SILVER AND SAVINGS BANKS.

Free Coinage Would Have the Effect Of
Wiping Out One-half the Deposits.
A tailor who should insist on his GUS
TONER accepting suit of clothes worth
only half as much as the one paid for
wpu1d be considered either fool or q
rogue. The agitators for debased cur.
rency which would permit debtors to
pay their creditors in dollars worth one
half Of those they borrowed need not
complain II plain people use plain Ian
guage in speaking Of their scheme. The
silverites claim they are being unfairly
abused when they are called dishonest or
regulators. A single illustration will
show whether they are not correctly de-
scribed.
There are in the various savings
banks Of this country deposits amount
ing to 81 $50, 744,000. This large sum
represents the little savings Of years by
working men and women, small bust
ness men and farmers. On the passage
Of free coinage law these deposits
would be payable in silver dollars worth
only 80 cents and having a purchasing
power one-haf less than our present
dollar. AS the banks keep very little
money on hand they would not be able
to pay their depositors in gold, even
though they wished, as their loans would
be payable in silver, and Of course their
debtors would pay in the cheap dollars.
The result would infallibly be that one
half of the entire savings bank deposits
Of the country would be wiped out,
practically stolen from their owners and
given to those who had borrowed them.
Would not this be dishonest? Is it not
simple reputation? And, if so, what
are the men who advocate it?

THE NEBULAR THEORY.
How, According to 1t, the Sun and the
Planets Were Formed.

Planets Were Formed.
Tho finite mind can hardly conceive
Of time when there was neither sun
nor planets, yet both the Bible and sci
ence teach us that such a state Of affairs
once actually existed. We have all read
the Biblical account Of creation, and not
few of us have spent valuable time
reading learned essays Oh the condition
of things in the time Of "the begin
hing" It is not the object of this
"note" to discuss the origin Of the sun
and the planets from Biblical stand
point, nor do we mean to give q resume
Of scientific opinions on the subject. On
the contrary, we shall confine our re-
marks to what is known as the "nebu-
lar hypothesis" or nebular theory Of
the origin of worlds and suns
According to the opinion of the most
learned astronomers, the beginning" is
ushered in with the existence through.
out all space Of an undefinable matter
of substance called "nebula. " This neb-
ula was of such wonderful thinness that
it is believed that millions Of miles Of
it could have easily been compressed in
to common thimble. The heavier
portions gradually gathered around
common centers after the lapse of ages
and iormed planets, suns and stars,
the light and heat Of the two latter be-
ing dus to the clashing Of their compo-
nent atoms as they gravitate continually
toward the center Of the mass.
The nobula origin Of the sun and in
cidentally Of the planets also is thus
finely set forth in o recent article by q
we'll known British writer: The matter,
or rather the gas which composes our
sun, was once spread out to the farthest
orbit Of the outernost planets Of our
system-that is, to the planet Neptune.
From the orbit of Neptune this incon-
ceivably thin mass began to converge,
growing denser and denser and smaller
and smaller as it gradually approached
its existing dimensions. As it con-
densed, revolving upon it's axis, the So
lar mist left behind it at intervals por-
tions of cloudlike matter cast off from
it's equator
These masses Of gas, undergoing q
similar evolution to that of the sun, or
central mass, have, with great slowness,
hardened into what is now Jupiter, Sat-
uril, the earth and the other planets.
Meanwhile the main central mass, al
ways retrcating, eventually formed the
sun itself, the present chief luminary of
our SYSTEM of worlds. st. Louis Re-

BACTERIA AND COLORS.
Blue Rays Kill Germs, but Red Docs No
Much Affect Them.

Much Affect Them.
Although investigation has not been
idle, experimenters have not been who'll
ly agreed as to the exact property or
field Of the sun S rays which is most eff
ficient in action on bacteria and fungi.
The inquiry has been continued by
Professor H. Marshall Ward, to whom
tho thought occurred ~ the course Of
his work that the most direct answer to
the question, Which rays are the most
effective ones? might be best obtained
by shining the solar spectrum directly
upon the film Of spores, and making it
record the effects by their subsequent
behavior, according as the different
groups Of rays fell upon them-in other
words, by obtaining photograph Of the
spectrum in living and dead bacteria.
The results showed conclusively that
the rays that kill the bacteria are the
blue and violet ones. An observation
was made during the investigation
which may 60 far to account for the I'M
satisfactory character Of the determine
tions Of former experiments.
The chief difficulty to be overcome
was the great weakening of the inten-
sity Of the dispersed rays Of the beam Of
light decomposed to form the spectrum,
a weakening caused by the distribu.
ton Of the incidence Of the rays over q
larger area and by their absorption and
reflection in passing through the lenses
and prisms.
It was found also, in working with
the electric light, that the power Of the
blue and violet rays was further i'm
paired-in other words, that they were
stopped-by the material (glass) through
which they had to pass.
The effect Of the glass was practically
the same as that Of mist or haze in the
atmosphere, which so filters out the
blue violet rays that the light Of a dull
day was Of little effect in the authors
experiments.
These difficulties were overcome by
using quartz instead Of glass, with
which it was possible to obtain very
pure spectrum sufficiently rich in blue
and violet rays to kill the spores in a
few hours. The author found it easy to
obtain satisfactory results in the sum-
mer with solar rays, even with glass
lenses, mirrors, ETC., and exposures Of
five or six hours, but in winter the ex-
posures required to be so long as to be
almost impracticable.- Popular Science

tried to drown herself last July by Jump

and who was adjudged insane and COM
mitted to the asylum, was recently re-
leased from that institution.
The county commissioners held two

western Lumber Co. to pay lump sum
for back taxes Of the past four years on

was accepted in a modified form by the
commissioners and returned for the com.
pany's acceptance of the changes.
During the present year the county
commissioners have ordered ten roads
opened, and petitions for five more are in
various stages of development in the
hands Of the commissioners. For each
road ordered at least ten days. work must
be done in the auditors Office. For this
the county receives no pay. 1t is argued
that the road districts, as they levy their
own road taxes, should pay the county
for this work, the amount OF which would
almost pay the salary of one deputy.
