Special Navy Supplement.
Tho subject of our navy is one which
is all-engrossing at tho present time,
and the desire for accurate and roliablo
information concerning our vessels lias
Induced the Scientific American to publish
a special navy supplement of forty
pages witii ninety illustrations. Every
effort has been made to explain what
tho navy is. Comparisons have been
drawn, not only between the various
types of vessels, but also between dif
ferent vessels of the same class. The
descriptions are couched in untechnlcal
language, and after a careful reading of
tliis number any one can discuss the
merits of the various vessels. The clear
diagrams showing tho difference between
those modern fighting machines render
analyses of this kind easy. It. is beauti
fully illustrated by half-tone engravings
and woodcuts showing not only the
naval vessels themselves, but guns, gun
turrets, conning towers, steering ap
paratus, etc. This number has a color
ed map of Cuba. Price 25 cents. Munn

Fifth Annual Cloning Kxerrinen of the
School Were Nuccesnfully Conducted on
Friday Evening—Nome Excellent Ad
dresses Delivered by tbe Students.
Tho fifth annual closing exorcises of
tho Mining and Mechanical Institute
were hold at the Grand opera house on
Friday evening. Hon. George D. Mc-
Creary, of Philadelphia, occupied his
usual position as chairman of the even
ing, and filled it in the same able
manner as on former occasions. With
him on the stage were tho students of
tho institute who took part, in the even
ing's program, this faculty of the school,
tho board of directors, the speaker of
the evening—Prof. A. E. Kcnnclly, of
Philadelphia—and tho most prominent
supporter of tho Institute—Eckley B.
Coxo, Jr. Through tho generosity of
the latter the board of directors has
been placed in possession of 8309 annual
ly, to bo distributed entirely or in part
in prizes to the scholars who shall merit
tho samo.
Tho prizes for tho term just closed
wero awarded at the conclusion of the
exercises by Prof. John K. Wagner, and
consisted of $240. The fortunate pupils
and tho amounts received were as fol
lows:
First division, scientific class—M. N.
Bcrgin, Bernard Boyle, Roger Devor.
Frank Roberts, $25 each.
Second division, scientific class—John
J. McMenamiu, John Powell, Charles
Mltke, S2O each.
Mining class—August Lesser, S2O.
Elementary mathematics —Bernard J.
Keunan, John J. Gallagher, S2O each.
Mechanical drawing—Torrenco Rich
ards, William Lesser, $lO each.
Prof. Ken nelly delivered the Founder's
Day address. This gontleman is one
whose name is widely known through
ills works upon scientific subjects, and
ho proved to bo an entertaining talker.
His address in the main was confined to
the necessity of the young men of Ameri
ca educating themselves. He exhorted
them to loso no time in doing this, to
grasp every chance to imbibe knowledge,
not alone from books but in all other
ways in which learning can be obtained,
lie predictod that tho demand for edu
cated men and women in the near future
would be greater than over, in order
that tho development of the country can
keep pace with its wonderful resources
and capabilities as tho latter from time
t.o time come into view. Specialists are
needed today in overy department of
labor, business and the professions, and
tho speaker warned those who fail to
equip themselves with learning that
they will surely be outdistanced in the
race of life which the coming civilization
will bring with it.
John J. McMenainin had been chosen
to deliver the opening address of tho
exercises and ho did it in acceptable
style, deviating somewhat from the
beaten paths usually trod by salutato
rians. His welcome on behalf of all con
cerned to the audience and public was
comprised in a neat speech that did not
fail to have an effect. Following this
with his subject proper, "Our Country's
Needs," ho entertained tho gathering
with a masterly oration on this all
important question, and iiis troatment of
it showed that no small amount of
thought and study liavo been expended
by him In seoking tho real needs of tho
country. The necessity of returning to
the principles onunciatod in tho Declara
tion of Independence and strictly ad
hering to them, and the general develop
inetit of citizenship on broad lines, such
as will make men capable of guiding our
country's destiny so that each will reap
his proportionate share of the bounties
of nature and genius, wero brought out
in a most convincing manner by the
speaker.
Tho valedictory oration by Bernard
Boyle was also well received. He open
ed witii a pleasant and interesting dis
course upon tho "Conversion of Heat
Into Mechanical Energy," which sub
ject tho speaker proved himself capable
of treating In a stylo that permitted
those unacquainted with this mystery to
fully understand and appreciate. Mr.
Boyle then followed witii tho thanks of
tho students of tho institute to the
directors and faculty for the interest
taken and time spent upon them, all of
which he rendered in languago appro
priate to the occasion.
M. N. Bergin's talk on "Mineral Coal"
gave to many in tho audience new light
on this product of our region. Its for
mation, from the ages prior to man's
existence to its discovery by man, was
traced Intelligently by the speaker, and
the description of tho many changes it
had undergone before reaching its pres
ent state was ably told.
"lladient Matter" was well treated by
Roger Dover, who, besides speaking on
his subject fully, gave much informa
tion on matter of every kind—solid,
liquid and gas. The indestructibility of
OikSTOniA.

