MAMMOTH College.

Maynooth college, the famous training
college of the Irish priesthood, has just
celebrated the centenary of its foundation.
The institution was established In June,
1895, by the imperial government as an
act of state policy to secure and retain on
The side of England in the management Of
Ireland the influence of the Catholic church
In that country. During the greater por-
ton of the seventeenth century the Irish
priests were compelled by the penal laws
passed by the Irish parliament against
Roman Catholics to go abroad for their
education. They were trained for the
ministry in colleges at Paris, Lisbon and
Salamanca, which had foundations estab-
llshed for their education and support
principally by the French, Spanish and
Portuguese socerelgns.
At the outbreak Of the French revolu-
tion there were as many as 34S Irish &C.
clesiastical students In Paris out Of total
of 47S on the continent, and one of the re-
suits of that tremendous social upheaval
was the closing of the Irish college and the
dispersal of Its students. The Irish Roman
Catholic bishops naturally viewed this
state of things with alarm, for 1t might
mean at least serious diminution in the
supply Of priests for missionary work in
Ireland. They were desirous of having
the priests educated and trained at home
under their own immediate control; but,
though the legal ban against the education
of Roman Catholic ecclesiastics in Ireland
had just been removed, to establish and
support a college for the purpose were ut
terly beyond their financial means. They
therefore approached the government on
the subject. ct.-Contemporary Review.

Scientific work is q great thing, to be
sure, but it does not compare with that Of
common sense for practical purposes. The
object of the expense of the new terrace of
the capitol at Washington was to improve
the proportion between the immense dome
and the squatty building, but the accom-
plishment of that object was prevented by
making the steps, constituting nearly the
whole of its front, of dark colored slate,
and stranger still, by planting trees on
the top Of It, the absurdity Of the latter
being so apparent that they were removed
at once.
When the improvement Of the Potomac
flats in front of Washington was COM
menced, practical engineers said the
ground to be reclaimed should be sur
rounded by row Of piles driven close to-
gether and riprapped on the inside. But
scientific engineers did the riprap work
without piles, the consequence being that
the bottom of the new ground, being made
Of silt, is constantly forcing its way back
into the channel under the rocks and has
to be dredged out every year OF two.
An enormous sum of money has been
expended In the erection of q new "fre.
proof" postofice building in Washington,
but when the walls, composed solely Of
stone and iron, were completed the scien-
tiflc architects put an immense roof on it
composed Of pine wood. Science is great,
and its abiding place is Washington.

Uncultfvated Ideas.

The testimony of educated deaf mutes
regarding some of their ideas before in
struction is very interesting. Some fan
cied the wind was blown from the mouth
of an unseen being. A number supposed
that rain and lightning were caused by
men in the sky pouring down water and
firing guns. One who had seen -four fall
ing In q mill thought that snow was
ground from mill in the sky. Some
thought the stars were candles or lamps
lighted every evening by Inhabitants of
the heavens. Only one said she had "tried
to think" about the origin Of the world
and its Inhabitants. All had great ter
ror of death and being put in the grave.
One had been haunted by fear that she
might awake In the grave and be unable
to call for help. One thought death was
caused by medicine administered by the
doctor. Deaf mutes have refused to go to
bed Ill from observing that sick persons
have taken to their beds before death.
Those who were taken to church by their
parents said they had little idea before
education of the purpose of this assembly.
One testified, II thought that the people
were in the church to worship the clergy

There Is Sugar In Tobacco.

The last number Of The Kew Bulletin
contains some particulars Of very inter-
esting problem which some years ago was
submitted by the treasury to the Kew au-
thorities.
The question was, Does natural sugar
occur In tobaccoS and In the investigation
of this point some striking facts have been
brought to light The treasury authorities
were of course chiefly intsrested from fls-
cal point Of view, the duty on tobacco,
other than cigars, being as. 3d., except In
the case Of "sweetened" tobacco, which Is
charged at As. 10d., but cigarettes made of
the sweetened article are not allowed to
be imported at ALL Before this inyestiga-
tion it was generally admitted that tobacco
did not contain more than a trace Of sac
charine matter.
On the advice of Professor Church, DR..
Hugo Miller was called in, the latter max
ing thorough examination Of the ques.
tion. Commercial samples of bright Vir-
ginia tobacco, undoubtedly free from adul.
teration, were found to contain as much
as 1873 per cent of saocharine matter. Sun
dried leaves Of nicotiana tabacum, grown
at Kew, contained 6.9 per cent, and those
of the same species grown at Ewell railway
station as much as per cent. DR.. Miller
finds the saccharine matter to be optically
inactive when tested by the polariscope.
He Is of the opinion that neither cane sugar
nor glucose is present In the saccharine
matter, but that 1t is composed of at least
three sugarlike substances, probably hith-
erto unknown. London Chronicle.

A Question Of shfpa.

