The average American is good-natured
and long-suffering, but we submit that
the business Of poking nasty newspaper
pictures into the faces of travellers on
the cars, of pedestrians. of displaying
them on the counters side by side with
decent works, or still worse. in shop
windows for the corruption of youth,
should be stopped.
There is evil enough in man that can
not be suppressed. but that which it is
within the power of decent men to do
ought to be done in the way Of prevent
ing the perversion Of youthful minds by
contact with the vile matter issued from
week TO week to the corruption Of
morals and the disgrace Of journali,m.

Does the Day Increase in Length

1t is we'll known that Professor G.
Darwin has associated what NAV be. re-
garded as q new theory of coSmical eyO-
luton with the gradual retardation of
the earths rotation spin, and corse-

Stone, formerly chief assistant al Green
witch, and now the head OF the Radcliffe
Observatory, Oxford. has just published
some calculations, which, though they
do not actually disprOye the change in
the earth's rotation rate, throw grave
doubt on the only direct evidence ever
recognized in its favor. When i was
found that Hansen lunar tables do not
accord with the evidence respecting the

ancient eclips6s. twas suggested III eH-
