Successful! Experiments for the
Purpose of Initiating Them.
One of the prettest sights OF summer even
ing In the country is a meadow covered with
swarm OF fitting freflles Many intensely
practical people have laughed at any sugges-
tion that this Grefly light could be utilized in
any way by man. Yet scientists have long
been at work on the problem, and one OF the
number, Secretary Langley of the Smithsonian
Institution, has arrived al some startling con-
illusions. The light she'd by these insects is
the most economical lIuminant in the world.
IT has no waste and no eyer-ruunng meter.
Moreover, IL is 100 times cheap as gas,
WHICH means bat one pays dollar for a c. nt's

waste by the production of heat.
This may seem rather strange to those who
nseparably ret light with some degree

ELEvATING INFERIOR RACES.

\ number of British scientists
gave voice to opinions at a recent
meeting of the British Royal Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Science, which indicate an almost
revolutionary change OF opin-
ion concerning the efforts OF
civilized people to raise the inferior
races to their own level. Prof. F.
Petrie, who was perhaps the most
radical in his views, held that all
attempts to impose our own stand
ards on inferior races have been
absolutely fatal to them. They
absorb the vices rather than the
virtues of civilization, and both
moral and physical decay inevita-
bly, follow. Only scientists were
allowed to enter the discussion
which was supposed to be confined
to a purely scientific basis.
There was, however, an occasional
depression with more or less refiec-
ton on the work OF missionaries
in the semi-civilized countries.
DIR. Gust thought the missionaries
did wrong by their endeavors to
make semi-barbarians put on more
clothes and dictate to the natives
of India rs to their marriage
customs and general modes of life.
He held that the alphabet, cotton
clothes and the English divorce
court have not proven salutary
civilizing influences. Professor p.
Haddon said Englishmen do
not, theoretically, wish to exter-
inmate native races, but, as a mat
ter of fact, they do so, and what
has happened in Tasmania, where
not a single native survives, is
likely to happen in the islands of
the South Seas"
If these men had held to their
scientific text there probably would
have been little cause for discussion
from those outside their technical
circle, but their deviation and
general attack on the advance of
what have been looked upon as
civilizing forces puts them in
rather ludicrous position. Professor

HIS DYSPEPSIA IycUBABLE.

A. might be expected, the politi
cal dyspeptic Of the Opposition
makes haste TO proclaim his free
dom from disease. He boldly a.
=ert- that the black zpeck- that
dance before his eyes are not the
result OF his disarrangcd organism,
but are actually tangible objects
that positively do exist in the po-
IiticaI atmosphere, and further
more ne proclaims all men a liars
who have the temerity to say that
he doesn't know what he i talking
about.
Arguing with him puts one on
the same plane as the maiden lady
who attempted to argue with Fido
on the uselessness OF baying
at the moon. The poor purp
didn't know any better, so kept
ON yeIping. Our dyspeptic indi-
vidual. however, could learn better
ways if he would. But ne won't.
He shuts one eye so that he sees
all the way from one TO three Of his
friends who are afflicted with the
same malady, and asserts that ;'we
are the people" after the
style OF the Tooley street
tailors. He doesn't care for
honest government; he doesn't
care for purity in politics; he
doesn't care for anything so long
as he gets chance to play his
hand organ dirge to the taxpayers
and succeeds in making few others
feel as politically miserable as he
is himself. The first measure OF
his tune starts in with spite and
ends with deception; the second is |
the same and so on to the finale.
When he completes his piece he
takes a long breath and plays the
same thing over again. OF course
ne attracts attention-every hand
organ does-and the only problem
that faces the public is how long
they will listen to his Ubiquitous
music before declaring it a public |
nuisance.

MEXICO'S EXAMPLE.

The San Francisco Chronicle
I I'm a recent issue, alludes to the
prosperity OF Mexico where the
silver standard prevails. 1t says
it is ''the fact that the chief
cause OF the rejuvenation of Mex
leo j. her abandonment Of the idea
OF attempting to get rich by eXter-
nal trade, and instead devoting
herself to supplying her own
wants
Statements like the above con-
fuse the average reader and pre-
vent him from ever acquiring a
correct knowledge of political econ
omy. Is not this statement a close
argument for the Chinese system?
Are they not a people who openly
declare that they do not wish to get
rich by external trade? Are they
not, too, on a silver basis, just as
japan Is? Are the Chinese dread
fully prosperous q? They utterly
reject the gold standard. But
then, are the Mexicans prosperous?
Anyone who has carefully read the
trade journals of the Eastern States
for the last few years knows that
the great complaint of the Ameri-
can merchants is that the Mexi
cans have few wants, need little
clothing, and are so poor that they
purchase little. The expectation
OF a great mercantile boom is over,
and the trade with that country is
insignificant.
1t is pretty well understood that
if the great commercial countries
should all together adopt the silver
standard there would be a general
rise in prices all around. But so
long as the gold standard is the
standard of the money centres, the
workmen of silver countries must
suffer. The German workman is
paid in gold, the japanese work
man is paid in silver, or one-half
the gold value. Which is the SUI
ferer? The japanese farmer gets
S6 a month in silver in Japan. The
same man gets $12 per month in
gold in Hawaii. or 1914 if converted |
into japanese silver. Which is the
sufferer? II the United States
takes the Chronicles advice they |
should cut off all foreign COM
MERGE, and the Coast should stop |
selling flour to the Asiatics. Will !
that pay?
