A Puzzler.

Persons who take an interest in
puzzles aud find delight in exer-
cising their brains in the work OF
guessing conundrums or solving a
rebus will find a pleasant employ
mont, and perhaps profitable one,
at this time in studying out the
sugar schedule OF the tariff bill as
revised by the Senate, comparing it
with schedules on the same subject
in the Dingley bill and the existing
law aud determining which OF the
three gives the greater protection to
the sugar industry. The question
is sorely puzzling all the experts Of
the country, and while many claim
to have solved it no two OF them
agree in the solution.
The New York Tribue figures it
out that while the Wilson tariff
gives the benefit to the sugar re-
fners Of 365.l000 of cent per
pound at present prices the Dingley
bill gives difference of an eighth,
with some further incidental bene-
fit, and the Senate bill gives an adj
vantage of half cent The New
York Times estimates that the cost
OF 100 pounds imported refined
sugar ia now 325 cents higher on
account of the duty, while under the
Dingley bill, it says, the difference
would be q cents, aud under the
Aldrich bill Ga cents.
Henry d. Woolie is quoted by the
Examiner as estimating that under
the Wilson bill the refuer receives q
benefit Of S2a cents per 100 pounds,
and that under the bill reported by
the Senate he will receive S9a cents
The expert Of the New York Press,
GU the other hand, seems to have
reached the conclusion that the
sugar-growers will receive no benefit
at all from the Senate bill, for he
says, "The ad valorem duty will
swamp them with sugars, not of
Hawaii alone, but. OF the eighteen
countries which grow the sugar Of
the world"
Robert p. Porter, who has had
some experience in making tariffs,
admits that the sugar schedule as
reported by the Senate committee is
mystery to him, but he adds that
we have the word Of such eminent
statesmen as Senators Allison and
Aldrich that the proposed sugar
schedule does not favor the refining
interests any more than tho Dingley
bill. The opinion of Allison and
Aldrich are certaily entitled to have
great weight with the public, since
they are recognized as the ablest
tariff experts now in public life.
1t is reported that Ex-Governor
Warmoth Of Louisiana, who is one
OF the greatest sugar. producers in
the world, recently declared: "The
sugar schedule is so badly mixed, so
complicated, that to my simple
farmer mind it is all riddle. In
order to understand just what it
means, l intend to employ an ex-
pert on tariff questions, especially
as they relate to sugar, and see
whether he can unravel the tangle."
1t is to be hoped the Ex-Governor
will make public the report of his
expert. We have had so many ex-
pert opinions on this subject that
one more is all that is needed to
turn the picnic into circus. When
the bill is taken up in the Senate for
debate Senators Allison and Aldrich
will explain it. Until then it re-.
mains pleasant subject for discus
sion among people who delight in
puzzles.-S. r. Call.

SURGICAL oper.t,on ON . r,sh.

A huge blaokflsh was recently caught at
the fishing banks, near New York, and
taken to the Metropolitan.aquarium When
be was taken of the hook, It was noticed
that the fish seemed nearly dead. He
tapped his tail very fecbly for big fellow,
and by the time he arrived at the aquarium
1t seemed that he would die before morn
ing. DR.. Bean had the fish placed in one
of the observation tanks at once and soon
found that the trouble was caused by a
clogging up Of the intestines with mass
of crushed shells. The fish had gorged
himself on crustacea, and the shells had
formed in a hard and big conglomeration.
1t was evident that his death was ques
ton OF only few hours, and 1t was de-
cidcd to adopt heroic measures. The fish
was taken out Of the tank and his head
covered with wet seawecd to enable him to
breathe. He was too feeble TO flop around,
so in very few minutes DR.. Bean had
completed what probably was the first
operation of lararotomy ever performed on
n fish. The impeding mass of shells was
removed, and the fish, after careful cleans.
ing and attention to the wound, was re-.
placed in the observation tank. He was
much improved In n few hours and is now
well.
