Meteor. and Volcanic oa,bur.t..

We have actually no possible way of
explaining the terrestrial origin Of any
meteors but in ,Holeanisss oatbursts
Moreover, we are obliged to set the
time when such outbursts took place
very far back in the past, seeing that at
present the volcanic forces of the earth,
even as manifested at Krakotoa re-
Gently, possess nothing like the power
necessary for the election Of matter
beyond the range of the earth's back
drawing power. Looking, however, at
the immense extrusive power of the
tertiary era, when basatic lava cover
ing hundreds of thousands of square
miles to depth Of 1000 to 1900 feet
were poured forth, we can conceive the
still mightier energies of volcanoes sec
ondary era, their still more tremendous
power in the primary era, and so, pass
ing backward to millions of years be-
yond the first beginnings of life on the
earth, we can even picture to ourselves
volcanoes ejecting matter with veloci-
ties of 10 to II miles per second. With
such velocities flights of elected parti-
cles would pass beyond the earth's
attraction, and If she were the only
body in the universe, such elected mat
ter would travel away from her never
to return. But, although such expelled
bodies would never return to the earth,
they would not escape from the solar
system. To drive them forever away
from her the earth would have to i'm
part much larger velocity-an average
of about 20 miles per second. The
greater number of the expelled bodies
would travel thenceforth in an orbit
round the sun, crossing the earth's
track at or near the place where they
were first sent forth from their parent
planet. One may almost say that this
origin of many meteorites and meteor
systems is forced upon us by the evi.
dence. Still it would be negatived il
we found that volcanoes do not eject
matter at all resembling meteoites ii
structure. The reverse, however, is tht
case. Ranging the products of volcanic
election in order according to tn,
amount of iron they contain, and rang
ing meteorites in like manner, we find tn
two series coinciding over the create
portion of the longer-the volcani
series. We might not indeed hav
known how closely the most ferrugin
GUS volcanic products resemble the irol
meteorites in structure but for the accl
dent that Nordenskjold discovered
mass which he mistook for an. iro
meteorite, but which is found now
be really a volcanic election, akin
structure to the field Of basaltic lava {,
Il Oyifak on the shores Of Greenland),
the midst Of which it had fallen viii
the lava was still plastic to retain tn
missile as it fell after Its fight throul
many miles of air.

How to Detect Connterfeits.


The United States Treasury Depart
ment has, of late years, adopted for
bonds and currency, a peculiar paper
described below, and. which is deemed
a stronger protection against the coun-
terfeiters than that used by the Bank
of England, which has recently been
dangerously counterfeited in $50, alOO
and $500 ~
AS the first issue of greenbacks,
which were not printed on fibre paper
were most dangerously counterfeited,
but have almost wholly disappeared
from circulation, therefore, receive
them with great caution, or refuse
them if in doubt about their genuine
ness.
All other genuine greenbacks, gold
and silver certificates and later issues
Of national b notes are printed on
the govemmey fibre paper; the first
kind with the fibre distributed in short
pieces, localized with a blue tint, de-
tected by picking it with a pin; the
other with the flbre in two parallel
threads, red and blue silk, running
lengthwise through the note, seen by
holding the note up to the light. The
public are cautionedSpot to draw these
threads out of the paper.
If in doubt about the genuineness of
any bank note III the report, refuse it
unless printed on government fibre
paper. All national bank notes not in
this report are genuine, whether printed
on government paperorsnot

Journalism Am over the world.


The Berlin Archiv far Post und
Telegraphie has published in Its last
report a conspc;tus Of the present
extent of journalism all over the globe.
The total number Of newspapers Is
estimated, in round numbers, at 35OOO
One newspaper is reckoned to be
printed for every $4,000 heads. Europe
naturally stands in the forefront of
journalistic productiveness. Germany
Is patriotically placed tirst-whether
accurately so is doubtful-with $500
newspapers, 800 of which appear daily.
England follows with 1000 newspapers,
$40 also appearing daily. France comes
next, with 1868 Partisan journals and
2,506 provincial Italy issues 1,4OO
newspapers 400 in Rome, 14O in Milan,
and 120 in Naples. Austria has 1900;
Spain, $50; Russia, 10000 of which
are published in st. Petersburg and rs
at Moscow. In Greece the-number OF
journals is enormous in proportion to
the population, on account of the lively
interest taken in politics, but the com.
piler cannot give approximately exact
statistics. Switzerland has 430; Belgium
and Holland, about 800 each. In Asia
there are some 5000 journals; 1000 Of
them are Japanese; China has fewer
but its great official paper, Shen Pao
appears three times severy day. Afghan
istan has not as yet any journal. Ameri
ca has still to make some progress!
before it will equal Europe in til,
number of its journals, as we only pub
fishes 1850 to their 10000. But in th,
category of daily newspapers it il
already ahead both of Germany ant
England, as 1900 are issued ever,
day. Negroes edit and print about ~
papers. When the journalism of tn
world is arranged according to Ian
guage, our own speech can boast o
being by far the most widely read, 70
no fewer than 1880 newspapers ar
printed in the English language. Their
are 1900 in German, 6,S50 In French
and 1000 in Spanish.

