No wonder the great civilized nations
of the world are slow to adopt the arbit
rament of war in settling their diapntes. j
The progress of improvements in inven
tions for the destruction of life and
property is such that they are incentives
to peace rather than promoters of strife.
. The new German artillery, which will
shortly be introduced, is said to be the
most terrible war instrument ever pro
duced. Experiments made at the Inter
bogk rangss deeply impressed the ex
perts, the Kaiser "being present. The
firet shot fired at a target placed fifty
paces from a wood, missed the target,
but ploughed its wnvthrough the wood
for 1500 feet The splinters of :t shell
burst by the new iow tier over a circle of
900 feet. A shell fired at an enormous
target, constructed by the emperor's
. orders, covered it with tens of thous-
ftnflfl of holes. A battery of the new
artillery would, it is assured, annihilate
an entire division, once the ranee was
jlound.
Whatever one inav think of the gen
eral sanity of Emperor William of Ger
many there can be only one opinion as to
the soundness of his views on the liquor
question so far at least aa they relate . to
two measures he ts seeking to incorpor
ate into the laws of the Empire. One is
a provision that no spirituous liquors
shall be sold to an v lads under sixteen
years of age except in the presence of their
parents or guardians, the other is that
no intoxicating drink.' shall be sold to
anr habitant drunkard. The fact that
the statistics of German insanity show a
direct ratio to those " of intemperance
(twenty-eight per cent; of insane per
sons in the Rhine provinces Jiaving lost
iheir'reaeon through excessive drinking,)
is evidence ofjbe nrseflgity-pf
There are 100,000 panpers in the city
of London alone while the Salvation
. Army people estimate that to provide
for the helpless ."tenth" . throughout
Great Britain would, at an estimate of
sixteen ceuts a day, require a charity
fund of $365,000,000 per annum.
.The Bank of England's doors are now
bo finely balanced that the clerk, by
. pressing a knob under his desk, can
close. the outer doors instantly and they
cannot be opened again except by spec
ial process. This is to prevent the dar
ing and ingenious unemployed of the
great metropolis from robbing the fa
mous institution. The bullion depart
ments of this and other great English
banking establishments are nightly sub
merged in several feet of water by the
. action of the machinery. In some of
the London bunks the bullion depart
ments are connected with the manager's
sleeping-rooms, and an entrance cannot
be effected without setting otf an alarm
near the person's head. If a dishonest
official, during day or night, should take
-even so much as one . from a pile of a
thousand . sovereigns, ' the' whole pile
-would instantly sink and a pool of water
takejt8 place, beside letting every per
son in the establishment know of the
theft. Hancbeatet Guardian.
This congress district has not a particle'
of use for a mere place-seeking nonentity
to step into Mr Hermann's shoes.. Un
less a congressman can be secured who
represents something in addition to what
the people now have as well " keep Mr.
Hermann. What the people want is a
representative who will do as much- to
open oar great rivers as he does for the
harbors which are of little, use until the
rivers are open. Salem Journal.
It would be a fine leather in the cap of
President Harrison should : the efforts
now being made lead to the adoption of
an agreement between the United States,
Great Britain, France and Germany to
adopt international free coinage. That
would settle the silverquestion, and in a
manner satisfactory to all except the
moet ultra gold men. . - .
The sheriff of Marion county is -considering
the udyisability .of putting up
the voting booths for the' school election
this spring, to educate the voters.
The winter is quite severe ln Malheur
county, snow two feet deep, and the
ranchmen have been feeding for two
months.
A Oil as t In a Mine;
A ghost has driven the workmen from
the 71)0 foot level of the Anaconda cop
per mine at Butte, Mon. They declare
that the ghost, which was a former fore
man of the mine, perches . itself on the
timbers in the s topes and gives orders as
to the manner in which the work should
be performed. Exchange.
' tttlttsattton of Niagara.
It is quite likely that the first large !
contract the company which is to sup
ply power frorjaNiagara Falls will take
for ta .delivery pf poMfer at a distance
from -its central station" will be to light
the city of .Buffalo. This .will require
8,000 horse powet, The present value of
a horse power generated from steam in
Buffalo ts f3o per annum. . 1 he com
pany is now willing to contract to fur

