Interesting rs Mercury thus proves to
be, the interest as regards the planet itself
is of rather corpselike character. Less
deterrent perhaps is the interest it pos
sesses as IA part of the life history of the
solar system. For tidal friction, the clos

it where it is The machine has run down.
Whether it ever supported life upon its
surface or not, the power TO do so has now
forever passed away. Like Venus, and for
like cause, it Is now dead world. And it
was the first thus To reach the end of its
evolutionary career, earlier to do so than
Venus, inasmuch as tidal action was very
much greater upon il than on Venus, and
consequently produced its effect more
quickly Mercury has long been dead. How
long, measured by centuries, we cannot
say, but practically for very long time.
Venus must have become so comparatively

SISTER WHIrE,S CHESS.

Those who have asserted that the bicycle demoralizes Woman and makes her love a poor thing can learn some thing from the declaration made by Mrs. Hattie White, the beautiful win her of the triple century bicycle con- test. She says: q love my husband best and my wheel next. I guess I nave put them in their proper places in my affections" That guess is a little disturbing, but as a whole the declara- tion is highly pleasing, both to MT. White and to all who have been afraid that Woman was wheeling away from love and duty A woman who can win in a triple century contest and declare right in the heat and the weariness of victory that she guesses she loves her husband better than she does her bicy- cle is all right, and her husband is all right too. The slight uncertainty will tend to keep both him and her guessing, and it is we'll known that there is noth- ing like a little uncertainty to keep the flame of love brightly burning. If Mrs. White had guessed that she loved her wheel better than she loves MT. White, or if she had said she loved her wheel without mentioning MT. White the croakers would have had some cause to croak and so would MT. White. But there is no cause now, and Sister White is a shining light and example to all married women who ride the wheel and are asked to guess whether their husbands or their wheels have the first place in their love.

ONE sr1rEn PROBLEM so1vED,

This country has done much for sil- yer, but silver doesn't seem to be recip- rocating. The fall in the price of silver has seriously damaged several branches of our foreign commerce, among them the cotton cloth trade in China. In fact, it has practically stopped it. New York exporters say they have not had an inquiry for cotton goods from China since early in July. The process by which this unfortunate result has been brought about is simple. The Chinese trade is carried on through brokers or ''comprados,' as they are called. These agents finance the transactions. The goods are sold in New York payable in ten days from the date of the bill of lading. The comprado, however, all lows the Chinese from three to six months credit This plan is well enough so long as there is reasonable certainty as to the exchange rates, but when, as for two months past it is impossible to tell a week in advance what will be the value of silver in terms of gold, these contracts are hazardous. With silver declining rapidly, the comprado must put up his price and still take heavy risks besides. Following this, the Chinese merchant must raise the price of his goods and the certain re- suit is falling off in sales. This is ex- actly what has happened, and the drills and brown sheeting that have been piled by the cotton mills of New Eng land come near being drug in the market. Some of the Lowell mills have had an immense trade in China for decade or more. Now these goods will enter into competition in the home market, unless some other and unex- pected outlet for them can be found.
 Perhaps the silverites will be able to find in this condition of things a reason why this country should do something more for silver.

The officials of the Pension office have, since the incoming of the present ad- ministration, sought to secure a trop- ical growth about the fountain In the great court of the Pension office, and, learning of these mammoth palms, have taken means to secure them if possible, They will doubtless succeed, as the trees will be destroyed If not removed from the Botanical Gardens. One or both will be planted at the side of the fountain, where they will have room to tower up one hundred feet or more, and to spread their foliage without hindrance. It is believed that within few years they will become one of the great sights of the capital, for mo- where else are such plants grown in captivity to such proportions, and there are few places where they could attain the size which can be permitted in the court of the Pension office.

Mount Hamilton. At Lake Geneva he had been able to view them with unu- sual distinctness. After Professor Bar hard had swept the sky in the region of the nebulae, he pointed the instrument toward region located to the astrono- mer in Pos. S12 degrees; Dist. 53 min utes. Professor Burnham had fre- quently pointed the Lick instrument at the same spot with the expectation of finding something new. To Burnham on Mount Hamilton it was all space and nothing more. He watched whole nights and discovered nothing, He swung the giant tube toward the re- zion, and the first discovery at the Yerkes Observatory was registered on the dial near the dome, The unknown wanderer was found near Wlnnecke's companion to Vega. Although it might claim some distant relationship to Vegas companion, it is too far away to be considered as physically connected with the luminary, and may have an orbit of its own. As Vega has been one of the best-observed bodies of the heav- only wanderers the discovery speaks volumes for the new lens. It also dis proves the theory of Professor Lowell as to the unfavorable atmospheric con- ditions of the region in which the tele- scope is located. d.-Chicago Times-Her- ald

 YERKES LENS.

