FIFTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY

The following from the Oban,
Scotland, Times, will be of much in
terest of many OF our readers:
There is living today at Kyleakin
in Captain Nicholson the only Scots
man who was one of the crew of the
historic Alabama, up to the night
preceding the day she was destroy
ed by the Kearsarge off Cherbourg,
France, ON June 18th, 1864. The
story of the Alabama is one OF the
most exciting episodes of the Amer
lean civil war. The Alabama was a
wooden screw steam vessel built at
Birkenhead in 1852 for the Confed-
crates The British government was
so slow in acting upon the informa-
tion of the. American ambassador
that the vessel left on the day fixed
for her seizure, proceeded to the
Azores, took on guns, ammunition
and stores, received her commander,
Captain Semmes on board, and was
christened the Alabama. Up to that
time the vessel was simply known
by the number 1890" After these
preliminaries she entered upon heI
startling career of capturing and
burning American ships h all parts
of the world. For two years the
Alabama continued her destructive
tactics. 1t was maintained by the
Americans that their losses by the
Alabama we're due to British negli-
gence, and the dispute was finally
settled by arbitration in 1872, when
a sum amounting to three and a hall
million sterling was awarded fol
damages done by the Alabama and
two other privateer ships. Captain

The Star thinks it would promote
political harmony as we'll as expe-
dite business to make all primary
nomin ations by plurality, and cut
out second choice and second pri-
mary This method would be as
fair as any and save the people much
trouble. We have approximately
1000 democratic votes in Marion
county. If, in the next primary
there are three candidates for sher-
i'll, one receives 500 votes, one 700
and one 500, it will come nearer ex-
pressing the will of the people to
give the nomination to the high man
than to have a second primary in
which the friends of. the low man
will hold the balance of power. 1t
will also save a lot of trouble and
expense. AS for the second choice,
our recent election shows that it
isn't going to be used enough to de-
eide any contest.

Opponents of government owner
ship in this country point to the in
ferior communications given by
state-owned railroads in France and
Italy as a sample of what we will
have to expect if we ever turn the
control of our roads over to public
MANAGEMENT They needn't fret.
Private or public, we will manage
roads in this country in the Ameri-
can and not in the European way.
The opponents of government own
ership, however, refrain from quot
ing the exceedingly well managed
state-owned roads of Germany. Some
of our own people who have travel
ed in Germany praise the speed and
comfort of the German trains, and
German freight and passenger rates
are much lower than those not only
of this high-priced country, but OF
England, where conditions are more
nearly equal and the transportation
| lines do not belong to the state.

That Is What Permits a Needle to
Float Upon Water.
A steel needle laid carefully on a
still water surface will float. although
the weight Of steel or iron is greater
than that of an equal volume of water.
Molecules Of liquids cohere. but with
a force far less than in solids or viscid
substances. But the thin needle OF
metal gently placed horizontally on
water has not quite weight enough to
break the surface tension-that is.
molecular attraction-of the water be-
low It.
Attraction OF molecules is a force
that exerts great influence in nature.
Thus this force draws particles of wa.
ter IN fogs into drops of water which
are heavy enough to fall as rain. Dew
Is formation of minute particles Of
water into drops at rest on surfaces.
The molecular attraction OF the
heavy liquid-mercury-is intense. else
this heavy liquid could not be drawn
by II into spheres or drops. Melted
lead forms into minute globes when let
fall in high shot towers.
There is a great difference in the In.
tensity of molecular attraction, as may
be observed in alcohol. gasoline. sui
phuric ether and similar lmpid liquids
and oil, sirup, glycerin and other Wis
cOus liquids.
Soap bubbles could not be blown in
alcohol or benziDe, but they form read
fly in water. And the molecules in the
thin films really attract with some
force. else the bubbles would burst be-
fore they become so large. The most
elaborate mathematics are required tC

technical jOurnals.-New York Ameri
! can,