Why Men Smoke.

A number of literary men smoke,
simply to make an income. They have
learned that witha pipe in their mouths
thoughts not only come more readily,
but in better order, and that, while it is
often difficult to get the proper word If
they are not smoking, it runs to the
point of the pen the moment they
eight up" Psychologically this is the
most interesting, and the reason
womankind cannot grasp it probably is
that psychology is not, unfortunately,
taught in ladies' seminaries. Smoking
is a great safeguard against infectious
diseases. tits only by reading up the
subject scientifically in medical treat
ises that one thoroughly gets to under
stand the Thousand risks of this kind
that we run every day. In the country
during the summer months, when men
are on their holidays, they look forward
to having a temporary respite from
smoking. Then it does not so much
matter how the temperament is; living
so much in the open air, the smoking
of other persons has little effect on
them, and there is less danger Of in
fection. 1t is to keep off the flies that
men smoke mt the seaside and on the
hills. Their own weather.beaten coun-
tenances can stand the flies, but these
little demons would not only spoil the
summer for susceptible wives and sis
ters and children, but would disfigure
them as well. That is what q man
cannot endure. You may have seer

CUTTING AND HIS CAREER.
Nomadic History of the Texan Editor as
Related by His Brother In Michigan.

Nomadic History of the Texan Editor as
Related by His Brother In Michigan.
ouIn the town of Clinton, Michigan lives
Charles j. and II. d. Cutting, the only
brothers of editor Cutting, who is now
figuring as an international character.
They tell the following story of their
brothers life: ,FlD
August Cutting was born in the little
town of Hudson, N. Y. in 1882 After
few years in the public schools, at an
early age he went into the village news
paper office, the Star, to learn the trade of
aprinter. In those days printers edu-
cation in the art was not considered com
plcte until he had travelled from place to
place as "jour." In 1868, about the
time the family moved to Michigan, Cut
ting was employed on the Cleveland
Leader. Growing tired of the place he
drifted South. The war came on, com
munication between the North and South
was cut off and the family lost all trace
of his whereabouts Finally they heard
that he was at Nashville, where, he had
joined an independent home company
formed to protect the city. When Nash
vile was taken by the Federal forces,
Cutting returned North. From this cpl
sode in his career has arisen various
stories that he was in the Confederate
service and deserted it, that he belonged
to Union Missouri regiment, and de-
serted to the enemy, etc.
After his return North, Cutting worked
in Cincinnati at his trade, thence coming
( to Detroit, where he stayeda short time.
He afterwards went 10 Toledo, where he
married. The marriage proved an un.
happy one, and the couple separated, O
divorce being subsequently obtained. In
1865 Cutting turned his steps to the grow.
| ing West as a fitting field for his energy
He was located at Kansas City for few
years, and in partnership with mar
named Williams published the daily
Times Cutting married again at Kansas
City, and his wife has lived with hin
since, being now in FL Paso, thus dispos
ing of the story of his bigamous relations
with four women. After disastrous fir,
In Kansas City, in which Cutting lost al
his personal property, he went to Colora
do and started paper at Trinidad. Afte
some of the vicissitudes peculiar to journ
alism in Western frontier town, Cut
ting left Trinidad and set up his cditoHa
tripod at Las Vegas, New Mexico. Here
about three years ago, the brothers ono
more lost sight of him, and received NJ
intelligence of him until the news of hi
arrest and incarceration on Mexican soil
From boyhood A. X. Cutting has dis
played marked characteristics that stam
him as man of more than ordinar
mould. All that has been told Of Cuttin
by those who know him bear out the I'm
preston that he is just such perso
most likely to get into the entanglemer
he now finds himself, W9f MI.
