affect most Of the other well-known mark
ings on the moon. At the time of his eclipse
| observations Prof. Pickering carefully
| watched three or four remarkable localities
on the lunar surface. where craters yawn
or fiat plains lie extended. but not the
slightest alteration was observed in their
forms or appearance during the time that
Lime was expanding under the chilling
effect Of the earth's shadow and then
shrinking again as the untempered blaze of
the sun fell upon 1t.
There Is, however, at least one other To-
cality on the moon where curious changes
OF similar origin have been detected-the
ring-shaped plain called Plato This is also
in the northern lunar hemisphere about 500
miles from Lime. 1t is astonishingly regu-
| lar in outline. about sixty miles in diameter,
very fiat. and completely encircled with
lofty, steep and sharp-peaked mountains
as fine a valley for a nation of hermits to
| inhabit as could well be imagined. A few
thousand Boer ridemen stationed on the
kopjes of Plato could make 1t safe from in
vaston against the entire lunar world. In
| this singular mountan-ringed valley it has
been noticed that the rising sum- just peer
ing above the surrounding peaks. looks
down upon a vast whitish gray expanse
filling the whole Of the immense interior
But as the solar orb swings clear of the
mountain tops and the shadows Of the pin
nacles and ridges become shorter upon the
plain beneath the gray color first brightens
and then rapidly fades over all the surface
of the valley until at lunar noon Plato has
turned almost black. while at the same
time Its inclosing mountains of chalky
wilderness are ablaze with the sunshine.
These appearances, taken In connection
with the remarkable phenomena reported by
Prof. Pickering, indicate that there are GER
tain places on the moon where the contrast
between daylight and darkness or between
heat and cold manifests peculiar effects,
and in those places the search for further
discoveries should be pushed. Some day our
silent satellite may astonish US with reye-
| lations Of greater human interest than any
that far-away Mars ccn offer.

Longevity of Whales.
rom the Popular Science Mopthlv

Some light was thrown a few years ago
upon the subject Of the vitality of whales
by finding one Of these animals in Boring
sea In 1880 with ''toggle' harpoon head
In its body bearing the mark of the Amerf-
can whaler Montezuma. That vessel was
engaged in whaling in Boring sea about
ten years, but not later than 1854. She
was afterward sold to the government, and
was sunk in Charleston harbor during the
civil war to serve as an obstruction. Hence
1t Is estimated the whale must have car
ried the harpoon not less than thirty-six
years. In connection with this fact, WILL
lam H. Dali gives an account In the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine of discussion
with Capt. E. p. Herendeen of the United
States National Museum, of cases of whales
that have been supposed to have made
their way from Greenland waters to Ber-
ing strait. and to have been Identified by
the harpoons they carried. While It is
very likely that the whale really makes the
passage. an uncertainty must always be al
lowed, for ships were often changing own
ership and their tools were sold and put on
board Of other vessels. and harpoon irons
were sometimes given or traded to Esqui-
maus. It therefore becomes possible that
the animal was struck with . secondhand
Iron.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT ON l. ROAD.
Coal Chute Drops in Front of Train in
New York.

new tOfk.
Nine persons were injured yesterday MORN
ing in an accident to a 9th avenue ele-
waited railroad train near Rector street,
New York city. Five Of the nine are Sc
verely injured, and one of these, David A.
Finley, is at the Hudson Street Hospital
suffering from fracture of the skull. Four
of the injured are at Bellevue Hospital.
The others were sent to their homes
The train left South ferry for Harlem
and passed the Battery place station at
its usual speed. and was approaching the
ccaling station. The engineer did not
need coal for his engine, and so did not
signal to the man in charge of the coal
ing apparatus. In an explained fashion
although the coal man says that 1t was
through the vibration caused by the ap-
preaching train, the coal chute dropped
down almost at the moment the train
reached the station. The chute struck the
roof of the engine cab and tore 1t off, at
the same time throwing down Engineer
Barlow and Fireman Hutchings to the floor
of the cab
Barlow's hand was on the throttle at
the moment Of collision, and as he fell
his hand turned on the pressure still more
and the engine dashed ahead at full speed
up the tracks, stopping only when 1t had
reached Barclay street, because of the ex-
haustion OF the steam.
Meanwhile the chute had wrecked the
roofs of the two passenger cars and the
dozen passengers in the cars were thrown
in every direction.

