Sixteen to one simply means
the basis of valuation fixed by
law between gold and silver. six
teen ounces or grains of silver
equaling in value one ounce or
grain of gold.
Previous to 1878 silver was re.
ceived by the United States minis
and coined on the is to 1 basis
and the nation was prosperous.
During that year silver was de-
monetized by a bill which simply
dropped the words ''Silver Dol
lar" from the coinage law. 1t
was some time after the bill was
signed before it was known that
it had killed the coinage of sill
yer. President Grant claimed
that he signed the measure with
out noticing the omission of the
Silver Dollar" Afterward Con-
gresham Bland introduced
bill to remonetize silver but it
was vetoed by President Hayes.
Finally in 1890 the Sherman act
directing the government to pur-
chase 4,5CJ,0t0 ounces per month
was passed. This act was re-
pealed in 1893 and silver again
demonetized. Previous to this
silver was also killed in India.
Now the friends of the white
metal simply ask that silver be
restored to its oldplace.

Number of Gallons in the Ocean.

The nathematicians figure on every
thing nowadays, from the number OF
leaves in q given extent of forest to the
probable number of molecules of mat
ter that it takes to make up the uni
verse. One of the most curious calcu-
lations which we have met with re-
Gently Is one in which German profess
sor gives figures to show the number
OF gallons of water in the Pacific ocean.
He first considers the average depth
and then the average length and
breadth, and then throws the whole
into O square and the square into q
globe. He finds that this aqueous
globe would he exactly 726 miles in di-
ameter. Next he considers ocean water
as weighing 10 pounds to the gallon,
nnd finds that this immense sphere,
were it hollow metal globe, would
hold 200,o00,OOo,O 100000 of gallons!
Those figures represent the number of
gallons of water now in the largest
diVision of the earth's seas. 1t would
take that amount of water more than
100000 years to pour over the preci-
pice at Niagara!-St. Louis Republic.

Live Fish of Great Age.

"The age of the fish is almost un-
limited" observed an official of the fish
commission, in reply to q question.
Prof. Baird devoted great deal of
time to the question as to the length Of
life of fish, and he found that the ordi,
nary carp, if not interfered with, would
live 500 years. In his writings on the
subject he stated that there are now liv,
ing in the Royal aquarium in Russia
several carp that are known to be over
300 years old; that he had ascertained
in a number of cases that whales live
to be over 200 years old. A gentleman
in Baltimore has had an ordinary gold
fish for 60 years, and his father in
formed him that he had purchased il
over 40 years before it came into his

STRAINS TIVE NERVES SEVERELY
Prodigious Labor In Learning 1nstru-
mental Music Thoroughly.

Prodigious Labor In Learning 1nstru-
mental Music Thoroughly.
Gounod, the composer, bitterly re-
sented the omnipresence of the average
piano player. He was strongly in favor
Of somewhat severe pianoforte tax.
His argument was that 90 out of every
100 who learned to play that instru-
ment failed to attain more than super
fetal stage, either of conception OF ex-
ecution, and that they wasted valuable
time, which might otherwise be en-
ployed in doing something that would
benefit them. He also coptended that
the piano practice of students consti-
tuted @ public nuisance, and was trri-
tating and exasperating to such de-
gree as to become an outrage on peace
fully inclined citizens. The proposed
tax was never levied, but some figures
published by a French scientist may
possibly in some measure tend to re-
strict the lndiscriminate teaching of
music to very young children. 1t Is
declared that large number Of nerv-
Gus maladies from which girls of the
present day suffer are to be attributed
to playing the piano. Children who
ought to be exercising in the open air
are kept at dreary and distasteful work
at the keyboard hour after hour daily,
and the nerves simply will not stand
the strain.
1t is said to be proved by statistics
that Of 1000 girls who study this in
strument before the age of 12 less than
600 suffer from this class of disorders,
while Of those who do not begin until
later there are only some 200 per 1000
The proportion among those who are
spared the practice is only 100 per 1000.
The prosecution of the study Of the
violin by the very young is proved to be
equally injurious. The remedy sug-
gested is that children should not be
permitted to study either instrument
before the age Of 16, at least, or, in the
case Of delicate constitutions, not until
later age. So far as the piano is con-
cerned, however, 1t is possible that the
true remedy may be found In better
method of teaching. The main point
in early tuition is to "form" the hands
and give them fexibility and strength.
This Is purely mechanical and it can
be done away from the pianoforte key
board. The'endless repetition of sound,
which is responsible for much Of the
wear and tear of the nerves Of young
musical students, Is thus avoided, and
better progress Is made from the con-
centration of the mind and technique
only. The objection has been raised
that such system makes mechanical"
players. AS matter Of fact, it makes
only those mechanical" who would
be so under the ordinary system of
tuition. To those Of true artistic in
stinct it Is an inestimable help, and
shortener Of labor.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

