EARTH'S QUEER BLANKET.

1t Is Made OF Dust, and Protects Us From
the Cold OF Spaces.
We are apt to think of the dust that
the air contains in greater or less guam
titles as simply an annoyance, and
perhaps source Of disease; but the re-
searches of John Aitlzen, the Scottish
investigator, are beginning to reveal at
mospheric dust to us in new lights. Mr..
Aitllin has recently made known the re-
suits of his observations during 1890,
which are supplementary to those made
in 1889.
1t appears that when the air is very
thick and haZy it may contain floating
dust particles to the number of from
ten thousand to twenty thousand in
every cubic centimeter, while cubic
centimeter of very clear air may contain
only from a dozen up to few hundred
particles.
Mr.. Atkins observations indicate
that there is a relation between the
quantity of dust and the temperature
of the air. A great amount of dust, he
thinks, increases the temperature in the
daytime, and checks the fall of temper
ature at night.
The reason apparently is that the
presence of dust serves as an obstrua-
ton to the free radiation of heat
through the air. The sunbeams pass
through very pure, clear air without
lending much heat to it, and at night
the heat received by the ground during
the day rerdily escapes through the
same air, but if the atmosphere is
heavily laden with dust, the suns rays
are partially arrested by the particles
which, becoming heated, in turn warm
the air, and in like manner heat radi-
ated from the earth at night is retained
il the hazy layers of air in contact with
its surface.
Without its atmosphere, says the
Youths Companion, which serves as a
coVcrlet to protect it against the fear
FIJI cold of space, the surface of the
earth would be frozen like that of the
airlcss moon. But Mr.. Athens re-
searches seem to show that the beauti-
ful atmospheric blanket wrapped round
our planet varies in its power to retain
heat in proportion to the amount of
dust particles that it contains

Sheep as Beasts of Burden.

Sheep arc not commonly regarded as
uJeful rs beasts of burden, but in a
large part of northwest India thousands
OF sheep carry for many miles the com
moditics that are purchased by the sale
OF their own wool. The mountain
p..ths among the foothills of the Him
ayas are SO precipitous that the
sheep, more surcfooted than larger
b easta, are preferred as burden carriers.
The load for each sheep is from sixteen
to twenty pounds. The sheep a"c
driven from village to village, with the
wool still growing, and in each town
the farmer shears as much wool as he
can sell there, and loads the sheep with
the grain which he receives in ex-
change. After his flock has been
sheared he turns it toward home, each
sheep having on its back small bag
containing the purchased grain.

The municipal elections as well as
the election of supervisors in the State
of New York are d terrible rebuke to
David B. Hill anu his dirty political
methods. In Duchess county, where
Senator Osborne's seat was stolen and
where the Democrats had a majority
of ten to eight on the old board of
supervisors, the situation was reversed
and the Republicans now have about
the same majority. The Republicans
have gained about 100 supervisors in
the state and are largely in the ma
jority. In municipal elections there
have been some wonderful changes.
A numb = { cities that were strongly
Democrat retofore, have given large
Republican rites. The political
pirate has heal. thing drop.

The abuse of the bounty law in Cho-
team county, and the penalty inflicted
for so doing, should be a warning to
those who would seek to take advan-
tage Of the weak points in its construc-
ton for profit and gain. The arrest
and conviction of men who were chosen
to guard the interests of the people
and who have held important positions
in the county, is as humiliating as it is
surprising. The names of those con
victed and the sentences given are as
follows: James NJ. Arnoux, one year;
John Ii. Wilson, two years; Edmund
+. Burke, four years; Peter Devaney,
one year. Inc testimony produced

whatever i'll the shape Of skins, and
the money divided equally. To what
extent the state has been robbed in
this is difficult To ascertain.

The Springer wool bill was intro

it is not probable that it will become a

it will, nevertheless, be pushed 10 the
front and will be fully discussed.-In-

Certainly not. Yet it costs the
country $1,000 a day while the Demo-
cratic party is endeavoring to make a
little political capital. The Democracy

The resolution to consider the Bland
bill passed the house last week by a
vote of 100 to 81. Three days have
been set aside for debate on the bill,
commencing on the 22d inst. While
the vote indicates the passage of the
bill, it is by no means conclusive. The
anti-free-coinage Democrats are max
ing every effort to defeat the measure,
believing that it will wreck the party
in the coming elections.

THE TARIFF DEBATE.

1t was very fitting and proper that i'll
opening the tariff discussion in the
house the Democracy should be repre-
scented by Il member from the South
Mr.. McMillin of Tennessee. Free trade
in America is distinctly of Southern
origin, and it has been nurtured and
sustained by that section notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Southern states
have made more progress in the devel-
opment of their resources in the past
twenty-five years under protection than
was made in a century before. While
there are many Southerners willing to
concede this and while there are indi-
cations that the solid south will break
on this question in a few years, there
still exists the old adhesion to the
aristocracy and states rights fallacy Of
which McMillin is a fair type. To him
the dignity If labor and the progress
of the masses is a delusion. He is still
chained to the old system which means
retrogression, inertia and decay. That
the Northern Democracy should DO
down to McMillin and other Southern
leaders Is not strange. The tail cannot
wag the dog. The South is dominant
in the rarty and the Northern wing
must hey its behests now as it al
ways ha in the past.
McAlil MS speech was of the usual
Bourbon character-composed largely
of falsehood, misrepresentation and
denunciation. The Mckinley law has
been in operation little over a year,
yet Mr.. McNlillin was unable to point
out an instance where it had worked a
hardship to my class or section of the
United States, Notwithstanding Demo
cratic prophecy to the contrary. II
has hurt England and this fact may
cause a pang Of sorrow in the heart of
the Tennesseean. He, like the bal
ance of his party, which is a negative
force, complains of what the law has
not done, and in every instance argues
from n p~rejudicial and partisan stand
point. He asks: "The tariff law now
has been in operation for a veal and
five months. Where are the beneficial
effects that were to follow from it?"
The benefits of the Mckinley law can-
not be estimated. 1t has stimulated
the manufacture of WOODEN goods,
thereby giving employment to more
labor; it has caused the establishment
of pearl button manufactures, which
employ labor and which turn out as
good an article as can be obtained
abroad, and at Il less price; it has i'll
augurated the manufacture of tin OH
Il scale that will soon make this country
Independent of England; it has saved
woolgrowers from ruinious competition
with the cheaply grown wool of semi
civilized countries; its reciprocity fea-
lures has opened up a new and rapidly
growing market for breadstuh in the
South American Republics, without
endangering the protective system,
thereby benefiting the farmers; it has
maintained the standard Of American
wages and opened new for the
employment Of labor. Yet, it is too
soon to reap the full benefits Of the
law. Everdy day proves the wisdom
of its author, who is an American, in
stead of an ally of Great Britain.
