tions were entered into for the same
purpose, aud public meetings were
held in order to guide public senti.
ment. At such meeting, in Boston,
the merchants passed a resolution
calling upon the people not to buy or
use British goods imported in British
ships. The mechanics of Boston
were even more clear sighted and
went farther They insisted in their
resolutions that such goods ought not
TO be bought or consumed at all. This

In no recent war has there been a
more striking exhibition of the fervor
of patriotism than the public sees iu
Cuba. Not ouly are she natives
sacrificing their lives and money in
the attempt to free their island, but
they are constantly destroying their
own towns and Villages in order that
these may not fall into the hands of
the Spauiards and thus become
sources of strength to the enemy.
This was the policy of the Russians
when Napoleon marched to Moscow,
and it proved one of the most effec.
tive agencies 10 the disastrous ending
of that expedition. Where he hoped
for shelter he found that the build.
ings had been burned; where he
looked for supplies for horses and
men he found that these also had
been destroyed. The destruction in
Cuba is, of course, upon smaller
scale, but in spirit it is the same.

vote of the State was but S,507. 1t

Presidential electors and two United

We commend this to the attention

They should read Major McKinley's

that briars, spiny and venomous
plants issued from the ground; that

Most Idle Nation

The palm would probably go to the
Transvaal Republic as regards its orig
inal burgher population. The Boer
does just as little work as will keep
himself and family alive, and the most
OF that he gets done by Kaffir servants,
who, In the more out-of-the-way dis
hicts. at any rate, are practically
slaves. In and about the gold fields
and industrial centers he Just lets his
land on mining and other leases TO the
Outlander, and does hardly any
thing at all. OF European countries

Spain and Turkey. In Spain consti-
tutional Incidence, fertile soil and a
magnificent climate combine 10 make
life one long dawdle. In Turkey the
natural thrift and industry of the real
Turkish population are paralyzed into
idleness and apathy by the hopeless
ness Of winning anything worth hav-
ing which will not ut once be stolen by
official corruption.

RAISING CAPITAL.

A somewhat novel method Of raising
capital where the security was of a
rather hazardous nature, has recently
been carried to a successful issue in
in this city. says a late Chicago dis.
patch. A western gold mining com.
pany wanted $4,000 to develop its
plant. To obtain this, il issued stock
for 5000, 900 on which a dividend of s
per cent was guaranteed for ten years.
The guarantee was made through a
Chicago bank, the stock being sold at
par. The bank withheld 80 per cent
OF the amount received for stock, or in
all, 100000, remitting to its client,
the mining company, the 100000 re-
quirement for the development Of the
mine.
In this manner, the annual guaran-
tee and dividends were assured of
payment, the mining company re-
ceived the value it had placed on its
shares, the subscribers were protected
against loss of more than 20 per cent
OF their investments, with the posi-
biiity OF proportionate share of the
profits il the venture turned out well,
and the bank making the deal had ad-
vantage OF the use Of the money dur
ing the ten years the guarantee re-
mained in force.

a.CK.ACrION COMMERCE.

In the list are many OF the COM
mopest articles Of consumption, which
California might readily produce al
home. but for which it sends millions
of dollars abroad each year. The inn
ports Of its products range as high as
eight or ten millions each year. Con-
densed milk is not only very impor-
,ant article Of consumption in mining
camps and great ranches, but is largely
shipped abroad for the Asiatic trade.
II is brought across the continent from
New Jersey. California also sends
bevond its borders from twenty TO
,xenty-fiye millions annually for the
item OF sugar, which should not only
be produced in sufficient quantities to
supply consumption, but for export as
well, says an article in the Century.
II is curious fact that many OF the
finest fruit preserves sold in San Fran
cisco bear French and Italian labels,
and that the supply Of canned sweet
corn comes mostly from Maine. Es-
sential oils made from the peeling OF
citrus fruits are also imported. II is
not uncommon to find orange marina
lade which has been prepared in Roch-
ester, N. Y, the oranges having been
shipped eastward, and the manufac-
tured product westward, at cost Of
two continental freights. Imports are
BY no means confined TO things which
require capital and machinery for theiy
manufacture. Chickens, turkeys and
eggs are largely brought from outside.

Why Thunder RnlIa.

The prolonged roll OF thunder is
readily explained by comparison with
a volley fired along line of troops.
Suppose troops to be drawn up in line
in such number as to extend for a
mile and ordered. by signal that all
could see, to fire at once. One stand
ing at the end OF the line would hear
the report OF the mustket nearest him
instantly. lie would hear the others
successfully. Thus a report $50 feet
away would come to him in half Sec
ond and he would not hear the last re-
port for five or six seconds after the
gun had been fired. This would pro-
duce sort Of roll, which would gradu-
allv increase to intensity. Flashes OF
lightning may be considered as repre-
senting three lines OF troops along
which the explosions occur at the
same time. Consider the variety OF
distance and position OF the listener
and we account for the variety OF sound
in thunder. In mountainous regions
the rolling ia augmented by reverbera-
tions or echoes.

WATER IN wOUD.

Ii has commonly been estimated
that green wood, when cut down, con.
tains about 45 per cent Of its weight in
moisture. but in the forests of Central
Europe wood cut down in Winter is
said to hold more than 40 per cent OF
water at the end of the following Sum-
mer. Kept for several years in a dry
place, wood retains from Is to 20 per
cent OF water, while that which has
been thoroughly desiccated will, when
exposed to air under ordinary circum-
stances, absorb 8 per cent of water in
the first three days, and will con-
tinue to absorb it until it reaches from
IA to l6 per cent as a normal stand
ard, the amount fluctuating above and
below this standard according to the
state OF the atmosphere. 1t has been
found that, by exposing green wood to
a temperature OF PIP degrees, F., the
loss OF weight equaled As per cent
and, further, on exposing small prisms
of wood one.half inch square and
eight inches long, cut out OF billets
that had been stored for two years, to
the action of superheated steam for
two hours, their loss OF weight was
found to be from l5 to As per cent, ac-
cording to the temperature OF the
steam.

Nueer Calculations.

comparisons. One of the most curl
Gus OF these is one in which the rela-

planets is shown. They tell us that

globe two feet in diameter, the earth
would be represented, proportionately

How iowa Persuade. to M.,rImoDy

Bachelors and old maids would bet
ter think twice before they decide to
remain unmarried all their lives. On
the 4th OF July law passed by the
State Legislature at Its last session
went into effect. This law provides
that every estate valued at over 81 900
shall pay to the State an inheritance
tax OF per cent OF its full value, pro-
viding there are no direct heirs to take
the property. Parents, brothers and
sisters and other relatives are not
counted as direct heirs, only the wife,
children, adopted children or grand
children being counted as such. Sew
eral estates in Davenport now being
settled come under this rule. If per
sons owning property wish the whole
amount to go to their heirs, they must
in the future be careful to select 9
