TIE SEyAISoN BILL.

The state senate continues to be
flooded with petitions from all parts of
of the state protesting against the pas
sage of House Bill No. 20, entitled
IAN act to reduce the rate of interest
and prevent uSuriOus practices" the
protests being mainly directed against
the second section of the bill. The
arguments employed by the petitioners
against the passage of the bill are:
FirSt-Because such legislation as to
interest rates never reduces interest,
but always has tendency to make
money dearer.
Second-The large class of small Dor
rowers, both in the country and city,
who are now borrowing money from 8
to 10 per cent, will be unable, under the
proposed law, to renew their loans, and
will be forced into foreclosure and ruin.
Third-This state is very largely a
debtor to the East; and this foreign cap
ital, which has been generally loaned at
low rates, will inevitably be driven
from our state, as these foreign capital
loans are not invalid under this law,
from possible usury of which they can
have no knowledge.
And, finally, because the proposed
legislation will result in q money fam
inc in the state, which will tend to
bankrupt many and injure ali engaged
in business.
The arguments are not new. but they
are not weakened any by age. Substan-
I'LL Lno
used on former occasions when the leg
lature was disposed to tamper with the
interest laws. and with good effect. If
they were forcible arguments then, they
are all the more so now, because there
never has been time i'll the develop
ment of the state when money was more
in demand than at the present time, nor
when it was more needed. If Mime
sofa were the only place to which East
ern capitalists could send their money,
we would be i'll better condition to die
tate the terms upon which we would re-
ceive it. But as long as they can keep
their money at home and get good in
tereSt on it, they are not going to be
tempted by a slight advance in
rates to send it out here if they
have TO incur extra risks and
trouble. The SEvATsoN bill will not
disturb the large borrowers so much as
it will those who borrow in small sums.
The farmers and the country merchants
are the ones who will suffer by it.
Those who borrow money in large sums
on valuable city property can as well
afford to go East and negotiate their
loans as to do il through the medium of
local brokers. But it is that class OF
the bushes community who do bust
ness OH comparatively small capital,
and by far the most numerous class.
who will suffer if deprived of the serv-
ices of the local brokers. The assertion
is made that high commission of 10
per cent month is charged for leans.
But it should be remembered that this
is done only under ehattel mortgages OF
by pawnbrokers; and certainly q law
can be passed to prevent such extortion
without interfering with the legitimate
business of ioaning upon real estate Sc

THE COAL SUPPLY.

The scientific people have been figur-
ing, and find that the coal supply of
Great Britain has been greatly over
estimated, while the consumption Is in
creasing beyond anticipation. Some
years ago it was figured that there was
coal to last $50 years. The recent COM
putations are that the South Wales
fields will exhaust in forty-six years,
and the others few years later. In
seventy-five years or so there will be no
coal ia Great Britain. If this is verified
by the developments, the present i'm
preston is that it will be serious mat
ter for the British islands. Still, sew
enty-fve years later the people then
occupying that country will wonder
that their wise grandfatherS fOreShad-
owed trouble ON their account. They
will not be worried about fuel. Prob
ably they will have vastly cheaper
and pleaSanter method of producing
heat than by burning coal, and if they
adhere to the black diamonds there
will be an ample supply found some
where.

Los ANGELES, Cal, March 9.-Infor-

previous reports as to the extraordinary
richness of the gold fields. About 1000
people are encamped at Tiajuana, wait

CURIosITIns IN FIGURES.

Lately appearing in the GLOBE was
an article entitled ''CurioSitieS in Fig
ures." in which was given a SO-called
mathematical wonder" which was
simply the old results obtained by null
tiplying the digitS by IS. 81. 81 and 70.
We would give some additional light
upon these figures. First-Beginning
with one and counting up regularly we
find the sum of the first two figures to
be q times 10; of the first four, 10
a times 21s); of the first six, 81 (6 times
so; of the first eight, Sc Is times
Az, and so on indefinitely. The
sum of the first three figures we find is
g times q, of the first five Is Is times
81, of the first seven IS q times ~, of
the first nine 45 g times 81. of the first
eleven 66 I'll times 81, and so on indeti-
nitely. The scholar will do well to re-
member this.
The digit is the wonder figure.
Multiply it by any figure, large or
small. and the figures of the product will
''add up' one or more separate 9s.
Try it.
The digits arranged as a number,
thus. 123, 456,TS9 and multiplied by 9
equals 1. Hill, 101. Now it will readily
be seen that multiplying by is, 81, Sc,
As, "a, ETC., (all multiples OF 81, is simply
multiplying the number 1, Ill, Ill, 101 by
9, 3, 4. S. etc., the products being, Of
course, 2'S, 3's, 4s, SIS, etc.
Now reverse the order of the digits,
thus, 987, 1854, 321. This, multiplied by 9,
is S,SSS, SSS, Ss9, multiplied by Isis 1,777,-
777.77s, multiplied by 81 is 1856, 666, 667,
multiplied by sc is 35.555.555, $50, multi
piled by As is 44.444, Az AS, multiplied
by "a is, 1888. 353 333 1874 multiplied by 63
is 62,222, 222. 223, multiplied by ~ is IT,
Ill, LIP. multiplied by 81 is S0,OCO,-
0O0,001. This may also be carried ON
indefinitely, and it will be seen that the
first and last figure Tor fgures).t aken to-
gether is the multiplier. This article is
only hint to the many curious freaks
of the figures.

CANNIBAL AND MISSIONARIES.

A cannibal lived on q cannibal isle,
And was thinner than thin could be;
His legs were as lean as the tail of a rat,
His head ratified round in his number Eve hat
And he left no mark on the SAND where he

Oh, a woeful sight was hei
So he WAS
A dismal sight was he.
Now, there came to this island from over the
main
laudable missiOnaree.
His weight was three hundred and forty
three pound,
His paunch and his jowls and his tonsure
were round,
And he left a mark when he sat on the

So he did

CONGRESSMAN REID, of Maine, has
an article in the current number of one

of one or two men out of 325 and is able
to block legislation indefinitely, it may
