OCEAN CURRENTS
Utilized in the IOnIan Islands 10
Run Mills.

Argostolli. the capital of Cephalonia. the
largest Of the Ionian islands, has two UNIQUE
mills-water mills-which derive their power
from the ocean, says the Philadelphia Record
The city is located on a deep bay, entrance
to which from the sea Is made through a.
narrow strait between two capes The cur
rent in this narrow passage IS very strong
and this fact Is being made use of by placing
the two water mills on its banks
Cur1ously enough the current always flows
in one direction and not to and fro as one
would expect. The water which flows into the
bay disappears in the crevicess Of the promon-
otories, cleft in twain by frequent earth
quakes. Where the current goes, however it
has been impossible to discover, although
many biologists have busted themselves
with the problem.
Repeated earthquakes have torn the rocks
in many places, and that Of Feb. f. 1857 de-
stroyed two towns and more than forty vii
lagos by its exceptional severity. The theory
that the current Is simply filling up these
large the crevices they would have been filled
long before this in the course of the decades
and centuries.
Quite recently two English scientists ex-
amined the current, and gave their opin-
ion that the continuous current in one direc-
ton can be explained by the fact that the
waters rush through subterranean caves
passing over hot channels, and that the
heated water forms the hot salt water springs
found little further away outside of the
bay, on the coast of the island. The existence
of such a subterranean current is believed
possible, and might be explained Dy the ne
culiar formation of the coast but no positive
proof Of this theory has been presented.

ga FOOL FOR LUCK

If one were asked to explain the
reason Of the expression "a fool for
luck" he might make it by an illus
tration and take several epochs in the
brief history Of the Republican party
for his object lesson. Most conspicuous
of these have been the coincidence of
bumper crops with years when dis
aster seemed unavoidable. The theft

remaining from the panic Of 1873, the
growing strength of greenbackism.

the time set for resumption Of specie
payments, attended as the progress of
that policy, had been with falling
prices, created a condition that gave
rise to apprehensions of the result of

SOCIETY ON THE RANGE.
How the Cowboy Appears in the
RalI Room

Sometimes in the winter season society in
the COW town would be elivened by a ball
says the Chautauquan. Such an occasion
was a singular and somewhat austere event
and one which it would be difficult to match
today in all the land. The news of the COM
ing ball spread after the mysterious fashion
of the plains, SO that in some mysterious way
it became known far and wide across the
range, The cowboys fifty miles away were
sure to hear of it and be on hand, coming
horseback from their ranches each man
clad in what he thought was his best The
entire populace of the cow town was there

Between dances the cowpuncher entertained

A FITTING MEMORIAL.

In the search for a fitting method to
commemorate the illustrious dead, it
seems to US that the friends of the
poet Tennyson have made the most
admirable choice. The honor of rest
ing place in Westminster Abbey did
not serve to- express their personal
feeling of love for and indebtedness to
the laureate, and they have erected,
by private subscription, a noble monu-
ment near the poets home on the Isle
of Wight. 1t consists Of an Iona cross
of Cornish granite, thirty-two feet in
height, to be known henceforth as the
Tennyson beacon; and to stand for
ever, in the sight of those who go
down to the sea in ships, as a memo
rial of one who. loved and served his
race rs
Why may we not find in this a good
suggestion for the future? The pub
lie is weary Of the ordinary monument
Of columns covered with sculptured
relief, and of equestrian and other
statues, that are usually as faulty as
works of art as they are unadaptad
to the purpose of public ornamental
ton. The parks of the great cities
are full Of pedesta1s occupied by sit
ting or standing figures in stone, con-
corning whose identity only the curious
inquire The stately mausoleum is
or nI11y 04I,
similar place of sepulture We have
never yet evolved a sensible and ar
tistic scheme, consistent with good
taste, for public memorials to men IA
nous in literature or science or public
life.
Why not follow the Tennyson idea
and erect such monuments on the com
handing face of our sea line, where
they may look out constantly to well
come the old, world to the achieve
ments of ther new? Let them be
crowned, when it may be, with bea-
con lights that shall flash their il
Elimination far out to sea, and night
and day it Will tell mute story of
by-gone greatness. 1t would be a
thousand times more fitting to the
character Of those whose lives deserve
the tribute of a prominent monument
to recognize it thus, instead of multi
plying the hideoqs monuments and
statues that are becoming character
istic of the American city.

