The reserve Of gold In the national
treasury 10 now ct the highest point
reached since 1891, and the highest in
the history of the present sdministra-
ton. TO great extent this fulness Of
coin is due to the large and unexpected
shipments from European banks during
the past three or four months, but there
is healthy look about it that cannot
but conduce to the encouragement of
all classes of citizens. Some heavy bond
issues have been necessary to keep the
national exchequer's head above water
during the past four years, but the de.
felt has been due more to exhaustive
drains of foreign shipments than to in
sufficient revenue or injudicious ex-
penditures.
A heavy and continuous stream OF
European gold this way, however, can
not be safely counted on. Sooner or
later the tide will be reversed, and the
treasury, unless fed by national re-
sources, cannot stand the inevitable
raid. Mr.. Mckinley and his Congress
will have this to look after, as well as
the silver question and protection.
Uncle Sam onght not to be compelled
to run UP bill at his grocery.

AN ECONOMIC TRUTH,

Amid all the fears OF the future which
are engendered by political contests
and excitements, it is worth while to
remember that, while certain influences
may retard, no influence short OF those
exerted by the actual dismemberment
Of the social organization, for any
length of time can actually stop the
forward movements of the nations in
dustries. Industry represents, first OF
all, the imperative need of the peop'e
for the materials which make existence
possible; and, in the second place, the
irresistible impulse Of ahle-bodied men
to supply those needs. Here we have
more than 7O,0O0.0O0 Of human beings
whose desires demand satisfaction.
That fact supplies guarantee that bust
ness will 60 on even under difficulties.
In truth, in the hardest of hard times
a vast amount of production and trad
ing is done. Probably the difference
between good times snd very hard times
is not reslly more than about two per
cent of the total commerce Of the coun-
try. Two per cent less than the CON-
plete possibility represents depression
and idleness. Put back the lost two
per cent and there will be high pros
perity. The tendency of the body
polite, in this particular matter, always
is to recuperate towards health, as the
tendency is in the human body. All
the signs now point to the immediate
operation OF this recuperative.. forcc
and complete restoration of CONNER
cial healthfulness.

Transformation of Electrical Energy.

Galvani showed that the nerves could be
traversed and the muscles contracted by a
current Of voltaic or of high tension elec-
tricity, and many later investigators con-
firmed his statements, while still Others
have shown that currents actually traverse
the muscular and nerve tissues which
originate in the body, and which, reversing
Galvani's experiment. reveal their nature
by all the tests familiar TO the physicist as
detecting the presence and measuring the
action Of electric currents from artificial
sources The potentialities of the animal
machine are developed In this direction
most strikingly in the gymnotus and many
other creatures, In which the currents are
produced in great power and intensity and
directed at will in the capture of their prey
or In self defense, sometimes disabling a
man or telling an OK by their powerful dis
charges The fact of the transformation of
energy is well illustrated in these cases by
the exhaustion of the creature when 1t has
continued this discharge of electrical ener-

authorities that all animals possess this
power of producing ana applying electric
energy in less degree. Faraday found that
the gymnotus, the electric eel, las stor-
age power equal to that of 15 large Leyden
jars. 1t is probably we'll established that
every muscle and nervo of every animal is
traversed by energy closely related to the
electric current, ard Daeuin calls this

"Clemmed," to Suffer From Cold.

North country folk have been stamped
as being peculiar because they not only ac-
count man starved whel he is slain by
hunger, but likewise when he is stricken
with cold. II MIR. G. g. Harper, author
of 1.-The Marches of Wales" may be trust
ed, he heard the word ''olemmed' used
with a similar extension of meaning in a
Shropshire village. Modal and Miners s
Lancashire Glossary has "Clem, clam
to starvc from want of food"
"Ah," said the farmer, lyon look at
our large fireplace IT'S warm here in
summer, but nation cowd In winter time,
and we'd be 'alf clemmed IL we didn't al
ways have n good large log on 1t then.
"Kleumen" in Dutch, as Modal and
Miner note, signifies to be benumbed with
cold Notes and Queries.

augurated as Governor of Michigan one
month from today, does not propose to
resign his first office, but will continue
to act as Mayor. He evidently intends
to run things in Michigan next year.
But people would think more of him if
he were to give mp the Mayoralty. His
