_ What Will Hnppon Then? Mark Tw nin^calls for the Invention of the plirenopbooe, an Inatmraent which will enable mankind to read one an other's thonghta through infinite dit- tanecs, directly, without need of cable, telephone or telegraph. He would have a sort of psychic telegraph, so to speak, which conld ntilize the thought current whose existence many begin to believe in —tap it and make it carry instantly thonghts from one brain to another, how soever far removed the other brain might be. The famous humorist him self has had experiences in which, with out the aid of any instrument, the thoughts of his own brain have flashed into the brain of another, even to the very words Mr. Clemens WiW about to utter. In the new psychic develop ments which the race is expected to at tain there is reason to fear this kind of thought resiling may become common, terribly common. What then is to be come of civilized man? Civilized speech is a method of show ing to others largely what we do not think. If you believe in yonr soul a man is a liar, but do not dare tell him so, what will yon do when he reads your mind like an open book? When a fash ionable woman treats cordially a dear friend whom she instantly falls on and bilks about horribly the moment the dear friend is out of sight, how will she feel to have the lady suddenly open the door ami rejieat out of her own thought reading consciousness every word that has been said? Terrible times there will be then. The only safety will be in never thinking a wrong thingabout any body. In view of the possible near ap proach of this new psychic development, perhaps we might begin now to think only such thoughts as we would be will ing to have all the world read. That Voice Again. A fatal objection has been brought against the possible candidacy of Cardi nal Gibbons for the papal chair in case of the deatli of his holiness, Leo XIII. The objection is brought by a Europea ., writer, It. de Cesare, and it is this: Car dinal Gibbons speaks no language bu- English, and the enormity of the offense becomes double dyed by the announce ment that he “speaks ifwith a nasal twang, like all .forth Americans." This is indeed terrible. If that nasal twang of ns of the United States is go ing to keep Cardinal Gibbons from be ing pope, then are we far gone indeed Cardinal Gibbous, good, honest Anieri- can that he is, so offends the sensitive foreign ear by his nasal twang that it is mentioned ui a serious reasou why be should not Is) pope. “It. do Cesare," who evidently would tight bitterly agaist any American candidate for the papal succession, seems able to find nothing graver than this to bring against the Baltimore cardinal, which is a com pliment indeed to him. But is not this the place to draw the line about that “nasal twang" in the American voice? It is there, no doubt of that. It is as certainly there as the misplaced h's of the British cockney. But it is nothing that we cannot get rid of. and that easily. When it is brought forward as something which should keep distinguished gentlemen from prefer ment, then it is time to take leave of it st once and forever. It is cheerful to note a prospect that the pops and the French republic can make up their differences and effect a reconciliation on terms satisfactory to both. Those who claim to he well in formed declare that his holiness dis approves of uutirepublican agitation among the Catholics of France, and he desires them to cease it and become faithful subjects of the republic. At the same time the French government has signified its desire to be on good terms witii tlie head of a church to which at least ninety-uino out of a hundred of its people adhere. If a gisal understanding between Leo X111 a id the French gov ernment can he brought about, then the greatest danger that threatens the re public of France—the opposition of the women aiyd the clergy—will be removed. Another charitable bequest has beeu lost to the world, this time the sum of $300,000, because the testator did not specify exactly what he wanted done with the money. He simply willed it to “such charitable uses" as his executors deemed it could best be devoted. The will was thrown out and the trust de clared void because the object of the be quest was left vague. A man of any sense wbo wants to devote money to benevolence uses it himself for this pur pose during his lifetime. But if yon have not sense and want to wiil to charities, mention exactly what the bequest is for. otherwise the money that is to perpetn ate your name in a university, library or among the heathen will never be used as yon intended it to be. Plated with American Armor. Only two of the competitive armor tests by the United States had been made at Indian Head, Md., when it ws« discovered that American made armor for protecting ships of the navy was beyond a doubt the best in the world. Six competing plates were set up to be shot at in the trials. The three plates at the second competing trial were each tOj inches thick, « feet high and 8 feet wide. Behind them was a “backing” of the kind that would be in use when the plates were employed to cover the sides of war vessels. The difference in the plates used for the trials was one of composition. The result of the shots proves that an armor made of an alloy of nickel and steel, highly carbonized and chilled by the Harvey cold water jet process of surface hardening, is the best in the world, and it is made here at home in the Bethlehem iron works, in Pennsylvania. In the best foreign ship armor hereto fore known the projectile has left a bulge of five to six inches at the back of the plate, where it has not actually pene trated the backing. In the American armor the same kind of bulge is only one-fourth of an inch. The facts detn onstrated at the Indian Head trials are extremely gratifying. The new navy will now be pushed more rapidly than ever. In a very short time the United States will rule all the seas on this side of the globe, and can dictate her own policy to European powers on such [mints as, for instance, a ship canal across the isthmus between North and South America. «>ur New Navy's Crack Warship.

