BERLIN,»N0V. 2.—Throughout the week
all Germany has been agog, awaiting fur-
ther indiscretions upon the part of Prince
Bismarck’s organ, The Hamburger Nach-
richten. It is learned upon excellent au-
thority that additional revelations will
shortly appear about the past and present
relations between Germany and the allied
powers, as well as Russia and Great Bri-
tain, unless the government directly inter-
feres and prevents it.
The betrayal of the Russo-German treaty
has created intense excitement in political
circles, especially among the members of
the reichstag and bundesrath, and unless
oflicial explicit explanations of the inside
facts are given the government will be
questioned in the reichstag shortly by the
Centre, backed by the Socialists and Lib-
erals, on the plea that unless the govern-
ment explains the matter, the faith of her
allies in her sincerity will be seriously
shaken.
Emperor William is known to be ex-
tremely indignant at the article in The
Hamburger Nachrichten, and an interview
with a German statesman, published in
the Vienna Neue Frie Presse, dated Ham-
lhurg, shows that the government has seri-
ously meditated taking criminal proceed—
ings against the author of the article, un-
der the so called Arnim paragraph of the
criminal code. which deals with divulging
state secrets. But, it is stated, an inquiry
showed that Count Herbert Bismarck was
the responsible party and not his father,
who replied to the official inquiries that
he, personally, had no hand in the matter.
At a special meeting of the staatsrath
on Thursday the proposed prosecution was
discussed, but no decision was taken.
The whole matter is regarded by the gov-
ernment as being of the utmost impor-
tance and as jeopardizing the continuance
of the dreibund. Both on Wednesday and
Thursday the chancellor, Prince Hohen-
lobe, had lengthy interviews with Baron
Szvechenzi and frankly stated the present
attitude of Germany toward her allies and
the other powers, and the Austrian embas‘
sador is reported to have been satisfied at
the loyalty of the present government.
Prince Hohenlohe and Baron Marschal
yon Bieberstein, the minister for foreign
affairs, have had a conference on the same
subject with Emperor William.
Italy has been more or less ignored in
the present matter, as it appears to be
recognized that Italy, while she nominally
adheres to the dreibund, seeks an entente
and closer commercial relations with
Erance.
The entire Gert;;rm press has devoted
. more space to these 1:... elations than to any
tepic for several years past. The Centrist
and Liberal press have plainly charged
the government with duplicity and disloy-
alty to its allies.
Agreement Between Germany and Russia.
An understanding has now been reached
between Germany and Austria to cease
the payment of sugar export bounties if
the simultaneous adhesion of France can
be secured, as appears likely. In the mean-
while the foundation of two German sun-
ar syndicates is announced. One, purely
internal, comes in force in 1897, and the
other comprises the raw sugar manufac-
turers only. with the object to control the
world’s market. The first syndicate aims
to monopolize the retail trade and raise
prices.
During his recent visit to the Krupp
works at Essen, Emperor William is re
ported to have said to his entourage:
“God forbid that war 'should come, but
there is a feeling of safety in seeing such
excellent war material.”
His majesty has visited the studios of a
number of Berlin sculptors who are exe-
cuting the first six of the Hohenzollern
monuments which are to be placed in the
Sieges Allee (Triumphal avenue) at the
expense of the emperor, who expressed his
satisfaction at the rapid progress of the
work.
The French Transatlantic Steamship
company has notified the German compa-
nies that it is willing to join in a pool to
raise passenger rates to America, and a
bigincrease in passage rates will be short-
ly enforced.
A general movement has been organized
in favor of the suppression of dueling :in
Germany. Monster petitions are being
circulated by the central committee at
Gotha. and the provincial synods of Prus-
sia have passed resolutions to the same ef-
fect. All these petitions and resolutions
will be read in the reichstag next month.
The petitions cite the case of Lieutenant
Bruesewitz, who killed a civilian with his
sword because the man had unintention-
ally knocked against a chair upon which
the officer was sitting, and they ask for a
revision of the privileges of officers re-
specting their relations to civilians.
The management of the Bayreuth Fest-
spiels has resolved to repeat it next year,
with eight performances of “Parsifal” and
three of the “Nibelungen Ring,” which
will be given between July 21 and Aug. 19.
The inefficiency of the police, shown by
numerous undetected crimes, including
eight murders within the last 18 months,
has resulted in a decision to reorganize
the force and abolish the present central-
iz..tion and military discipline.
The elections to the provincial diet of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha have resulted in
the defeat of the Strenges ministry. Nine-
teen opposition candidates against 11 Min-
istorialists were elected.
Veterinary Professor Eggeling, who re-
turned here some time ago from America,
has reported against the claim of Mr. Bob-
ert F. Kneebs. the American horseman,
that his mare on the Dakota stud farm is
the genuine Bethel, which it was claimed
he entered in races here under the name
of Nellie Kneebs.
International (Jo-operative Congress.
