TROUBLES OVER
THE BOUNDARY.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. t6.-A
dispatch from Ottawa, Canada,
says there are rumors of d
serious controversy between
the United States and Canada
over the troubles in the Yukon
districts. In places such as
Forty Mile creek, where the
boundary line is supposed to
pass and where some of the
creeks are in American and
nominal Canadian territory,
it is impossible TO determine
those which belong to
Canada and those which
do not. In reference to the
charge concerning the United
States trepassers on British
territory in the Yoman and the
washing of gold In Canadian
waters, the tseasurer says that
this state Of affairs arises from
the fact that the commissioners
appointed to define the bound
airy line between the two coun
tries have not yet submitted
their report to the govern
ment.

of the community the bank is
bound to consider the best good
of the community, which it
might not be doing were it to
conduct itself as a mere lender
of money. If Mr.. A. deposits
a sum Of money in a bank it is
the right Of the bank to employ
it for it's own good, but A. not
only reserves the right TO have
his deposit paid back to him
on demand, but he has the
right to eXpec: that the bank
will not weaken it ability to
pay it back when asked for.
As we have said, experience
teaches that when business in
the community is moving along
without excitement the bank
may feel safe TO employ rs
per cent Of its depositors'
money, but ifit refuses to dis
count paper, the presumption
is that it believes it to be neces-
sary to refuse-having in mind
the utmost possible safety of
its depositors' money and the
best interests of the community.
Generally speaking, it is not
the bank that is the tyrant.

tons who are the tyrants in

AN OPPORTUNITT.

In the scarcity of tobacco
from Cuba and the PHILIPPINES,
the tobacco fields being laid
waste by the revolutions now
raging in those islands, the San
Antonio Express sees an op-
portunity for Texas planters to
engage profitably in the cult
walton of tobacco. There is no
portion of the state so we'll
adapted for this purpose as
this immediute section, border
ing upon the lower Rio Graude.
Repeated and extensive expert
ments have proven that this
soil and climate will produce a
leaf in every way equal to the
best Havana. Tobacco raised
here has brought the highest
market price in New York, and
experts visiting the tobacco
fields, which we're cultivated
here until within the past two
years, have declared without
hesitation that the product
fivaled that of Cuba in excel
lence. For lack of capital, the
experiment was abandoned
With the necessary capital and
intelligent direction, there is
no doubt that a splendid op
portunity for making fortune
in tobacco culture lies here. i
has also been demonstrated
that, owing TO the abundance
of cheap labor, of a class vel
adapted for the work, the mann
Iactule of cigars in this local
ity could be made exceedingly
profitable.

the "cross of gold" and "crown

sacrilege, should take note of
the remarks Of Mark Hanna,

election, at a recent banquet in
New York. Mr.. Hanna very
modestly spoke as follows:

that, in my opinion, Mr.. Bryan
was the hardest possible man
to beat, but he said: That may
all be true, but my faith is in

Bryan's canvass was a wonder

THE FUNCTION OF BANKS


Los Angeles (Cal. } Herald.
Bankers and those conduct
operations in the channels of
commerce and the fields OF in !
dustry do not represent antag-
onistlc interests, as some argue.
In fact. the banker is just as
necessary to the business ofthe
community as the business in
terests are necessary to the
banker, and whatever disturbs
the one binders the other. In
campaign times, more especial
ly, bankers and banking in
situations are very often spoken
of IS being hostile to the well
being of the public; that they
make times good or bad as
shall be most advantageous TO
them. But the people are com
ing to understand the relation
that exists between a bank and
the community in which it is
located, and less harm comes Of
such attacks from campaign to
campaign.
A bank whether it be bank
of note issue or not, can exert
no more influence upon trade
interchange than those who con-
duct the intercbapges are will
ing to permit it to exert. The
fact is, the bank does business
on the peoples money and not
on its own. The rule is that a
bank should have deposits ag
gregaIing not less than five
times It's capital, and that rs
per cent of the deposits is or
dinarily foanable money. But
in employing deposits on loans
or discounts the bank can take
bnt few moral risks, for il is
not it's owl funds that it is
loaning 1t is the trusted safe
deposit, so to speak, of the
deposition; besides, the deposit
or has the right to expect his
money will be tnrned over 10
him on demand, and that in
! addition thereto the bank will
advances him funds to the full
requirement of his business.
Thus tie relation betwsen a
bank and business is not only
necessarily intimate but recip
rocal.

