The hesitancy Of our government
about constructing a ship canal at Nj
agara is becoming criminal and highly
injurious to the farming interests of
the Northwest, which should unite in
a unanimous demand to congress for
a large appropriation for that purpose.
Such canal should not be less than
twenty-five feet in depth and should
be supplemented by deep water canals
either down the st. Lawrence or from
Oswego to the Hudson. Millions of
dollars would be wisely expended in
such work. And that work should
be urged upon the coming waterways
convention with AL possible force. The
Northwest can afford to be active in
this matter and thus supplement the
eXertions made by the Manitoba road.

Isis Own Fault.

One of the most horrible deaths that
has occurred at the Minnesota mine
was the crushing Of Matt Polka, a
Flnlander aged 26. Last Thursday
noon when the whistles blew for din
ner he went and seated himself in
shaft house No. s directly beneath a
large weight, weighing ten tons, which
draws the empty ore dumps back from
the pocket. At the time he sat down
ear was dumping, Immediately after
which 1t starts on its return and the
large ballast overhead slowly descends.
1t makes So little noise in its descent
that Polka had no warning until it
touched him on the head and slowly
crushed him down. Had he sufficient
presence OF mind, he could have Jump
ed from IN under, bat evidently he
became dumbf0unded and did not re-
ailze IN What q horrible position he
was. HIS body was crushed to ielly.
The deceased had no family of his
own but had relatives in the city, one

John keely Power.

Nine. Blavatsky makes a startling
statement in the second volume of her
theosophical book, the Secret Doctrine"
upon which she is now working. John
keely, she says, is in possession of the
wonderful occult force which the adepts
have, and his motor ia that and nothing
more. The force is in Keely and insep-
arabic from him 1t will die with him.
If Keely was allowed to use this awful
power, as the adopts use it, he could
blow Philadelphia to pieces by lifting
his hand, bat the guardians of the force
watch him closely and see that he
does not use it for harm Wayne Mac
Veagh, who is Keely's counsel in his
suits with the motor stockholders, was
sent advance sheets of this part of Nine.

Catfish Are Good 3Tothers,

DR.. Abbott, of Trenton, is warm ad-
mirer Of the catfish, not so much on &C
count of its culinary excellence as be-
cause the females OF the tribe are good
mothers. He has studied the habits Of
the fish long and carefully. and he
knows this to be fact. He saws that on
one occasion he captured an entire brood
of little catfish in q hand net, letting
their mother, who was swimming with
them, escape. She would not leave the
spot where she had been bereaved, and
when the doctor put the fry into glass
jar and placed it in tho river where she
could sec it, she dashed herself furiously
against the obstacle that separated her
from her young ones. When the jar was
drawn slowly from the water she fol-
lowed it to the surface, and then ALSO
luttly left the river and wriggled twelve
inches up the sloping beach in her frantic
efforts to recover Ler progeny.-New

Remember You Have Said ct.

The proprietors Of Old Superior
are at work on the details of the Or
ganiZation of their consolidated COM
pany, and intend to base their hopes
OF building up the old head of the lake
town upon broad and liberal policy.
They do not propose to enter into a
campaign against Duluth or West
Superior, but to equip themselves to
secure their share Of the great influx
of population and business they see
setting toward the head of the lake
This city will benefit by the great en-
terpriSe being organized oyer the bay
just in proportion to the disposition we
manifest toward it. The time has ar
rived when each of the live communit-
les at the head Of the lake should take
to itself what falls naturally to it, and
thank fortune that the others get a
liberal share. Everything that comes
to this region helps every part of it.
We are one big, though, as yet, some
what rambling, town. The only I'M
fortunate thing in connection with our
growth and unity is that Douglas
county is not part of the state of
Minnes0ta.-Duluth Herald.

4 Stranrn EirlI.

A bird differing considerably from
anything of the kind ever seen around
here was on exhibition on the streets
Wednesday. 1t was about the size and
shape of q goose, web footed and legs
considerably longer, which enabled it to
stand straight up Its body feathers
were speckled muci like aguinea's. only
they were much more glossy and beauti-
full. Its bill was long and sharp, like a
cranes, and it had vicious look out of
it's little red eyes. A beautiful ring Of
black and white polka dot feathers made
charming color for its graceful neck,
and a nice set off for its glossy, blue
black head. This rara avis was caught
by Green Patterson, who was working
on Dir. j. T. Perdue's place. lie says it
showed fight both towards him and the
mule he was blowing until he knocked il
down with a stick. The strange bird
attracted no little attention and numbers
of names were suggested for it, but no
oneseemed to know exactly what it was

Whale with Green Peas.

There are obvious difficulties in the
way Of selling a whale over the counter
in fshmonger's shop. Nevertheless,
we may yet see bits of whales being thus
purchased and carried away. There was
a time in merrie England when whale
with green peas was considered q deli
c2cy. History, it is said, repeats itself,
and some Of us who now strut the stage
of life may, ere wo die, indulge in the
same feast
In Barbados, when obtainable, the
flesh Of the humpbacked whale (biegap-
terra Americana) is eaten by all classes,
being preferred to beef, which is there
tough. \ South Sea harpooner will tell
you that. excepting the delicacy of
draught of the yellow, creamy milk
taken from a freshly speared she whale,
whale fins properly cooked are the great
est of conceivable dainties.
A single cetacean, it is estimated, will
supply 500 pounds Of extract, and a
pound Of extract makes 100 pints of
nourishing soup. Thus it can easily be
seen that one whale is capable Of satisfy
ing the hunger of 80, 900 persons, if they
were content to have a meal Of whale
soup alone. An average whale convert
ed into extract would suffice for the daily
dinner of a man all through his life, even
If he lived to the age of 40. AS he would
not be likely to accomplish that feat,
there would be plenty Of whale over for
breakfast and supper, when-as he might
be expected to tire of soup-the cetaoean
might appear on his table in the form of
outlets, or mince, or even risoles.-Med-
ical Classics.

What We Enoyy of Color.


All that we know Of color, its causes
and effects, is in connection with the
wave theory of light. Color depends
upon the number Of light waves reflected
from any object inpinging upon the
retiua Of the eye. In-red there are ayout
10000 waves to the inch, and these will
strike the eye at the rate Of All millions
of millions of puls2tions per second In
violet there are 81 900 waves to tile inch
and CSC millions of millions of pulsations
per second The other colors have wave
light intermediate between these two.
Color does not, therefore, exist either in
the object or in the brain or the mind of
the observer. 1t is an effect. There can
be no appearance Of q fire on a desert
island where there is no eye within see
Ing distance. The chemical process call
ed combustion goes on, but there is no
appearance of the fame save when its
waves strike upon the retina of an eye
photographer.
