SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
THE EARTH's UNsrEAD1SEss.

It has been pointed out that the
shifting of masses of air and water
may explain the recently observed
changes in the earth's axis of rota-
ton. A German physicist, Herr
Damp, notes the displacement north
ward of the maxima of air-pressure
in the trade-wind region, and of
ocean currents, as the sun rises in
summer; and that the water passes
back to the southern hemisphere as
our winter approaches. It is calcu-
lated that the change observed in
the latitude of Berlin about S
seconds) would be brought about
by the movement of $500 cubic
metres of water from 800 south
latitude to $50 north latitude, pro-
ducing a rise in sea-level of only 4
inches. The reality of the oscillation
of the axis is to be tested in differ
ent parts of the world-including
the South Pacifc-by further OBJ
servations, and the results will be
awaited everywhere with great in
terest.

ENGLAND,S TROUBLES.

The Indian possessions of Eng
land just now are giving her
trouble. She has now no less than
three affairs on her hands, one with
the Mauipuris in Burmat, several
tribes in the Punjaub, and one with
the Rindoos of the ancient city of
Benaires, whose grievance is the re-
moyal of an old and sacred Temple
for waterworks. In a country like
India there is most always more or
less trouble, especially with Russia
always trying to stir up strife
among the natives to weaken Eng
lands power in India, and though
no serious danger is apprehended it
will cost England good round sum
before peace is restored.
The Times-Democrat says Eng
land, warned by the awful expert
ence of the great Indian mutiny of
1856, has taken steps that
will prevent its recurrence under
any circumstances, and its govern
ment of India is carried on shrewdly
to prevent another mutiny, but its
precautions are so concealed as
scarcely to be observed. At the
time of the mutiny, the English
army in India consisted of 10000
European and 215,000 native sol
diers, or more than five natives to
each Europeans proportion which
England has discovered to be dan
gerous, and which has not been al
lowed since, the present army con-
sisting of 1880 Europeans and
$4,000 natives, or little more than
double the force of the English sol
dierS

a GROWING MAN.

The Memphis Commercial, one of
the ablest new spapers in the ccun-
try, has this to. say with reference to
the candida 81 of Hon. Roger @.
Mills for tn speakership. "For the
same reast N that Mr.. Cleveland is
the select ed candidate of the Demo-
Gratis of he United States for presi-
dent, N r, Mills of Texas, is gradual
" com ing to be considered the lead
ing andidate for speaker of the
hous' of representatives. Nh. Cleve-
land IS tariff reform message in 1887
ma ie him the candidate of his party
for reelection, and so it is coming
tcl be conceded that the Mills bill,
Shich he so bravely and intelligent
" fought for in the house of the
tiftieth congress, makes the great
Texan the candidate for the third
Office under the government. He is
a sound, healthy Jeffersonian Demo
crat, without equiyocation or reser-
walton. He believes that the tariff
should be reduced 10 the point of
revenue only, and that thus the peo-
pie should have the necessaries of
life cheapened to them, and the man.
ufacturers have free raw material.
He is for the masses and opposed
to the classes, and is strongly con-
WINGED that the administration of
the government through and by
Jefersonian doctrines and principles
will assure the greatest good of the
greatest numbers. Mr.. Mills is a
growing man. His earnestness, his
honesty, his frankness and the quality
of bluff heartiness in which some
pretend to have found an obiectional
quality, all commend him and to the
trust and confidence of the people
whom he serves with answering
fidelity"

BIOLOGICAL BOUNDARIES.

