Walter l.. Mains Animal Exhibit.

The managerie department of The
Great Walter l.. Main shows is un-
doubtedly the most complete ever ex-
hibited in one collection. The amount
of money invested in this one depart
ment would more than equal, twice
over, the amount of money invested in
the entire outfit of ordinary shows. A
great many dens of rare wild beasts are
displayed daily, in the magnificent
street parade, which is free to all, and
the drove Of elephants, camels. drom-
edaries and other led animals Is worth
coming many miles to see. These great
shows will be seen in all their vast en-
tirety at Brookville, June Sth.

Hammock Upset.

n mule is n treacherous animal, and
so are some hammocks. A young man
of this place walked home with another
young mans Sunday girl" one evening
last week and when they arrived at the
maidens home they sat down in the
hammock. II was only for Il second, for
the 'pesky" hammock kicked up and
two pieces of humanity dropped on the
porch in any way but graceful and easy.
The young man may possess the skill to
manipulate the necessary instrument to
extract a naughty molar, but he can not
ride an unrully hammock.

The First Half Of lso5.

The first half of 1895 has been re
markable period Of financial and mercan
tile reconstruction. The two quarters in to
which the half-year is divided present strik-
ing contrasts. From Jan. / to the end of
March business depression based upon
financial uncertainty was pronounced; ;
from April to date, recovery has been
sharp-three short months have changed
completely the aspect of business general
ly. With the adjournment of Congress
and the contract of the government with
the bond syndicate, long repressed indus
try revived; depleted stocks of goods were
far below the brisk consumptive de-
mand which set in all over the country;
prices of staple commodities have risen
buoyantly; almost every department of
manufacturing industry is busy; more
than a quarter-milion workers have had
material advances made in wages, by far
the larger part voluntarily, and, best of all,
the half-year ends with distinct indication
that the last agitation for cheap money is
failing rapidly. Success of such agitation
depends upon popular discomfort by reason
of hard times With revived industry due
to confidence in the currency the free coin
age propaganda makes little headway
The treasury gold reserve is restored, the
contract with the syndicate insures immun-
ity from a drain of gold until the natural
and seasonable movement of goods can
take care of the trade situation, foreign
purchases of American securities have
been resumed and on a large scale, capital
is going freely into investment, loans of
banks are increasing, confidence has re-
turned. Thus the first half of 1895 pre-
sents the sharp contrast of finance and
commerce at their lowest and also at their
highest point in years, so rapid has been
the revival. SO striking a movement in so
short period rarely has been seen. The
best feature is that this improvement of
the last quarter bears every evidence of
staying power. The gains have not been
ephemeral, but are maintained generally;
bank clearings keep on improving by un-
diminished percentages week after week;
railway earnings are gaining; even the
granger railways are reporting increased
net income in May, the first time this year;
prices of iron, leather, wool and other
leading staples are maintained at the top;
the movement of goods into consumption
steadily expands. Evidently 1895 is to
pass into history as the year of bus siness
revival in the United States.

nenth of Prof. mn,Icr.

The death of Thomas Henry Huxley,
one of the most eminent scientists Eng
land has produced, occurred at his home at
Eastbourne, Surrey, Saturday, Prof. HuX-
ley was born at Ealing, MiddleseN, in the
year 1925; was educated at Ealing school,
and studied medicine at the medical school
of the Charing Cross hospital, London.
AS a consequence of the limited means of
his family his schooling at Ealing was
practically all he had until the opportuni-
ties for medical study opened. The Uni
versity of London gave him the degree of
NJ. d. and he was afterward appointed to
a position in the medical service of the
British navy, being assigned for a time at
the hospital at Haslar and then ordered on
a cruise to the South Pacific on the Rattle
snake. This cruise lasted four years, dur
ing which he wrote and forwarded to
England several papers. 1t was through
these that he first became known to the
scientific world. He had contributed large
ly to the scientific literature of the age,
and his published lectures are almost in
Vulnerable.
Prof. Huxley was one of the rare men
of whom it can be said that in every di-
rection in which he eXerted himself he at

