1 Rilins a bicycle Asleep.

Lemuel Dock, son Of the proprietor
of the Eagle hotel at Pennington, N.
j., rode his bicycle asleep. He is an
expert bicycle rider, and last week on
the night Of the full moon he arose in
his sleep and wheeled all the way to
Bound Brook, where he arrived about
R:45 o'clock. AS he wore a nightgown
and nothing else his appearance as he
passed down the main street created
q sensation. Head Constable McSally
woke him up in front of the station of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
and he was loaned a suit of clothes by
Yardmaster Flagg. He was also given
free transportation home on the rail-
road, distance Of about sixteen miles.

EGGS AND SILVER.

East oregonlan.
The hens OF the United States lay
$40, 100000 worth Of eggs year. This
beats the silver mining industry all "hol-
ler," and yet no one ever thinks Of maxi
ing eggs anything but commodity. II
gold and silver were stamped as TO weight
and fneness, into UNCONVENTIONAL
quantities, and not into money, the row
between gold and silver would cease and
congress, the law-makers and mixers,
would have less to do than ever before.
AS soon as an attempt is made to do
one thing for one mans product by law
and deny II to another's, privilege Is
set up and justice is set back to that ex-
tent. The products of mines, while the
mines themselves are private property,
should never be made into money at
the expense Of the people. In brief, in
stead of silver being made a free
coin," gold should be demonetized and
both be stamped by the government as
to weight and fineness, with charges to
cover the service for whomever per-
formed. and nothing more. This done,
the financial question would become a
very simple proposition to- all.

NICARAGUA CANAL COST.

Few people know that the estimated
cost of the Nicaragua canal is 100000 900,
and that it will take six years to build
It, and that the estimated traffic through
1t at the opening will be 100000 tons,
but such is the case. The canal in ex-
cavation is 20.6S miles in length; the
length of the basins is A.6 miles; Lake
Nicaragua, 56.5 miles; the length Of the
San Juan river 64.5 Few also, perhaps.
know that the distance from Liverpool to
San Francisco, via the Nicaragua canal
Is only 1904 miles, or a saving OF 996
miles, or that the distance from Me-
York to San Francisco via the cape horn,
Is 1880 miles, and the same distance be-
tween the same points by. the canal route
is only 4,9i6 miles, or saving OF 1884
miles. The completion of this canal
means to Oregon thirty-day service by
steamer between Portland and New
York and New England; it means that
the products of forests Of the west will
be laid down in the markets Of the east
at living prices, and that the staple COM
modities will be brought to this coast
at the minimum Exchange.

TO MODIFY CLIMATE.


The latest scheme for modifying the
severity of the northern climate is sys-
TEN of steel tubing through which air
shall be pumped from the tropics and
the Arctic circle. Strange as 1t may seem,
this. plan has not emanated from the
brain of a confessed crank, but is the
invention of no less a scientist than Prof
Crocker, of Columbia college. Prof.
Crocker advances as a special argument
in favor of the plan that the hot or cold
air could be turned or at will and would
produce, by condensation and the re-
verse, any desired humidity. In other
words, rain could be produced at any
time by the judlcious application of one
temperature upon another. This sounds
well; but, after all, would 1t not be an
embarrassing privilege that Of making
weather? The one thing which humanity
has an honest right to rail aglinst Is
the weather, inasmuch as 1t has no re-
sponsibility concerning 1t. Decidedly,
such an arrangement would be to intro
duce a new and never falling bone OF
contention into society
