But, unfortunately, the mathematicians
and natural philosophers would not give
time enough, and they ordered the
biologists to "hurry up their phe-

other reasons believing that the earth
could not have been so old as the geolo-
gists demanded. Now, however, the
mathematicians have discovered the new

The Fairly European Whaicrs.

The Basque fishermen are handsome
race. They 60 away on their fishing
voyages for many days, and are brave,
honest and Industrious; while both men
and women are always cheerful and
light hearted. They belong to o people
who, for centuries, have repealed foreign
invasion, have enjoyed free institutions,
and made their own laws. The Basque
fishermen are the descendants Of the old
whalers, and retain their traditions.
They have from time to time
produced naval worthless whose names
are historical. Among them are
Sebastian del Cano, native
of the little fishing town of Guetaria,
who was the first circumnavigator Of the
Philippine Islands; Machin de Munguia,
the Spanish Grenville, and Cherruca,
whose gallantry at the battle of Trafal-
gar won for him the admiration OF his
English foes. Another proof of the i'm
portance of the whale fishery on the
northern coast of Spain, and probably
also of its antiquity, is fact that no less
than six of the towns have q whale for
their coat of arms. This charge in the
arms of Fuenterrabia. Over the portal
of the first house in a steep old street of
Guetaria there Is shield of arms con-
sisting OF whale amid waves of the sea.
At Motrico the town arms consists OF
whale in the sea, harpooned,
and boat with men holding
the line. The same device is carved on
the wall of the town hall of Lequeitio.
The arms of Bermeo and Castro Urdu
ales also contain o whale. was assured
that "vigias" or lookout posts were
established on the headlands and high
up the mountains overlooking the fish
ing towns, whence notice was given
directly whale was seen spoutiAg in the
offing, and soon the boats were in pur-
suit. On the mountain of Talaya-mendi,
lookout mountain) above Zarauz,
there are some ruined walls, which, ac-
cording to Madoz, are the remains of one
of these watch-towers whence warnings
were sent down the moment q whale was
in sight. In some of the towns there
are records which throw light on the
whale fishery, but (chieAy during the
French occupstion) most OF the ancient
archives have been destroyed or are lost.
Fortunately this is not universally the
case. In the town of Lequeitio eight of
the ''libros de iabrica," or fabric rolls of
the church, commencing from the year
1910, have been preserved, which con-
tains much interesting information

Preh'etOrIc Tides.

At present the moon is 240. 900 miles
away; but there was time when the
moon was only one-sixth part of this, or
say 40, 900 miles away. That time must
have correspondent to some geological
epoch. 1t may have been earlier than
the time when Cocoon lived. 1t is more
likely to have been later. want to
point out that when the moon was only
1900 miles away, we had in 1t a geolo-
Qical engine of transcendent power. Ii
the present tide be three, and If the
earlier tides be ZIG times their present
amount, then it is plain that the ancient
tides must have been 64S feet.
There can be no doubt thai in ancient
times tides of this amount and even tides
very much larger must have occurred. l
ask the biologists to take an account OF
these facts, and to consider the effects
tidal rise and fall of 648 feet twice day.
Dwell for moment on the sublime spec
tacle of q tide 64S feet high and see what
an agent it would be in the performance
of geological work! We are are stand
ing now, suppose, some 500 feet above
the level of the sea. The sea is a good
many miles from Birmingham, yet If the
rise and fall at the coast were 64S feet,
Birmingham might be as great seaport
as Liverpool. Three-qusrters tide
would bring the sea into the streets Of
Birmingham. At high tide there would
be covered, and the tops Of few chin
neys alone would indicate the site of the
town.
In few hours more the whole Of this
vast food would have retreated. Not
only would it leave England high and
dry, but probably the Straits Of Dover
would be drained, and perhaps even
Ireland would in literal sense b.

Babies F I'd.

There are about twenty European pre-
parations styled infant foods, beginning
with that of Nestle, and at least twice as
many American, all of which profess to
furnish complete nutrition for the in
FAINT during the first few months of its
existence, while yet the conversion of
starch into dextrine and sugar is beyond
the capacity of the unframed digestive
function. The examination of these
with the microscope, assisted by such
simple tests as iodine, which turns
starch cells blue, and gluten Tor
albuminous) granules yellow, has en-
gagged the careful attention of DR..
Ephraim Cutter, of Cam bridge, and his
results will startle most mothers who
have relied upon the extravaganza pre-
lenses set forth in the circulars of manu-
facturers. Eliza McDonough, who pre-
coded DR.. Cutter in this field, has been
in measure discredited; but it appears
that her assertion-that the starch, so
far from being transformed into dex-
trine, was not sufficiently altered
to render the recognition of its
source difficult, whether from wheat,
rye, corn or barley-was strictly true,
and that these pretentious foods are,
without exception, nearly valueless for
dietetic purposes. All Ct them consist
of baked -four mainly, either alone or
mixed with sugar, milk or salts. In
some cases, the baking has been very in
adequately performed, and The doctor
found one that consisted merely of wheat
and oats whose starch cells were proxi-
mately in theii natural condition. The
general result of DIR. Cutters examina-
ton may be stated in the brief terms as
follows: There was scarcely q single
one of the so-called infant foods that
contained a quantity of gluten as large
as that contained in ordinary wheat flour.
That is to say, we'll compounded wheat
Cruel is superior to any OF them, partic-
ularly when boiled with milk, and
mothers are in error who place any de-
pendsnce in them. AS respects one very
expensive article, processing to possess
270 parts in every 1000 of phos-
phatic salt in connection with
gluten, DR.. Gutter was unable to
find any gluten at all. The thing
was nearly pure starch. sold at an ex-
orbitant price as nerve and brain food,
and great remedy for ricketts,. So all
through the list Sometimes trace of
gluten was present. more frequently
none at all. In one case there were 80
parts of starch to 10 of gluten; but this
was exceptional, and the majority were
less valuable, ounce for ounce, than or
binary wheat flour. Considering the
semi philanthropic pretensions that have
been put forth by the manufacturers OF
these foods, some of them sustained by
the certificates of eminent physicians,
the report of DIR. Cutter is one of the
dreariest comments upon human nature
that has recently fallen under the notice
of the journalist. But if the revelations
he has made of fraud and pretense on
the part of the manufacturers in this
field shall serve to protect mothers from
further betrayal and to rescue infant life
from auack articles of nutriment, his
work, though giving a tremendous
shock to our sensibilities and to our
faith in medical certificates, will not
have been done in vain.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

