An Atlantic cable has, fortunate
ly, few animal enemies, though in
the English channel, the Irish sea
and the North sea the teredo, the
special cable pest of the Mediterra-
mean, does some mischief. This
miserable little mollusk, " as the
cable men call it, first made itself a
reputation by eating upwooden ship
hulks until builders took to plating
them with iron, and by burrowing
into the dikes in Holland until the
whole country was threatened with
inundation, When the cable came,
it took to it at once. 1t wriggles its
way in between the steel wires of
the most tightly wrapped core and
eats away jute and gutta percha un-
til there is nothing but a wire skele-
ton left. Happily, however, as al
ready indicated, our own particular
cable has little to fear from the te-
redo, and the best wish we can give
it as it lies at the bottom of the At
lantic is II 1t it may never have a
history, and that the time may be
long before the Faraday sees it
again. Henry Muir in MoClure'e
Magazine.

We have spoken of permitting.
The subject of permutat ions is an
interesting one. In how many ways
do you suppose, for example, it is
possible for the u clubs of the Ma
tional Baseball league to wind up
at the close Of the season2 Let us
see.
Call the clubs by the letters A, B,
c, D, etc. The first letter, A, can,
of course, have but one arrange
ment; but, taking in B. we find that
we now have two arrangements pos
sible, ABB and BA-that is, twice as
many as one letter Now bring in
the third letter, c. With ALB we
can arrange G in three ways-CAB,
ACB and ABC-and with BA we
can arrange c in three more ways,
making ways in all-that is, 3 let
ters may be arranged il three times
as many ways as letters. Similar
ly we shall find that 4 letters may
be arranged in times as many ways
as letters.
BY proceeding in this way, we
find that the IL clubs may be ar
ranged in as many ways as times
times 3 times 4, and so on up to
and including the whole number of
clubs. If you will multiply the first
II numbers together, you will find
that the product is 479, 001, 800, which
number represents the number of
possibilities of the case. If it were
undertaken to print all the possible
guesses at the relative standing of
the clubs at the conclusion of sea-
son therefore, and we allow two
square inches for each guess, the pa
per required would cover 152 acres
of ground. Philadelphia Times.

YOUNG MATHEMATlcIANs.


Some Queer Figuring For Their Amuse-
ment and Instruction.
In what month and on what day
Of the month were you borni Write
down the number of the month and
to the right of it the number of the
day. Multiply by 2, add s, multiply
by 80, add your age, subtract 1856
and then add 115. The result will
be the number of the month and
the day of your birth as well as
your age. Thus.
Suppose you were is on March z.
March is the third month, so you
write down 8 and to the right of it
z. Now multiply by 2, add 5, null
tiply by so, add your age, IS; sub
tract 1856, add 115, and you have 8, 716
that is, you.were born in the third
month on the seventh day, and your
age is 16 Try the process with any
persons age, and you will get SIM
liar result.
If you take any number consist
ing of three consecutive digits, like
234, and permute them, making six
numbers, then add these up, divide
by and tell me the quotient, will
tell you the number thought of. In
this case the quotient always con-
sists of three equal numbers. The
number thought of viii consist of
one of these equal numbers and of
the next lower and the next higher
number. Thus:

GAGE ON THE PRESS LAWS.

