cottages began to spring up on shores of Lake
Helen. Queen Ann cottages, designed by Mace

Virgins Theory Of q porna do.

Regarding the tornado in Ken
lucky, prof. Z. Stone Virgins
says it was caused by the peculiar
relation oftlle planets to the earth,
which rocked Tic North Atlantic
like the rocking Of u ship in u
storm. The Same effect was pro
duced upon the atmosphere.
lie says the sun and moon keep
Two currents always III motion,
but when other heavenly bodies
unite with the former the velocity
Of these currents is increased, and
when their speed is sufficient they
break in whirlpools, which We call
cyclones. When the sun is South
Of tho equator The Atlantic current
keeps of shore, and is very dan
gcrous to shipping. When however
the sun and moon happen to be
on the equator and moving North
ward this current is DETECTED upon
the continent and breaks into
cyclones.
The professor says he knew that
if the Northern and Southern
currents united over Nova Scotia
without previously breaking into
cyclones there would be u disas-
trous tidal wave along the coast
Of New England 10 Wiggins's
prediction Of thi great storm is said
to be due the fact that not single
Canadian vessel was lost, all being
in harbor.

woolon Statistics.

During the year 1883 t%ifty-scvcu wool
dealers and wooden manufacturers failed,
with liabilities amounting to So, G37, 900
and assets amounting 10 ST, 1916, 900.
This wa pretty good from IL high pro-
lection point of view, rs many Of the
failures were doubtless due to The fear of
Mr.. Clcvcland's reelection.
Unfortunately, during the year 1880,
scvcnty-two wool dealers and wooden
manufacturers failed, with liabilities
amounting to $t0,4l2, 900 and assets
amounting to$7, OBJ, 900.
Tho failures iii 1889 will, of course, be
ascribcd to tho mild winter. But Eng
land had also a mild winter, and the
prosperity Of her wooden and worstcd
mills has not been SO great in ten years.
Secretary Window also has increased
the tariff on w%orsteds, SO that no fault
can be found on that score. A plausible
suggestion for the improvement of the
WOODEN situation would be less protcc-
ton and more brains. The opposite plan
has had II fair trial now.

THE BRITISH GOLDEN CLUB.

Some Prominent Amoricaiis Who Holongcd
to 1t.
a favorito argument OF the high tariff
"spcll binders" during the last prcSidcn-
tial campaign was that Tho Cobden club
Of Lonson was expanding vast sums Of
money in ordor to win tho election for
PR. Cleveland, who was iii favor Of II re-
duction III the present outrageous turiiT.
Although tho accusation afterwartl
turned out to be Il beautiful example of
those who live i'll glass houses throwing
stones, yet many people in this country
have not u very clear idou OF what the
Golden club is and what arc its objects.
The Golden club was founded in London
in 1906, tho year after Richard Cobucn's
death. It's object was to perpctuate tho
memory Of the man whose nnmo il bore
by ~propagating his economic theories.
Its motto is, "Frec trade, peace and good
will among the nations"
Every year the club publishes some
work in furtherance of these principles.
1t also awards medals for tho best essays
on any subject connected with political
economy to tho students of various lead
ing colleges throughout the world, III
Guiding Yalc and Harvard in this coun-
try.
Once a year tho members who may
happen TO be in London ut the date
fixed dine together, and the expenses Of
this dinner arc paid out Of the club
funds. With the exception of The year
1881, the annual income Of the club has
never exceeded SIS, 900. III that year a
special fund of $500 was contributed to
dcfray the cost Of publishing II special
series Of works on Systems of Land
Tenure" The disturbed relations OF
landlord and tcnant in Ireland ut that
time called for that effort.
AS The membership Of The Cobdcn club
is almost entirely confined to The classes
dubbed BY high tariff orators in this
country "old fogics' and college the
orists," it is not likely that much money
would como from that quarter. The late
james a. Garfield, the late Charles
Sumner, the late Il. p. Whipplc and the
lato Rev. Henry Ward I5ccchcr were
members Of the Golden club. At pres
cnt its roll bears the names of George
Bancroft, Edward Atkinson and Hugh

John &. Carlisle on the American Farmer.
Tho American farmer, although lie
cultivatcs the most fertile soil in The
world, and ought to be tho most prosper
GUS member OF tho community, is con.
stantly engaged in IL hard struggle TO
secure II comfortable. support for his
family and a moderate education for his
children, and to pay his taxes and keep

majority of cases lie fails even to do
this, alld, sooner or later, is compelled to

pcnditnrcs to the lowest possible figure.
lie has II paternal government which
has determined That certain classes Of in
dustry ought to be maintained ut the

has been taxed for their support; and
