All admitted the ruins wer plainly visible, when he changed to the op- r of the wheel, and aftera spi made to counteract the of te of an impinging current that i i from her course he continued:

of them were pitching quoitsand others shocting at a mark when we ‘irst land- ed. but they quit when they saw the man carry the mail bag we bad brought and went in and stood around waiting for the letters te be sorted. Chey had ali been drinking and were pretty noisy. When the postmaster said there were only two lettersand that they were both for Bud Johnson, a colored man, a murmur of disapproval went around, and several of them insisted ona new deal.

‘* You can look for yourse! vee,’ eaid the postmaster, tossing them the bag, but after searching and findiny it empty they were in a worse frame of mind than ever. Presently one of the num- ber, a local politician, got up and made a speech derogatory to the a\iministra tion. He insisted that the government was prejudiced against white folks, and that be had no use for the office any- how. Several of the others present ex- pressed their approval of this senti- ment, and a general smashing up of ev erything at once followed. During the yow the coal oil lamp was broken, the house set on fire and everything burned

Up.

“Colone! B the property. noticing the fire, came uf from his plantation below and de- nounced the perpetrators of the outrage as vandals. The colonel wae a high spirited man and didn’t stand any fool- ishness, but was getting along in years now and couldn’t do much but talk, sc that when one of the men declared he could whip any Buych on earth. he looked like he felt himself °n a pretty close place, but the colonel stood his ground until] at last, when the contend- ing parties were about tocome to blows, his son appeared upon the scene, and, earning the cause of the trou le, sprang between the two, and, drawing his re- volver, said, ‘My name is Banch, and when my father gets to be too eld tc defend himself I can stand ip his tracks and take bis part.’

“At this juncture the shooting com-

We wanted te leave, but the men were afraid to go on shore to untie the lines, for the infuri- ated crowd was still calling for more Bunches and the colored man who had 8% the letters, but be had climbed a ee, and they didn't know where he Was.

ELECTRICITY AND THE COMPASS

—_———

How the Magnetic Needle

is Affected

SOMETIMES RENDERED USELESS — A CURIOUS DISCOVERY

The Compass Very Often Not to be

Depended on.

A Val Althoug! }

= +r) ‘ I int ann 1 Uae invention ana introauc-

tion of the trolley tystem of street rail- |

ways have been of inestimable value to civilization it has incidentally wrought tome harm here and there. Emphasis was laid on one of these drawbacks to

electric traction in the address delivered by Prof r A. W. Rucker at a recent ‘ i : 4% lat

the Advancement of Science.

in varioms parts of the world observa- tories have been established for the pur- pose of keeping track of the changes in the direction in which the magnetic

needle points. It was long ago discov- ered not only that the compass does not

aim directly at the north pole, but that tx uns of vari®tion in its indica n true north undergoes s]

alterations. Hence it is necessary to make fresh charts, showing the varia- tion for different parts of the globe every few years. Butin order to get the data for corrections—of the highest importance to the surveyor and mariner—it is requisite that careful ob- servations be made continuously at @ number of widely separated points.

Two of the most famous and hitherte useful institutions of this class are situ- ated in Washington, in the grounds a the naval observatory and in Toronto. The interference of the electric currents that cun through the earth and the track of trolley lines which have been constructed near these observatories in- terfere so much with the bebavior of the instruments of both places that the records now obtained are practically worthless. And the experts are greatly puzzled by the problem of escaping from this vexatious interruption of their work.

So delicate are the influences which the magnets in such an observatory arc intended to investigate that they can tbe perceived only when the apparatus it most serupulously guardcd. The room in which they are mounted is under- ground. Visitors are never admitted ex- cept under unusual circumstances and are required to deposit their jackknives, keys and all other metallic objects about their persons before entering the apart- ment. The magnets, generally bars of steel not over cix inches long, are poised above a scale that is graduated to the most minute fractions, and a telescope, onan adjacent pillar, is’ used to read the fluctuations, which are teo small to be discernible by the unassisted eye. A tiny mirror, as big as a dime, catches '# beam of light more elender than the lead in a pencil and reflects it away tc a sheet of slowly moving photographic paper, on which a permanent record # made. The arrangement of the apparatut is ench that the movement cf the mag- net is magnified many times in the reo- ord, im order to render the changes pet- ceptible.

There are three sets of instrumente on duty in such an observatory. Oné swings horizontally, like a mariner’s compass. Another dips up and down. A third is designed to measure the in- tensity of the earth’s magnetism, which is a eeparate thing from the directios in which it acts. And so sensitive are they that their readings are apt to be interfered with by exceedingly trivial causes. It is customary for the superin tendent to inscribe on the scroll ‘‘ Visit- ors admitted,’’ whenever such a breacl of the regulations is permitted, so that if any abnormal fiuetuation is detected in the motion of the magnets a suspicion of its meaning will be excited in the mind of the scientist who afterward ex- amines the photographic trace.

In spite of the delicacy of the appa ratus, it may seem surprising to the lay mind that the passage of trolley cur- rents at a distance of many rods from the observatory should be abie to affect the instruments within. But tbey do, and it is impossible to separate in the record the variations produced by genu- ine changes in terrestrial magnetism from those which are caused by the trolley. Professor Rucker said a few days ago: ‘‘From all parts of the world we hear of observatories ruined o1 threatened by the invasion of the elec- trical engineer. Toronto and Washing- ton have already succumbed, Potsdam, Parc St. Maur, Greenwich and Kew aré besieged, and the issue largely dependt upon whether these great national ob- servatories can or cannot make good their defense.”

Although the practical service t¢ mankind which is rendered by institu- tions of this class is alone sufficient t¢ justify their maintenance and to war: rant alarm as to their future, there are¢ otber questions involved which possest profound interest for the philosopher. We know that the earth is a magnet, but as yet no one is able to say whal

Mr, R Morrow Cured of Lumbago Dodd's Pills ™

Toronto, Nov 28.—Tae vast majority fTorontonians know and esteem Mr. R Morrow, the able and popular agent for the Toronto Auer Light Co.

For this reason the following statement made in writirg by Mr. Morrow, possesses unusual s:gnificance.

“Two years ago | was attacked by Lum~ oago aud Urinary trouble which caused intense suffering,I tock several differ- ent remedies without any beneili. Then I began using Dodd’s Kidney Piils, and was completely cured by them.”

Lumbago is unusually prevalent this fa'l. All sufferers should know that Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the only known cure tor
