EDITORIAL NOTES.
Ah interesting and pathetic
feature in the centennial procession
in San Francisco, was the place in
the line of march occupied by the
survivors of Vandalia, one of the
ships lost in the Samoan cyclone.
Alta says three cheers for the
Russian man-of-war. On Centen
nial day she displayed all her
bunting, and flew the Stars and
E tripes from the mainmast above
her own fla. Muscovite here's to
you!
The claim that the advance of
price in binding twine is due
wholly to large demand for it, and
the consequent exhaustion of the
manila and sisal supply, and that
there has been no combination to
control the price of the twine for
speculative purposes, is not well
taken. The evidence of a combin
ation is to apparent, and while the
unprecedented demand may have
given grounds for an advance of
price, it is no grounds for the ex
travagant price that has been
striven to be reached by the specu
lators in the article. The action
taken by farmers in the matter was
well taken and should be closely
followed by further action, but in
all cases tempered and directed by
judgment and adherence to the
principles of justice and common
sense.
It is a popular belief that human
beings are degenerating in physical
growth and endurance, but scienti
fic investigation demonstrates to
the opposite belief. Dr. Todd
shows that the average of human
life is increasing. The average
human life in Rome, under Ca;sar,
was 18 years, now it is 40. The
average in France 50 years ago
was 29, the mean duration in 1887
was 4532 years. In Geneva during
the thirteenth century a genera
tion played its part upon the stage
and disappeared in 14 years ; now
th drama requires 40 years before
the curtain falls. During the
golden reign of good Queen Bess,
in London and all the large cities
of merry old England, 50 out cf
every 1,000 paid the last debt to
nature yearly, which means, in
stead of three score and ten, they
average but one score. Now, in
the city of London, the average is
47 years.
Pebhai-s it will not be wise to
borrow trouble over what the ap
proaching harvest will be which
from its present promising outlcok,
presages unexampled abund
ance but some genius, with a
predeliction to mar every beauti
ful view has elucidated the fact
that scientific investigations, ex
tending over a period of years, have
disclosed the tact that, almost
without exception, a mild winter,
is followed by a summer character
ized by constantly recurring elec
trical disturbances, ine summer
. of 1881, as being within the
memory of almost every one. mav
be mentioned as an example.
While it is not easy to account for
this, it is known to every electri
cian that atmosphere more or lees
warmed is a great developing agent
of electricity, and the same may
be said of metals. The heating of
iron develops in the bar electrical
currents.
Very few who use the coal oil
can as a fire kindler, understand
where the danger lies in such a
practice. Coal oil of itself does
not perhaps carry an extraordinary j
amount of danger with it, as it
does not ignite rapidly enough to
account for the myriad of fatal and
terrible accidents that are inscribed
upon demolished and exploded
cans, but the vapor arrising from
the coal oil, and with which it is
almost invariably attended, is
among the most infiamable articles
known. Majendie says one gallon
of petroleum spirit, it has been
shown, is enough to render 16,000
gallons of air infiamable, represent
ing a space exceeding 2,000 cubic
feet. The penetrating nature of
the vapor increases the risk a,
fact which has been proved In
direct experiment, as well as in
dicated bv actual misfortune. The
quality, combined with the nigh
specific gravity and flame-carrying
power of theivapor when combined
with air, renders its presence high
ly dangerous, even when the
quantity may be small.
The extent to which the govern
ment should lend its influence and
aid towards the investigation, and
successful treatment of diseases
incident to the human family, is a
question of concern andimportance
It gives considerable more point to
such queries when science gives a
high compliment to the United
States' care of the swine of the
country whe n it asserts that the
government has paid more money
in the investment of porcine dis
eases, and to prevent and cure the
same, than it has to investigate
the diseases that affect the human
family. But what shall we conclude
of the economy that supplements
the breeding of criminals and the
hopelessly diseased and the morally
leprous by allowing their diseases
to remain as multiplying forces to
disintegrate society and degenerate
the human stock? The economic
tendencies of the average legislator
are to be commended, as a rule,
but that our government has been
unwisely stingy and dangerously
careless concerning scientific inves
tigation bearing on the health and
improvement of the American
people is certain.
Canine rights are to be respected
in the Empire State. A New York
judge sentenced John Ennis, who !
bit off an ear of a valuable St. Ber
nard dog, to a year in the peniten
tiary and pay a fine of five hundred
dollars. The cure is unique, but
the influence of such a sentence
will be wholesome among a class
of people who seem to imagine
that they can maltreat a dog or
other dumb brute as a West
African potentate wreaks his
geance on a slave.
