UPsrART SERVANTS.
(New York World.)

The World published yesterday the
first authentic account of President Nc
Kinley's views upon the status of
Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam and the
Philippines. The doctrine which ali
good Americans" must accept is in
brief
COUNTRIES HAVE NO RIGHTS EX-
CEPT THOSE THAT CONGRESS
MAY SEE FIT TO GIVE THEM.
THAT IN PROVIDING FOR THEM
CONGRESS NEED NOT BE GUIDED
BY THE CONSTITUTION, BUT MAY
DO WHATEVER 1T LIKES.
Here is another of the many signs
that Mr. Mckinley and his friends
have privately revised the constitution
of the United States. For in the docu-
ment put in force by the authority of
the people there is this sentence (article
10 of the amendment):
THE POWERS NOT DELEGATED
TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE
CONSTITUTION, NOR PROHIBITED
BY TT TO THE STATES, ARE RE-
SERVED IN THE STATES RESPEC-
TIVELY OR TO THE PEOPLE.
The sovereign people through their
Constitution created all the offices of
the federal government and fixed the
powers and functions of each. The
sovereign people, and they only, can
add to those powers and functions.
And If they wish so to do, they will do
it in the appointed way-by constitu-
tional amendment.
1t is not strange that a great and
good man, conscious of his peculiar fit
ness, should decide that he ought to be
allowed to do whatever he wishes with
out consulting the people and by merely
getting a partisan majority, controlled
by patronage, to register his DEGREES.
1t is not strange that a partisan ma
jority should feel that it's wisdom and
virtue are so great that it would be a
degradation to be merely the servant
of the people instead of ruling them.
Such phenomena are common in his
tory. But what will the master, the
people, say as to its upstart arrogance?

AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR BOERs.
washington Post.)

1t seems hardly wise on the part of
the administration or those pretending
to speak for it to pooh-pooh the vari-
Gus expressions of American sympathy
for the Beers as mere ebulitions of the
Irish American" and "German-Ameri-
can elements, and therefore unworthy
of serious consideration. In the first
place, this sympathy is not confined to
the classes mentioned. In the second
place, even if it were so confined, the
fact would not entitle it to the contempt
Of the administration The truth is
that very large majority of the Ameri-
can people, including those of pure
Anglo-Saxon descent, side with the
Beers in this struggle and devotely
hope that they will preserve their
liberties at last.
We do not need go to Ireland or Ger
many for our Boer sympathies. We de-
rive them from the facts of history and
the assurances of British public men.
The administration will not strengthen
itself by belittling honest men because
of their honest opinions. 1t may easily
come to grief, however, by to great a
display of its own preference for what
most Of our people regard as wicked
and ignoble cause.

valid excuse has been offered or can be.
The bill had its origin in the nefarious
designs of few politicians of Canton
and is supported by small coterie of
gentlemen who hope to profit by its en-
actment.

1t was taxation without representa-
tion that aroused our fathers to warfare
and revolution. To impose tax upon
the Puerto Ricans without giving them
representation cannot be justified by
any principle Of the constitution or any
principle upon which the fathers foun-
ded our republic.

"The tales of the complete destruc-
tlon of the great Muir glacier in
Alaska are absolutely without foun-
dation," said A. o. Hewitt who has
returned to Minneapolis from the Ter
ritory.
"There can be no doubt that an
earthquake or an upheaval of some
sort did visit the glacier, for huge ice
bergs have been torn from it and are
now banked up in the sound about it.,
making navigation impossible within
four or five miles of the deposit. The
glacier was distinctly visible through
our glasses, and it appears to be fully
as large as ever, with the main portion
intact This is the fourth trip have
made to the Muir, and were there any
great change in its magnitude or shape
l would notice it at once.
"From an artistic standpoint the
shaking up has improved the glacier.
Heretofore the ice itself has invaria-
bly, been hidden beneath the snOwlike
deposit, but now the mass stands out
like an enormous diamond, rejecting
every shade of the seas and heavens
from It's brilliant sides. 1t will re-
qulre more than an earthquake to in.
terfere with the domestic economy Of
the great Muir glacier" - New York

spanIards I'm Florida.

Florida was originally settled by the
Spaniards, and i'm the same way that
the Old Swedes' Church In Delaware
recalls its pioneer settlers and French
names in Wisconsin recall the French
settlement of that State, st. Angus
tine, Tampa. Fernandlna and other
Spanish geographical names recall
the fact that the Peninsula State was
under Spanish rule for a great number
of years. But there are not many
SpanIards in Florida The last census
returned the number of such as $50
only, a very small total when ono con.
slders the proximity of Florida to the
former Spanish possessions in the
West Indies. There are, of course, a
great many Cubans in Florida, par
ticularly I'm and about Key West, but
their presence there was in no wise
due to the Spanish traditions Of Flor
ida; on the contrary, many, IL not
most, of the Key West Cubans went
there as refugees from Spanish mis-
government in their own country.

A Dangerous Spot ON the OCEAN.


Belle Isle Strait is by far the most
treacherous part of the North Atlantic
route. The coast of Labrador pro-
jects into the ocean like barrier
against the tlinging tides; and when
the baffled current finds resistance
suddenly removed, when the narrow
straits open between Newfoundland
and Labrador, the waters toss in with
the siding motion that creates the
beam sea so hateful to all landsmen.
The strength of the inburstlng cur.
rent simply cannot be calculated or
counteracted by any mariner. In
width the straits vary from nine to
FORTY miles; and when the brownish
fog never absent from the northern
horizon spreads Southward, obscuring
every landmark, it is impossible for
any captain to keep up speed and re-
tain his bearings. He may refer TO
his chart as often as he pleases and
tell himself, "Thus and thus have we
come, and here is the place we are"
Tide and fog may have betrayed him
In spite Of his calculations, and he
may be at least hundred miles out
of his course.

