being destroyed by the storm They
started homeward on Saturday morn
ing under favorable weather condi-
tions and had a delightful return voy-
age
There are nineteen locks in the
Schuylkill river between Philadelphia
and Reading The launch party was do
layed in getting through these by the
high water but finally succeeded. The
launch caught on a rock once, and
later got its propeller in danger.
Dr. Burnham says the trip is a de-
lightful one, but advises all Whining.
tonians who contemplate taking it tc
look over his Schuylkill chart before

The lorimer Case.

Two features of the Lorimer case stand out prominently: l. That Lorimer. a republican. got his seat in the United States senate | through the votes of democratic members of the Illinois legislature. 2. That many of these democratic votes were bought by somebody in the interest of Lorimer.
 But it is a curious line of reason ing which leads many people to in- sist that the Lorimer case furnishes arguments in favor of the popular election of United States senators, and that in popular elections there are infallible safeguards against the corrupt use of money. Judging from the developments at Danville, the people of Illinois are quite as ready to sell their votes as are their representatives in the legis- lature.
 A wealthy candidate, such as Lori mer. would have little more trouble in buying the people of Illinois. it would seem. than in buying their legislature. The scheme of buying a popular election would simply call for wider field of operation and more attention to the working parts of a machine constructed for the popular election.
 There are many strong arguments in favor of the popular election of United States senators. but the Lori mer case affords none.
 And other states in addition to Illinois could be cited in which men of wealth have gone straight to the people" and got elected by the use of money Oregon. for example. Jonathan Bourne. touted here in Ari- zona and elsewhere as a sort of tin divinity by reformers. has. according to reliable citizens of oregon. done more with his great wealth to de- bauch the politics of that state than any other man or group of men that could be named.

 When the likker surged within him and we couldn't hold him down. We hired famous gunmen, who vowed that they would stay. But their usual term of office was a fraction of a day; For Steve d come lopin' when he heard of victim new. And the marshal d shuck his badges and d skip the tra-la-loo We was sore and plum disgusted. and we advertised in vain For scrapper who was equal to this son of war and pain: But we couldn't find nobody who would stand and take and give When Six Gun Steve served notice he would make such gent a sieve. But at last we made Steve marshal. and he swelled up with delight. And he wounded six companions on his first official night; He held the job down proper and he showed himself true blue Which proved to us. past doubtin'. what a little trust will do.

DIET OF CENTENARIANS.

"Cornaro. the famous Italian nono- genarian. lived during the last twenty years of his life on diet largely con sisting of a little wine. course bread. macaroni and cheese. enjoyed twice a day Emmanuel Swedenborg. the great Swedish philosopher, scientist and seer. whose writings will continue to illuminate minds of ever increasing numbers of devotees. and who died a nonogenarian. subsisted almost ex- clusively during his last two decades on a mixture of milk and weak cof- fee. enjoyed together with dried wheat buns (rusks). Thomas Edison, pr Kellogg. Alfred Wallace. while non vegetarians. eat seldom but once or twice a day. and very simple meals
 "A couple of years ago I met at Long Beach. Cal. an old man who. at the age of 95 years. was as vigorous as a man of 50 and in full possession of all his faculties and senses. For twenty years his dietary had consisted of baken onions and pumpernkel with now an dthe na meal of baked ap- pies or dried beef. However. no spe- cific rules other than that of sim plicity can be traced in the habits and customs of those who inherit the kingdom of earth.
 They may find their elixir of life on a diet of oatmeal and sweet milk. as in Scotland; on baked potatoes and salt. as in Ireland: on black bread. sauer kraut and small beer. as on the Rhine: sour milk and barley cake, as in Bulgaria: white bread and black wine. as in southern France; macaroni and cheese. as in Italy: rye bread.

Carnegie that his giant telescope will be of material use to them They seem to be of the Opin- ion that the magnifying power of telescopes has been carried to the final point of utility-that greater magnifying power introduces compli cations which offset the advantages of a big lens-and that if the pro posed giant telescope is installed it will bring the heayenly worlds no closer for accurate observation. But let us hope that the astronomers are mistaken. and that the ironmaster's for the great Mount Wilson telescope will not prove use less
