it must be remembered that our great
Missouri scientist was too astute to
claim absolute certainty for his figures.
He even admits that the maximum
speed may possibly be as great as lVV
seconds. In the course of ten years. or
in 1893. he says in his article. the limit
can be definitely fixed. He also re-.
marked that he was quite sure that
eventually the maximum speed of trot-
ting and of running horses will differ
only by a few seconds.
In an article following the n quoted

had made a new calculation based on
mathematical rather than on graphical
methods. The maximum time thus OBJ

three seconds. The probable error Of
this deduction, according to the pro-
fessor's opinion. is not over four sec-

it is not likely that the running horse
will be able to surpass the trotter at the

Tho Mining ~Industria..

The mineral industry of the United
States grows apace. In 1880 the value
of its chief items at the place of produc-
ton exceeded $3.50. 600. 900. and though
the cash value of these products in 1891
was probably less than in 1891. owing to
the lower market prices Of most Of them
yet the quantities produced were. With
very few exceptions. much greater than
in any previous year.
The output of gold is increasing. but
in the absence of full returns we place
it in 1891 at approximately 10000 y
ounces, or $33 .225O. 900. an increase OF
312, 900 ounces.
The output of silver has increased
much more rapidly. and we estimate. in
the absence of full returns. that it
amounted in 1891 to 81. .OOO ounces.

SOLDIERS HOME NEWS.

EDITOR SrAR.-In my last commune
cation to the stat: | intimated to your
readers that 1 would give them a few
items in regard to the sanitary con-
ditions surrounding this institution.
In one respect it is a good deal like a
chinese laundry, inasmuch as China
men seem to enjoy the e%ffiuvia arising
from the soapsuds thrown out from
such places, for the nearer they can
throw it the better they seem to like it.
And so it is with this institution,
for the sewerage from the entire Home
has its outlet within twenty yards of
its walls. Every breeze watts the
%sickenlng and deadly odors through
every opening Of the entire building.
Especially when the wind is from the
south and west, the air throughout the
entire building becomes SO impregnated
that it can be cut with a cleaver, and
still the powers that be don't seem to
remedy the evil. w..
The Commander, Capt. W. v. Lucas
and Mrs. Lucas returned Wednesday
morning from the G. A. r. encamp-
ment and republican convention. Mrs.
Lucas while at the encampment was
honored by being elected vice-president
Of the w. r. G. of the department of
South Dakota. If it depended on this
scribe she would have gone a notch
higher, for she is capable of filling any
position within the gift of that organi-
zation. The boys are glad to see the
captain home as now they have some
one who can entertain Gen. Palmer,
the commander in chief of the G. A. r.,
as he deserves to be entertained. He
is %sojourning at the Home among the
old vets. Both he and other officers
think the Keely and Castle jag fac
tories are big things. Some Of the
graduates think so too-for the COM
panies interested.
There is considerable sickness among
the inmates at present. Engineer
Milledge returned to work Wednesday
morning after being sick for the past
twelve days. Sergt. Patrick Rainey
had charge of the engine while Mr..
Milledge was sick. BY the way, Pat
is quite IN engineer. We hope to see
hlm get out his papers and take charge
of the first steam boat that sails on
Fall River; but he IS happy now as he
was notified this week that he is to re-
ceive a pension Of $12 per month since
February, 1891.
There has been quite a number of
prominent visitors here the past week
and this scribe is going to get a regis
ter and request all visitors in the
future to inscribe their names thereon.
Your correspondent has been too
busy this week to CLEAN much news of
interest to your readers but he hopes
to see all his old friends and as many
new ones as please to call at his restaur-
ant on eighth street one door from
Chicago emu where they will be
welcomed and entertained by

In the debate on a bill before the
Senate of Virginia, last Wednesday,
in which it was proposed to make
Hon. John E. Massey, Superintend-
crt OF Public Instruction, an ex-offi-
clio member of the Boards of Visitors
of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Insti-
ute of Staunton. and OF the Univer-
s'+y of Virginia, the proposition was
opposed by Senator Flood, OF Apo
mattux, upon the ground that he
was untitled to hold these positions.
He charged that Mr.. Massey had i'm
properly drawn money for his ser
vices as member of the Board of
Education, and named instances on
which he preferred these charges.
Mr.. Massey cannot afford to allow
these charges to go unchallensed,
and it is in order for him to stand mp
and explain, and he doubtless will be
able to do so to the satisfaction OF
the people of Virginia. If he cannot
clear IN these charges he is unfit TO
re chief of the educational system OF
Virginia, and Mr.. Flood should go
farther and see TO it, that steps are
taken for ousting him from the posi-
ton he now occupies.

The Penalty of Usury.

vo!ving important principles of law.
1t seems that General Meen, the
plaintiff in the original suit, had bor-
rowed 100000 from Mr.. Dulaney, to
whom he had given deed of trust
on land to secure the borrowed
money Dulaney proceeded to sell
the land, and Meen sued out an in
junction to restrain the sale, on the
ground that the transaction was
usurious lover six per cent. interest
paid). The lower court decided that
Dulaney should lose the amount Of
interest usuriously charged, which
amounted to about $500. Appeal
was taken and the Court of Appeals
set that verdict aside and decreed
that the whole interest. amounting
10 about e35, COO, should he forfeited.
