Per CAPITA a Circulation.


For many years past, beginning with
the times of the Greenback party. we
have heard much said regarding the
circulation of money and the per capita
of population. 1t is true that we had
in the North, at the close Of the war,
money circulation Of about $50 per cap
ita, not including the 7-30 U. s. bonds,
which were legal tender and with
which many of the soldiers received
their pay towards the close of the war.
Now our per capita circulation of mon.
ey, outside of the treasury, is not over
$1S Every one who is old enough re-
members how very fourishing the
times were from 1865 to 1873. 1t is
true that the dollar was cheaper than
gold, but no person was idle; there were
no tramps, money was plenty, and
property was rapidly accumulated.
New enterprises were started which
required much money to cary them ON.
Instead, however, Of there beipg neW
issues of money as there ought to nave
been to meet the expansion of business,
the currency, in obedience to the COM
mands Of Wall street, was contracted,
and with the demonstration of silver
in 1873 came the panic of that year,
from the evil effects of which there
was no recovery until 1870. when the
purchase of silver under the Bland
Allison act began to expand the volume
of money and give new life to business.
To the addition to our currency of the
five hundred millions dollars of silver
purchased since 1878 is principally due
the fact that we, as a nation, have pros
pered as much us we have during the
last eighteen years.

WHEN THE CENTURY BEGINS
1t Was Fruitful Topic of Discussion

1t Was Fruitful Topic of Discussion
One Hundred Years Ago.
An immense amount of discussion is
current as to the exact time when the
present century ends, and the next one
begins. Some very clever arguments
have been advanced on various phases
of the subject. The reader who fol-
lows UP all of these will be rewarded
with vast amount of curious informa-
ton. With the great deal that is specu-
lative and purely theoretical, some
most curious and bewildering PROPOSE
tons are brought to the front. A good
deal of this is new 10 the person who
has not reflected over the matter be-
fore. All that is being gone over, how.
ever. is old. thrashed material. AS the
end Of each century approaches the
old. old question is mooted, people get
thinking and naturally the same ideas
that presented to their great grand
grandparents appeal to them with the
first blush of something original.
A century since, ms the year 1900 ap-
preached, the prints then current were
filled with good deal of discussion as
to whether 1900 or 1901 signalized the
beginning OF new century. One of
the most entertaining and interesting
papers on this subject is comprised in
letter written by Gen. Philip Schuy-
Ter of historic fame. Feb IL, 1910. 1t
is addressed to his eldest daughter,
Mrs. Angelica Church, and was in
dited to set at rest in her mind the
battling pros and cons concerning the
century-ending ideas. AT that time
men of sound sense, and of such can
dor as to be incapable of subterfuge
which cavilling about words affords,
held antagonistic views as stubbornly
rs though millions We're involved.
Gen. Schuyler promised everything
on the fact that the birth Of Christ, be-
ginning at the first minute of the first
day of January, computation COM
mences with cipher O. Some theor-
lists placed / at the birth of Christ. in
stead of at the end of the year from
his birth, rejecting. he claimed, one en-
tire year out of the series composing
the Christian err. Here is his quaint,
practical proposition to illustrate:

A stirring account of a picturesque
street accident in Buffalo, n. Y, is fur
nished by the Courier of that city.
AS trolley car ran at high speed
down the hill from High street and
dashed past North street it struck Miss
Nellie Cahill, who had attempted to
cross the track in front of it on hi.
cycle. The bicycle ran on the fender
and struck the front of the car with
terrific force.
Miss Cahill fell from her wheel and
landed on the fender. Her bicycle was
by her side for distance of forty or
fifty feet, when its rear wheel was
caught by some obs "ction on the
pavement and the W was tumbled
off and thrown to one side of the car.
Miss Cahill clutched the iron frame of
the fender and bravely kept her posi-
ton. The skirt of her dress, which fell
over the side of the fender, caught on
distractions, and several times, as
pieces of the garment were torn away,
the strength of the young woman was
tested severely. but she held on.
The car. with Miss Cahill on the fen.
der. ran distance equal TO an ordinary
half block, when it stopped. Miss Ca.
hill didn't wait TO be lifted from her
seat. She wasn't hurt. and her bicycle
was only slightly damaged

