new theory of sun-stroke has recently
been expounded and is of particular in
terest at this season, when the source of
the worlds heat is getting in it's hottest
work. This theory is that what is called
sunstroke is in fact the creation within the
blood of the victim of a specific poison that
acts upon the nerve centers or ganglia and
so affects the brain and the other organs
of the body and often causes death. The
poison is created by sort of chemical re-
action and is thought to be made possible
by certain conditions of the kidneys The
intense heat is, of course, the prime cause
of the reaction, and is aided by injudicious
use OF foods and drinks. The next effort
of those who are working out this theory
will be to secure, if possible, sample of
the poison element itself in order to ana
lyze it, and perhaps to find an antidote.
The recent remedies for sunstroke are
practically confined to efforts to reduce the
temperature of the body of the victim.

No Transatlantic Tclcpboue

One of the electrical ideals of this end of
the century has been shelved as impracti-
cable. perhaps forever. This was the
notion that by some ingenious device it
would be made possible to talk across
the Atlantic ocean. Just as intelligence
is now transmitted beneath the sea by
means of the great cables. The able
system In its present stage of de-
velopment is not wholly satisfactory to
scientists or to its users 1t has been
thought that the recent great extension of
the field of telephone communication meant
that there was no practical limit to the dis
tance over which the human voice could be
sent by means of the electric current and
thus from the success of the first expert
ments at long-dstance telephoning which
enabled citizens of Washington to talk to
those of New York and other far-away cit
les sprang the inspiration of trans-ocs anic
telephoning. Extensive experiments have
been quietly conducted of late along this
line but with 50 little success that the eff
fort has been definitely abandoned The
resistance offered by the cable is too great
to be overcome anywhere WITHIN the range
OF economy. 1t is estimated that even if
the voice could be reproduced at this euor-
nous distance the cost would he prohibitive,
reaching so or 800 a minute AT such a
rate there would be little or no demand for
the oceanic telephone. And the scientific
feasibility of the scheme at any cost is still
in doubt

ancestry they would have to yield to the
Roses of Sharon or the Daughters of the

crowned in the early fall with a real gold

respond to the Netherlands colors and
around her queenly shoulders is to be

therefore for his reward. He is now mis-
party's nominee for governor, ard his cleo
ton is assured.
What a contrast is here to the attitude
of the Maryland 6emocr ats and especially
of their leader, In the one state the de-
mocracy exhibits the full courage or Its
convictions. 1t believes in something, ana
defines that something. Friends and Toes
alike can distinguish its standard In the
other state the party's platform is deity
executed piece of insincerity. 1t means
anything or nothing. as one pleases. The
Bryan men are asked to accept 1t because
It mentions silver. and gold democrats are
asked to accept 1t because it mentions gold.
1t is a trick which ought to cost the de-
mocracy tie state election.
In the one leader are found candor and
thorough conviction, who wants no ONCE
for himself or success for his party except
upon a clear statement Of purpose. In the
other leader are found evasion and Shift
ness of almost unmatched quality, who can
give red fox pointers about doubling on a
trail, and who has never pursued straight
course in his political life.

Mexico experiences great difficulty in iiv-
ing up to its pretensions as an object lesson
of prosperity under unlimited silver coin
age. That nation is growing very weary of
proclaiming that it enjoys and profits by
the uncertainties of a fiuctuating and de-
preciating money. 1t no longer, like the
fox in the fable which had lost its tail, en-
deavors by Boosting to cause its brethren
to cut off these useful appendages. but it
begins TO appreciate and to bemoan the in
conveniences and evils of it's tail-less con-
dition.
The principal advantage claimed for Mex
leo from its use of silver was that 1t threw
the nation on its own resources, and de-
velopej local industries. The prices of
ticles made outside of Mexico when -ex
pressed in the deprecated silver in which
the people of that country are paid are so
enormous that most Mexicans cannot afford
to buy them, and must make them at home
if they are to have them at all. The re-
sult in this respect is the same If
prohibtive tariff duty had been placed
upon every foreign product. The alleged
benefits are the same as those ascribed to
the system of protection carried to its
logical extreme, and would be enjoyed
without the evils of severe fluctuations in
tional advantage of revenue from those
imported products which cannot by any
possibility be produced in Mexico, if that
government should adopt and enforce the
most extreme of protective tariffs.
The other factor in the prosperity of
those Mexicans who have prospered is the
cheap labor. which has no wants that the
world outside of Mexico alone can satisfy,
and which is content to be paid pitiful
wages. expressed in money which is becom-
ing almost valueless outside of Mexico.
The privilege of paying laborers in this
sort of money is valuable to the capitalists
who employ them and who sell their prod
ucts to the outside world for gold. Bank
ers and money-changers even profit by the
fluctuations in silver's value, that bring
certainty and a gambling element into
every business transaction. But the classes
in Mexico who thrive are not the people.
The Mexican peon corresponds to the
American workingman. Under a broad in
depreciation of the word the workingman
rules in the United States, and he is not
likely to yearn for Mexican temporary
prosperity of the classes al the expense Of
the masses, or to consent to reduce his
wants ard aspirations to the poems level
In order that the capitalist and banker may
enjoy the promised benefits.
But the depreciation of silver has gone so
Tar that even the favored classes of Mexi-
co. in spite of the advantage of cheap and
easily deluded labor and of a clumsy and
indirect protective system, are beginning
to feel the pinch; and one may reasonably
anticipate that before long all Mexico will
appreciate and confess the unqualified evil
OF a huctuating and depreciating currency

