neu xe,l. and Its Observatory.

h the current number of Knowledge Mr. Bruce gives an account of Ben Nevis and Its Observatory The ob- jeet of this observatory is to study the height of clouds, their speed, direction and constitution, and to learn as much as possible regarding temperature, winds. etc. It is 8 true scientific in- stinct that leads us to sound. as it were, upward, just as we sound down ward and explore at the bottom of the sea. The reasons why Ben Nevis, or all places, was most suitable were: CD Because it was the highest mountain in the British isles, rising to 4,406 feet. @ it's summit was in close horizontal proximity to a sea-leyel station at Fort William; (3) it was situated in the track of the southewest storms. which influence so greatly the weather of Europe, especially ia autumn and win- tor.

Evolution of the Cranberry.

The cranberry Is a product of ths country's development. coming for ward in the last fifty years from a small, hard, bitter berry to a hand somely shaped and good-sized fruit. As the quality has improved the ber- ries have increased in popularity with consumers, until supplies are hardly sufficient to satisfy normal demands. Rhode Island was the first state to ap- ply scientific methods to cultivation, and the system adopted there has ex- tended to other states, notably Massa- chusetts, New Jersey and Wisconsin.

SUNDAY ADVERTISEMENTS LEGAL.

The civil district court of New Orleans decided recently that Sun day being dies non, judicial adver- tisemetts published on that day are illegal The supreme court of Louisiana has reversed this finding. Justice Blanchard, who writes the opinion, says:
 Whether or not d Sunday adver tisement of a judicial sale is legally sufficient. must be determined by the codal and statutory provisions of the law of Louisiana.
 "As to immovable property, the only requirement is that the adyel : tisement must appear once a week for the full term of thirty days. The law does not say thirty judicial days. If it did, then Sundays and legal holidays would have to be ex- cluded. Where the law has made no exception, it is not the province of the court to supply one.
 ''Tbe law is fulfilled wheo the ad vertisement appears once week during the publication period. Sun day is day Of the week-the first day of the week. It's appearance then, on Sunday is an appe araoce during the week, of which Sunday is the first day. "-Newspaper.

officers elected by us 10 see it en- forced until repealed.
 The children ard young men of this city are being corrupted. ruir- ed, by the negligence and sometimes conniYance of the officers who swore when taking charge of their offices to enforce them. They were elected by the people. believing they were worthy and good men, and when they placed thelr hands on Gods word ard solemnly swore to see these laws faithfully executed, that they meant to do that thlng. Some of them were high in authority in their respective religious organiza tions, and we had a right 10 expect they would do what they professed. It is not for them to decide whether the law is right or wrong, judicious, profitable or unproftable, but to see it enforced. We denand Of them the enforcement of these laws, else resign and make way for Vorthier men.
 After whole year of gross neg leet of duty, a recent order has been issued for these gentlemen of the "green" to move up stairs, or else they would have the law enforced against them. But tbe way these gentlemen wink aod ehuekle, they know thtng or two.
 We repeat, these officers were not put ia positions as law makers, but to enforce laws already made, and as gentlemen they ought to dis. charge the duties entrusted 10 them Or get from under and let worthier and brave" men take their places.

THE #G4MBLING MANIA.

A great deal of complaint has been made against the negligence of the city council, or the officers ap- poin by them, some of it very justly no doubt, others quite trivi al; some, perhaps, just because some one wants to write and can think of no eastec subject. While we are not disposed to complain just because it has become fashion. nor tt trivial dereliction, there are some things that need, nay, denand condemna- ton.
 In all enlightened, civilized coun- tries gambling is regarded as nor al, social and political evil, and as such is condemned and iegisIated against. It is denounced as such by the government of the United States, by the state of Arkansas, by the municipal authority of Pine Bluff. Now, if this is a mistake. let us go to work aud repeal the Stat utes against It; if not, they ought to be rigidly enforced. For one, we are ready to face the question of the right or wrong of the law, and if convicted of error to act like man. But if the act is right. or right or wrong, it is the sworn duty of the

LEO SENDS THANKS
TO THE PRESIDENT
Pope Pleas ed With American
Governments Spirit of
Liberty.

LONDON. Oct. 1.-Archbishop Ire
land, who has arrived here from Rome
on his way to the United States, in an
interview to-day is quoted as saying:
In one of the audiences which he
granted me. the Pope said: We are
we'll pleased with the relations Of the
American Government to the church In
Cuba and the Philippines. The Atnerf-
can Government gives proof Of good
will and exhibits a spirit Of justice and
respect for the liberty and rights OF the
church. You will thank in my name
the President of the Republic for what
Is being done
when 1 repeated to Cardinal RAM
polla (the Papal Secretary Of State) my
interview with the Pope, the Cardinal
declared such statements were what he
personally believed and knew to be
true, and that was at liberty to re-
peat them to the American people.
Furthermore, Cardinal Rampolla said
that on no less than three different oc-
casions petitions had been sent to the
Vatican, in the name Of the Filipino
leaders, asking that direct. official rela-
lions be opened between them and thu
Vatican, but the Vatican had always
refused to listen to such petitions out
of consideration for the American Gov

NEW YORK CHARTER
MAY BE CHANGED
Radical Reforms May be Pro.
posed by a Leg slati,e
Committed.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2-ShouId the
charter Of New York city be amended
In line with the views Of revision COM
mittee appointed by Governor Roose-
welt. there will be radical change in
the local government OF Greater New
York
The commission will meet today to
discuss and pass upon the work of the
several subcommittee. 1t Is said on
good authority that the members Of the
commission. with two exceptions. are
a unit upon all questions, and that the
radical changes suggested by the sub
Roosevelt before December I, with the
approval of the commission. the mi
nority agreeing to sign the report.
The main proposal Is to give each
borough local self-government in the
management Of street cleaning. police,
fire. water supply. parks. highways and
street lighting. Involved in this Is the
suggestion that the heads OF these de-
partments shall be appointed by the
presidents of the several boroughs. thus
giving local home rule I'm a broad sense
to the voters OF each subdivision of the
city. Under this arrangement the tax
payers would be able to hold their loca
officials. and not the mayor, RESPONSE.
bic. but the change would also have
far reaching effect in political issues.
There Is a unanimity on the PROPOSE
ton to abolish the municipal assembly
and TO have no more councilmen. There
is TO be a board OF aldermen composed
Of two men for each assembly district
in greater New York. or In all 120 alder
men.
The revision commission will bring II
n plan to sub-divide the assembly dis
tricts in the election of aldermen, anC
so bring the men to be chosen as neal
TO the people as possible. The revision
committee thinks that a man represent
ing about 5000 voters will be reasonably
responsive to public sentiment in nearl,
all districts of the city. The aldermen
will be elected every two years, anC
the question of salary Is not yet set
tied. They will have a large measure
Of legislative power.
IL Is estimated that the need of loo
officeholders will be Topped off, ant
nearly s2,O00.000 a year will be saved Il
salaries should all the proposed amend
ments 10 the charter prevail. The plal
for borough home rule and the creation
Of 120 aldermen are the really radica
changes proposed.
