According to the figures given new track
has been laid in forty-three states and

track was laid this year are the states Of
Delaware, Connecticut, Nevada and Mis-.

Frank Leszie's Weekly observes: "Mr.
Gladstone has written a letter denounc-
ing gambling as a formidable and grow.
ing national evil. He says he is ready
to aid any effort that aims at its extine-
ton. The recent disclosures of the
baccarat scandal involving the Prince of
Wales resulted in a sort of ~semi-apology
for gambling on the part of the servile
followers of the Prince. We quoted re-
Gently from the London Spectator, in
which gambling was openly defended.
At this juncture it is creditable to Mr..
Gladstone that he has publicly expressed
his views. Gambling is not only the
national evil in England, but also in this
country. The number of defaEeations.
robbefies, thefts, murders and suicides
that car be laid at the gamblers door
would shock the moral sense of the peo-
pie if it were revealed. Occasionally
the news columns of the papers show the
demoralizing influence of the gambling
den and the race track. but if the facts
were marshaled in solid array, the up
rising against the evil wouldamake itself
overwhelmingly felt"

A Partisan electrician has succeeded

Peter johnson, of Dassel, Mimi. thinks
he has discovered the long lost art of

a maehinist, want to organize a company

1t is customary now to mount electric
light projectors on rails running athwart-
ship, usually over the bridge or forward
end of the poop. The rails are sunk SO
as to bring them flush with the deck.
When not in use the projectors are run
in board and protected better from. the

having lived ffty-four years in the Re-

While oysters are plentiful and cheap
in New York, places farther from the
sources Of Supply are beginning to feel
the effect Of a consumption which has
outrun the productiyeness of the old
oyster grounds, and drained them so that
it has become necessary to let them lie
fallow and recuperatc. According to
one Of the largest oyster-shipping firms
in Milwaukee, Wis, which is a chief
distributing point for the Northwest and
as far West as Oregon and Washington,
the beds in Chesapeake Bay, from which
nearly all the oysters shipped West have
been taken, have been almost completely
exhausted. The necessity of allowing the
seed to recruit, curtailed the supply to a
great extent, and this year it is expected
that there will be a greater shortage.
"The~ plain facts said a representative
Of the firm mentioned, ssare that tho
American people have come to using
oysters beyond the natural supply, and
the future growth has thereby been i'm
periled, and the supply promises to be
less each succeeding year. We as a ma
tion are eating more oysters now than ever

Many Men Are Magnets.

That the human frame is an excellent
magnet is well known by practical ex.
perience to every matchmaker and mend.
er, says a jeweler. A man viii carry a
watch for years and be proud of its &C.
curacy; then he viii fall sick, the watch
will lie on the mantel or on the dresser,
and will develop great inaeeuracy and
unreliability.
No explanation is forthcoming, except
the one that the absence of magnetism
upsets the time announcer, and the best
proof of this is that when the man gets
around again and carries his watch il
0 gets all right again.
No two men appear to have the same
magnetism in their frames, and it is sci,
dom that two individuals can use the
same watch satisfactorily.-a. LOaa

Says the New York Msrcury: The
English exchanges are just now busily
engaged in suggesting ways of making
village life attractive and keeping rural
young men and women at home. There
as here, the cities are drawing away
from home the sinew and bloom Of the
country and agricultural life suffers by
the change. This was the experience of
Italy after Rome became a great city,
and all France is suffering now because
Paris has a world of amusements to offer.
1t begins to look as if the tendency of
population to the towns were irresistible,
and as if the world must prepare to ac-
cspt the fact that fartn life is becoming
l~iscreditable in the eyes of the energetic

What a Modern Gun Can Do.

Unless one is actually brought into
business relations with the great science
Of modern warfare, it is difficult to con.
ceive Of the terrible power Of the latest
and largest guns. These engines of de-
struction, weighing 10 tons, hurl a pro.
jectile Of solid steel sixteen inches IL
diameter and nearly four feet long at i
velocity of 2079 feet a second. When
tested recently, of these guns sent a
shot through twenty inches Of steel ar
mour, eight inches Of iron, twenty feet
Of oak, five feet Of granite, eleven feet
of concrete and three feet of buck. Com
paratiYely, a locomotive weighing 200,-
900 pounds would have to spin along tne
tracks at the rate Of 135 miles an hour
to strike a blow equal to that projectile.
Think of the damage wrought in a rail-
road collision where the train speeds
along at the rate Of thirty miles an hour,
and n may calculate the destructive.
ness Of modern ordnance.-B5s1n.