matter, or rathorof the molecules which
compose it. was demonstrated by the
speaker calling: attention to the various
ways in which matter can bo disposed
of, then proving that not an atom hud
been destroyed—transformed perhaps,
but still remaining as matter in some
form.
Bernard J. Knennn, with "Oppor
tunity" for his text, made a plea to nil
to grasp every opportunity in life that
might assist in educating the brain or
the hand. He commented freely upon
the opportunities that lie before the
young men and advised each to make
good use of every chance to improve
oneself ere it is too late.
"Air We Broathn" was the title of
Patrick J. Dover's subject, and it is safe
to conclude that after he finished many
in the audience wero better acquainted
witii this important article of life than
before. The necessity of maintaining
tho purity of the air we breathe, thereb)
insuring our health against disease, was
brought out in striking form, and
statistics of air analyzed in various
places clinched tho speaker's arguments.
O. T. Richards told of tho vast amount
of knowledge which can be obtained by
"Asking Questions." People who see
something and do not understand it
wero advised to ask questions from
those who know. Every man's store of
learning can be increased in tiiis
man 11 er.
Condy Johnson gave a brief but very
interesting review of "One of America's
Greatest Statesmen (Henry Cla})." The
life and work of this noble man furnished
tlte speaker with a theme that was well
discoursed upon in the short space of
time allotted him. Clay's grand stability
of character was offered by Mr. Johnson
as a model for all others who would rise
to prominence in the affairs of state and
still retain tho respect of the populace.
The opera house was well filled with a
select audience. During the evening
several appropriate selections wero ren
dered by St. Patrick's band.
Tho board of directors of tho institute
consists of tho following: President, A.
C. Leisenriug; vice president, Owen
Fowler; treasurer, John Rowland; secre
tary, Wiliiam B. Fry; H. E. Sweeny, E.
A. Oberrender, Walter Leisenring,
Harry R. Price, John R. Wagner and
John li. Cunningham.
The faculty includes John R. Wagner,
principal, and Richard P. Keiley, Wil
liam J. Schmidt, Harry R. McClellan
and 11. W. Palmer, instructors.
Tho term of 1898-91) will open early in
September.
New ArrunuemeptH on the Valley.
The practice of economy goes steadily
onward along tho Lehigh Valley Rail
road. A number of inon who have beon
drawing good salarios for comparatively
easy duty liavo had their salaries cut
to a figure that tho company believes
tits the. duties, while others who liavo
been bent down with burden for year*
have had them lightened by a very sub
stantial increase. The latest innova
tion consists of a change, in tho hours
and duties of train dospateher.* and
operators at Delano. Instead of ton
hours a day as has been the practice for
years they will work eight, hours. Three
dispatchers will direct train movements,
ono for each third of tho twentv-four
hours, while each will bo aidod by a
copier, a telegraph operator who assists
the dispatcher. Heretofore live or six
men handled this work by day and a
lesser number by night.
To enable ouo tnan to attend to all
this work at once, all offices on the
entire division have been connected with
one wire. In this way Delano may com
municate with Mt. Carina!, Mauch
Chunk, Freeland, Toniliickon or New
Boston Junction with the same instru
ment. It is expected tiiat tiie new ar
rangement will go into effect within a
few days.

LEISENRING'S BETRAYAL.
llow the Kx-CongrexHiimn Was Buncoed
by Delegates Elected to Support Him.
A staff correspondent of the Phila
delphia Press, writing from llarrisburg
on tho eve of the Republican state con
vention, tells as follows how tho alleged
friends of ex-Congressman Leisenring
threw over their candidate for governor:
"Tonight both Connell and Leisenring
are out, this action having been taker,
to help W. A. Stone. Mr. Connell Is
here and afbted for himself, but the case
of Mr. Leisenring, he being absent in
Colorado, appears to bo an exhibition of
bad faith oil the part of iiis alleged
friends, who for the machine candi
date. The facts are most significant
and illustrates how some of the tilings
are done.
"A meeting of the Leisenring delegates
was held this evening. The Leisenring
strength was twenty-one votes. Mr.
Leisenring had agreed that iiis name
would be presented to tho convention,
but the Hon. "Farmer" Kulp, who
claimed to lie a Leisenring delegate, al
though lie was on the W. A. Stone steer
ing committee, came to tho meeting.
Ho opened with a lengthy speech, iu
which lie said that Leisenring had no
earthly show and that as VV. A. Stone
was to he nominated he would not vote
for Leisenring.
"F. W. Whoaton, of Wilkosbarre,
stated that ho was elected in opposition
to Leisenring, and was not in favor of
having Lelsonring's name presented,
and that ho was in favor of W. A. Stone
on tho ground that it was practical
politics aud Luzerne could get no share
of the small offices unless tho delegates
stood by tho machine.
"Mr. Harris, of Hazleton, stated that
he had to bo for W. A. Stone because a
friend of his was a candidate for tho
Hazleton postoftice, and they had to
stand with Quay. However, he voted
for presenting tho name. C. C. Bow
man, of Pittston, also opposed the pre
senting of Leisenring's name, becausq
Luzerne would loso its share of patron
age.
"Mr. Davis, of Carbon, and Mr. Ilal
soy, of White Haven, stood by Leisen
ring to tho end, and Mr. Ilalsey stated
lie would not vote for W. A. Stone. The
truth of tho matter is that overy per
sonal friend of Leisenring, tho men
whom lie relied on, came to llarrisburg
witii a determination to throw him over
and they succeeded. To "Farmer"
Kulp, more than anyone else, is duo tho
betrayal of Leisonring."

