Learning by Sight.

Danton, the celebrated caricaturist, had
wonderful power of modelling from
memory. After one long look at his sub
ject he could go to his studio and make a
bust quite perfect in its resemblance.
One day young man came to him,
saying that his sister was i'll and aboutt to
die, and that although the family wished
her bust modelled, they dared not excite
her by mentioning it. Would he under
take to reproduce her features after seeing
her onceF Danton agreed, and next day
the brother informed his sister that he in
tended to present her with some jewels,
and that a young man would bring some
specimens for her approval
Dauton brought in the jewels, and 60
ing home modelled bust of striking re-
somblance. Next year an old gentleman,
the father of the young woman, came to
order a bust of the brother, who also had
died. This, too, was marvellous success.
The result of such planning, however,
was not always as satisfactory to his pa
irons as in these cases. A gentleman who
could not persuade his wife to sit asked
Danton to enter a certain omnibus one
day and fix in his memory the features of
the lady opposite him.
He did so, modelled a beautiful bust and
sent it home. 1t proved, however, TO be
not the mistr SO, hc5 the maid, who had
also taken the trip in the omnibus

A series Of experiments mado to test the
jaw force and pulling and lifting strength
of various kinds of insects gives some Gu
rious points for study. 1t has been found
that a cockchafor can draw IA times his
own weight and the common honeybee 80
times From this it may be argued that,
weight for weight, each of the above
named insects is 21 and 30 times respec-
lively stronger than the horse, whose
strength, as a rule, is taxed to its utmost
in drawing its own weight as a dead
load" The editor of this department of

creature, not more than one-third of an

upon it was found that the little Hercules
had lifted $50 times his own weight He
did not carry the weight, of course, but

HARRISBURG, Jan 24-Bills continue to
pour into the Legislature to perpleX those
members who are anxious foI short Sos
sion Little else was done in the house
yesterday but TO offer new bills, present
reports from committees and petitions
from various sections of the common
wealth praying for the enactment of GER
tain legislation. In the senate nearly an
hour was occupied in presenting petitions
and remonstrances and the transaction of
other unimportant business.
A special session of the senate was held
in the afternoon, at which memorial adj
dresses were made on the death of the late
Senator George Ross, of Bucks. The SEN
ate then adjourned until Monday evening
In the house n bill relative to the con-
struction of tenement houses in cities of
the first class was offered by Mr. Ritter of
Philadelphia. 1t provides that the open
space Of such buildings is to be equal to 20
per cent Of the area of the lot, and that it
must not be obstructed by an overhangng
structure. When che tenement is at the
intersection of two streets the open space
is to be 10 per cent of the area and six
feet along tho side. Water closets are re-
quired to be placed in every suite of rooms
Other bills introduced were: To com
pei pawnbrokers to report daily to the po-
lice all articles pawned with description
of the persons pawning them; appropri-
ating S570451 for the expenses of four
election contests decided by the Legislature; /;
adding % per cent. to overdue taxes; pro
viding for the election of township treas
urers
There was considerable discussion on a
resolution offered by Mr. Goblin, of Leba-
non, providing for the appointment of a
committee of three senators and five mem
bers to inquire into charges Of improper
bookkeeping and contract letting and
other wrong doing at the Norristown In
sane hospital. The resolution was adopted,
modified so rs TO include in the proposed
investigation the conduct of the Werners-
vile Chronic Insane asylum.
Among the bills introduced in the sem
ate were: To prohibit persons from stand
ing in aisles of theatres, and providing
punishment for persons selling tickets
without seats; authorizing the formation
Of loan associations such as exist in Eu-
rope; for the creation of board of inspec-
tors for regulation of light heat ana
power companies, and providing for the
! appointment of supervisor at a salary of
$1,000 year.
Among the bills passed finally was one
to punish bankers, brokers or any officer
of an insolvent national state or private
4 bank for receiving deposits.