tanned eminence His life has been one of
unusual activity, covering a wide range of
subjects. He was prominently a scien-
tist and investigator, but he was also a
scholar of large general attainments, an
educator, an author who treated ably mat
ters not Immediately scientific, and an ar
dent lover of nature as a poet loves her.
lie was a thinker and a man of action,
philosopher who delighted in going deeply
into the most abstruse of questions, and
at the same time possessed of a power of
clear statement and elucidation of the con-
crete facts of science, the use of which he
keenly enjoyed AS a writer of English
he had few equals, whether among scien-
lists and philosophers or literary men. His
rame came prominently before the general
public in connection with the London
school board, to which he was elected in
1870. In that body he took very active
part, re ndering himself especially conspic-
uous by his opposition 10 denominational
teaching.
With all his intellectual acuteness and his
avowed agnosticism Huxley was by no
means cynic. His agnosticism was eX-
actly what the word implies, a state of sus-
pended judgment on matters concerning
which he found no basis for positive belief
or knowledge. He denied nothing and he
was never so easily provoked as by the at
tempt to make him appear as positive
negationst of belief
Professors Huxley and Tyudal were de-
voted friends and co-laborers, although
the former always occupied a much more
advanced position than the latter. Hon
ors poured in upon him in these latter
years. lie has been decorated numerous
times, elected an officer or member of near
ly every important scientific society in the
! world, served as member of several gov
ernment commissions and made president
OF the Royal society. He has been for
long time breaking down, but his mind has
been clear and his power of reasoning and
ability to express his conclusions brilliant
ly has not been impaired, as is conclusive
ly shown by his recent controversy with the
bishop of Manchester and Gladstone over
matters of theology. In the autumn of
/ 1876 Mr. Huxley visited the United States,
going to West Point and New Haven, and
| delivering three lectures in New York city.

The University of Vermont is now one
of the very prosperous educational institu-
tions, and the students are required to pay
in tuition only about one-seventh Of the
cost of its maintenance. The gifts to the
university in the last ten years exceed
100000. The benefactions of the late
John p. Howard amounted to over $780,
600. The gifts of the late Frederick Bill
lingslaggregated S250,OOO, including the fine
brownstone library building. The United
States government contribute S15, 900 an
nually as fund for the state agricultural
college. The state treasury pays $4,000
each year for interest on the agricultural
college fund of S135, 900, and also pays for
80 scholarships. John II. Converse of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadel-
phia has nearly completed the erection of a
handsome marble dormitory to cost up
wards of $4,000, which he will present
to the university. DR.. f.. II. Williams,
Mr., Converse's partner, IS building a spa
cious fireproof science building at an ex-
pense of about S15000 In addition to
these buildings group of brick buildings
for the United States experiment station,
the dairy school and the college farm have
been erected and equipped with modern
machinery and appliances. Other gifts
and bequests made during the last ten
years amount to fully 100000.

a RaLOr-Back Ship.
From Harper's Weekly.

Lying at a private wharf in Alexandra,
Virginia, is very remarkable ship. She
is the first of a new type of vessel intend
ed to revolutionize the ocean carrying
trade. If the hopes of Mr. Fryer, the de-
signer and builder of the ship, are realized,
passengers will cross the Atlantic in three
tifths of the time now occupied by the
"ocean greyhounds' of commerce.
Mr., Fryer has sought ITO apply the pal
ace-car idea to ocean travel. He has built
a ship which while 222 feet long is only Is
feet beam. Its equilibrium is to be main
tanned by the heavy keel and by the so 900
pounds of machinery below the water-line.
The narrow prov of such a vessel will cut
the water like a knife Resistance will be
reduced to a minimum. The heavy COM
pact machinery will furnish ample power
for the single screw, and the little razor
back vessel will cleave through the water
at a rate of speed which will seem incredi-
BILE at first. All of this, of course, If Mr..
Flyers hopes are realized. The vessel is
to have a practical test in the lower Poto-
mac river in a short time.

