trades unionism, but let his name stand
until after the convention for fear its
withdrawal might operate to defeat or
lessen any good which the convention
might do the striking miners; that as
soon as the convention had adjourned
he made a full explanation, acccmpa-
MED by an appeal to trades unionists
to aid to the extent Of their ability the
striking miners. In conclusion, Mr..
Gompers says: These inside facts are
known to but few men in the labor
movement at present, but the time is
not far distant when the entire plot of
the schemers and would-be disdupters
Of the labor movement of America will
be laid bare in all its hideousness."
From this time forward there will be
music by the full band.

Labor day was celebrated in at least
100 cities and towns last September
where it had never before been OBJ

Japan has trades union of upwards
of 700 cotton spinners, modelled strict

The strike of the $4,000 English en-
gineeSs or machinists for the eight
hour day, which was thought to have
failed, has been rendered still more for
midabIe by the action of the various
railway unions, which have decided to
strike in sympathy. They number
400 900 members, and the contest will
now he a battle royal.
Says the Eight-Hour Herald: "oul
friends, the socialists, declare that they
are going to have President Gompers
scalp at the coming convention of the
American Federation of Labor, to be
held in Nashville. But then, come tc
think of it, our friends, the socialists

Inventions Ahead of Their Time.
We sometimes hear of inventions
which have appeared before their
time" and it may be Of interest to con-
slider just what it means for an idea to
have come into the world before condi-
tions are ready for it. Every one who
has had to do with the patent office
knows what is meant by the "state OF
the art. and one of the first duties OF
an examiner is to investigate the status
Of general knowledge and practice in
that branch Of science to which the ap-
plication belongs. In such cases,
however, the intention is to discover,
If such be the case, whether the in
Vention has not been anticipated by
some device or method in general
use.
On the other hand it may sometimes
be most important to know whether or
no the state of the art" is far enough
advanced to enable the idea to be util-
lied or applied. as upon this very CUES
ton the practical fate of a device often
depends. Many ingenious and patient
men have worked persistently to devel-
Op inventions for which the art was
not ready, but which in later years,
when materials, methods and markets
had developed, proved to be fully as
valuable and important as had origin
ally been anticipated.
The pneumatic bicycle tire would be
of little value If the rubber industry
were not equal to the production Of the
proper material from which to make it,
and the motor carriage is, in like man
ner, dependent upon the parallel de-
velopment of the storage of energy
Professor Langley has shown us how to
meet the essentials of a successful fly
ing machine, and now calmly throws
the burden Of the commercial success
of the problem upon the builders Of
motors by telling them to go ahead and
produce a source of motor power which
shall be at the same time powerful
enough and light enough to drive his
aeroplane without overwhelming it,
Similar conditions often confront
students of applied science, and in
many cases brilliant ideas have proved
commercially worthless simply because
of the practical impossibility of real
izing the constructive conditions.
| There is little doubt that it would
prove a most profitable occupation for
thoroughly informed specialists to
make a study Of neglected inventions
upon which the patents have expired,
and which have never been developed
for the above reasons, bringing to this
revival of past ideas the present possi-
bilities in the light of more recent de-
velopments in science and construc-
tion.-Cassier's Magazine.

Foremost among the places of inter-
est in Jerusalem, writes a recent trav-
eler, is the church of the Holy Sepul-
chre, whose dome, according to fairly
reliable tradition, covers the site of the
Calvary of the Crucifixion, and the
grave in which the body of our Lord
was laid The identity of the site is
all the more probable because the
church has bed rock for its foundation
and not the shifting soil which would
change with the varying fortunes Of
the place. In the body of the church
are the chapels of the Greek, Latin and
Armenian Christians; while the Syri-
ans, Copts and Maronites have also
oratories beneath its roof. 1t is diff
cult to be sure of anything in such an
atmosphere of deception, but we in
cline to the belief that, If not on this
exact spot, yet somewhere near it, the
death and burial of Christ took place.
1t Is not likely that such site would
be forgotten by the early Christians,
or that Helena, the mother Of Constan-
tine, would have built a splendid
church in 1856 A. D. over the spot, if it
had not been regarded as authentic.
AS to the objection that the crucifxion
took place outside the walls of the city,
1t has been fairly argued that though
within the present enclosure of the city
walls, it might have been outside their
ancient circuit.
However this may be, it is impossible
to stand unmoved or unimpressed in
building which has been moistened
by the burning tears Of so many gener-
ations, and where every shrine and ev-
cry stone has been consecrated by the
kisses of countless thousands of pill
grims.

