IT is not at all certain that the
expulsion of the Jews from Russia
will be followed by their emigra-
tion to the United States. Many
of them are already finding their
way to Brazil, and outside the
limits of this country there are
plentiful opportunities for the
settlement of new territory that
can be improved by thrifty and en-
ergetic people. The course of the
Gar is cruel and indefensible, and
in the end it will be found that he
has wrought more injury to him
self than to those whom he has ex-
PEELED from his dominions.

Work of the Human Heart,

The mathematical fend has
recently been at work upon a
calculation Of the work performed
by the human heart. His calcutta
tions are curious, and give the
work of the heart in miles and
beats. 1t is based upon the pre-
sumption that the heart beats SO
times each minute, and throws
blood nine feet. Computed thus,
the mileage of the blood through
the body might be taken as 2O7
yards per minute, seven miles per
hour, 1853 miles per day, 1890
miles per year, or 1892, 400 miles q
lifetime Of seventy years.

According to all accounts, the
recent efforts of Kansas City's
young business men, in mass meet
ing assembled, to scrape the moss
off the backs of some of the rich
old fogies, and galvanize them with
a semblance of interest in the
city's growth, have been produc-
tive Of some good results. The
resolutions offered and the speeches
made were calculated to make some
of the holders of the "unearned
Increment" heartily ashamed of
themselves. Some of them have
already offered their services in
helping out the younger genera
ton of business men In the way of
establishing manufacturing plants
of which the city stands in great
need, and others, seeing the sorry
figures they cut by waiting until
other mems labors had improved
their own holdings, are coming
forward in aid of the city. A little
work of that kind might not do any
harm in the city of St. Louis.
