The 'Shortstory,' as Mr.. Brander
Matthews, whose humor dwells
somewhat in conceits, loves to call
it, is made the subject of q review
to itself in the current atlantic.
The reviewer groups fifteen newly
harvested sheaves in this field, and
by no means exhausts the yearly crop
at that. At least two dozen vol
umes of short stories have been
issued in the last twelvemonth, and
the weary reviewer is nowadays too
well aware that every fortnight sees
him confronted with the waking
and walking ghost Of his past mag
azine reading in o new collection of
short stories BY some familiar hand.
Ten, even FIVE years ago, such
volumes fell fat and were published
chiefly to I'LL out an authors work.
Hawthorne's Tales were, rs he
wofully said, twice told,' because
he could persuade no one to read
them even once. Beyond saying
that we do the short story better
than any other nation-which is
true, and has been said before-the
atlantic reviewer casts little light
on the cause and origin of this new
phenomenon in literature. The
short story-teller is, as the Atlantic
points out, apt to DO free of local
color-seven of the fifteen cited be-
ing of mo mans land and only
the four Southerners speaking q
speech which betrays them. The
short story-teller has no bent ethi-
cal or otherwise, and the entire le-
gion of them simply reverse Can
niug's knife-grinder Story, God
bless you, I've none to tell, SIR
and have naught else.
Yet the appetite for the short
story is quite as remarkable as its
existence. Besides the fortnightly
volume which sells. and sometimes,
as in the case of Miss Wilkins, wins
an international reputation over
night. thanks to an international
critic, Mr.. Lowell, there is maya
zine like Romance, which devotes
itself every month to a cluster of
short stories, new and old, by land
and sea, from many lands, of many
tongues. But few short years ago
no New York publisher would have
deemed it safe to publish, as the
Romance Publishing Company now
does, in that city, a.magaxine given
exclusively to this one form Of lit
erature, erst so cloying and now so
sought.
The store of short stories is, Of
course, Q rich one. All countries
have their short stories. They ex-
ist even in Chinese and Arabic and
are just appearing in the renais-
sance of Hindoo fiction centering
ut Lucknow. 4 magazine which
publishes two hundred . year must
travel far afeld. Its mere presence,
however, il proof of . demand
whose existence keen literary OBJ
servers were but recently doubling.

WHY Sixty MINUTES Make -
HoUR.-Why il the hour divided
into sixty minutes, each minute into
sixty seconds, etc. ? Simply and
solely because in Babylonia there
existed, BY the side Of the decimal
system OF notation, another system,
the sexigesimal which counted By
sixties. Why that number should
have been chosen il clear enough,
but ii speaks well for the practical
sense Of those ancient Babylonian
merchants.
There il no number which has so
many divisors a. sixty. The Baby
lonians divided the SUMS daily jour-
ney into twenty-four parasangs or
720 stadia. Each parasang or hour
was subdiyided into sixty minutes.
A parasang il about German mile
and the Babylonian astronomers
compared the progress made BY the
sun during one hour at the time of
the equinox to the progress made
by good walker during the same
time, both accomplishing one para
sang.
The whole course Of the sun du-
ring the twenty-four eqninoctial
hours was fixed at twenty-four par
asangs, or 720 stadia, or $50 de-
srees. This system was handed on
to the Greeks, and Hipparchus, the
Greek philosopher, who lived about
$50 b. c., introduced the Babylo-
liam hour in Europe.
Ptolemy, who wrote about $50
A. d., whose name still lives in
that of the Ptolemic system of as
tronomy, gave still wider currency
to the Babylonian way of reckon
ing time.
1t was carried along on the quiet
stream of traditional knowledge
through the middle ages, and,
strange to say, it sailed down safely
over the Niagara of the French
Revolution. For the French, when
revolutioEizing weights, measures,
coins and dates, and subjecting all
to the decimal system of reckoning,
were induced by some unexplained
motive to respect our clocks and
watches and allow our dials to re-
main sexagesimal, that is, Babylo-
nian, each hour consisting of sixty
minutes.
Here You see again the wonder
full conference of the world and how
what we call knowledge is the re-
suit of an unkroken tradition of a
teaching descending from father to
son. Not more than about one
hundred arms would reach from us
to the builders of the palaces of
Babylon and enable us to shake
hands with the founders of the old
est pyramids. -Science Siftings.

He Makes A Nonsensical Attack
on Gov. Flower.
New YORK, Oct. ga large number
of Knights of Labor and their sympathiz-
erS, both men and women, assembled
at the Peoples theater tonight at
the benefit performance rendered
to James Hughes, the Knight of
Labor imprisoned for eXtortion at Roch-
ester, in aid of the appeal Ill his case.
Addresses were made by General Mas
ter Workman L. V. Powderly, and the
Knights of Labor General Treasurer
James A. Wright. The latter, who was
the first speaker, gave history of the
Hughes case, and said: What are we
going to do about it? Well, the exec
utive board of 231 will remain in
session until after election. We are
going to issue documents showing how
laboring men have been treated by the
Democratic governors of Pennsylvania,
Tennessee and New York. We will
man Harrity aud his party. The
Knights of Labor is political organi-
cation this year, as the Democratic
party will learn on election day."
General Master Workman Powderly
concluded the evening programme with
bitter attack upon Gov. Flower, Chair
man Harrity ana the Democratic party.
IF every workingman felt as l do
over this conduct of the government of
New York, such man as Flower would
never again sit in the executive chair at
Albany. Those who were instrumental
in putting Hughes into felon's cell
claim that their party is the party of the
poor, of the workingmen and of the
common people. The Democratic party
cannot fool US any LONGER.
''lt you workingmen do your duty,
you will teach the Democratic party
that they must treat you as men and
American citizens when you ask justice.
You will teach Flower that you are
deserving people and must not be in
suited and scorned. You will teach men
like Harrity that you are men. of intel
ligence and can't be deluded into voting
for your enemies. cannot say one good
word for the Democratic party, and
am unable to understand how any
workingman can vote for its candi-
dates" :
Mr.. Powderly was frequently and
loudly applauded for his vigorous de-
nunciation of the Democratic party. 81

Indications Of Another Outbreak

MISSoULA, Mont, Oct. 23.-As soon
as the outbreak in the Ceur d'Alene
mines became general. the country was
put under martial law, and this seemed
to have the effect of queiling the excite
ment, but, although the leaders of the
miners union have been imprisoned,
there is a prospect OF guerrilla war
that will not be easily stamped out.
Gem, the camp at which the destroyed
Frisco mill was located, promises to be
again selected for the firing of the first
shot. The undergraduates of the pro-
lection has stirred the union men to re-
newed boldness. but as yet they
have confined themselves to writing
threatening letters to prominent nom
union men, and to the posting of IN
cendiary notes. George w. Thompson,
a prominent nOn-uniOn leader of Gem,
was seen by GLOBE correspondent to-
day, and i'll reply to an inquiry he said:

fore the last outbreak. and all that is

ger is SO imminent that the night guard
