ACTION OF The RAIN.
The Wonderful Factor 1t Is In the Disin-
tegration of Rocks.

The Wonderful Factor 1t Is In the Disan-
tegration of Rocks.
The rain falling on the rocks sinks in
to every crack and crevice, carrying
with it into these assures surface mate
rial which has been degraded by the
weather, and thus affording a matrix
sufficient to start the growth of vegeta-
ton and afterward to maintain the
plants. The fibers and roots of these
plants, bushes and trees thus brought
into life, growing and expanding, act
as wedges to split up the surface of the
rock and to commence the process of
wearing away. From this quality of de-
struction a large class of plants derive
the name of saxifrages, or rock break
ers, from their roots penetrating into the
minute assures in search of water, and
so assisting in the process of disintegra-
ton. In winter the water collected in
the hollows and crevices becomes froz-
en-, and expanding as it changes into
ice acts like charge Of blasting mate
rial in breaking up the rock. The pieces
thus detached become further disinte-
grated by frost and weather, and, being
rolled over and over and rubbed against
each other as they are carried away
down the mountain torrents, are ground
gradually smaller and smaller, till from
fragments Of rock they become bowlers,
then pebbles and finally sand. As the
mountain stream merges into the river
the pebbles and coarse sand continue to
be rolled along the bottom of the chan
mel, while the ragillaceous particles and
salts become mingled with the water
and flow on with it either in suspension
or solution.
While this disintegratinR process is
going on inland the rocks and cliffs on
the coast exposed to the sea are suffer-
ing degradation by similar process and
are also being worn away by the inces-
SAINT action Of the waves Of the ocean
beating on them and attacking them,
not only with the impact of the water,
but also with the fragments broken off,
which, dashed against the face from
which they have been eroded, are thus
used as implements of destruction.

II the republican party had car

years ago they would not have won

The panic Of 80 would have come
just the same IL Harrison had been
reelected. II was moving on the
country with an irresistible sweep,
plainly observed during the last two
years Of Hsrrison's administration.
1t was in evidence in diminishing
the gold reserve and the fna ncial
pinch which became acute during the
last weeks Of Harrison.
The outflow Of gold became no.
ticeable within a year or two after
Harrison became president and con-
tinued with an accelerating ratio to
the end Of his term. It was caused
by diminishing confidence in the
stability Of our currency and greatly

cessor the duty of negotiating loan
made necessary by republican laws
administered by republican presi-
dent.
The panic Of 1898 was q republican
creation. 1t would have come if
Harrison had been reelected and
run its course probably with greater
violence, as Harrison. being a much
weaker personality, would not have
been able to do so much as Cleve-
land did to stay its destroying
course.
1t was inevitable that the demo-
cratic party should suffer for being
in power when the storm came, as
the masses to not nicely study
causes, but put the blame for hard
times on the party in charge of the
government just when the cyclone
strikes.
In the elections since the panic the
voters have entirely ignored the
criminal, laundering policies OF the
previous administration. which were
the efficient cause Of the disaster and
suffering precipitated on them.
The democratic party is atoning
vicariously for sins committed by
the republican party during the Har-
rison term, which left a bankrupt
treasury and panic forces so far de.
veloped that no human power could
stay them.
The defeat suffered by the repub.
lican party in 1892 was the most for
tunatc thing that could have hap
pened to that party. 1t came just
in time to save it from bearing the
responsibility for disasters which
were the direct result of the treas
ury-looting. MISUNDERSTANDING
policies OF the Reed congress and
Harrison's administration thereof.
The republican party for three
years has protited by the calamities
1t brought on the country. 1t re-
mains calamity party. Its hopes
for next year depend on the preven-
ton or delay Of the industrial and
commercial recovery which has set
in under democratic administration.
Good times next year mean demo-
cratic success. Hard times and re-
publican success must come togeth-
er-that party stands little chance of
winning save as continued industrial
depression goads the masses to vote
for "chapge."

African Mahogany.

Mahogany, cut from the forests dis
covered by Stanley in his expedition for
the rescue of Emin Pasha, now reaches
this country. These forests are said to
he inexhaustible and are probably of
equal, perhaps of greater, value than
the richest gold or diamond mines of
the dark continent. Capitalists were
interested in Stanley's account, and a
furnishing trade in the timber has re-
suited. Prices OF mahogany products
were in fair way to rise to excessive
figures until the cutting began in Africa.
This has only been within the past year,
but prices have already fallen 20 per
cent. A carload was recently delivered
at Louisville at q net cost Of $50 per
1000 feet, whereas it has been a COM
mon thing for mahogany to sell at auc-
ton i'll Liverpool for 500 per 1000.
Heretofore the principal sources of sup
ply have been the forests of Central
America, Cuba, San Domingo and Bra
I'll. Already $4,000, 900 feet have been
cut and exported from Africa, and the
trade promises to yield an immense rev.
enue to the British and French colonists,
who have seized the mahogany terri
tory. This African mahogany has a
pinkish tinge in contrast to the reddish
yellow color of the American varieties.
The trees are very large, and logs re-
ceived in the shipment mentioned were
feet to 81 feet in size. They are
squared before being exported.
