The Wends. who. we believe are the
ancestors of the modern Prussians, are
the center OF a great many legends.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin was a
Wend; SO also was the Piper OF Hartz
mountains who appeared SO many
days q year. and played unearthly
tunes, and whatsoever heard at once
fell into a frenzy. from which there
was no escaping. All these pied and
Wierd pipers assembled once year at
the Broken. where there was gen.
eral carnival, the Arch Fiend leading
the concert on violin. witches roll

tons Of i have been sprinllcd about the

does it affect health? Why, when it
comes in contact with frozen substances
it PRODUCES chemical change the effect
OF which is to create an artificial tenn
perature, reducing the temperature of
the siush of thawin9 snow to point
equivalent to several degrees below
zero. So instead of walking through
slush of q temperature around freezing
point, OUR feet arc subjected to the in
tluence Of zero atmosphere heavily
charged with penetrating and chilling
moisture. Once the salt is placed on
the streets it is quickly carried by the
feet Of pedestrians and the movements
OF cars and other vehicles until it is so
widely scattered that almost the entire
surface has this artificial temperature.
Then tic WARMER atmosphere coming
in contact with the chill below, conden-
shtion takes place, making damp,

the dangers of diphthcria. pneumonia
and other kindred afTc ctions. You see

and is clad in new store made suit.
He has standing piccadilly collar and
black scarf In place OF the oid-time

shows linen cuffs, cuff buttons, and
gold watch chain. His closely
trimmed hair and his mustache show
the 'handiwork Of the barber, and bis

A WEAK CONCLUSION,

The fatality which too often presides over
legislative dealings with great combinations
appears in the report of the New York Sem
ate Committee on the Sugar Trust The same
disposition to lame and impotent conclu-
sion was manifest in. the dealings of the
courts with the Trust. and it still seems to
be in force.
The report Of the committee points out
that one of the chief purposes of the Trust
was to provide for the issue of certificates
obviously for the advantag. OF the persons
managing it, together with other of the we'll
known purposes for concentrating wealth in
the hands OF the few at the cost of the many.
Having brought out these indlsputable facts,
the committee, according to the report, res
ommends ''that trusts either be restrained
or placed under the control of a State
bureau"
This is terrible anti-climax both to the
facts stated in the report and to other we'll
known points in the history of the legal
dealing with trusts. The report takes into
consideration combination which has al
ready been declared illegal and forbidden
by the highest Judicial authority of New
York. 1t is true the judicial decree was
ignored and nulliied by the Trust mag
mates, while the officers of the law
stood with hands in pockets and permitted
the device for unconcealed evasion to 60 on
unchecked. 1t would seem that a capital
istic aggregation defying the laws and
courts of New York, after being declared
illegal and contrary to public policy, might
inspire legislative committee to more rad.
ical recommendations than that trusts "be
restrained or placed under the control of
State bureau"
Legislators who have spent months in
trying to extract information from the de-
FAINT magnates should by this time have
learned the lesson of the old man in the
primer, and be ready to do something more
effective than throwing grass at the nulli-
fers of the law.

Romance of an odd Coin.

Judge J. D. Hammack, Of Crawfordsville,
Ga. is the owner Of a s. gold piece which has q
peculiar and touching history. says the At
lanta Constitution. 1t was made of Carolina
gold, and as 1t bears NO date it is impossible to
tell in what year it was made. But other cir.
cumstances connected with its history lead rs
to believe that it has been more than 100 years
since it was coined This coin is what Is known
as an "a. Bechtler Carolina gold coin" On
one side it bears the name of Rutherford" !"
The face Of this coin shows no evidence AZ to
what portion OF Carolina it was made In.
Forty years ago an old negro woman was sold
as slave in South Carolina and brought to
this section Of Georgia. When the day ar.
rived for her departure from her native land
this % Carolina gold piece as a token of his
faithful devotion. After she was brought to
Georgia she served very faithfully until the
close of the late Civil War. Then her freedom
was given. BY this time old age had steadily
crept or. All these years she kept this piece
OF money as remembrance of the by-gone
days. It matters not how depressed she be-
came in money matters she would never suffer
it to be used.
Some years before her death she decided that
this money should be used for the purpose of
the death message came, ana her friends car.
ried out her last wishes by using this money
to purcase the coffln-which was bought Of
Judge ]. d. Hammack.
This is how he came in possession OF this
curious piece of money, and we doubt If there
is another coin like it in the United States.
A. bechtler had permit from the United
States Government shortly after the RevoJu-
uonary war to coin this Carolina gold.