PARIS, Nov. 2.—The International Co-
.eperative congress, Which has just closed
its session here, elected Messrs. Nelson
and James Rhodes to be the representa-
tives of the United States on the central
committee in London.
Serious Fire In Buffalo.
BUFFALO, Nov. 2.——The extensive plant
of the Buffalo Brass and Iron Bedetead
company on Barton street was destroyed
by fire. The loss is estimated at $35,000,
partly covered by insurance.

YOU CAN SEE SOUND.
MARVELOUS EXPERIMENTS; WITH
THE PHOTOGRAPHIC LENS.
The Humming of 8 Bullet and Arrow
Headed “'aves in the Atmosphere Pro-
duce Slround Photographs that Are Begu-
lar and Systematic.
If the human eye goes‘on increasing
in usefulness as it has been doing of
late it is not at all improbable that
eyesight will usurp the functions of
hearing. In the past a sound has
been heard only. Marvelous to relate,
it has been found possible to see a
sound and to photograph it in its
course. This discovery, following
closely as it does upon the X ray and
other remarkable discoveries, has set
the scientific world to thinking what
new problems are left for men to
solve. ' '
This latest sensation in science, ac-
cording to the. Vaughn and Cornish
M. Sc, shows that if a photogr::phic
lens be turned on a bullet in its night
through the air, the photographic
plate shows that a dark line of com-
pressed air can be seen in front of
the ball. In the path of a bullet on
which a lens was turned, in the course
of a series of exhaustive experiments.
just made public, the hole cut in the
air by the projectile could be dis-
tinctly seen closing up as the atmos-
pheric waves subsided and the sepa-
rated air came together again. It be—
ing necessary to bring Some sort of
light ,to bear upon the bullet in its
flight, an electric spark was formed
by an ingenious method, and by send»:
ing the bullet past two wires that
completed an electric current a p110-
tograph was obtained by the light of
the spark thus created.
This showed an interesting state of
things. Besides the dark line formed
by the piled up atmosphere in front
of the bullet and the smokclike air
waves in the rear, there appeared on
the plate an arrow headed wave that
was caused by the hum of the bullet.
The hum broke the atmosphere into
arrow headed sections that could be
distinctly seen on the plate.
A comparison with the time when
the sound was heard with the time
when the sound couldgbe seen on the
photographic plate proves that the
soldier who “ducks” when he hears
the whiz of a bullet is wasting en’
ergy, for the bullet has passed when
the sound is heard. Experiments
with bullets of greater velocity showed
that the arrow headed waves were
always of the same shape, but with
an increase of impact they became
sharper at the point.
The difierence between waves of
the sea and sound waves, as shown
by these interesting experiments, is
that there is no noisy moving back-
ward and forward and tossing tu-
multuously as with water. The air
particles burst asunder by the impact
of the projectile scatter into the at-
mosphere, thus producing a greater
density. This action goes on contin-
ually in front of the bullet and on
either side.
The air wave transmits its energy
to the neighboring layer of air, which,
being thus compressed, becomes in its
turn the wave front.
The air waves, now that man can
see them by the aid of a photographic
lens, are shown to be regular and sys-
tematic in their habits. When dis-
tributed by the flight of the bullet
they scatter in arrow "headed waves
until the disturbing element has
passed on, when the layers of air re-
coil in their former position. The mo-
tion of the air particles was found to
be wholly forward and back to rest
along the same path.
At liIidnight. '
The pedestrian kept on with dogged
determination, a hunted look on his
haggard face. Since midnight he had
walked, walked until footsore, his
tired limbs scarce able to carry him
further and his arms aching under
the heavy burden, its weight seeming-
ly increased tenfold even during the
last hour. And then that piercing cry
in the stillness of the night, that
shriek as of one in dire pain, and
another and another! For one moment
he paused, then, hatless and coatless,
be pressed on, still on, a tiny, flicker-
ing light his only beacon and his goal,
far, so far off it seemed. Oh, when
would he reach it? Again that ghastly
wail, its wavering notes chilling his
blood and striking into his heart a
dread. But hark! What was that?
A woman’s voice! It broke through
the gloom, at first feebly, then de-
spairingly.
“It’s no use, John. Give the baby
nine drops of paregoric, and see if that
won’t stop him!”
He Know His Mother.
Mrs. Williams is a widow with three
boys, whom she has brought up with
great fit mness. It is one of her rules
that obedience to her commands must
come immediately, and explanation, if
at all, at her leisure.
“Freddy,” she said a short time ago,
to her youngest boy, aged seven.
“I am going to do something in a, few
days about which I want to talk to
you a little.”
“Yes’m,” responded Freddie,
meekly. .1
“I am intending to marry Dr. Morse
next week on Monday,” said his moth-
er, and then she paused for a. mo
ment. '
“Yes’m,” said Freddy again, and
then he. added, with a look of awe
on his small face: “‘I s’pose Dr. Morse
won’t know anything about it till the
time comes, will he, mother.”
