er OF demagogue lies in the existence
of large constituency of ignorant and
iIliterate voters who are peculiarly sus-
ceptiDle to the appeals of such man.
Without voters behind him he could do
little or nothing, and were all voters
qualified by education to make
some investigation for themselves he
would find 1t difficult to get following.
An illiterate constituency has ever besn
regarded as menace to Republican in
situations, not because illiteracy and
immortality necessarily go together,
for such is not the care, but because
ignorant men are far more easily oon-
trolled by tiemaaoRues than men of edu-
cation. Many states i'll the Union have
already disfranchised the illiterate voter
and they have done SO for sound reasons.

GREAT CATASTROPHE PREDICTED
By far the most astonishing papers read
at the convention of American Scier-
lists" at Detroit Mich, Thursday were
those by Prof. Gilbert and DR.. Spencer,
of Washington.
DR.. Spencer by cold, logical reason
proved that the course of the lakes was
steadily changing. Reckoning long
distance In the future, both Prof.
Gilbert and DIR. Spencer agreed
that the Niagara river and Falls
will cease to exist, and that the
c, lrse of the water from the lakes will
be over what is now Chicago toward the
Mississippi river. DR.. Spencer aaid:
''It is especially important at Chicago,
because that city stands on low plain
near the level of Lake Michigan, and
close by there is divide so low that
the waters of Lake Michigan will nat
urally find discharge to the Missis-
sippi." The doctor asserted that De-
troit would be first to 60, and that the
overwhelming disaster at Johnstown
would be as nothing compared to the
future catastrophe, unless the city faith
ers made preparations to prevent it,.
His basis of reckoning was that the
gorge at Niagara was forming at the
rate of foot year, and disaster was
certain

SATURDAY EVENING. AUG. IA 1897

A COMPETITIVE examination, under
the civil service law, for q carpenters
place at the Washington navy yard'
has been ordered. Applicants will be
examined on the principles OF survey
ing and their knowledge Of field prac
tice. the outlines OF geodesy aud as
tronomy, geometry, algebra, Tin par
ticular solution OF equations}, trigo-
nometry (in particular the use OF loga'
rithms, sev.n-place tables to be used)
and penmanship. There are as sklllfuI
and efficient carpenters in Alexandra
as any where else, but if any one OF
them could stand successful examina-
ton on such questions as those referred
to. he would not only surprise hls most
intimate friends, but himself also. But
as the ability to hop twelve yards on
one foot has for some time been a nee
essary qualification for other en-
plovees at the same yard, the addi-
tional ones mentioned above do not ex'
cite special wonder. The more that Is
known about the civil service reform
law and rules, the more patent become
the absurdities thereof. What possible
bearings geodesy, astronomy, solution
of equations, and the particular use OF
loearithms have upon joiners' work are
not readily understood.
