Thlr , however , singles him out as tha ono man dangerous to all others , and , as oflen happens In nallonal convenllons , numerous comblnallons will Moubtlcas bo made In order to counleract the Influence of 1ils candidacy upon wavering delegatlona.

"If Mr. McKlnloy tould secure the nomi nation on the first ballot that would settle the whole trouble. But I am confident ho will not have , the votes necessary to win at thai stage and lhat ho will bo forced" In the end to abandon the field. Every In dlcatlon favors the presumption that Mr. Mor ton will profit from this failure on the first ballot of Mr. McKlnley and that the pres idential candidate will come from Now York. At these critical polnls In conven tions It la also the case that preferences o { delegations fiom doubtful stales are given , epoclat consideration.

"Nelson be- lorgcd to thai class of individuals lo whom Iho growing genorallon Invariably refer as men of Ihe 'old school. ' "Colonel Nelson possessed a rich fund of hun'or and he enjoyed telling a story Just as well If the Joke were turned on him as when the other1 fellow caught It. "At an old setllers' meeting In Terre Haute In 1885 Colonel Nelson related a story about his first mooting with Abraham Lin coln. It was in the aule-bellum days of stage coaches. One morning the stage ar rived at Terre Haute from Paris , 111. , and stopped at the Clark house , the principal hole ! in the city In these days , and among the passengers was a long , lanky Individual , who , after partaking of breakfast , resumed his Journey to Indianapolis. Colonel Nelson was one of the passengers and on the way endeavored to scrape an acquaintance with the lanky-looking passenger. The latter told several funny stories in the course of their rather tedious Journey. Nevertheless the colcnel took his fellow passenger for "sonic gieon country merchant on hla way to Indianapolis to replenish his stock of gioccrles , hardware , etc. The colonel also talked , very learnedly , and soon the stranger was gazing upon him In a manner that evidently betokened admiration ot the great wisdom of his traveling companion. "Arriving at their destination the colonel put up at the principal hotel nnd alter mak ing an elaborate toilet made his way to the hotel office. There ho observed his fellow passenger , the central figure of a group of men , most of whom were well known to the colonel. Stepping up to the clerk ho Inquired as to the Identity ot the tall Individual and his eye was guided by the finger of the clerk to the open register , where lie road , 'A. Lincoln , ' written In a bold hand , A coating of moisture oozed through the pores of the colonel's countenance ; he was thunderstruck , dumbfounded , and hastily calling for his 'carpet sack' sought quarters elsewhere. "In 1S01 tlio friends of Colonel Nelson suc ceeded In securing an appointment for him and Governor Morton , who was In Washing ton , telegraphed the colonel lo como on , and when he arrived at the capital ho was told thai he would probably be appointed minister lo Chill , When ho made his call upon Ilia president it was with the hope that Mr. Lincoln would not recognize In him the stiigo coach passenger who had aired his erudition during the Journey of a few years before. "Mr. Lincoln greeted him cordially and after notifying him of his appointment and expressing the hope that ho would accept eked at the colonel wllh n merry twinkle In ils eye nnd said : 'Colonel Nelson , do you know I have often ihounht of your talk on oenlrlfugal force during the stage couch rldo ? Now , colonel , I am going to toss you away off to Chill. ' " lluil to Move , "There was an Irishman , " paid a Buffalo railroad official , "who had worked for our road a long tlmo , but was dismissed for drinking.