lives than the smoke-laden fog of Lon

lives than the smoke-laden fog of Lon
DON"
The average weekly rate of mortality
during the prevalence of fogs is increas-
ed nearly twofold, Mr. Thwaite de-
clares. and the deaths traceable to dis
eases of the respiratory organs are more
than doubled. In persons of advanced
age this rate is increased to- an alarm
ing degree. A few years ago fort
nights heavy fog in London brought
the death rate to 40 per 1000. rate
equal to the great cholera year. Not
only does an ordinary London fog
sweep away each day the population of
an English village, but its effect upon
the moral stamina of the people is de-
clared to be appalling. In fact, Mr..
Thwaite charges fogs with being the
cause of most of the crimes and misery
of the city. He contends that the in
crease in the cases of drunkenness dur
ing foggy days substantiates this state
ment.
The almost daily fog that hangs over
London weighs, according to scientific
investigators, 300 tons, composed of
fifty tons of carbon and $50 tons of hy-
drocarbon. The value of these COM
modities is estimated at f2,OOO,OOO.
The solution of the problem that Mr..
Thwaite suggests is to supply London
with gas generated in the coal fields of
South Wales, South Yorkshire and STAFF
fordshire. London consumes 10000. 900
tons of coal n year. In Transporting
this there is probably loss of 10000
tons, equal 10 f45,OOO. The cost of
transportation by rail is estimated Mt
f2,7S0,0O0, and by sea f1,566,OOO. The
profits of various merchants, middle
men and carriers and the loss in nitro
genOus and other constituents of the
coal bring London's annual coal bill I'D
to f9,50O,00O. All this, Mr.. Thwaite ar
CUES, would be saved by the erection of
gas-generating plants in the coal dis
tricts and the carrying of gas by pipes
to London. Cheap coal gas could then
be supplied to every householder of the
metroDOliS.

Suppose. he says, a surveyor was d.

Suppose. he says, n surveyor was d.
rected to begin at the city hall, New
York, to measure on a due north
course 1900 miles, and at the end of a
mile to set up a stone to indicate how
far that stone was from the city hall,
what mark would he place upon it?
Surely he would mark 1t with the num-
Der l. If he should proceed one mile
farther, and set up another stone, this
he would mark with the number 2. and
proceeding thus, when he had run
1900 times eighty chains he would set
up stone and mark it 1900, and. turn
ing his face TO the south he would
say: 81 am now 1900 miles from the
city hall of New York"
But il he had pat the stone numbered
ut the city hair, then the stone to be
placed at one mile, from the said cor
ner would have been marked 2, and
the stone marked 1880 only 1,799 miles
from New Yorb. But placing the stone
marked Mt thu said corner would sure.
ly mislead th~ traveller in determine.
ton of how far he was from New York
for seeing 2 marked on the stone he
would conclude that he had still two
miles to traverse to be Mt the New York
city hall.

The old-age pension act of New Zea-
land is the outgrowth of the agitation
by the Progressive party which con.
trolls the lower house of the New Zea-
land Legislature. The Measure was
twice defeated, and after desperate
struggle was carried in 1898. AS final
ly shaped, this statute provides that
any New Zealander, whether male or
female, who has reached the age of 65,
II he or she has lived at least twenty
five years in the colony, shall be enti-
TED to Sl.I3 a week. or about 500 a
year. Only those, however, whose an
nual income from any source Is less
than $1I0 are entitled to the full pen
sion. For every So of excess over the
amount of income specified SIS is to be
deducted from the pension. Should,
therefore, the private income exceed
$lIO by $50 year, no state pension is
payable. Then, again, if one be pos
sessed of accumulated property, the
net value of which is $1,000. he or
she ceases to be entitled to any allow
ance from the pension fund. Where a
husband and wife are living together
their united income must amount to
$500, or their united property to $4,000,
before they are disentitled to any al
lowance from the pension fund. They
may have between them an income of
$40, or as much as $3,25O in accumu-
lated property, and yet be entitled to
draw their respective pensions in full.
There are moral as well as pecuniary
qualifications for pension. The act,
for example, draws the line against
persons who, within twenty-five years
of applying for a pension, have been
five years in prison for some serious
crime, or within twelve years of appli-
cation have been convicted of one or
more lighter but trlfling offenses. A
husband or Il wife is disqualified If
either has been guilty of DISSECTION for
six months. In general, the applicant
must be able to show that he is of good
moral character and, for five years pre-
ceding the date of application, has been
leading IL sober and reputable life. Even
after n pension is allowed, it is for
feited If the pensioner is guilty of a
crime bringing upon him sentence of
twelve months imprisonment, or if he
becomes an habitual drunkard. More
over, If a pensioner is-guilty of any Of
Tense punishable by Imprisonment for
not less than one month, the court may
deprive him of one or more install
ments of his pension, or, at its discre-
ton, may order the installment to b.
paid to some reputable person for his
benefit. 1t may be added that the old
age pension proposition is being con-
siderably agitated throughout Europe,
and especially of late in England.
