81 DONALD a. CRAIG.

December %, 1S60.-From recent de-
velopments at the Capitol it appears
that the country can no longer look
to Congress for any solution whatever
Of the difficulties between the Northern
States and cotton States, which have
resulted from the election of Abraham
Lincoln as President of the United
States.
The Republican members of the SEN
ate'S special committee of thirteen are
apparently still determined that, as far as
they are concerned, not hairs breadth
shall be yielded toward a settlement Of
the present sectional difficulties with
out civil war. A majority of the COM
mittees seem to stand ready to report
the plan of Senator Crittenden of
Kentucky as the basis for a proposed
settlement. These are the Democrats
of every shade on the committee, in
Guiding Senators Jefferson Davis of
Mississippi, ToombS of Georgia and
Douglas of Illinois, and all the rast of
the committee members, with the ex-
ception of the Republicans.
The Republicans, one and all, adhere
to the views of Senator Wade of Ohio,
as announced in his recent speech.
That speech was in favor Of coercion of
the slave-holding States to prevent
their secession from the Union. The
Republican members Of the committee
of thirteen have APPARENTLY laid down the
doctrine enunciated by Senator Wade
as their policy.
Yet there are many persons who do
not believe that an attempt at coercion
will be made by the Federal Govern
ment at any time, and certainly not
during the remainder of the admins
tration of President Buchanan.
BY March 4. when Mr.. Lincoln will
be inaugurated as President, it seems
certain that the cotton States will have
declared their independence of the Fed
eral Government and that the other
Southern States will have assembled
conventions to determine their course in
the great national emergency.
II the Federal Government should
attempt coercion in the meantime, the
border slave-holding States, Like Viz
ginia, being thus compelled to draw the
sword on one side or the other, will
doubtless draw it for their brethren in
the South.
Some politicians here believe that
Mr.. Lincoln, on being inaugurated, will
appreciate that he is powerleSs to
coerce and that to essay that policy
would instantly obliterate the Republic
an party. The persons who take this
view do not fear the dreaded civil war.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y. July IS
The first commercial use for the famous
cathode ray of the Coolidge tube has
been found.
Imitation Sapphires are unmasked by
the ray almost instantly and so thor
oughly that they can be spotted after
ward-even in total darkness.
The stones, both imitation and real
are exposed for few seconds to the
powerful ray. All the limitations and all
but one kind of genuine stone glow as
If molten. But as soon as the ray is
shut off the real sapphires lose the
artificial glow, while the limitations con-
tinue for some time to resemble live
Goals. This molten appearance has no
relation to heat, for the seemingly burn
ing limitations are cold to the touch.
Determines Gems Source.
In addition to sorting stones. the
ray can be used to determine where
both natural and artificial gems come
from.
Should sapphires from Montana be
mixed with stones that were supposed
to come from Australia" said D. w.
st. Clair of the General Electric Co. S
standardizing laboratory. I'VE could find
this out with the cathode rays. In the
case of artificial stones we can deter
mine which factory made them by the
different hue of the glow while the
rays are on.
I'VE have one particular kind of gen.
uine sapphire which does not glow at
all. In this case the lack Of glow imme-
diately tells us the origin"
Others Are Experimenting.
Though no other application of the
rays has been announced. numerous
scientists are experimenting in uni
versities and elsewhere. DR.. D. w.
Coolidge of the General Electric lab
oratories. who developed the tube. is
seeking rays from still higher power
two or three million volts. His first
tube, announced two years ago, uses
$4,000 volts. Later, by cascading ar
rangement of tubes, he obtained rays
of 100000 volts. He seeks maximum
power in order to give experimenters a
wide range in studying the remarkable
effects of the ray.
An unusual kind Of photography is
possible with the rays. They record
some of the invisible, below-the surface
portions Of thin tissues laid upon pho
tograpfic plates. DR.. Coolidge suggests
that same structures neither visible by
ordinary light nor by X-ray, might be
shown by using the cathode ray.
