Mr.. BROWNS AFFLIcTIoN. q

Ex-senator Browns misfortune enti-
ties him to the sympathy of all who
have known him as an active, vigilant,
aggressive member of the legal profess
sion The loss of any of the five senses
is bad enough, but it is particularly
dreadful to think of having all the
beauties of the world, the work of man,
the life of books. the light of day, all
shut out forever from ones inspection.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Brown
will recover his sight after treatment
in spite of the fact that this is the
second attack Of blindness from which
he has suffered within two years.
His energy and pluck at the trial
which he concluded without being able
to tell whether it was night or day are
characteristic of the man. In court he
is a fighter of the bulldog order, and
one finger after the other might be taken
off without compelling him TO relin-
quish his hold upon the opposition. His
professional associates and all who
know him will regret his afliction and
wish for his early recovery.

is an ever-s eething caldron of molten
rock
OF existing volcanoes over 500 are
named and listed as of Importance, but
If the catalogue is to include openings
of smaller, though of considerable ex-
tent and cratsrs of moderate activity
many thousands would be comprised.
The large volcanoes occur in groups or
along lines near the ocean, the distri-
button suggesting some connection be-
tween the proximity of oceanic waters
The occurrence in groups and lines may
indicate possible connection between
the members OF such series and an
interior reservoir or fissure.
Common and violent as are volcanic
outbursts, it appears TO be certain that
the vulcanism of the earth is waning.
and that for the greatest exhibitions of
volcanic power we must look to former
geological ages. All crater eruptions
may be regarded as incident to dimin-
ishlng energy, for the great lava ejec-
tons of the past probably issued from
immense assures extending perhaps
through many miles. Only from such
assures can we conceive of outpour-
lngs like those that have produced the
lava flow of the northwestern part of
our own country, covering 10000
square miles with depth in places of
1000 feet, or the Deccan lava field of
India, which embraces an area of 200, coo
square miles with an observed depth
of 5000 feet.
Many theories have been devised to
explain the source of the heat and the
development of the force necessary to
produce volcanic eruptions. but the dis
cusSlon of such would exceed the linn
us set Tor the present paper.

sioners on the list. Ten years after
shat war was over 2S2,1s7 pensioners
We're enjoying the bounty of the gov
eminent. Twenty years after the wal
the number was 4O6OQ7. Last year it
had reached 9sS.714 invalids, widows
and orphans to whom the munificent
sum of s145.74S,S65.56, practically one
half of the income of the government,
is annually paid.
On the payrolls of this republic are
more Names drawing money for mill
tary services rendered thirty odd years
ago than occupy the muster rolls Of
Great Britain and Germany combined
The yearly expense of the combined
army and navy of the German empire
Is less than the United States expends
annually upon an army that is no lon
ger in service, that has not performed
military duties for more than a quar-
ter of century.
Whatever may be said of the ingrat-
itude of republics in general no one
can look upon these figures and ques-
tion the gratitude and generosity of
this one. No deserving applicant is re-
fused hearing; no claim is rejected
except TO be reviewed by congress; the
laws are interpreted in the veterans
favor and the evidence construed to
suit his case.
But there is an army of pension at
torneys in che United States, who make
a specially of these claims and cases.
It is estimated that there are over 90
eco of them some of whom derive fat
incomes from the practice They take
advantage of the generosity of the ma
ton and the patriotism of the people
They urge many claims that are fraud
uient. They are trying to increase a
list that was believed to have reached
its maximum several years ago. They
are incensed at the pension commits
sioner. because, upon investigation, he
has turned down a number of these
applications. They have united in the
effort to get Mr.. Evans removed and
have sought to use the Grand Army or
ganization to this end. 1t is gratifying
to learn of their failure. 1t is to the
honor of the veterans that they be-
lieve the pension roll should be a roll
of honor. 1t is to the credit of Pension
Commissioner Evans that he has been
able to withstand the siege of the pen
sion attorneys and has had the cour-
age to reject claims he regarded as
impositions upon the generosity of the
republic
