Organic Remains in MeteorIc Stones, Francis Brigham, in Popular Science Monthly for
 November

Stones.
 Francis Brigham, in Popular Science Monthly for November.l
 The great problem, whether or not other celestial bodies besides our own planet are O, in past ages have been inhabited by animP' beings, must be a subject of the deapesS4u-- terest to every thinking being. This question has for some time past been answered in the affirmative with great probability. The con- plete analogy of physical conditions which has been proved to exist in some of her planets of our solar system, and which, with out doubt, must also occur in innumerable planets of other solar systems, allowed the very probable deduction that not only on our own earth higher organic process of evolution has taken place. Still, this con- clusion by analogy had hitherto remained simple, improved hypothesis, although sup ported by good evidence. But now, at last 1t seems that we have obtained @ direct an- swer to this question, and that we are able to see with our own eyes the veritable re- mains of animate beings from another celes- tial body. It has been conclusively demon strated that the meteoric stones which from time to time drop down on the earth have at no time formed part of this planet, and it is now generally conceded that they are the remains of other celestial bodies-probably those of a destroyed planet. In such meteor ic stones, and especially in the class desig- mated as chondrites, on account of the peculiar spherical inclosures found in them, the eminent German geologist, Dr. Hahn, has recently discovered an entire series of organic remains. By laborious process of grinding down and polishing these fragments he suc- ceeded in producing large number of thin laminse or delicate stone shavings which he subjected to a careful series of investigations under the most powerful microscopes. He has recently published book on this subject containing on thirty-two plates more than one hundred representations of these lamin@ of meteorites, every one of which contains different forms and figures, which Dr. Hahn positively identifies not as mineralogical but as organic, and, in fact, as geological forma- tions belonging to the different classes of sponges, corals and crinoids These pictures which have been reproduced from the origi- nal lamine by photography, without any al terations or additions by a draughtsman, must cause great surprise to every geologist and paleontologist, who will at once recognize the structure of well-known coral types on several of the plates. The majority of the meteorites containing those forms are part of the celebrated great meteoric fall of Knyahinya in Hungary, which took place on the 9th of June 1S66

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.


To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-fve thousand (75, 5,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year Kas been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuiG than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders winch he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained,

One of the Liverpool newspapers, follow ing the example of a London contemporary, has ascertained, from actual observation by it's representatives, careful census of at tendance at various churches and chapels in that city. The result is not much more en- couraging than was the result obtained in London early in the summer. Liverpool has 21s places of worship, which furnish 169, 542 sittings, but the attendance on the Sunday in question was only 63. 576, out of total pop ulation of over 100000. Nearly thirty years ago, when the population was about 10000, similar census was taken and with more satisfactory results. Tn re were then 154 churches with 132 1898 sittings. The attend ancs was 1o1, ,9s2 or nearly three -fourths of the capacity of the churches. It is said, how ever, that the attendance was then not so high as the figures made it appear, since the estimates were often those which officials at the churches supplied.

It is claimed by some that the agreement of the Water company to sell to the city at any future time and not to raise the rates to private consumers and all the promises made in the formal offer to the city, are not bind ing upon the company. Of all the prepos- terous arguments used by those who favor the purchase this is by no means the least preposterous. The offer was made in good faith by gentlemen known to us all as up right and honorable in their dealings with their fellow men. It is an insult to them to question their sincerity. Moreover, they could not afford to play any tricks of this kind, even if they were so disposed. The courts would hold them to their offer, and it would not take the Legislature an hour to decide what should be done in case of an ap- peal to it. Voters can rest assured that the company's offer was not made with intent to deceive, and that it is legally binding upon the company.

It is charged that one reason for the aetiv ity of several of the professors in Yale Col lege in favor of the purchase of the water works is their expectation that if the city buys the college will get it's water cheaper than it does now. If this charge is true they might proftably consider whether the col lege would not pay more for water under ''city management" than it does now.

The Senator and the Travelled NIaa, From Perleys Washington Lett erl


 From Perley's Washington Lett erl
 The mystic letters written on visiting cards are source of bewilderment to the Con gressmen from rural districts, who cannot decipher their meaning Once that stalwart Rentuckian, Senator McCreery, met a foppish young constituent who had just returned from Paris, and said to him CT received your fathers name which is the same as yours and supposed that it was his son but what did the letter E. F., written in corner, mean ?' ''Why, Mir. Senator,' replied the travelled man, ''it is customary in Paris to write the initials of certain words on leaving cards. For example, had been going away, I should have written P P. G. the initials of Pour prendre conge-to take leave. As it was, calling myself, wrote E. P, the ini- tials of En Personne-in person." s'oh!" said McCreery, 'I understand" A week or so afterward the two met again, and the young man said: Senator, received your card, but couldn't comprehend what the letters S. B. A. N in the corner meant. Pray interpret them?" "With pleasure" said McCreery, his eyes twinkling with hu- nor. "S. B. A. N. are the initials of Sent By Niggar !"

