David Bartlett, of Cooperstown,
made almost an ideal presiding
officer for the senate during the
recent session. He was uniform
ly fair and impartial in his rul-
ings, and was conceded to be
thoroughly informed us to par
liamentary practice. He enjoyed
nothing so much as one of the
little fights over rules of ORDER.
and never was disturbed over
such a small matter as a dozen or
so substitute motions pending at
one time. We hope some day to
see Mr.. Bartlett celebrated to the
highest position at the disposal
of the people of this common
wealth. Hope Hioneer.

Despite heavy drafts made
necessary by reason Of large ex-
penditures for the military
establishment and other pur-
poses, the surplus funds in the
United States treasury have
grown steadily since the begin
Mug of the fiscal year, July / last
EARLY in the current fiscal
period Secretary Gage estimated
that the balance of government
receipts over expenditures
would reach $50, Ooo, 600 by June
30, 1901. But the payments
growing out of the administra-
ii IN of the refunding act we're
larger than was expected and
there was a coincidence of other
large expenditures near the close
Of the last calendar year that re-
tarded the growth of the surplus.
Since Jan. /, however, the in
crease in surplus funds has been
almost phenomenally rapid, until
the treasury balance to-day
reached the total of $36,542, 900
for less than nine months of the
fiscal year. Had the increase
been as rapid during the entire
period as it has been during the
last three months the surplus
would certainly have exceeded
500, 900 600, and the prediction
of $e0,O00,O0O made by the
treasury authorities for the
whole year would probably have
been justified
Since Jan. / the surplus has
grown from about S18,O0O,O00 to
more than $50, 0oO, 900 anincrease
of about about 233, 900 for every
business day. Only one item Of
extraor binary expenditure is ex
pected between this time and the
end of the fiscal year, Jrne 30
and that item is only $500, 600
These favorable conditions have
led to some consideration of the
policy Of buying bonds to cover
into the sinking fund. and it is
not impossible that such a pur
chase will be made by the gov.
eminent in the near future.

An Anecdote Of Greeley.

A call was once made by a dozen
noted artists of the Academy of De-
sign, in 1870, on Horace Greeley. Mr..
Clarence Cook, then the art critic of
The Tribune, had been saying things
about the academy exhibition which
caused the venerable chiefs Of that es-
tablishment to boil with indignation.
One day a committee went down to
The Tribune to complain. Mr.. Greeley,
having listened in silence to what these
gentlemen had to say, looked up from
his desk, a twinkle In his eye, and
said. with his peculiar nasal falsetto:
Gentlemen, judge from your re-
marks that Mr.. Cooks articles are
widely read. They will therefore con-
tinue to be printed in The Tribune.
Good morning."

Cloud Mountains.

The highest of all the. clouds are
those delicate, white, flbrous,t detached
masses of frozen vapor; always seem
high against the blue sky, The top
most point of the highest of these may
be ten miles above the earth. They are
called cirrhus clouds. Altogether there
are ten principal types of clouds. The
lowest, known as the stratus, are really
horizontal sheets of lifted fog seen on
damp days or In very damp localities.
These clouds are only n few hundred
feet above the earth.
Some of the vast bodies of vapor are
higher than the tallest of the Alps.
They are undoubtedly snow capped
veritable mountains of ice and snow.
1t has been discovered that the tenn
perature on one such summit was "a
degrees below zero.
Were 1t possible for us to ascend In a
balloon and penetrate one of these
snow capped peaks from base to sum-
NIT we should travel first through q
layer of dry air, vapor and water n

and finally through the summit, com.
posed of dry air, vapor and Ice, but no

Getting Away From Land.

The question has been asked, Is 1t
possible to sail 1000 miles from land?
This can be done at several points. BY
leaving San Francisco and sailing
northwestward into the north Pacific q
spot is reached where there is no land,
not even an islet, for 1000 miles In any
direction. So, too, sailing from the
southern point of Kamchatka south
eastward ships reach point equally
distant from land of any kind, the
nearest to the north being the Aleu-
tian islands and to the south the
outlying members of the Sandwich
group. In the southern Indian ocean
1t is possible to sail 1000 miles out
from the southern points Of Australia
and New Zealand and still be as far
from any other land, and the same may
be done In a westerly direction from
Cape Horn. Indeed, from this point
n much longer distance might be reach
ed, for the southern Pacific between
the Horn and New Zealand covers n
space of so degrees of longitude and
40 Of latitude of absolutely unbroken
sea, making its central point over 1900
miles from anywhere.

He shunneth water as mad dog and
drinketh much mean whiskey. When

raiseth even from the cradle to seek the
scalp of his grandsire's enemy and
bringeth home in his carcass the amu-

father-in-law who avengeth the deed.
Yea, verify his life is uncertain and he
knoweth not the hour when he may be
ierked hence. He goeth forth on a
journey half-shot and returneth on a
shutter shot. He riseth In the night to
let the cat out and it taketh nine doc
tors three days to pick the shot out OF
him. He goeth forth in joy and glad
ness and cometh back in scraps and
fragments. A cyclone bloweth him in
to the bosom of his neighbor's wife and
his neighbours wife's husband bloweth
him into Abraham's bosom before he
hath time to explain. He emptyeth
