The Snail Has thirty Thousand Teeth.

Don't believe a word of it, do you?
Well, that makes but little difference
it is on the authority of one of the most
noted of the modern school of natural
lists, and that is sufficient. In the pc
culiarity of teeth and mouth the snail
is the most wonderful of all the created
creatures, and it has been truly said
that it is fortunate for mankind that
some of the larger of the wild animals
are not similarly constructed. The
mouth of the snail is armed with Won
derful organ in the shape of rasplike
tongue. This tongue resembles a long,
narrow ribbon, coiled in such a manner
that only a small portion of it is in use
at any one time Thickly distributed
over the entire surface of this ribbonlike
organ are an immense number of very
minute but strong and sharp teeth, de-
signed in a manner which admirably
adapts them to the purpose for which
they are intended viz, that of rasping
off the edible portions of the vegetation
upon which the owner OF the rasp feeds.
The number of these teeth, as limited
in the opening and also in the heading,
is perfectly incredible, one species hav
ing been shown by actual count under
the microscope to possess not less than
30, 000 st. Louis Republic.

The suggestion comes from Newark,
N. j., that the tariff be taken out of
politics. This is not new idea, but it
now assumes for the first time some
practical form, with an outline for pro-
cedure by Mr.. Samuel B. Archer, who
for the full and proper advocacy of his
suggestions has published this week the
first number of weekly paper called
The Tariff Commission.
AS the name of the paper implies, the
idea of Mr.. Archer is that the tariff of
the United States be under the entire
control of a commission of 10 members.
This commission, it is suggested, should
be divided into three parts Of five mem
bers each, one part to represent the gov
eminent, one to represent labor, and the
third to represent the manufacturing
and commercial interests of the country.
Our new tariff contemporary explains
its ideas very completely, and we advise
all our readers to send for copy of the
first number. The subject is one fraught
with the utmost Importance. There can
be no doubt that the establishment of
permanent protective tariff, that would
not be subject to continuous petty tin
kering at the hands of incompetent NAL
efactors, would tend to the progress and
advancement Of the American nation TO
a degree that we have hitherto never ex-
perienced. Business could be establish
ed permanently and continue in an even
course irrespective of politics and the

riodical congressional elections. Much
can be said in favor of the project. which
should not be lightly cast aside.

The extent of the depression in the
textile industries of New England may
be gagged by the following statement of
the losses in wages in Lowell, Mass.
The mills were shut down for periods as
follows, and the losses, as near as can
be obtained, are also given: Merrimack,
two weeks; loss, $44, 900. Lawrence,
three weeks; loss, $50, 900. Lowell,
brussels department, four weeks; in
grain department, seven weeks; loss,
SIT, 900. Appleton, twelve and half
weeks; loss, $106, 900. fremont and
Suffolk, eight weeks; loss, $3.50, 600.
Hamilton, two weeks; loss, $2S, 600.
Faulkner's, seven weeks; loss, 1874, 900.
chickering's hosiery, twelve weeks; loss,
1874, 900. Pulling 8 shoeshop, nine weeks
loss, So, 1000. Collins mills, six weeks;
loss, IS, 400. Mohair Plush company,
eight weeks; loss, $4,000. Howard
Knitting company, six weeks; loss,
500, 900. Stott Bros, running two
thirds time; loss, 81, 900; making to-
tai loss to employees of 1918, 800. Be-
sides this many small concerns have
been shut down for three months, and
if the total losses of these could be OBJ
tanned it would undoubtedly be found
that the working people of the city have
lost in wages fully $3.50, 600 this season.
But the loss is not at an end, as the mills
have all cut down wages about z per
cent and are usually running on re-
duced time and with reduced help

Agricultural Ignorance.

does not every dollars worth Of imports
kept out by protective policy keep in a dol
lars worth of import grain that would other
wise leap to go out4
This is one of those profound conun-
drums that the secretary of agriculture
tried to solve at the congress of agr1cul-
ture recently held in Chicago. We do
not believe that any schoolboy would
ask such a question. The protective
tariff has nothing whatever to do with
the exports of the country. The guam
tity of grain that will leap to go out"
depends entirely upon the crops in other
countries as we'll as in our own-1n
fact, upon the question of supply and
consequent demand. The protective
tariff, Mr. Morton, is to keep out from
this country things that are grown or
manufactured in other countries, and
which we ourselves are able to grow or
manufacture. We presume that Mr..
Morton is not aware that during the
period of the greatest protection this
country has ever had our exports
of wheat were larger than ever
known in the history of the coun-
try, the result being that our i'm
ports were phenomenally smaller than
our exports; hence our exceeding pros
perity under protection. The dense
Ignorance shown by the secretary of
agriculture in the affairs pertaining to
his department would be amusing, were
it not so shameful, in coming from the
head of the department that should be
representative of our vast agricultural
resources. Economist.

