do you think is really the cause of the hard
times we are having?"
II believe, replied the comptroller Of the
currency, that the present condition Of the
United States Is due to unwise financial legis-
lation and the agitation of monetary questions,
a money standard which is not recognized by
any other great commercial people with which
we have to deal The threat of substituting
the silver for the gold standard has through
out the past few years frightened both home
and foreign investors, so that capital is per-
mitted to remain idle, with the effect of clos
ing up factories and mills and putting an end
to great undertakings. The uncertainty wheth-
the government would be able because of
the Sherman law. to redeem it's demand obli-
cations in gold was the one thing which
brought to a climax a great many other
things which Ill and of themselves would
not necessarily have produced the depression
we have had. Undoubtedly there have been
contributing causes in the DISQUALIFICATION
Of corporations, the unwise speculations of the
past few years. the extravaganza in public
and private expenditures and the living by
their incomes. These things and the agita-
ton Of foreign and domestic questions gave
rise to doubt in the minds of many as to
our financial stability. Still, with all this
we have had but few failures and it seems to
me that this is an evidence of the great re-
sources Of our country and the energy of our
people. If we can now be free from agita-
ton, if our people will settle down individu-
ally to their individual business and not
undertake to attend to the business affairs
of every else, the financial future of the
country will at once improve and we will

and one which will be known as such and as

In a small volume abound in the prin-
cipal libraries of the country, recently
issued and dedicated to Senator Cush-
man K. Davis, many of the intricacieS
of nature are referred to and explained.
This small book, entitled 1.-THE Mis-
souri, River" contained in its first edi-
ton a short reference to the elements
of nature, preponderating in.Twhich is
the declaration that 1T is very simple
proposition to ask what constitutes a
river, and a correct answer Is as easily
formulated; but the question HOW was
the river formed? goes deeper into in
osculated sciences than the present
generation has been able to fathom
Barely four centuries have elapsed
since 1t was believed that the ships of
Columbus would sail over the edge OF
the ocean to certain destruction, and
yet, even in Minnesota, near where
these lines are written, we have rock
in place over which. the waters have
passed for more than 100000 years
upwards OF 50o,e00 centuries! and-zlife
has existed foroa much greater period
of time.

modification, undoubtedly descends In
intensity tos@461 degrees Fahrenheit.
Throughout all space (which is nothing,
and therefore has no limit, and Is in
conceivably endless) a normal con-
gealing influence, exists, which is neces-
Sary, near our planet, in connection
with diverse influences, to cause rain

sion, and condensation, and thence to
precipitation, and the constant repeti-
ton of these natural phenomena sus-
tains animate existence. When these
forces shall have gradually exhausted
the power to shower their sustaining
influence upon the surface Of the earth,
all life Will as gradually disappear, and
a future age Will descend upon this
planet with an intense severity. The
time will come -when researches into
the past may demonstrate some prob
ability Of the course of natural events

ages.
Scientific descriptions Of the causes
which formed the sun, earth and plan
cts are all problematic. The most
acute and philosophical minds have
been and must continue to be-, utterly
incompetent to correctly determine the
time and manner, when and how
great natural law concentrated the; ele-
ments into the visible and wonderful
combination of solids and vapoFs and
fluids, metals and matter, magma and
material. which has been forcibly
thrown together in the formation now
constituting the earth as planet.
There are, however, some considera-
tons, which may be drawn upon to
somewhat strengthen probabilities, in
the study of sun-spots, the depth of the
atmosphere, the law of gravity, the
existence of an unknown electrical
quantity, and the cyclonic tendency

There is only one way to cure Deaf

famed condition Of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inf1amed, you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result. and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear

cases out of ten are caused by ca

the space of perfect vacuum, as in
