P \INVASION OF AMERICA German Idea of How Our Coun- ; try Could Be Conquered. 'MO ATTEMPT ON THE INTERIOR, \Moutenant von Edelsheim, sn Army Officer, Clnimas That After American ' Fleet Had Been Destroyed One - Army Corps Would Land at an Un- expected Point and Reduce Us to 'Texnus. A scheme for the invasion of the United States by a German army has ' been prepared by Lieutenant you Edel- ~ghoim of the general staff of the Ger- man army. 'The author presupposes a victory by the imperial army, and, in- ~deed, would dispatch his army of in- vasion confidently toward America in the wake of the warships, says the New York Journal, He thinks our ~ regular troops available for defense would amount to not more than 20,000 men, and feels little fear of volunteers 'or militia because the national guard «lid not, as a wholo, offer its services for the war with Spain, and because ' they aro \badly armed and drilled.\ 'The strategist outlines bis plan in an essay which he has caused to be pub- lished in Berlin. - War against the United States of North America would be carried on un- dor conditions | necessarily | different from those of a campaign against Eng- land, In recent years wo have had several «bccaslons of political difficulties with that nation, for the most part arising wout of commercial questions. Until the present time these difficulties have been smoothed over by concessions on our part, But since there Is a limit to concessions wo may ask what pow- -orful means wo can make use of, if need arise, to clheck the action of the United States against our Interests; in other words, to Impose our will on them by force. Now, our first element of power is -our navy, It has every prospect of ~combating with success the naval forces of the United States, dispersed as they are over two oceans. But it Is evident, in view of the vast extent of territory and the immense resources of the United States, that a naval de feat would not be decisive. Hor the very reason of the great ex- tout of the United States an invasion of the interlor is not to be considered sorlously, but there would be chances of success in striking blows upon the seacoast and cutting the great nrterles of exportation and Importation so as to paralyze the industrial and commer- clal life of the United States, which would oblige that power to porco. If the mobilization of the transport squadron and the corps of Invasion be- gan at the moment of departure of our fighting fleet for American waters, It will be admitted that the invading troops might come Into action on Amer- fern soll at the end of about four wacks. The United States are not in a condition to bring into opposition within an equal time an army equal An numbers to our corps of Invasion. Actually the regular army of the United States Is on a footing of 65,000 men, but of this number there are not more than 80,000 available for the de- fonse of the mother couritry,. Besides that, there must be deducted from that number fit least 10,000 men who can- not bo spatied from survyelllance of the Indian territories and from the marl- time defenges. There remain, then, only 20,000 regu- lar troops for the actual campaign. Wrue, there nro besides about 100,000 militia, but in thoe late war the greater part did not answer the call. Because of the length of the voyage the transportation of the German troops could not be done by surprise, but stilll the landing could be accom- plished suddenly at fin unexpected point of the const. When we consider that tho Americans. have no plan of mobilization well worked out in time 'of peace and take Into account also the inexperience and weakness of the regu- iur army of the United States, we may confidently hope that a corps of in- vaslon, operating with suddenness, would have chances of success. We could not dream, of course, of permanent occupation of any great #xtent of American territory, which would require an army of too high ef- fectiveness, but It would be feasible to ccetipy the principal cities. A sorles of coast landings, using comparatively small forces, could be applied to this purpose. It would be difficult for the Americans to oppose thom with success. Although their oxcollent system of rallways would en- ablo tho Americans to concentrate in short timo troops at the threatened points on the codst, the Invader, by felnts of landing now at one point. now at another, could at last attain hig end with the co-operation of the naval force. ‘ The corps of Invasion could even tike the offensive against the ene. my's forces while the latter were yet fraperfectly concentrated, or he could avold an attack on their part by re- embarking and moving away to land at still another polat. It is well to remark here that Ger- miny Is the only great power in post- tion slugle handed to attack the Unit- ed States. England in case of war with that nation could only galt guc- <oss on the sen. She wotld be power- tess to defend Canrda, where the Amorleans could make good thetr mar- itime reverses. Finally no other great power than Germany has of her own sufficient transport vessels to under- take such an operation as here de- seribed. ce THE LOCKPORT JOURNAL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25. 1901. ** ANALYZING Lig@HTNING.