The Nest-RuildInr Instinct.

There Is a goodly number of instincts.
says the Revue Scientifque, upon the
subject Of which we know but very lit
tie, and, when it becomes a question of
explaining certain forms of activity in
animals, naturalists and psychologists
remain equally perplexed. Does the
bird build it's nest instinctively or
through imitation? The theory of i'm
itat'Hn has often been defended, and
It has been said that although many
birds in the first reproductive season
lose some time in grouping the ele-
ments of their nest without succeeding
in constructing anything worthy of
the name. this is due to the fact that
the remembrance of the nest in which
they first saw daylight is still confused
and uncertain. This explanation seems
very whimsical, since it is difficult to
believe that the young bird in it's nest
pays such attention to the structure Of
the latter, and through the lining, per-
ceiVes the arrangement of the mate
rails, and remembers the characteristic
method of manufacture. The construc-
ton of the nest must be attributed
rather to hereditary instinct, although
the difficulties in the way OF this view
are also considerable. Mr.. A. G. But
Ter, who discusses this question in a re-
cent number Of the zoologist, has sew
eral times observed the fact that can
airy birds (the progenitors of which
were subjected to the artificial life of
the cage three hundred years ago),
when set at relative liberty in an avi-
airy, construct therein nests that are
similar to those built by their species
in wild state. 1t is unnecessary to
say that this could not be question
of imitation, but one of hereditary in
stinct.

A Marvellous Mimic.

There is at least one bird that may
fairly claim to be a genius-namely,
the hooking bird of the United States.
Not only has he beautiful song Of his
own, but he has also the knack of
learning the song of other birds, which
he actually renders in style that is
even superior to theirs. His range
extends from the ripe notes of the
thrush to the harsh screams of the
eagle So perfect is his gift of mimic
ry that, according to Wilson, if a by
stander closed his eyes he would read
lily imagine all the birds of the forest
had met together for a trial of their
skill as vocalists. Both man and birds
are deceived by the mecker. He has
sent the sportsman in search of prey
that is not within miles of him, and
has driven his mates in headlong fight
into the densest wood at the cry of
what they think is a sparrow hawk.
Nor are his powers blunted by confne-
ment. He whistles and straightway
the dog rises to greet his supposed
master. He news like the cat, banks
like the dog, squeaks like hurt chick,
and fetches the clucking hen out all in
q hutter for her youngsters, initiates

Church Favorr Organization.

During the ffty-eighth annual SEES.
sion of the Rock River conference Of
the Methodist Episcopal church, which
closed its labors in this city during the
present week, the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That we, the representa-
tives of the Methodist Episcopal church
within the bounds of the Rock River
conference, a church whose heart has
always beat in sympathy with the toll
ing masses, do recognize the right OF
organization among all toilers for mu-
tual welfare, so long as said organiza-
tion does not interfere with the rights
of others and the welfare of the com
munity, and we unqualifedly condemn
the prohibition of this privilege be-
cause it is in direct opposition to the
spirit of the gospel we preach and the
rights of every American citizen.
What makes this action the more
welcome is the fact that it was entire
ly unsolicited and came as free-Will
offering on the part of the members Of
the conference.

