ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.
The invention OF the thermometer
is claimed by several persons ut
about the same time. The best au-
thorities give it to Dribbel, OF Ael-
maer, In 1909. The reason for zero
being placed where it lie. instead OF
the freezing point OF water, was based
upon an error. When Fahrenheit
tested his thermometer IL was on the
coolest day OF the coolest winter ever
known In the locality where he livei,
and he supposed that the point
reached by the mercury was the low
est point possible for it to descend
that it could not be any colder-and
he called that point zero.
The Church OF England became
separate from the Romish Church In
1886, during the reign. and by the acts
Of Henry VIII. Having divorced
himself from his first wife, in order
TO marry Anne Bolcyn. he was ex
communicated. Whercupon, with Sir
Thomas Cromwell managing Parlia-
ment- and Archbishop Cranmer con-
trolling the clergy. he threw off the
spiritual authority OF the Pope, and
declared himself the head OF the
Church OF England Monasteries and
converts were abolished by him, and
their revenues appropriated to the
crown, and under his son Edward VI,
the separation was made final and
complete, by throwing aside the old
Latin service, the ceremonies OF mass,
confession. &c. and introducing the
present Book OF Common Prayer"
compiled by Cranmer.
The entire amount OF gold In the
world at present Is estimated at sew
en- billions 81 600, 0O0, O0O OF value In
the United States coinage. A billion
is such big number that the aver
age mind scarcely takes it in. A
thousand million Is more readily com
pretended; consequently seven thou
sand millions means more, verbally
and financially, than seven billions.
How much solid gold would that
make? Pure gold Is more than nine
teen times az heavy as water, and n
cubic foot OF water weighs 1000
ounces avoirdupois. A cubic foot OF
gold would weigh, therefore, over 49,
600 ounces avoirdupcis, and each
such ounce OF fine gold Is worth. as
We reckon, rather more than SIS; so
that a cubic foot OF the precious
metal would have a value OF about

Hogs Will be Up Again.

Farmers, as a rule, arc apt TO judge
The future by the present. Because
a crop sells this year for less than
the cost Of production. they seem to
think IL will always be so, and they
declare they will never waste their
time in raising that crop again,
whereas it may be that only next
season it may be the best paying
product they could grow. JUST now
there is a general feeling that it does
not pay to raise pork, because the
price has been very low the past
season. But all farmers know that il
has been a paying crop; many have
always made il their principal money
crop. 1t IL reasonable to think that
it may DO so again. Our correspond

A Puzzle for PhOnetIekers.

A fast man on fast day took his

he rose and took off hose, and went

put the rose on the end Of his hose
which as everyone knows, is a sort
of nose. SO his hose waters every

Editor Repwblieap have just
read the article on the reports OF the
proceedings of teachers institutes.
II "Pedagogue' will go with me TO an
institute, where the teachers OF some
township have assembled to discuss
the subjects prepared by some Com
mittse on Programme" he will know
why these reports are generally so
upinteresfiDg. When he takes a sur
vey OF the teachers assembled. and
hear them express their ideas on vari-
subjects. he will then know that re-
port OF the proceedings can not but
be dry. He will find there some ten
or dozen young men who have
.ciphered' through Rays third book,
and have. by some means or other,
procured license to teach, 1t may be
through the Intervention Of some in
fuential friend, or by coming in at
the eleventh hour. as many did last
fall, being licensed TO fill up the
schools regardless OF qualifications.
There are ex'eptions)
Now listen to what they have to
say. Perhaps the first thing on the
programme Is Compound Numbers. y
Well, in the name OF common sense,
don't these teachers understand com
pound numbers? II they do. why
discuss such a subject In institute?
Have We not got Ray. and Stoddard.
and Robinson? Then why not take
their text books for that, and discuss
some subject not found in hem? But
the teacher to whom the subject has
been assigned takes the floor, coughs
few times. and proceeds to tell what
he knows about the subject, and pre-
eious little il is-not even as much as
old Ray. While he occupies the
door, just notice the township Trus-
tee: see how he twists around In his
chair and looks out OF first one win
dow and then another. and taking
chew OF tobacco, looks all around him
aud then spits close to the stove.
Watch the teachers chew their lead
pencils. pretending to take notes
while they are only practicing spen-
cerian fiourishss on the BIT OF paper
before them. Well, the speaker final

Now comes discussion which
needs to be heard to be appreciated.
No reporter can report 1t. Mark
Twain never undertook such a task.
Some very queer criticisms will be
INDUCED In, some ideas advanced,
and some not according to- estab-
lished usage language will be used;
but they are having an institute, and
are saving a days wages, which they
think they would lose by staying
away. They are doing the best they
can. and "Peda ;ogue" has no bust
ness to be poking fun at them--us
We are ashamed OF ourselves any

