And Thus Our Idols Fall.

From the New York Sun.
Can anything be depended upon in
this uncertain and fuctuant world? Here
is Boston professor who swears that
the parallels of latitude are not immut-
ably parallel, but wriggle like fish
worm. If people cannot pin their faith
in the parailelism of parallel lines, eff
the parallel is not only deadly but out of
plumb, what can they stick to, and on
what can they stand and not be moved?
Are the poles polar, and will the equator
continue to equate? Star-eyed science is
grubbing too much, and these unsettling
discoveries make old beliefs to shake and
sag, Captain j. Smith is gone and Viii
liam Tell is told, and now must the par
allels of latitude take to unsteady habits?
The age of reason grows unreasonable,
and the moon jumps over the COW.

The Governors once.
From the Buffalo Courier.

The fact that Governor Hill cannot,
under the law, resign the governorship
when the legislature is not in session was
first pointed out in these columns, and
the correctness of this view seems to be
generally admitted. 1t is possible that
during an absence Of the governor from
the state the lieutenant governor may
perform executive duties as acting gov
ernor, but such an arrangement would
not legally transfer the title to the gov
ernorship from the Incumbent to the
lieutenant governor for the remainder of
the unexpired term. The governor
might at any time return to the state,
exercise the power of the Office, and pus
an end to the lieutenant governors tenn
porary performance of gubernatorial
duties.

The Beals abduction case at Kansas
City last week has been the theme of
much moralizing by the press of the
country. The st. Joseph News takes
this view of it: "The payment Of 5000
by Banker Beals Of Kansas City, for the
recovery of his stolen child, was of
course very natural act, but his persist
ence in refusing to prosecute the abduc-
tors because he had given his word not
to, while it may be according to the
ethics Of honor, is direct invitation to
other wretches to commit similar act.
Perhaps so; but that would not justify
he banker in classifying his pledge of
honor. He probably takes a higher view
of the matter than the average person,
and satisfies himself with the divine in
junction concerning the recompense of
vengeance. In no sense can he be &C
cused of compromising felony.

Limit Of the Earth,s Foundation.

Before the recent meeting of the
PIitish Association at Leeds, Mr..
Ravcnstein made some interesting re-
marks on the earth's population. He
pointed out the various areas on the
worlds surface which were unin-
habited. and said the area of the
land within the limits fit for the
growth Of cereals was 1880, 600
square miles namely: cultivable, %,
209, 900 square miles; steppe, 10, 90l,s
600 square miles; and desert, 4,lS0,4
900 square miles. The population of
the area in 1890 Was ,467 900, 900,
and the popu alton in the year 2072 A.
d., should this present increase In the
population be maintained, would be
8, 994, 100000. He has calculated
that this population was the number
the earth could feed hey were con>
tent with a reasonable increase in
their present allowance and did not
develop INTO voracious animals. OF
course, that depended upon whether
the earth's surface was properly cult,
waited.
