The energy OF modern artillery is
somewhat appalling, and threatens to
destroy friend and foe together. A
67-ton gun on the British battle ship
Trafalgar was pointed directly ahead
and fired with $50 pounds OF slow
burning powder and n l, $50 pound
proiectile. The blast produced by the
rush OF powder-gas and the shot was,
so tremendous that the plates OF the
forecastle were forced in and the deck
beams bent out OF shape. A hint what.
the effect might be on an enemy will
be given at the naval exhibition, where
will be shown projectile that has
been fired from llO-ton gun. This.
remarkable shot is said to havo been.
driven in succession through twenty
inch steel plate, eight inches of iron,
twenty feet OF oak balks, five feet of
granite and eleven feet of concrete,
finally lodging at a depth of three feet
in mass of brick masonry.

Census of n Cheese.

DIR. Adametz, Swiss scholar, has
been taking the census of the inhabi-
tants OF a cheese. The microscopic
examination Of the ',gramm" of fresh
Ementhaler cheese, such as is sold in
England under the name of Gruyere,
contained no fewer than so, 600 So
called microbes. This prodigious en-
campment after seventy days, proved
to have increased to tribe of 600, 900.
Another sort of cheese contained with
in a single 'gramm" board and lodg-
ing for about 3 900, 900 microbes, and
in q 'gramm" cut from the rind OF the
same cheese DR.. Adametz found about
3, 900. 900 of these inhabitants. A piece
of cheese upon our table of few
pounds weight may consequently con-
tain more microbe inhabitants than
there are human beings in the whole
world.

THE San Francisco Star tells of six
lots in that city which We're wanted in
order to open a street. A commission
appraised them at 81, s45, but the owner
wanted 81, 900, and said he valued them
at So, 900 and didn't want to let them go
even at that price. An examination of
the assessors books showed that they
were assessed at only S45 each. The
Star says this case ought to make single
takers of all thinking persons who ex-
anime into it; and we think so, too.

Tax Commissioner Coleman on Taxa.
ton.

Recently, before New York legisla-
tive committee, Tax Commissioner Cole
man gave it as his opinion that the eff
feet of the taxation of personal proper
ty in this state had been to drive out of
this city, in one year, over $500, 600, 900
in capital represented in corporations
alone. AT least Is to 20 per cent. of
that amount represented the capital of
companies which had been doing bust
ness in this city. They had found it
more profitable, however, to wind up
their affairs in New York and reorgan-
ize in New Jersey. Excessive taxation
had driven them across the river AL
though organized in New Jersey, many
of these firms did business only in New
York city. This information was the
result of special investigation on the
part of Mr.. Coleman. Among those
firms the witness named the Thurber-
Whyland Co., Park & Tilford, the Gel
luloid Co, the United States Book Con-
Germ, Devoe Il Co. and the Hoffman
Cafe. The Hoffman cafe was capital
lied at 81, $50, 900 in New Jersey. This
fact greatly surprised the senators.
These concerns all received the same
protection from the fire and police
departments as those Incorporated in
this state They contributed in return
practically nothing to the government
of New York. They depend upon New
Jersey for nothing except exemption. 1t
was true that they We're obliged to pay
some money to the state of New Jersey.
The amounts, however, were compare
lively small. New Jersey did not COM
pei her corporations to make returns of
their property. Much of the other tes-
timony given by the commissioner has
been printed in the Standard heretofore;
but he made one new point against the
personal property tax. He said that it
was sapping at the roots of home life
in this city, for" said he, 1.-THE rates of
personal taxation are so obnoxious that
people instead of building fine resi-
dences engage suite of rooms in some
hotel and live at some club. A few
years ago hotels were but seven stories
high, now they are seventeen stories
high" The commissioner said that the
virtual abolition of the tax on personal
property would be of the greatest bene-
fit to the city of New York.

A Church That Wants no Exemption.

Rev A. =. McDiarmid, pastor of the
Tabernacle Baptist church, in Brook
Ign, addressed a meeting of Baptist
ministers the other day on the subject
of church taxes lie argued that the
Baptist church should not countenance
the exemption of state taxes which is
now in vogue. ''The church, in accept
ing an exemption from taxes" said he,
receives that which is wrested from the
Taxpayers. 1t is gift from the state
and tendency toward the state main
tenance of the church. a public. grant
each year from the state would be less
Objectionable, for then every thing
would be done openly, and the tax-pay-
ers would know just how much the diff
ferent churches We're receiving. A re-
ligion that can not pay its just taxes
should Ne booted out of the world"

The Famous Carlson Cottage.

The Carlson cottage at 1872 Ashland
avenue, Chicago. in which DIR. Cronin
was murdered May 4. 1889, is no long
err remunerative piece of property for
the owners. Even on the anniversary
OF the crime this year only an occa-

10 cents. The Carlson family reside
there. 1t is neatly furnished. A card
on which the following words are
printed in bold letters hangs in one of
the windows: Garrison cottage now
opened to exhibitions; admission 10

der the place has been visited by a
stream of townspeople and strangers
who have examined with deep interest
the spot where the doctor fell under

the number of visitors has decreased
and only occasionally now is a crowd
of gaping folks in front OF the O'Sulli-

over the country such a newspaper as
the Wheeling .INTELLIdENcRR's special

this gigantic paper can be formed
when we state that the paper rolls used
were 265 miles long. The 22+ columns
pasted together would reach from
Chicago to- London, a distance OF 4, 234
miles. Think of the brain power ex-
pended in filling these miles OF col

idea of what a potent power for bust
