Public .Sympathy lias Not Erred.
From the Philadelphia Record.
In discussing the Lattimor carnage
some insidious appeals have been made ;
to national sentiment with the assertions j
that the strikers are only ignorant Huns j
and Sclavs, ami that thtfrn would have
been no bloodshed if the minors had boon
of English-speaking races.
Possibly. Yet the injunctions of the
courts seem to have been sufficient to
prevent bloodshed in the bituminous '
coal regions of western Pennsylvania, j
where the samo ignorant Sclavs and
lluns work the mines.
Rut who have supplanted the English
speaking miners in the anthracite regions
with these forbidden races from South
crn Europe? When the coal corpora- !
tions could not secure the labor of Irish,
Welsh or English miners at their wages
they imported the Huns.
The Huns in their turn, having learn
ed the value of their labor as well as
felt the needs of a better mode of living
for themselves and their families, have
struck against the meagre wage that is j
doled out to them.
Their ignorance of the language of •
their employers and of the official authr- j
ities seems to alTord a reason for more j
rather than for loss consideration in deal- !
ing with them.
Public sympathy has not erred in re- !
lation to the miserable condition of the |
minors In both the anthracite and the .
bituminous regions. Nor is this sympa
thy likely to be. lessened by the carnage
at Lattlmer.
Resoluteness in suppressing riotous
demonstrations in their very inception
is sometimes mercy to the mob. Rut
there is an energy that often partakes
of fear or of reckless disregard of human
life; and the question is whether the
sheriff of Luzerne county has not dis
played an energy toward a body of un
armed strikers altogether out of propor
tion witli the gravity of the occasion.
Rut the blood at Lattimor will not
have been shed together in vain if it
shall impress upon the striking minors
the danger of tampering with the laws
for preserving the peace and of infring
ing upon the personal rights of others.
It should at the same time impress
upon the great coal corporations tin*
truth that they are not wholly exempt
from obligations toward the ignorant
strangers who have been imported from
far to work their mines.
Those companies which still keep
stores at the mouths of their mines to
filch from labor a part of its slender
earnings could not seize upon a more
fitting occasion for giving up this iniqui
tous system.
That there is no excuse for their prac
tico it seems by the fact that other com
panies pay weekly wages in cash, and
that those corporations have the least
trouble with their miners.
The coal companies would also do well
to remember that iu the condition to
which they have reduced labor no other
is within their reach than that of the
ignorant but fierce and inflammable
Huns.
In tills situation they owe it to tho
people of Pennsylvania to so manage
their busines relations with these
strangers as not to involve tho frequent
expense of sending a large body of militia
into the coal regions in order to maintain
the supremacy of the law.

LABOR-SAVING DEVICE.
Intended to Hold Flooring Cefoi e It
Hun lieen Nulled.
Many carpenters, when laying u floor
find it possible to tit the strips of stuff
closely enough by placing a block of
wood against the outer edge of the free
board, und strikingly kt smartly with a
hammer. Then when the tongue of one
strip has been wedged into the grooves
of the other the nail is driven which
holds the newly laid board in place.
But with some kinds of stuff, especial
ly hardwood, it is desirable to hold the
strips temporarily with some sort of
a jack or with a chisel until the work
man is ready to drive nails. Ira A. Smith,
of East Berkshire, Vt.., who is an archi
tect and builder, has been so dissatis
fied with the usual methods adopted in
such cases that he has invented a
"squeezer" of his own. The sketch re
produced herewith tells its own story
so well that little need be added. The
lower, horizontal piece, like the notched
THIS IS A YANKEE INVENTION.
hand-lever, Is three feet long. The
slanting brace in which the liand-lover
is fulcrummed has a length of two feet
ten inches. The short upright lever is
only u foot long, and the horizontal
shoe which comes in contact with the
flooring is sixteen inches long. The
check rod, in the reur, is hinged to the
frame,and trimmed to lit in t-kenotches.
The dog must be sharp enough to take
hold of the floor lining or joist, as the
case may be. It will be seen at a
glance that this "squeezer"- affords a
great leverage, and when it Is set at
ar:y particular notch can be left there.
It will stand alone. Mr. Smith says
that lie never yet saw any plun for
hardwopd flooring that did not require
an extra hand. But with this device a
carpenter can dog the stuff himself.
The material employed in this
"squeezer" is hardwood and iron,
which together cost 30 cents. The
labor out on it costs about as much
more.—X. Y. Tribune.
UNIQUE TELESCOPE.
Harvard's New Instrument Will Di>
Wonderful TliInKN.
It is expected that Harvard's new
eight-inch rectangular telescope will l>e
in full working order by the middle of
June. Without the assistance of any
person, it will change and expose plates,
and take, automatically, photograplus
of the tars. W. 11. Atvvill is supervis
ing its construction. Within a drum
attached to the focus of tllie telescope
is a revolving frame, which carries eight,
photographic plates, octagonally ar
ranged, lilms outward. This frame is
turned through one-eighth of a revolu
tion, in the return of the telescope to
the meridian, thus bringing a fresh
plate into the field of the telescope.
Each region is photographed 20 min
utes. The supply of plates lasts a little
less than three hours. A large part
of the work of Harvard observatory Is
devoted to systematic charting of the
heavens by means of photography. The
new telescope will save the observer
many hours of tiresome labor, which
has been In-fore required in changing
plates. .'4 some time during the year,
all portions of the sky visible in our
latitude come to the meridian,charting
being confined to the zones lying on the
meridian. Taking the regions a.s they
drift through this zone, eventually nil
the heavens visible in our latitude will
be photographed. The new telescope is
designed to work in this narrow belt of
the sky, which has the meridian for its
center. The telescope starts near the
meridian and follows a region for 20
minutes, at the end of which time it
quickly and automatically returns to its
starting point. Ihiring this return it is
also pointed automatically ten degree®
further north, or toward the zenith, a
region just above the one last Liken.
Owing to cloudy weather and other
causes, some regions jxiss the telescope
without l>eing observed. This telescope
is provided with an adjustment which
will enable it to start one or two hours
west- of the meridian, and thus recover
regions which might otherwise be losL

