Matter EndeStructibIe.

An essential property of matter,
but which does not commend itself
to superficial observation, like those
of extension and resistance, is indie
structibility. So far as experience
and observation can discover, matter
can neither be created nor destroyed.
On the surface facts seem to contra
dict this assertion, for any particular
portion Of matter may be decompOsed
and resolved into its constituent
parts, so that it seems to nave dis
appeared, because the form under
which we knew it is no longer
present.
In reality, however, no diminution
in the quantity Of existing matter
has taken place. One proof Of this
is easily afforded by combustion. If
we allow piece of wood Or COAL or
any combustlble solid body, to "burn
away" there will, as we all know, be
ashes remaining. If, while the COM
bustion is going on, we take means
to preserve not only the ashes, but
also every par0 Of the body which
would ordinarily be dissipated as
smoke and steam, and then weigh all
the different su distances. solid, liquid,
or gaseous, that we have obtained,
we shall find the combined weights
equal to the original weight of the
body itself. Words.

THIS country will not feel envious
toward Mexico if a certain element
in our population should be attracted
to the sister republic. A treaty be-
tween China and Mexico has been
drawn which provides that Chinese
immigrants in Mexico shall have all
rights and privileges accorded to ma
tives. They may be naturalized,
vote and hold Office if they get enough
ballots. It is thought that this con-
cession will not only attract large
NUM- ers from China, but will also lead
many Celestiale in the United States
to migrate to Mexico. In the latter
case, both Mexico and the United
States should be congratulated.

woman, who desired to land to Join

valid marriage according to the laws
of China, and must be recognized by
the United States. In rendering
this decision Judge Bellinger said he

ton in such cases. but added that
such danger exists in all cases where
Chinese are landed and must con-

Quaint and simple poet OF the S1erras.
Hamlin Garland, the poet and au-

tells us many interesting things con-
corning the poet and his peculiar, yet
beautiful, habits of life. His home
consists of series OF four cottages,

mother and brothers. The cottages
stand in the center OF a terraced
fruit farm, with roses growing all
about them, and the eye Of the poet
ever rests upon fruit trees, flowers,
the mountains on one side and the
valley and the waters on the otnef.
Miller believes in individual freedom
in living; he thinksmOst families live
too close together, and SO, instead OF
one large house, he has built four lit
tie ones. In one lives his mother,
where all dine together. In another
he himself sleeps and writes; the
third is for his brothers, and the
fourth for his guests. The doors OF
his cottage are never shut, and the

a MONEY SIEVE.

Continuance for Separating Coin Taken III
Church Collections.
Lewis K. Thurlow, of Brooklyn, has
recently patented an invention which
is likely to revolutioniZe one phase OF
church work. Mr.. Thurlow is trus-
tee Of one of the leading churches OF
Brooklyn. He counts the collection
every Sunday. This consists OF a
large number Of quarters, dimes,
nickels and pennies, and it takes
much time to sort them out. Count
ing the money is the least part of the
work, the great trouble being to sepa-
rate it.
Now, Mr. Thurlow has invented a
coin separator. 1t consists OF box
or case, in which there are small
drawers. Each drawer is perforated
with round holes large enough to al
low a certain sized coin to pass
through. The top drawer will only
hold half-dollar pieces. the next
drawer quarters, the next nickels,
the next pennies and the bottom
dimes.
When the collection has been taken
up all the money received is placed in
the top compar tment. Then the box
is locked and thoroughly shaken.
When it is opened it is found that
the coins have dropped through to

Gerrnany's Youthful Criminals.

