the
interests.
The Democratic party seems ready tC
come into IFS own. After a long fight
the progressive policies which aroused
the opposition of all the predatory IN
terests in 1896 are becoming the >ac-
cepted policies of the country, but the
interests will do their best to nominate
a candidate who is not in sympathy with
them and who tried to Tetard their pro-

SCIENCE NOTES.

For more than Is years these bulle-
tins have been discussing the physical
forces, the causes that induce their va
riations, their relations to our sun, the
planets, the earth, Our weather, vege
table and animal life During that quar-
ter of century Father Ricard, Dr.. \.
T. Atkins and Prof Luther Burbank
have come into prominence as expert
scientists, each dealing with these same
physical forces but in separate depart
ments.
Father Ricard, being director Of The
Astronomical and Meteorological OBJ
servatory at Santa Clara near San Fran
cisco, is the leading sunspot observer OF
the world and has discovered the rela-
lions between sunspots and the weather
of the Pacific coast.
DIR. Atkins has found the relations of
these physical forces to animal li[e and
is the leading lecturer at the medical
colleges of San Francisco. He has writ
ten book, not yet published, that mis-:
cause a sensation in scientific circles,
particularly in medical societies. hope
he will have the book published.
Prof. Luther Burbank has caught the
spirit of these same physical forces in
their relations to vegetable life and the
world knows of his wonderful achieve
ments.
These four Investigators cover the
whole dofain of nature and their work
| is unity. All truths must agree with
each other and with the whole, Foster,
Ricard, Atkins and Burbank can not dis
agree because electromagnetic is the

pal feature of the period covered by
these disturbances will be a great rise in
temperatures but includes very cool fol-
lowing the first disturbance Another
feature of interest will be the period OF
severe storms April IS to TO- Rainfall
will be generally deficient and only a
few locations will get moisture.
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about April IA, cross the
Pacific slope by close of IS, great cen
trail valleys I6 to IS, eastern sections 70
Warm wave will cross the Pacific slope

ating temperatures will gradually go to-
ward lower degrees for the next ter
days Force of the storms will be radi
cal becoming most severe soon after the
top of the warm wave shall have passed
The weather will then become moderate
and mild as it grows cooler.
l am expecting dry weather to i'll
crease except on the Gulf of Mexico, the
south Atlantic cost and Cuba, where eX
cessive rains will prevail. Some alarm
about drouth is probable, particularly
east of meridian 90 in northern state

am also expecting dry weather in Can

weather will probably not do much harm

THE MAINE AND ENGINEERING
SKILL

The Havana newspapers, says the New
Orleans States, have changed their tone
with respect to the raising of the wreck
of the battleship Maine, and now concur
in the opinion of the American en-
gineers that the hulk will be out of the
water by the middle of May A few
months ago these Cuban papers, and
particularly those published under Span
ish influence, were doubtful of the sim
cerity of the United States government
in its efforts to raise the wreck of the
Inflated ship, and intimated that the
charge that the Maine was blown up
from the outside would never be put to
the proof.
According to the reports received at
Washington from the army engineers III
charge of the undertaking in Havana
harbor, the work of filling the twenty
caissons forming the walled structure OF
steel piles, has begun. To form the en-
closure more than 5000 piles Is feet IN
length were required, and when all is in
readiness to pump out the water and
bring the hulk of the ship into view rep
resentatives of the government will be
invited to witness the operation.
What shall be done with the Maine
after the wreck has been raised is mat
ter to be determined by Congress, which
decided to defer action on that point TN
til thre was no longer any doubt about
the success of the work, but the conf
dent reports of the engineers indicate
that the present extra session will be
askd to say what disposition is to be
made of the hulk