to protect them, so that the

II a man were to don a pair Of micro
scopes as he does a pair of eyeglasses,
he would suddenly find himself confronted
by an absolutely new and most amazing
world. Not merely would everything look
hundreds of times larger than it does now,
but the face of everything would be utterly
changed and thousands, or perchance mil
lions, of new objects would appear OF which
he had never before dreamed. The clear
sunlight would be found streaming through
myriads Of huge blocks and particles OF
dirt and stone; animals of various sizes
would be flying wildly about, and such
would be the forbidding aspect Of the street

would appear. His idea of what is clean

to cut. A finely bit of polished marble or

THE MOST POWERFUL MICROSCOPE.
Precisely what q pair of eyes equipped in
such a way would view would depend o:
course upon the degree of magnifying power
Of the lens. But not wholly. Doubtless 1t
has occurred to many a reader on his first
initiation into the marvels of the microscope
that some day yet more penetrating and per
feet instruments will be devised, so that
it will at last be possible to get very close
to the mystery of things. But that is 4
dream probably destined never to be real.
lied. 1t is a remarkable paradox that even
now it is possible to magnify an object so
highly that it cannot be seen. This appar-
ent absurdity arises from the fact that the
more an object is magnified the smaller
must be the aperture through which the
object is viewed, so that it happens that an
object may be magnified to an almost in
credible degree while at the same time
there will not be enough light admitted to
perceive the image.
1t is possible that the most powerful mi
croscope that ever will be built has been
built. Very few, probably, are aware that
this instrument was made and is owned in
this country. 1t belongs to DR.. Ephriam
Cutter of New York and was made by Tolles

four years OF daily labor to perfect! This
little piece OF glass only as large as the
butt OF a needle and without any OF the
beauties Of the diamond costs $500. 1t will.
In itself, produce an image $50 times that
OF the object against which 1t is directed.
and by a simple manipulation known to
everyone who is familiar with a compound
microscope an e]yepiece may be introduced
which will magnify this image twenty
times; that Is to say. looking through such
an e~yepiece with such an objective. you will
sec an object magnifed $1,000 times its
natural size.
II is difficult to think in figures like
these. 1t means that II you could get a
postage stamp under such a glass las a
matter OF fact, OF course. you could do
nothing OF this sorO you would see it mag
nifed to the size of three or four city
blocks. Or, to use a microscopical Illus
%tration, II means that by this instrument
you may make a white corpuscle OF your
blood fill the whole field of vision-a white
corpuscle that is so small that 10000 or
10, 900 OF them laid side by side would only
suffice to measure an inch. II Is possible
by means of this instrument to detect for
eign matter, possibly organisms, In the
blood which are to these white corpuscles
in size as a pin head 20 9 cent. As you
look in the C~yepiece OF this instrument
what you see does not seem so wonderful
until you exercise your imagination a lit
tie and think of what a world OF the in-
finitely small you have entered.
Nevertheless miscropoists generally do not
believe that an instrument of such high
power gives anything like the same clear
ness or definition of an instrument of much
lower power. Thus a miscrope magnifyiug
only $500 diameters has been made of such
clearness that ii will show In fine detail
in proportion OF 1876, 900 lines to the inch,
where it is said that an instrument magni-
flying 1000 diameters will only show a de-
tail equal to 96. 600 lines to the inch. At any
rate it is certain that most uses OF the
miscroscopc cling to the lower power in
struments, and il you were to visit the Car
negie laboratory in New York or any similar
institution you would rarely find them
studying objects magniied much more than
3 1000 or 1000 ines, even in special work
not often more than 1000 times, while for
ordinary work the power would be still
lower.
