The lavish appropriations, by the present
republican congress, should challenge the
attention of all thoughtful men. Subsidy
bills and all unnecessary taxes are con-
demned by our platform. The accumula-
ton of surplus revenues is too often the
pretext for Wasteful appropriations of the
public money. The millions of surplus now
accommodating in the treasury should re-
main in the pockets of the people. To this
end the democratic party demands re-
duction of war taxes to the actual needs
of the government, and return to the
policy of strict economy in all govern
mental expenditures.

TO TALK OVER. OCEAN
A Simple Device Tor the cable N. =.
vented Which VIII Permit
Use Of Telephone.

At last q way has been found to tel
ephone across the Atlantic ocean.
That old scientific bugbear, the satura-
ton OF the cable covering with con-
tlctlng currents, which prevent the
voice. being heard over long distances,
has been overcome, and nothing ex-
cept the laying of properly con-
structed cable now prevents our hav-
Ing direct speech with Europe. The
discovery is announced by Prof NJ. 1.
Pupin, of Columbia college, and even
if Prof. Pupin's reputation did not
vouch for the authen ticity of his
claims the enthusiastic manner. of
their acceptance by scientific men
generally proves that a most impor-
tant discovery has been made.
Aside from the spectacular element
of telephoning across the ocean, the
discovery is Of such value to land tel
ephone and telegraph lines that not
only will it be possible hereafter to
talk directly between New York and
San francisco, but the cost of doing
so can be reduced to what is now de-
manded for less than half that dis
tance.
Prof. Pupin's invention consists of
nothing more than series of SIM
pie coils of wire to be inserted at in
tervals of eight to a mile under the
sheath of the cable.
This device, which is known as a
choke coil, has the effect of limiting
the capacity of wire to hold electric
1ty' and thus the speed is increased.
Prof. Pupin says that his invention
will increase the speed of an ocean
cable 300 times.

CHECK TO GUN RECOIL.
Army Officers Greatly Interested in

Army officers are greatly interested
in the invention of a Cleveland (O.)
man. His invention has the effect of
minimizing the recoil Of great guns,
and the recent tests are said to have
sustained all that the inventor has
claimed for his device. The experts
are not certain that the checking of
the recoil may be termed anything
which would revolutionize warfare,
which is claimed for every ordnance
invention, but it is an important
feature, which will be of much prac-
tical value. Gen. Miles and his aid,
Col. Michler, and Capt. Lewis, the
recorder of the board of ordnance and
fortification, visited Cleveland and
witnessed the firing of a gun equipped
with the recoil checker Their report

The popularity of Americans in

United States has conquered US, and
now no nation is nearer our hearts

hastened by the generous Lafayette.
The word alliance has even been
spoken in France, Russia and America.
Why not? The old nations will be
obliged to reckon more and more with

PROSPECTING FOR POTASH IN ARIZONA

rewal in the ordinary course of rota-
ton. 1t must be supplied, if at all,
from large mineral deposits.
This would be a simple matter IL
these deposits were large and numer-
Gus. Inasmuch as potash is found in
almost every part of the world it
would seem probable that such large
deposits would be of frequent occur
renee. But. as Mr.. Atkinson points
out, exactly the reverse is the case.
In discussing the matter before the
Association for the Advancement OF
Science he called attention to the fact
that the worlds entire supply is at
present being drawn from the mines
of Strassfurt, Germany. and that,
while other fields equally great may
possibly exist. they have not been un-
covered up to the present time.
Practically every bit Of the potash
used in the United States is imported
and the volume of these imports is
increasing rapidly. as the constant
working of the soil makes the use of
fertilizers more and more necessary.
At the present time these imports
amount to more than S2.0OO,0O0 year
ly, although the proportion Of our soil
recurring artificial stimulus is rela-
lively very small. Potash is not now
expensive. even with the necessity Of
bringing it across the Atlantic. The

unalluring.
In the multiplicity of these theories
1t would seem that the possibilities had
been exhausted. but every now and
then a new deduction is brought for
ward to startle the world 1t has re-
mained for Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the
scientist, eSSayiSt and political agita-
tor. to develop the newest and most
surprising theory as to the nature Of
the embarraSSments which will force
themselves upon the worlds inhaDit-
ants as the centuries roll around. Mr..
Atkinson believes with Sir William
Crookes and some other eminent sci
entific spectators that the great diff
Guilty. when it arises, will come i'll The
form of hungcr-the exhaustion OF the
worlds food supply. But he does not
believe this will be reached through
ovcr-pOpulation or the taking up OF
all the arabic land. Mr.. Atkinson S
suggestion, which is uiluc ut least, is
that the world famine is likely to come
in the form of potash famine
through the using up of the potash in
the soil. and the consequent failure
of the land to produce food crops.
1t is safe to say that most persons
never have taken potash into consid.
Grafton as one of the food essentials
of the planet. 1t is Il fact, however,

Light and Love.

1t has been said that eight enough to
see what should he done is more common
than love to do what we know" which
is. in a measure, true. But it has been
also said with good deal Of reason,
that ignorance does more damage than
dishonesty. ''rhe pure hydrogen Of
picty may draw, from an ordinary utmo-
sphere. support for flame Of high inten-
sity; but only when penetrated by the
oxygen of sound intelligence is its
power perfected and irresistible" The
wisdom of the serpent may and should
be joined with the harmlessness of the
dove. Loving God with all the mind
must emphasized as well as loving him
with all the heart. Culture has ten
dency to condcnse emotion into q prin-
ciplc, and to check bOiSterous manifesto
tions. Other things being equal, he who
reads and thinks gets on the fastest.
Error is close akin to sin and often full
as dangerous. No one can have q per-
feet Christian character who is full OF
confused ideas and false notions as to
duty. No one can accomplish a great
deal for the world who does not direct
his activity on right lines, adjusting HIM
self properly to the forces which sur
round him and the laws which control
him.

void of life, farms barren Of vegeta-
ton, houses and cities deserted and
race of beings growing steadily
weaker and weaker, and, even in the
intermediate stages Of the change.
entirely different from those who now
inhabit the earth.
1t is rpassuring to note that the con-
census of opinion among scientists is
that this extreme condition never will
be realized. There is one great prin-
ciple generally accepted as holding
good for all the operations of nature,
which scientists bring up in opposi-
ton to those who predict final cat
aclysm of the world in any form
whate:er. That is the principle of the
indcstructiblity of matter. At din
her Of scientists held in Washington
at which the predictions of Sir Will
lam Crookes and Mr.. Atkinson formed
the leading topic OF discussion, this
principle was advanced as the chief
argument against their conclusions.
The scientists were confident in the
belief that the potash taken in thou
sand forms from the earth would in
some form return to the earth. and
that in some way the conversion of
potash from varied sources into shape
by which it could feed the soil, would
come about when necessity demanded
it.
There is no doubt. however, that the
discovery Of an addition to the worlds
supply of potash is il matter Of real
Importance, and it is likely that the
sensation caused by the statements Of
Mr.. Atkinson will lead to vigorous
search for deposits in this country.
If such deposits of any considerable
extent are in existence in any part of
the country they undoubtedly will be
uncovered before the German field is
worked out.
Meanwhile. Strassfurt, in SaXony,
enjoys monopoly of the potash in
dustry The business is trust in
the fullest acceptance OF the term, for
| the various mines all are controlled
by an organization known as the Kali
Syndicate, and the output is regulated
absolutely. Under the terms Of rigid
agreement each manufacturer Is al.
lowed to put on the market only a
certain fixed amount of the mineral
each year In this way the produc-
ton is kept down and the prices are
kept up.
