Those are fine stories that are pour ing in from Alaska. It really seems as if all anybody needs to do to make his everlasting fortune is to go to Alaska and pick up the gold that appears to be lying around there very much as gold and precious stones lie around on the stage in some spectacular plays. But most of those who have steady work here will probably do well to stick to it. They may even find more gold in 1t than they would find in Alaska. Everybody isn't fitted for gold-piclSing in a new country, and af- ter the first rush of glorious stories from Alaska is over there will be some of another kind. But there is a boom on, and no mistake, and while it lasts it will lead a few to fortune, many to disappointment and some to lonely and cold graves.

I'll E MdGIC RING.

The Arabian Nights gentlemen who, with their magic ring are working such wonders in elevating and depressing men and things in this region, are not finding much public favor for their declaration that MT. Dewell must be depressed. But we don't suppose that they care much for public favor if they can get the favor of the County com miSsioners. And if they succeed in get ting the County commissioners to re- buke MT. Dewell for his honest and courageous attack on the street-sprlnk- ling extravaganza they will not be dis turbed by the fact that the County commissioners will not find public fa- vor for such an act. They are work ing for the public good and If the pub lie doesn't appreciate their unselfish labors, why, the public knows what it can do.
 It is an interesting situation. If the Arabian Nights gentlemen can work their magic on the County commission CTS and change them from faithful pub- lie officers into defenders of the street. sprinkling extravaganza magic will have a new boom and there will be at least one more Arabian Night

THE MOONS INFLUENCE ON THE
 EARTH

Every one knowsthe great part played by the moon in rural affairs, It is the moon that causes everything, good and
 bad in the stable in the house and in the fields. Of course, the role of our sa-
 tellite on earth is exaggerated little;
 but, these congregations aside, it still exerts sufficiently great influence on
 our planet. Regarding the action of the moon on the weather and on earth
 quakes, everybody knows the opinion
 that have maintained for more than a
 quarter of a century, and that Is now
 beginning to have weight in the scien- tif1c world, but not without efforts The problem is quite complex, and, so far as the weather is concerned, the proof is difficult to present clearly. But, on the other hand, prejudices are deeply rooted, even with scientists. We may simply remark that the mechanism or the lunar influence Is not at all what 1t was once thought to be. The moon acts
 on the progressive movement of atmos-
 pheric Impressions, according to. her de-
 cliEation-that Is to say, her height
 above the horizon. Just as the sun in
 its annual course alters the latitude of
 the trade winds, so our satellite alters the latitude of the rain bearing cur
 rents in her monthly course and causes them to prevail in one region or anoth- CT, according to her declination.
 "The moon Is the same everywhere" certainly, but its action is very differ
 ent according to the latitude and the declination. The argument that is con-
 monly brought up is as strong as if one should say that the sun is everywhere
 the same and that the temperature and
 the sky should be invariable in all cli-
 mates. The problem has been badly understood, and therefore 1t Is that we
 have remained so long without reach ing It's solution. We wish to examine to-day another side of the questionable influence of the moon on vegetation which has been made the subject of very numerous controversies. If we must speak with a certain reserve of the lunar influence on tree growth, we should add that no one has shown that such influence does not exist.
 M. Rousset, in his critical study calls to mind an experiment that I made 8 long time ago in the tropics, by planting side by side ten seeds in the wane of the
 moon and ten others at full moon. The
 plants sowed at new moon grew notice
 ably more rapidly than those at full
 moon. I explained this phenomenon by
 saying that the first appeared just in time to profit by the moons light, while the others, after germination, were not exposed so long to the lunar rays. The hypothesis may be good, but perhaps it | does not correspond to the reality Nevertheless, it is confirmed by an ob- servation of M. Carbonnier, who has, on I his part, shown that at full moon con- fervoid and cryptogamic vegetation Is more active than in other lunar periods.
 However this may be, the arguments
 presented against the lunar influence
 are insufficient to reverse the popular
 prejudice. We see that the best plan is
 never to reject old popular traditions
 from purely theoretical considerations. l-M. Henri de Parville in Le Correspon- dant Paris.

RAFTING FOE COMPLAINTS.

All over the State prosecuting off, eers are waiting for complaints against violators of the new Sunday law. It is safe to say that they will continue to wait and that their waiting will not be much interrupted by com plalnts. Laws don't amount to much unless upheld by public opinion and all the indications are that public opinion is as much against the strict enforce ment of the new Sunday law as it was against the strict enforcement of the old ore. This may be all wrong, but we don't see what can be done to change it. Last Sunday the law was openly disregartled in some places and in general the Sunday buying and selling went on as usual. In Williman- tic there was a compromise by which all the shops were closed between 10 in the forenoon and in the afternoon.

FASHION NOTES.
Some Stylish Wells Are Unbeoominr.

An important feature of the summer girls wardrobe is the veil. If she real
 izes this she has many of them, and her
 collection represents taste in selection and care in their preservation. Chiffons in white, in black and in rose color will wash, are becoming and are made warm Chiffons dotted with black won't wash, are more becoming than the plain and are also often seen. The dots scrape off and one scraped-o off place condemns the veil, so dotted chif- fon is not inexpensive. A very close mash of white with close set tiny black dots is becoming and wears well. Like

MIR. NUSOM AND VALET.

