The experience of the French troops
in the Sahara has shown that dark
colored horses bear great atmospheric
heat much better than do those of a
light color. A writer in Nature re-
marks that the same fact has been
demonstrated in India, and adds that
tropical animals generally have darker
pat than are found upon those liv-
ing in cold climates. Similarly the
dsrkest-hued races of mankind inhabit
the warmer countries.

The mystery of the "wabbling' of
the earth's axis may be explained in
the opinion of DIR. j. Hahn. Il German
astronomer, by assuming that the ro-
tation of u planet is affected by
changes in the magnetic influences OF
the sun. He publishes a comparison
of observations on sun-spots and on
the irregular motions of the north pole.
which appears to show a coincidence
between the W. phenomena. During
a maximum of sunspots the magnetic
Influence OF the sun seems to be great
est, and after the passage of such a
maximum the disturbance of the
earth's axis diminishes. The fact
that the earth's poles OF magnetism do
not correspond in location with its
geographical poles may, Doctor Hahn
suggests, indicate how the suns dis
turbing action is applied. When the
magnetism of our globe is mos pow
erfully excited then the strain along
its magnetic axis may cause a distor-
ton of the figure OF the earth. which
becomes less as the strain diminishes.

Puerto Rico" or Porto Rico?" Let
us hope that uniformity will a last
prevail. 1t is not the first case of a
vexatious variation and puzzle to those
who wish to spell it correctly. 1t took
years to get rid of "Dacotah" and to
establish the spelling Dakota" The
situation with respect to our new is
land possession is that the board of
geographic names. which is supposed
to determine such matters, has decided
strongly for Puerto Rico. The Presi-
dent, it is understood, accepted the
authority of the board and adopted
its spelling. But congress has enact
ed a form of government for Porto
Rico" which thus becomes the legal
name of the territory.

A newspaper is an educator; there
are all kinds of educators, but the man
who spends money judiciously and
literally is better able to impart his
knowledge than the man who has lit
tie or nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type of a
newspaper.
The Suns reports from all parts of
the United States are unsurpassed.
The Suns Cable Service is the finest
known; the troubles in the Philippines
and in South Africa demand compe-
tent correspondents and vast expend-
iture of money and labor in getting
the news. Whe You get The Sun you
get news and intelligent presentation
of facts with it, as well as carefully
prepared articles of editorial writer's of
highest standing. When you read a
daily paper, whose principal recon-
mendation is its cheapnsss, you get
the dregs-g generally very poor dregs
at that.

INDIANA.

w. E. Curtis, the Chicago Record
staff correspondent, says the chances in
Indiana favor the Democrats. Curtis
is Republican, and has free swing to
write as he likes OH his paper. Lie
sometimes conducts a controversy with
his editor through the Records col
umns. He says the reasons given
by dis1nterested people who have NO
cause to bolster up either party why
the State will probably go Democratic
are:
''The gold Democrats who supported
Mckinley four years ago will vote for
Bryan this time, with the exception OF
a few bankers and very rich men, and
the quakers will vote agaist Mckinley
because they do not like the shooting
of the Filipinos and the military invas-
ion of China. There is said to be con-
siderable discomfort among the coal
miners, and also among the labor
unions IN the gas district. I have seen
two or three people of both parties who
have recently been in Indiana, and all
agree that the chances of success there
are in favor of the Democrats. %
Indiana and New York usually vote
alike Presidential years, and for many
reasons the arguments changing the
electoral vote in Indiana might do the
same service in the State of New York.

The English people are repenting
slowly for their South African war o.
conquest. It is said now in London
that if Lord Salisbury had striven as
earnestly to avoid the South African
war as he is now trying to find way
out of the Chinese war the country
would have been better off by 10000
lives and $500, 100000. President Nc
Kinley is in the same fix. If he had
shown the same consideration for the
Filipinos, who had been our allies, as
he has done for the Chinese or the Gu
bans, nothing is surer than we would
not have had a Philippine war on our
hands. There would have been no
need of 10000 troops in the Philippines
for an indefinite period, and we would
not have had to count waste Of $500,
100000 and morn the loss of FIVE thous-
and American soldiers in needless
and cruel war, undertaken and carried
on IN defiance OF American principles,

UDGENORwOoD ON PATRIOTISM

Judge Thomas NJ. Norwood, of Say
annah, has published a satire, IN verse,
which bears the title of Patriotism,
Democracy or Empire. 1t is addressed
to William Mckinley as King of the
Philippines etc.. and Scribe to Mark
Hanna and ProconsuI under Marcus
Antonius, First Emperor of the Uni
ted States etc.
Judge Norwood has occupied the
highest political offices in the gift
of the people of Georgia, and his
contributions to American Iitera-
ture, especially his ''PIutooracy'
have given him place with the
most intellectual men on the con-
t1nent. Anything, therefore, that
bears his name will naturally attract
attention and arouse the interest of the
reading people. At this particular
time, when the Democratic party is
making vigorous campaign against
Imperialism as ''the paramount issue,
Judge Norwood's book can but be val
liable as campaign document.
1t is not our purpose to give at this
time an elaborate review of this unique
and original production, but only to
call attention to the latest production
of the talented Judge.
The first part of the work treats OF
our government and the intention OF
the trainers of our constitution-the
glory and beauty of our republican in
situations, The story of liberal con-
struction of the republican party and
their departure from time-honored
principles is graphically told IL
smooth, easy verse. The money power
and the millionaires, who are frequent
ly called by name, are favorite targets
for the authors scathing sarcasm
whilst those of our American womer
who have given their lives and theil
patrimonies for European titles are OBJ
iects of merclless rld1cu1e and pitilesI
contempt.
The dangers which are now threat
