Work and at the same time would vi thin the

1t was perfectly apparent to everyone that it
was an imposition to be charged 800 for type

Comparasive Perfection Of the Art Of
Navigation.
From the Buffalo Globe.l
The art of navigating ships across seas and
oceans from the port Of one country to that
Of another is one of which the world in gem
eral outside the nautical and hydrographical
professions knows little or nothing, and yet
to the progress and comparative perfection
which have been achieved in in it are largely
due the extent. and success of the vast
commerce between the nations Of the earth,
which make the oceans great international
highways over which are carried the products
of all climes to all other chimes.
The older maritime nations that propelled
their vessels with oars and had only the sun
by day and stars by night to guide them,
rarely steered their galleys far from land,
but hugged the shore. The Introduction Of
the mariners compass to European nations,
about 900 years ago-though the Chinese
claim to have used it hundreds of years
earlier-and the substitution OF sails for oars,
made 1t practicable to strike out boldly into
the ocean and steer fixed course, subject,
to be sure, to the alterations from the exist
ence of ocean currents and the occurrence of
head winds. II was the mariners compass
that enabled Columbus to steer westward
from Spain and discover the American con-
tinent.
For some time after the introduction Of

curacies Of the plane chart. which was the
only one then known, and not much was
done until the publication of Mercator's
chart, which greatly altered former theories
on the subject Of navigating the ocean. The

A curious legal question has arisen in the
German courts in connection with find of
old letters. While removing various docu-
ments from the old law courts to the new
Palace Of Justice at Frankfors-on-th he Maine,
a bag was found containing 175 letters, dat
ing from the year 1886. They were of
Italian origin, and many of them were
directed to persons who lived in the Neither
lands. The correspondence was not damaged
in any way, and as several of the letters con.
tain large sums Of money the question now
arises az to whether the descendants Of the
persons to whom they were addressed can
claim them. The mail service of those days
must have served as the pattern for the
Democrats who have been running the postal
affairs of this country.
The message to the Mississippi legislature
Of Governor Lowry, upon his retirement
after eight years of continuous service,
abounds in proofs of the rapidly growing
prosperity of the State. The valuation of
real and personal property has risen from
$116. .0Oo, 600 to $158, ,OoO, ,O00-an increase of
nearly so per oent--in the brief interval
since 1882; "the business interests of the
State are prosperous; 'the farming inter-
ests have kept pace with the progress of
other industries; ''in ootton-manufacturing
spinales and looms have more than treoled
since 1880, and the growth and increase of
other industries for the same period are quite
as great" Fertilizer factories, canning facto.
ries, barrel, box, and shingle factories, cotton
compresses, cotton-seed-oil mills, water
works, gas works, ice factories, electric light
companies, and hundreds of other important
enterprises, all point unerringly to bright
and prosperous future"

Church Records of SIX Centuries Age.

Church Records of SIX Centuries Age.
birmingham Post Correspondence.l
A most interesting discovery has been
made within the past few days in the ex-
chequer room of Exeter cathedral which
promises to throw considerable light upon
the life and religion of the Euglish people at
the end of the thirteenth and commence
ment of the fourteenth centuries. This is a
book containing the reports of the diocesan
clergy to the dean and chapter in the episco.
pate of Bishop Bytton, about 1901; and 1t
was found by Prebendary Hingeston- Ran
dolph, in the course of the researches into
the Episcopal registers of Exeter, the fruits
of which already fill two volumes, and others
are to come. From his FIRST glance over this
book, which is contemporaneous manu-
script, and not copy, Mr.. Hingeston-R Ram
dolph has seen the record of one vicar who
was complained of because his preaching was
very poor, and ssafter fashion of his own"
Another, it was alleged, explained the gos-
del every Sunday, but did not s'inform" his
hearers very much; while third, though
admitted to have preached fairly we'll, was
asserted never to say a word to the congrega-
tion about the articles of the faith or the
decalogue, or the necessity for avoiding NOR
| tai sins. From one parish came peculiarly
piteous complaint, it being charged that,
whereas former Wears used to encourage
friars to come and preach to the people, the
new vicar had changed all that. He dis
liked his itinerant brethren, kept them at 9
distance as far as possible, and, If any hap
pened to come, gave them the oold shoulder
| and not go much as morsel to eat. The
| vicar, it was agreed, was good man, and
| preached well in the common routine; but
| the parishioners missed the friars, because
| they wanted to hear about the salvation o.
| the eou1-the friars having been the ssSalva
tionists" of 1901. Much moro of tbs sam'
| sort is in this curious volume.

