Monroe Singer, a 1O-year-old mu-
latto living in Texas, has one of the
most pronounced cases of big head
yet known. The dimensions of his
head are as follows: Circumference,
81 inches; from base of skull to top
of frontal bone, 333 inches. He is
forced to remain in a recumbent
position all the time, owing to his
inability to support the weight of
his head. Some dime museum will
probably put him on exhibition.

one OF the latest and most re-
markable inventions to be seen in
New York is the graphophone,
which is kind of simplifed photo
graph. The graphophone is becom-
ing very popular with the business
men of that city, and is employed to
to surprising extent in offices of
the largest mercantile houses, and
wherever there is a heavy Fpressure
ofthe correspondence. In operating
the graphophone, the person who
dictates sits down in front of the
machine, and talks into a small
funnel. The words spoken into this
funnel are recorded on small com
position cylinder, which may be put
away for years, and then adjusted to
the machine proper, when whatever
has been said into the funnel can be
listened to and heard as distinctly as
if spoken at the moment. Usually
the dictator speaks into The funnel,
which is then handed over to a type
writer who applies two small tubes
connected with the machine in each
ear, and has whatever there is there
talked off as slow as he or she desires.
One of the beauties of these talking
machines is that whatever has once
been recorded on the cylinder car
be repeated constantly until the i'm
preston made upon the sensitive
surface of the latter are worn away

THE MOTIONS OF THE EARTH.
From The World ard It's Wonders.

1HE MOlIONS VI IHE EAhIHs
From The World ard It's Wonders.
The world revolves on its axis in
% hours, SO minutes and 4 seconds.
This time is required for one rota-
ton from star round to the same
star again. The revolution is there
fore called a sideral day. While
the earth has been turning on her
axis she has been advancing in her
orbit, and it will take her 4 minutes
on the average to come to the same
position in regard to the sun; thus
adding 4 minutes to the length of
the sideral day, gives "a hours for
the solar day. The time of'.the
ANAL rotation has not varied the
hundredth part of second in 1900
years. 1t may, therefore, be consid-
cred as invariable, and is conse-
quently adopted as fundamental
unit in astronomical measurement.
The earth revolves in her orbit
around the sun in 365.26 days, Civ
ing another standard measure of
time, the length Of the year. The
velocity of the earth in her orbit is
almost incomprehensible, for the
huge sphere spins along at the ay-
erage rate of eighteen miles in a
second. The earth's orbital revolu-
ton and the inclination Of her axis
to the plane Of the ecliptic cause
the changes of the seasons and the
varying length of the day and night.
The earth has a more complicat-
ed motion known as the procession
of the equinoxes. 1t consists of a
wabbling motion of the pole of the
heavens around the pole of the
ecliptic in a small circle requiring
$4,000 years to complete. 1t is
caused by the attraction of the sun
and moon upon the earth at the
equator. Consequently ecliptic
and equator do not cross at the
same point, but the equinoctal falls
back each year fifty seconds of
degree. One effect of this move
ment is to change the polar star,
for whatever part of the heavens
the pole points, the nearest star to
that point is the polar star. The
present polar star will no longer
enjoy the distinction 5000 years
hence, and the brilliant Vega will
be to the polar star 10000 years
hence. The earth is moving through
space. The sun, carrying with him
the planets, satellites, comets and
meteoric bodies following in his
train, is fastening toward a point
in the constellation Hercules at a
rapid pace Of 10000 miles an hour.
1t might seem that, travelling at this
rate, the goal must soon be reached.
Such, however, is the inconceivable
distance Of the stars that more than
million years must pass before our
sun and his family, at the present
rate of travel, have spanned the
depth of space that intervene be-
tween the shining sun of Hercules.

The agricultural interests gener.
ally are in fairly good financial con-
.dition, better than for many years,
and another season of large crops
would bring an immense amount of
surplus money into the hands of the
most progressive farmers. Early
crops promise well, and whether
the yield of cotton should be large
or small, it would bring a large
revenue to the farmers. The worlds
consumption OF this staple is now so
great that an extremely large yield
would be absorbed at profitable fig
ures, while a short crop would force
prices to a point to yield big returns
to the planters.

On the subject of appointment to and
the retention in Office of persons, he
says
Honorable party service will GER
tainly not be esteemed by me a dis
qualification for public Office, but IL
will in no case be allowed To serve as a
shield Of official negligence, incompe-
tency and delinquency"
Efficiency in the civil service will be
the aim. We shall
mot however, | am sure, be able to
put our civil service upon "A non-partisan
basis until we have secured an incum-
bency that fair-minded men IF the OPP
position will approve for impartiality
and integrity"
The following paragraphs will give
an idea of the policy of the administra-
ton on the topics touched upon:
"The construction of sufficient num-
Der of modern war ships and of their
necessary armament should progress as
rapidly as is consistent with care and
perfection in plans and workmanship"
"Our pension laws should give more
adequate and discriminating relief To
the union soldiers and sailors and To
their widows and orphans. Such oc-
casions rs this should remind us that
we owe everything 10 their valor and
sacrifice"
at is subject of congratulation that
there is "A near prospect OF the ADMISSION
into the union of the Dakotas and Mon
tana and Washington Territories. This
act of justice has been unreasonably de-
layed in the case of some of them"
In summing up the message, the De-
troit Tribune well says: From first to
last the message will be read with in
tense interest and with profit. 1t will
strengthen him i'm the love and admira-
ton of the people and bring to his side
new friends and supporters. Good men
and true of all political parties will
applaud such noble sentiments as this:
LET us exalt patriotism and moderate
our party contentious. Let those who
would die for the flag on the field of
battle give better proof of their pat
riotism and n higher glory To their
country by promoting fraternity and
Justice"
That is President Harrison, scholar,
statesman, patriot. A man of the peo-
pie; an American citizen of the best
type and highest character. The climax
ends right there.
