The first reports concerning the exclusion
of DR.. Koch's lymph from France looked as
though the act were due to an unreasonable
hate of anything German. 1t turns out, how
ever, to have been done under law which has a
good deal of foundation excluding medicines
the composition of which is unknown. There
is also hint that by this action it proposed to
force the disclosure of the Koch formula This
is counting too much on governmental power.
II Koch's discovery is further yinniczted by
actual experiment. no government can afford
to shut out of land where people are waiting
to be cured.

BEGINNING of q New Era.

THAT was bad for two great powers OF the
day, one social. the other religious; bad for
feudalism. bad for ecclesiasticism. Men were
brought together from many different coun-
tries, and the old feudal barriers began to be
toppled over. A standard was set up in which
wealth and position counted for nothing, and
the King was the 'kenning." the man who kens,
or knows. And men began to think. And
when men got to thinking they couldn't Keep
within the narrow ways which were set
down on the ecclesiastical maps and charts
They branched out and adventured after new
truth.
Everywhere in Paris you see three words writ

we do not notice so much display of the words,
but we think we have seen more of the blessed
realities which the words stand for. 1t is well
that we should remember that this great mod

old friend. A year doesn't seem long

forward it's different. And the friendship you
formed with it makes the acqua1ntanceshlp

ment. OF course there are various ways for

Glass movements in America, the banding
together of mechanics, manufacturers, or land
cultivators, do not generally survive more than
one victory or one defeat. That of 1890 may
have more of peril to the Democrats, whom 1t

whom apparently it is most antagonistic. be-

Light, Heat and Electricity.

To understand meteorology or the weather,
we must understand the physical forces. If
there were any light outside of atmospheres
that surround the stars and planets we could
not see them, because space would be as bright
as they are. 1t is because they are surrounded
by darkness that we are able to see the stars.
The light of the sun does not reach US. bsnt,
heat and electricity are interchangeable, and
the light of the sun changes TO electricity on
leaving the elements that surround the sun:
Illustration: PANT an iron rail jet black, and
the rays of the sun will change to electricity
and heat in the rail sufficient to turn llgnt
electric motor. Paint the iron rail white, and
it will not produce electricity, and the neat
will he much less. Place two cotton kerch1efs.
one black. the other white. on snow. The
black will heat and melt into the snow, the
white will not. White reflects light, black
does not, and the light therefore changes 70
electricity and heat. This electricity may be
changed back into light by running 1t through
an Edison electric lamp. So it is with sunlight
1t changes its form to suit the conditions
After sunlight changes to electricity ana
reaches our earth, it is obstructed on entering
our atmosphere, and the rays heat as they de-
scend into q more dense atmosphere.
The Northern light IS caused by electricity,
occurs when the planets are in position to cause
greatest electric activity and is evidence that
our earth is growing into the condition Oh a
sun. Astronomers say that Jupiter and Saturn,
to some extent shine of their own light The
electricity from the dark side of our earth
causes the moon to give a faint light when
passing through the shadow OF the earth.
Saturn has eight moons revolving around IL as
our eight planets revolve around our sun.
Sometime our earth will catch another comet
and then we will have two moons. My theory is
that all these bodies began existence through
the influence of electricity in building by bring
ing together atoms. Electricity is the motive
power of the universe, the builder of every.
thing, the puZzling principle o1
| of life Light cannot exist except in connec'
tion with the recognized sorms of matter
After the electricity from the sun has changed
to light and heat IN our atmosphere the light i:
! obstructed on reaching the solid earth anc
| there it changes back to heat and electricity
| All bodies being condensationS OF electricity
| that condensing is the origin OF motion The
ether of space condenses into electricity anC
electricity into gases, the latter to liquids and
| liquids to solids. This keeps up the motor
| from space toward solid bodies and will &C
count for all motion. All this motion would be
| steady gradual, were it not for the electric in
| huence of the sun and plants on each other

Now the report is abroad to the effect
that Mr.. Porter will publish an amended total

city l25,OOO more population than his previous
announcement on the plea of error in the foot

might be able to stand the effects of proof that
the count of New York was insufficient by lay

but he could hardly afford to place himself in
