THE DECLINE IN RAILROAD Con-
sTRUCTIoN.-For eight years the mile
age of annual railroad construction in
the United States has been steadily &c
creasing. From nearly $4,000 miles Of
track laid in the wonderful year 1887
the totals have gone down by thou
sands and hundreds, until 1895 touched
the lowest round for twenty years by
adding only 1903 miles to our railroad
system. But this does not mean that
the demand for railways is nearly
supplied and that construction will
continue to decrease. On the contrary,
there is room and will be need for
additions far greater than the entire
present mileage of the country. We
have now something over ISL 900 miles
of road. To equal Great Britain in its
ratio of railway mileage to square miles,
we should have total of 492. 600 miles;
to equal the abundant supply OF Illinois
we must have 1000 miles; while if
Massachusetts with its mile of railway
TO every four square miles of territory
be the standard, the United States will
eventually boast of $4,000 miles of
lines.
That there is much rail way building
vet to be done the records prove be-
yond a doubt. When it will be done
depends on conditions yet to be de.
veloped. a considerable amount of
work is already under way. During the
first three months of this year 253 miles
of track were laid on twenty lines, and
including these our books already show
sixty lines on which it seems reason
ably certain that 1,750 miles of track
will have been laid by the end of 1896,
with possibility of much more. 1t oil
depends on the times, not on the ques-
ton of finding room or of demand for
more Misunderstanding Age.

CYCLONES IN THE WEsT.-The first
cycIonein North Dakots since the Farg
catastrophe in 1890, was reported west,
of Barnes county Sunday evening. The
cyclone formed in the southern end of
Ecieson, moving in a zig gag course, in
northeasterly direction. The worst
damage is reported at Saiborn, where a
school house and barn were completely
demolished. The force of the storm
was felt at Hobart, where all the farm
buildings of Nels Munson were swept
away. Mrs Munson rushed to the
cellar. The building was swept from
over her head the cellar was filled with
debris, but fortunately she escaped
with few bruises. Munson was found
unconscious lying in slough, fifty yards
away. His arms and legs are broken
and it IS thought he is fatally injured
Internally. The path of destruction
was only a few feet in width and in
cluded but few buildings in its course
of about eight miles. The force of the
storm was spent at Valley City. Wires
between Fargo and Hobart are down.
A diminutive cyclone swept over a
portion of Perry and Conway counties,
Arkansas, Sunday and yesterday,
wrecking o considerable amount of
property, but SO far as reported no lives
were lost. The loss was heaviest in
the vicinity OF Morrillton.

THE ELECTRIC SUCKER.

In an article in Ueder Land md Meer
on Electrical Phenomena in the Ami
NAL World" DIR. Frolich tells about a
sucker first found in the Nile and its
tributaries by modern scientific men in
1881, but well known to the ancient
Egyptians as the sucker thunderer
god" being worshiped as such in a
suckergod temple in the city of the
thunder sucker, or Oryrrhynchos. The
reason they called it the thunder suck
or, instead OF the thunder fish," was
because they knew of another FISH,
known to the English. speaking people
as the electric cat (fish), to the Germans
as the Zit,erwels, or the shad-that-
makes. s.one-tremble. 1t crews to a
length of about foot, of which the
head and nose take up quarter, and
at the deepest part measures more than
a quarter of its length.
Just why the modern scientific men
did not know of this fish before is a
question a layman finds it hard to an
swer, except that the sucker is bot
tony fish The old Egyptians probably
learned of the animal after Nile flood,
when some philosopher was meditating
over mud puddle left by the receding
water. He saw funny fish struggling
in the water, and, out of desire for
knowledge, reached for the fish and
touched it. If there were any disciples
of the philosopher hard by they prob
ably saw the philosopher act surprising
ly-as the stole Indian did when he got
hold of q galvAnic battery. Thereafter
the fish was worshiped, having name
which associated it with the "tnunder
god of the skies, although the aDcients
knew nothing OF electricity, according
to the learned OF to-day.
peculiar thing about the various
electrical fish is that should one swim,
even at considerable distance from
human hather, the bather would know
its proximity by an electrical sen
saton," while many of them have bat
teres actually fit 10 kill horse on CON
tact. These FISH are far ahead of tbe
human beings In the matter OF weapons,
for they stun their prey at great dis
tance in the water.

---------------------------
AT THE BEGINNING.

There are few fundamental princi.
pies of finance to which we can not too
frequently revert. Kept steadily in
mind we can not 20 far nstray.
Money is a measure of value, but la
Dor is the only measure of the value of
money.
The government stamp is simply a
certificate to the weight and tincness
of the coin. but adds nothing to its
value.
y promise to pay may be either ex-
pressed or implied. In the case of the
treasury notes and certificates the gov
ernmcnt gives an express promise to
pay. In the case of the silver coins
and token money the promise is i'm
piled.
The coinage of gold or silver does
not consume the product and there
fore does not increase the demand.
Money being mere measure is not
subject to the law of supply and de-
mand so far as mere measuring power
is concerned. That is the destruction
of one dollar does not effect the meas
uring power of another dollar.
Fiat money can contiscate debts, but
it cannot purchase wares.
Honesty in money matters is the
best policy.
All exchanges in the Sbeginning were
made on the basis of trading days
work for days work. Though we do
not realize it that principle is still the
equitable basis of all exchanges.
Honesty is the best policy.-Yank-
ton Express.
