re so.called statesmen of Great

the so-called statesmen Of Great
Britain again grappled the matter,
and by parliamentary enactment re-
quired the bank of England to buy all
the gold which should be offered at
f3.11.6, per or. and to sell all asked
for at f3.17.l0l-2, under an absurd
impression that such conjuration
would settle the vexed question and
study the values of the "money of

was jumping out Of the frying pan
into the fire. with vengeance. since,
il gold for any cause should be plenti-
full, the vaults Of the bank, and the
money market, would be SO gorged
with it as to stimulate feverish specu-
lation. while on the other hand it war
famine, or any other cause should ere
ate foreign demand, the putative
basis would be withdrawn, resulting
in a smash of the superstructure.
But absurd as was that legislation.
the price for gold was the market rate

is more than can be said Of the prOpo-
sltlOn now before congress to buy sill
yer at a large advance above its mark

IMPROVED COW STABLES.

Mr.. J. Wilkinson. of Harvard, ILL.,.
commenting on the article in Scientific
American Supplement, No. los, p.
1914, entitled Labor Saving Cows. .
protests against the use of any such
device, as well as against all the other
methods in general use for keeping
stables clean. He styles them all
barbarous. and claims that his plan,
which he has advocated for twenty
years in various journals land which
we remember having ready, is the
only perfect one.
His method is to construct an open
or lattice floor, through which the solid
and liquid eXcrements fall, the former
into concealed gutter and the latter
into a receptacle from which it i'm
mediately flows out of the building
into a cistern constructed for the
purpose. BY a system of sub-earth
ventilation the eXcrement lying in
the gutter beneath the flow is soon
cooled and its surface dried SO that
all fetid eXhalationS soon cease. The
open floor being always dry and com
paratively clean. he dispenses with
beding entirely.

HONORS TIC AMERICAN SCIENTISTS.

Although it has hitherto been the
policy of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs to encourage the receiving of
decorations and medals by officers of
the United States. it recently reported
back. with recommendation that it
pass, the bill authorizing Spencer f.
Baird. Assistant Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, to receive
from the King Of Sweden diploma
ard medal. constituting him a men,
Der of the Norwegian Order of Saint
Olaf, as testimonial of distinguished
scientific service. In the opinion of
the committee of Congress, Professor
Baird is not an officer of the United
States in any such sense that there
could be any serious objection to per-
hitting him to accept a diploma as
member of a literary organization Of
foreign country. The bill was
therefore passed. Professor Hall, Of
Naval Observatory, the discoverer Of
the two satellites of Mars, has
bestowed on them the names of
''Deimus'' and ''Phobus," and the
Bureau of Navigation of the Navy
Department has approved OF them.
They were suggested, it is said, by
Mr.. MADAM, of Eaton, England. and
will probably be accepted by astrono-
merS.

4dperfisiuQ.

To the device of advertising there is lit
orally no end. The last that has come to
our notice is proposition to paint adver'
tisements upon plates and other articles in
dining rooms, pitchers in restaurants, &c,
&c. This would be quite as good as put
ting them upon rocks, board fences and
similar devices for like purposes, and prob
ably like them would be more profitable
to the artist than advertiser.
Recent discussion has brought out the
fact very clearly that the regular wel-es-
tablished newspaper is altogether the best
medium for making known to the public
the advantages which house in any line
of business has TO offer But it is to be
borne in mind that advertising Of any sort
will be of little use unless the advertiser
has really good articles at advantageous
prices. All that Advertising can do is to
bring customers to examine what is offered
1t depends upon the article and the dealer
whether it is bought or not. 1t a firm has
something worthy the attention of the pub
lie, advertising in good newspaper mediums
will secure that attention better than any
and all allotted ways. This has been
demonstrated by experience. For exam
pie Messrs. Isaac Smith X Sons of New
York say:
1t what you have to say be strictly
true, say It in good newspaper. For for
ty-seven years nine-tonths Of our adver-
Using has been done on this plan, and OF
the whole expenditure all that we regret
Is contained in the other tenth
The Wheeler Il Wilson Sewing Machine
Company likewise say:
I'm no department of business is there
probably so much money wasted as in ad-
vertising, and in no department are good
Judgment and experience more requisite
Twenty-Five years experience has clearly
demonstrated the superior advantages and
economy Of newspaper advertising over all
other mediums offered for that purpose -
Messrs Lord Il Taylor,the eminent dry
goods house Of New York, give their opin-
Ion Of advertising as follows;
"Oc al methods opened to the merchant
for advertising MS business. an experience
Of nearly hall 4 century enables Us to UNI
hesitatiug'y declare ia favor OF the news
paper. IL is without exception, tho most
economical, persistent, palnstaking and
successful canvasSer any business firm eau
secure for the purpose Of bringing their
goods to the attention OF the consumer
This testimony is in perfect accord with
that given by other large establishments,
some Of which we have heretofore referred
to. Aud it is a noteworthy fact that all
the great business houses Of New York
are regular and constant advertisers in all
the leading daily journals and periodicals
Of that city. some Of them devote So
600 a year or more to making known their
business through the newspapers.
