 | The rate of travel of thunderstorms has been studied by Herr Schronrock from the record of 197 such storms in Russia in 1888. The velocity is found to have varied from thirteen to fifty miles an hour, with mean of 2S6 miles an hour in the hot season and increasing to thirty-two miles an hour in the cold season. It was least in the early morning, increasing to maxi, mum between and 10 p. m. The storms travelled most quickly from southwest west and northwest.

The CAPITALIST.

He Employs Labor For Profit and Not
From q Sense Of Patriotism or Public
Duty.
In an article entitled, Have we
more work than workers." the ALI
ance Farmer observes:
''If capitalists would put their money
in such enterprises as are needed all
over the country, our working classes
might all be employed at compensatory
wages and fair income derived on the
investment The vast body of
American capitalists are indisposed to
take the slightest risk They will loan
their money on gilt-edged security, but
are disinclined to put it to other uses,
partly because they are cowardly, and
partly because our high interest rates
assure them the most profit English
men have more adventure and dare in
vest in American enterprises, notwith-
standing the backwardness of our cap
italists."
Capitalists, as such, are not bound to
invest their capital in enterprises that
are needed" With them the meas
ure of the need" is not the want" of
the community, but the amount of
profit to be derived from the filing OF
that want They do not invest their
capital for the public good; that is in
cidental to the motive, but not OF it
They do not engage in enterprises that
require the employment of sour work
ing classes" with no other motive than
the desire of employing them. No
They invest their capital solely and
singly, for profit; and just so long as
other avenues that yield larger per-
centage of profit-although requiring
the employment of fewer workmen-
are open, just so long will the stream
of capital continue to flow in that di-
rection.
Capitalists cannot be regarded as be-
ing ''cowardly" because they do not
take unnecessary risks; to do SO would
be 'foolhardy." How, then, are we to
reap public as well as private gain
from the capitalist class? Evidently
not by regarding them as ''cowardly,"
but by so adjusting the relation of cap
ital and labor as to oblige the former
to employ the latter. This can be
done but in one way-by reducing the
rate of interest on money. The truth
of this can be seen In the fact that
"Englishmen dare invest in American
enterprises" not because they are
more courageous, but for the reason
that English capital, obtained at lower
rates of interest, can afford to embark
In productive enterprises and realize Q
profit
The part the Farmers Alliance move
ment is to take in turning the channels
in which future capital is to run is not
yet appreciated by the people; but once
in power, and their determination to
reduce the rates of interest by dethron-
ing the national banks and compelling
the government to furnish money at .
nominal cost realized, glory such as
never yet dawned upon this usury
stricken world will light the way to q
civilization for which we need not blush

tury.-Pacific Union.

CHINESE BURIAL CUSTOMS.

The Young Laid Away With But Scant
Ceremony.
"Why do the Americans bury their
young with the same ceremony as they
bury their old people?" asked Ow Pack,
an old philosophical Chinaman of No.
Is Mott street, as he stood at his door
watching the funeral of small child,
which was followed by six or seven
coaches filed with mourners.
whats the objection?"
Because 1t is altogether wrong in
the natural order of things. Suppose, ("
said he. 'ta man had So, 600 in bank, and
that all of his six little children should
die within one year, and each was
given such funeral as the one passing.
That man would not have enough
money left to buy himself decent din
ner with after the last funeral"
DO you manage these things better
in China?"
'Of course we do. We go on the
ground that nobody has any right TO go
and die before they have at least
partially atoned for the many troubles
and trials they gave to their parents,
and ii they do they don't deserve an ex-
pensive funeral"
What do you do with them then?"
We'll, we have these rules: For all
deaths before the age of five simple
bundle of hay is wrapped around the
body and tied with the cheapest rope
possible. A hole is dug in the most OBJ.
scure part of the hillside and into it the
bundle Is thrown, sometimes covered
and sometimes exposed purposely forthe
body to be devoured by dogs and wild
beasts 1t all depends upon the tenn
permanent of the parents offended by
their daring to die so young.
For all deaths before the age of
twenty and after the age of five, when
parents are yet alive, rough, unpaint-
ed pine box is made, and this coffin is
carried, pig fashion, between two men,
and, Ike the other, is buried in the OBJ
scure places IN the mountains or hills.
Those youths who have married, but
have no male issue, are buried quietly
In the family graveyard. but without
ceremony. If they have male issue,
and their own parents are still living,
their bodies will be inferred in the reg
ular family plot with only half of the
usual ceremonies If their parents are
both dead, then no matter how young
they may be, so long as they are them
selves the parents of legal son, their
bodies are inferred with the full cere-
monies of full man or woman, as the
case may be.
mo matter how loving the parents
may be toward their children. they
cannot follow their bodies to their
graves. 1t is deemed a sacriIege and
curse to the children's souls While on

that this climate is

common cheap kinds
to chalk and fade, CIV