ments of fortune to understand 1T,
and know the uselessness of stemming
the tide. If the quality Of our civiliza-
ton is such that it has taught the
bulk Of mankind to regard the accumu-
lation of wealth as the primary object
finer and dearer than life itself, why
should we shrink with such horror
when it is merely the body that is put
in pawn? 1t is not possible that any
considerable number of people should
now be ignorant of the difficulties and
dangers in reaching the Klondike. If
they go, they go with their eyes open,
and the risks that they run are known.
Acting with full knowledge, if they
take this desperate chance, it is prob
ably better for them that they should
take it. When a man is so swallowed
up by the idea that wealth will COM
pensate for the loss of everything
else, and that 1t is worth while for him
to grasp it or die in the attempt, it is
probably best that he should be put to
the issue. If he die in vain essay, he
has at least died while seeking for what
seems to him worthiest. If his motive
appear to many a low and unworthy
one, may it not yet be as well, in the
long run, that he should go out of the
world for the sake of a poor ideal as to
stay in it without the capacity to cher
ish a better?
There should be no cessation of eff
| fort to place complete information
about the conditions of access to the
new gold fields before the whole pub
lie. That being done, appeals to their
fears or their love of comfort are idle
and foolish. Men live much or little

| Of them lives best when all of his ener-
| gies are bent to the achievement of

A WORTHY PERFORMANCE.

The entire performance of the Peo-
pies party in the state of Ohio seems
to us to be not only worthy Of it's gen
cation to the public of what Populism
stands for in our political life today
that it ought to receive more than the
passing notice of a smile The Peoples
party has tended strongly, in it's plat
forms and it's candidates, to represent
defiance of the established order in
has brought to the front strange vagar-
les, and it's leadership has consisted
mostly of men of views in which ignor-
ance and violence were strangely
blended. Populism means a defiance of
all the experience Of mankind, to-
gether with revolt against the ordi-
nanceS of society and the state that
have been found necessary to secure
even the beginning of Individual Hber-
ty. It's hand is against every man;
and, if it could have it's undisputed
eminent, with foundations laid in ha-
tired and suspicion, and below them,
as a support, only the yawning cavity
of theories a thousand times proved
worthless.
We have seldom found any practical
exposition of the Peoples party doc
t1ine in practice as instructive and
as close to its models as it's Ohio state
convention. The proceedings and per-
formances of this body were marked
throughout by the genuine character
istics Of Populism 1t began with
bitter charges of corruption made by
Populists against Populists, and degen-
Grated into a hand-to-hand skirmish
which could be brought to finish only
by the irruption of an entire squad Of
policemen. This is the spirit in which
Populists meet everybody else, and the
spirit in which they meet one another
No man among them could have the
conception that any other man was
moved by another impulse than corrup-
ton and the impulse of a bride re-
ceived or the hope OF one to come. The
venom with which the Peoples party
attacks every other organization and
institution is innate. 1t is vented as
freely against fellow members as
against outsiders.
Having had their differences settled
by the police, the major faction fol-
lowed the examples of the pa. ties that
Populism decries by seating all it's own
delegates and unseating the others

old friend Coxey? Coxey of the tramp

has made a shrewd speculation out of
his political buffoonery and plays the
clown for compensation, reckless of
the effect upon the public veal and
upon his miserable and deluded follow
ers, is put forward as the candidate
for governor of a party that assumes

political reform. Populism has burst
