When and How to Battle.


There is a class of persons for whom
sea air and bathing is more hurtful tn IN
helpful. Yet people who are regularly
Ill, year after year. while undergoing
the penance on the sea coast, never
think Of asking medical advice. There
is no manner of doubt that some re-
coiye harm, while others receive much
less good than they otherwise would do
If they were to adopt moderation in the
use OF n good thing. Some people rush
off Immediately they reach their desti-
nation and battle under a hot and broil-
ing sun, and 20 economic their short
holiday take three or four baths daily.
isitors to the seaside should wait
two or three days to accustom them
selves to the change Of air before vent
uring into the water, and they should
contne themselves TO bathing on fine
and dry mornings, between . and ~
O'Clock, or perhaps between . or q
o'clock in the evening; but of course the
state Of the tide should to some extent
influence their movements. During the
middle OF the day, when the sun is
shining iiercely, the sea is more likely
to hurt than to benefit them, and may
even do serious or fatal injury. The
chief thing TO guard against, however,
Is the imprudent assumption that
bathing is good for everybody; but this
Is not so, as many find to their cost.

Several persons were making expert
ments at Pembrey, Carmarthenshire,
with dynamite, in n tarn among the
hills. A charge of dynamite, with a
five-minutes' fuse attached to it, was
thrown in the water-the power Of the
explosive TO be Judged by the volume of
water forced up by the explosion.
A sportsman, accompanied by his
dog, appeared at the moment, and as
the charge was thrown into the lake the
animal sprang into the water and seized
the cartridge, which it quickly brought
ashore The sportsman shouted to the
dog to drop it, but the animal ran in
the direction of its master, and the ex-
perimentalists Immediately made off,
the dog being kept at a distance by its
master and others by a continuous
shower of stones. At the end Of five
minutes the charge exploded and tho
poor animal was blown to pieces. its
master and the other narrowly escaping
with their lives.

DIR. Charles Piokney, a man Of fine
learning and observation, opens up d
%stupendous suggestion. lie asked the
other day, Have YOU thought much
of the physical effect of the Panama
canal.'
Not much"
well, let me throw out a suggestion.
The Pacific ocean is five times as large
as the Atlantic. The rotary motion OF
the earth, acting on water near the
equatorial line, of course, has a ton
dency TO pile it up. The bulk of the
Pacific being so much larger than the
Atlantic, is lifted t~wenty-eight feet
higher than the Atlantic. For the same
reason, that Of its bulk, it is about 20
degrees colder. Now imagine the effect
Of this enormous body Of water, twenty
eight feet higher in level and 20 degrees
lower in temperature, being poured
into the Atlantic through the canal"
Why doesn't it seek its level below
the oape!i
Because that point Of meeting is so
far from the equatorial line that the
centrifugal force is not so great, and
the levels of the tN, oceans are the
same. Up about the Panama, the diff
ference in levels is great, and the i'm
mense volume Of the Pacific will rush
down into the Atlantic with terrific
force
And with what eiTectl'
That is almost beyond speculation.
But suppose this mingling of the two
oceans simply changed the current Of
the gulf stream. That one change
would wipe out the cotton and rice in
dustry, making Georgia many degrees
colder. These are s~peculations but the
cold facts are as stated, and it is in
teresting to think OF what will be the
effect when this canal is cut, and the
high immensely of the Pacific is dropped
to the level Of the Atlantic"

In China, the streets along which n
funeral is to pass are previously
sprinkled with holy water, and even the
houses and warehouses along the street
come in for their share, in case some
artful demon might be lurking in ashop,
ready to pounce II on the dead man as
he passed. Special precautions are also
taken by the Chinese during the actual
passage of the funeral; in addition to
the usual banging of gongs and popping
Of crackers, an attempt is mad to work
on the cupidity of the demons.
With this view bank notes are scat
tered, regardless of expense, all along
the road to the grave. The notes are
bad, but they serve the purpose, and
while the ingenious demons are engaged
in the pursuit Of these deceitful riches,
the soul OF the dead man, prohting by
their distraction, pursues his way tran
gully behind the coffin to the grave.

AnotIker Complication.

On Tuesday evening, Judge McCluer of
the district court issued an order to show
cause returnable on May 1, and an order to
permit the surveyor general to enter upon
and make scale of logs in the suit OF A. c..
Hospes against David Tozer and Others
This suit has arisen out of the contest going
OH between Surveyor General HoSpeS and
the Lumbermen's board of exchange, who
have engaged Judson McKusick, deputy for
the surveyor general of the Fourth district
of Wisconsin, to scale their Wisconsin logs.
On Tuesday Scaler Avery went to scale a
brazil of logs belonging to David Tozer, but
as Tozer has had the logs scaled by Nc
Kusick, he would not permit the rescaling
OF them. About y. IN. the steamer Meta
Durant started with the logs in dispute
along with other logs, when Mr.. Hospes
asked for an injunction to have the logs
scaled. The order was placed in the hands
of Deputy Sheriff Adam Martz, who en-
gagged the steamer Bun Hersey, and took
with him Scaler Avery and his tally man.
They overlook the Meta Durant and her
tow about two miles below Alton. The
captain obeyed the order of the court, had
his raft moOred, and yesterday morning as
soon as light, Avery sealed the brazil of logs
and the boat proceeded on her way. These
are the plain facts, and there was no eX-
element whatever about the affair, neither
was a steamer tried to be engaged to cap
ture the party, nor yet had Adam Martz a
posse of men with him. The matter is in
the hands of the law, and no doubt Justice
will be done to all parties.

An Alleged Striker for Merriam Ar.
raigned on a Serious Charge.
When the curtain was rung UP ON the po-
lice court yesterday the crowd craned their
heads to obtain birds-eye view of the sim
ners, the docket being mostly made up of
timber DRINKS and free-lunch route workers.
Thomas White had been out all night,
which it was plain to be seen was not quite
right, and when the court gaZed at his
swollen head the prisoner sighed and wished
he were dead, for to pay his small fine he
had nary red He thereupon proceeded
to make nice talk, and really succeeded in
producing the chalk; for after narrating his
misery and woe, the kind-hearted judge let
the poor sinner go.
After the ice water had been poured on
the burning brow of the bull pen bard, the
court called the case of Jack Hanley, who
was charged with the heinous crime of at
tempted felonious assault on bright girl of
sixteen named Annie Johnson. The girls
story is as follows: She is employed at the
st. Nicholas hotel, and Tuesday night she
down Seventh street she was accosted by
Hanley, who insisted on walking with
her, and after buying her some
oranges, he invited her to take supper with
him. She refused, whereupon he violently
grasped her person and pulled her up stairs
into his room in hotel on Third street. On
entering the room he locked the door and
made several attempts to accomplish his
purpose, in all of which he was firmly re-
sisted, and after remaining in the room a
couple of hours the frightened creature was
permitted to go. Hanley denies the charge
and the case was continued to May 2, the
bail being fixed at 1,5OO. The man Han
ley is said to be Merriam striker and he
was boasting last Tuesday of having re-
ceived $50 from the Republican campaign
fund.
Carl Weber was charged with brutally
beating a boy named Charles Lafgreen. The
lad was passing his store when Weber ac-
cused him of stealing fishing line, and
pulling him into his store, he beat him. He
was fined $50.
The case of E. c. Warner of Reserve
township, charged with selling liquor with
ont q license was confirmed tO Nav .
