The Country Editor.

One of the highest tributes ever
paid: if not the very highest, to most
deserving class of people, is that of
Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine. to the
country editor" In discussing the
subject of postage on newspapers the
Senator from Maine remarked of the
country editor:
''He is a packhorse Of every COM
munity, the promoter of every laud-
able enterprise, the worst underpaid
laborer in the vineyard. Counting his
space as capital he gives more to
charity, his means considered, than
any other member of society. He is a
power in politics, pillar of the church,
a leader in the crusade for better
morals. He is pre-eminently the

Getting Biograrh Pictures.

"Br-r-r-ring! Br-r-r-ringi Br-r-r-r-ringr'
A quick connection with the desk phone
of the City Manager, and in another mo-
ment it is known at biograph headquarters
that fierce fire and a series of explosions
block, and that the loss of life is estimated
at 800.
The camera operator and his assistants
receive word; there is a scamper for fire
badges, and two minutes later the bio
graph outfit, which takes 1000 pictures
minute, is handed into the emergency
wagon, which has been waiting all day
for just such a call.
The City Manager arrives on the scene
to arrange with Fire Chiefs and Police
Sergeants for u favorable position for the
picture taking apparatus. The camera is
set up on its tripod, the film-boxes at
tached the lens focused, and the operator
begins turning the crank. Three min
utes, five minutes-the shutter snaps and
every movement of the exciting scene is
faithfully recorded. The film, which may
be from 160 to 800 feet in length, is then
carried on to the biograph factory, where
it is developed in its entirety on reels that
carry it through developing solutions,
dried by power-fans, and positive is
printed from it by electric light. The
process takes from two to four hours.
That night the catastrophe of the af-
ternoon, projected on a screen, seems al
most as real TO the theater-goer as the
actual occurrence was to those who wit
messed it.-Everybody's Magazine.

A. cherTa. heia. as Yards Of Rain Have
Fallen in q Year

Fallen in Year.
Cherra Ia not a wet spot all the year
round. says the Pau Mall Gazette. Like
the rest Of Tie Indian Empire, it has its
durtheast monsoon 1.-THE wind from the in
terror Of Asis). the latter under the south
west monsoon (ths wind from the Indian
ocean,. During the four months, Novem-
Der to February, when the land brsezs
prevails, very little rain in experienced,
but with March cones a mark I'd increase
In the fall and it attains Its maximum
in June and July, when the southwest
monsoon 10 fully established, afterward
decreasing again. The average annual
fall 10 about 500 inches. to which the
four dry mouths contribute In all ave
inches and the two wettest months $50
inches.
The explanation lies in the situation Of
Cberra with regard to the rsin-bearing
winds. The Bay of Bengal Is a vast caul-
dron OF warm water perRetually throwing
of immense volumes of moisture. To the
northward the Soonderbuns and Jhils,
low-lying swamps covered by food waters
during the Midsummer months, supply as
much moisture az the bay. 1t is ovec
these immense areas Of aqueous vapsr
that the southwest monsoon sweeps, car
rying inland the precious liquid which 10
poured down on the country in such a Law
ish manner. Even at sea level or there
abouts the copiousness of tie rain may be
gathered from the fact that Il averages
about 100 inches annually, but Chsrra
gets five times as much as the plains,
while places on the little plain within
half mile of Cherra, but not SO sx-
posed, retarn from 10 inches to 100 inches
year less. When the southwest mop-
soon strikes the face Of the great ellis
of the Khasia hills II il already super
saturated with the moisture collected fur
Their south, and az it cannot continue on
its course at a low level, it Is forced to
ascend to the top Of the range, and 1t In
this sudden ascensional movement that
brings about the discharge of such stu
pendous torrents Of rain on the summit.
Now, as to the marvellous records at
Cherra. AS already stated, the average
annual precipitation there may be taken
as 500 inches, but In 1851 the total was
sol inches, In 1880 it was TOO inches,
while in 1881 it exceeded 905 inches, or
more than 20 yards. Back In 1871, Yuls
measured 264 inches for the month Of
August aiens, five consecutive days con-
tributing 100 inches to the total July,
1860, had 20S inches, and the same month
in 1861 no less than 1865 inches, or moro
than 80 feet. Hooker mentions 80 inches
in one day, and 500 inches during a stay
of seven months. Over as long a period
as i've days rain falls at Cherra at q
rate of an inch or more per hour. For
shorter periods the rates are much great
er, IA inches in seven hours, II inches
in six hours, IS inches in 10 hours, and
so on. The 4O.S inches on June IA, 1873,
appears to have been the largest amount
on any one day at Cherra. No wonder
with such dampnesS, that the locality
teens with leeches. Notwithstanding the
huge rainfall, the spot is considered a fair
ly healthy one, for almost as rapidly as it
falls the water flows away down the
gOrges.

1t was long thought that the dark waves
were fit abode only for strange, mis-
shapen monsters. But, as between the
sea and the land, DIR. Blackford contends,
if the reproach of barrenness must attach
to either, the land must bear that reproach,
for the sea contains a richness of fora

From the surface downward, says DR..
Blackford, the ocean teens with life to
such degree that naturalists stand
aghast as they contemplate it's infinite
variety. Here is a description of what
is to be seen on a coral lagoon:
Life on the bottom exists in it's great
est beauty and profusion in water that is
free from sediment and shifting sands.
On our Atlantic seaboard the conditions
are not very favorable, and, though anne
lids, molluscs and scrustaceans abound, the
more beautiful forms are scarce. The deli
cate sea-pen lives on the mud banks, and
forms of great symmetry are found; but
this is nothing compared with the wealth
of a coral lagoon. The vertical rays of
the sun reflected from the bottom make
the water as transparent as air; and, as
the boat floats slowly across, one can
gaze through the glass in the bottom of
the boat on scene Of indescribable
beauty. Great branching masses of coral
of varying hue look like shrubs or even
trees. Wonderful anthozoa, or flower ami
mails, and the zoophytes, strange animal
plants, are distributed freely over the bot
tom. In other places great lichen-covered
rocks seem to be spangled with red, star
shaped flowers; and through and about
it all the parrot fish fit, nibbling and
brousing on the buds. No garden can
equal these oceanic paradises in richness
or variety of color; yet they are filled with
animals almost to the exclusion of plant
life. The lichen is hydroid coral, the
starlike flowers are but the vermilion ends
Of boring annelids, and the parrot fish do
not nibble the stony coral, but seek gor-
gonias, madrepores, or small crustaceans.

The { old Supply.

George e. Roberts, Director of the
Mint, discusses in the August North
American Review "The Effects of the
New Supplies of Gold' Mr.. Roberts cal
culates that, with the restoration of peace
in South Africa and the resumption of
mining operations there, the yield of gold
in the world may be expected to reach
the vast sum of 500, 100000 a year, so
that the production of new gold from the
mines in the next Il years will equal the
entire stock of gold held for monetary
use in the world at the present. There
are only two periods in the history of the
money metals that can be compared to
the present-the period following the dis
covery of America, of the exploitation OF
the treasury of Mexico and Peru, and the
period following the discovery of gold in
California and Australia. Mr.. Roberts
examines the financial history of these
times with a view to gain from it what
ever experimental light it may throw
upon the question how the present and
prospective augmentation Of the gold sup
ply is to influence the business of the
world. The conclusion to which he comes,
speaking broadly, is that present condi-
tons and probabilities favor the owner of
real estate, fixed property and commodi-
ties, as against the owner of money and
securities which yield a fixed return, or
the salaried and wage-earning class.
