Chicago instead of San Francisco
as originally intended. The reason
of this change is because of the
great demand for money to assist
in the prohibitory amendment
campaigns being held in the East
ern states. Our women are con
tributing liberally and feel that
they cannot meet the expense of a
trip (o California this year. Of
course we must be satisfied to
serve the best interest of the whole,
although we quietly sigh over our
disappointment.

ACCIDESTS Do THE WORK.
In the w orld of human progress
and inventive genius, it is aston
ishing to learn how much of what
in useful is due to purely accidental
discoveries. Many of the most
useful of medical applications are
the results of accidental discoveries.
Tho use of the modern fire proof
sa:e came from a monk washing his
uands in a basin of water and then
attempting to heat the water on a
stove without removing the sedi
ment from the basin. Much of
telegraphic invention arises from
accidental discoveries. In 1840
Werner Siemens, of Berlin, dis
covered the non-conducting pro
perty of gutta-percha. He coated
several miles of copper wire with
gutta-percha, and submerged it in
the Rhine from Deutz io Cologne,
Electric communication was thus
established beneath the waterfrorn
shore to shore. In 1S"0 a submarine
cable was laid across the English
Channel from Dover to Cape
risnez. It consisted of a half
inch copper wire covered with
nothing but gutta-percha, and
loaded with lead to keep it down.
The communication was perfect for
a day, and then the wire refused
to act. The electrical engineers
were unable to explain the facts
At last the mystery was dissipated
by a fisherman. A French fisher
man set his trawl ofTCape Grisnez.
When he hauled it in, he picked
up the submerged cable, from
which he cut off a piece. This
piece he carried in triumph to
Boulogne, where he exhibited it as
a specimen of rare seaweed with its
center filled with gold. The ignor
ant man had mistaken the copper
wire :or gold, but unwittingly he
had served the electricians. They
saw from the accident that it was
not sufficient perfectly to insulate
the cable, but that it must also be
protected. In 1851 there was laid
across the channel a cable 24 miles
long, consisting of font copper
wires, insulated by gutta-percha,
covered with tarred yarn, and pro
tected by an outer covering, of
galvanized irom wires. That suV
marine cable proved a success, and
ocean telegraphy became possible
through an accident which com
pelled invention.
At the called meeting of the W.
C. T. U. Friday afternoon a propo
sition was submitted to the union
by Co. F, O. N. (., to entertain
the militia companies, to be in Al
bany on tin? Fourth of July. After
some. li.-:cus.-ion and explanations
given by Messrs. Overman and
Brink, the union decided to give
the militia a substantial, warm
dinner and supper on that day. In
voting to entertain tho militia, the
ladie3 expressed themselves as
anxious to maintain the reputation
Albany has already established for
hospitality, good vituals and plenty
of them. About 200 men are ex
pected, and it is the-intention to
serve the public generally, after
the militia are provided for. Our
women will see that this is no
small undertaking. But when we
consider that we can lessen the
debt on our hall, perhaps .$200,
i surely, not one will falter or offer a
demur. The soliciting committee
will wait upon our members and
friends, asking contribution of food
soon, and Ave hope each person
called upon will esteem it a privi
lege, as well as a duty to give
liberally, as the food provided is to
entertain the guests of Albany and
the money obtained is to liquidate
the debt on a hall, which is a use
ful and necessary building and
adds to the appearance of our city.
Phil Armour offers to buy of the
city of Chicago a lot on the Lake
front and build thereon an Indus
trial training school for boys and
girls.
The W. C. T. IT. of Minneapolis
will soon open a large coffee palace
where two thousand people can be

The belligerency of the com
mandant of a F.ritish man-of-war
at Victoria, Jiritish Columbia, has
stirred up considerable comment.
But his prompt suppression by hi?
own government removes all
thought of any conflict to grow out
of his alcoholic inspired bravado.
The conduct of matters in Uehrings
jea has a wider significance than is
embodied in a suppositious trial
of power between the United States
and Great Britian. In the absence
of iny international settlement of
thj p.liee jurisdiction in Beliring
j-ea, the courts of the I'nited States
must deal primarily with any
alleged infractions of law in those
waters, just as they dealt with
prbw cases during the war. If our
local low is not conformable to in
ternational law (.Jieat Britain can
show that fact in subsequent pro
ceedings. There is not the least
occasion to apprehend armed con
licf between the crusiers of the
two countries, but the situation
calls for an early ascertainment of
the best means of preserving the
race of fur-bearing seals from de
struction. In this all nations arc
interested. It is a scientific ques
tion, and ought to be examined
and reported upon by an impartial
Kcientific commission. There is
every reason to belieye that Great
Britain, Russia, and Japan as well
as the I'nited states would agree
to any measures recommended by
such a commission.
