Alleged Strength of the A. 7. A

The New York Herald of Jan. 81,
publishes an account of the meeting
of the superior council of the Ameri
can Protective Association for New
York state held in the city of Roches
ter and the following intere sting and
significant facts. They claim
total voting strength in N. Y. of 313,-
600 and in the nation of 100000.
This magnificent showing politicians
and political parties see plainly they
cannot afford to despise or antagonize.
The American Protective Association
is non-partisan; they make no nomin-
ations of their own but endorse the
candidacy of such men as are personae
gratae to them. In canvas of presi-
Dental possibilities, among republi-
cans, Thos. B. Reed is not acceptable
because of his utterances against the
order; but no objections are recorded
against ex-Gov. Mckinley, Senator
Allison, Gov. Morton, Robt. T. Lin
coin or Gov. Bradley. The associa-
ton will demand as the consideration
for its support of any nominee of any
party for President that the platform
of the national convention OF that
party shall reafirm the principle of
the total separation of church and
state, the restriction of immigration
and the reform of the laws regarding
citizenship and the right of franchise.
It will demand, too, that such party
shall reaffirm its faith in the Ameri-
can public school system as the basis
of liberty and prosperity.
The allied orders make claim to a
membership representing more than
one-fourth of the voting population of
the United States. They assert that
they hold absolutely the balance oil
power, and that it is in their power tc
elect or defeat any Presidential nom.

The Power for the SaWmill.

The Puget Sound Lumberman adj
vises the lumbermen and shingle own
ers of Washington and Oregon to keep
a weather eye open for improvements
in electrical transmission, and espec-
tally for such devices as will make
electrical power available for use in
the woods. Beyond question:" says
that publication, "this is the power of
the future and we have not the slightest
doubt that in the next five years or so
half, and perhaps more than half, of
the mills of the North Pacific coast
will be run by this means. Electricity
is by far the cheapest motive agent
which has yet been discovered, and
the only drawback to its wide use
hitherto has been the difficulty of
utilizing it at any great distance from
the point of generation.
Nov, however, experiments have
been successfully carried on to send
electrical power to distances of 100
miles or more. Already in many parts
of the United States this power is con-
veyed at low cost up to distances of
twenty, thirty and even forty miles.
We do not see any reason why the vast
water power resident in the tumbling
streams and deep waterfalls of Wash
ington and Oregon should not, even
now, do an immense amount of work.
We believe the time is not far distant
when lumberman, having a large
area of forests to attack, will find it
economical, to set up a water power
and an electric plant and do all his
logging, and hauling and cutting as
we'll, by electricity.
"The schemes now on foot to- utilize
the wasted energy Of Snoqualmie falls
and of Cedar lake are only forerunners
of the time when almost every bit of
available water power in the state will
be utilized; and as it mostly happens
that this water power is in close juxta-
position to the forests, its use for the
generation OF electricity for the lum-
herman is peculiarly easy and affords
very economical and very handy
power. For that matter, we do not
see why trees themselves should not
be cut down by electrical saws, and
the entire work of conversion into
commercial lumber, the logging. haul
ing and mill work be done by this
marvellous new energy"

1900 Not a Leap Year.

"Women must make the best use OF
their time possible in the enjoyment OF
the especial privileges accorded to
them during the leap year of 1896, in
asmuch as they will lack another OPP
portunity until 1904, eight years later"
says,the Baltimore American.
1t was all settled years ago, when
the final changes in the calendar were
made, and to understand that no
enmitv against woman was intended,
an understanding of reckoning the
year is necessary.
The primeval system of reckoning
tinae was based on the moons changes,
as is shown in our word month" BY
the ruling of the nc nine months
were reckoned with either twenty OF
thirty days. Soon The rotation OF the
seasons was made to- serve as stand
ard.
1t soon appeared, however, that the
two systems did not fully agree II
was then that it was found Deces sary
to invent some means of adjustme Mt.
One of the earliest means dev lseo
was that in use among the Egyptians
By their arrangement the year was
made up of the seasons, and included
365 days, with twelve months of thirty
days EACH In order to fill out the
lack arising from the system of
months, five supplementary days were
added at the end of the year.
julius Caesar, in the year 46 B. c.,
devised the calendar which bears his
name. in his system the year had
365 days, save every fourth, which had
366 days, making the average about
3654 Exactly reckoned, the year was
made up OF 365 days, 5 hours and As
minutes and 80 seconds, or eleven
minutes and 10 seconds less than 3654
Caesar gave also the current num-
Der of days to the month, and his
calendar as whole was so excellent
and its errors were so slight that it
was generally adopted.
Until the year 1882 A. d. no change
was made in it but by that time the
eleven minutes and 10 seconds of error
in each year had grown to ten COM
plete days.
AS a result the time of Easter was
shifted from its true place, and all the
movable feasts of the church which
are reckoned from it were thrown out
of the proper order.
To correct the resultant annoyance
Pope Gregory XIII. ordered that Oc-
tober 5, 1882, should be reckoned as
October Is, 1882
To guard against a recurrence OF
the trouble, Pope Gregory also decreed
that every Tooth yoar should not be a
leap year, save every 4O0th, but that
exception beginning only at 1000 A
ID.
The excellence of Gregory's device is
obvious, since Il brief computation
shows that the total discrepancy by
his calendar would amount to no more
than one day in 5000 years.
