INTERESTING SCIENCE.

Of coursa olI science is more or less interest
ing to a mind not given over to 1rVolity. Gun
il is obvious that some scientific SUBJECTS arc
clothed with greater amount OF general III
terest than others. There is science when Is 50
abstiu,e that only the highly cultured Few
can appreciate its many good qualities. On the
other hand there is what is known as "pop-
Mar. science. which is within the comprehension
of such practical and not too learned bodies a.
the So.iety Of the Stlns.aus, one OF whose
lively meetings Bret IIarte has so faithfully
reported.
This apr0p0s of an announcement made by
n California scientist named Wheeler. IL Is
very interesting Indeed, it is calculated 20
arrest the attention Of all sorts Of people every
where. Mr. Wheeler reports, as result OF his
patient ard protracted studies. that the earth
one of these days is to reverse herself as II
were That is to say. the North Pole Is 10
become the South Pole and the South Pole the
North Pole This extraordinary and, so far as
is known unprecedented turn about VIII be
produced BY what Mr.. Wheeler calls " the third
principal motion of the earth" Kindly explain
inc further he remarks that every 2O,9O3 years
the globe thus conducts itself on account OF the
attraction which it has for its own magnetism.
A contributor to the result is the sun, which
strongly attracts one of the poles and repels
the other. Now, it inevitably happens because
OF this double attraction that once every 2O,9O3
years the poles change places. Mr. Wheeler
places all whom it may concern under an ad-
ditional obligation by impalting the statistical
information that the last time the earth was
taken this way was some 5000 years ago. at
the height of the glacial era, so that the next
disturbance will not be due for, say $4,000
years.
1t will be generally admitted that Mr.
Wheeler is interesting, and that the practical
bearing of what he says is only question OF
time-15, 600 years. 1t is obvious that his dis
covery is of direct and intense interest to the
North Pole exploration parties of the far future
The day is coming. unless Mr.. Wheeler is mis-
taken-and there is no reason to suspect that
he is, at least none that occurs to us at present
when q noble band of scientists pushing over
polar sea intent upon finding the North Pole
will become suddenly aware, perhaps just as
they have run it down and are preparing to-
label it, that it has given them the slip and
cut for the Antarctic country. The prospect
is discouraging it makes the North Pole adj
ditionaly tantalizng and goodness knows it
was sufficiently tantalizing before. All things
considered, perhaps it would have been fully as
well If Mr.. Wheeler had held his peace.

sor They will have majority in the coming
Cope,ol Assembly and there Is little doubt
that they will use their power to condemn the
teachings of the Union Seminary Professor.
"Thc Rams IIorn's' illustration OF dogiight
in flower garden will not trouble them Bet
,or tbov would answer even dogfght in
aower garden than that there should grow up
,borcin n miasmatic and poisonous plant which
would kill all life around it. They believe that
tbov arc engaged in holy war against false
din tfine: and their leaders arc stimulating the
valor of their followers with the inspiring cry,
Tbo sword of the Lord and Of Calvin"
In the meanwhile, the question OF revision
has almost entirely disappeared from vIe"
Tho conservatives want no revision at all, ana
tbc liberals want more than they will be able
to got out of the present movement. For these
rea.,ns there will be clear majority against
revision in the General Assembly, while at the
s,m, time there will be Ovcrtures from some
prcsbyteres for a short Greed. The attempt
TO make a generally satisfactory revision OF inc
Westminster Confession without touching any
of its doctrines was, in fact, doomed 10 failure
from the start for the demand for revision
came from men who objected to certain teach
inps in the Confession. IT is not Likely, now
ever. that new Creed will be adopted, as there
"a no unanimity of opinion on that question.
And. moreover, the settlement OF the Briggs
case will probably consume all the time OF
the General Assembly.

ARE Crops To BE SHORTY

The country Is confronted with really seri-
Gus misfortune if the crop reports of the Agri-
cultural Department are correct. 1t is only
Just to add that the latest of these reports is
not entirely credited by persons in the trade,
and that the yearly reports for the two previ-
Gus years were placed in doubt by the statement
of wheat in farmers hands issued by the same
officials last March. But il there is no error
in the crop reports the country cannot have
much old wheat to spare, and must face re-
marllably small crop this year 1t is extremely
important to know whether the returns can be
relied upon. Because of the general convic
ton that they are not entirely Trustworthy, the
country il liable to sustain severe losses and to
be placed in an embarrassing position before the
end of the next crop year.
This branch of the public service is one in
which improvement is desirable, and might be
accomplished without waiting for any action by
Congress, but there is some reason to fear that
reform backward is the only change thus far
OF late years the crop reports have been de-
cidcdly less accurate and regarded with less
confidence by the business world than in former
times, perhaps in part because the advancing
age and nfrmities Of the veteran statistician
Mr.. Dodge, threw most of the work and re-
sponsibiliy on others, and perhaps in part be-
cause his attachment to old methods, which he
had originated, prevented alterations which new
conditions had made desirable. IL may be that
there was somewhat too conservative adherence
10 agents and correspondents who had grown
careless or otherwise untrstworthy, and too
impatient resentment of all criticism as ii it
must have been inspired by improper or I'M
friendly motives Whatever the cause, it be-
came evident that the cotton estimates for the
last two or three years and the wheat estimates
and reports of the last two Yeas were far
from correct.
Much of the difficulty may be traced to a
cause which the Department cannot directly
control Within the last few years organiza-
tions of farmers in many agricultural States
have gone extensively into the business OF in
Huencine public opinion for the purpose OF Sc
curing better markets for foreign products.

