The current issue of the Paradise OF
the Pacific, besides containing lot of
interesting reading matter regarding
Hawaii, is one of the finest pieces of
work ever turned off a press in Homo
lulu. This magazine is indeed a credit
TO the country, and the only thing to
regret is that monthly edition is not
doubled The few thousand copies now
sent over the world are by no means
sufficient to supply the many people
who are interested in gaining a more
definite knowledge of what kind of a
place this country is. 1t is by no means
placing the figure too high when it is
claimed that $4,000 copies of the Para
disc of the Pacific should be circulated
in the United States every month. The
present edition is doubtless as large as
business of the journal will permit and
the only remedy is for business men or
the Government to be more liberal in
their contributions for national adver-

4 When the reports came that Mr.. An
dree had abandoned his balloon trip to
the North Pole, for this season at least,
there were many, who had been watch
ing his antics, inclined to the opinion:
Il told you so" fAndree's season pass
ed in waiting Or favorable wind to
blow him on his course demonstrates
that balloonists who place value on
their lives must play a waiting game,
and also serves to lessen what little con-
fidence the public have gained in the
practical possibilities of any kind of
air ships. Andree could get along all
right providing the wind blew in the
proper direction and there were no
counter currents, otherwise his ma
chine would be like a rudderless ship at
sea, and as liable to land at the South
Pole or the bottom of the sea as any
where else.

Although the consensus of scientific
opinion at the present time, tends to
the belief that the X rays partake of
the nature of ultra violet light, yet no
less an authority than 'Nikola Tesla
advances a Numerically opposed the
ory; namely, that the ROentgen rays
are due to a molecular bombardment
of material particles moving with very
great velocity. Tesla bases his theory
on many experiments, which to him
appear crucial, exhibiting phenomena
incapable of explanation on an ultra
violet light basis. He further states
that he believes the material particles
composing the bombardment stream
are in some elementary condition not
heretofore known, and that perhaps
the ray may consist of streams Of the
ether of the physician.

notice being given, you may receive
equal to two dollars for one, in sums Of
even dollars due you on payday. For
example, if your envelope shows, say,
Sc due, you may draw what equals $12
in actual silver, as the Mexican dollar
is intrinsically more valuable than the
American dollar by about 4 per cent;
so, while you do not get quite two for
one on the face OF the coin, you actual
ly get two for one in real silver. You
can thus double up your weekly earn

All records of the long-winded liti-
cation appear to be broken by some
German litigants. The story is as
follows: On June q, 1896, the peasant
people of Burgsinn, small Franco
MAN hamlet in Bavaria, brought suit
at the Court of Speyer against the
Barons Won Thuegan for the possess
ion of certain body of oak and beech
land which they claimed as their own.
For 500 years, generation after gener-
alton of these poor people have man
aged to scrape together enough money
to carry on this suit against the power
full barons, and final decree was rem
dered in their favor, which went into
effect June 20, 1896, just 800 years after
the suit was begun. The tract of land
is valued at 100000. The inhabitants
of Burgsinn had big celebration on
June 81; in cOmmemoratiOn Of the ter
centenary of their lawsuit.

Keeping n Weather Eve Omen.

The Iron Age notes that recently the
manager OF n large concern called to-
gethcr It's statesmen md surprised them
by the novelty of his instructions. The
manager told the statesmen that the poll
cy OF the concern until further notice
would be to sell as little as possible.
We can easily believe this to be true.
To our knowledge practically the same
thing has been done by Wheeling mer-
chants. who have told their statesmen
not to push goods and to make their
trips with no more sales than they have
to make. The explanation Is very sim
pie.
Men do not know just what Is coming,
but they know what Is threatened and
they are not willing to take any unncc-
essary chances. They know the differ.
encc between a time OF confidence and n
time Of great uncertainty. In n time OF
confidence the presumption Is in favor
Of the buyer. IN the time OF lack OF conf
denCe the presumption Is the other way.
When everything Is going we'll ana the
sun Is shining. men push for sales: when
the clouds are dark, they stop to think
how they are going to pay for VIVA,
they have bought.
Although we may all desire another
state Of affairs. we may as well make up
our minds that until the issue OF the
present campaign shall have been de-
termincd, confidence will continue to be
impaired nnd business will continue to
be unsatisfactory. II the Popocrats
should win-wcll. there will be another
chapter to write. ana we need not be IN n
hurry to anticipate 1t.
