Why Lost People Walk in Circles.

The fact that people lost on a
desert or in a forest invariably walk
in a circle is due to a slight in
equality in the length of the legs.
Careful measurements of a series
of skeletons have shown that only
10 per cent had the lower limbs
equal in length; 80 per cent had
the right limb longer than the lett,
while in the other IS per cent the
left leg was the longer. The result
of one limb being longer than the
other will naturally be that a per-
son will, unconsciouly, take Ion
ger step with the longer limb, and
Consequently will trend to the
right or to the left, according as
the left or right leg is the longer,
less the tendency to deviation ID
corrected by the eye.
The left leg being more frequent
ly the longer, as evidenced oy
measurement of the skeleton, the
inclination should take place more
frequently to the right than to the
left, and this conclusion is quite
borne out by observations made
on a number of persons when walk
ing blindfolded. Further, on meas
urement of the arms, it is found
that in rs per cent the right arm IS
longer than the left, while in "a
per cent the left arm is the longer,
showing that considerable major
ity of persons are right-handed and
left-handed, The inequality IN the
length of the limbs is not conhned
to any particular sex or race, but
seems to be universal in all respects.

How Thew Stand in the South.

The single standard advocates
would have us believe that the
South is going back to the ranks
of monometallism and that the
great fight for bimetallic coinage
will be waged by handful OF
disgruntled politicians from the
Rocky Mountain states alone. We
are, however, better informed OF the
true status of affairs at the South:
Having had advices from several OF
the southern states recently we are
glad to inform our readers that the
financial question is the one most
studied there, and that almost to
man the people of the South favor
bimetallism. They are no more
deceived as to why the existing
Sherman act is ineffective than are
the people of the West. They well
know that when the United States
came into the market to purchase
silver it was forced to hold the
prices down after the bear element
here and abroad fixed the price.
The southern people are no more
deceived by the tricks OF the mono
metallists than are the people OF
the West.
The fact is that Wall street is
alarmed. They see that the power
! is about to pass from their hands
forever and they are making a final
struggle in the hope that the bime-
tallic dawn which they see in the
horizon is only a rift in the clouds,
which will soon disappear. They
are alarmed at the increasing un-
easiness in the East and abroad.
They lose sight of a familiar face
and soon find the same face in the
front ranks of the bimetallic host.
AS the days go by they are becom-
ing weary and desperate, but their
unholy regime is about over, and
they who have worshipped the gol-
den calf will soon see the people
freed from their avaricious grasp,
and they will be compelled to en-
ter into honest competition with
honest men. With the West and
the South for bimetallism and
the East gradually arousing from
it's lethargy, the era of the gold-bug
will soon pass into history.-The
Northwest Mining Review.

or silver legal tender, but gold or
silver COIN. Since congress only
may COIN money and the states are
prohibited from doing so, it follows
the COIN a state may make legal
tender is the coin authorized by
congress. The gold and silver coin
of the United States are already
legal tender under the acts author
izing their coinage. Therefore an
act of the state legislature to the
same effect would be superAuous.
"There is but one way in which
the state legislature can utilize un-
coined silver bullion as money. Ii
congress shall repeal the ten pei
cent tax on the circulation OF prl'
vate banks the legislature might
authorize silver bullion under prop
er regulations to be held as bank
reserves to secure their circulation.
"If congress should destroy the
legal tender quality of the standard
dollar it would become a grave
question whether state legislatures
might authorize silver bullion un.
der proper regulations to be he'd
as bank reserves to secure theli
circulation.
eff congress should destroy the
legal tender quality of the standard
dollar it would become a grave
question whether state legislatures
might not, in spite of congress
make them legal tender for every
purpose within the several states
Although congress might demone
tie them, yet would they not remain
silver coin within the meaning Q
the constitution, and are not states
permitted by necessary implication
under the constitution to make sll
yer coin-coined by authority o
congress-legal tender, althougl
congress should repeal the act b.
which they became such?"

A Wonderful. Forgery.