Naturalists recognize certain
number of what we might call
geological centres ofpopulatlon, says
DR.. F. S. Oswald, and it seems
strange how completely a narrow
marine channel has after prevented
the four-footed native of such regions
from colonizing a neighboring con-
tinent. Asia, for instance, at one
point almost touches the archipelago
of the Sunda Islands, which seem to
form a series of stepping-stones to
the Australian mainland, yet the
geological contract between Lab
rador and Brazil is not greater than
that between Hindostan and Aus
tralia. From such centres of distri-
button as Burmah and Bengal a
hundred different mammals have
spread north and west, but only
three of them, q wild dog and two
species of rodents, succeeded in
making their way to the land of the
kangaroo.

aHARp AND COOP TIMES"

Utopian dreamers, who believe
that human nature and things in
general can be quickly legislated
into perfection, will do well to pom
der on some of the common sense
statements culled from a lecture by
DR.. W. W. Folwell, recently deliv-
cred before Dudley P. Chase Post,
G. A. R: lizard times and coed
alternate with surprising regularity,
and one apparently hinges upon the
other. For fifty years booms and
slumps have followed each other in
regular succession, and they will
continue to do so just so long as the
spirit of speculation remains, or the
desire to get something for nothing.
The suggested remedies end in the
election of some one to Congress;
but they invariably prove Intellectual
The only promising remedies foE
hard times will be found in abolis b
ing vicious legislation, applying or
rect principles to new needs, pro vid
ing sound money, fostering sch ools
a pure ballot, and honest adj minis
tration. Temperance, co-opt rativt
industries, economical habits anc
less worship of the almighty dollar
will also contribute greatly to
ward removing the hard, times
which ordinary panaceas cannot af
feet in the slightest degree

WEATHER PREDTCrIONs.

W. F. Foster, of st. Joseph, Mo-,
says: My last letter gave forecasts
of the storm wave due to cross the
continent from April % to May 2.
The next storm wave will be due to
leave the Pacific coast May 8, pass
the Rocky-Allegheny valley from
4th to 9th and reach the Atlantic
coast about the 7th. This storm
will begin to increase its force about
the time it is descending the eastern
slope of the Rocky mountains and
will soon thereafter become a storm
Of very considerable force. It will
probably be the greatest storm of
the month and its influence will be
felt in all the states. 1 would not
be surprised to hear of tornadoes
being developed by this storm wave
and severe gales may be expected
on the lakes. The great storms,
however, will occur in June. Only
an average amount of rainfall may
be expected from this disturbance
and it very unevenly distributed.
Frost will occur following the storm
a little further south than usual. In
two weeks from date of this letter
l will give very important forecasts
of the great storms of this year and
the kind of weather we will have
next winter.
Reciprocity with Brazil and other
South American republics will open
markets, it is said for the sale of
bread stuffs to 45,OOO,OOO people
who now regard ordinary bread as a
luxury. Brazil itself will lose S.
100000 yearly by the removal of
duties on imports from the United
States, and other South American
countries will lose proportionateIy,
but they are willing to make the
sacrifice for the sake of finding here
an open market for their coffee,
sugar, rubber, chocolate, cochineal,
etc. In exchange they will take our
wheat, corn, agricultural machinery,
glassware, cutlery, leather goods,
cotton goods, etc. Brazil now buys
over 100000 worth of cotton
goods annually from Europe, and
only 100000 from this country,
though American cotton goods are
much superior in quality. With re-
ciprocity, the situation may soon be
reversed.

ONE OF IRELANp's WOES.

her-drinking in Ireland, accord.
ing to DR.. Ernest Hart, seems to
date from 1912. The greatest con-
sumption of ether was in 1876, after
which there was a diminution, re-
Gently followed by an increase until
at the present time the amount used
nearly equals that of 1876. The
supply comes mostly from large En-
glish establishments. From two
drains to half an ounce is the guam
tity usually taken, and this is re-
peated from two to six times day.
Intoxication is quickly produced,
and quickly passes away. Some
what less bodily arrangement seems
to.result from ether than from alco-
hol, the effects of an extended use
of the former being usually train
of nervous and circulatory distur-
Dances, while moderate drinkers
suffer from stomach troubles. Moral
deterioration is a marked effect of
ether-drinking.

No ONE can doubt that the reci-

the United States and Spain will be
highly beneficial to this country,

trade with the Spanish West Indies,

itself will probably suffer from this
reciprocity, and indeed it protested
strongly against it; and but for the
decided attitude assumed by Cuba,
the talk of annexation to the United
States, and the belief that to refuse
reciprocity would be to encourage
revolution and threaten the loss of
its colonies, that country would
never have consented to this ar
