state, that. Of the sum now 10 the Treasu-
~, there are upwards of 100000 dollars,
of special deposite, which cannot be a.
valuable during the year. The time me-
cessary to transfer the revenue collected
in the western states, and in those border
ing on the gulf Of Mexico, beyond what is
expended 10 those states to the places
where it will be expended, may be esti-
mated, upon an average, at 6 months.
One half of the sums collected 10 thoee
states, may, therefore, be considered.
through the year, as Ia situation not to
be applicable 10 the demands upon the
Treasury as it will be in transitu be-
tween the places of collection and those
OF expenditure. II this amount be stated
at 100000 dollars, there will be, through
the year, the SUN of 100000 dollars
which cannot be considered as available.
To ensure the prompt discharge Of
all demands upon the Treasury, and to
place the public credit beyond the reach
Of accident, the sum of 100000 ought to
remain in the Treasury. II is probable
that, of the appropriations for 1921, near
ly that amount will remain in the Treasu
ry, or 10 the hands of the Treasurer, as
agent, at the end of the year. But il is
considered unsafe TO trnst to that contin-
gency. Ii is, therefore, respectfully sub
mitted that provision be made for raising
the sum Of 100000 dollars, in aid Of the
funds which it is estimated will be re-
ceived into the Treasury during the year
1921. Ifthat amount shonld be raised by
loan, the interest Of the debt thus created
will increase the public expenditure, and
render The amount proposed to be raised
Indispensable"

Mechanical Sympathy.-Of all the
branches Of science there is none SO I'M
perfectly known as the cause or the effect
Of sympathy. 1t cannot be explained
philosophicalIy why, if one finger aches,
the adjoining Que is affected; yet we know
il to be the case; and it descends TO an
animated nature. We know that tulip
imparts its colour 10 some degree to the
neighboring tulip. and

But what may lead TO earnest philo-
sophical disquisitions on this subject, was
an extraordinary discovery accidentally
made by Antonio Merlino, clock-maker
Of Milan, Italy. about one year ago:
That pendulum put 10 motion by clock
work, will cause another pendulum (si;s-
pended by silk string from peg afiix-
ed to the wall, but nearer to the moving
pendulum than the wall) to vibrate, solely
BY the power Of sympathy. A gentleman
Of Georgetown, whose curiosity was ex-
cited by this account has taken the trou-

ton, which has effectually succeeded, and
