The New Bruusw,ck Monster.

Last summer some marvellous stories were
told by lumbermen and others about non-
ster of extraordinary shape and size, that
was seer in a lake near st. George, in that
province. The creature has shown iteelf
again this season, and correspondent OF
the St. John Globe sends the following ac-
count Of it to that paper:

The township of Denmark, in Iowa, owes
whatever is peculiar in its history and con-
dition to its early and persistent religious
culture. The first Congregational church
planted In Iowa, was organizsd May D, 1898,
by r ". Asa Turner and Rev. julius A. Reed,
the former Of whom became, and remains
till this day, its pastor. The settlers were
poor in this worlu's goods, but rich IN faith
No intoxicating liquor has ever been sold in
the place. Of their earliest accommodations
they expended 5000 for their church and
g. 900 for an academy. They now number
about fifty families Of well to-do farmers.
AT exchange says:
Hostility TO oppression was, from the be-
ginning, marked feature Of their teaching
and practice. and being near the Missouri
border, they had opportunity tc honor their
\ principles among sacrifices and losses. Their
church was burne1 at the beginning " the
war, aud the academy set on fire at the
same time. They re- buiIt the church at a
cost 10 themselves Of $4,000. Bat while

From tie New York Journal Of Commerce,
The Che .nlstry Of SRn.StrOke.

The effects and treatment OF sun-stroke
are well understood in this country, where
the nlalady is one of frequent occurrence
more frequent, probably, in the hottest
months, than in any other part OF the world
But the cause Of the sun-stroke is as yet a
my stery. Tne intense heat (merely as heat)
OF the solar rays, is not the agent Of mischief
The human body may be exposed to the
Turkish bath Of l40 degrees, and remain in
it an hour without injury. This is much
higher range OF heat than that OF the atmos-
phere at which sun-stroke most often occurs,
viz: 100 to lilo degrees Gin the sun). Men
working in ziac furnaces or iron fonndries
are subjected to q heat above l20 degrees,
but they are not prostrated to tie ground
with tue phenomena of sun stroke. The hu-
man organization is fitted to endure a much
higher pitch of heat than any we have
named. Experiments are recorded cf mel
sitting quite comfortably in ovens while
chickens were slowly browning by their side
How does it happen, then, at q temperature
OF the open air comparatively SO few mel
away las the popular saying is) with heat
The reason, We think, must be looked fo
in the chemical character Of the SUMS rays
The beat of the sun differs from every oIhe
kind Of light. This is fact so well know
as to need no demonstration. The effect o
the suns heat upon plants--as contraste'
with artificial heat---is the most familiar an'
perhaps the most. striking illustration O
hand. All animate and inanimate are sub
ject to precisely the same great laws Of M
ture and the solar heat which makes th
flowers droop end close their petals, as If 3
shut cut the dazzling rays, ia not without il
marvellous chemical effsst upon the sensitis
brain Of man. The effect, Ne SAY, Is chemi
cal--jast like the eiIsct Of poison. Srych
nine. cyanide Of potassium, sfssnic, moi
chine, and the otksr deadly drugs do nc
work more marked organic changes than
sun-stroks. Ths countenance Of he yictil

Affairs in Wall street look rather squally
Just now On Monday there was heavy
decline in railway shares, and government
securities partially sympathized with the
downward movement and It's main cause,
which is artificial monetary activity. A strong
combination has been formed to make money
tight and to break down prices on the Stock
Exchange, and 80 far ss railway shares are
concerned considerable success has already
attended the efforts Of the conspiracy. Most Of
these stocks are selling 40 much above their real
value and they have recently advanced so rapid
ly that IL IL not surprising that some Of them
should now be tumhling about the ears. of
their owners; hut government securities are
comparatively cheap and there Is no good res
son why they should decline, confidence in the
public credit having been greatly strengthened
BY the result Of the elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Indiana and Nebraska, while powerful
impetus has been impaired to the investment
demand in consequence, and we predict a
sharp upward reaction for them a. soon az the
money market becomes easier.
decline in the market Tor the speculative
stocks will have rather a salutary effect than
otherwise but this furnishes no Justification
of the conduct Of the members Of the com
bination referred TO-, who are deserving Of
severe punishment: and il is to be regretted
that our laws cannot touch such conspirators
against the public welfare. They have
already Il il a-certained, withdrawn be

try to withdraw several millions more,
