Ami now there are Intimations that If Itussia Insists on retaining Manchu ria it will not tn* possible to dislodge her. What difference? We might as well be worrying about dislodging Great Britain In East Africa. Euro pean nations ar«- going on with their schemes of cuiiqucat and expansion, and our sensible course Is to remain friendly with all of them, but keep them out of this continent. Religious people In tbe United States spend annually between $35,00(1.000 mid $IO.( h «),< hh ) for new church build ings, anil for every day in tin- year there are built and dedicated some where between twelve and fifteen new cburchi-s.

But to-day the pendulum baa swung back, and my lady presidro again over tbe stocking basket— whether It Is tilled with dainty Parls- ian bose of silk, or with stout wool« n socks, tit for tUHsle with thorn and wind and weather. Some authorities are making tbe strange assertion that the field of Bcl- «•nee lias now been pretty well ex- plored, that tbe greater part of all POH- slide rroewreb work has b«-en perform ed. and that It remains for physicians only to clear up tbe litter left by vari ous careless scientists. This would be a c -mfortabh* conclusion. But i.o doubt the same conclusion has be« u accepted by every age that bits pre ceded our own. Tbe p«-ople of 100 years from now will laugh at this con clusion. Just as we laugh at the same conclusion made 1»«> years ago. Aunts- ton, Ala., claims a man wbo saw tbe first locomotive and cars ev«sr con structed.

We are apt to forget that the race Is con stantly progressing, and that new tli-lds of vision are ever opening liefore expanding brains. There areTota of things that we don't understand. The half-dozen new gases discovered lu air, the X-rays and such radio-active bodies as radium have put everything we thought we knew Into <|ueatlon agalu. The various new finds open up vast fields for the experimentalist. What ar«- their limits no one cun say. E. Cost«, president of the Canadian Milling Institute, recently read a pa per before that body attacking the the ory generally held by geologists that petroleum results from the decomposi tion of animal ami vegetable organic remains. One point made by Mr. Cost« is that this process of forming petro 1 leum lias nowhere been fouml In Be tlon. He thinks that If this were nc- tually the mode of production or geu- erutiou It would pretty certainly be found going on somew here at the pres ent time on some scale, great or Hinall. He further argues that the decomisisl- tlou of organic remains, esiieclally an imal, Is so rapid and complete that then* Is no opportunity for the preser vation of such a residuum In rocks. He ¡siluts out. too, that the oil deposits ar«- found noMly In f«4i«at1<«s which existed before th«- carboniferous d«*- poHlts an.! When there was but very little vegetabb- life on the earth. Fl nally he reasons that if [»etroleum wen- wen- due to the destructive dis filiation of coal there would now be no coal beds, as the coal would long ago have been transform«-«! into pe troleum and a cokelike residuum. Mr. Coste's conclusion that petroleum does uot come from organic remains may l>e correct, but If so It does not con tribute anything to our stock of affirm ative knowledge. It may serve In a negative way to assist lu the discov ery of petroleum by teaching that It may l»e fouml when* no considerable organic remains an- present. It does not asalst nt all In forming a con Jectun- an to the extent of the deposit, or their probable exhaustion.

HUMOR OF THE WEEK STORIES TCLD BY FUNNY MEN OF THE PRESS- Odd, Curious and Laughable Fhaaea of Human Nature Graphically Por OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS The Isthmian Canal. REMARKABLE change of opinion has taken place In regard to tbe l>est route for the Isthmian Canal. A Fourteen months ago, when the House passed the Nicaraguan bill, the Panama route had few advo cates; only one newspaper In New Y’ork championed IL and the state of feeling at the time H further Illustrated by tbe fact that this champion was actuated by a desire to thwart the building of any canal. Now, however, there is luinily a voice raise«! to mourn for abandoned Nicaragua. an«l we have engaged to Hp«-nd millions, hundreds of mil lions. on Panama. We have agreed to pay the Panama Canal Company $40.000,000 for Its rights, unfinished work, and other property; we have agreed to pay Colombia $10.- 000.000 and all annuity of $250.000, and in addition to this outlay there la the cost of construction, which Is estimate«! at $250,000,000, but may. aud probably will, I m - much more. As much as this has already been sunk In the fourteen miles of dlu-h already completed by the old Panama <-«»m- pany, and thirty throe miles of more difficult work remains to be done. Fourteen years and $230,000.000 are plainly very H«-ant rotimates of the time and money which will have to 1 h - expended before the Isthmus Is croRsed by a navigable waterway. But the rewards will equal the ex penditure.—Public Opinion. Interesting Wheat Experiments. xperiments in Colorado and Wyoming point to the development of a species of hard wheat that will yield bountifully In tbe arid regions. In 1896 a Col- oradoan. Mr. Robert Gauss. planted some improved Fife wheat and left It to take care of Itself, The harvest gave barely enough wheat for seed tbe next year, The crop from this seed was much better, and each year since th«- grain has galn-d In productiveness. In 1902 Fred Rond. State engineer of Wyoming, plauted half a pint of this a<-<-llmatlz«*d s«-«-d n«-ar Cheyenne at an altitude of 6.050 feet, aud another half pint at Buffalo, altitude 4.700 feet. The first lot threslie«! 9Vi pints and the second 21,j pints. No water was artificially given to either plantation, and the rainfall at Cheyenne was only 6.38, and at Buffalo 4.90 Inches. If ex[M*rlments on a larger scale are equally suc- crosful, Mr. Gauss, as tbe Geographic Magazine says, has reclaimed nearly 400,000 «quart- miles of land. The whole nrld am! semi arl«l West will eagerly await further experl- ineuta.—ludianapolls Journal. E The Minimum Wage. 1 NDIAJCA hns a minimum wage law, enacted In 1901. It provides that no one employed on work done by or for counties, cities or towns shall be paid less than twenty cents au hour. Tbe act was pass»! at tbe demand of organised labor, ami the purpose, of course, was to rotab- llsh a standard minimum rate of living wages. While H wns not |H-Ilev<-<1 tbal the State could enact any law mak ing a minimum wage lu private business. It was Imagined that municipal corporations could l»e requlr«-«l to pay a minimum wage or more for work done which would be come a common standard. The Supreme Court of the Stat«- baa pronounced the law unconstitutional, ns being an Improper Interference with the liberty of contract. If tbe Legislature has th«- right to pr«-scrlbe and enforce a minimum rat«* of wages, it also has power to prescribe a maximum rate, and need not confine itself to wages, but proceed to llx the prices of corn and polatoes. The court concludes that counties, cities and- towns stand upon th«* «ami- footing as private or quasl-public corporations, and cannot l-t- compelli-d to pay more than Its market value for any property or labor.
