THE ECONOMIC HISTORY OF vIR-
GINA.

There is now in press. and TO be
issued early in January. work on The
Economic History OF Virginia" by Philip
A. Bruce, Esq. corresponding secretary
of the Virginia Historical Society
We have only seen the table Of contents
of this work. but enough Is shown 10
Indicate profound research into the so
cial. commercial industrial. and agricui-
tural conditions Of the colony of Virginia
from its settlement IN 1901 TO the year
1900.
The twenty-one chapters into which the
two volumes are divided present an ex-
haustive statement or these subjects Tor
the time covered.
The book will be fun Of interest to the
historian and the student of sociology.
In CHANGING over the contents, we see
that Mr.. Bruce has apparently deter
mined to write AS severe historian,
naught to exteauate.
There WI be some surprises disclosed

the colonial period.

A NEW ORATOR.

Very neat, inoeed: but if the Demo
cratic party can only convert its free
silver and income-tax contingent between
now and next November, we may give
Mr. Brosius a very different view OF the
case.
The Post also produces the following
specimen OF our orators wild-western
style of eloquence. In a recent speech IN
PENNSYLVANIA Brosius said:
"If Thomas Bracket Reed was as far

POPULAR SCIENCE.

THE sun has about 22s, 900 times the
mass of the earth. and the moon only
one-eightieth of this mass.
THE most probable mean density OF
the earth is 500, that is, the earth has
5.66 times the mass of an equal volume
of water.
THE outer ear of n mouse is a thin,
almost transparent membrane, and re-
cent experiments show that it is highly
sensitive to movements of the air which
to human ears do not represent sound
at all 1t is asserted on good authority
that mice are sensitive to music, and
the stories of their singing have been
fully confirmed. They have pleasant,
musical note resembling that of the
cricket.
IT is now believed, and with high
probability of the truth of the theory,
that the shooting stars which some
times fall to the earth in a semi-molten
condition are almost or wholly devoid
of heat when they enter the atmos-
phere. They are set on fire by friction
against the air, due to the rapidity of
their motion. 1t is possible that the
force of the earth's attraction solidifies
such meteors from a gaseous condition
in which they mag exist IN space.

Income Tax Case Once More Before the
United States Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, May THE supreme
court, with its full membership of nine
justices on the bench for the first time
in many months, began the hearing
yesterday of the income tax suits.
Justice Jackson, of Tennessee, who
has been absent from Washington the
greater part of the past year seeking
restoration to health, took his seat.
Extraordinary interest was attached
70 his presence, since he assumes prac-
tically the position of umpire upon the
vital question of the principle upon
which the law is based, which divides
the other justices into equal factions.
He did not appear to be feeble, but ii
was plainly evident that he was far
from being a well man, and that only
by strong effort he sat throughout
the hearing.
But two arguments are to be made
for each side-by Attorney-General
Olney and Assistant Attorney
Whitney for the government and by
w. ID. Guthrie and Joseph Choate for
the appellants, Messrs. Hyde and Pol
lock. Yesterday Mr.. Guthrie delivered
his speech and and Mr.. Whitney began
his, which he will finish to-day. As
the time assigned is five hours to each
side, the arguments will be closed
Wednesday afternoon.

thousand feet above the sea level.
They are situated in a volcanic region,
and salt water drips out through vari-
Gus crevices in the rock. The most
primitive methods are employed for
making the salt. There are little ter
races built on the hillsides, and these
are covered with fat-topped stones.
Over these clay is placed and formed
in basin shape. In these hollows on
the terrace the brine is put and is
evaporated by the atmosphere. 1t
takes about four days to clear the
water out of one of these little vessels.

Partially against Moor or Christian,

His Career Ended by a Mexican Bull In q
Ring. q
MONTEREY, Mex, May THE lion
Parnell, belonging to Col. Z. Daniel
Boone, met his death yesterday in the
Monterey bull ring at the hands of Il
Mexican fighting bull. About zoos
persons occupied seats in the amphi-
theater, and seemed to be highly graf
flied with the entertainment, though
the lion, remembering the severe pun
ishment which he received two weeks
ago, refused to make any attack what
ever. His behavior was a total sur
prise, for those who saw him in his
fight with the bear Ramidan and
witnessed the rushing tactics he
showed in his first contest with a bull,
were unable to account for his I'M
willingness to make the slightest at
tack in the fight yesterday.
Not more than three times did the
lion return to any of the numerous at
tacks made by the bull, and then only
as Il last extreme, when he was being
numerically gored. More than a
dozen times in all the lion was tossed
to the top of the cage, and the injuries
that he received caused him to die
within an hour from the time the fight
commenced
