The leading article i'll the Septem-
Der number of The Forum is on ''The
Alarming Proportion of Venal Vot-
ers," by Prof. John ]. McCook, who
has made a careful investigation to
ascertain the precise proportion of
purchasable votes in both rural and
urban communities in Connecticut.
This, we believe, is the first and GER
tainly the most thorough effort to
ascertain what nationalities contrib
ute most to venality and what spec
ial influences have made so large a
number of voters purchasable. In a
subsequent article, in the October
number of the Forum, Prof. McCook
will tell the precise method by which
this venal vote is "handled," and
suggest remedies. We believe that
there has been no more important
study than this, made for any period
icaI in recent years.

In the evening there was general
Republican jolification. A large bon
fire of oil barrels, rosin, tar, etc. was
kindled on Congress street. The
torches were brought out and with
MorrisvilIe and Hyde Park bands in
line, a procession paraded the streets.
Representative-elect Cheney was
visited. He replied briefly and three
rousing cheers were given. Congress
man Powers residence was visited
and after selections by the band, the
Judge made a very neat speech from
his veranda, which was followed up
by three rousing cheers from the
crowd for Congressman Powers. The
procession returned to The Randall

Dehorning cattle has long been
practiced by Western cattle owners,
and it is now the usual custom to re-
move the horns to prevent the strong
er ones from injuring the weaker.
II una nj tnrians have objected to the
work, and a few cattle owners have
claimed that it injured the flow of
milk and the making of beef. Bulle-
tin 10 of the Minnesota station gives
the results of experiments with horn
ed and dehorned cattle. The horns
of half the cattle were sawed off, and
pine tar bandaged over the place.
For the first three days after the OPP
Grafton the dehorned COWS lost three
per cent in butter and fat and seven
per cent in milk flow. But this was
only temporary. In short time the
cows recovered their normal condi-
ton, and the milk flow and fat con-
tents were as large as ever. Owing
to the lack of horns they led more
quiet life after that, and it is judged
that the milk flow and butter yield
has been materially increased by the
operation.-American Cultivator.

voting no marking is required, and
for the benefit largely of the blind

Where the blanket ballot is in use
the names of the candidates of all
parties are printed on one sheet, the
voter making his choice with cross.
Many States follow the original Aus

of candidates alphabetically. This
is the case in Massachusetts, Califor-
mia, Kentucky, Montana, Minnesota,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont,
Washington and Wyoming. In the
other ballot-reform States the blanket
ballot has the names grouped by par
ties, and the straight" voter marks
his cross at the head of the ticket he
selects. The man who wants to
scratch marks the squares opposite
the names of the various candidates.
The polling arrangements differ
materially and the time allowed
voters in compartments is Strangely

Earthguakc-wayes.

While we usually think of earth
quakes as taking place on land, they
do, indeed, occur with equal devasta-
tion in the ocean. That point in the
earth at which the explosion or
breaking takes place is called the
earthquake-focus; and from it what
are known as earthquake-waves pass
to the surface. What do these earth.
quakc-waves resemble? Take Il basin
full of water and dipa glass tube in
it. Blow through the. .tuble and you
will see bubbles rising to the surface
and circular waves passing out. The
disturbance at the bottom of the
basin corresponds with the explosion
or swapping of the crust at the earth-
quake-focus, with this difference that
instead of water-waves, the latter
produces earth-waves. passing through

These are called carthquake-waves.
They are the largest known waves,
and are caused by the heaving and
rocking of the bed of the sea. In
deep water such waves are not very
high, but their motion extends far
down into the ocean. When they
reach shallower water, however, they
heap up like gigantic wall, and,
with force more terrible than fire
or sword, they sweep on, bearing de-
struction with them. Huge ships are

In Greece the Australian system is

In the polling place there are ranged
in a row ballot-boXes equal in num-

placed to the right and the other to

two. A funnel about ten inches long
and five inches in diameter projects
at a slight upward angle from the
front of the box. After the voter