An Industrial Possibility Ofthe Future.
Matthew Marshall in the New York Sunl
The abundance and the cheapness of
human labor in Asiatic countries have
long been prOverbial, but they have not,
until lately, availed to cOunterbalance the
superior energy and skill of European
artisans and the greater productiveness of
European machinery. Within a few years,
however, the fall of silver, relatively to
gold, has greatly reduced the wages paid in
the East in silver as compared with the
wages still paid in Europe in gold, or, to
state the fact in another way, wages in
Europe have practically risen, while wages
in Asia have remained stationary. While
the discussion of bimetallism goes on,
with small prospect that it will become an
accomplished fact in our day, the Asiatics
are every day enlarging their manufacture
ing enterprises and fixing them on firm
er basis, so that very soon it will be i'm
possible to overthrow them, if, indeed, it
is not impossible already. Appetite grows
by what it feeds on, and now that few
thousand of IIindoos, Chinese, and Japan
ese have tasted of the profits of these new
employments they will not meekly re-
nounce them.
The result of the recent triumph of
Japan over China cannot fail to be a vast
ly freer admission into China of modern
ideas and modern improvements than has
hitherto been permitted, and, when to
3OO,OOOO 900 llindoOs, accustomed to earn
ten cents a day and less, shall be added
100000 900 Chinese, whose notions of
compensation are equally meagre, they
will constitute new mine of human labor
as extensive and as valuable as were the
fertile lands of America when it was first
discovered, or the gold fields of California
and of Australia. European talent will
not be wanting, if native skill proves
inadequate, to teach those myrads of
hands how to employ themselves to the
best advantage, and the ruin that has
overtaken Assyria, Babylonia, Persia,
Egypt, and Turkey, from the transference
of their industrial, commercial. and mill
tary supremacy to other countries, may yet
be shared by Europe. Years, and probably
centuries, must yet elapse before this
catastrophe arrives, and unforeseen causes
may avert it altogether; but it is not a
chimera to be waved aside as impossible.

The deficit of the United States treasu-
ry at the end of the fiscal year. June 80,
is stated at S44, ,404, 1873, but it is charged
that all payments possible were kept back
during the last week in June so as to make
the showing as favorable as possible, and
that the actual deficit, with these pay
ments made, is upward of $4,000, 600. In
any case it is proved that the Democratic
tariff is failure as a revenue psoducer
and that it will be the first duty OF the
next Congress to amend it on constructive
and protective lines if progress toward ma
tional bankruptcy is to be stopped.

General Campos is finding the suppress
sion of the Cuban insurrection no holiday
affair. Spain is to spend over one hun
dred million dollars additional in order to
prop up her government Of the colony.
Years ago, when the South American
dependencies broke away from Spain, Cuba
received the title of the" Ever faithful Isle"
because she maintained her loyalty. The
cruelty and rapacity Of the Spanish repre-
sentatives, however, and the constant
draining of Cuba's wealth to enrich the
greedy mother-country, have proved too
great a trial for Cuba's patience. Spain
may, and probably will put down the
present rebellion, but at an awful cost of
lives and treasure and at the first available
opportunity the smouldering embers of
patriotism will again burst into fame and
the program of insurrecton and strife will
be repeated. 1t is"manfest destiny'for
Cuba to be free in the end, or come into
political relations with the United States.

Type-writing has been given legal
status in Pennsylvania, the last legislature
having enacted law declaring that all
type writing heretofore or hereafter eXecut-
ed or done, for any purpose whatever,
shall have the same legal force and effect
as ordinary writing, and the word "writing"
occurring in the laws of the state shall be
held to include type-writnc. For instance,
the statutes provide that all wills shall be
in writing. The question as to whether a
typewriter will is a statutory Will, and
all other possible controversies of this
nature, are avoided by this legislation.