**~ First Lightning Spectrum Photos Open Xew Field of Inquiry. Some years ago the first photographs of lightning attracted great attention, but it is now anpounced that a much more difficult photographic feat-cap- turing by the aid of the camera not the lightning flash Itself, but the spectrum of the flash-has been successfully ac- complished. 'The photographs were obtained last summer at the Harvard observatory in Cambridge, Mass., but public state- ment of the fact has been delayed until this month. 'The photographer was Mr, J. H. Freese. Three negatives were secured in July and one in September. The process by which they were taken was not unlike that of taking a snap- shot with a pocket camera, except that the apparatus was larget than the photographer. Where the flash would come could only be guessed at, and the photographic instrument was control- led, therefore, not by clockwork, as is usual in photographing stars, but by hand. 'The flash itself, once it came in the field of the telescope, was an auto- matic or natural flashlight. The sit- uation, however, was complicated by the frct that the prism necessary to secure a spectrum refracted the light- ning, the lightning flash entering and leaving the prism at an angle, so that the telescope had to be aimed not at the flish itself, but a certain number of degrees to one side of it. A prism, of course, breaks up the ob- ject photographed into parallel bands of color, which indicate the physical composition of the star or lightning flash, or whatever it may be, and which rre seen In the photograph by differ- ences in degree of black and white. The element of hydrogen, which is found in the spectra of nearly all stars and has been discovered through these photographs to be a part of the light- ning as well, produces a series of well marked lines quite different from those made by the element of {ron, for exam- ple. The bydrogen lines of the lightning flash, it may be noted, are very much like those shown by the spectra of \new\ stars, like Nova Persel, to name the last one discovered. 'The spectrum of the star, however, shows these lines dark, proving the presence of a solid body, while the lines of the spectrum of lightning, which is simply a flash in the sky, are all bright. Another inter esting point brought out by the Har vard photographs is that the hydrogen lines of a natural lightning flash cor respond almost exactly with those of a little quarter of an inch flash produced artificially in a tube. WOULD IMITATE CHEOPS. Huge Pyramid May Be Made a Cen- tral Attraction at St, Louis Fair. Dr. Edward Bedloe of Philadelphia, who has filled Important positions for the United States in Italy, Egypt and China, has Just returned to the United States after a visit to Europe. Dr. Bedloe has brought home an idea for the St. Louls exposition, says a New York dispatch to the St. Louis Repub- lic. Dr, Bedloc's conception is that there be reproduced as the distinguish- ing architectural, popular and perma- nently useful feature of the world's fair In St, Louis a duplicate of the antique pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. In réply to a question whether it would be possible to erect such a structure at St. Louis Dr. Bedloe re- plied: \It is entirely possible. 'The Cheops' pyramid as it stands in the Nile valley covers with its base forty acres and is 495 feet high. I maintain that guch a structure can be duplicated with a steel framework and a staff covering, exact in dimensions. The vast interlor of such an edifice could be made to educate the masses in Egyptology and familiarize the popu- lar imagination with the spirit of the orient, where the United States seeks to Increase its export trade.\ BIBLE CLASS FOR THE ELITE Unique Revival of Religion on the North Side, Chicago. Prominent women on the north side in Chicago, especially along the Lake Shore drive, Bellevue place, Astor street and North State street, are ex- periencing a revival of religion, which has resulted in the establishment of a \Bible class for the elite,\ with | Willltm R. Newall, assistant superin- tendent of the Moody Bible institute, ,for a teacher, This class meets at 11 a. m. every | Saturday for six weeks at the hall of the Lincoln Cycling club, 394 Dearborn avenue, says the New York Times. There were present the other day about | fifty women, who represented in the aggregate possibly $50,000,000. Such smart turnouts, such stylish hats and rare feathers, such tailor made sults and elegant gowns have not been seen at a Bible class before for years. The women positively refused to have the class given any sort of newspaper publicity. J. Plerpont Morgan's Way. An insurance officer, who claims to be the only man in his business who ever talked business to J. Pierpont Mor- gan, remarked the other day, accord- Ing to the San Francisco Argonaut: \I could more easily see the hundred hard- est men in San Francisco than do it again. Never mind how I did It. I walked in on Morgan at the office one day and stated my business. 'How did you get In here? sald he. 'I walked In' said I. I did.\ Long Absent From Home.