DEADLY SNAKES.
Various Signs by which Their Character
May Be Recognized.

May Be Recognized.
To distinguish between venomous
md harmless snakes is easy in prac.
tice but it is difficult to explain in
words alone, as there is no one exter.
nal characteristic which distinguishes
them. 1t is rather a peculiar varying
union of many separate marks that
brands the dangerous reptile.
Generally speaking, all snakes may
be divided into two great classes
those which have the head covered
with numerous small scales and those
which have it covered with large, reg
ularly fitted plates. Leaving out the
elipidae and the poisonous sea Of
snakes, with which the hunter will
have nothing to do, all snakes with
small head scales move about by
night and those with large plates on
the head by day. This may be known
by their eyes, for the first have vertical
pupils like the cats, while those of
the latter are generally circular in
form. The long, active day snake
gliding about from bush to bush, or
hurriedly taking refuge beneath some
protruding rock or tree stump,is harm.

This is the characteristic cOloring Of
our most dangerous snakes, the rattler,
the copperhead and the moccasin.
The following points embrace all the
peculiarities of our American vipers,
and the last two are especially note
worthy as the crownlng proofs of
venom:

rarely ascending trees or bushes. (2)

How Brain workers shoula Eat.

1t iJ all right for the man who labors
all day in the open air to eat freely;
but the man of sedentary habits, the
brain worker, must adapt his way or
living to his needs. He must be well
nourished, for the brain is incapable
Of good work unless supplied with
pure blood, but such a man cannot
possibly furnish vital force to digest
three meals daily. If he tries it nature
will protest at every step. The chem
ical changes of digestion will be i'm
perfectly performed. The stomach will
neither secrete freely nor churn the
food with cheerful alacrity; the py-
loric orifce contracts and allows such
chyme to pass with grudglng reluct-
ance; the intestinal lacteals are
ashamed to absorb such miserable
pabulum, which chokes, irritates and
congests them, so the large meal re.
mains in the digestive organs to fer
ment, putrefy and steep the individual
In foul gases and depraved secretions.
But the system can furnish enough
vital force to convert a small meal
into pabulum of high standard, which
will be absorbed without difficulty
Three such small meals are not
enough to keep the individual prop
erly nourished, however; four to six
will be required. Each should con-
slst Of but one or at most two articles
Of food, the diet to be varied by
changes at meals. The portion of food
served must be small; the patient must
stop as soon as the appetite f. salts
fed, and gaseous dlstention is proof
positive that the meals arc still too
large or too close together.-Sanitary

WHERE DOES THE SUNS HEAT COZ
Jan Energy Be Completely Dissipaied IN
This Universe?

Jan energy be Completely Diseipaled AN
This Universe?
According to the ordinary view the
sun is constantly radlatng heat in all
directions, and think 1t is gener,
ally supposed that only small por-
jon Of this heat encounters material
bodies ut any distance. however great.
i II so, the question arises, What be-
comes of the residue? Physical re-
search leads us to believe that heat
cannot be destroyed, but only trans
formed; yet many persons seem to
think that this heat vanishes like
ghost without transformation and
without producing any effect. This
may be so, but it is so much opposed
to physical analogies that we should
be slow to accept it unless on the ba-
sis of definite observations which,
think it win be admitted are not at
present forthcoming.
Nor can we cOnfine the question to
the sun. Ihe loss of radiant heat,
must Ton the theory which l am now
considering extend to all the stars.
A larger portion of the heat Of some
of them is no doubt intercepted by
other bodies, but some Of it must es-
cape-vanish. The whole universe is
losing heat: or at least It is losing
motion, for the supply of heat may be
temporarily kept up by the conversion
OF motion into heat (as, for example,
by a bombardment of meteorltes).
But that good part OF the radiant
heat vanishes, thus lessening the total
amount of force-of heat and its equiv
alents-in the universe, seems to be a
common opinion. This theory, how
ever (for Of course everything on the
subject is theory, will strike many of
your readers as unsatisfactory for
physical, not metaphysical or theolog-
zeal reasons. But If this heat be not
lost, what becomes Of It?
If the suns rays and those Of the
stars always met with some material
body, however great its distance
might be, the problem would be
solved; there would be no loss of hear
to the universe. The sun may at pres
ent be radiating more than It receives,
and, consequently, cooling; but iD
travelling through space it may reach
other regions in which these condi-
tions will be reversed. But it seems
plain that If this be the case, the
greater part Of the bodies which en-
counter the solar heat are dark bodies.
or else that there is an absorption of
light in passing through the ether.
Such an absorption of light and heat
by the ether-as maintained, believe,
by the great observer Struve-wouId
equally solve the problem; for the
light and heat thus absorbed could
not be lost. and would probably be
given back by the ether to material
bodies in some manner not yet traced
Otherwise, it would change the prop
critics of the ether.
A third possible alternative Is that
radiation, like gravitation, only acts
between material bodies, and that,
though, like gravtation, it acts on a
material body in any direction and fol.
lows it in all its movements, there is
no expenditure of force in the direc-
tions in which no material body is en-
cOuntered. On this theory also there
would be no loss of heat There
would only be an interchange Of the
same kind as If every heat ray ultii
mately encountered a material body.
