Deeply Int rested.

For some days pas! Major John
Dennis Meter and Refncr at the
Mint has been very neglected. OF
his duties.
He has spent his entire time
pouring over book, and at times
he has been SO infatuated with his
reading that several pots of silver
have boiled over and gone all over
the floor.
The expostulatlons of the Super
intendant are of no avail. The
Major says he has gotten held of
a book that contains more wonder
ful things than he ever heard Of,
and written in such quaint diver
siied style that he was utterly un-
able to lay it down.
The book although new to Dem
mis- has been quite popular hare for
years.
1t was Bible presented to him
by his pastor Rev. Davis. Every
day Dennis rushes into some of the
other rooms and rehearses what
he has read with great gusto. He
told the story OF Jonah and the
whale the other evening to Joe
Ryan and Major Garrard who pre-
tended they had never heard it
and listened with open-mouthed
wonder.
When they disputed the story
Dennis wanted to bet money he
could prove it.

The Insurance Trust.

The California papers are opening
up the iniquities OF the California
Insurance trust. It is shown that
they pay out about 81 per cent. for
losses and pocket the balance. This
sort of business is sheer robbery
and the insurance rates in Nevada
are even higher.
Two years ago the Legislature
attempted to regulate the matter
but the insurance men combined
and downed the bill.
The Legislature this session ought
to take in hand the regulation of
this long-standing insurance rob-
berry. Nevada has paid tribute long
enough to California insurance COM
panies and it is time to call halt.

a Brave Southern Governor.

In pardoning two negroes convicted
of murder for participation in the
lynching OF a white man, Governor
Richardson, of South Carolina, has
shown himself to be brave and just
Executive. Many negroes have been
lynched in that State for crimes
against white women, but no white
man, before this instance, has been
subjected to the same fate for a SIM
liar crime against colored women. And
no white man has been hanged for
holping to lynch negroes, though the
cases have been numerous. Governor
Richardson does not think it just to
hang the first negroes ever convicted
of initiating the example of white
mobs. This is right Nothing is more
fundamentally democratic than equal
justice for equal citizens There
should not be one rule of morals or one
law for white rufians and another
rule and another code for blacks. liz
emphasizing this truth Governor
Richardson has done his State and the
South generally notable service
Equal and exact justice for all classes
and conditions of men is the essence Of
good government 7. World

funny. Fortunately, the Republican
Administration is not indebted 20 Mr..

do its duty under the law not only by
removing him but by securing his in

ice Law, and Its Results.
The Indictment of Herbert F.
Beecher, the son of Henry Ward
Beecher, in company with William
Harmed and Quincy A. Brooks. for
corrupt practices and official dishon-
esty in their positions at Port Town
send, W. T., will not surprise the pub
lie. 1t is only surprising that the in
dictments have not come sooner, as it
was generally known that young
Beecher and his associates were plum
dering the Government right and left.
They would have come sooner had
not Mr.. Cleveland been a moral cow
ard
The story is a disgraceful one from
first to last Mr.. Cleveland ap-
pointed young Beecher to the Office
of Collector at Port Townsend IN
recognition of his mugwump father s
support of him upon the stump and
his particular Endorsement of him
in a specially delicate situation when
his moral reputation was at stake.
The young mans character was known

every member of the Senate commit

with his tenure of the Office, and ap-
parently there were no precautions
taken to save the Government funds

for the Treasury Department was reg

still they were allowed to continue.

THE DARK DEEP SEA,
The Depth TO Which Daylight Will Pen
citrate Water.

The Depth TO Which Daylight Will PEN
citrate Water.
1t has long been known that the day.
light can not penetrate for any great
distance into the depths of the sea or
our deeper lakes. There has been,
however, much discrepancy in the re-
suits of experiments. A Swiss investi-
gator, NJ. Asper, has recently combined
his researches with those of Prof. F.
A. Forrell. and come to some interest
ing conclusions concerning the pene-
tration of daylight into the waters of
the Swiss lakes. The method of the
experiments is interesting. BY means
OF somewhat complicated apparatus,
a rapid gelatine-bromide plate was,
with proper protection, lowered to the
depth desired, exposed for ten minutes
and then withdrawn for development.
The results of several trials appear to
establish the general conclusion that in
the Lake Geneva in the month of Sep
TENDER the amount of daylight at the
depth of ITO meters below the surface
is about the. same as the light perceived
of clear night when there is no moon.
Similar experiments carried on in the
Mediterranean appear to show that in
the middle of bright sunlit day per-
feet darkness is attained at the depth
of 400 meters.
Thus at less thRn 300 feet we prob
ably pass below' the level where SUM-
light has any Sensible influence on the
life which the waters contain. As
most of the sea foor-probably more
than nineteen-twentieths of its area
has greater depth than 1900 feet, we
may assume that in general the life of
the sea bottom has to live in utter
darkness, a gloom practically as deep
as that of a cavern. AS over half the
earth'S surface is covered by water to
a greater depth than 1900 feet, it fol-
lows that more than half of the earth
receives no direct effect from sunlight.
The experiments on Lake Geneva APP
pear to show seasonal variation in
the transparency of the waters, there
being a difference of twenty or thirty
meters in the penetration of light, the
suns rays attaining the greatest depth
in March and the least in August. The
difference in the penetration of light
into the waters of the Mediterranean
and those of Lake Geneva appears to
indicate that the latter basin contains
in its waters, despite the apparent
clearness of the fluid, certain small
of organic or inorganic matter.

THE SMOKING HABIT.
How Manners and Customs Change From
Time to Time.

How Manners and Customs Change From
Time to Time.
Nothing changes more than the out
side laws and formulas of politeness.
Within the memory of any sexagen-
arian the whole code has been altered.
Where, fifty years ago, ito take wine
with you and bow across the table was
as much an expected attention, an
obligatory act of courtesy, as to salute
you on entering the room, the man
who should do this, save at supremely
intimate and half-jocular gathering,
would be as much ''out of it, as if he
were to lay his hand on his heart, bow
as low as his knees and assure
madam" his fair friend. that he was
hers from his eyebrows to his finger
tips. Fifty years ago no gentleman
could have smoked in the presence of
ladies. The unmarried girl or young
wife of certain social status met
walking with a man putting a cigar
would have gone home with a few
shreds less of character than she had
set out with. But who has word to
say now? Now We have the cigars and
cigarettes brought in with the coffee
Immediately after dinner, and no one
is offended. The men are not con-
sidered too free, the women do not hold
themselves cavalierly treated when the
dainty little appliances for lighting,
ash and cutting go the round of the
table, and the fragrant "hatons" are
lovingly handled and regarded. Often.
indeed. one of these ladies will herself
join the men, and if few prim old
souls think the exhibition shocking the
younger accept it as matter of taste.
and either decline or determine to try,
according to their individual liking,
with no moral afterthought whatever.
On this special question of smoking
in the presence of ladies we offer no
opinion. Those who like it and those
who dislike it must settle the matter
between them. 1t is one of those nova
BILE and temporary items which depend
wholly on acceptance. In Spain, the
East, South America. ladies smoke with
and like the men. There are reasons
for and reasons against the practice,
but as we said, these must be discount
ed, each woman for herself, and those
who will may and those who do not
wish are not obliged, but the one does
not lose the finer part of her character
and the other is not guilty of unjust
prudery unless she confounds the prac-
tice with the person. and because she
dislikes the former condemns the latter.
