Astronomers believe that they have discovered that the two smallest plan- cts, Mercury and Venus, which are both nearer the sun than the earth, have practically stopped revolving around their respective axes. Each of these planets, 1t is claimed, revolves on It's axis in the same time 1t takes to journey completely round the sun. This results in only one side of each planet receiving the sunlight Hence there Is everlasting night on One-half of each planet and everlasting day on the other half. This is the same condition as pre- walls on our moon. So that, if astronom. CTS are correct, the solar system has three worlds that to all appearances are dead. Three dead worlds! Can this be possible In a universe we have been accustomed to look upon as full of life? Suppose the astronomers are right in stating that Venus and Mercury have no revolution that can produce the changes of night and day, so that per petual night reigns on One-half of each planet. It does not follow that life cannot exist in these worlds. Before deciding that these orbs are destitute of life, the factor of human activity or the activity of beings akin to human beings must be considered. If these worlds have ceased to revolve except extremely slowly, does this not mean that they are much older than the other  planets? And if older whatever life existed on them must have attained a wisdom we know nothing of. What is there against the idea that the dark sides of these worlds are brilliantly lit up with electricity and warmed by the same agency? They may be thickly peopled by beings who work and play on the bright side for period and then retire to the dark regions for rest. This Is more attractive view than the one that dead worlds cumber the universe.

4 Berlin dispatch says that hereafi

4 Berlin dispatch says that hereafter 1t will be the settled policy of the Ger man Government to direct the stream of German emigration elsewhere than 10 the United States. South and Cen tral American countries are mentioned as the places to which an attempt will be made to turn the tide, the reason assigned being that in those countries 'the autonomous and uniform makeup of German colonies will not be politi- cally interfered with" This is very vague, but probably it means that Ger man emigrants to South America can still continue to be German citizens ard subject to military duty The Ger man immigration is as good as we get from Europe, and yet the United States is not suffering even for that. If Ger man emigrants prefer South or Gen. tral America let them go there, but it is doubtful if the efforts of the Gov ernment to control the matter will amount to much.

Why He Limped.

4 Washington correspondent sends to the New York Tribune a story of a Southern member of Congress, whose mind Is never on earthly things" The daughter of one of his oldest friends was to be married, and he was invited to the wedding
 At the very last moment an affair of some importance demanded his atten- tion, and he found it impossible to be present at the ceremony in church, but he sent his wife, promising to meet her at the reception an hour afterward They met accordingly, and no one of all the guests was happier than he in his wishes to the bride. His wife was so filled with pride in her husband that it was some time before she discovered that he was limping badly.
 "Are you lame, dear?" she whispered.
 .'No, certainly not" he said. "Why do you ask"
 "You limp so," she answered.
 Then, looking down at his feet, she discovered the cause. Her better-half had on one foot a heelless slipper, and on the other a shoe with a military heel. He had been interrupted, 1t seems, while changing his shoes, and when at leisure, forgot to complete the opera urated by 'Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John," went to the wedding with one shoe off and one shoe on.

There Is one institution in France which has hitherto contrived to with stand all the numerous and revolution ary changes of government, namely: the Bank of France, which owes its origin to the first Napoleon. The Ques- tion as to the renewal of its charter has just come up for discussion in the Leg islature, which has voted Its prolonga- tion. Since the foundation of the bank it has had but ten governors, while France has during the same period of time had no less than nine different regimes and considerably over a hun dred Cabinets.

Voting by machinery has not yet been perfected so far as practical dem- onstration shows. The apparatus which was used at Troy, N. r., broke down after 1t had worked while and caused the electors and judges no end of trouble, FOrty-two men had voted up to the time of the accident. and when the recording dials were exam ined to discover the cause of the acci- dent. 1t was found that by some error of the mechanism all these votes were recorded for one set of candidates. IL may be that these cOntraptions can be made absolutely flawless, but until that time the old way of voting would bet ter be adhered 10.

