 wondorful Eyes of Insecta.

The facets" of the eye masses of some species of insects are exceedingly numerous-in some cases, in fact, the number is entirely beyond belief. Each of these- separate facets" is perfect eye. and they are so arranged as to give their insect, owner commanding view of all the cardinal points and every con- ceivable intermediate direction at one and the same time. In the ant, the lit tie creature which we have had so many curious. notee"- concerning, there are not to exceed s6o facets in the great com, pound eye. It has been argued that this IS natures provision, because the ant spends sompch of It's time underground. This may sbe true, but what is the nat uralist going to do about Blaps mucron- atas1 the, must sluggish of the European beetles? This last named creature spends ninety y-nine-hundredths of it's time in the dark. yet has a50 eye facetai Meloe, another insect of similar habits, has oyer 500 facets in each eye mass.
 ln pertain varieties of the dragon flies the aggregate of facets in the compound eye often exceeds l2, ,000. It appears to be general rule, notwithstanding, the exception cited above. that the swiftest insects have the greatest number of eye facets. The swift winged butterflies bave from 10000 to l7.0O0 in each eye mass. and the mordella, the swiftest and most active known beetle Ca resi- 'Asnt e& Britain. ). has no fewer than 25, seA6 4ecets in each sofi ihis,enoymous com pound eyes.-st.

 One of the seven wonders of the world was the white marble watch tower of pharos- of Egypt. Sostratus, the archi- tect and sculptor, after, building that watch tower, cut his name on it Then he covered it with plaster, and to please the king he put the monarch's name on the outside of the plastering, and the storms beat and the seas dashed in their fury, and they washed off the plaster ing, and they washed it out, and they washed it down, but the name of Sos tratus was deep cut in the imperishable rock. So across the face of this nation there have been great many names written, across our finances, across our religions, names worthy of fremembrance, names written on the architecture of our churches, and our schools, and our asy- lums, and our homes of mercy, but God is the architect of this continent. and he was the sculptor of all it's grandeurs, and long after-through the wash of the ages and the tempests of centuries-all other names shall be obliterated the divine signature and divine name will be brighter and brighter as the millen- niums go by, and the world shall see that the God who made this continent has redeemed it by his grace from all it's sorrows and from all Its crimes

hold their international conference at
Hartford Conn. None but secretaries ac-
lively engaged in the association work will
be admitted. There will probably be 1900
delegates present, and the various papers
and discussions will naturally bear more
directly on the duties of these officials,
although the general progress of the asso-
citation will also be considered.
California will be well represented in
both conventions, as fully twenty delegates
are to attend the sessions. San Francisco
will send about six and two have already
been selected, H. J. Mccoy, secretary of
the local association, and J. L. Spears,
secretary of the general State work.
Both of these gentlemen will take part in
the various exercises. Mr.. Mccoy will re.
spond to the addresses of welcome at the
international conference, an honor given to
California this year. He will also preside
two days at the secretaries conference.
Mr. Spears is to read several papers before
this body, the topics not having been an
nounced as yet.
The remaining delegates will be selected
next month.
The various delegates, together with
their friends, will go East by special ex-
cursion, leaving this city May 2, and Los
Angeles May 1.

The Mere Money Getter.

There is not in the world a more ignoble
character than the mere money getting
American, insensible to every duty, regard
less of every principle, bent only on amass-
ing fortune, and putting his fortune only
to the basest uses-whether these uses be
to speculate in stocks and wreck railroads
himself or to allow his son to lead life of
foolish and expensive idleness and gross
debauchery, or to purchase some scoundrel
OF nigh social position, foreign or native,
Tor his daughter. Such man is only the
more dangerous if he occasionally does
some deed like founding college or en-
downing church, which makes those good
people who are also foolish forget his real
iniquity.
These men are equally careless of the
worklngmen, whom they Cypress, and of
the state, whose existence they imperil
lhere are not very many OF them, but
there is very great number of men who
approach more or less closely to the type,
and just in SO far as they do approach they
are curses to the country. The man who
is content to let politics go from bad to
worse, testing at the corruption of poll
tlclans; the man who is content to see the
maladmlnlstration of justice without an
immediate and resolute effort to reform it.
is Sinking, his duty and is preparing the
way for Infinite woe in the future.
Hard, brutal indifference TO the right
and an equally brutal shortsightedness as
to the inevitable results of corruption and
injustice, are baleful beyond measure; and
yet they are characteristic OF great many
Americans who consider themselves per-
fectly respectable and who are considered
thriving, prosperous men by their easy
going fellow citizens Roosevelt

aiming "Alumma's Umbrella" which
was the center of much attraction. 1t is a
gigantic sunshade, the nine sections of
which are made of silk, each of different
color, and is trimmed with two rows of
rich gold lace. The whole is mounted on a
staff of solid silver nine feet long. This
gorgeous trophy was the principal perso-
nal property of Alumma, West African
chief, and was captured by British blue

blows, and Ruppel was struck over the
right eye, he says, with the butt end of a
pistol in the hands of Fredericks. The
latter says he only used his fist, but when

being arrested a pistol was found on his
person.
A charge of assault with deadly weapon
and also one of battery were placed against
him. Fredericks had permit to carry the
pistol, as in his business as teamster he
has to often carry money on his trucks for

The following table shows the month
ly receipts of the the treasury since the
enactment of the Mckinley law, and
will enable the reader to see at a glance
what the workings of the Mckinley and
Wilson laws have been. He will see that
from the enactment of the Mckinley
law until the meeting august, 1889 Of
the democratic congress whose mission
was the destruction of the tariff, the re-
ceipts seldom fell below S3O,OOO,OOO a
month, never as low as $25, 1000, 900 The
moment that congress met, however, the
receipts dropped to the unprecedentedly
low figure of s23,89O,Ss5 and in twelve
months that congress was considering
the tariff, continued at unprecedentedly
low figures. He will further observe
that, low as those figures were they are
far surpassed in their unsatisfactory
show by the receipts under the new law,
and that no eight months period in the
entire history of the Mckinley law has
produced such small receipts as the
eight months of the new law, nor can
any month be found in the record of the
old law, which produced such small re-
ceipts us those of several OF the months
under the new law.

The Chicago Mail recently sent letters

and representatives in congress-, mem
bers of the national and state commit

of legislatures, asking them if in their
opinion Grover Cleveland was q candi-
date for a third term, and, if SO, whether
he was expected to run as the democratic
or the republican candidate, or as the
candidate Of a third party formed by the
supporters Of the gold standard in both
organizations. The first installment Of
the replies shows that there are a sur
prising number of persons who believe
that Mr.. Cleveland is a third term cam
didate on the gold standard platform. It
is worthy Of note, however, thet if heiis
such a candidate he will receive little
encouragement from the republicans,
ven from those who may agree with his
financial views. The responses show
that the tariff is still the leading issue,
and that no man who has declared him
