obscurity with tho obsolete llint arrow-head,
livery electrician, when
that time come.", will have hi plant
for making tho life of his enemy
olectrically uncomfortable. Here
is one article of defence which I
have in mind. I have never writ
ton or wtoken of it before. With
twonty-live men in a fort I can
mako'tliat fort absolutely impreg
nable, co far as an assault is con
cerned, and I should only need
twenty-live men lo do it. This is
not guesswork, but a matter of
tfciunttlic certaintv. .Some vears
ago, when tho wires loaded will
hoavv electrical chargea began to
go underground, I predicted that
thero would be danger to the lire-
inen receiving a deadly hliock bv
the clectricitv running down the
Htreams of water which might cross
the wires. In each fort I would put
an alternating machine of i.0,000
volts' capaeitv. One wire would be
grounded am! a man would govern
a fttrcam of water of about ItK)
pounds pressure to the square inch,
with which the '2(),(X,HJ volt alternat
ing current would bo connected.
The man would simply move this
Htream of water back and forth with
his hand, playing on an enemy and
mowing them down with absolute
precision. Kvery man touched by
tho water would complete tho cir
cuit, get tho full force of the alter
nating current and never know what
happened to him. The men trying
to take a fort by assault, though
tho y may come by tens of thousands
against a handful, would be cut to
tho ground beyond any hoito of es
cape. Foreign soldiers undertaking
to whip America could walk around
mioli a fort as mine, but they could
never get through it. It would not
be uecchsary to deal out absolute
death unless the ojK-rator felt like
it. lie could modify the current
ho as to simply stun overylody, and
then might walk outside his fort
and pick up the stunned generals
and others worth keeping for ran
dom or exchange, lie could also
make prisoners of the others if con
venient or if not convenient turn on
the full force of tho current, plav
the hone uu them onc more and
bond them to tho
grounds for good,
that would make

Tho ipieetion of regulating the
character of tho immigration com
ing to this country is becoming
more serious all the time. It is cer
tainly true that the United States
cannot safely admit immigrants
who are mi alien in character and
ancestry that thoy cannot or will
not adopt our customs. There is
still room for industrious and in
telligent immigrants from countries
which allow their people some de
gree of be If government. It is
doubtful whether wo can safely ad
mit argo numbers from any coun
try in which th people do not enjoy
a voice in their own government.
Wherever the mass of a people nro
fitted for sell government they will
not iiermit themselves to be wholly
deprived of it.
There are venly young men and
decrepit "old veterans" all over tho
country who aro rushing into print
to tell how anxious they am to go
to Chili, and who no doubt feel that
their oilers of service to the presi
dent will htilli'ii up his back and
make him feel safe in entering tixn
a war. It can bo put down as a
Hafo proposition that when tho time
comes for actual war, tho country
will get better service out of tho.se
who keep their mouths u!ood
about the great things they aro able
to do than it will from tho men who
aro so eager to let it bo known that
thoy aro lighter. Such men aro
generally hunting fur tsoniiniteions.

A KAK MICK'S CRIMIt.
A dispatch from Nova Scotia says"
TIkmiia K. Coulter, ".") years" ot je
decrepit, crippled and partially in
snne, fell out with his khi William
January 'J I, of lat year The two
lived on adjoining farms. In a
quarrel over a load of hay. William
shot his father dead with a rille.
No one witumved the tragedy, and
tho son, by a cleverly-planned
serif of lies, managed to clear him
self of tlie. charge when lie was
tried for murder. In spile of a
strong puspiciou against him, he
wa admitted by the jury and dis
charged. The matter was nearly
forgotten until two or three days ago
when news spread around the
neighlioring farms that Coulter was
attending revival meetings which
were living conducted at a pchool
houe near Coulter's farm. The
suspicion arose that a confession
might result, and for tun nights the
schoolhouse was packed. haft
night Coulter went on the mourners'
lieneh and was finally moved by the
spirit. Two exhorters, who had
been nrayini with nun lor over an
hour, htepjicd aside and said he had
something to say. Loulter arose
and amid the most inteii) excite
said the Lord had told lirni to con
fess that he had murdered his aged
father. As he proceeded he grew
greatly excited, and he fairly shriek-
I'd out that after shooting the old
man he had iiouudeil his head al
most to a jelly with the heavy end
of an a. lie said he had crjured
himself on the trial and had pur
chased tho evidence of two witness
es, lie outlined every step he had
taken to outwit the authorities.
Coulter closed with the outburst:
"Thank (!od, I'm saved. I'm
ready to go to state prison or to he
hanged, but I know my sin will he
pardoned. Wash me and I shall
lie whiter than snow, has been my
prayer, and it is answered. Praise
(oil, I'm going to gel to heaven,
even if I have to go through state
prison to do it. I'm saved, but a
murderer."
There was a hcuno of frenzied ex
citement at the conclusion of the
confession. There was some talk of
lyntdiing, and Coulter was hurried
out by a back door by those in
charge of tho meeting. He was
then placed in jail. The prosecut
ing attorney is looking up tho mat
ter with a view of beginning pro
ceedings against Coulter. As he
has once lecn acquitted, a trial on
tho charge of lieriurv will bo the
only one jiossihlo.
TII1CRI1 IS A CAUSIt,
Within live minutes of the time a
woman lell dead in asmngtou
Square, New York City, thieves had
gotten her MK'ket look and stripped
her lingers of valuable rings, and yet
in this same town the riehrst men
on earth are found, who consume,
hut produce nothing, and editors,
ministers, lawyers and other profes
sional gentlemen "earn" as much
as f2",lKHI a yeur. So the profes-i-ional
thief selects the game field in
which to ply his oH'rations, al
though in a coarser, more vulgar
and offensive way. As intelligence
spreads and U-comes more general
the ranks of the professions, privi
leged classes, as well as tho "birds
of prey," will I hi thinned out, and
the burdens which weigh down man
kind will lie lightened with Im-ucIH
to every living fcoul. At present we
all mh darkly. Wo look at things
narrowly and through hcdiuimod
sM'ctacles. The thief presence
tells us plainly that ignorance an I
brutality is still triumphant; that
our dealings with one another are
only a fow degreoB removed from
what is known as thieving getting
something for doing nothing tak
ing when wo do not create. U. O.
