palgn of Nopnleon.of course, while the
were considered sliort as compared
with onie previous wara In Europe,
were certainly long M compared with
the wara of the post few decoded. A
distinct tnorememt tn tlie direction of
the alkorter duration of wara la to b
noticed In tlie paat fow rnnturvra.
Tho campaign In the BpandAh Nether

followed tho thirty-years' war In Eu
rope, ending In tlie pence of Went,
pualta. Clrll war In England lasted
from 1042 to 1600, although hootlll
ties were no In proa-mas all tiurt time.
The wara of the Hnanlah Succession,
of the Austrian Succession, the Swedish-Russian
war, and the Boron
Tears' war followed, averaging about
ten years apiece. The Napoleonic cam
paigns covered nearly fifteen years
The Crimean war lanted from 18.14 te
183(1. In tlie war of the rebellion, Is
this country, the world saw the latest
war which extended over four yenra ol
time.
Klnce I SttS, with the general Introduc
tion of the telegraph, the electric cable,
and tho modern system of railways,
war has become a matter of a few
month at most. In 1900 Prussia de
feated Austria In nor on weeks. Trus
la defeated France In about twe
months. The war between Russia and
Turkey began tn April, 1877, and wa
practically finished by tlie close of thai
year. The war between China and Ja
pan began about midsummer, 1804, and
ended In March, 1803. The prosenit wni
between Turkey and Greece seems to
be practically ended In about foul
weeks from the outbreak of formal hos
tilities. It seems to be shown by expe
rience that two Important civilized na
tions lu those days of telegraph and
railway cannot conduct wars for any
length of time unless tlie centerndLng
countries are separated by the ocean

Why Smokestack Escape Lightning
Statistics show that of 10,000 smoke
stacks only three are struck by light
ning each year, while of 10,000 church
spires sixty-seven, and of 10,000 wind
mills eighty-nine are struck by light
ning annually. An endeavor bas been
made to explain this condition liy-tlio
fact that the smoke discharged from
the smokestacks takes tho electricity
assembled around tho building along
and distributes It lu the air, whereby
the source of attraction for tho electric

CONGRESSIONAL.
July 12. In the senate tho general
deficiency appropriation bill was taken
up, the question being on a point of
order against an amendment offered by
Mr. Foraker, of Ohio, for the payment
of flndliiRs of the court of claims under
the Bowman act. Mr. Hale took the
ground that these were private claims,
and not In order as an amendmpnt to
an appropriation bill. After discussion
Vice President Hobart sustained the
point of order, and the amendment
was excluded.
July 13. Without any preliminary
session the senate resumed considera
tion of the Reneral deficiency appropri
ation bill, the pending question being
the amendment offered by Mr. Butler
(pop., N. C), to reduce the average rate
to be paid for armor plate for the three
new battleships from $425 to $:i00 per
ton.
July 14. The senate, committee on
foreign relations has ordered a favor
able report to the senate on the Hawa

mittee made no amendment to the con
vention. At 12 o'clock the general deficiency
bill was reported to the house. On mo
tion of Mr. Cullom, the house non-concurred
In the armor amendment and
asked a conference thereon. Mr. Hep
burn, of Iowa, asked Mr. Cannon If he
would not consent to a separate vote
on the armor plate Item. Mr. Cannan
responded thnt the house would have
an opportunity to vote on the question
when the conference report was before
It. Mr. Bayers, of Texas, agreed with
Mr. Cannon In assuring Mr. Hepburn
thnt there would be a chance to vote
on the question untrammeled by any
complication. Messrs. Cannon, North
way and Bayers were named as con
ferees on the part of the house.
July 1.1, Pacific railway affairs occu
pied the attention (if the senate
throughout to-dny's session, nnd the
Harris resolution relating to the pend
ing judiilnl proceedings against the
Union Pacific road finally went over
until to-morrow. Early In the day
Senators Btewart nnd White Indulged
In sharp personalities In connection
with the contest over tho Ban Pedro
(Cel.) deep water harbor. Mr. White
said it waa surprising the Interest the
senntor from Nevada took in California
affairs, and he wns at a loss to under
stand the Interference. With evident
agitation Mr. Stewart declared that he
resented the Intimations made. He hnd
a right as a senator to adopt such
course as be desired, and he had no
personnl Interests to serve, such as
those who represented terminal rail
roads. The Joint resolution wns pnssed ac
centing the Invitation of France to par
ticipate In the Paris exposition of Pino.
On motion of Mr. Tillman the bill to
innke distilled spirits transported from
one state to another subject to state
Inws the snme as liquor distilled within

July 1(1. When the armor plnte
amendment was reached In the house
Mr. Cannon moved thnt the house In
sist on Its disagreement, and Mr. W. A.
Btone (Hep. l'n.) moved to concur with
an amendment In the nature of a sub
stitute proposition by the terms of
which the cost of armor plate for tlie
three bnttieships wns Increased from
$L'.407,r,oo to $:l,210,000, nnd tlie limit of
cost of the armor from $100 to $400. Mr.
Koutelln (Hep. Mo.), tho chairman of
the committee on naval affairs of the
Inst house, took the floor In support of
Mr. Btone's motion. He explained at
length the history of tho controversy
over the price of nrmor plate. He
pointed out the refusal of the armor
plate companies to bid under the pro
vision of tho last naval appropriation
bill, limiting the cost to $:ioo per ton,
the proposition of the Illinois Bteel
Company to furnish all the armor for
twenty years at $240 per ton and the
recommendation to the secretory of
the navy for an authorization for new
bids, with a limit of cost of $400 per ton.
The members listened to all that was
snid and then by n vote of three to one
voted In favor of $1100 armor.
The conference repi rt on the defici
ency appropriation bill was considered
by the senate as soon as it met. Mr.
Hale, In charge of the bill, stated that
the price of armor plate was not In
cluded In the report. Nothing had been
done on that subject except that the
senate conferrees hnd stated positive
ly the senate would not consider any
sum over $100 for armor. The report
was agreed to and a further conference
ordered.

In old time the Dutch, by Importing
English clay, made a good profit out of
Imitations of Chinese porcelain, and
presently the Dutch product became
world as Delft ware.
But the Dutchman was no more se
cure In his profitable trade than had
been his predecessor, the Chinaman.
The English potters took to copying
the Dutch patterns, and sold their pot
tery much cheaper, and the north of
England became headquarters for the
Delft china.
Again, however, the spoiler has been
spoiled. Of late the Japanese have
made themselves masters of the art of
reproducing the patterns best liked In
England, and have begun to encroach
on the domain long monopolized by
the English potter. The Japanese prod

Dr. 'Webb's liOcouiotlve Searchlight.
Persons who happened to be In the
Tnlon Station ytird last night about
10:80 wero struck with the unusual
brilliancy of the p'.ace The reason fot
this was that the private engine of Dr.
Seward Webb, the Nehascne, was tn
tho yard with a new searchlight on Its
pilot, which threw a very powerful
light on tho track and the objects with
in Its range. The searchlight is about
the size of the ordinary light carried
on the pilots of locomotives, only It Is
many times more brilliant The powet
for the light Is generated in a small dy
namo operated Independent ot the
mechanism of the engine. The engine
was In charge of Engineer McFadden,
who was kept busy explaining the llg'ut
to a curious and interested crowd of
railroad men. The engine was ordered
to L'tlca, nnd loft on its run at 10:30.
The light Is able to allow the engineer
to discern objects distinctly at the dis
tance of a mile. Albany Argus.