VICIOUS VULTURE.
He Is the Largest specimen of His Kind
Ever Captured.

Ever captured
A bird of prey as tall as mani Such
is the prize just captured by the super
lntendent of Richard Gird's ranch in
the hills south of Chino, San Bernar-
dino county, Cal. The prisoner is a
magnificent specimen of the California
vulture, without doubt the largest ever
taken captive. From the crown of it's
ferocious-looking, red-wattled head to
Its strong, scaly talons it measures six
feet. Its plucky captor Is inch or two
shorter in his cowhide boots. The man
has the advantage in weight, for the
bird weighs 100 pounds. Still that is
q fair fighting weight to carry through
the rarified upper air. In order to ac-
complish this feat the vulture Is pro-
vided with wings that have spread of
12 feet. Withal the ornithologists who
have seen it declare that it is merely a
youngster.
Apart from the red wattles already al
luded to, the birds head conveys the
idea of q very bald old man of miserly
instincts. The back and the upper part
Of the wings are gray, and the tail and
larger wing feathers are glossy black
The legs and feet are of a reddish hue.
Altogether Mr.. Gird's pet is formid-
able hooking creature. Partly for this
reason. partly because of its red poll,
partly because of his light weight in
contrast to his extreme height and
strength, and partly because he shows
vicious inclination to deal knockout
blows to whoever approaches him, Mr..
Gird proposes to take good care of his
prize. and is prepared to match him
against any captive wild bird living.
If the match were an eating contest
Mr.. GMd would probably be on the safe
side. Allured by the palatable flavor
cf q dead COW, the bird devoured nearly
every particle of flesh from its bones,
which so oppressed him that however
vigorously he tapped his wings he was
unable to fly away to his eyrie among
distant mountain Businesses.
In this humiliating predicament he
was lassooed and dragged, futtering
ponderously but helylessly, to Mr.. .Gird's
stable. His mood just at present Is
trife morose, as might be expected I'M
der the circumstances, but Mr.. Gird
hopes to convert the bird into an affec-
tionate and interesting household pet.
Even in the birds present untutored
condition his owner declares that he
would not take ST. 900 for him.
Mr.. Gird probably does not exagger-
ate the value of the acquisition. The
California vulture is very nearly ex-
tinct owing to the traps laid for birds of
prey by settlers.-San Francisco Exam.

The popular conception of the path of

gag sharper in its outlines than the
average Missouri rail fence. Pho

notion, the plates showing that such
flash tracks are perfectly devoid of an
giles, the blazing route taken by the fluid

Foresters Protest,

WASHINGTON, March THE
executive committee Of the Ameri-
can Forestry association has just
forwarded a letter to the secretary
of 1.-THE interior protesting against
the contemplated opening of the
Cascade Range forest reserve in
Oregon. The reserve contains
A, 492, 800 acres and is situated on
the crest of high sierras. The let
ter states that there are no agri-
cultural lands in the reservation
and that the lumber interests are
not in need of its timber supplies;
that the miners are not affected
and that the only motive prompt.
ing. the movement are the shop
herds whose focks not, only pre-.
vent any new growth. Legislation
is needed TO empower the secretary
of the interior to form a protective
service and made rules under
which mining, numbering, grazing
or any other occupancy and uso OF
the reserve might take place.