THE radical cry of revolution" does
not seem to scare any one, at least not
the moneyed men. judging by the re-
ports. The following from the Cleve-
land Leader of Tuesday, shows how the
bonds go off, and indicates unshaken
confidence, even if the Democrats do
control Congress. Read it:
The four per cent bonds are still in
great demand, and the bank syndicate is
selling them rapidly. The First National
of New York announced last Friday that
twenty-five of the one hundred and
twenty one millions taken through that
bank the week before had already been
sold. The price has raised to 1913 and
10l 3 4, but such is the demand for them
that holders of other bonds which can
not be called in for several years, are
selling them to invest in the fours, The
new $40 refunding certificates are also
very popular. Over 100000 in them
was sold at the Treasury Department on
Saturday, in sums of $40 to $l00. The
same day, at the New York Postoffice,
$l65, 800 were sold, and $7l 790 the day
before, making the total sold there $780,
900. A large carpet manufacturing firm
has arranged for the sale of these small
bonds to each of Its fifteen hundred en-
ployes.

In England, in 1874, a law was passed
forbidding the presence of armed troops
within two miles of the election polls.
Six years later, in I741, the authorities,
forgetting the existence of the statute,
took certain action, which, with its re-
suits, is narrated in Brightley's "Lead-
ing Cases on Elections" as follows:
During the corrupt administration of
Sir Robert Walpole, at an election held
for the city of Westminster, under an
order signed,by three magistrates of the
county, body of armed soldiers were
marched up and stationed in the church.
yard of st. Paul, Covent Garden, in the
vicinity of the poll; and on this being
shown to the House of Commons, they
passed resolution affirming "that the
presence of a regular body of armed SOL
diers at an election of members to serve
in Parliament, is high Infringement Of
the liberties of the subject, a manifest
violation Of the freedom of elections,
and an open defiance of the laws and
constitution of this kingdom" The high
bailiff was taken into custody by order
of the House, and the three magistrates
who signed the order were brought to
the bar and reprimanded by the Speak
er. upon their knees, as the House had
directed; and after this the House passed

IN CHILL AND PERU.
Latest news from South America is to
the effect that a telegram was received
in Lima on the 1st inst, that Chilli had
declared war against Peru. 1t is said
that Lavalle's mission to Chill has proved
a failure; hence the steps now taken by
the Chiliau government. 1t is officially
stated that Peru now has in Iquique a
force of 900 men, we'll armed and
equipped, and this equals in numbers the
Chilian detachments now on Bolivian
soil. The harbor of Iquique is being
fortified and will be armed with heavy
guns. The Chilians are rapidly advanC-
ing, and extending their conquests to-
ward the boundary line between Bolivia
and Peru. The latest acquisition of the
Chilian Admiral is Tocopillas, small
port Of Bolivia, north of Magellan
straits, and the forces on land are within
hailing distance of Peruvian territory.
Bolivia is energetically engaged in pre-
pairing for the field Letters from La
Paz, the capital, says President Dsza, at
the head of his troops, will soon be
ready to move, but it is evident the ac-
tion of Peru is awaited in order that
combined operations may be effected.
A disgraceful assault was made on the
Peruvian consulate at Atofoglista by
Chilian mob, The Peruvian flag was
destroyed, and the Consul, DR.. Seguin
was obliged to fly for his life. The Chill
ian Minister of War, Col. Saavedra, was
present, but could not prevent the action
of the infuriated mob. A similar attack
was made at Valparaiso fortnight be-
fore, but an ample apology was made,

WHEN the resolution of the New York
Legislature for committee to welcome
Grant came up in the Senate, Senator
Ecclesine moved to amend it by in
structing the committee to invite Bel
KNAPP, Grants thieving Secretary of War;
Babcock, the District Rings dishonest
measurer; Robeson, the swindling Sec
retary of the Navy, and Boss Shepherd,
the Washington Boss, to participate in
the reception. Mr.. Ecclesine explained
that Grant would unquestionably be glad
to see these old associates. Republicans
promptly objected to the motion, but
Mr.. Ecclesine expressing surprise that
the Republicans should not desire the
presence of Grants particular friends,
and disclaiming any intention OF inter-
fering with any of their arrangements,
withdrew the amendment.

SENATOR DAVID DAVIS made plain the
absurdity of peGolyer Garfeld's shrieks
of revolution, in his speech upon the
Army bill. Senator Davis's position as
an independent member entitled him to
the attention that was given by men of
both parties, and his sentiments, not ut
tered without preparation, commend
themselves as honest and sound. He is
for removing the army from the polls,
for freedom to vote, and for the enact
msnt of such legislation as will restore
business confidence and prosperity. As
the close friend of Abraham Lincoln, he
felt justified in the belief that Lincoln
would have favored the repeal in times
of peace of the measure that was enact
ed in the war.