ing the militia organizations of this country
 His party found them vastly better sort
 of soldiers than they sexpected. He was
 cognizant of the fact that the militia of the United States had worked wonders. hotb
 in the war of the Revolution and in the great
 rebellion. He freely admitted that the Ger
 man military had profted great deal as military scientists from the study of Ameri- can warfare. Many new inventions had been discovered in America appertaininp to the proper methods of warfare during the rebel lion which had been of great use to the Ger man armies in the French war, and, before all, the American system of field Qualifications had been especially studied and great use had been made of 1t by the German army. Again. the ''tlrallleur, or mode of destroying the advance guard in use in American tactics had been of great value to them. In Gin cinnati he was greatly pleased and aston. lshed at the immensity of some of the manu- factories, especially with one that is said to turn out some 300 buggies and wagons per day. This was almost beyond his coDrre henslon He could not see where in America all these wagons could be used In Germany It was luxury to own a wagon, nearly all those In use there being the heavy army wagons, though some were imported from thls country. The reason for this lack of use was that the timber (hickory) was too hard to mend if once broken. and that tbe German people used nothing that could not be mended. He thought the American neo- pie too iav1sh In the expenditure of money. With the Music Hall he was greatly pleased. and said there was nothing like it he had ever seen.
 As to the reception tandered himself and his associates he said too much had been done, but they did not look upon it as beino for themselves, but thought the American people took this occasion to express a desire to want to stand on friendly terms with the German element in this country as well as to the cultivated people of Germany itself. He was glad to see this expression of feeling. for the two were sister nations of the same orlg1na! descent, and he hoped they should go on the road to progress hand in hand. Their institutions differed somewhat vet there were similar ones here and there which suited both nations These differ ences, however, should be no hindrance to the friendly and commercial relations be- tween the countries. He greatly admired American beauty as he had seen it upon the streets of the cities he had visited, and pro nounced 1t more striking than in any coun- try he had ever journeyed In conclusion. Colonel Von Steuben said he could not find words with which to express his praise of the Anglo American population, and the manner Tn which the leading gentlemen had everv-S where treated his party. Their greatest re- gret was the want of knowledge of the Enc fish language, which alone prevented them from reciprocating.

GLADSTONE AND THE BOERs.-

GLADSTONE AND THE BOERs.-
The action Of Premier Gladstone in
making peace with the Dutch Beers
will be another feater in his cap. The
fact that he is bold and just enough
to propose or accept peace while at
war with weak enemy shows that
he has the courage of convictions
and dares to pursue humane and
considerate policy in the face of a
jealous, strong, hostile aud FESTIVE
minority. The trouble with the
Beers is to be laid at the feet of
Beaconsfield. The making of peace
is to be credited to his great rival
now in power. Mr.. Gladstone is the
only living statesman who attempts
to carry the high morality and high
principles of private life and Of chris

will be very popular in England, we

LIQUOR Observation-Disclosures
tory legislation seems to have trav-
eled west and grown up with the
country. Extreme measures in re-.
gard to the sale of liquors are all the
rage in Western States. Kansas has
adopted a constitutional enactment
more stringent than any yet put in
operation on this continent. Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska and other
Western States are doing the same
thing. Nebraska closed its legisla-
tive session a few weeks ago after
having passed law fixing the price
of licenses at from $500 to 81, 900 a
year, and provided that saloon-keep-
ers must give bond of 5000 and
be responsible for civil damages for
any unlawful act that may be done
by persons who may have become
Intoxicated at their establishments.
A bill was also passed making it a
misdemeanor to treat a man to al.
coholic drinks. The sublime conf.
dence shown in framing such laws
for the frontier States, where "treat.
ing" is an established social custom
and liquor a sort of legal tender,
should comfort prohibitionists
throughout the land. If these laws
are approved and made operative in
the wild West, what may be expect.

Southern Cotton Mills.

There is no subject, in industrial
circles, that is creating so much in
terest in Europe and America, as the
subject of cotton factories at the
South. Until the last few years, the
South has been looked upon as mere
ly a producer of the raw material.
That she would ever compete with
the great English mills, or even with
those of New England, either in
quantity or quality of manufactured
goods; was never dreamed of by for
eign manufacturers, and certainly
was as little thought of by
Southern people. Southern planters
seemed content to till the generous
soil and to tread on in the beaten
track their foretathers trod. They
were satisfied when, in the balmy
morns of Autumn, their eyes viewed
the fleecy fields filed with happy
pickers. 1t was their delight to see
the flying fingers gathering the long
locks of lint into the broad baske cts.
They were satisfied when they saw
their big bales ready to roll forward
to market. And the markets of the
East and Europe never doubted
that the South would continue to
send to them, for all time, all the
cotton she could raise. But times
have changed, and a new order of
things is fast springiug up. Not
only does England see but the East
begins to fear and the South to re-
alize that the day is fast approach.
ing when all the cotton made in the
South will be manufactured in the
South. There is no reason why it
should not be so: there is every rea-
son why it should be so. We defy
any country upon earth to show the
facilities for manufacturing possess
ed by the South. Indeed her supe-
riority is already conceded, and it
now only remains for the interests
of labor and capital to adjust them.
selves to the new order of things
This adjustment has already begun
to move towards it's grand fulfill.
ment. Small and slow as it may
seem, it is nevertheless an assured
fact. 1t is impossible to stop the
tide of manufacturing industries al.
ready set towards the Sunny South.
Improving as she is in her agricul.
tural interests, the work in the fac
tories is destined at no distant day
to overtake and to keep even pace
with her works in the fields.