THE com plete statement of foreign com
merce in December and in the calendar
year 1894 possesses more than usual inter
est bee use of the heavy outgo of gold 1t
is impossible to escape the conclusion that
gold las been driven out of the country in
December and January by financial
foolishnes- at Washington. The outgo
began in the very week in which the
President and Secretary of the Treasury
started the agitation for state banks and
a monetary revolution. Gold had been
coming to the country in the thr e
months September, October and Novem-
Der, though not largely. It was strong
evidence indeed, that there was still much
foreign distrust of American securities
when the value of gold received in this
country amounted to only $500, 900, while
the merchandise balance for the same
three months was over 100000, 900. In the
month of December again the excess OF
exports was So, $40 12G, and this followed
an excess of $299s2, SIG in November and
an excess of So. .632 sl5 in October. Thui
in the last quarter of the year merchandis,

SECRETARY CARLISLE now asks that tie
law requiring him to reissue notes of the
same denominations as those redeemed
be repealed by clause in the Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill. This is an utterly
improper mode of legislating on the cur
rency question. If the Democratic
majority cannot drive the country to a
silver basis by open action, it should not
be permitted to do so by stealth and in
directly. OF course the Secretary at
tempts no concealment of his purpose,
which is to suppress the legal tender aud
Treasury notes of the smaller dsnom-
nations, issuing instead notes of larger
denominations to an equal amount. This
would gradually deprive the millions Cf
such NOES as they require in daily use,
and force them TO use silver certificates Of
the smaller denominations instead of
notes redeemable in gold. 1t is a thing
which ought not TO be done, either openly
or s'ealthily But if soradical change
as that is to be made in our currency
laws, it ought to be made openly and
with due delibcrstioD, not under a spec s
of compulsion because an appropriation
bill IS pending, nor through the ignorance
or inatteution of men who may easily fail
to realize that long step toward the
silver standard is threatened in such a
measure. 1t is unjust that the risk Of
depreciation in the silver paper should be
thrown upon the waIeearning millions.
Tue very presence of a vastly increased
volume Of such paper would seriously in.
crease the risk, and so retard restoration
of confidence and of business. The thing
ought not to be done in any shape, and
if attempted in an appropriation bill, that
bill ought to be killed, if necessary by re-
sort to all parliamentary devices for delay.

Professor Charles F. Thwing contrib
utes to The Forum a suggestive paper
on the rapidly increasing cost Of a col
lege education in America. In 1850 the
Harvard student was allowed 1.-TWO
sizzes of bread" for his breakfast. AT
dinner he had a pound Of meat and half
pint of beer. For supper there was an
additional half pint of beer and part
pye." The favorite New England dish
reigned even in those days. Let not An
glomania dislodge it'll
At Harvard the annual expenses of a
student in 1880 were SIG, In 1898
they ranged for an economical student,
from $4S4 to $807 1t appears that it is
becoming harder and harder for a poor
young man or woman to get a college
education. The cost of it for one year is
greater than the average income Of an
American family for year.
Mr. Thwing makes one statement
which we are inclined to doubt He says
most people would be glad Of an eduoa-
tion if they could get it, Perhaps so,
but not a college education Observation
shows that the average person cares
nothing at all about college training.
Even in the public schools most pupils
are wild with joy at the prospect of the
ending Of their school days, and a large
proportion drop out Of instruction alto.
gether just as soon as the law allows,
often before, under one pretext or an
other. AT the same time, we beg leave
to observe that the American college
course has not yet become so expensive
that the ablobodied young American
man or woman who is bent on securing
it is unable to do so. Those to whom a
course of classics and sciences is the one
glittering goal worth attaining are still
able to accomplish their aim by work
ing i'll one way or another to get the
money to support them while they are
at college If that We're not so, we
should indeed despair of the future Of
this republic.
The added cost Of the college training
is largely due to the added articles now
necessary for the students comfort, to
| greater expense for food and clothing.
The pay Of college professors has also
mounted up from 81, 900 year at the
time of the American Revolution to from

laboratories are a hundred times as ex-
pensive, a hundred times as efficient as
they were a century ago. Still Thoma.