The multiplex printing telegraph. in vented by Prof. Henry A. Rowland. Of the Johns Hopkins University. Balti- more, will soon be put upon the mar ket. By the instrument an operator can transmit telegram written upon a typewriter and have 1t reproduced in typewriter form at the receiving end. In addition to the typewriting part of the invention, Dr. Rowland. with his new machine, can send over the same wire five or six different messages at the same time in one direction, which, sages that can be transmitted on the same wire at the same time. Thus. with i've operators at each end of a line, sending each an average of thirty words a minute, 300 words can be transmitted each minute. Dr. Row land inquired at the Patent Office in Washington, and was informed that no such invention has ever been receiv- ed there, typewriting telegraphy hav- ing been attempted before. but upon entirely different principles. He has used a synchonOus device in his inven- ton, and In the mechanical arrange ment of the typewriter has used but eight combinations. The current of electricity transmitting the message can be relayed, and in this manner the invention can be operated for great distances. When completed, pr. Row. land says, the new instrument will be as convenient and as easily operated as the ordinary telegraphic dispatching and receiving apparatus.

ister to the Mikado's Land.
 Alfred E. Buck, nominated as envoy extraordinary and minister plenlpoten- tlary of the United States to Japan, owes his success to the fact of the warm personal and political friendship existing between President Mckinley and himself. Col. Buck was born at FOxcroft, Me, Feb, [, 1882. His thirst for knowledge was so great that by his own exertions he paid his way through college and was graduated with high honors, having been the Latin saluta- torian of his class. With the pertinaci- ty that has always characterized his actions he taught school at HallOwell, Me-, afterward becoming principal of the Lewiston high school. At the close of the war, through which he fought with great credit, he was appointed clerk of the United States Circuit and District Courts of Georgia, resignIng this position in 1887 to become United States Marshal.

Can We ever truly benefit ourselves without benefiting our neighbors? We each have a certain amount of capac- ity and power in various directions, which We are continually giving out to the world, either in the form of work, or assistance, or affection, or influence, or in some other way. This power may be wasted and diminished, or devel- oped and increased. One of the chief causes of the former is an enfeebled organization and impaired vitality, and a large factor in the latter is a health .,d and vigorous condition of the phys Ical system. It is true that these are not wholly under our own control, but science Is daily revealing to Ills how

Neither mendIcants nor millionaires are the happiest of mankind. The man who has a good business, and who can make a reasonable living and lay aside something for the future, who can educate his children and can leave enough to keep the wolf of want from the door of those he loves, ought to be the happlest of men.

A SLIGHT CORRECTION.

In recent issue of the Las Vegas Op-
tic there appeared the following corre-
spondence from Santa Fe:
Santa Fe, N. M, Nov. l, 1897-Mr.
Wolcott Lay of Ohio, special agent of the
Interior department, to inspect Indian
agencies, schools, etc., is making his
headq q uarters at the CLAIRE hotel here. He
was once private secretary for President
Hayes, is said to be near kinsman Of
President Mckinley, and he is as CON
genial a man az You would desire to meet.
Mr.. Lay is deeply interested in the In
dian question. He Gays the government
has record of all the graduates from
Carlisle and their doiogs after they
reach the reservation, and he asserts that
80 per cent of the educated Indians have
turned out we'll. The fact that the Indian
considers himself better than the white
man, he admits, is bar to making such
progress toward educating aud civilizing
them, yet nevertheless he considers that
the government policy IN calling on the
taxpayers to clothe, feed and educate
them is .good form" and will rebound to
the rational credit in the end-or after q
lerge number of funerals have taken
place among the old bucks and squaws.
M. Lay, il is evident, is a man of opin.
ions and 10 not afraid to express them,
and ss such 1t is refreshing to the aver
aae veeterner to come Ia contact with
him. He is taking notes and studying the
d usstion for which he was sent west with
/ seal shat most inspectors fall far short
81, and, while all he said cannot now be

printed, it is safe to say that he will make
Secretary Bliss when ne retdrna TO Wash
ington. -
The above is very nice and all that and
very important were it true the fact Is
that Mr.. Wolcott Lay is special agent
of the Treasury department, was in Santa
Fe on official business to Inspect the a.
fairs of the office of Judge A. l.. Morrl-
son, collector of internal revenue, and
left Santa Fe to go to Denver to inspect
the Office OF the collector of internal
revenue in that city. Mr.. Lay never was
private secretary to President Hayes and
is not related to President Mckinley, He
knows no more about Indian affairs and
Indians than does the average citizen.
He has no connection with the Iudian
service and has been connected with the
Treasury department since 1864, ex-
cept for three years under the second
Cleveland administration. He is one
of the best posted men on revenue
matters, both internal and customs serv-
ice, in the country and is one of three
agents who perform confidential duty as
inspectors of collectors offices through
out the country.
