The Science of Palmistry.
Many confound palmlsttv with for
tmiu telling as meie guess work, but
Do Mai tint, who is located at "0'
Washington avunuo, Is n stilking ex
amplo of the exactness with which un
mistakable llnea can be read. This Is
explained in tho lict that palmistry
is a science und rn iks with phrenology
which has the sanction of learned men.
It seems that physiology and psycho
logy curiously blended are united by
tho nervous system, which acts as a
connectltiK' link between brain nnd
hand.

A motion to tvter tho bi Is to com
mittee prevailed, but Immediately af
teiward Mr. Roche wanted to know If
something eoulel not be done to hull
the repairs along-. He remmked that
unless public sentiment mid the tone
ol the newspapeis had changed theiu
was a gloat clamor for immediate re
Ii:iis. "In otder to determine Just how
this sentiment stands In the council,
he said, "I move that the committee
make nn Immediate' ttpott."
Mr. Sandeison and Mr. Finn both
Intel posed objections to haste) and pos
sible error, but Mr Covno supported
Mr. Roche, contending that Hit lowest
bidder could be detet mined in 11 half
hour. Air. Sandeison said Intelligent
loiihideintlon could not be given the
proposals without the aid of the cltv
engineer and Mr. Finn raised the point
of order that tlio bid", being tegulat
ly liferied, 1 ottltl not be teealleel fiom
committee nnd then ie-icfcrrcd for
immediate icpott.
Tin: motion' piij:vaili:d.
Chairman Chittenden lultd tint the
motion as tovlsed by Mr. Roche ' lu

fectly in order. The motion thus stat

Mi. Roche then muted that tho pro
posals be tefened to a special rommit
lee consisting of the piesldent, the clcy
ebrk and Mr. Sandeison, but the lit
ter declined the of Ike, and after mu h
aigumcnt Mr. Roche's futther nutlon

Mr McAndrew going oer to the ma

The latter explained that "ftoni actual
flguiiug nnd the provisions on whldi
thu proposals veto made the Barber
and Pennsylvania, companies' pioposnls
could only bo consideted, and that tho
loimer pioposal was the lower of thu
U.o."
Ptosldent Chittenden telegated tho
chair to Mr. AA'llllams and the matter
wa fought out to a finish, Mr. Finn
and Mr. O'Boylu aigtied that the speci
fications would exclude all bids not
bused on ynidage and tho latter
1 lunged Mr. Roche and Mr. Coyne with
lnllioadiiig.

Best Goods (or toast Hoiey.
Fnnderson the advertisement was read,
It showed that the proposnls should bo
"for nn equal annual sum for a period
ot ten ycats," although Mr. Finn re
new td his contention thnt the speclll
cations Indicated the yardage plan.
Mr. Rock, of the Baiber company,
aim Piesldent John iM. Shny, of the
AlenlniM compiiny. accepted Invitations
t" occupy the lloor. The former ex
plained that his company's bid was
baed on a total asphalt ynrdngo ot
Jll.onn ynrels nt R cents per yard, or
$17,020 annually. The company, he said,
bole In 111I111I tho fact Hint 20,000 yaiels
would be lu bond for from four to
eight yeius. Mr. Shay said his cotn
runy's proposal was based on Infotmn
Hun received fiom tho city engineer
that thu pioposnls should be by the
) aid.
Mr. Roche made his lew clear by
saying the Umber and I'ennsvlvanlii
bids were collect becaUBe. accotellug
to the adtcttlsement and the nrelln
ance, or, nc cording to the utile In! Invi
tation and the law, the specifications
bclni; purely subotdltiate. There was
ne. excuse for any confusion, much less
Mi In low of the fact that the Aleutian
mid McDonald bids were the hlghet
on either basis
Mr. Chittenden and Mr Finn took
OM-eptlon t the latter statement. They
contended Hint under the yardage pio
posals of IPs and 1." cents, the tost
was to be based on only the work done
on p.nemeuts out of bond, which, In
the ouo of the Alratiaz bid. would
probably bo found to be as cheap It
not cheaper than the Baiber moposal.

L'doie the Young Men's union nt Its
monthly meeting In the lireen Ridge
Piesb)tcrlan chuieh lust night.
The sun. .Air. Ueploglo vent on to
uv. Is the source of all physical pow
er manifested on tut Hi. Two fotms of
this power, the meehanleul such ns
the water-full, and the chemical, gen
elated by n steam engine, for Instance,
are pretty well understood, or rather
contt oiled, but theie Is a rctkless wast
ing of these pott eis on account of our
Ignotance of a third foim known un
der the very unfoitunntu name dec -tilclty.
AA'o are only In the supersti
tious phase of Its development. Tlio
only thing thai has been piacilcally
gained in the matter of utilizing the
power of tlie sun by this new form,
electricity, Is the conduction and ills
ttibiitlon of the forms of power here
tofoie In use, thut Is the power of the
wind, falling wittet, the steam engine,
etc.
It has been calculated that If all the
combustible mateilal on eaith "Including-
the wonderful culm piles, ucltci
tisoel by the Scranton board of tinde,"
was consumed ut the l.ito neross.iiv
to furnish the actual output of thu
heat of the sun, it would not maintain
the sun's piesent temperatuie for over
fhe tenth part of n second. It has also
been calculated that a srniato font of
surface heated te the sun's tcipeia
ture would generate enough steam to
dilte ii dozen of the laigest tians
Atluntic stenmeis men Hy on their
course
WASTING A POWER.
The sun Is wasting tills fund of pow
er through space ns fur, as we inun
d.ines me concetned.at u piodlgal
late. All this power Is convertible Into
acthe and latent foi ins. It Is allto In
the lightning It is latent In dead coal,
In the stotage battery, the Leyden Jai,
in oiganls'od vegetable and animal sub
stunces, und also in the oceans of
liquid water and gaseous air which
cover the face of the cat Hi.
Eleettlclty Is a name applied to that
quality of a latent enetgy which en
ables It to manifest Itself at remote
distances Instantaneously. All forms
of enemy may be brought Into that
state by taking the ptecautloiis nee
cssatv to prctent the escape of the
power ot fotee befoie It teaches the
Intended point of application. Otn
piesent method', aie etude and Indl
ieet, AA'e go to Nlngaiu or the culm
piles for their stored enemy while over
our heads at noon dav there is many
times nioio than enough power to do
all our woik if we onlv knew how lo
Eiasp n.
To i educe the dliect heat of the sun
Into a latent loim so insulated ol held
in a teseivolr that It can be drawn
upon at pleasute is u question yet un
solved and one thnt will not be solved
until our scientists change their pies
ent tlews ns to electricity.
Mr. Reploglo hinted ut luige glass
domes In which the sun beams would
be gatheted By multiplying these
along the pathway of old Sol the gath
ering of the eiuigy could be continued
dny nnd night, for as the sun would
sink in tlie west the Chinese could see
to It that the Pacific cable supplied
the necessary power by night and the
Enzllsh In their tin ii could render the
Chinese n moio actual serv!co than
they hate cter been wont to do, by
sending the belated sunshine to tho
Orient.
VISIT TO LABORATORY.
Mr. Reploglo also Interestingly told
of a visit to the laboratory of Chailes
E Trlpler and of his witnessing some
ot the phenomena, pioduecd by appli
cations or liquid air. Testa's latest
discovery, the means ot transmitting
electricity without wites through the
upper ptrnliini of air wns likewise
touched upon and both, he said, weie
means lo tilt end upon which he ells
covered the dliect application of the
suns energ).
There weie a number of other in
teiestlng exercises nt the meeting. In