neutralizes the effect of tlie earth's ro

SIGHTLESS PERSONS.
There Are Just One Million Now Liv
ing lu Civilised Lands.
It is stated that there are 1,000,000
blind people in the world, or 1 to every
1,500 inhabitants. A great German
oculist believes that a majority of the
cases are due to fever, and that 75 per
cent, of the afflicted persons could, by
proper treatment, have retained their
sight. Last reports show 23,000 blind
persons in England, or 870 for each
1,000,000 inhabitants. Blind infants
of less than 5 years, 100 for each 1,000,-
0(50 inhabitants. Blind infants of less
than 5 years, ICG for each 1,000,000; be
tween 5 and 15, 288; between 20 and 25,
422; between 45 and GO, 1,625, and above
05 years, 7,000 for each 1,000,000. Of
ficial figures in France show that only
one-sixth of the sightless were born
blind, that of these G5 per cent, were
male and 35 per cent, female children.
Less than 10 per cent, of sightless peo
ple in France were under the age of 21.
Russia and Egypt are .the countries
where the blind constitute the largest
proportionate number of the total pop
ulation, in Russia on account of the lack
of experienced medical attention, and
in Egypt because of ophthalmia due to
irritation caused by movement of the
sand by the wind. There are nearly
200,000 blind persons in European Rus
sia, the largest proportionate number
in Finland and the northern provinces.
This is ascribed to the flat country and
imperfect ventilation in huts of the
peasantry. Though more than half of
the blind population of Europe is found
in Russia, there are only 25 asylums for
the blind in the empire, one-tenth of the
total number in Europe. While the
blind population in the United States Is
less than one-third as large as that of
Russia, the number of inmates of blind
asylums is larger here than in an}'other
country. The tolol number of pupils
in these institutions was, by last re
l>orts, 3,489, and grounds and buildings
devoted to their use are valued ut SG,-
000,000.
BED FOR THE SICK.
Can He Raised or Lowered Without
Disturbing? the I'atlcnt.
A new bed, particularly udapted to
the uses of the sickroom, has lately been
invented. The secret of its efficiency is
that by its means the patient can be
raised into almost any position without
disturbance or lifting, allowing the bed
to be made and aired and the patient-ex
amined, without any exertion either on
the part of the latter or the nurses;
moreover, the tedium of illness may be
relieved by so raising the sick persons

THE LOSS OF SLEEP.
It CuuNt'N Latitude and a Dei>reM
liiK IntcrcMt In Life.
In a paper by Prof. 11. C. Warren, of
Princeton university, there are accu
rately described some experiments on
the effects produced by loss of sleep,
conducted by Prof. Patrick and Dr. Gil
bert, of the University of lowa. These
gentlemen tested three normal subjects,
eomjiosod of instructors, men not
easily susceptible to Influences. They
w ere kept awake 90 hours without stim
ulants. During this time they were en
gaged, as far as possible, in their usual
occupations. After the second night the
first subject complained that the floor
was covered with a grcasy-lookingniolec
ular layer of rapidly moving particles.
•T.lie.y rendered him nearly desperate.
Sometimes the layer seemed u foot
above the floor, and parallel with it. As
lie tried to step upon it he staggered
and tumbled, could not obtain a sure
footing. Later the uir became full of
swarming particles, which developed
into red, purple and black gnats. lie fre
quently climbed into a cliair to brush
them away from the g;ts jet. The ap
pearance of all these men was the same
as if an overdose of liquor had been ad
ministered. Those who have lost their
normal rest for several nights feel a
lassitude and depressing interest in life.
They seem to lose an equitable judg
ment of things. Events seem out of
proportion.

through which the oil passes upward