"My father" said an eastern
banker at Chicago, was one OF the
attorneys in the Rathbone case at
Buffalo. When it comes to big and
complicated forgeries, that case
possesses some features which keep
the memory of it alive. Rathbone
was a builder. Many of the old
structures now standing, especially
on Main street, in the city of Buf-
falo, were put up by him. In the
course of his operations, which
were very extensive for that period,
Rathbone fell in need Of money.
He was pushing, energetic man,
and the leading citizens OF Buffalo
didn't want to see him go to the
wall. Ten or dozen of them agreed
to 90 on note together for him.
The amount was to be $4,000 OF
something like that. Kathbone
claimed that amount would carry
him over, and the citizens thought
they would risk that much as
matter of public spirit. Instead @
contenting himself with a single
note, Rathbone secretly prepared
about ten. He went to the endors
ers singly and got each one to sign
different note, on the supposltlor
that it was the only one. This gave
him one genuine signature On each
of the ten notes. He forged the
other signatures, so that he had ten
notes, each bearing all of the ten o.
twelve names. He raised by the
notes about 100000, instead OF
one-tenth of that sum, and then the
discovery came. The forgery was
so we'll done that some Of the sign
ers couldn't tell which was the gen
uine signature. They could testify
that they only signed their names
once, and that was all. The testl
mory was very unsatisfactory ant
confusing, but Rathbone was con
victed on general principles an(
sent to the penitentiary. After h
got out he went to New York city
i became much-respected buslnes
man and was straight till be died.

The Chinese Army.

The Chinese army is large. Its
ordinary fighting strength IS about
one million two hundred thousand
fighting men, though it is not pos
sible to make an estimate with ac-
curacy. Each province supports
it's own military force, for keeping
order, for the protection of its own
territory, and for national defense
in time of need. In time of peace the
regiments are skeletonized. Cor
ruption pervades the service, as 1t
does every branch of public affairs
in that country. Officers give the
soldiers indefinite leave and pocket
their pay. When occasion for tight
ing arises the battalions are hastily
flied in with men undisciplined and
unprepared. Not long ago there
was trouble in Formosa and re-
cruits were inveigled on board ship
by false pretense. When they
found out whittier they were golne

Economies Wrought by Chemistry,

Chemists turn wrought iron into

the shavings of the blacksmith shop
into Prussian blue, fusel oil into
oil of apples and pears: the drain
age of COW houses into fashionable
perfumery, beggars' rags into new
pilot-coats, cesspool filth into am
monia, and tar-waste into anime
dyes and saccharine. In Paris they
first utilize rats to clear the flesh
from the bones of carcasses, then
kill the rats, use up their fur tor

their thigh-bones for tooth picks
and their tendons and bones to1

A Census of Animals.

The most populous horse coun-
try in the world is Russia, in Eu-
rope. It has 100000 of horses.
The United States comes next, with
a horse population of more than
sixteen millions. In proportion to
the number of inhabitants the
United States is far richer in horses
than Russia. But in that proper
ton the United States is in turn
far surpassed by the Argentine Re-
public, where, according to the
latest accessible figures, there are a
few more horses than people. .
The countries of Western and
Southern Europe are thinly popu-
lated with horses, compared with
the American Continent and Rus
sia. Italy, with human popula-
ton of more than 100000, has
only 10000 horses, but has al,
most twice as many mules and
donkeys as horses. Spain has only
a few more than 100000 horses,
or about one horse to every 90 peo-
pie. Most of the cavaliers" OF
Spain ride. on donkeys. The United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land has only 100000 horses.
The United States is the most
populous country in the world. 1t
is also, by many millions, the most
populous pig country, possessing
over 46,OO0,000 of swine. There Is
also a larger proportion of pigs to
the human population than in any
other country-larger even than IN
Ireland, country which is popu
larly, but mistakenly supposed to
be the Utopia of the pig. The
country of the sheep, par excel
lence, is Australia.
On that continent there are a few
more than 100000 people, but
there are 100000 sheep-that is
to say, 20 sheep to every man
woman and child. In the Unitec
States we have only about 47,OOO,
900 sheep, which, though a large
sheep population than that OF an.
other country except Australia ant
the Argentine Republic, is not pro
portionately so great a number Al
several other countries possess
British India has more cattle thai
any other country, but the Unlte(
States has almost as many-up
ward of 100000.
However, the Argentine Repub
lie again leads in cattle In proper
ton to human beings. If the cat
tie in Argentina were divided equal
ly among the people, every man
woman and child would have fiv
cattle to take care of, and ther
would be enough left to give on
additional critter each to almost
million of the people. Considere
from the point of view Of farm an
mails, the Argentine Republic l
probably the most important cour
trv in the world.