Anson Phelps Stokes, a Gold Demo-
crat, widely known in financial circles,
declares against Mckinley and impe-
rialism. Mr.. Stokes is a banker, and
his wealth is estimated at $90,OOO,OOO.

DEAR S1R-Your letter of 3Oth ult.
has been forwarded to me here. con-
sent to the use of my name as an hon
orary member of the Greater New York
Association Of Anti-imperialist Clubs
Anti-imperialism is certainly the par
amount issue of this election. What
would the patriots of 1776 have
thought of the proposition that the cur
rency question is more important than
taxation without representation or gov
ernment without the consent of the
governed?

Those who truly appreciate our in
heritance Of liberty regulated by law
should unite in the most effective pro-
test against the attempt now made in
the interests of great corporations and
scheming politicians to disguise rapac-
ity by the use of fine phrases about our
high principles, our code Of morals for
bidding forcible annexation as criminal
aggression and promises Of independ-
ence, modified when we secure control
to mean benevolent assimilation or
such measures Of self government as
may be consistent with our duties and
interests or as we may think best for
the governed, who must also in case
we allow them form Of constitution
make it provide for such relations with
us as we may consider satisfactory,

If this nation wants a colonial

I go on the theory that u man or

American people can do what they

they must recognize that in doing 1T
they must assume responsibility for

''Raw material, if bought in large
quantities, is secured at lower COST" is
one OF the arguments urged in favor of
trusts. The point is certainly good
one. When, for instance, one man
buys all the wool, the price of wool
will be lowered and all who produce
wool will be forced to sell at the price
fixed by the trust, and the same will be
true Of every other kind of raw mate
rial. As q large proportion of our peo-
pie are engaged in producing raw ma.
terial, they are naturally very much
interested in trusts.
The following is an extract from a
letter received by Secretary Garfield:
''Roosevelt is doing a vast amount of
good for the Democrats by his ranting
in South and North Dakota. You re-
member what this rough rider said four
years ago: Even. if he (Bryan) is
elected we may not turn the reins of
government over to him. Remember
he was secretary Of the navy. No

The Income Tax.

l take this occasion to reassert my
belief in the principle which underlies
the income tax. Congress should have
authority to levy and collect an income
tax whenever necessary, and an
amendment to the federal constitution
specifically comforting such authority
ought to be supported by even those
who may think the tax unnecessary at
this time. In the hour of danger the
government can draft the citizen. It
ought to be able to draft the pocket
book as well. Unless money is more
precious than blood, we cannot afford
to give greater protection to the in

MRS. SUE KIDDER LEWIS DEAD,
Her Death Occurred Rather Suddenly
In Dresden. Germany, Last Sunday.
The News Reached Here by Cable
gram Yesterday.

A cablegram received lat yesterday
evening brought the sad news OF the
death of Mrs. Sue Kidder Lewis, who
died rather suddenly at Dresden, Ger
many, last Sunday. The cablesram
was received by Mr.. George w. Kid
der, brother of the deceased.
No particulars as to the a occur
rence are known save that Mrs. Lewis
had suffered an attack of pneumonia.
She vas thought, however, TO nave
been recovering very satisfactorily, her
death, therefore, as stated above, being
very unexpected.
The remains will be brought here for
interment, but il is not known as yet
when his will be done.
Mrs. Lewis was the daughter of the
late Edmund Kidder, OF this city, Il
is a sister of Mr.. George w. n Mr..
Frederick Kidder, She married the
late James /. Lewis, Of New London,
Conn.,, who died a number of years ago.
Mrs. Lewis leaves two children, a sol
and a daughter, who were with ner at
the time of her death. They have
spent much the greater portion of the
past several years abroad. They left
America on their last trip some time
last fall, having spent several months
in this city a while before they left.
The deceased has a host of friends
here who will hear with deep sorrow
of her sad death.
