while to others he scarcely raised his

this. He answered me in the most
serious manner, "That gentleman ] just

ant man in New York society; ne is
worth one million dollars. This one
who is now passing is worth only one
hundred Thousand dollars; SO ne is not
so much thought about as the other. i

are the distinctions observed in America,
where there is no other aristocracy than
that of labor and the dollar" The news
papers in America enjoy much greater
importance than in Europe. We must
not conclude, however, that it is any
freer in the "new world than in the Old.
With us it is the government which ex-
ercises supervision and controls the news
papers over there it is the religious sects
and political lotteries that exert their
tyranny on the editors. The latter, it
must be said, easily accept this servi-
tude, and know how to profit by it.
The Offices of the newspapers are easily

the tallest house and enter boldly. If at
night, open your eyes. The best lighted
edi6ce the one that sheds its light over
the neighborhood is precisely the one
you seek. Behind sparkling glasses you
see the journalists at work. Sometimes
in France newspapers are fsuratively
called beacons. In America it is the
proper word to apply to them.-Qfen-

HOW Gas WAS FIRST USED.

Great was the amazement of all Eng
land when at the close of the last
century William Murdoch discovered
the Use of combustible air or gas. So
little was the invention understood and
believed in by those who had not seen it
in use that even great and wise men
laughed at the idea. Chow could there
be light without wick % saba mem
Der of parliament when the subject was
brought before the house. Even Sir
Humphrey Davy ridiculed the idea of
lighting towns by gas and asked one of
the proprieters if they meant to take the
dome fist Paul's for gss-meter. Sir
Walter Scott, too, made himself merry
over the idea of Illuminating London by
smoke, though he WAS glad enough, not
80 long after, to make his own house at
Abbottsford light and cheerful on wintry
nights by the Use of that very smoke.
When the h0nse of commons was lighted
by gas, the architect imagined that the
gas ran on fire through the pipes, and
he, therefore, insisted on their being
placed several inches from the wall for
fear of the building taking fire; and
members might be observed carefully
touching the pipes with their gloved
hands and wondering why they did not
feel warm. The first shop lighted in
London by the new method was Mr..
Ackerman's in the strand, in 1910, and
one Lady of rank was 80 delighted with
the brilliancy Of the gas-lamp on the
counter that she asked to be allowed to
take it to her home in her carriage. Mr..
Murdoch was, however, too busy with
other pursuits to continue the study of
gas, and though he was undoubtedly the
first to apply it to practical purposes,
many Others laid claim to the honor,
and other people quickly reaped the
benefit of his tleverness and ingenuity
In this he shared the general fate of
nventOrs.-C0dl Trade journal.

THE STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE.

The different members of the organic
world are so bound together by complex
relations that one change usually invol.
yes many other changes. We know lit.
tie, it is true, of the way in which one
animal or plant is bound Up with others;
but we do know that groups the most
apparently disconnected are often en-
tirely dependent on other groups. Thus
the introduction of goats into ST. Hele-
ma destroyed whole fora of forest trees.
This was the sentence of death on all the
insects, mollusca, and perhaps birds,
which found their living on trees. Swine,
which ran wild in Mauritius, extermi-
mated the dodo. The same animal is
the most mortal foe of venomous ser
penis.
In many districts the browsing OF cat
tie will prevent the growth of trees.
With the trees an end is put to the in
sects which depend upon the trees, to
the birds which feed upon the insects,
and to the small mammals which live
upon the fruits, seeds, leaves or roots
Insects, moreover, have the most wonder
full influence on the range of mammals.
In Paraguay a species of fly destroys
new born cattle end horses. Hence
neither of these animals run wild in that
country, although they abound in the
adjacent regions. This leads to a great
difference in the Vegetation of Paraguay,
and through that to a difference in its
insects, birds, reptiles, and wild NAM
mails. The extinction of this fly would
change the whole face of the country.
So in South Africa, in the districts in
tested by the tsetze fly, no horses, dogs,
or cattle can live. Yetit has no effect on
asses, zebras, or antelopes.
Mr.. Darwin's often quoted case of the
cats and clover afford an apt Illustration
Of the points in question. 1t is known
that in England both red clover and wild
neartsease are fertilized only by the visits
Of humble bees. But humble bees are
argely kept down by field mice, which
destroy their combs and nests. Field |
nice in their turn are kept down by
ATS. Ii there were no cats there would
De no red clover or wild heartsease. For
n that case there would be no check on
he field mice, which would multiply 70
'bundantly as to destroy all humble bees.
There would be nothing to iertilize the
ed clover and heartsease, and the two
,lants would produce no seed and be-
ome extinct.