The great Yerkes telescope has un- masked hitherto unseen worlds. The great lens has been focused into space, and to the great joy of Director Hale and Professor Barnard and their asso- ciates the light-gathering power of the glass has been proved perfect It far surpasses. the thirty -six-inch lens of the Lick Observatory, and Professor Burn ham, who is acquainted with all the great telescopes in this country and abroad. has given it as his opinion that the Yerkes lens is the most powerful of all
 The wonderfully constructed lens has light-gathering powers that pierce far into the unknown, and even the hay mists of the nebulae have been pene- trated. Most of the objects connected with the nebula in Lyra, the great clus- ter in Hercules, and the dumb-bell neb- ula have yielded up their secrets in the past only through the agency of the photographic plates.

with the necessary charm of novelty. It comes as yet only in dress pattern lengths and is found at the most exclu- sive stores. It is of broadcloth finish
 and flexible as cashmere. It comes in solid colors only, dull greens, all the darker bronze browns, dull reds and
 very soft purple; along the length of the goods four or five strips of satin
 give the effect of rows of satin ribbon,
 the color of the satin matching that of the wool. The material will probably
 be sold by the yard later in the season. It comes very wide and is likely to be expensive enough to keep it exclusive, while its perfect taste and quality make
 it wise purchase.
 As to the method of making, it
 won't do for most women to cut such costly stuff until the winter styles have announced themselves positively, and that won't be much before November
 In the meantime it is a lucky-or per haps a wise-woman whose spring tailor-made dress was bought fairly late in the season and in material and color was chosen with a view to its useful ness this fall. That same tailor-made dress has been used very little, if any, this summer, and is now fresh and suitable for wear until November shall be well gone. If you didn't buy in this way, you probably are dreadfully wor- ried just now over the need of a pretty gown to put on for home coming city wear There are lots of passengers in this same boat, and unless their purses permit considerable outlay, their choice is difficult to make. But the economy regiments should rejoice just because this uncertainty in styles permits them to continue for month or two with the present fashions. FLORETTE.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

It may not be long before postal sav- ings banks are esta blished in this coun- try, although the need for them Is not as pressing as it is in some countries. It is expected that bill for the estab- lishment of such banks will be intro- duced at the next session of congress.
 It is probable that one of the members from the State of Illinois will present the bill drawn up for the Chicago Rec ord, and which that paper is promoting with much enthusiasm. The bill pro- vides for the designation of several postoffices of the first and second class es as Repositories for the reception of such sums as the people may elect
 ment will be pledged to secure deposit CTS. To make that credit doubly se- der the direction of a responsible exec utive officer, will invest all sums depos- ited as savings in national, State or municipal bonds of known value and regularity of issue. These bonds will be held as reserves for the security of depositors. The Repositories or post office banks will pay interest on de- posits at the rate of two per cent. per annum, and no more. The interest
 earnings of the bonds held as reserves
 will provide for the payment of the l interest on deposits and the cost of

maintaining the postal banks. The rate of interest is low one, but the depositors take no risks. They are assured of the payment of their inter- est and the return of their principal on demand. The object is not to dis courage legitimate banking as it now exists, but to provide a safe and con- venient means for small earners to husband their savings. The amount of the deposit is not restricted. Any amount from two cents to twenty or more dollars will be received at any time, and interest will begin to accu- mulate the day the deposit is made.

It Is announced that a Moscow den- tist has solved the problem of supply ing the human mouth with false teeth which will grow into the gums as firm ly as natural ones. Dr. Zamesky has performed several successful operations on dogs as well as human beings. The teeth are made of gutta percha. porce- lain, or metal, as the case may be. At the root of the false tooth holes are made. Holes are also made upward into the jaw. The tooth is then placed in the cavity. In short time a soft granulated growth finds it way from the patients jaw into the holes in the tooth. This growth gradually hardens and holds the tooth in position. It is stated that 1t does not matter whether the cavity in which the tooth is to be placed is one from which a natural tooth has been drawn recently, or whether it has been healed for some years.

Chicago is swelling up over show ing of the progress made by it's schools in the past sixty years-a showing, one Chicago paper says, of greater interest than anything celebrated in Queen Vic toria's jubilee In 1887, when the city was incorporated, five teachers taught and whipped 400 children. Now 4,914 teachers are instructing, but not whip ping. 225, ,718 children. In 1857 the school expenditure was S3,226, or $8 per pupil. In the last school year $6,611 ,492 was disbursed, almost $30 per pupil. It is uncertain whether the amount of in- struction given has increased in pro- portion to the cost of it. Much of the added cost, of course, is represented by the expense of maintenance of the more elaborate school buildings. A large part of the increase in the number of school children has come in recent years, the increase between 1892 and 1897 having been over 50 per cent.

The Pension office at Washington is
 to have the largest palm ever grown
 under artificial conditions. There are now two mammoth palms in the Botan- ical Gardens. These growths of the South have been placed in the hothouse at the Gardens having the highest roof. but so high have they grown that it has become necessary constantly to trim them at the top. They have at- tained a height of forty feet, with a trunk about foot in diameter. Their beauty has been largely destroyed by the necessity of constant trimming.
