WHEN 1T STANDS STILL.

Something VII Happen should the Earth
Cease to Revoivr.
From the st. Louis Republic.
In the Republic on Feb. we gave a
synopsis of DIR. SlavonskPs queer pa
per, entitled "A Mathematical Proof of
Immortality" One striking feature OF
that article was an allusion to Pro-
fessor Thompson's belief in the theory
that all planets will eventually come TO
a standstill. In other words, that a
day will arrive when the great system
of worlds will cease to revolve upon
their axes and to make their regular
periodical revolutions around the sun.
When that time comes, IL ii ever
should, all motion will cease, and the
universe will be at rest. Our finite
minds cannot comprehend such state
of affairs, but the philosophers give
what they call good proof that such an
era is fast approaching. Primarily
the case interests only so far as il ap-
plies to the motion of our own little
world. but we have been told that
whatever affects the other spokes OF
the great wheel will surely affect us
sooner or later So Ii is with our
world as respects the others. II there is
"a retarding medium in space" that is
causing a gradual slowing up of the
eanh's movements, as all the great as
tronomers declare, that same me
dunn is at work slowly but surely de-
creasing the axial and other motions
of the sun and his whole vast systems
of worlds.
Newton's great mind conceived the
idea that the friction of the tides and
'other forces calculated to retard
motion" were having their effect on the
earth's axial as well as its annual revo>
lutions, but the majority of great think
ers of his time and of the last hundred
years have argued that such motion

The Pardoning Power.

The great cry being sent out over
the country that Gov. Altgeld has
pardoned more criminals than any
other governor the state ever had,
is not borne out by the following
taken from the Springfield Register:
The records and reports in the va
rious departments Of the state show
that for the 20 years ending Jan. 1,
1898, the average number Of prison
oners in the pcnitentiary Of the state
was 1,s6s per year. During those
20 years there we're 1878 pardons
and combinations granted, making
an average OF S3S per year or about
4 5-lO per cent each year OF the num-
Der OF convicts in prison. For the
years 1898. 1894 and 1895 the aver
age number of convicts in our peni-
tentiaries was 2.1S2. During those
years there were 2l6 pardons and
combinations granted. making an
average Of ~ per year, and that be-
ing about $40 per cent Of the av-
erage number OF convicts in the PEN
itentiaries for those years.
II thus appears that in proportion
to the number Of convicts in the pen
itentiaries there were on an average.
every year for 20 years. about S6l
per cent more pardons and commuta-
lions granted prior to Jan. /, 1898
than have been granted since that
time.

The first case is a test case of the
law created by the Thirty-ninth gen.
eral assembly closing all barber
shops in the state Sunday. Several
proprietors in Chicago opened their
shops Sundays and won their cases in

will be warmly contested before the
supreme court. Assistant Attorney
General Newell will have charge OF

THE year 1895 was an exception
ally good one for the Fall River cot
ton mills. The dividends paid by
3S corporations average 500 per
cent, which is the hes. record made
since 1889. 1t is worth noting that
the mill which made the third larg-
est distribution Of profits to stock
holders the last year is operated for
the employees on the profit sharing
plan. The Bourne mill has just dis
tributed its 18th semi-annual divi-
dend to employees. amounting to Z per
cent on the total wages earned in the
six months. And then it has been
able to pay stockholders 10 per cent
on capital for the whole year. This,
too. under the operation Of the Will
son tariff law.