Theto ore Severn Important discoveries now receiving the at tcntlon of scientists and experimenters , who almost any day , may stumble upon the rlgln solution ot problems which will yield untold wealth to the discoverer and confer lasting benefits on mankind. The poslblo discoveries of the future , says ( ho Nrtiv York Journal , may make the stcan onglno obsolete , render war Impossible , ar rest the progress of disease , annihilate pov erty and rcduco the hours of labor. ly ) moans ot mechanisms which have hitherto eluded the grasp of the discoverer , men In the near future may get alontf without coal thus saving the expense of mining , and over electricity Keclf may become a back num ber. ber.Thoro There Is , In the first place , the vast prob lem of utilizing the force and power ot the sea. The waves that break upon our At lantic seaboard oxer' . In a single day a great er force than all the steam engine ! ) of the United States combined. Ocean's mighty power , which tosses the largest steamship as a toy , upuulldu vast territories of sand only to destroy thcin again and thunders on a Ice shore with all the violence of the heaven's artllleiy , Is a pitiable ppoctaclo ol wasted energy. The mighty strength of Niagara Is hardly as great as that of the waves on a hundred miles of ceasho.'c. Klcctrlclty , which Is now nbout to dlslrlb ute Niagara's power In the form of heat , light nnd force over a territory of hundreds of square miles , makes It pos3bc : to transport the force of the waves to almost any Inland city. With a machine which would extract this now wasted energy from the sea Now York might bo heated and lighted , and all Its lines ot transportation run ; the trolley es nil over the state could dispense with their useless pouer houses and the myriad wheels In the mills and factories of Albany , Rochester and Buffalo could be turned by this unsean giant. TJ o problem Involved Is merely a mechanical one. You must find a machine which will rise and fall with the tide , and which will bo so strong as to withstand the greatest force of the Incoming breakers. The swells of ocean which now roll In upon a thousand miles of shores must ho stopped and mailo to glvo up their force. The machine which will extract this force from the waves must meet them nnd take It up by preventing them from wasting their strength In simple breakers. A great wheel properly supported and balanced , It would seem , could bo turned by these waves , and each revolution might represent thouoands of tons ot energy. A somewhat similar problem Is how to utilize the mighty force of the tides , which como and go dally with icslstlosi Mow. Look n the water at high tldo" , and Its more weight n a large Inclcsuro represents thousands of horao power , which could be. utilized as the water Is released. This force hao been used in many seaboard countries In a crude and trifling manner , but upon a largo and comprehensive scilo the experiment has never been tried. With these mighty force-proJucors there s another mechanical problem tint goes 'and In hand. Experimenters in electricity arc n w trying to find the Ideal storage bat- .ory. The electrical stoiago battery Is a machine upon whoso discovery many other irobloms are waiting solution. The mech anism that would take the power from the wavcj would bo uneven In its work , accord- ng as the osa wao high or low , but with n iroper storage battery the vast energy of i storm culd be stored to make up for the nefflclencles of the succeeding calm. When ho Ideal storage battery Is discovered the lying machine problem will bo nearly solved. Men are prevented now from flying because he weight ot the propelling tiiglno they mvo to tike along- diminishes the lifting power , and requires gas bags , wings or aero- ilanea too big to bo practicable. If you could take along the power of 1,000 torses stored in a two-pound block of netal , releasing It as required , then flying vould bo within the reach of all. Practicable flying machines would revolutionize warfare. naklng it possible to drop dynamite on armies and men-of-war , so that forts wculd n > o useless and submarine vessels only would 10 cafe. The latter also wait for the storage xittery to be discovered. An intense heat is also wanted. Dy thlu means the sand of the reashoro could be netted Into n. cheap and excellent building materials , , easily handled before the melting nd more .permanent than any brick. A way of making cold as easily and cheaply as heat Is now prrduced , Is also wanted. By his means hourcs could bo cooled In sumner - ner , Just as they are now heated In winter , nd llfo In the hottest parts of the tropics ould bo robbed of many of Its terrors. Portable refrigeration Is another problem onncctcd with this question , Maleable glass was used by the Phoeno- lans , and the secret of how It was made iaa been loet. The rediscovery of this lost ft will revolutionize building. In medicine It is hoped that bacteriology ontalns the germ of a new science which vlll entirely change practice. It Is now be- ioved that every disease has Its microbe , although n few only have been Identified. . With the identification of each disease microbe the discovery of its proper antldoto Is likely soon to follow. Drugs will thug become obsolete and the stomach would no it longer bo destroyed by chemicals , an In- sCataneoua effect being1 secured thsugh the Infusion of the proper antldoto In the ) blood. Telegraphy without wires is a problem upon which Tesla Is working. A means to combat the armyworm Is also wanted , as . well as a thorough system for the disinfec tion of city sewers and a practicable method in of household garbage cremation. Photog n raphy In the colors of nature has long been ' the dream of scientists , but it yet remains mystery. i COMPELLED TO LEAVE TOWN People of Fresno Greatly Excited Over ft Traveling Preacher's ' Remarks.

Peculiar Malady vrllli Which Sallom Are Sometimes Afl'eeleil. Some notable cases of cd called moon- ) llnk , or mon blindness , were reported a cw days ago , the victims being sailors on board the ship El Capltan , which had Just returned to Now York after a long cruise In Chinese and Japnnesa waters. These men , wys the Boston Herald , wcro In the habit ot ylng on the deck at night , w'lth Ihelr faces urnod upward , and ns a result were stricken vlth lemporary bl'ndnesa ' During the day- Imo they could see well enough , bul at night hey c'uld yco nothing. This singular aflllc- lon beset them as long as they remained n the warm countries. As to the cause or Iho exact nature of this llscaso no explanation Is to bo found In medical works. Sailors themselves ballcvo hat It Is caused directly by the moon , and many who have leaked Into the subject of unar Influence agree with them. Ono thing a certain , moon blindness was recognized as curious malady many years ngo , and by no , who evidently wrote cftor careful con- iderallon , was allrlbutcd directly to lunar .a nfluonce. Martin , In hla "History of the \w ) rltlsh Colcnles , " a book published many li ears ago , says : f "I have seen in Africa newly-Jittered oung perish In a few hours at the mother's | oldo If expODed lo Ilia rays of the full moon ; fish become rapidly putrid , and meat , If left 'lf exposed , Incurable or unpreservablc by salt ; J ( the mariner , heedlessly sleeping CH the deck , ,1 becomes afflicted with myctolcgla , ur night 4 | blindness ; at times the face Is hideously nv.-ollen If exposed during sleep to the moon's rays ; the maniac's paroxysms are renow'ed ' with fearful vigor at the full and change , and the cold , damp chill of the ague super venes on the ascendency of this apparently mild yet powerful luminary.
