oyster Culture and Race Tracks

Oyster legislation has been the storm
centre in the General Assembly at Annap-
oils for several days. and the tide-water
interests. by trades, ,sickefs, and the en-
ployment of every means but that Of
craftsmanship, is determined TO repeal
the Haman oyster culture law, and kill
one of the States greatest industries.
The anti-oyster culturists won a ma
iority of the Baltimore city delegation to
their cause last week. by the offer, it is
charged, to support a number of the
measures wanted most by Baltimore,
notably the mass vote" and ST., 900, ,ooo
for the Light street bridge.
If this be trne, as appearances would
indicate, it is only further exhibition OF
the selfish policy that has ever been the
dominating feature of Maryland's me
tropolis, Baltimore first, and the State
afterward. And it is this determination
of Baltimore to rule or ruin in things leg
islative, that has heretofore impelled the
counties TO line up almost solidly against
the city. and save the State, when the
Baltimore ring has attempted to put some
pet scheme over on the people, at it is
the purpose to do at this time.

of The committee. disgraced bis party by
breaking the Republican party pledge
with regard to woman suffrage.
He was sharply rebuked later by Mr.
Posey, the Republican floor leader, who
called upon the Republican members tc
redeem their party's honor. The Repub
licans made splendid record for Their
party, for almost without Exception they
voted in favor of the amendment. The
Democrats, on the other hand, went con
clusively on record as opposing the righ'
of the voters to rule. and several Dele
gates who pledged themselves to support
the bill before election went deliberately
back on their word. Mr.. Cummings OF
Montgomery was the only member Of the
House who made speech against woman
suffrage. and it will be remembered that
Mr.. Cummings stated to his constituents
that be would vote in favor of the bill
before election.
After considerable discussion the vote
on the mot on to table was called for and
the result of that vote was AZ to "a.
Vote on the motion to substitute the bill
for the report--34 in favor. 60 opposed.
A considerable number of the Delegates
who voted for the suffrage measure on
the first vote changed their vote the sec
Houd time. A great deal of hard work
was done during the intervals between
ths voting on the floor of the House.
The liquor interests were thoroughly
frightened when they saw that the suf.
frage bill bad a majority on the vote. and
the Democrats from the First District and
the Speaker of the House were quickly
dri en- into line. A more glaring in
stance of the power ofthe corrupt Demo
cratic ring will probably not be given

ELECTRIFIED CELLULOID.
Pulling Couple Of Strips Between the
Fingers Changes Them.

FINGERS Cnau9eS tnems
II you will take two thin lengths of
celluloid, put them In contact and then
suddenly and rapidly pull them be-
tween your fingers you will observe
they both have become electrified
only on their outside surfaces. where
the friction of your fingers caused a
negative elecfritication, but also on the
inner surface of the celluloid.
The strange part about this is that
one of the inner surfaces of the piece
is positively charged and the other one
is negatively charged II one Of them
is slightly curved during the friction
the convex one will be positively
charged and the concave sided one will
be negatively charged
1t seems, therefore, to depend upon
whether the surface is concave or
whether it is convex-depressed or ex.
panded-to produce negative or posi-
tive electricity. Even the most minute,
imperceptible curvature is sufficient to
give the expected result 1t also is inn
possible to pull the strips of celluloid
through the fingers without producing
such strong electrifcation that one
piece will support the other.
Even the vapor pressure Of liquids is
stronger at the convex surface than at
the concave. II electrons are consid.
cred as particles of gas dissolved in
solids-as they once were-or as mega
tive electricity. there will be greater
tendency for the electrons to escape
from the convex side. which therefore
will be left positively charged. This
also is in perfect accord with the latest
researches upon electrons.

Slaughter Houses.

staring silently. Uck-G -Gluck's kooner or

arms, grinning broadly and cheerfully
at us.
The room was about eighteen feet
In diameter and was a veritable sham

Masses Of flesh lay strewn all about
the floor. There seemed apparently to
be no effort or desire to keep it in
one or two piles. 1t lay everywhere.
There was the whole carcass of
walrus, cut up and strewn about, and
almost directly at the head Of the
raised platform of ice which formed
a bed for the whole family there was a.
great pile of entrails, preserved for.

spattered with blood. and weapons Of

A large quantity of meat, killed earlier
in the season, had arrived at the age
and stage where it possessed very
bad odor. This was not for the dogs.

fed them the fresh meat before they
would have sacrificed this particular

that in return for the honor the white

AS we had come to hunt. and as Uck-
Gluck was noted all along the coast for
his prowess. this was highly satisfac-

and we began at once to prepare our
supper, as we had eaten nothing but
frozen meat since morning. We fried
our own deer meat, heated a number