hour days at these rates: ; : For-5,000
horse power, f 10 per horse power; for
4,500, $i6.50; for -4,000, $11; and so on
down to 300 horse power, for which there
will be.charged 2L per horse pqwer. per
annum. . . - . ....,.'.-
r, If.., there be, not a very great loss of
power in the transmission to Buffalo, it
seems Very likely that the company -will
have no difficulty in- underbidding any
concern now using steam aa the motive
power for tbe electric lights, as the Joss
by transmission is .considerably less than
20 per cent .. About the use of water power
of the creat falls in Buffalo within a year
or so there can be no doubt. When it
shall be brought to New York is another
matter, but about that, there are not so
many elements , of ,. improbability as to
excite men to scoff, for power has al
ready .been transmitted electrically t
great distance, and that, too, with rea
sonable economy. Harper's Weekly.
Dangerous Experiments.
There is a scientific person in En,
land just at present who apparently
spends his whole time in hanging newly
born infants to a branch or a tree, or
rather it is the infants who hang them
selves, in' consequence of the scientific
person's encouragement and advice, the
branch is put in an tniant s nanas, ana
is then lifted into the air, when it is
found that the infant will retain its hold
and remain suspended by its hands for
fully two minutes. The object of this
performance is to show that man is de
scended from the monkey. It is the
scientific person's opinion that if an in
fant instinctively . hangs by its hands
from a branch of a tree it is because it
has inherited a fondness for that athletic
sport from its simian ancestors.
This is all very well; but when the
scientific person's practices come to the
ears of the mothers of the infants with
whom the experiments have been made
it is probable that he will somewhat
change his opinion as to the descent of
man and will adopt the view that man
has been developed, on his mother's side,
from a thrashing machine of complicated
construction and tremendous strength.

Where Land Urlngs Fabulous Prices.
A chronicler of the days of the good
Haroun-al-Raschid, seated on a minaret
of his paradise, with a list of New York
real estate quotations spread out before
him,' 'would- be seized with an impulse

the inexorable demands of traffic and
the needs of huddling thousands for
sleeping room and shelter transmuted
the soil beneath the New Yorker's feet
into auriferous strata whose value stated
in figures becomes almost too dazzling
for belief. -Harper's Weekly.
A Churchyard Garden.
In Berlin there appears to be little rev
erence for the dead. The old cholera
churchyard of 1831, which afterward
became a cemetery for the poor, has long
been neglected, thongh there have been
funerals there daring the last ten years.
The place is now to be changed. In the
lower part of the churchyard, where a"
new church ia to be built, the graves
have been opened and the skeletons and
remains of coffins taken out to be buried
in a general grave higher up, where it is
intended to make a public garden. ...:'.
. On' the upper part of the churchyard
two schools are being built.. Other por
tions of the ground will be sold for
building purposes, . though it does; not

Abandoned Farms in Massachusetts.
Within the borders of the old Bay
State are more than 900 abandoned
farms. A list of many of these for
saken homesteads is accessible at the
headquarters of the state board of agri
culture, and any one who wishes a
country life and country air can have
his longing gratified for a very small
outlay in cash.
Most of these abandoned farms are
found in the hill towns of the western
counties, ideally beautiful for situa
tion, many of them, and lacking only
the touch of the wand wealth to be
come magnificent, manors. Essex has
less than any other county, - except Suf
folk, where farms of any kind are rare.
if not precisely few and far between.
There seems to be no good reason why
such places should go to rack and
rum, when hundreds of city folks are
longing for a summer home at, a modest
price. Boston CJlobe.

would give-this to Mrs.' Tuley," said the
man,' pressing into the hands of the
chancellor a roll of bills.
