A new method of etching on glass or orce!aln has been patented by Herf IletzlalT, of Uerlln. The usual Oerman process consists in cement ing a sheet of tinfoil to tho surface,! following which Is then uncovered for etcn Ing by a skilful cutting out of the pattern in the foil, and washing away of the cement. The Improved plan Is to perform this operation more simply and perfectly by chem ical means. The pattern Is printed or stencilled In grease colors on tho tinfoil, which U thea fastened to the glass by ashphat, and the pre pared plate Is placed in an acid bath that dissolves out the exposed parts of the foil. The asphalt is then washed oil, when the glass Is ready for etching In the usual way. Uy means of the microtome, sli ces of vegetable and animal tissues down to a thinness of about .10,000 of an inch are obtained for micro scopic study, Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washington, has now gone further and even slices up bltxxi cells and microbes by cementing them In a single layer between two glass slides and cutting the slides apart with a very thin blade or copper sharpened to the highest possible degree. The fine grain of the cop per causes it to take an edge that no razor can approach. The cells are again cut by repeating the op eration, and it Is claimed that sli ces have been made only 1-100 as thick as the thlnnestproduced by the microtome.

Kt'HlKMIA Vkt. Selenium, hitherto chiefly an in teresting curiosity of the chemist's labratory, has been recently used for coloring glass. When added di rectly to the glass in the melting pot, it gives a fine rose tint, vary ing somewhat with the purity of the selenium and the hardness of the glass, and when the selenium is mi zed with cadmium sulphide a beautiful orange red is yielded. The new rust-preventing paint of 1). 1). Kossmann, of Charlotten burg, Germany, is composed of the peroxides of earths of the cerium group. These aro incorporated with llii seed oil varnish, with the addition of a drier linseed oil boil ed with a mixture of boric acid and tho peroxides. Graphite, lamblack, heavy spar, etc., may be used for coloring. Tho paint is claimed to fulfill all requirements, having suf ficient oxygen to insure hardening of the linseed varnish, with free dom from any metallic base capa ble of causing rust by setting up an electrical action with iron. Kumlnation or cud-chewing in man, according to M. Xattan-Lar-rier, is not known to be, as has been stated, chiefly found in males. It may be hereditary, and when in voluntary is especially prevalent among nervous dyspeptics. It is not associated with special chem ical change of salvia or malforma tion or lesion of stomach or olesop hagus. When voluntary, it usual ly occurs in tho weak-minded, but in children it may bo imitative. Some idiots bring their food up at will for rechewing after retaining it for hours. From experiments by M. Ravel, it appears that 6.33 cubic feet of acetylene gas generate in the gas engine one horse power per hour, which is a reduction in ruei oi two-tnirds as compar ed with petrolleum. The mix ture of air with acetylene be gins to be explosive when the pro portion reaches 1.35 parts of gas to 1 of air, while the explosive force reaches its maximum with 12 vol umes of air to 1 of gas, and disap pears at 20 to 1. The flashing point is about 900 o F. most other gases used for power requiring a temper ature of 1100 degrees to Ignite them. The temperature of combustion is much higher than that of other gases. Great rapidity of the trans mission of flame, low ignition tem perature, high combustion temper- I will close hoping the Children's aturo and extraordinary energy of explosion are therefore the special characteristics of this gas. Since the domestication of the zebra, it has been suggested that mixture with the horse would give dcclaitio or raiicirLu. 1.

We denounce tbe sale of bonds and the Increase of the public interest-bearing bond debt made by the present administration as unnecessary and without minority oi law and that no more, bonds be issued except by specific act of Congress. 5. We demand such legal legislation as will ere vent the demonetization of the law ful money of the United 8tatee by private 6. We demand that the government in payment of its obligations shall use ita op tions a to the kind of lawful money in which they are to be paid and we denounce the present and preceding administration fr surrendering this option to the holders of government ooligations. 7. We demand a graduated income tax to the end that aggregated wealth shall bear ita just proportion or taxation ana we de nounce the Supreme court, relative to the income tax law, aa a misinterpretation of the constitution and an in vasion of the rightful powers of Congress over the sub ject of taxation. 8. We demand that postal sayings banks be established by the government for the safe deposit of the savings of the people and to facilitate exchange. RAILROADS. 1. Transportation being a means of ex change ana a public necessity, the govern ment should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people on a non-partisan basis; to the end that all may be ac corded the same treatment in transporta tion, and that the tyranny and political power now exercised by the great railroad corporations, which results in the impair ment if not the destruction of the political ngbts and personal noeraes oi the citizens, set i tatJIMMa.

