Hearst Carries Most Cities, But Total la Against Him. Now York, Nov. 7. According to returns received up to an early hour this morning, Charles E. Hughos, Re publican candldato for Governor, has been elected by 50,000 or moro plural ity. Outsldo of Greater Now York, with 1G0 election districts missing, Mr. Hughes has a plurality of about 124, 000. In Creator Now York with G9 election districts missing, W. R. Hearst, tho Domocratlo nnd Independ ence LenGtio candldato, has n plurality of 76,030. Mr. Hearst carried all tho boroughs of tho groatcr city, despite tho fact that tho early roturns seemed to lndlcnto that ho had lost Brooklyn. No dcflnlto figures nro yot available as to tho results with regard to tho stnto olllcors, and both Democrats and Republicans nro claiming victories from Lieutenant-Governor down. The Indications aro that tho Stnto Legislature will show llttlo chango in Its political make-up. Tho Tammany Judiciary ticket In Now York County, with tho exception of Otto RosaUky for General Sessions Judgo, Ropubllcnn, has boon elected. Tho Judiciary nominators' tickot was defeated. Stato Chairman Max F. Ihmson, of the Independence Leaguo, claims that Hearst has been elected. He sent out late last night telegrams to all Inde pendence League watchers to bo on guard to bcq that tho voto counted. was New York, Nov. 8. According to in complete returns from all qvcr. tho stato rccolved up to 10:30 p. m., Charles E. Hughes, tho Republican candldato, has been elected Govornor of Now York stnto over William Ran dolph Hearst, tho nomtnoo of the Democratic party and tho Independ ence Leaguo, by approximately a plur ality of 40,000. Two years ago Gov ernor Hlgglns was eloctcd on tho Re publican ticket by 80,560. Somo doubt waa expressed tonight as to tho fate ot tho Democratic and Independence Leaguo tickets outside of Mr. Hearst, soveral of the New York newspapers which have been support ing Mr. Hughes doclarlng that there waa a chance for the subordinate offi cers of tho Domocratlo and Independ ence Leaguo combination having been elected. The latest figures seems to indicate that Mr. Hughes' plurality above the Bronx exceed 115,000. To offset this, Mr. Hearst's plurality in Greater New York will probably be from 75,000 to 80,000. In Brooklyn, where Sonator Patrick H. McCarren mndo a bitter fight against Mr. Hearst, the latter carried the borough by a small plurality, prob ably 4,000. At ono time it soomed that Hughes had been successful In Brook lyn, but the late returns were all strongly in favor of the Democratio candidate. Mr. Hearst has boon given a major ity of nearly 70,000 in Manhattan ana the Bronx. Queens county, which In cludes Long Island City, has gone for Hearst by from 6,000 to 8.000, and Richmond, Staten Island, has also given the Democratic candidate a plurality. Boys Shot By Courtmartlal. 8t. Petersburg, Nov. 9. Tho Riga correspondent of the Bourse Gazette sends a harrowing description of tho recent execution of three young boys, convicted by court-martial of robbery and condemned to death. Tho children were placed against a wall In tho courtyard of tho barracks, and their pitiable appearance so unnerved the trooos that they fired wildly, and sev eral volleys were necessary before the little fellows were finally killed. The City of Riga is greatly wrought up over the bloodthirsty Justice. In California. Baa Francisco. Nov. 6. From mea- ?:er retarne received from various sec leas of the state up to 10 p. m., Gil tott, Republican, for Governor, Is prob ably elected by about 10.000 majority. with Bell, Democrat and Union Labor, ana Langaon, independence J Modeling in brendcrunvbs, which nre tonked lu liquids of various colors nnd are mado clastic and almost unbreak able by n special process, Is tho curious new art of Suzauuo Meyer, n French woman. The human breath has been found to be a fair conductor of electricity, n spnrk from a Wlmshurst machine being longer In breathed than In pure nlr. I Investigating further, Dufour has con cluded that the lung nnd skin exhala tions sensibly Increase tho leakago from an electrically charged body, and It ls suggested that the vapors rising 'abovo n Hock of sheep or cattle may explain tho tendency of lightning to strike tho huddled animals. A novel chnrgo Is brought against the common bedbug (Clmox lectulurhm) by .Dr. w. J. Goodhue, medical superin tendent of tho Molokal leper settlement, who regards It as a chief agent in Jsprcudlng leprosy. It Is believed to uuvo greater influence than tbo gnat, 'or It comes noiselessly, and during the pntlont's sleep, nnd bedding among lepers Is too little disinfected. After long ri-fconroh Dr. Goodhue hns don-on- strated the presenco of tho baclllui of leprosy lu tho mosquito (Culcx puu gens) as well ns lu tho bedbug. An Ingenious apparatus for drawing the profllo of a river bottom Is used by Italian engineers. It constats of a wheel affixed to tho bottom of a graduated rod, which ls fastened vertically nt tho side of a boat lu such a manner thnt as the boat advances up or down or across stream, tho wheel at (ho end of tho rod runs continually upon tho bot tom, the rod rising and falling with variations of level. By noting tho depth at chosen Intervals of time, tho ele ments are 'obtained for tracing nu ac curate representation of all the sinuosi ties of the bottom ot tho river, nnd tho variations of depth.

Guriunuy has for some tluiu ikjuscmhihI n dozen factories for the liquefaction of carbonic ncld gas iHsulug from tho earth lu tho neighborhood of extinct volcanoes. Last summer a largo fac tory of the same kind was opened near the Puy do Dome, a famous extinct vol cauo lu central France. The liquid ob tained by tho condensation ot these vol canic ganes ls said to bo purer thau that produced by solely chemical proc esses. From an excavutlou at Alguo pcrso, near tho Puy do Dome, tho quan tity of gas given forth" every day Is reckoned nt about half a million liters. The place Is known ns tho "poison foun tain," und tho bones ot many animals havo been found In tho excavation, In cluding thoso of a horao, a bison aud u mammoth. According to Cosmos, tho employment of circular disks of Iron, turning with great velocity, but possessing no teeth on tho edgo, for sawing metal, has bo como common In many workshops. Among othor places whoro such saws without teeth aro used Is tho celebrated Krupp gun works, where armor pinto Is sometimes cut In this manner. Tho process Is not a nowly discovered one. As long ago ns 1821 Dnrrlcr and Colla tion, at Gonova, experimented wltji swiftly rotating disks of Iron. They found that when n disk about seven Inches ln diameter turned with n per ipheral velocity of ten motors per sec ond, It could bo cut with a steel tool pressed against it, but thnt when tho velocity was Increased to tweuty-ouo meters per second tho Iron was unaf fected, but the steel tool was damaged. At a velocity of sixty meters per second the Iron disk even cut quartz and agate. IN Q HEAT OCBAN DEPTHS. Soma KavUM M IIImm of k a Have Emptor.

Close to the land there Is somewhat more variety. The Euro pean plateau slopes gradually away down Into the depths and a fair view can be obtained here, provided a maxi mum depth at 1,800 feet be not ex ceeded. At first abundant vegetation and ani mal life are met with, but below the depth mentioned the aceue changes; first the light grows dimmer and dim mer and the deeper we descend the lower de the thermometer fall, except In the case of the Mediterranean, whero the temperature Is, relatively speaking, high, as this sea la contained lu what la practically a closed basin. In tho Atlantic the temperature of tbo water was taken for a depth of 10,08(1 feet The surface temperature of 08 degrees fell to 88 degrees at a depth of 0,602 feet After 0,602 feet the temperature falls, but slowly as greater depths are attained, the cold being practically uni form and not subject to, any changes of season.