A Fourteen Year-Old Boy Steals Mon. ey Buys Yacht and Comes tc
 Grief
 A week ago Leon Nusom of Port Gib- son, Miss, reached New Orleans with three hundred and five dollars in his in ner pocket, valet tagging on behind and a yearning for wild life on the river. When Leon was arrested yester-
 day he had a steam launch. which he didn't know how to run, skiff, and an empty purse. His valet was still with
 him. Leon is fourteen years of age
 His valet is ten, and as black as the proverbial ace of spades, It is rumored that they had to put the valet in cis- tern to give day a chance to break around Port Gibson before the minia- ture adventurer in ebony left that neighborhood
 Leon brought his penchant for steam
 launches with him when he came to New Orleans, and for several days he and his follower looked around for what he wanted Finally he located the pro-
 per article in Algiers. He purchased it
 from one MT. Cuny paying two hun dred and twenty-five dollars m cash

&Il mesh veils it must be worn and Folded carefully and kept while folded Tree from dampness. This is an im- portant consideration in the care of all wells, for veil that has lost it's crisp ness IS as bad taste as solled lace, and one that from not having been folded has lost it's fiatness is unbecoming and untidy.
 Black gauge wells of very fine thread woven close are extremely becoming, but so delicate that they will hardly wear more than once without injury Wells are worn all widths, from the double, which envelops face, chin, hat and head, to the little narrow strip that comes below the nose and leaves the mouth temptingly uncovered and avail able for ice cream soda. All over lace veils are horribly unbecoming, but they last we'll, will cleanse, and so are to be considered. They come sprigged, and the more sprigged they are the better the veil, but the more unbecoming. Reil lace veils are said to be worn, but such a precious possession of lace should not be subjected to the chances of hat brims and pins.
 Hats are as fully a-bloom as ever,

therefor This was day before yester-
 day. He also bought skiff and paid for it In cold cash.
 Yesterday Special Officer Taylor, one of Sheriff Marrero's force, saw Nusom and his Fidus Achates in Indian ink
 pottering around steam launch off Gretna. Officer Taylor thought it was funny, and questioned Leon as to the place he hailed from and the manner in which he acquired ownership of the launch. Leon couldn't tell a straight story, and MT. Taylor took him before Sheriff Marrero.
 To Sheriff Marrero's questions Leon turned a deaf ear for some time. The little negro finally weakened and gave the whole story away. He said that
 Leon had stolen some money from his
 mother, Mrs. E. N. Nusom, and started | for New Orleans. He had been induced | to come along.
 Leon finally unbent sufficiently to ad- init the truth of the darl1y's story, and
 to say that he had spent every cent he | had stolen. Then the sheriff tele-
 graphed the authorities at Port Gibson, | putting them in possession of the facts about Leon's arrest. He received the
 following reply:
 | Leon Nusom wanted here Left
 with three hundred and five dollars and
 colored boy Hold him. Will send of
 ficer down tonight. Secure what mon-
 ey he may have. Answer. Nusom s
 mother is Mrs. E. N. Nusom of this | place.
 | Leon will return to Port Gibson this
 morning, and his faithful follower will
 go with him. It is thought that most o1
 the money spent by him during his stay
 in New Orleans can be recovered on the
 return of the purchases made by him.

Tn the Popular Science Monthly Will liam Baxter, jr., forcibly sets forth some of the difficulties in the way Of successful navigation of the air. As far as we i-now now, he says, an air ship can be kept aloft and in motion in one of two ways-by the use of bal loon, or by means of aeroplanes. The sustaining capacity of the balloon Is about one pound for every fourteen cu- bic feet of volume; of the aeroplanes about one pound to every square foot of surface. ''The carrying capacity, even of a craft of large dimensions, must be small--very much smaller than the popular notion would make ii" A balloon air-ship 120 feet long and weighing 1000 pounds would be able to carry (say) four passengers. It is doubtful whether the size of the ship can be very materially reduced by the use of aeroplanes, or (assuming that re- sult) whether what is gained in one | way will not be lost in another. AS to I the imagined great speed of the coming overhead ship, MT. Baxter says: As | is perfectly well known, the principal obstacle that stands in the way of ex- l traordlnary velocity in railroads is the l resistance of the atmosphere, and this would be very much greater in the case of an air-ship owing to the increased size. The cross-section of a train of cars is less than one hundred and fifty l feet, while that of an air-ship of the same carrying capacity would probably be ten times as great if not more and 1 the power required to overcome att mospheric resistance would be in about the same proportion. From this it can be seen that the energy necessary to propel the ship, without saying any the air, would be many times greater | than that required to drive a train of cars at the same speed; hence, as a means of rapid transit, aerial naviga- ton could not begin to compete with the railroad.
 And so forth and so on. But all the same we have faith to believe that men will soon be able to advantageously use
 the air line.