DO MEN NEED TO FLY2

As interesting and instructive an article on
the subject of navigating the air as has ever
been published is contained in the current
B. 81. Thureton of Cornell university, whose
with every department of me-
chanical engineering IL well known through
out the world. He has made himself familiar
with all the attempts to navigate the air from
the earliest times, and in this article records
nearly every case of success and failure. He
believes that the problem of navigating the
air will yet be solved, as the inventive genius
of the world will always be turned to it. Sci~
ence il now doing more for the mechanical
arts than it ever did before. The flight of
birds and of fish, insects and animals that are
able to rise and support themselves In the air
il being carefully studied. We now know
what extent Of wing surface and what power
must be exerted to support the "condor of
the Andes," the humming bird that frequents
our flower gardens and the mosquito that
stings as we sleep.
This matter of flying or sailing about in
the air Is fascinating one, and there is little
doubt that ingenious men will keep at work
until the air is conquered as the sea has been.
But perhaps such conquest will not be very
useful. The Chicago Herald thus points out
some of the reasons why 1t may not be. Air
ships are not needed now for conveying in
telligence, since carrier pigeons are too slow
for the age Of telegrsphs and telephones.
They are not needed for carrying small par
cells, since they can bs conveyed from one
place to another through pneumatic tubes.
Apparently they are not required for carry
ing passengers, as we have railroad trains
that move at the rate of q mile a minute and
steamers that GROSS the Atlantic ocean In less
than six days. Navigating the air will neces-
sarily be very expensive,as much more power
will be required to support heavy car and
its contents in the afr than to propel them.
II will also be very dangerous, for If any part
of the air ship breaks, its cargo and passen-
gers will be dashed in pieces.

Feeding Calves.
[From Farm, Stock and Home.l

lETOm EdFI1s SJoCk duu aomo.1
The greatest obstacle to calf's thrift Is
overfeeding. Next to this is irregularity in
the meal time. A young calfs stomach is
not fitted by nature to take solid food until
the process of rumination is set In motion.
Until this time its food should be in as near
ly the same condition as when drawn from
the maternal fountain. To this end the milk
should be given at or near the bodily tenn
perature, and also in moderate quantities. A
calf may take from the COW twice the quan-
tity that it is safe to give of SKINNED milk.
While fed on new milk the danger is much
less. Two quarts are as much as a two-
weeks-old calf can digest. This may be
gradually increased to three and four quarts.
No matter who feeds the calf, regular
measured amount can only be given by hav-
ing exact measures. A quart cup, costing
ten cents. will insure correctness as to how
much the calf shall have, and watchfulness
on the attendants part will disclose to him
II the calf is over fed. At the first symptom
of scours withhold the milk and give instead
a raw egg; holding the head up, crushing
the egg in the victims mouth, keeping the
nose up until all has been swallowed. At
three weeks the young calf begins to nibble
at hay, and at two months will eat it like q
yearling. By giving the young things meal
or whole oats after drinking, the habit Of
sucking each other will be checked.

An Argument For Cremation.
IDr. D. NJ. Skinner In Medical and Surgical Re

porter.I
The plague of Modena, in 1928, was oaus-
ed by the excavation of ground used two
hundred years previously for interment of
bodies dead from that disease. The plague
in Egypt in 1918 was the result of the re-
opening of graveyard many years disussd.
Cholera in London, in 1854, was greatly sg-
gravated by cutting viaduct through an
old burial ground. A recent epidemic OF
scarlet fever in the vicinity of an English
churchyard led to the discovery that the bod
les Of those who had died from q scarletina
outbreak some years previously were buried
in rhe grounds. DR.. Domingo Freire OF Rio
de Janeiro has established the fact that GEM
eteries and graveyards serve largely -
breeding grounds for the germ of yellow TO-
yer. DR.. Lyon Playfair of London writes:
81 have examined various ehurchyards
and burial grounds, for the purpose
of ascertaining whether the layer
of earth above the bodies is sufficient
to absorb the putrid gases evolved. The
slightest inspection shows that they are not
thoroughly absorbed by the soil lying over
the bodies. I know several churchyarda
where the most fetid odors are emitted from
the sides of sewers passing in the vicinity,
although they msy be more than thirty feet
away from them." Sir Henry Thompson

PROFRssoR MARsH,s REPLY

Professor Marsh occupies a page of yester-
tsrday's Herald with his reply to Professor
Cope's charges against him. IL is the most
readable page Of the Herald, and it does not
indicate that the professor had need to ask
any of his assistants to write anything for
him. Those who have followed the contro-
versy will be obliged to confess that profess
sor Marsh has certainly much the best of it
80 far as vigor, point and comprehensiveness
in the use Of the English language are COM
cerned. If Professor Cope DOESN'T smart
under some of the lashes laid upon him he
must be extraordinarily thick skinned. But
Professor Marsh's reply is no mere collection
Of words skillfully used. he pays careful
attention to facts, and if Professor Cope has
nothing more to offer than has yet appeared
the general verdict will be that he has not
made much out Of his attack. The whole
affair is evidently the climax of long COM

guished scientists, and now that there has

The story a. told by Mr.. Robinson was as fol-
lows:
"Within month after Colonel Drake had
struck the frst petroleum ever brought to

my father and the father of my relatives here
