Tho accounts that have appeared il

comprised the working of series OF
sums in addition, subtraction, multipli.
cation, division and square root. The
addition comprised six lines of five fig.
ures, the subtraction two lines of about
Is figures, and SO on, and of the two
square roots given him to find, one was
the root of number beginning with
81, 600, 900.
The whole mass of figures having been
read out to him, maud repeated them
from memory, and then proceeded to
work them out, which he did correctly
In about six minutes. While so engaged
he answered questions put to him by
persons in the room. He mutters figures
rapidly in an undertone while calculat-
ing, which seems to bear out the theory
that his mental process is based upon a
memory of the sound of the figures rath-
er than mental picture of their shapes.

When the Panama canal was first pro-
posed there was great cry about the
dangers courted in opening up such a
ditch" some extremists declaring that
the elves of millions of human beings
were at stake" This general alarm was
caused by the argument that the waters
on the Pacific side of the isthmus were
hundreds of feet higher than were those
on the Atlantic side and that the great
rush of waters to even up the difference
In the level Of the two oceans would
drown all southern North America and
most of Mexico and Yucatan.
Would be engineers and sensational
editors passed their opinions or wrote
editorials on the subject. 1t now tran
spires, as o result Of actual survey, that
tho Atlantic and not tho Pacific Is the
higher Of the two oceans and that in
place Of the difference being hundreds of
feet, as had been affirmed, the surface Of
the water on the east side of the isthmus
is exactly o. feet higher than it is on the
western side.-Philadelphia Press.

The rocks, after an absence Of some
years-how many we cannot really COM
NIT ourselves to say--have returned to
kensington gardens and established n
furnishing little colony Of some II nests
in the trees on the west side of the
broad walk, between the old banGueting
hall and the Bayswater road. 1t is Gu
rious that the bird population of London
seems still to be undergoing process of
change, some species being largely on
the increase, while others are decreasing
In numbers, or have quite recently dis
appeared. The wood pigeons afford the
most noticeable example of increase in
numbers, as they are now fully estab-
lished, not only in the parks, but also in
many of the squares which have trees
suitable for them to build in, and they
have extended their range well within
the city boundary.
They may always be seen in Palace
yard, Westminster, and for the fourth
year in succession pair are nesting in
tho elm tree over the fountain at the end
Of Great George street. Blackbirds and
thrushes, though by no means SO notice
able as the pigeons, are certainly on the
increase in the parks, owing, no doubt,
in great measure to the fact that many
Enclosures planted with shrubs have
been mado of late years. They are far
from uncommon. Indeed one morning
not long since wo saw no less than five
cock blackbirds engaged in tussle I'M
der tho trees near the flower walk in
Kensington gardens. Tits of two species
the great tit and the blue tit-have
lately been largely on the increase in
Kensington gardens.-London Saturday

Less than 80 years ago there was really
no postal system in this country. Pre-
ious to is47 the mails were carried by
private firms, and rates varied according
to distance. Carriers often travelled on
foot or horseback, and the progress was
slow. In is48 some Of the post offices
issued stamps Of their own, called PRO
visional issues" The adhesive stamp
was first used In this country in 1s47,
and prepayment was made compulsory
In 1856. In 1888 tho stamp containing
the head Of Andrew jackson was issued,
and from then until 1885 the style
adopted contained the profiles of presi-
dents Of the United States.-Public Opin-

btth
However we may differ from State
Senator john Pilllng upon some politi
cal questions. we have always given
him credit for Integrity OF purpose and
sincerity OF utterance; and when We
agree with such q man 1t gives VI
pleasure to quote him. The Evening
Journal OF the 18th instant publishes
at length what the Senator said In or
interview with its reporter in reRart
to the financial situation.
Among other things. Senator PHI
ing said, THE present situation, tina
OF etringency In tho money market
was brought aboutmore by imaginary
troubles than anything else"
| Farther on he saya: Circulation Ol
money In the channels OF trade is JUS
as essential to healthy financial con
dition as circulation OF blood through
the arteries OF the body is TO the body
of man."
Every sensible, practical business
man knows this, but this is exactly
what the goldbngs deny. They say
we need very little money, and that
nearly all business Ia done by checks
anyhow. and the very paper that pub
fishes this interview strives to be fore
most in such nonsense.
But Senator Pilings frank and
hearty declaration In favor of both
gold and silver shows that the Sena.
tor bas a clear hend on that point.
When interroRated upon this point he
said:s Il believe In bimetallsm. We
have $3.50. 100000 worth OF uncoined
silver In the United States Treasury.
II know of a manufacturer In New
York. who, on last Friday, offered his
check for $4,000 silver dollars. He
could not get them to pay his help
The result was lie ordered six mills
stopped the following saturday night
The more currency we have the bet
ter. Il believe In the coinage system
this country enjoyed from the time oil
Its organization to 1873, when 1t was
repealed by fraud"
[ Sensible John Pilling. The inter
viewer got more true, sensible straight
forward talk than he exepeeted. He
was told In go many words. that the
old way Of coming both metals wal
the best way; and more than that, ht
was also told that the decentralization
oil silver was accomplished by fraud
We wonder what John Sherman and
his co-conspirators of that conference
committee in congress that perpetrated
that gigantic fraud would have had to
say could they have heard honest JohI
IPllling's indignant rebuke. Their ears
would certainly have tlngled even II
their sallow checks were too scared
to blush.
There Ia truly difference between
John Of ohio and John OF Delaware
although they both call themselves
Republicans.
The fact stated by Mr.. Pillihg that
the New York manufacturer could
not get silver enough to pay his hands
and had to shut down his mills in con.
sequence gives the flat lie to the oft
press that the people do not want and
will net take silver.

There has evidently been an Improve

Western States the drought has been
partially relieved.
The Iowa crop bulletin says:-"The

cannot be said OF other States in the

were 0,24 of an inch at Denver, Col,