Clothing Commenting on the coming American navy The Review, of Reviews uses these remarkable words: "If England were the only power against whom the United States might have occasion to use their ironclads they might as well be left un built. At the same time we shall he glad to see the Americans supplied with an efficient navy. It will make the naval alliance which must come between the two English speaking families less oue sided than would be the case at pres ent."

Tiffany, of the Now York jewelry establishment, has been married and lived happily with his wife for fifty years. On the occasion of the celebra tion of the-golden wedding the Tiffany employees preaehked to the fine old couple a gold medal richly and artis tically engraved, containing on one side medallion portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Tif fany. This is well. A husband and Wife wbo live peaceably together for fifty years in these days of divorce de serve a gold medal. An ingenious Chicago inventor has adapted the uickel-in-the-slot principle to the telephone and made an instrument whereby, by dropping a nickel into its month, he can ring up the telephone and communicate directly with any part of a town or city.

We have begged men and women who loved each other not to write letters to each other when in the worst stages of the attack—letters that a cold and unfeeling world would jeer at when the lawsuit came on afterward. But it seems as if an evil power hypno tized mifortunate lovers just at the wrong time. "Hypnotized” is a fash ionable word now, and writers with any pretensions to style lug it in wherever possible. In consequence of being hyp noticed thus, lovers continue, iu spite of our tearful expostulations, to write letters such they would give one ear could they recall. This is particularly apt to be the case if a man loves an other man’s wife, or if a single woman loves a married woman's husband. Such was the hapless hypnotization case of John and Lena Wo need not characterize them further, for h;is not their tale of woe gone abroad on the paper wings of cold print?

An epidemic of failures has raged throughout the business world during the past year. There was the Baring embarrassment iu London, owing large ly, it is said, to the bankruptcy of the Argentine Republic. Then came a series f bankers' and brokers' failures in America. New York was struck heav ily, so were IViuisylvania and Massa ■till.setts, and New Jersey did not es- rape. Failures large and small have followed oue another in quick succession in Penns)Ivauiannd New York. Smaller failures have occurred in many of the states of the Union. Then, as the year neared its close, came the great Berlin crash. The ripples from the great Berlin wave of financial disaster have not yet ceased, but continue to topple over smaller concerns than those which first went to the wall and startled the busi ness world of Europe. If the causes of these failures are traced, they will be found almost with out exception to have originated in fraud. Those intrusted with the finan cial affairs of others or the officers of business houses want more money than they have in order to make greater dis play of luxury iu the manneraif living It is this tiiat tempts ninety-nine men out of a hundred to ruin. They appro priate to their own use other people’s money, expecting to replace it. They cannot replace it and ninst steal more to cover up the first theft. Then at Iasi ooines detection, sometimes followed by .light, sometimes by suicide and always by disgrace to the thief and his family. It is really a very highly developed nan morally who h:is the backbone to remain honest in the face of all tempta tion. Yet honesty is after all the only way. Sixteen ounces to the pound, thir ty-six inches to the yaid, a dollar in pocket for every dollar of debt, the power to look every man bright and square in the face—this is what it means to lie a business man fit to be trusted with great interests.

