BLANKS IN MAYFIELD, Bob Blanks, the Mayfield rapist, was carried through Paducah on the train yesterday afieraoon en route from Lonis' , Where he was in- carcerated for safe keeping, to May- field, where he is to be tried for his crime. He was in charge of Adj +|Gen. Collier and the Lexington d| Military company, in command of Capt. Calhoun, the soldiers being »| armed with forty rounds each. n| There were ebout 2000 people around the depot when the prisoner arrived, and there was much coofu- sion, but no hostile demonstrations. Blanks was committed to ja the streets last night were patrolled by soldiers. The case was set for today, but as the Clark case will hardly be finished by tomorrow, the soldiers will prob- ably have to remain for several days. Blanks is greatly frightened, and be- fore he left Loui: le said he didn’t think the soldiers would do bim much good if the people were as ‘sore at bim’’ as when he left. It is generally believed that there will be no trouble. The soldiers are there to protect Blanks, and there could be no demonstration of vio- lence without bloodshed. As the soldiers will remain there as long as Blanks does, and will escort him away whether he is tried and con- victed, or the case is postponed, the only way to hang him would be to overpower the soldiers, and this is hardly probable if possible. The girl :ssaul'ed by Blank Tennie Bailey, was married last week to a man named Bocks, EPWORTH LEAGL There was 9 business meeting of the Epworth League of the Broa way M.

It was reported in Mayfield Sunday that he had been killed in the engagement at Santiago last week, no confirmation of the report has ever been received, and the rumor was doubtless false. PREAK OF NATURE. Mr. Fred Smith, of the county, brought to the Sux office this mors- ing a freak of nature io the shape of an ear of corn that has several small- er ears around the main ear, with tassels growing from each of the smaller ears. It is quite an uousual irregularity. A BIG LIST. There were registered yesterday at the New Richmond hotel, and in ad- dition to the regular boarders, 110 people. This is one of the largest ever registered here in one day by a hotel, AT TBR EAIR GROUND, There wasa large crowd at the fair ground yesterday to spend the fourth.

A Thin Film with a Marv Die play of Tints. M. Henry, professor of phy: siology at the Sorbonne, Paris, has been able apparently to produce colors without the use iy solicine matter. All havo admired at times the beautiful and rich play of colors flashed back when a drop of ila elioaped to Salts iis By a long study of this phenomenon Prof. Henry has been enabled to cateh and perpetuate these hitherto effer- vescent colors, ard to mount them s0 that they can be examined at leisure. The following is the outline of his process, asdescribed in the Repertoire de Pharmacie: The object which he wishes to color—say a sheet of water- proof paper,aplate of glass orasmooth boarats placed in a tank or basin large enough to permit the object to lie flat and level. Water is them let in, through numerous little jets, from the bottom of the tank until the ob- ject is covered to a slight depth. A drop or two of a volatile solution of some gum or resin, insoluble in wa ter, is allowed to drop in the water, and at once spreads itself in a this layer over the surface. When a por- tion of the volatile solvent has evi orated, leaving an exceedingly thin film of the resin (bitumen, asphalt, resin, cte.) reposing on the surface of the water, the professor whistles @ tune over it and the water and the film are thus thrown into rhythmical undulations, each of which represents a certain tone.

The latter is now very gently and slowly withdrawn from the basin, and the film is thus gradually lowered to the surface of the paper, glass or wood object, as the case may be. When it comes into actual contac object carrying the film is and allowed to dry, preserving all the time the marvelous display of colors that is presented while on the water. A recent number of the Repertoire de Pharmacie had as an insert a little sheet of paper thus prepared-—moire, as it is called. As is usual in euch in- ventions, this is probably but the be- ginning of a process that will prove of great value in the arts—indeed, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that the solution of the vexing and hitherto unsolved problem of color photography may be found in this new device of catching and holding nature's colors.—Philadelphia Ree- ord DIFFERENT REGIONS. Bome Seem to Repel and Others to Attract Human Life. Regarded in their relation to man, the different regions of the earth may be arranged under two general ty, Some seem to repel man, who Joes not establish cities or large states in them. Their inhabitants lead a kind of vegetable existence, often as no- mads, always thinly scattered, and poor if not wretched, with no aspira- tions beyond material existence. Oth- er lands, on the contrary, seem to at- tract human life. Men flow to them from all quarters, as the blood from the extremities to the heart. They collect in opulent cities, and build up powerful states in which brilliant civ- ilizations develop. But only a super- ficial glance over history is sufficient to enable us to recognize that these centers of resort and centers of dis- persion change their places in the course of ages; and on every side we behold them undergoing alterations of grandeur and decay; countries once resplendent with glory are now de- serted and wretched, while men are thronging toward regions which they formerly persistently avoided. The reason of these contrasts is to befound in the complex relation between the land and man. If man goes to one place in preference to another, it is be- cause he finds there a fuller satisfac- tion of his desires and wants. To ob tain the largest cum of enjoyment at the p ice of the smallest expenditure of effect is essentially a law of man’s life, We may, therefore, conclude that if man turns away from a region to which he was once attached, it is because the resources have become, in his eyes, relatively less valuable.—M.

Are Becoming Prominent Again Both ia England and United States. Double stacks for locomotives have latterly again become prominent. Both in at Britain and in the United States experiments have been made with them for the past year or two—on the London & Northwest ern railway, under the supervision of Mr. F. W. Webb, the well-known chief mechanical suy ndent of that line, and on the Toledo, Peoria & Western and th Louis, Chicago & St. Paul railways—and the resul generally, appear to have been favor- able to their use. On the London & Northwestern road the stack, in out- ward appearance, looks like an ordi- nary one, flattened at the sides, the larger axis running in the direction of the length of the boiler, but there are two openings for the exhaust, one for cach opening in the stack. The smoke-box is divided into two sep- arate chambers by a horizontal plate, and one of the stacks passes down through this partition into the bot- tom chamber, so as to bring its in- fluence to bear on the lower tubes, while the exhaust through the other stack is intended to produce a pull through the upper tubes. In the American engines there is no parti- tion in the smoke-box, and the stack is placed with its larger axis running crosswise of the boiler, the special ob- ject aimed at in this case being an equal distribution of draught between the center and tie outer flues instead of between the top and bottom ones. Judged offhand alone, both dev tommend themselves favorably, the British one, perhaps, more so than the American one because of its par- tition feature, which would seem to insure greater certainty of the equal- ization desired, and the test figures thus far available show a very accept- able percentage of coal-saving over the usual single-stack arrangement It is not unlikely, therefore, that more will be seen and heard of the new pract Cassier’s Magaaine, The New Offic> | Boy, A raw country lad engaged as office doy to a Belfast firm, and on the see- ond day was sent to answer a tele- hone call.