TIE Rural World says: An orchard is
as indispensable to the farmer as gar
den. 1t furnishes q healthful food, q
great luxury. 1t attaches children to
home. 1t enhances the value of the
farm. 1t pays to plant fruit trees. All
winter long, the farmer, if he has an
orchard, hss got an unfailing supply of
apples to go to. They can be cooked,
eaten raw, converted into cider, or sold
at good prices. Orchards are as neces-
sary as COWS, or sheep or hogs. Don't
fail to plant good orchards.
One of the most successful orchardists
who destroys the codling worm by turn
ing sheep into his orchards, is j. S.
Woodward, Of Lockport. His rule is to
put in twice as many sheep as the grass
OF his bearing orchard will feed, and to
make up the deficiency with grain. To
prevent all the danger of the sheep at
lacking the bark of the trees, he makes
mixture of carbolic soap, and the drop
pings of the sheep, and coats the bark Of
the trees with the mixture by means Of
coarse brush, as high as the sheep will
reach.
In Mr.. Rutter's late excellent work on
the peach, he shows that the free use of
alkaline washes and manures, especially
potash and lime, will preserve . peach
orchard from the yellows, as we'll rs
from other destroyers Of its fertility. Mr..
Rutter has had thirty-five years OF very
extensive and varied experience, and his
reliability 10 beyond question. So far

In the Whole History of Medicine

No preparation has ever performed
such marvellous cures or maintained so
wide reputation, as Ayers Cherry Pee
tOral, which is recognized as the worlds
remedy for all diseases of the throat and
lungs. It's long continued series of
wonderful cures in all climates has
made it universally known as a safe and
reliable agent to employ. Against ordi-
nary colds, which are the fOrerunners of
more serious disorders, it acts speedily
and surely, always relieving suffering,
and often saving life. The protection It
affords, by its timely use in throat and
chest disorders, makes it an invaluable
remedy to be kept always on hand in
every home. No person can afford to be
without it, and those who have once
used it never will. From their knOwl-
edge of its composition and effects,
physicians use the Cherry PectOral ex-
tensively in their practice, and clergy
men recommend it. 1t is absolutely GER
tain in all remedial effects, and will al
ways cure where cures are possible. For
sale by all dealers.

is not so enthusiastic over Republican
prospects as the Cleveland Herald. Hear
what it says:
The Cleveland Herald lauds the plat
form to the skies, not even limiting at
the cruel neglect of the oppressed people
of Ireland. The Herald assures us that
Ohio is permanently Republican State.
We hope so; but past elections do not
tell that story. We have had four years
of Democratic government in ten years,
and one of the two senatOrships from
Ohio has been held by the Democracy
for more years than that. Even that
great trOtter, Charles Foster, had barely
1924 majority of the popular vote last
fall, fraction so small as hardly to be
counted. We predict that Cleveland,

A NIGHT OF HORROR.

The great Pacific railroad was COM
pleted only as far as JulesbuTg, in Color
ado, and from Fort Sedgewick, a mill
tary station on the opposite side of the
Platte river, passengers onward were
compelled to take overland line of
stages. The Indians were troublesome,
and as we neared the mountains, and
night was coming on, felt little un-
easy, for fate or fortune had decreed
that should occupy a seat on one OF
Butterfield's coaches.
We had two women and a child with
us, and that increased the interest of
our situation in case Of an attack. We
had two soldiers acting as guard, and
the passengers-fOur men-as we'll as
the driver, were all heavily armed; so
we felt that we could make very good
fight of it If necessary.
Pausing for supper at ranch, the
prospect was not there frightened by

cerning the daring and cruelty of the
Sioux nation. Rut we received an ad-

A SAD CASE.

At Atlanta, Georgia, the other day, a
sad case of injustice was developed in
the issue of the pardon of John Turner,
by Governor COlquitt. Turner was con-
victed in 1874, at Chatham County Court,
of assault with intent to kill another
man, and sentenced to COnvict's Camp
for ten years, and assigned to the Dade
Coal Mines. In the following year
Robert Young was convicted at the Same
Court of burglary and sentenced to
fifteen years. They met at the mines,
but nothing except Turner's occasional
quiet protest was ever heard or developed
to indicate his innocence. Now, how
ever, when he has served over eight
years of his term it turns out that he
was entirely innocent. Young, who has
recently manifested symptoms of a re-
ligiOus awakening, made statement to
one of the officials that caused the keen
est interest to be aroused in the case of
Turner. The statement was in fact
confession that he YOung) was guilty Of
the crime for which Turner was being
punished. Application for Turner's par
don was at once prepared and indOTsed
by all the PenitentiaTy officials. Young
will now have the ten years added on to
his present sentence, which will keep
him in camp until the year 1900.
