improvement in the affairs of that

his administration which have thus

expenses have been largely reduced
without any sacrifice of necessary
repairs or needed work upon the

necessary to reduce the tolls to 26
cents, 'the lowest figure ever charged
during the history of the canal"
there has been saving of yearly

Trouble in discovering the source
of the Nile seems to be an inability to
find the place where the Nile rises.
We throw out this assertion with that
fearless broadness characteristic of
the man whose words are always ac-
cepted. For years the English geog-
raphers have been very uneasy with
regard 10 the Nile. They knew no
whether it arose in Colorado or spout
ed from the Alps. 1t is now gener-
ally conceded that the great river
comes from u hole in tie ground.
The discovery was made by quiet
unassuming man. He did not expect
to become famous. After all, it is by
mere accident that we become known.

Mad is only too demulcent word to
image their disgust.

Why CONTAGIOUS DISEASES At
TACK BUT ONCE.-Professor Tyndall
thus endeavors to explain the i'm
munity obtained against second at
tack of contagious diseases. "One
of the most extraordinary and I'M
accountable experiences in medicine
was the immunity secured by sim
gle attack of communicable disease
against future attacks of the same
malady. Smallpox, typhoid, Or scar
latina, for example, was found as a
general rule to occur only once in a
lifetime of the individual, the sue
cessful passage through the disorder
apparently rendering the body invul-
nerable. Reasoning from analogy, l
have ventured to express the opinion
that the rarity of second attacks of
communicable disease was due to the
removal from the system, by the
parasitic crop, Of some ingredient
necessary to the growth and prop
agation of the parasite"
SEvENTEEN-YE Y EAR LoCUsTs.-The
earliest printed notice of locusts in
this country Is apparently to be found
in passage in the ''Transactions of
the Royal Society in 1885," which
says: "Some few years since, in
New England, there was such a
swarm of q certain kind of insects
that for the space of 200 miles they
destroyed all the trees of the country.
There appeared innumerable little
holes in the ground, out of which
they broke forth in The form of mag
gots, which turned into flies with a
kind of tail or sting which they stuck
into the tree and thereby enveuomed
and killed it." Whether these Gin
sects'' were the seventeen year locusts,
which are now thought to be COM
paratively harmless to vegetation, is
an interesting subject of speculation.

ON Public Buildings - A Batch OF

-" WASHINGTON CITY, July 20.-A. B. Null
lett, former supervising architect, has
written vigorous protest against the en-
ployment Of convict labor in the construc
tion Of public buildings, which has been laid
before tho secretary Of the treasury. In his
letter Mr.. Mullett says:
have seen with great regret the pub.
lished statement that you have awarded q
contract for work on the postoffice build
ing at Peoria, Ills, to be executed by con-
vict labor, the solicitor of the treasury
having decided that there was no law that
authorized y,'u to re ject such a bid. Permit
me. Mr.. Secretary, to express the hope that
the statement is unfounded. Ii, however, it
is true that you have been led to believe
there is law or custom to compel such an
award, let me disabuse your mind of such
belief and entraat you to cancel it, and give
the contract to a fair and respon-
sible employer Of honest labor. There is
neither law nor custom which requires you
to accept such proposal. and, SO far as
am ware, no instance when such an award
has f;a been nm made =: BY your department. The ne
that eompels You to accept or re-
tsct proposals for work performed
by convict labor. Indeed, any other
rule would render honest compe-
htion impossible. as a moments considera-
tion win show: The custom Of the depart
as well as public policy, alike require the
rejection in this instance. The ability of the
builder to furnish the required quail
ity of work must be ascertained
before his claim to be the lowest
bidder can be ascertained. 1t is alb
surd to pretend that the same result
can be attained by convict labor as by the
employment Of skilled mechanics l trust,
Mr.. Secretary. that you will set the seal of
the treasury department upon this attempt
to degrade and pauperize honest labor by
promptly rejecting the bid and prohibiting
your subordinates from considering such

quantities exported. In Indian corn, wheat
and wheat -four, which constitute the main
articles Of breadstuffs exported, there was a
large increase In the quantities but large
falling OF IN values. Thus in 1884 we ex

bushel, while last year we exported 81, 36l,-
58S bushels, valued at $27, ,624, 123, which is
equal to 81 cents per pusheL
In wheat the exports for the year ending
with last month were so, 449 014 bushels,
yaiued at $u ,0sS, ass, while for the preced-
ing year they were 6S,4l, ,759 bushels,
valued at $72,90l, ,19L This shows that
