OCEAN CURRENTS EXPLAINED.
Discovery Which Shows that They Arc

Discovery Which Shows that They Arc

Under the direction of ieut.-Com.
Richardson Glover, the photographic
office of the navy has made one OF the
most momentous discoveries in the
whole annals of photography. 1t IS
safe to say that the seamen and meteor
ologists of the whole world will soon be
discussing it. 1t has been discovered
that the direction of the wind and also
of all the great ocean current closely
conforms to the line of barometric
pressure. Those lines, or curves, as
they are generally called, seem in fact
to suggest the flow of the great ocean
currents of wind and water. Knowing
the conformation of these barometric
curves it is possible to predict the direc-
ton of the winds for considerable
periods and also to inform mariners in
advance what changes in the flow OF
the ocean currents may be expected.
Hitherto there has never been any
explanation of the relation of these
one to another, and the chart to be is
sued by the photographic Office next
week will contain the first official an
nouncement to the world Of scientific
generalization which should make
Clcver's name universally famous. 1t
will be wonderful revelation 10 the
European photographers, and especial
~ to the English, whose latest charts
show an astounding ignorance of the
direction of the ocean currents along
the western shores of Europe.

formation relative to the atmospheric

START RIGHT.

The following, taken from the editor
ial columns of the Fort Scott Monitor, is
big with timely and valuable advice to
Republicans throughout Kansas, and
the EAGLE commends it to the thought
full consideration of all, although in
tended especially for Republicans the
facts set out are of as much concern to
all other citizens of the state as to Re-
pubiicans. The Monitor says: a good
many Republicans say, 80, there is
nothing but county officers to elect this
fall, and we will not be SO particular
about drawing party lines. This is
the way Republicans too often fool
away their opportunities. 1t Is just
such actions as this that gives offices
10 men who use ali their power and in
huence to beat the party. The first
thing needed is harmony in the party.
This is a time in the history of the
country and the party when there should
be no divisions. To start on, we should
each resolve that no personal feeling
shall interfere with our loyalty to the
party; that no secondary or minor issues
to the one great Republican idea of coun-
try first, last and all the time, should
keep US from casting our lot with the
party, to stay with it to the finish. 1t is
a question of patriotism, pure and SIM
pie. II is question of loyalty to the
constitution and laws of the state. If
we have the power, why not have the
county Offices in the hands of friends:
''Do Republicans not know that most
strenuous fight is now being made by
the Populists, whose papers in this state
of Kansas have nearly all upheld the act
of the governor of Illinois in pardoning
offices this fall, more par
ticularly those that bear most di'
rectiy on the execution of the new
ballot law? Our control as a
party, for number of years depends
entirely upon securing the offices this
fall. On cur success this fall depends
the much greater struggle which will
take place next year. The party needs
the benefit which a decisive victory will
bring this fall. We are aware there are
important matters of party policy about
which its members differ, but these
ought not ct this time to cause division
in our ranks. The first step is 10 get
control again. For the sake of gaining
this point all minor considerations can
be laid aside for future settlement. We
must have absolute union and harmony
in our party. We believe the Republi-
can party can win if it is wisely.handled.
On this depends the country's safety and
Is there not enough danger
in the situation to cause every patriot to
do his best for the restoration of the
state to the hands of its friends?"

THE THEORY OF WOMAN.
From the Pittsburg Times.

From the Pittsburg Times.
The Rev. c. S. Lucas. pastor of the
First Christian church, Allegheny,
preached sermonette last evening on
woman" He supplemented his re-
marks by saying he would challenge the
world to dlsprove any statement he
made, and If any of his hearers We're in
doubt as TO any point made he would
gladly devote four hours of his time in
his study to proving all he said. He said:
God created animals in pairs, but
Adam individually and alone. Eve was
in Adam originally, and woman came
from man entirely. Man was not
created for woman, but woman for man.
Adam lost by the operation what God
took to put in Eve. He was created
male and female. 1t is not believed
that Moses meant rib was
taken from Adam. Dust was used
to make man, but woman was made
from the flesh. God never breathed in
TO Ewes nostrils. She got breath from
Adam. The Bible shows two principals,
male and a female. The male principal
is the spirit and the female principal
the soul. A womans heart is her home.
She walks the earth by divine right as
the queen of hearts and the queen of
men. Eve was given body of finer
organization than man. 1t is not
wOman's business to reason, as she gets
information by intuition. II once
woman becomes thinker she is man
nish woman. What the serpent tempted
Eve with was to abdicate her soul and
love and usurp Adams power as a
thinker" The speaker concluded by
saying it was as much persons duty to
get married as it was to be baptized.

The absence of kicks from Topeka
against the railroads is explained by the
Abilene Reflector in the circumstance
that one-half the people in the capital city
ride on the roads and settle their fares

privileges, the Topekans will probably be

Senator Milton Brown of Garden City
writes the Topeka Journal, correcting
some wrong impressions that have been
published ABOUT the government expert
mental station ut Garden City. The sta
ton, says Mr. Brown, is not situated on
high table land, but on the second bottom
OF the Arkansas valley. He says the farm
has been an eminent success. The farm
can be irrigated, but it has not been. Four
hundred different kinds of grass have
been experimental with. Senator Brown
says that Secretary Morton has been mis-
reported in his remarks about the station
aud has not been treating it unjustly.
There is valuable pointer 10 farmers
in this, from the Pratt Republican:
Nv lille on a trip through kingmsn, Har-
per and Sedgwick couaties last week we
noticed that those counties had received
more rain than Pratt county. and hence
| their crops were little better. The wheat
in Harper county is estimated at one-half
an ordinary crop and IN Sedgwick and
kingman nearly as good One feature OF
their success was apparent when we saw

wheat was off the ground the plow was
started and the early blowing is what

PARTIES AND THE MONEY CUES
TON
From the Emporia riepubiicAn

From the EmDoria Republican.
Considering the fact that the whole
country is stirred up on the money ques-
tion and the silver states are threatening
revoiution-that congress IS called to
meet in special session to consider this
question, il Is evident that 10 party can
afford to ignore it. So far it has not
been party question. Republicans and
Democrats voted together in congress
and have. also, differed. But the time
has come when the lines must te drawn.
The Republican party must define its
position. Failing to do so, its members
will drift TO parties making this question
an issue. The Democrats under Cleve
land Will rally round the ''single stand
ard for one class of people and wildcat
money for another class. The Populist
party will favor fiat money without
redeemer. The Republican party should
favor q national legal tender paper cur
rency, based upon gold and silver re-
serve, thus presenting a currency for
the people that will pay debts and taxes,
and dollar will go tor dollar the
world over.
