The new MYSTERY.
Wise Men Call II "X' But II Is
Natures A. B. c.
NATURE HELPS ALL WHO WILL
LEARN HER LESSONS

The scientific world is wild over the mys-
FERROUS new light which penetrates and
photographs the inside of the human body.
This wonderful light is produced in a glass
tube like an electric light. 1t is composed
Of beautiful violet colored ray which being
unknown are called TX rays" Wise men
are asking what are they? What will
they do? What will they not do?" Edison
believes they will kill the germs of disease.
At Columbia college for one hour the pro-
fessors were even asking: "Wil these won
droUs Y rays restore life?"
Yet all this mystery is only the A, B, c
Of nature. For countless ages the little
FREELY has been carrying about with him a
light which the nineteenth century scient-
lists cannot duplicate. The climbing morn
ing glory picks out the sun rays which will
feed its life and beauty more accurately
than could be done by the learned chemists
Of a hundred universities. A summer
storm throws away enough electricity to
light a dozen states. In a common lump of
coal nature packed away heat, light, oil,
medicine and dyestuffs before man was Gre
ated, which he is Just beginning to discover.

Popuiism u nd the Monkey.

The state central committee of the
populist party has met and resolved that
there shall be no more fusion in this
state, which has caused the Seattle Re-
view to repeat the following popular fable
which is extremely applicable to the
case:
a Certain Monkey Occupied one OF the
Highest and Stoutest Limbs of the Great
est Oak Tree in the Forest; and he was
so Strong and Popular that all the Other
Monkeys gave up trying to sit on That
Limb. He Stuck to that Tree 80 Faith
fully, and Watched the Limb so Closely,
that all the Monkeys with one Accord
said, What Faithful and Talented Mon
key He is /! until this Monkey began to
Feel His Oats, and Winding His Tail
Around the Limb, he Swung Himself
About, first Toward the Free Silver Chin
panzee on the Crabspple Tree, and then
toward the Democratic Balloon on the
Pessimmon Tree, Enchanting. They Seem
to Think the Tree Supports Me, but it is
Me that holds up the Tree, And the
Democratic Baboon and the Free Silver
Chfmpanzee replied OF Course He
Does! What Talented and Independ.
ent Monkey He is II he should Let Go
His Tail Hold that Oak Tree would Tum-
BILE Down. Then said this Monkey:
Why should waste my Strength and
Talents Holding Up this Old TreeP I'll
Let Go my Tail Hold and it may Fall, if
it cannot Stand by its Own Strength.
Then he Let TO his Tail Hold and the
Democratic Baboon and the Free Silver
Chimpanzee saw Something Lying on

1t is well-known paradox tina. a
country cannot be prosperous without a
certain amount of national debt. This
may he disputed, but it is certain
that hardly civilized nation is to be
found to-day without the burden OF
national debt. The Handles. Zeitung,
New York, compiled some interesting
statistics on the subject, from which the
Literary Digest quotes the following:
The total national debt of the world
is now $4,000, 000, 600, while in 1875 it
was $23, $50, 900, 0O0. France has the dis
tinc,ion of leading the world in this re
gard with a debt of 5000, 000, 900, fol
lowed by Great Britain with $3,300,000,-
600. The third on the list is Austria
Hungary with 5000, 600 900, while Rus
STA is fourth with $2,S75, 200, 900 and Italy
fifth with $3.50, 100000 Spain comes
next, with 81 ,395 900 900, and the United
States is seventh with 1896, al So
Germany has debt of only $500 900 900
'Spain owes comparatively the largest
sum to foreigners, while in France the
great bulk OF the papers are in possession
of the Frenchmen themselves. But
nearly every other nation is indebted for
enormous amounts to its OVID subjects
France takes the lead as lending people
on account of the good financial standing
and the saving propensites of its people.
The example of France seems to confirm
the proposition that national debt is a
good thing for the prosperity of a people,
for in that country the national debt and
the general prosperity of the populace
have steadily advanced in recent decades
IN equal proportions.
"The growth of national debt can be
seen from the following table, In which
the figures for twenty years ago are given
in the first column and those for to-day
in the second column:
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1897-06-10

Rather remarkable il the increase of
debt in Australasia, especially over
against the repeated statement of Great
Britain that it's loyal colonies enjoy a
higher degree of prosperity than do those
that have become independent. Japan
and the Argentine Republic belong to the
states that have in recent years been con
tracing debts on large scale, the former
now having $235 900 600 and the latter
1870 200, 900. Borrowers on somew hat
smaller scale are Belgium, with debt OF
S445 ,000, 900 and Holland with $46O, 000,-
900, Canada with $3.50 100000, an in
crease of 100000 900 since 1875. The
total debt of Great Britain, including the
colonies, is $5,4S5 900 600 almost equal to
the debt of France.
cone reason for the enormous increase
OF national debts is probably the fact that
money is now much cheaper than it was
twenty years ago. At present the total
sum of interest to be paid on national
debt is sl,!l5 ,000, 600, while twenty years
ago it was 81 900 100000, although the
total debt at that time was 1000, 600, 600
less than 1t is at present. In 1875 Spain
and Mexico paid as high as ID and Is per
cent interest. Although the national
debt Of France is so enormous, yet it pays
comparatively the smallest amount OF
interest money, namely $lS5,0OO,O 600,
while Great Britain pays annually $l25.-
900, 600; Russia, $l20,000,0O0; Italy
$li7,00O,00O; Spain, $50, 900 900; Austria.
Hungary rs much as 1886, 900 900. The
latter country, accordingly, pays more
interest than France, although the French
debt is twice as large as that of the
Austrian empire. II is interesting to note
that each inhabitant of France must, on
the average, pay each year s475 interest
on the national debit each Russian,
$l.20; each Englishmsn, 1915; each
Austrian, $3.50; each Italian, 80 80; each
Spaniard, So 25; each American, AZ cents !;
and each German, 80 cents.