PninstakInG Forgers.

"Men try in every way possible" said
a prominent bank president, "to obtain
the signatures of New York bankers.
"Their object is evidently to use them
in committing forgeries. AT least we
suspect so, and for that reason try to be
as careful as possible in signing letters.
'In this bank we have many letters
from the west of such a trivial nature
that we suspect an Interior motive upon
the part of the writers, and if we answer
them at all do so by typewriter, even to

the year comes around he writes, inclos-
ing a $40 bill, and requests us to send
him one of our new $40 bank notes III
exchange.
HE always gives the same reason for
the request-that he wants it for his col
lection OF course that is nonsense. We
believe that he wants new bill so that
he may discover if we have changed our
officers and get their signatures.

instantaneous photography has made
us familiar with the fact that very mi
mute subdivisions of time are possible.
Successful negatives are now frequently
taken where exposure lasts only the one
thousandth part of a second.
But at the first blush the statement
that single tick of the clock-the three
thousand six-hundredth part of an hour
can be divided into millionths seems
almost incredible, so infnitesimal is the
fraction of time to be determined.
This is a scientific age, aud science is
nothing if it is not exact. Man has
measured and weighed the abysses Of
the great oceans that cover three-fourths
of the surface Of our migratory planet
and can give approximately the number
of drops of water and grains of sodium
chloride of which it is made up.
He has also computed the size, meas
ured the distances and analysed the
composition of stars so distant as to be
not even visible TO the naked eye. Att
or this it requires very bold or very
ignorant individual TO set any limit to
human ingenuity.
That extremely minute fractions of
time could be accurately determined
was incidentally discovered by cele-
brated electrician while making some
famous experiments with regard to the
velocity of electricity.
For the purpose of his experiment he
caused an electric discharge from Ley
den Jar to be sent through half mile
of copper wire with break in the cen
tel. This gave rise to three sparks,
which were reflected IN rapidly rotat-
ing mirror revolving at the enormous
rate of 500 times a second.
The position Of the sparks IN the mir
ror showed that the central spark was
slightly out of line, or was slightly re-
tarded as compared with the other two,
which were strictly simultaneous. The
mirror, therefore, had moved forward

"A Hard Winter Before the MorRefs CT tno

General Hastings of Pennsylvania, in
a speech at Philadelphia, has tersely
summed up the situation in the country.
The condition of the Pennsylvania farm
or and workingman as he presents it Is
not overdrawn, and it will be the condi-
ton of the New York farmer and worker

''People are now in want, with hard

due to Democracy and the Democratic

"The country is in such condition
now that men turn to each other with
blanched faces and ask how long their
employment will last. Mills are closing
every day. The party in power at Wash
ington is responsible for the existing con-
dition of affairs. The farmer is feeling
the stress of financial and political
weather as well as the artisan and pro-
fessional man, and through the length

hears the cry for relief. But the Demo

"The Democrats repudiated protection

Real Causes of the PANIC.

While Mr. Cleveland S cry Of warning
to foreign investors here has contributed
to bring us to our present sorry plight,
the overshadowing and all controlling
reason for our condition is to be found in
the threat of the Democratic party to
destroy our present industrial system
by absolutely destroying the protective
features of our revenue system, and in
its place establish system designed
simply and solely for revenue. This
threat is the real cause of all our trou-
BILE. But for it the question of silver
would not have ruffled this nation more
than a breeze of summer disturbs the
placid waters of some sheltered brook.
The tariff is the issue in this nation to
day and will continue to be until we
have established beyond question one
system or the other-the protection
or the tariff for revenue only" system.

Eli Perkins, who was recently in st.
John, N b., when asked how the Cana
dams felt about the Wilson bill, replied:
"There is great rejoicing all over Can

John Telegraph, we will have Cana
dian boom. The Mckinley bill knocked
out the 40 lime factories about st. John,
but free lime will soon start them up
again. When the new Wilson tariff bill
is passed, we will make over $1,000,0 900

it to the States. Our own Canadian ships
will carry it to Boston. We will help
our farmers and sailors.

"'Why, those Knox, Lincoln and Wal

vowel. hi the Hawallan Tongue.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly of vowels and few consonants
put in to vary the monotony. And the
beauty of the system is that there is no
waste. Every vowel is pronounced. For
instance, when the American eye winks
at the appearance of the simple word
''naauao," the glib native rolls out the
five syllables with neatness and dispatch.
This means "enlighten." Double VOW
els are very frequent, but never diph-
thong. Three vowels are not uncom-
mon, and, as above, four and sometimes
more are found unseparated by conso-
nants In the mouth of the uneducated
native the language is apt to be explo-
sive, but the higher classes speak 1t with
fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian. In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow of the con
tinental European languages, for the
vowels all have the French quality, and
the accents are not dissimilar. Wash
