1t is becoming popular thing for
churches to give their pastors bicycles
and the practice is to be commended.
For most clergymen in average health
there is no better form of exercise thar
wheeling and they have the advantage
over men who are engaged in business
that they can get their exercise on the
wheel by daylight. Riding after dark
is far better than no riding at all, but
the real enjoyment Of the bicycle comes
when one is able to go out frequently
when the sun is shining. Herein many
women have the advantages over most
men. Clergymen as q rule have little
difficulty in SO arranging their affairs
that they may be able to take at least
short spin every fine day during the rid

for the small export.

CONTROL OF THE oRiNoco.

Vital Point.

PuntA BaFims Important, But Not q
Vital Point.
To comprehend fully what the con-
troll Of a vast waterway threading the
richest part of Guiana would mean to
America and American interests, one
must study carefully the map of South
America. Geographers divide the
southern continent into three great
basins, those of the Amazon, the ORR
noco and the Plata. To dominate the
mouth Of any one of these great arte-
ries of commerce would be to become
the master of one-third of South Ameri-
ca. The Orinoco is navigable for ves-
sells of the deepest draft to Ciudad
Bolivar, Venezuela's eastern metropolis.
Within this distance of 400 miles 20
other navigable rivers swell the mighty
current of the Orinoco, while still far
ther into the interior the eastern bank
receives the waters of 81 large rivers
and the west those of 30. Two of the
former are navigable to the affluents of
the Amazon, and many of the latter
to the remote interior of the neighbor-
ing republics of Venezuela and Colon
b;a. ~
If she were to gain control of the
Crinoco, England would possess the
key to the entire eastern part of South
America. This view has been advanced
by ex-l'resident Guzman Blanco in
recent publication. He attaches to the
possession of Punta Barima the ability
to dominate the Orinoco and the entire
water system which elnpties into it.
Punta Barima is on the southeastern
bank of the Orinoco, at it's juncture
with the sea, and is described as high
bluff which, when properly fortified.
would control this entrance, the most
navigable of all the mouths of the ORR
noco. 1t would not be under water dur
ing the period of inundation, and with
a dockyard and three or four gunboats.
its master might lock up the Orinoco
and all that vast tributary country.
On the other hand, the oounterview is
advanced, and should be stated, that the
position of Punta Barima would enable
the English to dominate only one pass
by means of guns placed on fortifica-
ticns on shore, since at least two of
the other mouths of the Orinooo can
be entered by vessels from the sea.
The best line of communication to-
day between Trinidad and Ciudad Boli-
var is by a side-wheel steamer, built in
the United tSates, which passes
through a mouth of the Orinoco far to
the west of Punta Barima, on the bar of
which there is at least eight feet Of
water. 1t therefore may be argued that
Notifications at Punta Barima could
not close the Orinoco, the control of
which would depend upon vessels of
war. England's strength as a sea pow
er, with Trinidad as a. base, gives her
all necessary control of the river to-day.
If British Guiana should develop into
a great nation, claiming and owning
one bank of the OrinOco, Punta Barima
would become point of great impor-
tance; but this is contingency hardly
to be dreaded by Venezuela, since, with
her superb natural advantages, she
must inevitably keep the lead. = w.

FEMININE ELECTRICITY.
The Undattering Term "NeKativs'' II SIN
Much Used.


Much Used.
From the beginning it had been
noticed that there were two kinds OF
electric force, but these were named
with reckless discourtesy, positive and
negative, as though the second had been
Inferior. inactive, merely receptive.
And yet there were suggestions OF the
true relations of these two forces that
should not have been overlooked. 1t is
recorded that six years after the st.
Petersburg professors fatal experl-
u,ent (about 1852, Robert SPINNER,
when pulling off his stockings in the
evening, remarked that they gave q
cracking noise and emitted sparks.
BY varied experiments he discovered
that the electricity was most powerful
when silk and worsted stocking had
been worn in the same leg, or, il the
stockings were both Of silk, then more
diveltiug results were obtained when
they were of different colors. Two
white silk stockings or two black ones
gave 10 electrical Indications. When 3
black aud whits stocking were with
drawn from the same leg, and then sep
arated, they were SO much inflated that
each SLOWED the entire shape of the leg
aud at a distance OF Is inches they
rushed to meet each other.
Separated by force they would again
become inflated, and be a. ready to
rush together AZ before. When this cx-
pertinent was performed with two
black stockings in one hand and two
white in the other, the rcpulsion o!
those of the same color-thtir jealousy
and the attraction Of those of differ
cnt colors would "tlrrow them into agi
tation and make them catch each at
that Of its opposite color at a greater
distance" Plainly this eighteenth
century student had to do with mascn-
line and feminine electricity and yet
the nnfattering term negative" as
applied to the feminine. has persisted
even to our day.-Harper's Weekly.

Primitive Man.

Some anthropologists are of the
opinion that the primitive man used
both hands equally and base their be-
lief upon the fact that the stone imrlc-
ments and rough drawings made by
early races of men are so shaped as to
suggest that both hands were used
with equal skill in forming them. An
thropoid apes are ambidextrous. On
the other hand, those who think that
man began by being right-handcd point
to the fact that in primitive languages
words denoting the left hand always
signify something degenerate and in
ferior.-N. Y. World.
