It looks like there was "a nigger in the lence" in the arbitration treaty between England and the United States, but the "nigger" is no less a personage than the king of Norway and Sweden, one of the urouosed judges and a very warm friend of England. , By selecting Lyman J. Gage for secretary of the treasury, President elect McKinley is pursuing the course that was expected of bim, to connect as closely as possible the banking interest with his adminis tration. Mr. Gage is president of the First National bank uf Chicago, and closely connected with the banking interests of the nation. Dispatch. ' - The Cleveland Plain Dealer hits it exactly when it says: 'A, trust never he'pa the producer of the raw material. It increases the prices of manufactured products just as high as the people will stand. It is a cnife that cuts both ways, it cuts the man who pro duced the raw material and it cuts tlie life out of the consumers who must purchase the product of the trust."

It matters not how he stands at Salem, the fact of. his being there this winter will hang arnud him as a disagreeable odor fur rears to come. Charles A. Pillsburv, the big wheat man recently wrote a letter, of which the following is an ex tract: "In re rd to our ideas of the wheat market, would say we are firm lielievere in higher prices, una the situation is very strong the world over. In fact it is the strong est ft has ever been. Receipts are rapidly falling off, until they are now about down to milling de mand. Our Mr. Little is now on tlie tb . aidevjind cables that ..((.icks are very iow, anbrioreigners mufti soon .be liberal buyers of American flour." The Bosebufg Review, one "of the ablest democratic papers in Oregon, says: "As to the minority, the senatorial contest should be a mat ter of indifference. They should devote their efforts to securing leg islation in the interest of the people, to the full extent of their ability. Their places are in the seats to which their constituents elected them. Let them make gisid records there and the people1 will ntiirn them. If they persist in a hold up, which, no matter how I plausible the excuse, is only engi neered on account uf 'he senatorial struggle, their course will been. demm-d.

This coal is mined at about 20 miies from Marsh field. Coos county, this state. It is re markable for its large per cent of fixed carbon and combustible mat ter, snd for the small amount of, moisture it contains." The Kansas legislature, in its election of a successor to Senator Peffer, has shown signs of marked improvement Senator-elect Harris is spoken of by opposition papers in the highest terms, as a man of culture, energy and talents, far su perior to Senator Peffer. In his fl jction, it is quite evident that the state has cunt aside its wilrl-evwl slate has cast aside its w Ud-eyed, mg-moutued, rattled-Drained lead' ers, and has seen the wisdom of sending to congress a man of brains. The new populist senator will doubtless take rank with the best and will do much to' lift Kansas from the low plane upon which her irresponsible representa tives have placet! her. The rottenness of politics is well illustrated in the appointment of Lou Payn as Superintendent of Insurance in New York state. The World savs that the Governor has placed a notorious, confessed and branded lobbyist at the head of the i bureau having in charge the largest! and most sacred trust of any de partment of the state government. He has set to supervise the hun dreds of millions of dollars held or controlled by insurance companies, a defaulting official, a man once indicted for perjury, a bankrupt who could not eveu keep bis own ill-gotten gains, a corruptionist whose practices were condemned by a republican, senate committee and whose contaminating presence was ruled ofPthe floor of the assem bly by a llpubjican speaker. . It is the most brazen defiance of public opinion since Boss Tweed ruled and robbed, and asked the people, "What are you going to do about it?" If the senate shall advise and consent to this outrageouB appoint ment it will share equally in the' infamy. $ioo Reward, Sioo.