The New York is protected by s partial belt of armor, placed amidships, and by a complete belt of water exclnd ing material. The new ship is built both for cruis ing and fighting. Her heavy barbettes an 1 the almost impenetrable armor that constitutes her gnu shields will make her a formidable enemy for the best of Eu ropean shi[« to grapple. The New York is the largest, finest cruiser yet turned out of an Ameriean shipyard, the most magnificent vesnel of our new navy, and we 'point with pride to her. At least we shall do so when she is all finished and get# her machinery and armament. That wili take a year yet. That is to say if emergency arises, it can be completed in four mouths. But if the hired laborers of Uncle Sam spin out the work as they usually do in order to get the most out of it and make it last ns long as possible, then it will require a year and a half. rain pas: cs they : ':- to look at it.

Political Coinooutci-s. Speaking of the Farmers’ Alliance in the fall elections, the New York Sun recalls something of the hisftry of indo- N-ndent political movements in the last eighteen years. The Sun lays it down as a general statement that in the year midway be tween presidential elections an inde pendent movement rises like a wave, temporarily overwhelming a portion of the political world, and then subsides. Die Grangers made a strong showing. The Sun remarks, in 1871. By 1878, presidential year, the Granger wave as a political factor flattened out—sank into the respective bosoms of the Republican ■rud Democratic parties again. In 1878 the Greenback movement swept over the country. It secured 80,000 votes -ven in Pennsylvania. But presidential year, 1880. the contest was once again between Republican and Democrat. In 1882 came the Independents. Dur ing that year many Republican votes were lost ill the elections, but with 1884— behold. Democrat and Republican pitted against each other come up smiling into the ring again. In 1883 it was the Dem- ocratic party that was threatened by the great labor demonstration, and the Labor cundiibites polled a large vote in many places. But who ever knew a Democrat to go hack on the old party when a critical time came? In tile presidential year of 1888 it was the same two old contestants, Democrat and Re publican, that fought for tho presidency. In 18SM) the Farmers’ Alliance move ment made a profound impression on the elections. But The Sun believes that history will repeat itself in 1892. “Why.” asks Judge Ritchie, of Nova Scotia, “should this country Ik- made an asylum for American criminals?" We give it up. By the refusal of foreign countries to admit pork from the United States the American hog raiser has lost in the pu t ten years $280,008,000. The farmer who would not lie cheated by middlemen must take a good news paper and keep himself informed of the inuikct prices cf the products he has to sell. It will cause a sort of sickly smile to rise to the countenance of those who re- im-inls-r how the English sparrow was fostered and nursed into being in this country fifteen years ago to read now how the young Illinois boy slangh ters him by the thousand and collects a bounty on the head of every individual of the dirty, brown coated tribe. Fif teen years ago we in America could not get enough of the English sparrow. We feared this climate would be too inclem ent for him. Sympathetic ladies took the little birds in by the fire and nursed them back to life when they were half frozen. Every means was taken to prop agate the bird, for we thought it would free us from tree caterpillars. And now we find the little beast is no good against caterpillars, but be drives out the other jrjj.is tliat do eat the tree worms, and not only that, but he devours hundreds of bushels of ripe graiu every summer. Dec. I was Sparrow Day in Illinois— the day when the state bounty on spar row heads went into operation—and a grand day it was to the small boy of the Sucker State. Peary’s Christmas.

New York city is so big and iowi rfnl that it does not need to he isalousof anything, hut the Now York litors are laboring hard to create a dif- ereut impression. At any rate it is not ikely that Chicago would have thus trier! to destroy the fair in case New York had secured it. Ttie Century calls attention to the fact hat the directors of the exposition have it their command a sum of money three times as large as was used at Paris in 1889. This sum is to beexjiended on the grounds and buildings. It is $18,000,000. i-’oreign countries are preparing to st-end or the exposition $40,000,000.