y REPORT from Los Angeles states that Gov
| I ernor Gage having been asked whether there
is any truth in the rumor that he is to enter
upon the publication OF newspaper, replied with an
emphatic denial and added: do you think l would
have signed those anti-catoon and signature bills if
had had any thoughts of descending to the news
paper level? Another thing: my administration
needs organ to bolster it up. 1t will speak for
itself"
Truly the administration is speaking for itself and
none mistake the meaning OF the speech the
caber OF the man whose mind it represents By his
words the Governor makes it known that had
he any intention to engage in journalism he would
not have signed the cartoon and signature bills Now
the question comes: Why would he have not signed
them?
Clearly the Governor recognizes that the object OF
the acts was the injury OF the press the purpose
OF their authors was to nfict harm upon newspaper
men; and the Governor is of the opinion that when
in operation the two laws will have such effects. So
if he journalist had stock and interest in a
newspaper he would have vetoed the bills Why,
then, did he sign them7
The only meaning OF the Governors words is that
what he would have refused to sanction, had it af-
ected his business he is willing nict upon others
He signed the bills for the purpose OF njurng jour
nalists He is willing do that injustice, knowing it
to be unjust and to strike that blow at the freedom
OF the press knowing the blow to be unfair and foul.
The mental caliber OF the shown by the
act OF approving the bills and the moral caliber by the
confession that he would not have signed them had
they affected his interests. Such a confession of
petty spite was never before made by American
politician and is doubtful if such motives ever
before prompted Governor in the performance OF
his official duties
Dogberry OF old made special request that he
should be written down an Governor Gage makes
no such request OF journalism His administration
speaks for itself

AN aPPLE-GRoWERs' COMBINATION

I JAIL street is not the only place in America
lAI where the combination and consolidation OF in
dustrial interests is being carried The spirit
oi cooperation IS infused throughout the whole
OF the American people, and the progressive element
is in all parts OF the Union forming trying form
with more CT less sasacity certain organizations
which Will enable the producers in any line OF in
dustry TO obtain the full market value OF their
products.
The irlit-erowers OF the country are no exception

societies OF considerable strength and now they are
reaching out for the upbuildng' OF organizations on
an immense scale. Several OF these exceed the limit
of the States in which they had their origin and in
cude in their scope large sections OF the Union,
that they fairly presage the coming OF time when
there Will be something like national cooperative
associations acting with oroe in every field and every
market,
One OF the largest OF these associations is that OF
the prune- growers, which is now being built up
this State and IS intended to include all the growers
OF prunes on the Pacific Coast An even larger asso-
ciation however. has just been formed in Illinois
under the name OF the Mississippi Valley Applegrow

number OF apple growers within it is sufficient to form

It is noted by expert authorities on the subject
that the growth OF orchard interests in this country
and the increasing exports OF American apples te

concerted effort in the directions indicated by the
new association
The increasing consumption OF fruit food rather
than luxury IS OF the notable features OF the
recent development OF civilized life The rate OF that
increase would be augmented II the marketing OF the
fruit crops could be made more effectively and more
cheaply than present There are some parts OF the
country which glutted with fruit during the

THE INCOMING WAVE.

Customs Surveyor Spear in com
munication to Collector Jackson recltes
that the growth of San Francisco
commerce during the past year has
been so large that an additional force
of twenty inspectors is required for his
division Of the service. This simple
statement of fact is pregnant with
meaning. For many years san iran
cisco has slept by the Golden Gate,
while the commerce of the Pacific, once
ali her own, has drifted by But at last
she is awake. New conditions nave
been evolved by the passing years, ana
the wave of prosperity, so often read
and talked about here in California, IS
at last in sight. San Francisco is once
more on the upgrade, and the condl-
tions which so favorably affect the
commercial metropolis of the State viii
exert a similarly benefcent influence
throughout all of Central California.
Especially will this be true Of the
counties contiguous to the bay, chief
of which is Santa Clara County. This
theme may have been worn somewhat
Of late, but it Will bear even more at
tention than ha been given il. 1t is q
live. up-to-date topic. It interests
everybody in this favored section Of the
State. for 1t speaks of an end 10 the
long period of stand-still and do moth
ing and the beginning Of a period Of
business activity, material progress and
general prosperity. And the sooner we
realize the fact that the turn in the
tide has actually come, that there is
nothing fictitious about it, and that
there is a substantial foundation upon
which to build our confidence and cal
culations. the better able we shall be
to take advantage of these changed
conditions, and the richer viii be the