Cvarrtklac Imp far b Cw flam iMUtmaak In the heart tot New York state, be yond the reach of the merely curious, yet open to all of a scientific turn of mind, is the only Inventors' farm in the world. There to doubtless no stranger plat anywhere, for H to a farm where balloons are "rataed," aerial schemes are hutched md air ships are born. So far as the place at Frankfort, Herkimer county, N. Y., to surrounded by fields and proves which give no siur- B ration of city life, it is a farm, but its products are those of which the or dinary Jaarmer knows nothing. For these products are Dying machines, bal loons, stranpe ships that in theory at leastdart through the air or skim the ground like a bird. Prof. Carl E. Myers, who has estab lished the unique farm, is like most men of purely scientific mind in thatbe most conservative in his ideaa of publicity, and is content to live in the j midst 01 wondere with hi assistants " 1 " "me, are associ,, if , jnventorhas an idea that he will be able to overcome the forces of nature and construct a mechanical bird, it will no longer be nec essary for him to spend fortunes to work, out has ideas or die without ao eomplishinjr his life's object. All he needs to do will be to go to the inven tors' farm and find there willing hamls una rruitiui Drains, as well as all an pliances of this electrical age to assist turn. Almost in the center of the big firm s a modern country house, standing .mid many smaller buildings, in which .re to be found the materials for every form of experiment connected with aeronautics. The lower portion, of the 'arge house to given over to living rooms, while a third story and attic ex tending the length of the building and occupied By balloon apparatus, acces sories and wonderful devices for the 'onstmction of air ships. The farm was especially selected for its natural advantages. Them are stretches of level ground, gently ris ing slopes and strong declivities. Thus it does not matterat what stage of work the inventions may la', a suitable grade can always be found on the furm at which trials can be made. If it be an air ship that hns been constructed where there is a doubt as to the exget nature of its workings, it con be tested mi the slight grades, so that there will be as slight a risk as possible to human life or to the ship. Close to the main house, in a glen, is situated one of the most important fea tures of the farm. This is the spot de signed for the making of fabric for all manner of fiyingmoehinesand balloons, tin this half acre of ground, which is skirted by the higher ground and trees, the fabric is suvU'hed to receive the coatings of gasproof varnish. For this I application of varniuhB special machine has beeu invented and constructed by Prof. Myers, so contrived as to supply u complete coating of thick varnish and u.en to remove the coating with the ex ception of au exceedingly delicate film, dinicult to he-measured bv instruments. One section of the attic of the big house is a workshop containing all tools necessary for the construction of an tral us from wood, metal or textile, in-lulling- lathes of various and oritrinal designs, steam engines, all classes of lod-worKing machinery and kindred apparatus for making comparative tests. 5 his is the section in which is constructed the material for the full- siaed machines of the air after working models have been tested. Another sec tion of the attic is given over to space and machinery for the construction of models especially of kites, aeroplanes, wind-borne or self,propelled motors, winged apparatus worked by hand and feet, gas vessels propelled by screws or serving to suport other devices for safe trial by their inventors. In the little buildings scattered over the farm are located t he gas engines and temks for practical experiments, the chemical chambers and several furnaces and retorts. Some of these last ore so strange and unusual that their ap pearance suggests the laboratory of yomc oiu-ume alchemist rather than a . iix,- teenth century workshop. 8. X. Her ald. Astronomical DUcoverics. That the beat attainment are not the result of chance was exemplified in the discovery of the planet .Neptune, the fiftieth anniversary of which event was recently celebrated in trance. Tele scope bad long- awept the aky without diacovering tbia ahy outer planet ; but when aatronomera noticed how Uranus hastened In one part of it orbit and moved with leas rnpidiay in another, they knew there must be an attracting body that held him in check. Ijever rier, therefore, after minute calcula tions, wrote to the astronomer of the IH-rlin observatory, renucstini? him to lioint his telescope to a particular nixrt i. .ire jr im an evening- indicated, and sam: -iou will sec a planet which I have not seen, and which no humane ve liaa ever aeen, hut which nevertheless must be on the spot." No one would venture to can it discovery that night an act of chance. Youth'a Companion. FaeU About Keiiim. The maximum numbcrof eclipses that can take place within a period of a year is seven, and of these five are aolar and two are lunar, and the minimum number of eclipses is two, which mint both be solar. The year 1807, the aec nnd of the last semidcende of tlie Nine teenth century, will present thit mini mum number of eclinses. which, of - i cessity, must be solar and central, and will be annular. The first takes place on February J, and the second on July 51).

A very low tomperature,, 400'di- ) greea below icro, has been show n to j have a remarkable effect upon the color of many bodies. The brilliant scarlet of Vermillion and mercuric iodide is reduced, under its initnence, to a pule orange, the original color returning with the rise of the vmnerature. lilnes are uuaifected by cold, and the effect is comparatively small upon organic col oring matters of all tints.

In so dry a region as central Austra lia frogs ore fouud in fair numbers, oreeks and clarpuns "swarming" with them. Am the waters dry up the frogs disappear in their barrows, remaining till tht rains come again. "Certainspe cies of them," says Spencer,- "gorge themselves with water before they go into their retreats, and in times of drought the natives dig them out Bnd obtain enough water from their bodies to satisfy their thirst. It appears that as the earth be comes overpopulated all men must be come vegetarians. A recent estimate shows that. 2 acres of land are neces sary to sustain one man on fresh meat. I while the same area, it devoted to wheat culture, would feed 42 people; if to i -oats, SS; potatoes, Indian corn and rice, r 170, and if to plantain or breadfruit, J ' over 6.1100 people. Ere the dire prophecy j of Mnlthus is fulfilled, however, we may i reasonably e.iect the chemist to pro- vkic artihcial food for the multitude. As to the age of the Niagara falls, geologists differ widely in opinion. At first it was estimated that the Niagara river came into existence through changes in the level of the land around the great lakes, about S5.000 years ago. Later thin was reduced to only 12,000 year. The celebrated geologist Sir Charles f,v-ell, increased the estimate again to 3u,000 ytars; but more recent ly others have lowered it to about 9,000 years. The latent estimate is that of Dr. J. W. Sjicnccr, who, basing his con clusions on the most recent investiga tions, places the ape of the river at 32, 000 yean? and thatof the cataract at31, CW) v-cors.

So far as I am aware, Boston never awarded to Poe the honor which, in the case of her dead literary men of eminence, she sometimes deemn worthy to be taken in lieu of any fur- ther monumental .attention, namely, : the calling of a public meeting by tin ' mayor, at which addresses are made 'J(i complimentary resolution adp,, The name of l'oe is, indeed, ,' the outer walls of the public library at Boston; so are severar)ia1(lredotner names.