The fundamental principle Of naviga-
ion, and therefore the controlling ele-
nentary Inv Of maritime strategy, Is the
physical law of displacement-thet float
ing vessel invariably weighs neither more
DOR less than the quantity Of water which
It's immersed part displaces. II is oonse-
,uence of this law that the weight of
Ihip Of given size Is constant Within GER
lain limits a builder may distribute the
weight as he pleases He may assign so
much Co hull, so much to engines Of pro-
pulsion and the remainder to cargo. For
lgiven speed the weight of engines for
hips of the same size will be much the
Iame. The builder therefore must choose
between assigning weight to hull or giving
Il TO cargo. A very strong hull means re-
luced carrying capacity, great carrying
capacity means hull of the Hghtest pos
sible construction. To these elementary
conditions is due the difference between a
ship of war and merchant ship. The
merchant ship must necessarily be con-
structed to carry the greatest weight Of
cargo possible consistent With hull strong
enough for navigation and with propul-
sion sufficient for the speed required In its
business.
The moment the hull is unnecessarily
strengthened the ship will cease to be able
to compete as carrier with other ships Of
the same size and speed which, having
lighter bulls, can carry more cargo. A
ship built with hull specially strength
ened in order to withstand the various
shocks of battle cannot in peaceful trade
pay as a commercial enterprise and the
merchant ship, with its hull lightened
down to the margin of safety, can never
be exposed to the same rough treatment
for which the man-of.war with Its specially
strengthened framework is prepared.-Na-
| tional Review.

Salt In the Air of the seashore.

In order to ascertain whether air of the
seashore contains salt In any appreciable
quantity, French scientist has made a
series of experiments. By means of these
be proved that In dead calm seashore air
has no salt. 1t Is only when there are high
winds from the sea that there is salt In
the atmosphere. To determine this, salt
air was passed through solution of silver
nitrate. 1t caused not the least cloudiness
of the atmosphere, oonolusively proving
that there was no salt In the air. In high
winds sea spray Is carried into the atmos.
phere, where 1t Is diffused into the fine
particles and holds the salt for time In
the damp air, but as soon as the wind SUBJ
sides the salt, being heavier than the at
mosphere, settles. Therefore, to receive
the most benefit from salt air, IL Is neoes-
sary to go where winds are continually
blowing. 1t has been demonstrated that
windy localities by the sea are very much
more inVigorating than those where there
are continuous calms, but heretofore the
reason Of this has not been made clear

The Russian Policeman In PodoIia.

Polish gentlemen In Podolia have since
the last rising in 1853 been hemmed in by
SO many restrictive laws and subjected to
so many disabilities that 1t would be al
most impossible for them to live on their
estates were the police to insist on the
strict execution of the laws Nor would
the officials themselves have happy time
of 1t. They are isolated among Polish
population, far from any Russians except
the police under them and are very i'll
paid, so they, too, would fare badly unless
a modus vivendi were established with tho
Polish gentry. To the credit Of both sides
1t is, believe, fact that no money bribs
ever passes directly between them, but the
Poles have many ways of rendering life
more pleasant to the solitary official.
Presents Of game, fruit and wine and
loans OF skilled labor, which in many large
districts is only found among the en-
ployees on the estates, are considered legiti-
mate offerings Of good will. 1t is also rec
ogniged thing at Polish houses that these
officials are, If possible, to be allowed to
win at cards. They cannot but enjoy,
too, the various charming gatherings Co
which they are invited for such Is the in
nate courtesy Of Polish gentleman that I
never saw the slightest Indication that
these representatives of hated govern
ment were not honored guests. Black.

Torn Out Of Broadway Amer Rifteen Years
Of Enort by City Employees.


There Il a story behind a small iron post
which was recently removed from In 'front.'
OF the cigar store at 1911 Broadway By
the bureau Of incumbrances. Fifteen years
ago the theatrical advertising agents in
this city were having hard time Of It
securing desirable spots In which TO plnce
their paper. The regular billboards were
good enough for the big three shelters, but
It was difficult to place many OF the single
posters, owing to the vigilance of tho pub
lie works department officials, who would
rip up signboards and other mediums OF
advertising as fast as they were put down.
1t was Charles Welsh, now advertising
agent at Hoyt's theater, who finally solved
the problem. He bought a six foot iron
post and one dark night carried it up
Broadway to 1911. Two Isborors who
were along with him then pulled ~ one
of the flagstones near the curb, and with
pick and shovel dug four foot hole IN the
ground. The post was placed in the hole,
bit of the flagstone Was knocked oct tc
make it fit, and then the earth was packed
tightly around IL and the stone was low.
cred In place. Two signboards were next
tied to the post and singh posters pasted
on them, so that people going up and
down Broadway could see the advertise
ments.
The next day the public works people
sent word to the station house TO haze the
post removed. The policeman who went
around to attend to 1t tugged at the two
feet of iron projecting above the sidewalk
for about 10 minutes and then gave up,
contenting himself with ripping off the
signs. The next week two L%erers we're
sent up to remove the post, and they
banged at 1t with sledge hammers and
tugged for all they were worth, with no
results. They couldn't bulge the post.
Welsh looked on with smile all the Sime,
and billposters replaced the signs as fast
as they were torn down.
On an average of two or three times each
year for Is years an order has been issued
for the removal of the post, but mono Of
the laborers sent up accomplished any
thing. The regulars on Broadway have
called it Welsh's post for years and 1t has
been Welsh's habit to dof his hat to 1t ev-
cry time he passed up or down the street.
But an end came to the prosperity of the
post at last. The reform incumbranoe
bureau ordered 1t removed, and the third
gang of laborers sent up raised the flag
stone, and after four hours of work dug
up the post and carted it away Welsh
was heartbroken when he heard that it
was gone, and the post has been sadly
missed by the regulars, who had come to
regard 1t as landmark.-New York Sun.

