Old Fashioned Political oratorv.

The political oratory of the United
States for the first half of the present
century, if We except the speeches of a
few well known statesmen, had in it lit
tie, If anything, to commend it to the
student. The addresses were, as a rule,
delivered to outdoor assemblies composed
OF men whose education had not been
such as to render them critical as to
either matter or n The orator had
full license not only in respect to state
ment of fact, but in every other particu-
lar, for the art of s~tenography had not
reached that perfection which enabled
the reporter to catch every word of the
speaker and fasten it forever on the
printed record of the time. To the IN
educated nearer a ludicrous but indeli-
cate aneGdote, a humorous but coarse ex-
preston, a torrent of SANDER, or a flight
of grandiloquent but meaningless rhap,
sody was frequently more satisfactory
than would " been the polished and
witty periods of Wendell Phillips, or the
argumentative discourses of Daniel Web
ster.
We occasionally find now, on the stage
of political action in the west, a fossil of
that old time. He has been delivering the
same address for half a century, with
such slight changes in it from year to
year as would reconcile it to the times.
His speech has never appeared in print,
because it contains nothing worthy ofpub-
hcation. Indeed, in cold type it would be
recognized at once as an absurdity, and
yet it still finds those who applaud its
successive repetitions, and insist that it
is the sublimest effort of the human mind.

LIZ. on the Planet Mars.

'1s it, however, evident that the in
habitants of Mars constructed this
strange geographical network of canalsf"
says Flammarion, and then he goes on:
This idea seems to us more plausible
than to attribute it to irrational nature,
for there the effects are generally irregu-
lar, above all in the geological realm.
ocean, depressions, continental reliefs,
basins, valleys, mountains, the course of
rivers, the CONFORMATION of the shores,
all assume to our sight irregular forms
and rectilinear shapes seem banished
from natures operations. This terres-
trial aspect leads us to believe that it is
h same 18th all the other worlds, and
we refuse to think that nature, even inor-
ganic, should act differently there than it
does on our earth. Nevertheless it is not
proved that the geological forces every
where act the same way. h condensa-
tions of the globe by cooling down
through centuries, the action of the vol
canic phenomena, etc, nave considerably
changed the exterior of the earth.
Some astronomers are inclined to take
these canals for streams, large and i'm
mense, like the Nile, the Danube, the
Mississippi, the st. Lawrence. But riv-
ers begin with rivulets, on the submits
of the water sheds; their origin is derived
from the rain showers descending the val
leys and gradually assuming lighter
shades, following their way till the mar
thine mouths. On Mars, these dark lines,
without exception, go from one ocean
to another, presenting the same width
throughout. But whatever the view
point from which to look at the fantastic
geological system, the explanation re-
mains to be found. The observations that
have been made during the past spring
enable us to penetrate a little further
into the intimate knowledge of this
neighboring world. Incontestable varia.
tions ave been observed, n these can
only be attributed to inundation Phil

1t has of late been discovered that flow
ing wells of water can readily be obtained
by boring from one hundred to two hun
dred feet in depth in all chat part of Utah
lying northerly about one hundred miles
and southerly about two hundred miles
from Salt Lake City, and in the San Pete
valley.
This part of tho territory is thickly
settled. Towns of from 500 to 5000
population are numerous, and farmers and
town residents are availing themselves of
this abundant and easily obtained supply
to the partial neglect of the old method Of
irrigating bitches. A good flowing well
will irr.gate five or six acres. saving the
expense of a yearly water tax and having
the water daily at command, to be turned
on or off as desired.
Nearly every residence in the beautiful
city of Provo has its own artesian well,
part of which is frequently utilized in a
fountain in the front yard, throwing a
copious jet thirty feet in the air, while
hydrants are stationed at intervals in the
garden, barn, and elsewhere about the
grounds. For farmers and others it could
also be used where light power for churn.
ing. saving wood, thrashing, etc, is
needed.
A stranger passing through Il village,
and not knowing the source of supply,
would attribute it to a system of water
works. The water is turned off and on
by faucets, and is easily controlled.-Sci

Binding the Cantor,

While Mr.. Anderson was l~eisurely tray
cling through South Africa, in a wagon
drawn by sixteen oxen, he heard from the
Bushmen many stories of their remarkable
escapes from lions. One Bushman, having
been seized by the arm by a lion, had the
presence of mind to use his free arm to
take up a handful of sane and throw it in
the lions eyes. The beast, roaring with
pain and blinded, let go the man, who ran
away before the lion could recover his
sight. Mr.. Anderson saw the man and
the MARKS of the lions teeth on his arm.
That lion was not as cool as a sergeant
in the United States army, who was sta
toned at n of the forts on the western
plains. A soldier, having deserted, was
captured by the sergeant in q mining
camp fifty miles from the fort.
While returning, they were passing G.
saloon and the prisoner begged the privi-
lege of going in and getting a drink"
The sergeant consented, and they went in
together and stood before the bar, on
which was a pepper box filed with cay
enne pepper.
The soldier took the box up, unscrewed
the perforated lid, threw a handful of red
pepper into the sergeant's eyes, and
started for the door. The blinded man,
though suffering intensely, retained his
self possession. He drew his revolver,
fired in the direction of the retreating
footsteps, and shot the deserter through
the heart.-Youth's Companion.

Perfect Rehearsals Not Wanted.