INTEREST. We Dledise ourselves to maintain the six percent, iuterest law enacted by the last General Assembly. PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The action of the Peoples Party members of the last General Assembly has demon strated, beyond question, that the Peoples Party has been true to its antecedent plat form declarations in favor of public educa tion. e demand sull further improving and broadening the public school system of the State as rapidly as a proper regard for the interests of the tsx pavers and the re sources of the State will permit. We also favor such revision of our present school system as may increase the efficiency of eur public schools ana insure the most compe tent and effective supervision. We think that tbe committee on education of the next General Assembly should invite and secure. as far as possible, the co-operation -of the leading teachers and educators of the State in framing and perfecting the school law JUDICIARY.

The interest of the United 8tatea in the public highways built with public moneys, and the proceeds of extensive grants of land to the Pacific railroad should never be alien ated, mortgaged or sold, but guarded and protected for the general welfare, as provid ed bv the lawa of organizing such railroads. Tbe foreclosure of existing lines of the Uni ted States on these roads should at once fol low default in the payment thereof of the debt of companies, and at tbe foreclosure sales of said roads the government shall purchase the same if it becomes necessary to protect its interest therein or if they can be purchased at a reasonable price: and the government shall operate saii railroads as public highways for the uenefit of th whole people and not in the interest of the few, under suitable provision- (or protec tion of life and prorty; givi: . u all trans portation interests and privileges and equal rates for fares and freight. 3.

The telegraph, like the postoffice srs- tem, being a necessity for the transmission of news should be owned and operated by the government in the interest of people. LAND. 1. The true policy demands that the na tional and State legislation shall be such as will ultimately enable every prudent and industrious citizen to secure a home, and therefore the, land should not be monopo lized for speculative purposes. "All lands now held by railroads ' and other corporations in excess of their actual needs, should by lawful means be reclaim ed by the government and held for actual settlers only, and private land monopoly as well aa alien ownership should be prohib ited. 2. We condemn the frauds by which the land grants to the Pacific Railroad compan ies have, through connivance of the Interior department, robbed multitudes of actual bonahde settlers of their homes and miners of their elaims, that we demand legislation by Congress which will enforce the exemp tion of mineral land from such grants after, as well as before patent. 3. We demand that bonafide settlers on all public lands be provided free homes and be provided for in the national Homestead law, and that no exception be made in the case of Indian reservations when opened for settlement, and that all lands not now patented come tinder this demand. 4. We favor a system of direct legislation through the initiative and referendum un der proper constitutional safeguards. GEHEBAL PBOFOBITIONS. 1. We demand the election of President and Vice-President and United States Sena tors by a direct rote ot the people. 2. We tender to the patriotic people of Cuba our deepest sympathy in their heroic straggle for political freedom and indepen dence, and we believe the time haa come when the United 8tatea, the great Republic of the world, should recognize that Cuba is and of right ought to be a free and inde pendent State. t. we lavor borne rule in the Territories people would know where to uiace the re sponsibility for existing outrages: and if their facilities for lighting the battles of the people before the Inter-State Commerce Commission are inadequate for that purpose, that they make recommendations to the General Assembly of amendments to exist ing laws, to tne end that low and rairer rates may be established, both in the State and Inter-State jurisdictions. Resolved, That we recommend a constitu tional prohibition of tbe purchase, lease or rental of parallel or competing railway unes. Decrease la ConaamptloB af Whiskey.

The increased tax and the hard times also probably had their influence. While the Sec retary oMhe Treasury and the Com missioner of Internal.Revenue recom mend an increase of the tax on beer, they favored a decrease in the tax on whiskey as a means on stimulat ing its manufacture and increasing the revenues of f he government, but the records show that high taxes have promoted temperance, or at least caused a decrease in the con sumption. The liquor men favor a decrease in the tax on whiskey and the brewers oppose an increase in the tax oj beer."

We condemn the lease of the North Caro lina Railroad to the Southern Railway Comoanv for ninetv-nina vpr nnt nnn as a bad business transaction in which the interest of the State amounting to the large sum of $3,000,000 invested in good payirg property yielding an income were sacrihoeu; but we also, in most emphatic terms con demn the hasty and secret manner in which it was done several years before the former thirty years' lease, by its terms, would have expired. We call the attention of the peo ple of the State to the fact that some myster ious power has prevented an investigation through the proper legal channels, of the transaction, which was so universally con demned by the press of the State and all classes of our ci lzens, when it hrst became known. We therefore demand that the nexi uenerai Assemoiy iully investigate this transaction, and to the end that the interest oi tbe State may be fully protected as far as it can be done, such legislative action shall be taken as to counteract, as far as possible, this unwise and secret trans action. REMOVAL OF CASKS.
