There is a class of persons in the states to whom the direct protection of the United States is due, though no proper legislation has yet been passed to make it effective. 1 refer to the citizens of foreign count who, under treaties we have with such countries, are domiciled in the states, and to whom such treaties guarantee the pro- tection of the law. As yet Congress has rot legislated to give the United States courts jurisdiction of prosecutions for offenses against such persons, in derogation of their treaty rights. The killing of some Italian subjects in New Orleans, in March, 1591, and the demand of the Italic for the punishment of th for an indemnity, brought this strange and unsatisfactory condition of things very strongly to the attention of our xovern- ment. The United States had made a treaty with Italy giving certain rights to the subjects of that kingdom living country. Yet when the demand w that the offenders should be t ished we could only say the United is powerless; we have left that to th authorities and can only suggest Uhat pro- ceedings be taken by the This was mani- unsatisfactor: The United tes le the treaty.

The X rays are as yet unexplained, but the suggestion, beginning with Prof. Rontgen himself, has more than once been made that they are longitudinal rather than transverse vibrations. It is difficult to dis- tinguish a longitudinal displacement of the ether from an electric current, as far as it goes. Itis a well-known method of exterm!- nating hair, that of sending a current to its reots by a needle. If any such quasi-electric rrent has resulted from the X rays the effect upon thevhair might be thus accounted for. The intensity of the discharge was not sufficient to heat the tube except very slight- ly; and the occasional small electrostatic spark from the surface of the tube to the hair, but which was hardly noticeable, will also not account for this effect.” eae THE DELINEOSCOPE. A Useful Invention for Making Field Maps. From the Railway Review. This instrument is designed, among other uses, to assist the military surveyor by enabling him to construct maps from iand- scape sketches, It greatly simplijies and expedites triangulation, and saves much time in plotting. It :s a portable instru- ment, requiring the service of only cne man, and consists of a smuil camera, hav- ing a lens with a ‘fixed"focus on a tripod stand. The lems is dixexc2d downward, and carries beneath it d mirror :nelined to the axis of théJens at aa angle of forty- five. This throws a :tue picture cf the landscape on to a pleze of tracing paper, secured by a ffame on a horizontal object glass. By meahs of a focusing cloth the picture is transferred to the puper with a pencil. The paper is then taken out and reversed over a graticule on a white card, which divides into large and small squares, and then copied into a sketch book ruled in similar squares. The graticule is mede of a size to embrace exactly thirty of the horizon, and two such eketwhes fill one page of the sketch book. After transfer to the sketch book the landscape is fin- ished by eye, accorcing to the ability of the draughtsman, but a very simple cut- line sketch is all that is necessary. On completion of the sketch it is only neces- sary to take with a prismatic compass the bearing of any perpendicular line—say, the center line—and by means of a simple scale of half degrees on a card the bearing of every other point in the skeich may be as- certained. This will be found an immense saving of time, and, moreover, has this ad- vaniage that the map can be made trom point for a hasty reconnaissance, seta Tasha a Frighifally Swelled.
