TURN IN THE TIDE.
Representative McGann Says Immi-
grafton to the United States
.-. Will Soon Stop,
And When It Does the Labor Cues
ton in This Country Will Be
Practically Solved.
Inducements Being Offered by Europe
to Keep Labor at Hcme Must

WASHINGTON, May 10. -Representa-
tive Mccain, chairman of the labor
committee, predicts that turn in the
tide OF Immigration is not far off, end
that when 1t comes it will offer the So
luton to the depressed condition of
American labor now existing.
"The tide of immigration has been
steadily toward the United States for
years." said Mr.. McGann, until the
labor market of Europe is Icing so
drained that the commercial classes are
awake to the necessity of
Keeping Their Labor at Home.
Furthermore, the leading men OF
Germany. France and Great Britain
place the labor question foremost among
the great national questio3s. while
in this country, tic Iubijo
man who seeks to advance tho
cause of labor is set down as Gema-
gogue. Bismarck and King William
are urging reforms to ameliorate the
condition of labor. In France labor is
recognized by the government to tie

labor, similar to our ir5elligen,e oElces.
where employers Gin secure me-, aid
men can secure work.
Says England Is Ahead of Us.
In England they are rs ye RS ahead CT
Us in lending government assistance to
labor. There are two half holidays eaca
week, Wednesday and Saturday after
Moons, during which it is illegal to keep
men at work. Public halls are pro-
vided for the meetings of workingmen.
Public parks are designated where they
may spend their half holidays. Premier
Rosst cry is following Gladstone in
aiding toward the Letter condition of
labor. And while European countries
are thus bending every energy toward
helping labor, the United States is
standing still. We are already far be.
mind our foreign neighbors and they are
going ahead. we are going backward.
This cannot but be recognized Ly labor
before long, and it will surely result in
turning the tide of immigration away

dangling Piano Strings.

Another case occurred in q house
where 1 was once stopping i'll Nova
Scotia, A piano with a bad note was
fixed by simply opening an inside shut
ter Of bay W in1ow at the opposite side
Of parlor from the piano. The latch of
one shutter was lightly resting against
the edge Of another and caused the Jan
gle when one particular note was struck.
The lady player had previously declared
that she would send for @ tuner the next
day and laughed at my attempt to fix it
by hunting about the room while she
pounded. However, she did not conceal
her surprise when the trouble was re-
moved and admitted that there was
something about this sound business
that she did not quite understand.
In regard to lcc1@ing these jangles,
however, ITiL 80 that it is not always
SO easy. It requires some practice before
the ear becomes capable Of locating with
any degree Of success tic direction of
sounds of this kind. This was. my ex-
perienoe with the first piano jan5Ie,
that of the cracked globe, which was
quito difficult. That Of the window
shutter was easier as we'll as many 9TH
ers which have located since. 4 cor

adjunct in the case. "A. :. KnUdsoa in

The Clock yyindiDr Snake.

IN Persia there is kind Of snake
which is known to the natives as the
clock winding snake. 1t derives it's
nane from q peculiar buzzing noise
which it makes that resembles the wind
ing Of q clock. These snakes are per-
feotly harmless and frequently glide in
and out Of the houses, no attention be-
ing paid to them by the natives. Dur
ing a visit there several years ago
was attracted one morning by an unu-
sual twittering of birds, and on looking
Up saw about 20 sparrows on the top
of wall, all jumping about in an ex-
cited manner.
At first I was at loss to understand
the cause of such q commotion, but
presently I heard the peculiar buzzing
Of the clock winding snake and in a
minute perceived the reptile crawling
along the wall, making directly for the
birds, which appeared to be fascinated
and made no attempt to fly away. The
snake glided in among the birds, and
choosing one to his liking deliberately
seized it in his mouth and swallowed
it. I picked up stick, and after kill
ing the snake cut him open and extract
ea the sparrow. After about 10 min
Utes' exposure to the sun the bird got
up, and in few minutes more few

Birch Bark Shoes,

Shoes and other articles besides baS-
kets and cabinets are manufactured from
birch bark by the E;2ssiHn peasantry.
The bark from which Ikeso articles are
made is from the inner skin Of the Rus
sian birch tree, common in almost all
parts of the empire. 1t is gathered
spring and fall, and the process is Il very
simple one. An incision Is first made
around the trpnss OF the tree, and tho
peasants have a lnacll of tearing Or IN
winding the bark from tho starting
point, which gives them strip Of even
width that they wind into a ball and
keep through the winter until it is dry
enough to use. It Is then made into
shoes, baskets and other useful articles
The barks shoes are universally worn
by the Russian peaSantry. Other shoes
used IN winter are made of Sleeps wool
These are manufactured by itinerant
oobblers who travel from house to house,
using the peasants own Materials

Some Interesting Things q Voyage to tho
Gigantic World Would Disclose.
If Uranus, which is Q star of about
the sixth magnitude, were "a planet like
those little ones called asteroids, which
are being discovered by the dozen every
year, it could not have, much claim upon
popular attention. But Uranus is really
a gigantic world, more than 60 times
as large as ours Its vast distance, now
about l, 700, 900, 900 miles from the
Garth, is what causes it to look SO small
Uranus has four moons, which revolve
backward in their orbits-that is to say,
they revolve from east to west around
Uranus, while Uranus goes, like all the
other planets, from west to east around
the sun. 1t is believed that Uranus ro-
tates backward on its axis also More
over, the axis of that great, strange
globe lies in such direction that in
the course Of its year, which is equal to
80 Of our years, the sun shines almost
perpendicular first upon one pole and
then upon the other. Measured By our
time standard, ti2e-a are 40 years of con-
slant daylight, followed by 70 years of
unbroker r-Hht, around the poles Of
Uranus. And the sun rises = the vest
and sets in the east there. Bnt the srn

1t is a pity that the telescope is aJlo
to show Us very little Of the detail Of
the surface of Uranus Some faint bands
or belts, just visible with the most pow
erful instruments, are all that can be
made out. II we could visit Uranus, we
should probably be greatly surprised, if
not greatly disappointed. It's average
density is but trifle III excess of that
of water, and of course its surface den
sity is far less.

could no moro walk Oh tho surface of
that world than he could walk Gil water.
1t has generally been assumed that
the meaning Of the slight density of
Uranus is that that planet as still in &
vaporous or liquid condition and ex-
ceedingly hot perhaps. If so, it may in
the course of future ages contract and
condense and cool until it comes into q
condition resembling the earth's. Will
vital forces then become active upon it
and produce a long succession of living
species, Frightening its dim daylight
with the color Of flowers and the cease
less activity OF animate existence? It IS
not likely that man will ever be able TO