A German paper states that in
consequence of the considerable in
crease in the number OF youthful
criminals in Germany between II and
Is years of age the Imperial Ministry
Of the Interior at Berlin is conteln-
plating the reorganization of the
compulsory education system. The
government has in view the imita-
ton of English institutions. All
the German laws. our Berlin CORE
spondent points out, have the great
fault that the interference of the
authorities is permitted only when a
child has committed some crime, but
they give no handle against morally
debased children who are still free
from crime. The number of youth
full criminals has risen from AZ, $40 to
to 46, 468-that is, 10 per cent. in one

A LONG and fattering invitation
signed by an extensive list of promi.
nent Americans has been sent to Mr..
Gladstone urging him to visit this
country. The invitation is a de-
served compliment to the Grand Old
Man, but the signers can hardly have
contemplated the remotest possibil'
ity that he will accept it. It is ut
terly beyond the bounds of probable
ity. Mr.. Gladstone is bad sailor
and breads the ocean. Even if he
were a good sailor, he is a very old
man and has many Of the inf1rmities
which accompany old age. Twenty
years ago such an invitation might
have been accepted by him, but it is
now too late to expect him to cross
the Atlantic and then endure lioniz-
ing over 5000 miles of land, since
Canada as we'll as the United States
would claim him. The invitation
will be a graceful souvenir which he
will prize, but that he will accept it
is hopeless.

INCIDENTAL good from the coal
strike can hardly be thought COM
pensation for the enormous waste
and misery caused by such an I'M
fortunate complication. The i'll wind
may not be looked upon as anything
but i'll, but perhaps it might be en-
dured with more patience if it re-
suited, as it promises, in compelling
the railroads to use anthracite coal
on larger number of their trains.
Soft coal is an unmitigated nuisance
on a passenger engine, and it's use
can only be pardoned where hard coal
cannot be obtained or where traffic is
so light as to render the expense pro-
hibitory. Many railroads which
formerly used soft coal altogether
were forced to use hard coal on a few
passenger trains, and the comfort of
the public was thereby greatly in
creased. The patrons of line, once
accustomed to freedom from cinders
and smoke, will hardly permit re-
turn to the old methods. 1t is to be
hoped that the strike will contribute
something to the education of the
railroads and people in this direction.

boyhood was spent in the forests Of
Oregon. His belief is that if Christ
were to return to this earth He would
not live in great house in the roar
of a city, attended by servants-it
would be impossible for Him. He
would live near to Nature, would
serve Himself to be served by those
who loved Him. Miller believes that
the one positive law OF God to man
was this: ON the sweat Of thy face
shalt thou eat bread" He believes
that if this law were absolutely car
ried out, all inequality, all grinding
toll, all the hurry and bitterness and
insecurity of life here on earth would
vanish.
He is an indefatigable worker. He
took this piece Of land when it Was
nothing but barren hillside, incredi-
bly, sterile and rocky. With the
work Of his own hands he led the
water down from the canyon. He
has terraced the hillsides, built stone
walls, followed out trout ponds and
planted orchards of olives and wal
nut trees. His habit is to drive
away at his writing in the forenoon,
while in the Afternoon he works with
the man to whom he has given a
part of his plough land in payment
for assistance in the other work about
the orchard. Thus it will be seen
he has much the same idea expressed
by Tolstoi as he walks behind his
Russian harrow.

DIR. WALTER kEMPsTER, who was
one Of the government experts in the
Guiteau trial, has made a sensation
al statement relative to the insanity
of the assassin of President Garfield.
1t has always been claimed that the
prosecution in the Guiteau case was
meIcileSs and that the resources of
the government were combined to
take his life, justifiably Or not. DR..
kempSter states that so far from the
truth is this assertion the govern
ment instructed it's own experts to
find Guiteau insane if possible, in
order that it should net go into his
tory that a President Of the United
States had been shot in time of peace
by a responsible man. Each expert
studied Guiteau for himself and
without knowledge Of the conclusion
reached by any Of his colleagues. DE-.
Kempster further alleges that after
his death competent and disinterest
ed examination by two specialists
showed that the brain Of the assassin
was free from symptoms Of insanity.
DR.. Kempster's statement ought to
put at rest the widely held belief
that there was yIndictiyeness on the
part of the Federal prosecution to-
ward the wretch who inflicted upon
the history OF the United States so
foul a blot.