If there is anything a man having the
stage management of a theatrical com
pany does not like. it is a perfect re-
hearsal. A company can be overrehearsed
just as a fighter can be overturned. If
we have a perfect rehearsal we always
look for an imperfect performance, as the
tendency of the actor is to become care
less in the knowledge that he is perfect.
If the rehearsal is not perfect-if it lacks
in just a few points-the company be-
comes ambitious to bring the performance
up to perfection, bears everything in
mind, and generally brings out a perfect
production. Often when a company be-
comes perfect we change things around
and put the players in different positions,
simply for the purpose of making them
study and causing them to be careful in
their work. This is frequently necessary
to prevent slipshod work in public

Making Nitro-GIycerine Less Danserou4.

Z
The alarming number of accidents which
occurred from the use of Nobel's oil, as
well as the great value of the discovery in
mining, quarrying and e~xcavating oper-
atoms called the attention of scientists to
the matter and they went to work to find
some means of destroying the danger
without impairing the efficacy of the ON
pound. They soon discovered that if
nitro-glycerine be absorbed by any pull
verulent body it would afterward explode
only by percussion, and that the percus-
sion had to be comparatively powerful. 1t
was mixed with fine clay made into cart
ridges or nodded in forms, to be sold in
bulk. Some German chemists employed
sawdust as an absorbent and produced
what is now known as dynamite. Others
have used plaster of paris, chalk, mag
nesia, Fullerhs earth and other inert pow
ders, and have produced the various ex-
plosives known as rendrock, rackarock
and the like.
The latest discovery in this line was
very recently reported from London and
is that of a new compound called carbo-
dynamite. 1t is composed of ninety parts
of nitro-glycerine absorbed by ten parts of
a variety of carbon. One of the London
papers has published an account of a num-
Der of experiments made with this new
compound, which, it is asserted, showed
that it possesses several important advan-
tages over ordinary dynamite. Among
other advantages it is said to have CON
slderably greater power, and to generate
much less noxious vRpor by explosion

After Jan. l, 1889, all persons con-
vlcted of murder and condemned to death
in New York will be executed by %electri-
city instead of by hanging. No expert
ments have been made, and no means have
been devised to apply electricity SO that
1t shall be absolutely certain as an agent
of death. 1t is known to all electricians
that a force of eve 1000 volts, and an
alternating current at that, might produce
instant death in one case without suffer
ing, and intense agony, followed by death,
in another. The various devices thus far
suggested have come from newspapers
and magazines, and each and every one of
them are open to so-le objection.
DIR. j. Mount b. or. who was one of
the commission ii Limited to report on
'the best method of executing crimi-
nails" gave the matter a good deal of
study, and devised a method which he be-
heves is perfect, but which is really open
to the gravest objections. DIR. Bleyer's
plan is to place the condemned person in
a sort of n hut, his bare feet resting on a
metal floor which connects with one pole
of the battery. An electrode coming
through the roof of the hut and touching
the doomed persons head is connected
with the other pole, and so completes the
circuit. Should the condemned person
twist his head so as to break the contact
even the thousandth part of an inch the
circuit would be incomplete, and life
would be prolonged as long as he re-
manned in that position. II fear" said a
gentleman who is an accepted authority
on medical Jurisprudence, that unless
the state gets to work at once and devotes
a great deal of time to experimentation,
that the first execution by electricity will
be a most distressing bungle."-New
York Press.

Hippocrates, the god of silence, carries
as his symbol a rose given to him by
Cupid. From the idea of secrecy CT re-
serve that associates itself with roses
came the old custom recorded by the
Greeks. When the people of the north,
they say, wished to preserve the most
profound secrecy in regard to what was
said between themselves at their feasts,
n freshly gathered rose was hung from
the ceiling above the upper end Of the
blade. 1t was considered not only dis

One Of the minor critics Of earnestness
says in u late English magazine: Women
are much more bitten with this earnest
mood than men. Was there ever such an
age as ours for societies, guilds, fedora
tions? Many women spend their ives at
committee meetings"
And so the writer runs on. The truth
that seems to shine out of all these mists
of doubt and despair is that it is the little
earnestness, like the little learning, that
is a dangerous thing, That is to say, it
is the shallow ea-rnestness, if one may so
term it, the pretense, affectation or imita.
tion of it which bores society. Nothing
so disgusts me-" said a brilliant Boston
woman, tho other day, las humanity en-
pose" And saying this she touched a
universal truth that we all feel, oven if
we fail to formulate it SO wildly. The
persons who pose for earnestness-and
they are not few-are bores; but they
who have forgotten themselves in true
and earnest devotion to noble ideals in
humanity are our inspirers as well Gs
guides; they are the men and women who
not only interest society but who make
society. They are the poles around which
society centers.-Doston Traveller.

The air of mountains possesses a greater
amount of ozone than that of the seashore.
What particular effect ozone NAV have
upon the health of man has not vet been
clearly made out. In some directions it
seems to be absolutely injurious. There
is good evidence to show that it Is often
productive of bronchial affections and
especially Of influenza. During epidemics
of this disease an increased amount of
ozone has been found in the atmosphere.
On the other hand there is no doubt that
ozone is a great purifier of the atmosphere,
and it Is doubtless owing to the increased
amount of this agent in the air of noun
tain regions that its %salubrity is in n great
measure due. have subjected putrescent

and invariably tine bad smell was at once

as q destroyer of certain germs which are
capable of producing disease. This is
especially true as regards what we call
malaria, and which, as everybody knows,
produces in the human system some very
characteristic diseases. Several observers
have found that this a~ntagonism between
ozone and malarious emanations really
exists.-Dr. William A. Hammond in Chi