Mine Workom Take Action.
The movement begun recently to
boom anthracite was discussed at a
meeting of the Mine Workers Union at
n&zlotou on Saturday, and District No.
7 passed tho following resolutions:
"Whereas, It being apparent that dis
tress has for some time and does still
exist in the entire anthracite coal region,
owing to the dullness in the anthracite
coal trade, and
"Whereas. In consoquence many of
the people in our midst are sorely in
need of the necessaries of life, bo it
therefore
"Resolved, That we appeal to our con
gressmen to have an appropriation made
by congress that will relieve tho people
in need and to ask our government to
use anthracite coal wherever it may be
practicable to do so; and be it further
"Resolved, That copies of these reso
lutions bo sent throughout the entire an
thracite region for signatures by the
business men and the public at large."
Actum Wore Warmly Received.
A quartette of young men, claiming
Weatherly as their homo, attempted to
givo a free show at the Cottage hall on
Saturday evening. They said tho per
formance was intended to draw a crowd
to whom tin) wonders of Kickapoo In
dian medicine could bo related, but the
show became so "yellow" that the actors
had to ring down the curtain and escape
via tho socret oxits before the program
was concluded. It was, without doubt,
tho most horrible burlesque on variety
acting over inflicted on Frooland, and If
an admission had boon charged the
stage-struck young men would have
fared badly at tho hands of the audi
ence. As it was, every movable article
iu tho hall was going stageward when
some considerate person extinguished
tho lights and permitted tho "actors"
to disappear.
Republican State CnndidatoH.
The following ticket was selected by
Matt Quay last week for the Republicans
of Pennsylvania, and tho convention on
Thursday nominated it:
Governor—William A. Stone, of Alle
gheny.
Lieutenant governor—J. P. S. Uobin,
of Lebanon.

W. Latta, of Philadelphia.
Judgo of the superior court—William
W. Porter, of Philadelphia.
Congressmen-at-largo Galusha A.
Grow, of Susquehanna; Samuel A.
Davenport, of Erie.
Some Republicans seem disposed to
resent Quay's bossism, but the party in
this state has so long been his slave
that no attention is being paid to the
threats to revolt.
A Suicide's I'repunitions.

l'oo county, committed suicide in a pe
culiar manner. llu shot himself in tho
mill race at that place. Kunkle first
look a coil of rope and fastened one ond
to a staple on the bank, then tied the
other end around his waist. In his belt
was a revolver, to which was tied a
string. Ho had written a note which
read: "You will find my body at tho
head of tho mill race. A suit of clothes
is In my valise to bury mo in when tho
undertaker lias mo in preson table shape."
The letter further said lie wanted no

Hanitt-<1 Till lie Stopped Klcklnic.
A case of youthful depravity has re
cently come to public notice at Turn
ers Falls, Mass. It appears that several
boys from "Tough end," who had
heard the particulars of the execution
of O'Neil, concluded to try one of their
number for the crime of murder. An
empty freight car was used as a court
room, and the trial proceeded with
judge, jury, and full complement of
officers.
After the trial, in which the accused
was found guilty, the sentence of death
was pronounced upon the accused, and
preparations taken to carry out the
decree of the court. The death watch
was set and a gallows improvised in
the car. When the time drew near for
the execution the condemned boy was
mounted upon a box and the noose ad
justed. The box was knocked out
from under his feet, and the victim
was told that when he stopped kick
ing ho would be cut down. He waß
soon unable to kick, and the break
ing of the rope probably saved the
boy's life. Some little time was re
quired to bring the boy around.
The ages of the boys are given as
from 10 to 15, and the victim's age was
about 12. The matter has been kept
very quiet, and it was only by accident
that the affair became known.