A Nice aues,ion Of precedence

The approaching coronation of Miss
Dempsey, of New York, as National Queen
of the Holland Danes of New Netherlands
opens up wide field of conjecture and to
any one who looks ahead the range of pos
sible complications appears all but infinite
The New York Dame in question was
elected National Queen at the recent meet
ing of the order held in this city. She was
one Queen already, queen of the New
York branch. Now in her dual capacity
two queens in one card, so to speak, The
question naturally arises as to whether she
would not even take precedence of the
joker. But when one strikes the question
of precedence he Is all at sea. For a ma
ton that is supposed to be a pure republic
the United States is probably better pro-
vided with aristocratic institutions than
any other country on the face Of the globe
What with the Holland Danes, the Hol-
land Danes of New Netherlands. the
Daughters of the Revolution, the Daugh.
tiers of the American Revolution, the
Daughters Of Rebccca, and the Daughters
Of the Hawaiian Revolution, there Is but
little left wherein Americans can envy the
effete monarchies of Europe Surely any
right minded woman would rather be the
daughter Of a great revolution than the
wife of an English lord or petty Germ an
princeiet. But of these societies and 9TH
ers of similar sort. too many to be even

An Unofficial Currency Commission.

An Unofficial Currency Commission.
There is a persistent effort in certain
quarters to misrepresent those SOUND
money business men who met in non-par-
tisan convention at Indianapolis in Janu-
airy and took steps to have the sense OF
the business interests of the country sound
ed on the question of currency REFORM
They are accused of trying to usurp the
functions of Congress. The bill which is
to grow out of their Investigations for pre-
sentation to Congress will, 1t is stated, be
an impertineEce offered to Congress. That
is absurd. 1t is no unusual thing for bills
of wise and practical nature to originate
outside of Congressional circles and be in
troduced by request Now and then such
bills become laws. The Torrey bankruptcy
bill, which several Houses have considered,
and which the present House will be asked
to consider, did not originate in Congress-
ional circles. Its author is lawyer in
private practice, and had no commission to
prepare a bankruptcy measure. But
number of lawyers in Congress think high
ly of his work.
The bill which will embody the views Of
the convention referred to will not be the
only bill relating to the currency question
which the banking and currency commit
tee of the House will be called upon next
winter to consider. There are certain to be
number of such bills, representing a va
riety of views and emanating from va
riety of sources. All interests will be rep
resented, and many men of note in politics
and finance will in that way have their
say" The more bills the better. The
committee, If it acts at all, will report but
one, and if that proves to be such one as
ought naturally to grow out of full infor-
nation, and Congress passes 1t, the coun-
try ought to benefit.
Another criticism heard is that discus
SION of the subject at this time is inadvis-
able. Why inadvisable? What harm can
come of formally discussing what is
common topic in informal talk? The cur
rency question, like the free coinage CUES
ton, will not down. 1t must be met and
next winter Congress is likely to devote
days to debating it. Business interests
need not be disturbed by this, because
they have the assurance that whatever
may be the trend of discussion on this SUBJ
ject or that, the present administration will
keep all the money of the country as good
as gold and exchangeable for gold at the
holders option. That Is the vital point,
and on that point the country has no cause
for fear No currency bill questionable on
the score of the public credit could become
a law as matters now stand.