If Successiol, Many Similar Vil- lages Will Be Built-Each House- holder to Have at Least Five Acres. Virginia is perhaps the only state in the south which is to have in the near future a little town inhabited entirely by negroes and for the purpose of agri- cultural and industrial training, with a view to improving their condition, says a dispatch from Richmond to the New York Sun. For years travelers and visitors have had their attention attracted by a little village about two miles west of Orange Court House pop- ulated entirely by negroes and famil- iarly known as Slabtown. It gets its name from the fact that two or three hundred cabins occupied by the inhab- itants are roofed exclusively with rough slabs. 'These cabins are made, of rude logs stuck together with red clay. They are scattered over an area of half a mile square and are connected with rough and tumble bypaths grown up in summer with weeds. It is a pe- culiar sight, this little negro town, where a white face seldom appears. Slabtown is laid out with no system. There is not a store in it, although there are more than 200 dwellings. But the new town which is now be- ing built for the colored people has a good object in view. Already work has begun on it and will be pushed for- ward as rapidly as possible. It will oc- cupy a tract of land of about a thou- sand areres ground Fort Lee, on the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, a few miles below Richmond. 'The surveyors who were employed to lay off the town have marked out a park, which is to be beautified articially in the winter and in the spring a pavilion and other im- provements will be added. The first house will soon be begun, and in a few months a flourishing village will have arisen where now there are only tim- ber and undergrowth. This movement was started about a year ago by Dr. R. E. Jones, a well known and skillful negro physician of Richmond, who has manifested a keen interest in the welfare and improve- ment of his race and bas done much to elevate it both in a commercial and intellectual way. It was 'through him that a large industrial and training in- stitution was established at Richmond in which negro women are taught to cook, act as trained nurses, keep house and follow other useful pursuits. Dr. Jones, assisted by several other negro citizens, purposes getting the village started and then turning the property over to the Women's League Training school, above referred to. 'The proper- ty will cost many thousands of dol- lars, and the leaders of the movement glready have a large amount ga hand to start the work. From sixty to a hundred houses will be built, and this will be sufficient to house a community of at least 500 peo- ple.> To each house will be assigned not less than five acres of land located at some distance from the village prop- er and in that portion of the tract which will be devoted to agriculture principally and to some minor indus- trial pursuits. The houses will be built close together, and all will be pretty much alike, resembling in some re- spects the familiar milling towns dot- ted throughout the Carolinas and oth- er states. The lands assigned to each house- holder will be some ten or fifteen min- utes' walk distant. Each villager will be allowed to keep cows and other stock, and ten acres will be set apart for grazing purposes. One hundred acres will be devoted to a park. The village itself will occupy about fifty acres, the grazing plot about ten acres, and 700 or 800 acres will be left for cultivation. There will be no difficulty in getting people to live in the village. A large number of applications have already been received from respectable negro families in various parts of the coun- try. Some of these applications have been received from as far south as Georgia and even Florida. The pref- erence will be given to the negroes of Virginia. 'The villagers will be al- lowed to own their own houses, but if at any time they wish to sell them the movers of the scheme will have an op- tion on them, the price to be decided by arbitration. The name of the vil- lage has not yet been decided on. Some help has already been received from wealthy men in the north, and other donations have been promised. The de- velopment of the movement is looked upon with keen interest at Richmond and in other parts of the south. Since this movement started reports havebeen received that in at least two other states in the south a similar proj-, ect will be undertaken if this one suc- ceeds. It is also said that this is the beginning of the movement to colonize the negroes in various parts of the southern states where the cities have a congested colored population. This, it is believed, will result in a large part of the negro population eventually leaving the cities and settling in these farm villages, thereby paving the way toward filling their places in factories and other lines of work by white labor. Mny'or Abolishes Turkey Rafiles. According to Mayor johnson, turkey raffles wili not be allowed at the ap- proaching Thanksgiving. says the Cleveland Leader. During the two years of the Farley administration there were raffles of all kinds. ween esis cs NEW SONS OF REVOLUTION Descendants of Soldiers Who Helped Colonies Organize French Branch. Colonel Charles Chaille Long, the African explorer, recently secretary and for a time in charge of the United States commission to the Paris exposi- tion, reached New York the other day on the French liner Bretagne with news of what he called a \new ex- ploration.