WEATHER EXPLOSIONS.

The "rain-maker," who in Central Africa
is one Of the most necessary ministers to any
savage and superstitious potentate, is rising
to importance in this country. The latest
person to appear in that capacity is Robert
G. Dryenforth, of the District of Columbia,
who has been appointed special agent to ex-
pend the s., 600 appropriated by Congress for
experiments on the production of rain storms
by explosions.
This theory is founded on the observation
o; frequent rain storms following prolonged
firing OF artillery during battles, or great ex-
plosious of the accidental sort 1t is pro-
posed to carry out these experiments by send
ing up balloons filed with h,oxy-hydrogen gas
aud exploding them with an electric wire.
The experiments should certainly enable q
definite determination of the. capacity of
such explosions to produce rain. A toIera-
bly, well-founded view will exist in advance
that when there is fair degree of humidity
in the atmosphere the explosions will cause
precipitation; while when the atmosphere is
dry it is very doubtful if any material re-
suits will be secured.
Ii the experiment should prove success
fut an advance would be established in the
ability to produce rain when it is wanted;
but we would still be as far off from COM
plete control of the elements with regard to
the ability to stop rain when we have too
much of it. During the past two years the
need Of a large part of the country has been
for the stoppage of superfuous rain. It
looks at present as if it would be an i'm
,ort mt step to be able to command rain
when wanted; but it we should start the
rains some time and they should refuse 70
stop, we might find that invention had pro-
duced a very Frankenstein of moisture
precipiiators.

THE VALUE OF THE CANAL.

The article on the feasibility and profsa
bleness of the Lake Erie Snip Canal in an
other column affords clear 1demonstratioi
Of the value Of that project. 1t shows tha
the engineering practicability Of the cana
has been fully demonstrated by carefu
surveys; that contractors are ready to under
take its construction at the estimates OF thu
Commission, and that there is nothing Il
prevent the waterway from being put ints
actual operation except the difficulty o
convincing the sksptical and overcoming
the opposition Of interested parties.
The communication is in reply TO remark
| By journal of the class unable to sssimi
late the Importance of the project 1t very
effectively shows that, on the ore freights ol
pig iron alone, this project would insure 9
saving on the product of Allegheny county
and the valleys of $685. 900, while the
economy on coke and pig iron shipped would
make the total over $4,000, 900. But 1t /,
well known that such an economy would in
a very short time triple the output. Even
mage pay interest on the whole cost of con-
struction, this would effect an annual econ
omy in the iron trade alone of nearly five
million dollars.
But this is only half the story. The canal
would make an economy on coal shipments
nearly equal in amount per ton to the iron
trade and exceeding it in gross tonnage. It
would, by infinitely widening the market,
practically give Western Pennsylvania an
addition of 80 cents per ton on its coal ship
ments. In other words, this route would
effect saving on the iron and coal traffic
sufficient to build the canal anew every
three years. and would distribute that saw
ing in the price of iron and fuel all the way
from Staten Island to Duluth.
These are important facts to anyone who
has the fairness to consider them. OF course,
there are journals SO bound up by corporate
affiliations that they cannot give decent
hearing TO projects designed exclusively for
the public hearing. One Democratic organ
in New York, which is notorious for swear
ing to everything the railroad manipulators
want answers the complaint that the Kan
sas City Commercial Convention was a
Democratic body with the sneer that, as
that gathering Endorsed the canal projects.
it was swayed by Republican ideas. It is
doing the Republican party a little too
much honor to credit it with policy that
would break down the power of the rail.
roads.
There is no doubt that the policy Of insur-
ing cheap water transportation all over the
country by canal connections between rivers
the future of this country. The ignorant
and interested may oppose it; but it is
bound to come as one of the greatest changes
of the next ten or twenty years.
