Our acknowledgements and greeting
are due TO the Scientific American,
the receipt of whose handsome An
niversary Number reminds US that our
esteemed contemporary has completed
the first half century of its existence.
1t was fitting that q paper whose
range of SUBJECTS SO extensive should
devote its semi-centennial, number Ito
review of scientific and industrial de-
yelopments during the past fifty years;
and Messrs Mum & Co. are to be
congratulated on the discrimina-
ting judgement with which this
ambitious work has been carried out.
in review of this kind the difficulty is
to select, and condense. and express
the essential facts of the subject that
the result shall be reference book
and a readable story in one. In the
number before us the writers have
achieved this result to marked degree;
the historical interests and literary
style of the articles being equally
good. The illustrations appear to
have been chosen with a strict regard
for their historical interest and the
reader will linger long over such views
as those of the American built steam
er Arctic, the fastest vessel on the
Atlantic in 1852, Morse pedulum in
strument Of 1887, and his telegraph
receiver of 1874, Edison's first phono-
graph, the Patent Office models of
Howe's and Wilson's sewing machine,
the first .'safety''blcycle, the first. Nc
Cormick reaper, the original Franklin
hand press, cuts of the early forms of
the telephone and electric moter, and
many another engraving of historic in
terest- The subject which has nece-
ssariiy been crowded out of the Illus
trSted columns are more briefly noted
in very readable article at the COM
mencement or the paper; and not the
least interesting feature is the admir-
able ess ~ or the progress of invention
during the r's: fifty rea:s which won
the $2J0 prlze, offered bs the editors,
for the best essay on this subject. The
paper is handsomely in a cover which
is appropriate to the nature of the scope
of It's contents. The price of the
special issue is 10 cents, and it is we'll
worth ten times the sum.

GOLD AT CRIPPLE CREEK.


The Best Way. to Get There is Over
the Santa Fe Route.
The fabulously rich gold mining
district of Cripple Creek, Colorado, is
attracting hundreds of people. BY
spring the rush bids fair to be enor-
nous. That there is an abundance OF
gold there is demonstrated beyond
doubt. Fortunes are being rapidly
made.
To reach Cripple Creek, take the
Santa Fe route, the only standard
gauge line direct to the came. Through
Pullman sleepers and chair cars. The

tion OF what the cool headed men oI
this county have predicted. 1t was
statel-in fact admitted everywhere
that Mckinley was the people s
choice, particularly the choice of that
great body OF citizens called IabOrers.
This fact forced the natural sequence
OF general belief in republican success
in 1896. When, however, the silver
excitement first arose many people
thought the noise indicated Il change.
This was mistake, aS the coolest
and brainieSt men of the nation first
stated, and every day evidence is ac-
cumulated to prove that they were
correct. Just as the "Straw vote"
taken wherever people were gather
ed early in the year, gave n decided
preference for Mckinley, so now the
same result is noted for Mckinley
and sound money. A straw vote
taken among the Alton railroad em-
plOyes lust week gave Mckinley and
republican principles II sweeping ma
iority of several hundred. Another
vote among Milwaukee laborers gave
Mckinley lS9 to Bryan's II. Such
evidence shows the continued and re-
markable march OF Mckinley toward
the white house. And such evidence
entirely diSproves the unreliable
claims o. our Over-ZeaIous friends
who can't see anything but free sill

As might have been expected, the
silver craze has already intefered
with business. Such agitations de.
stroy confidence, stop enterprise,
and frighten investors. Numerour
iron mines in Michigan and Wiscon-
sin have closed throwing hundreds
out of employment, the small per
cent OF manufactures running are
limiting their output and business
contracts until after this question is
settled. We know OF one whole

is cancelling contracts, as we have
