THE EPIDEMICoF ASSASSIN .irfoN
Assassination, says the Baltimore
American, is getting to be so prom
inent factor in the politics of the
closing years OF the nineteenth cen
tury that 1t should engage the at
ten'ion OF the ablest statesmen and
legislators with view to mskinp
the penalties so effective that the
most determined of men will shrink
from attempting the crime. If il be
urged that this is the savage fashion
oil looking at the matter, we can
only reply that Cancellation and
mild PENALTIES / have not checked the
horror, and that il one policy fails
another must be tried OF course,
we do not propose reversion to such
punishments as the tortures in flicted
upon Balthazsr Gerard or Francois
Ravaillac. for thew wee equally in
ethcaclous in estopping political
murders as are the laws of this
highly civilized era. But special
penalties can probably be devised
that would have some effect. Eng.
land tried it when Parliament hit
upon the expedient Of the whipping.
post for attempted asassins of the
Queen, and the result was beneficial.
since 1868 the list of victims of po-
Iltlcal murderers embraces Presi
dents Lincoln and Garfield, Gar
Alexander II; President Prado, Of
Peru; General Prim, DICTATOR Of
Spain; Lord Cavendish and Mr..
Burke. Within the same period
Kaiser Wilhelm has been shot at
t|ice, King Hpmbart and the Vice
roy of India each once, while a Snl.
tan OF Turkey was done to death in
The secrecy oi his eeragIo. We do
not include In the catalogue Mac
Leans snot at Queen Victoria, as
that has been decided to have been
the deed Of an insane man. But
the leading feature OF the sanguin-
airy record is that the assassinations
have occurred in nations widely
separated and existing under the
most diverse conditions Of govern
ment. Republican presidents are
hardly safer than autocratic tyrants:
and II sturdy common sense had not
resisted the plea OF insanity ia Quit
ean's case, our executives in times OF
Partlsan turmoil might be in az
much danger as the present Gar Of
Russia This ou:burst of political
murder is doubtless Lraceable to the
excitement Of evil passions by pub
Iic questions, but when it touches 80
many OF the great nations it is
time for each OF them TO
consider whether it is un-
manageable, or whether governments
do not possess the wisdom and power
sufficient to crush it out.

The terrible mill explosions in diff.
ferent parts Of the world ,psrticul arly
IN Minneapolis, have appeared mys-
terlous in their origin. Perhaps the
theory Of Prof. T. w. -Tobin, advan-
ced at ths reception of the Mllers'
Association by the Polytechnic So
ciety OF Louisville on Thursday last
may be sufficient to explain the cause
o! some of these explosions. Certain.
ly nothing so plausible has beer ad-
vanced TO account for the sudden
destruction Of the mills in Glasgow,
Scotland, aud in Minneapolis, and

Where the Apo IL HOnOred.

