anarchists. If you can devise some scheme for compelling this scum of Europe which has been fioated to our shores to spread out over the country where men are needed, well and good. So long as they are herded in our cities they are constant menace to our peace and health"
 ''That's so," said Cadley.
 "Yet you have been taking an active interest in the Chinese Equal Rights league" /" objected Crobein, land that is in opposition to the restriction of i'm migration" l.
 Because I want to see fair play and because believe that the Ctinaman, with equal rights, would make as good a citizen as the average foreigner who comes to this country. We have never given the Chinaman a chance; he Is not allowed the privilege of citizenship; he does not get a fair show in the courts, and he is made to feel in every way possible that he belongs to a different order of beings from the rest of the world-in fact that he is not human. Police sta- tistics show that the percentage of crime is smaller among the Chinese than among any other of our various foreign population. A Chinaman is very rarely a charge on the state either as criminal, a pauper or lunatic They are no more vicious than any other nationality. There is great talk about the vice in Mott street, but it Is not marker alongside of Mulberry Bend. Chinamcn contract what are known as common law marriages with women, but they treat the women well and are generally homogeneous; while in Mulberry Bend and up in Lit tie Italy, In Harlem, there are hundreds of case3 of one woman living openly with two or three men or one man lv- ing with two or three women. The Chinamen are inveterate gamblers, but so are the Italians; the difference Is that the Chinaman gambles, loses or wins, as the case may be, and goes about his business, while the Italiau gambling is more frequently than not ended by thrust of stilleto. Fur. thermore, the cry about Chinese cheap labor is the veriest rot. John Chinaman

acrimonious discussion. Ever since Deacon Mackenzie, who is an old-fash- toned Scotch Calvinist, called Dick Fletcher "blithering idiot" because that youth proclaimed disbelief in in- fant damnation, and on the same even- ing Col. Bellud told links that "a mug wump, sir, Is a creature who hasn't courage enough to belong to one party nor honesty enough to belong to the other; he is political hypocrite, sir, a. a" and there the colonel had an ap- oplectic stroke and we decided to bar politics.
 I was, therefore, surprised when I dropped in the other evening to find Crobein, Goldbugge and Galley deep in a discussion of the question of restrict ing immigration.
 "It would be little short of criminal" Crobein was saying as I entered. We have hundreds of thousands of acres of land unsettled, our factories are in- creasing, our mines are developing. We want men, and, aside from the great humanitarian idea of this coun- try, which is to afford refuge and 8 home for the oppressed of all nations, we need them to develop our resources"
 'Of course we do," chimed in Galley.
 Quite so," nssented Goldbugge, "but experience teaches that the class of people who have been constituting the bulk of our immigrants for the past few years are not engaged in the busi- ness of developing our resources to any extent. There has been a small per centage of sturdy Scandinavians who have gone to farming in the northwest; a few English and thrifty Germans who have gone into our factories; some Irish, who make good laborers, police men and aldermen, but with them have come the Russian and Polish Jews, the worst class of Italians, the Bohemians and Hungarians of the lowest grade. They have settled in our cities, and in stead of developing our resources they have been developing disease and crime. I admit that we want farm laborers and factory operatives and mechanics. We do not want paupers, criminals and

4 Crowded Spot.

The Manderaggio, which is one of the quarters of Yalette, the capital of the Island of Malta. is one of the most crowded spots on earth. In Valette itself the proportion is 75,0o0 to the square mile, but in the Manderaggio a,544 peo- pie dwell on a surface two acres and a half in extent, and this gives no less than 636, ,O00 to the square mile, or i, 017.6 to the acre.

Watches and Vital Magnets.

It is frequently claimed that personal magnetism of man has great influence on the time movements of watch which he carries. In confirmation of this there is cited from the Electrical Review case where an employe in 8 watch factory, man of strong per sonal magnetism, had for many years strange experiences with his watch. As soon as he had worn watch for some time 1t began to run in the most freak ish way. It lost or gained, not so many seconds or minutes in a day, as is the case with poor watches, but one day gained an hour and the next day lost one. Even the most expensive chronom- eter became unreliable if the man men, tioned. were it. If another took it up it kept time very well.

DAYS FOUR HOURS LONG.

That Was Some Time Ago, and the Earth
 Travelled Much Faster.
 To-day is longer than yesterday; to- morrow will be longer than to-day.
 The difference is so small that even in the course of ages it can hardly be said to have been distinctly established by observation, says The Story of the Heavens. We do not pretend to say how many centuries have elapsed since the day was even one second shorter than it is at present.; but centuries are not the units which we may employ in tidal evolution. A million years ago it is quite probable that the divergence of the length of the day from the present value may have been very considerable. Let us take a glance back into the pro- found depths of time past and see what the tides have to tell us If the present order of things has lasted the day must have been shorter and shorter the far ther we look back into the dim past. The day is now twenty-four hours; it was once six hours. How much farther can we go? Once the six hours is past we begin to approach a limit which must
 at some point bound our prospect. The shorter the day the more is the earth bulged at the equator; the more the
 earth is bulged at the equator the greater is the strain put upon the
 materials of the earth by the centrifu- gal force of its rotation. If the earth \ were to go too fast it would be unable
 to cohere together; it would separate 1 into pieces just as a grindstone driven
 too rapidly is rent asunder with vio-
 lence. Here, therefore, we discern in
 the remote past barrier which stops the present argument. There is a cer-
 tain critical velocity which is the great
 est that the earth could bear without risk of rupture, but the exact amount
 of that velocity is Q question not very
 easy to answer. It depends upon the | nature of the materials of the earth; 1t depends upon the, temperature; it de- pends upon the effect of pressure, and on other details not accurately known
 to us. An estimate of the critical ve-
 locity has, however, been made, and it has been shown that the shortest period of rotation which the earth could
 have, without flying into pieces, is
 about three or four hours. The doc urine of tidal evolution has thus con
 ducted us to the conclusion that, at
 some inconceivably remote epoch, the
 earth was spinning round it's axis in
 a period approximating to three or six ! hOrrS
