lism and protection-human Institutes are apt
to sink somewhat below that level. The
strife to fix 1t high or low arises out of di-
vergencies in opinions among the combat

the final result of every conflict; for / truly
believe that, In the long run, truth is mighty
and will prevail
Indeed, if good government were beleag-
uered by bad men only the world would
have very much less to fear. 1t is because
of the mistakes of good men that nations have
trembled in the balance, that truth has
seemed to waver in it's flight and that the
wanton sacrifices to passion and error. Thanks
to God, we have outlived the gibbet and

and deaf ears, still stalks her dreadful round
To lift the bandage from those eyes, to

which has brought us together this night.

Balloon LifebOots.

The big ocean greyhounds will soon,
it is thought, be equipped with life
boats harnessed to balloons, so as to
be practically unsuitable. Cylinders
filled with compressed gas will be
placed in compartments of the lifeboats,
and from these the balloon, which will
be harnessed with cords to hollow
mast connected with the cylinders, is
inflated. The mast, which is iron tub
ing, is adjustable, and when turned for
ward, the big balloon acts as a sail, oars
proving quite unnecessary. The com
sbination boat will doubtless prove of
che greatest service in saving people far
q out at sea. In a recent test it was shown
that, even with the boat filed with
water to the gunwales, the lifting power
of the balloon prevented the craft from
either sinking or upsetting. g.-Cincinnat

When Mar. Was Inhabited.

There are many reasons in favor of
the supposition that Mars is more like
ly to have been inhabited in past ages
than at the present time, in spite of its
atmosphere or water or clouds. Mr..
Proctor, for instance, has pointed out
that globe of the size of Mars would
cool as quickly as one of the size of
the earth. If the earth and Mars were
in similar condition 100000 years
ago, Mars would have attained, accord
ing to that rate of cooling, to the earth's
present condition, 1000, 900 years.. e.,
100000 years ago-and the earth
woud now require 2s,OoO,oo0 future
years in which to cool as much as Mars
has cooled during the last 11,000, 900
years. So far as regards this considera-
tion, therefore, the probability of the
present habitability of Mars must be
compared with the probability of the
earth's being inhabited when $4,000, 900
more years will be past and gone

The Indian certainly shows a fine
sense of propriety when he named the
bull dog "a good-bad dog" The name
fits very we'll. Maj. Peter Roman, agent
of the Flathead Indians in western
Montana, purchased fine blooded and
ugly-faced bulldog, not tc guard his
pleasant quarters at the Flathead
agency, but to give his Indian wards
a new subject for study in the animal
kingdom. The appearance of this
strange quadruped caused as much ex-
citement among those untutored sons
of the forest as behemoth of the paleo-
zoic age would arouse by a sudden ap-
pearance on Main street. The chiefs
held long consultation over the char
acteristics of the animal, and finally
decided to call him "a good-bad dog"
The first adjective is doubtless caused
by certain Indian sense of diplomacy
to be exercised in addressing the ami
NAL, while the latter is evidence of the
red mans regard for truth at all times.
At all events, the name is worth study

Many people have genuine Curl

age. An easy way to put the matter
to test is to stand before the ordinary

rnpsrssA to Free the lsannA frDo Rna-
Ths Pest n ExssxRinatea ~ TSeAA
The introduction of the mongoose
into Jamaica marks one of the stand
ard instances of unexpected results fol-
lowing upon an attempt to artificialize
the process of natural selection. and
takes rank as a warming with the
tralia. The mongoose was introduced
from India, in 1S1s. in order to abate
the pest of rats which infested the
sugar canes, and after performing this
salutary duty it increased and multi
piled to such an extent that not only
the rats and mice but most of the lfv-
ing species of the island were threat
ened with extinction. Poultry suffered
first. but the depreiations extended to
young pigs. kids. lambs. newly dropped
calves. puppies and kittens. Game of
all kinds was attacked. both living and
in the egg. The marauder ate even
fish, and made such a speciality of
snakes. ground lizards. frogs. turtles
and land crabs. that many kinds of
these entirely disappeared. Finally the
mongoose developed a ravenous desire
for bananas. pineapples. young corn.
avocado pears, cocoas. vans and the
sugar canes which it had been called
in to protect. winding up its tastes
with an appetite for salt meat.
The result was . wholesale disap-
pearance of species. A few birds. like
the ground dove. had the sense to shift
their breeding places to the tops of the
prickly cacti. where they were safe:
but other animals. and the reptiles in
particular. suffered so severely that
many kinds were believed for years
to be extinct. AS a consequence there
arose yet another plague. Insects like
the ticks and ''jigger." Tor chigorsl.
which used to be kept down by the
snakes. increased so overpoweringly
that men and cattle were grievously
infested. One could not walk without
being covered with them.
The victory over the island remained
with the tick and mongoose. until. with
in the past year or two. a fresh stage
set in. The mougoose Suddenly began
to be less plentiful. and It WAS found
that he hod fallen victim to the tick.
The results of the diminutiou are
shown in the gradual temperance of
other beasts. birds and reptiles. Among
the snakes there is a very marked in
crease. and even the ground lizard.
supposed to be quite extinct. has be-
come common again. The balance of
life has begun to reassert itself and
naturalists will watch with curiosity
for complete reinstatement of the
previous fauna. The renewed depreda-
tions of rats are hailed as an advent of
salvation. and. odd as it may sound.
the increase in numbers of the croco-
die is taken as happy omen. The
Jamaicans are not likely to make fur
ther experiments in this interesting do
main of natural history. but will ad-
here in future to such present evils as
they have. For them. at any rate. it
has been no Imaginary mongoose."-

Unsuitable Appetite Of the Goldfish Makes

Goldfish Is never more happy than
when he is hung to q line. He will
travel 100 marine leagues if he hears
that some man in little fishing dory
has a hook out. He never learns that
the dainty, juicy morsel swinging to
and fro 80 or 40 fathoms down in the
sea conceals a steel barb His ancestors
have successfully gone on making the
same objectionable mistake ever since
the waters of the great deep were gath
cred together. Other creatures, in the
light of a dreadful experience. have
picked up an instinct that there is dan
ger in a hook, but the cod does not and
is pulled in. And his family of young
sters-he leaves behind 1000 of them
sooner OF later will follow him into q
cask.
So the chap in the dory drifting quiet
ly over the bank watches his two lines
and awaits the inevitable jerk which
tells of the presence of the voracious
nibble does not come soon that cod has
other fish to fry. because it is always
eating or going to eat. 1t is the ma
zine personification of famine and
starves with its stomach full OF food.
Old fishers say that a cod will gulp
down a baited hook with his mouth
filled with a salmon he has just caught.
There have been several cases where
this gourmand of the seas has man.
aged to get away with a hook. sinker
and several fathoms of heavy line. to
be caught few minutes later by a new
fishing tackle.
Notwithstanding the fearful mortality
among this fish. so anxious to get
caught that only the most remarkable
error on its part can save its life. it de-
fies determination. 1t spawns and
swarms and thickens the sea with it
self. 1t has been said that IL the Gods
many enemies ceased working on him,
and if he did not die himself from over
eating, he and the different members
of his family would soon fill the ocean
from bottom to surface and from shore
to shore. In fact. there would be no
| more sea.
Being a juicy, delectable morsel is
not the only good thing that can be said
