No End OF Perquisites.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Those who
have friends or relatives in this war
will find consolation in an enumera-
tion of the many perquisites to which
the disabled fighter will fall heir after
the smoke Of battle has cleared away
-balms which Uncle Sam will cheer
fully apply to wounds incurred in his
brave defence.
Indeed, the wounded fighter need
never fear starvation or privation in
old age. If able to work he will be
practically sure Of snug Government
position for life. If disabled to the
extent Of helplessness, he will be
housed, fed and clothed. In either
case he will draw a comfortable pen
sion in addition. Unless the grim
angel of death seek him when he is in
some strange place where his identity
is unknown he viii never be buried in
potter's field. He will be insured a
decent burial. He need not entertain
dread visions of starving wife, starv-
ing children, starving brothers and
sisters or dependent and starving pa
rents. Lost limbs will be replaced by
new ones, fashioned as skillfully as
artifice car make them.
Z: some quarters there prevails the
mistaken impression that the young
veteran Of The Spanish American war
will not profit by the same civil SER
vice Determinations which were es-
'tablished by law ia favor Of the vete-
ran Of the civil war. Your corress
pondent has talked the matter over
With Chief Examiner ServeE, Sfe I'll the
civil service commission. who assured
him that every partiality shown by
the commission for the. old veteran
would hold good for the new.
"Section 1,0s4, Of the Revised
Statutes said he, provides thet
persons honorably discharged FROM che
military or naval service by reason Of
disability resulting from wounds or
sickness incurred in the line Of duty
shall be preferred for appointments to
oiy;! Offices, provided they are found
to- possess the business capacity nee
essary for the proper discharge Of their
duties. Thus, you see, the law is
general in that it applies to *the mill
tary or naval service, no particular
war being mentioned. No new legis-
lation will be needed to allow the new
warsveteran to profit by those discrim
nations. That this is so will be all
the more appreciated when I toll you
that men in the regular army and ma

side him 10 the ranks, but who was
rot so-shall we say fortunate? PAS to
receive little Spanish lead in his
person. Il is mistaken notion that
all those who are honorably discharged,
whether disabled or not, are entitled
to preference.
There are many ways by which the
disabled veteran will profit. In the
first place he need not worry about
age limitations. He will be released
from them all. Applicants covered by
the ordinary rule cannot become clerks
until 20 years Of age-but he will be
eligible If only boy. While others
will be required to make an average of
at least 20 per cent. on civil service
examinations to enter even the lowest
place ON the eligible list, with no
hope of appointment, he will have ex-
cellent chances Of obtaining position
with an average Of only Us per cent.
Having made this low mark, he will
be placed upon the eligible list above
and will be certified for appointment
before all others not allowed similar
preference-even though they may
make as high as 100 per cent. Furth-
ermore. he will be released from all
laws relating to apportionment, and it
will matter not whether he be from a
State whose quota for civil Offices is
already full and overfowing. If, how
ever, on the same register the names
of other preference claimants appear,
the one of that category having the
highest average will, of course, head
the list.
1t is also an erroneous idea that q
special law will have to be passed to
pension the new veterans of the Span

is already at work upon cases growing
out of this struggle. He who leaves

to the other perquisites allowed by the
Government. The same will be given
for the loss of both eyes. The loss of
both feet will be worth $72 month.
One hand and one foot together will
be worth $36, the same as given for
amputation at or above the elbow or

worth $50, the same as given for total

A Curious Experiment.

Sparrows stung by carpenter bees
have been seen to die quickly from
stoppage of respiration in COM
plete paralysis. NJ. LANCER
has killed rabbits and dogs by
inoculating them with bee poison,
which contains small quantity of
formic acid and toxic alkaloid that
resists heat and cold as well as the
action of acids. Following on this
line of investigation NJ. Phisalix, the
French authority on the venoms of
insects and reptiles, has established
beyond doubt that the poison of the
hornet in sufficient quantity renders
one immune to that of the viper. The
poison extracted from the stings of
fifteen hornets injected into the leg of
guinea pig caused a marked lower
ing of temperature, which lasted
thirty-six hours.
The redness and swelling produced
at the point of incubation finally
reached the abdomen and ended in
modification of the skin. In SINH
lar experiment, where the same dose
of poison was heated to eighty degrees
for twenty minutes, there was no gen.
eral injury and the local action was
confined to n slight temporary swell
ing. Likewise the incubation of
glycerinated maceration of hornets
caused only slight local troubles.
But the organisms of the animals that
received this poison became able to
resist subsequent incubation with

The depth of the sea presents an
interesting problem. If the Atlantic
were lowered 1854 feet the distance
from shore to shore would be half as
great, or 1900 miles. If lowered a
little more than three miles, say 49,

The rapidity of thought is limited,
and voluntary action of the muscles is
slow in comparison with the involun-
tary movements of which they are
capable. The researches of Messrs.
Broca and Richet show that ten sepa-
rate impressions is the average high
est limit of brain perception. The
experiments prove that each excita-
tion of the nerves is followed by a
brief period of inertia, and during
this period no new or appreciable i'm
preston can be made. An individual s
voluntary movements of any kind can
not exceed ten or twelve per second,
although to the muscles, acting inde-
pendently of the will, as many as
thirty or forty per second may be pos
sible.

Case and Comment observes: "The
responsibility of the legal profession
for the prevalence of perjury is very
great. There are some lawyers who
create evidence to aid their own cases.
These constitute the most dangerous
class of professional criminals, and we
may hope it is very small. But there
are many who will wink at and
silently encourage perjury when it is
on their side. Yet these men would
scorn to receive stolen goods. They
quietly swallow the camel, but would
be insulted if you offered them the
gnat. This is because moral sentiment
is more clearly defined with respect
to receiving stolen goods than with
respect to profiting from perjury"

The movement to establish textile

An Astonishing Comparison.

The world was recently thrilled with tho
news that Great Britain had appropriated
almost S120, 900 900 for her naval expenses
for the coming year. The sum, when
compared with our own expenditures,
seems enormous, but, according to the
figures of DR.. Dawson Burns, recently pub
lished in the London Times, the drink bill
OF the United Kingdom is more than G.s
times that great appropriation, or $751;

the Illinois, which when finished will be
the most powerful vessel of our navy,
will cost almost "a 900, ,O0O but the British

Professor Henry G. Adams observes

there would be no railway problem.
The railway industry is an extensive
and not an intensive industry Abil-
ity to perform unit of service cheap
ly depends more upon the quantity of
business transacted than upon atten-
ton to minute details. The expenses
incident to the operations of railway
do not increase in proportion to the
increase in the volume of traffic This
does not pertain to the business of the
manufacturer, the merchant or the
farmer, but is peculiar to the business
of transportation. 1t is adequate to
explain why all advanced peoples have

little to settle the question should
