Lightning.

The last summer was remarkable for
the number and violence of its thunder
storms, and the next census will probab-
ly show an unusually large proportion of
deaths from lightning stroke. 1t is not
commonly known what is the proportion
of persons killed in this way in the Uni
ted States, says the World, but the Stats
tics of the subject are easily attainable
from the census tables, and to give some
notion Of them it is only necessary to say
that in 1S10-an average year-202
deaths occurred from this cause, and dur
ing the same period only 203 persons
committed suicide by poison, Psi by fire.
arms and 1873 by cutting their Threats.
In 1860, 191 persons were killed by light
ming, and 131 committed self murder
with poison, 112 with firearms and 50 by
throat-cutting. These statistics viii seem
remarkable to people who read newspa-
pers and find hardly a day passing in
which suicides are not recorded in all OF
these ways. They are striking also from
the fact that whereas lightning is work
Turing but two or three months of the
year, suicides with poison, pistol and
knife have no one season which is peculi-
arly their own-the notion that Novem-
Der is fatal month for the melancholy
having been shown by Charles Moore in
one of the earliest works published On the
statistics of suicide to be false. Of
course, in bringing lightning into com
parison with poison, pistol and the knife
we do not mean TO be understood as
speaking of the latter as if they were cos
mical causes of death, but merely to
show how the judgment may be deceived
in such matters. Undoubtedly most peo-
pie are accustomed to think that light
ming is the cause of the death of incom-
parably fewer persons than die of poison
administered by themselves or of throat
cutting or shooting, but investigation
shows this belief is without foundation.
In France, where it is said by DR.. De
DoiSmont that about one hundred thou
sand persons have died BY their own
hands since the beginning of tie century.
ard where suicide is therefore prevalent.
if We suppose that one out of hundred
uses the pistol in the act, we find that the
proportion of such deaths to the whole
population is less than one in 100000:
and in the United States death by light
ming is about one in 100000. The fig
ures are curious only because thev show
that among a people who are not in the
habit Of killing themselves as compared
with people who are supposed to be ad-
dicted TO that habit, lightning-a seem
ingly rare cause of death-does so little
less for the latter than the pistc, does for
the former. Among ourselves hey seem
to be about equally efficacious.

No doubt every farmer who watches
the course of the foreign export trade In
American produce, especially grain, says
the American Culuyator, has noticed the
clearance OF corn or wheat laden ships for
Cork, for orders" This simply implies
that the cargo goes TO await a receiver,
Cork being a most convenient point on
the coast of Great Britain, from which TO
sail for any other port in the United King
dom, or to the Continent In previous
issue it was remarked that the prices for
American produce were regulated by the
Liverpool market This brings up the
question of international values. The adj
vantages that flow from international
trade cannot be overeSumated. In fact,
upon them depends the life of the Ameri-
can market to a greater or lesser extent.
These advantages result from a more eff
fective distribution of the productive
forces of the world. When wheat goes up
in Liverpool it goes up in Chicago, and
the points Of shipment on the Atlantic
coast also notably feel the influence OF the
change. Perhaps the reason for England
controlling the productive markets Of the
world is not sufficiently understood. One
cheaper than it is in the United States
and the population Of the United States
Is much below that of Europe, where there
are more mouths to be fed and more
hands to feed them. The American scale
Of remuneration is much more liberal
than the English, and the proceeds O..
equal values will therefore be distributed
In higher wages and larger profits on one
side than on the other; the sacrifice will
be less on the American than on the Eng
fish side English and American com
modities, therefore, do not exchange for
each other in proportion TO their costs OF
production, as consisting of the real sacri-
fees undergone by the producers. AS
compared with England, wages in the
United States are from twenty-five to fifty
per cent higher. Thus, in the commercial
dealings OF those nations, the product of a
days labor in this country enables the
workman to command the product, be If
wheat, corn, or what not, in round mum.
bers, of day and a thirds labor in Great
Britain. Such is the proportion, measured
By the standard Of cost, in which the two
leading nations Of the world at the present
time exchange their productions. Res
pccting prices, much depends upon the
demand and theyolume Of supply. Wheat
is, of all important commodities, that one
which exhibits, in the movements OF the
market, variation in the most extreme
degree. In 1847 the weekly average price
Of this cereal in England, for example,
had risen TO a point as high as 1928 per
quarter; within a year from that time il
fell to little more than half that price
and in 1851 to as low as ABS. In January,
1854, its maximum elevation was 84s.
American wheat, for shipment in July
next, has been sold at the rate of 42s Sd.
The adaptation Of supply is to great ex'
tent tentative process.

One Illusion Less.

theories almost without number have
iHcn invented to explain why young Ia.
lies do not snore. Mr.. Darwin thinks
that no one snoTes unless he sleeps living
on his personal back, and that, inasmuch
as girls always sleep coiled up after the
custom of cats, they could not snore, even
il they were willing to descend to such
depth of bascneSs. This explanation j :
perfectly worthless. Mr. Darwin's asser-
ton as to the position in which girls sleep
is a mere assumption. He hasno evidence
10 support tais assumption, and in the
nature OF things 1t is impossible that he
should have any, and he ought to be
ashamed othlmsof. Mr.. Huxley pretends
that the proXimate cause of snoring is a
relaxation of the muscles of the face. The
tightness with which the female back hair
IS twisted prior to acknowledgements
this bold but too speculative naturalist
prevents the relaxation of the muscles of
the scalp and face, and hence renders
snoring impTacticable. This is beauti-
full provision of Nature, and shows that
the back hair is not merely an ornament,
but like every other work of Nature,
serves high and holy purpose" If thu
Rev. Joseph Cook had read these remarks,
with what JOY would he have proceeded
70 tear Prof. Huxley's argument to tatters.
To say that girls do not snore because
their back hair is tightly twisted is to ig-
more the fact that the back hair is ALWAYS
detached and hung on the back of chair
whenever its owner prepares for sleep.
How, then, can it exercise any possible
Influence upon snoring} Like Mr.. Oar
win, Prof. Huxley is very able man so
long as he confines himself 10 extinct AMI
mails, but when he undertakes to discuss
girls he falls into abySSes of error. Appa-
rsntly, he is perfectly unaware that back
lair is detachable. "Get thee to a nun
merry, Prof. Huxley, and learn the true
nature of back hair before building theo-
les upon no better basis than your own
gnorance.