\ At the instance of several prominent Americans he has obtained rrom the French archives of 125 years ago the names of 10,000 French offi- cers and soldiers who fought in the American Revolution. Among their descendants he has started a French branch of the Society of Sons of the Revolution. Colonel Long said to a reporter of the New York Herald of the project: \'We hope that this organization will help to bind closer the two sister re- publics. There has been some reserve in France because it is believed that the America of the present has for- gotten the past and is ungrateful. \General Horace Porter, represent» ing the Sons of the Revolution,\ he continued, \appointed a commission of four to do the work, and we received every help from the French govern- ment. General Andre, the minister of war, and M. Delcasse, minister of for- eign affairs, have promised to have the rolls printell in book form in the offi- cial publications. We were materially assisted by them and by the minister of marine,. \'Those engaged in the work were Henri Merou, French consul at Chica- go; Deputy United States Consul Mac- Lean, Major Huntington of our army and myself. We went through thou- sands of musty files in the Archives Nationales,. We were helped by sev- eral quartermaster sergeants and ships' writers detailed by the departments of war and marine. It is our hope that the society in France will be enabled to establish reciprocity in matters of family with American genealogists. In the list of those whose descendants have already joined us are the names of Lafayette, Rochambeau, Du Chaf- fault and De Bersay de Vouste.\ Colonel Long, after serving through the civil war in the same Maryland infantry regiment his grandfather, Colonel Pierre Chaille, had command- ed in the Revolution, went to Africa as an explorer. He'acted as American representative in Alexandria at the time of the siege and was afterward appointed consul to Korea and subse- quently secretary of legation there. MUST EAT HIS STRAW HAT. Kentuckian Agreed to Do It if Re- publican Ticket Lost. Thomas P. Watts, a sanitary plumb er of Louisville, is in for a rare treat and must eat his last season's straw hat, says the New York Times. He is game and says he will do it. A hot political debate resulted in the follow- ing agreement: Sept. 25, 1901. I, Thomas Watts, am at present wearing a straw hat which I propose to eat if the Repub- lican ticket is not elected this fall. Tromas P. Warre. Witnesses-George W. Hinsler, Herman V. Cohen. Mr. Hinsler is proprietor of the Eng- lish kitchen and Mr. Cohen is adver- |: tising manager of the Anzeiger. 'The Republican ticket was unsuccessful, and Mr. Watts is being held to his wager. A banquet is being arranged at the English kitchen for which Mr. Watts must pay, and the menu «will be as follows: EOUF. Old Straw. EXTREES, Fricassee of Straw. Ragout of Straw. Straw Hash. | BALLAD, Straw with Pitchfork Dressing. DESSERT. Straw Pudding with Old Braid Sauce. Sulphureted W - tor, Mr. Watts is game aud says he will eat the hat. § His Brain Ticks Like a Watch, - One of the most peculiar cases ever encountered by the medical profession came up in the police court at Syra- cuse recently, when.a lad was discov- ered who had a brain which ticked like a watch, says the New York Sun. He is Alex Jenni and is fifteen years old. He has been working on a farm at North Syracuse, his parents being dead. He has been at St. Joseph's hospital, where he was examined by the physi- clans. By placing the ear close to the head a ticking can be heard. His in- tellect is not impaired. The Scotch Born Santa Claus, There's a Scotch born Santa Claus, And his fame is great, because He at any time may come And hand out a wondrous sum. Often thousands in a lump He will on a city dump, And with millions now and then He astonishes all men. By the hundred organs peal Where the worshipers oft kneel, And the music's there because This same Scotch born Santa Claus, Moved by kindly Interest, Put \O. K.\ on each request And would not leave in the lurch Any organ needing church. He has strewn with lavish band Libraries throughout this land, * And in lands beyond the sea Proofs of generosity Can be seen in many a town Where this Santa has planked down Cash so all who wish may read And for books need no more plead. But the place where more than all This famed Santa loves to call Is the town where years were passed And where fortune was amassed. Here he reared an institute That has won worldwide repute, And a polytechnic school Boon will show his love can't cool. He has come again and gone, Going after he bad drawn From his cash two millions more, Just as freely as before. Far and wide spreads his renown, Great his love for his old town, And no wonder there's applause For this Scotch born Santa Claus. -Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph, CRASH 1 F Goes the crockery and the waitress will probably be called clumsy and careless. Her plea of sudden dizziness is not allowed. \What right has she to be dizzy?\ they ask. Women who are suffering from dis- eases peculicrly feminine are liable to sudden dizziness and faintness, and it is only by curing the womanly dis- eases to which they are subject that 4 dizziness and other ills can be entirely relieved.