The ancient Egyptians did not repre-
sent the ape as caricature Of man, but
1dealized it and paid it religious honors.
as they did to many other animals. A
oynocephalus was kept and worshiped
IN the temple at Hermopolis, while q
cercopithecus was honorcd at Thebes.
Mummies of apes have been found in
both of thebe cities. The ape also has
Its place in the hieroglyphics rs the rep
resentative of the sound cen" and is
called Elm in Coptic. The god Anubis,
who, at the Judgment of the dead in
Amenti Cor the land Of death), put the
heart OF the deceased in the balance of
Justice in order to report the result to
Ihoth, is figured with the head of q
cynocephalus, or dog-faced baboon.
Ihoth himself generally appears asso-
clated with the attribute Of the cvno-
cephalus, the emblem of the dog-star.
The temple of Queen Hatasu, at Dcr-cl-
bahri, Is adorned with inscriptions re-
iating to grand expedition into the
bs!sam- bearing land of Punt, the Egyp-
tian Ophir, in which the offerings sent
by the King of chat country are de-
scribed: The transports were loaded
10 the full with the wonderful products
OF the land of Punt, and the various
6uilding-wooods of the godly land. with
heaps OF balsamS nf incense, with green
incense-trees. with ebony, with iyorv
adorned with gold from the land of
Amn, with liquolice- wood, chefit-wood,
with frankincenSe, holy balSams and
eye-paints, with cynocephaluscs and
baboons and hounds, and with
leopard-skins. Never was the like
brought to any King of Egypt since the
world has stood.'' According TO
Brugsch, the incense-trees stood on the
decks of the vessels, and the apes, let
loose. gamboled in the rigging, to the
great delight of the sailors.
In the Indian Ramayana, where the
animals are praised as allies of Rama,
apes are depicted in groups, under the
direction OF King who oheys the mods
OF Kama. They are not, however, in
troduced as idealzed apes, changed
men or incarnate demons, but as verlta-
BILE apes with all their less pleasant pc
oullarlties realistically portrayed A
favorite figure of the poem is Hanuman,
tho fool Of the serious drama, around
whom a fabulous atmosphere has all
ready gathered. In him may be recop-
nized the Human of the Hindoos, the
Mandi of the Malabars, the sacred apo,
Se1nnopithecuS enteiluS. He is an Atlas.
who bears mountains on his shoulders.
A child of tho wind and the air, he
affords the most agreeable symbolism
OF the simian character. Like a rash
child, he tried to go up to the sun, and
still carries romembrancer of his mis-
hap iii the defarmity of his lower jaw,
which is longer than the upper one
With his foolhardy, comic ways, he
cheered and comforted Rama's beloved
wife Sta. and helped deliver her from
the terrible Lanka, the CITY of the De-
mon-King Ravana, In gratitude for
this, Rama crowned him and embraced
him in the sight of both hosts, of men
and of gods.-Dr. Paczck, IN Popular
Science Monthlu.

The Probable Wheat Yield.

The only statistics which have yet
been given for the yield per acre of the
present crop are those of Illinois, where
the official report places the yield at 1871
bushels per acre, against 17-7 in 1880.
1t is. Of course, not assumed that the
yield per acre in Illinois is to be ac-
cepted as the average for the United
States. But there are some reasons
why the yield per acre in Illinois may
be accepted as an index to the average
yield of the United States, In preference
to accepting the yield of almost any
other one State as such an index: First
Illinois is the largest wheat-raising
State in the Union, and in the three
years from 1879 to 1881 inclusive pro-
duced about twelve per cent. of all the
wheat raised in the United States.
Second-Illinois lies nearly in the center
of the group of ten States comprising
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, Wis
Kansas and Missouri, which produced
in 1880 about three-fourths of the wheat
crop OF the United States. Illinois NAV
therefore be presumed to represent the
average ofthe meteorological experience
and crop conditions of this group of
States. In 1880 the average Yield per
acre In Illinois was 1917 bushels, while
that Of the United States was 1871
bushels per acre. Illinois was therefore
22 per cent. above the general average.
1t is an established fact that the average
yield of wheat per acre in different sec
tions of the United States con-
tinues at about the same rela-
tive difference, as, for instance,
the average in the Southern States is
always only about half as much per acre
as in tho group of States above men
Sioned while in the far Northwest the
yield IS always greater per acre than in
the ten States mentioned. There seems
no objection, therefore. to assuming that
certain States are always above and 9TH
ers always below the general average of
the United States. Now, if we may as
sumo that the present yield of 49,
bushels in Illinois Is also about % per
cent. above the average, it would make
the average for the United States say
IA 43-10O bushels per acre, or just about
10 per cent, over 1880, which. upon an
area of 81, 200. 900 acres, would be $685.
900 bushels, q result which differs
less than the half of one per cent. from
our previous estimate, which was made
without any such calculation rs produces
the present figures.
Some argument will of course be made
against assuming an increased average
yield per acre of ten per cent. over the
crop Of 1880. But it will be remember
ed that there has been no year before
this when the crops of spring wheat and
winter wheat were both good-eXcept
possibly 1877, when the average crop of
wheat throughout the United States was
Is 86-1O0 bushels per acre. or only about
sumed as the average yield per acre for
the present crop TO to p odTce an 9Sgre-
600 acres.-M Y EUeni110 Post.
