Troubles of a Magazine.

1t has been a matter of curiosity for some
time why Nicolay and Hays 'Life of
Lincoln" with all its invaluable material,
should rave been SO nearly worthless as a
literary work. The most cynical theory of it
ia one advanced by a pretty we'll known
writer who has himself done something in
history. "The writer, of the Life said he,
event about their task like a newspaper re-
porter on a fat assignment. They were
practically unlimited as to space, and the
more they wrote the more money they
made, both on the magazine articles and on
the book reprint. Accordingly, instead of
writing a great book as concisely as their
material would let them, for the %instruc-
ton of q busy age, they padded it at every
point and filed it with offensive adulation
of their subject, who doesn't need it. The
result is huge multiplication of words
which no one will read"
The Century has been rather unfortunate
in it's special features. The Lincoln biog-
raphy was a disappointment, the genuine
ness of the Talleyrand memoirs has been
doubted, the best article ever published in
the war series was afterwards acknowledged
to be a pure fake and the Siberian articles
remain unfinished because Mr.. George Ken
nan, who owes his reputation to the Cen
fury, now holds his obligations to it SECOND
to his more remunerative lecture engage
ments.

PROGRESS IN SCIENCE.

M. MAREY, by arranging his own ap- paratus, has succeeded in photograph ing the flight of insects, the exposure of the plate being necessarily not over 1-25, ,000th part of second.
 ONE of the most peculiar marine curi- osities found at the bottom of the sea is the brain stone, which in many ways resembles the head of a human being, with it's many brain-like furrows.
 TIE wearing away of the cliffs on the shores of England has of late attracted considerable attention and the problem is being attentively studied with the view of preventing the erosive action of the waves as well as the streams that trickle down.
 PRoY. VAN BESsCHt TEN, of Middle town, Conn, has d.a1cv"red 2 new in sect which attacks and kills currant worms. He proposes to cultivate this useful insect extensively, with the hope of exterminating the currant pest, which all other means have failed to accom- plish.
 TIE ornithologist of the Death Valley (Cal.) expedition has secured many rare specimens of mammals, some of which are almost unknown. At Pigeon spring some fifty specimens of very rare mouse were taken. Of this peculiar species but one specimen, taken abou, fifty years ago, is said to exist.

These words are true of the disinter-

These words are true of the disinter- ested men of science. We have never had in this country men more uniform ly cheerful and good-tempered than Franklin, Rittenhouse and Jefferson, who spent most of the leisure of their lives in the pursuit of knowledge: and Prof. Agassiz was noted for the buoy ancy of his spirits in every company where he felt at home. But we can say something similar of every person who has pursuit suited to his talents and circumstances.
 The happy people are they who have an occupation which they love, apart from any advantage it may bring them, one that they can pursue with generous ardor. It is the element of disinterestedness that cheers their lives, whether they are engaged in ordinary or extraordinary vacations; and this is the reason why earnest stu dents have such a keen enjoyment of existence. e.-Chicago Herald.

students In Paris.

From inquiries which have been made at Paris, it appears that last year there were 1,O71 foreign students there, and this is represented as fair average. The Germans amounted to only nine teen, while the Austrians numbered one less. There were 154 British stu dents and 296 Russians and Poles. The Balkan peninsula sent the large con- tingent of 315-Greeks, Turks, Rou- manians, Scrvians and Iulgarians be- ing included in this category. The schools of medicine and law appro- priated by far the greater number, for while 729 attended the former, lS2 at tended at the latter. The faculty of theology only had one foreign student,

A SIMPLE PRUPUSIIluN.

AS between free trade and protection
the natural logic Of things would seem to
suggest that what is good for free trade
would be anything but good for
the United States where home industries
are afforded ample protection. Some fig
ures just sent out to the press of the
world from England bear directly upon
this subject anu would seem to indicate
that the present policy of protection is
one that the masses in this country can
well afford to foster and encourage. Ac-
cording to these figures Eng and exports
to the United States for fallen has $4,000
900 in the last three months as compared
with the value of exports from that coun-
try to this for tie same three months ont
year ago. In OF Ter words the Mckinney
bill has served to keep $9,000,000 a
home, which, ordinarily would have beep
sent by our people to English manuiac-
turers. This is at the rate of $36 900, 900 a
year, and a measure that will keep thai
much money in circulation among Amer
lcan laboring men and mechanics, caus-
ing the consuming of home raw material
would seem to be pretty wise thing Nj
wonder England kicks against the policy
of American protection.

COLLAPSE OF The POWELL IDEA,

There is western man at the helm in
the general land office who seems to un
derstand his business. Comr. Carter,
with the approval of Secretary Noble, has
just issued an order that is of significant
interest to the people of the west. The
water storage reservoir sites which Major
Powell and his geological survey hangers
on so elaborately mapped out and ere
served" for the use of the government in
Colorado, Wyoming, Dakota, New Mexico
and elsewhere, have been ordered re-
stored to the public domain and thrown
open for entry to the home seeker. This
is quite right. Major PowelPs scheme to
expend millions of the national funds in
lifetime job are thus pretty effectually
nipped. The people OF the. arid region
have never asked the government to
expend cent toward the construction
of reservoirs, as Powell succeeded in
making a number of tender foot congress
men to think. They did ask for surveys
and data, but Mr.. Powell saw a good
thing in it for himself and friends, and
he carried the "reserving" process too
far, quite too far. What the people now
ask is that the arid lands be ceded to the
states and territories for reclamation.
they may succeed in securing compli-
ance with this demand, but whether they
do or not it is gratifying to note this very
excellent indication that the Powell idea
has collapsed for all time.

THE NEW MEXICO WEATHER SERvI CE.

The New Mexico weather bureau SER
vice cooperating with the government
department of agriculture is making a
splendid record. Director Hersey now
has twenty-five stations in successful
operation. The state of Florida was
given such service at the same time as
was New Mexico, and there the success
has not been near 80 pronounced. This
is an institution that will continue to
grow in importance as time elapses, and
the official data respecting the weather,
crops, cllmatoogy, ETC., will be OF great
practical worth to large class of people
both at home and abroad. The people
of those localities should see to it that
stations are supplied at Albuquerque, Las
Cruces, Deming, Eddy, Las Vegas, Ra-
ton and Springer.

CITIZENS Of Idaho petition the commits
sioner of the general land Office that
100000 acres of land adjoining the yell
lowstone national park on the west be set
apart as a permanent timber reserve.
One thing that makes this request peril
nent is that the region in question fur
nishes the principal water supply for the
Snake river, the chief afIiuent of the
Columbia. The permanent reservation
of this tract would not necessarily inter-
fore with the development OF any neigh
boring country. The judlcious thinning
out of the timber would do no harm. 1t
is wholesale destruction that is to be

Postmaster General Wanamaker has ef-

about 100000 year. 1t had been the
custom, since the free delivery service
was instituted twenty-eight years ago, to
require letter carriers to count and keep
an account of all letters, postal cards and
second, third and fourth class matter COL
lected, the total number of pieces han
died. and the total postage on all local
matter collected. -Bradstreet