An eminent English scientist has ex-
pressed the hope and the belief that be-
fore many years the great cataract of
Niagara will be turned aside from its
course and every particle of its males
tic force utilized in furnishing electric
power to the mills and railroads of the
surrounding region. The Harvesting
Of the giant to the service OF man has
already begun, and there will be two
opinions as to the wisdom Of carrying
the process of subiugation so far. Ma
terial advantage is not the only thing
to be considered; grand and beautiful
scenery has a value that cannot
be expressed in dollars and ants. No
amount Of increased industrial wealth
could make good the loss Of Niagara
Falls. 1t is the work Of a Divine
hand. The brutal greed of capital
should not be permitted to obliterate
It altogether.

If love were the offspring Of merit,
then patriotism would find no difficulty
in showing why country is worth Low,
ing, But the Turk loves a land that
has no freedom; the Spaniard, like the
Irishman, loves a country that has no
prosperity; the Chinaman loves a land
that has no inspiration; the Eskimo
loves land that has for others no
natural beauty. Men of each OF these
nationalities love their home land APP
parently for no other reason than be-
cause 1t is their own. So long as being
born in country makes its patriots,
there viii be no better reason to give,
II patriots would make their country
II the people would all help to make
their country better worth lOving-the
word patriotism would not sometimes
mean so little. It is poorly worth the
name If It implies no more than the
habit Of association that attaches the
savage to his hunting ground or brings
bach the exiled cat 10 its wonted gar
ret. True patriotism is something more
than blind instinct. Nor is patriotism
a mere sentiment. It is a principle OF
duty; and It becomes more beneheient
as 1t grows more enlightened. That
will be when patriots cease to cry, ''ouI
country, right or wrongr and insist
that its public life and its politics shall
have nothing In them Of which they
need feel ashamed.

That the world is full of dissatisfied
and unhappy people we all know, but
very few of us give any thought to One
of the principal causes of the despon-
dency and sadness Of the race. It is
only when we have almost finished our
lives that we learn that great expecta-
lions and high hopes are only extremes
from which we must recover, and that
every undue anticipation is an unnat-
ural condition, and must bring it's re-
action in corresponding depression. 1t
is very much better to preserve a fair
equilibrium under all circumstances.
"A perfectly splendid time is almost
invariably followed by a series OF
events that almost rob life of its
brightness. 1t is not that anything so
terrible has really occurred, but the
good time has raised the hopes so high
and filed the heart with such bright
anticipation of future good times that
everyday pleasures appear tame and
insipid.

A oarlou. sou.h AmerIoan weapon.

Curious South American weapon
A very remarkable Weapon is the
"bolero," which has been IN use among
the Indian tribes of South America
from time inmemorial, 1t consists
merely of strip of rawhide, about ten
feet long, to each end of which is at
tached a heavy leaden or stone ball.
When the thrower wishes to use it, he
gTasps the thong in the middle with
his finger and thumb, whiEls the weight
around his head two or three times,
and then, with peculiar twist, filings
it at its mark in such manner that
the two balls travel parallel to each
other, with the thong stretched out be-
tween them. In this way the "bolero"
makes it's journey through the air until
it reaches the object at which it is
thrown. Then the center of the strip
Of hide strikes the object aimed at
and the balls, continuing to move for
ward, but being stopped by the thong,
coil round the neck or legs Of the vic
tim, in the same way as a whip lash
will coil round stick, on the blow be-
ing made at it-and so hobbies or
strangles the animal until its pursuer
comes to release it.
This form of 'bolero" is mostly used
for catching semi-wild animals on the
Pampas; but there is another variety or
the weapon which is used for hunting
and in warfare, and which is far more
formidable. 1t is the same as that
described above, only it has an addi-
ton in the shape of third ball, which
is attached to the middle of the thong
by another shorter string, about foot
in length. When this is thrown, the
short string ball travels in advance OF
the others. and strikes the animal at
which the missile is aimed on the head
with great force, after which the other
balls wind round it's neck or legs and
makes assurance double sure"
