Gi.d.tone's Elosuenos.

His persuasive witchery Of eloquenoe
will be poorly understood by generations
to come, says The Atlantic. 1t is not
found in the word. the phrase, the argu-
ment or the thought It came for the
most part from the spirit that warmed
the breath Of the man. sounded in his
voice, looked out of his eyes. It was
personal to him, and largely part Of the
moral qualities that seemed to be his
greater distinction. No man Of his day
has had such power Of persuasion as he.
1t may not be too bold to say that no
man Of any time has surpassed him in
that power. Yet he was never logically
strong. HIS argumentative writings. the
most carefully and deliberately com
posed, show defects of reasoning that
are marked. From controversy with an
si;;its:so:::s.. Ike Professor Huxley he was
sure to come with wounds Yet his
masterful influence over minds Of every
class is a certain fact. 1t was once said
by somebody that "Gladstone could per-
suade anybody to anything-himself
included, and the epigram carries NO
doubt significant truth

In the latter part of the mesozoio age
there was a great inland ocean. spread
ing over large part of the present con-
tinent. The lands then above water
were covered with a fora peculiar to
the times and were inhabited by some
of the animals which later distinguish
cd the cenozoio age. In the seas were
reptiles fishes and turtles Of gigantic
proportions, armed for off.9se or de-
Tense. There were also oysterlike BIZ
valves, with enormous shells. three or
four feet in diameter, the meat Of which
would have fed many people.
In time this great ocean, swarming
with vigorous life, disappeared Noun
tain ranges and plains gradually arose,
casting forth the waters and leaving tho
monsters to die and bleach in tertiary
suns AS the waters remaining divided
into smaller tracts they gradually lost
their saline stability. The stronger mon
sters gorged on the weaker tribes until
they, too, stranded ON rising sand bars
or lost vitality and persisted as tho wa
ters freshened. In imagination we can
picture the strongest, bereft Of their
food supply at last and laundering in
the shallow pools until all remaining
mircd or starved. 1t would be interest
ing to know how much of the great
eretaceous ocean forms part II any Of
the vast oceans Of today.-Popular

bonded debt of the State, except the
loans of 1896, or exchanged for exist
ing bonds. The remainder of the
loan is to provide $500, OOOfor the com
pletiOn of the penitentiary, $4,000
for a new building at the House of
Correction, 100000 for an additional
building at Springfield Hospital for
the Insane, and 100000 for the
purchase of a site and the erection of
an armory building for the Fifth
Regiment.
This will consolidate the State debt
into three loans, as follows: The con
sOlidated 3 per cent. loan of 1899,
$5,8OO,O 600; the 81 per cent. peniten-
tiary loan of 1896, 100000; the 81 per
cent. insane asylum loan of 1896, $780,
600 total, 81, 400, GEO.
The amount of taxation levied for
the payment of the interest on the
entire State debt of Sc, 400, 900 and the
sinking fund is 81 cents on the 800.
This should produce 100000. The
interest will be about $2O5, 600 leaving
about 100000 to 90 to the sinking
fund.
Against the bonded debt the State
owns an annuity of 100000, secured
by mortgage on the Northern Central
railway; $3.50, 900 of stock in the Wash
ington Branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio, which at this time is unpro-
ductive, and the half million dollars
of Baltimore city stock in the sinking
funds.
