Investing Ben Franklin's Money.

In 1890 will end the term of 100
years during which the cities of Boston
and Philadelphia have enjoyed the
revenue from bequest of 5000
made by Benjamin Franklin. The
money was to be loaned out to young
married artificers, and the trust has
been executed, although the lapse of a
century requires new disposition of
the funds. 1t is significant that while
in Boston the $1,000 has grown to
nearly 1923, 900, in Philadelphia the
5000 has become only $4,000, and
that in both cases the amount is less
than Franklin estimated it should be.
But as the natural philosophers of
Franklin's day generally fell short of
the sage in ingenuity, so too the sue
cessive boards of trustees have been
far from equal to him in business
ability. 1t is interesting to note, how
ever, that the two funds still exist,
and that part of the Boston reserve
goes in the purchase Of public rec
reation ground to be known as
Franklin Park.-ElectricaI World.

rhe Days When Bachelors Were
Taxed.

A Spartan law forbade marriage I'M
til men and women arrived at peir
full strength, and there was an Athen-
ian regulation that men should not
marry until they were 35. The Athen-
ians at the same time favored married
men. giving them the preference when
vacancies occurred in official life. The
Romans did the same. They would
help a married man so far that if he
had not reached the age limit assigned
for position as many of the years
were dispensed with as he had child
rem. These favors did not altogether
succeed as a marriage bait. The young
men of the Empire had at one time, in
fact, to be forced as well as bribed
into marriage, the Censors going SO
far as to insist on all the bachelors
pledging themselves on oath to marry
within given time. Penalties were
in addition laid on celibacy, and these
and other disabilities on the single
men were not removed until the time
of Constantine. Taxes on bachelors
have been imposed by many nations,
including our own; but no more re-
markable law on the subject was ever
passed than that by the local author
tiles of Eastman, IN Massachusetts, in
1896. In that year these functionaries
passed law to the effect that every
unmarried man in the township should
kill six blackbirds or three crows
yearly while he remained single, and
that as a penalty for disobeying the
order he should not get married, and
no one should merry him until he had
destroyed the numbers Of birds he was
in arrear.

Breathing Under Water.

The length of time during which
person can live under water without
the aid of any diving apparatus is q
question in dispute among scientific
men. Some travellers have told mar.
vellous stories of the natives of Eastern
countries who were able to stay ten
or even fifteen minutes under water,
but there can be no doubt that these
are absurd exaggerations. 1t is well
known that the ordinary divers for
coral, sponge. and pearl oysters do
not remain under more than two
minutes, and the "men-fish" who ex.
hibit in the museums do not exceed
two minutes and half.
The doctors differ in their opinion
as to the time at which death comes
in drowning. Some say in three min.
utes, others in five, but none set a
longer time than this, except the
drowning persons faint, when respira-
ton ceases.
A Frenchman, named Lacassagne,
has been for some time studying this
subject, and the results of his expert.
ments and observations are given in
the Revue Sctentiqfue. The man upon
whom he experimental was a famous
Hungarian swimmer named James,
who among other exploits, once swan
from Calais to Dover. and had remained
under water for four minutes and
fourteen seconds.
Before diving, it was observed he
first expelled all the air from his lungs
and then took a long breath. After he
had been under water for a minute his
heart beats became slow, irregular,
and feeble. After two minutes and
thirty-seven seconds there was rush
of blood to the head and his eyes ap
peared sunken. Still he continued to
breathe amply and regular at the rate
of twenty respirations a minute, while
at the same time tine observer noticed
that the abdominal cavity diminished
greatly in size.
NJ. Lacassagne believes from this,
and from the fact that James was con.
tinually swallowing his saliva, that, in
drawing the long breath at first, he
SWALLOWED quantity of air, and that
the ordinary respiratory channels be.
ing closed, he takes into his lungs the
air contained in mis- stomach, and from
thence again taken, somewhat purified,
into his lungs. That is, in other
words, he makes of his stomach a
reservoir for air, fact which, if true,
will account for his ability to remain
for such an extraordinary time under
water. This process, which the diver
performs instinctively and mechanic
ally, NJ. Lacassagne believes can and
should be learned by all swimmers,
as giving them a far greater endur.
ance under the surface than they now
possess. = Youths Companion.

A police court at Vienna, Austria,
had a case of unusual atrocity to
deal with. A porter and waiter at
the Hotel Victoria had pushed a cat
into a pipe. The tube was so narrow
that the body of the poor beast nearly
filled it and the cat could not move.
In that position, the two men poured
boiling water into the pipe, slowly
boiling the poor creature to death.
The fearful cries of the tortured
animal at last attracted attention, and
the two scoundrels we're taken before
the magistrate.

Board Of Health.

The last quarterly meeting of the State
Board of Health was held at the secrc-
tary's office In the State House, December
26th, 1887, the members all being present
except Hon. Stephen j, Young, who is
still in Europe. A brief account was Civ
EN- by the secretary of the work which
had been done during the last quarter in
the chemical labratory. SiXty-four sam
Piles of water have been analysed from
various parts of the State; some of these
have been done at the request of physi-
clans; some upon application of local
boards of health, and the remainder for
private individuals.
Remarks were made by Dir. IIorr and
other members of the Board, upon the
value to the public of work of this kind,
and the need of careful study and super
vision of the public water supplies of the
State. 1t was accordingly voted to
authorize the secretary to make during
the coming year, as far as possible, sys-
tematic examination chemical and other
wise, of the principal water supplies.
Sanitary inspections have already been
made of schoo. houses in a considerable
number of towns, and the work will be
continued through next month. 1t will
not be attempted at present to make Il
general examination of school buildings,
but only in those larger towns which can
most easily be reached.
An exhibit was made of expenditures
during the first six months on account of
the publication of the Sanitary Inspector,
and hope appears justified that the jour
nal can be published at very slight or no
expense to the State.
1t was voted to issue n new edition of
several of the preventable diseases circu-
lars. and to issue, as soon as practicable,
circular calling attention particularly
to the contagiousness of dphtheria, one
given hints on household sanitation, and
one on preventative management of in =
fectious diseases generally.

Protection Does Not Enhance
Prices

Pro lection enables producers to sell at
lower prices with greater profit. This
comes under the well-known law that the
cost depends largely upon the quantity
of an article produced. If a man builds
single family carriage, turns out every
part himself-thc woodwork, the iron
work, the leather, going back to the pri-
mary sources of these component parts
of carriage, the mine, the forest and
the animal, whose skin furnishes the
leather-it would probably take the man
year to complete the work, and very
costly work it would be. But if there il
such demand for carriages that thou
sands of men are engaged in producing
them, each one at work on a special part
of the product in which he has acquired
the greatest skill, and the best and most
costly mechanical appliances are used, it
Is evident that the carriages thus produce
ed can be sold at prices far below the
cost of the single vehicle and yet all con-
cerned make a profit; whereas the single
carriage would only be sold at a great
loss.
Protection, by restricting competition
to our own people and keeping the mar
kets for the home producer, increase the
home demand and the quantity of every
thing required to supply 1t. Thereby it
increases production and gradually low
ers cost and selling prices.
The same is true of all things which
may be produced in large quantities, and
for which there is a large demand; and
for this reason 1t is especially important
to promote home manufactures of arti-
cles in general use, and especially of the
necessaries of life. The great quantity
of such articles wanted enables the pro-
Queer to make them cheap, and IN this
way alone can they be supplied as want