CUMMINGS DEER tlUNT.
It Began In October, 1893, and the Deer
Is Still TantalIzing Cummings.

The persistency Of Howard G. Cum
mings has no equal in Waldo county, Me.
He lives at the upper end of Blanket lane,
q narrow, winding road that stops on o
knoll under two pine trees. Beyond this is
half township of unbroken forest, into
which Cummings Is In the habit Of going
for game.
Deer are scarce in the tract, but two
years ago last fall Cummings saw one-a
great horned buck with q black stripe
down his back-whioh was enough to ban
ish sleep for week. The deer hunt start
ed in October, 1893, and ended at the close
of open season, Dec. 81, at which time the
deer was left hiding in the woods of Unity,
away over on the borders Of Kennebec
county, some 90 miles from where he was
found. Cummings had hardly hung up
his gun and started to cut bis winter 8
firewood when he saw that striped buck
deer back among the clearings. AS it was
against the law to shoot deer he waited for
open time to come around.
Meanwhile the Maine legislature met
and amended the game laws SO no deer
could be killed In Waldo county for ten
years. Cummings was SO mad when he
read the new law that he took on oath to
stay away from the polls while the act
was In force. Then he concentrated his
endeavors toward getting the striped deer
In order to kill the buck legally Cum
mings knew be must do his shooting In
open time and outside of the county. His
first duty was to drive the deer beyond the
county line The drive was started in o.
tober; 1894, and before December the deer
was safely landed among the hills of Dix
mont, Penobscot county. Cummings
camped here two weeks and saw the deer
three times. On two of these occasions the
buck was far beyond range, and the other
time he came along when Cummings' gun
was not loaded. The neSSyear the deer
was back In Prospect among Els old haunts,
and Cummings drove the buck west in
stead Of north. In November, 1896 he had
followed the deer clear through Waldo
county and felt himself sure Of getting his
venison In Vassalboro, which is in Kenne-
beo county, but the deer circled, going up
through Fairfield, Benton and thence into
Piscataquis county, where he got mixed
up in the herds that came down from
Mount Katahdin.
Cummings returned home disgusted and
nearly discouraged. He had shot two deer
on his tramps, which are all the law al
lows, but he had the striped deer still to
get. This spring when he was Out gather
Ing sap mile back from his house he saw
the same old deer back In the old place.
He went home and read that new law
carefully. 1t provided fine Of $40 for ev-

next ten years. but there was nothing said
about deer that commit suicide The heart

There Are s2iil Some Monarcnies.

To the student of political institutions
perhaps the most characteristic thing
about the history Of the German empire Is
the example that 1t gives US Of the revival
or reaffirmation. SO to speak, Of the princi-
pie of monarchy. That principle has re-
ceived some rude shocks in recent years.
The establishment of the French republic
was one, and the deposition of the emperor
Of Brazil was certainly another. Both
events gave great encouragement to re-
publican ideas. Kingship in the old abso-
Lutte sense had long been on the wane.
The French revolution almost shattered
the foundations Of the old monarchlcal
rule. In England the old kingship re-
ceived Its final blow when George Nv sur
rendered his position on the question of
the emancipation Of the Catholics. No at
tempt has since been made to impose the
royal will upon a reluctant ministry or
parliament. In France the old kingship
diseanenred whan Louis philinna tha nit-

for the monarchy of July was built on
strictly constitutional lines. Even in
Prussia very restricted constitution was
reluctantly conceded.
King Frederick William " vowed that
he would never let sheet of paper inter-
vene between the God In heaven and his
subjects, but even he was forced at last to
yield to the spirit Of the age, and, as Bis
marck picturesquely put it, the crown itself
threw clod upon It's coffin. The Italian
states and Spain were for long In q condi-
ton Of chronic revolution, and either con-
stitutions were extorted or republics were
established. IL almost seemed as though
the principle of kingship was doomed ere
long to disappear. But the history of the
German empire has done much toward the
restoration Of monarchy to its old illustri-
Gus position on--Macmillan' Magazine.