Summer arrived with such suddenness on Thurs
day that in this neighborhood we could hardly
be said to have had any spring at all. The
transition from early April conditions to June
day is not altogether agreeable; in fact, no sudden
weather change can be. 1t was interesting to
jewellers in tho suburbs to note with what mar
vellous quicI1ness the apple trees responded TO
the call of summer. In day, almost in an hour
they were transformed from barren and practi-
caly leafess state into huge white and pink
bououets There are seventy kinds Of roses,
some one has sad land the apple blossom is the
prctticst of ALL Those who are Of this way of
thinking have unlimited opportunities or aesthetic
enjoyment just now, for in this neighborhood at
all events the apple trees are as full Of blossoms
~ they can hold. Their beauty might easily
furnish their excuse for being but they have be-
Sides the promise and the potency of untold
quantities of delicious and wholesome fruit. The
country is worth seeing at all times, but those
miss a vast deal who fail 10 500 it at the season
when it is just putting on its summer robes

Owing to a misinterpretation of the contents
Of a letter addressed by one of the leading
houses of Wall Street to the president OF the
Stock Exchange, false report was sent out
over the tickers to the effect that the iIrm IN
question had failed, with the result that there
was heavy break in the market. Curousi!
enough it appears to have been written at the
request Of several members OF the Exchange
for the purpose of setting at rest rumors all
ing the firm by an announcement that 1t was
perfectly solvent and prepared to meet all claims
whenever presented.

The changes in the playing rules promise to
reyolutionize baseball. Better games are beng
played, the contests are more even and e&cIt-
ING and the changes have brought about an
element of uncertainty which is the chief charm

Under the new order of things there are more
hating and baserunning and livelier fielding
and those arc the things that everybody want
ed. few callous critics, who never take
kindly to an innovation of any kind, have been

however, approves and applauds. :. The pitcher
had become an entirely to important factor

Monsignor Satolli's arrival in lIoboken yester-
day afternoon from Washington cannot fail TO
revive popular interest in the conflict between
Bishop Wigger, of the diocese of Newark, and
Father Corrigan, of the Church of Our Lady
Of Grace. The object of the Papal DelegatcS
visit to Ioboken is to bring about settlement
Of these differences between the Bishop and the
priest which have become source of scandal
during the last few months. But it is feared
that the efforts Of the Pentifs representative,
far from being crowned with success, will, on
the contrary tend to widen the unfortunate
breach between Father Corrgan and his Dioc
esan.

The Brooklyn Handicap, which takes place
tomorrow, may be REGARDED as the beginning
Of the legitimate racing season in the State OF
New-York. The close Of the pOolrooms and the
enactment OF the various measures destined to
relieve this particular branch OF sport of many
evils which have hitherto hampered its develop
ment and affected its credit cannot fail to add
70 the popularity of the turf and this, together
with the large amount of capital recently in
vested in racing stock, renders it probable that
the season of 1898 will prove one OF the most
brilliant on record.

At this time of year, when every
body is fretting about letters of credit
and all the other makeshifts to avoid
penury in foreign land, it occurs to
the mind unskilled in questions of
finance to wonder why we cannot have
one single international coin, which
would be good wherever it is spent,
says Kate Fields Washington. An en-
tire National currency is a boon re-
served for our grandchildren, but a
single gold coin of the value say of 50
and half would be an immense con-
venience to travellers. A moderate
sum in such coins would not be bur-
densome, and before leaving each coun-
try the National currency could be ex-
changed into them at the hotel Office
or the nearest shop without any fuss
and feathers whatever. Multiples of
such coin, to the extent of hundred
or more, would be easily portable, and
fractions of it would not be large
enough to cause serious embarrassment
b most travellers The amount of
time and trouble which a single inter.
national coin would save is almost in
calculable.
Passaic City record., 1893-06-03

Says the New York Sun: The re-
port of the Civil Service Commission
shows that women are going into civil
service in larger numbers than ever,
and that there is comparative decrease
in the number of men who are now en-
tering the executive departments.
There is no great reason to regret that
such is the case. The pay that the
average Government clerk receives is
by no means enormous for man of
ability, while the work is of kind that
most women can do easily and well. A
department clerkship ought not to
tempt any young man of enterprise
and talent, but many such have buried
both qualities in the dispiriting routine
of such a career.
