 A reform movement should never be quiet. It should be loud, open and above board. Otherwise 1t as reprehensible as that unostentatious form of intoxica- ton known as the "still drunk" We can say nothing against the morals of either of the candidates for marshal. but We happen to know that MT.

He is not a loiterer about disreputable places He has the respect of all business men and his word is known to be as good as the bond of any man in Arizona. Mir.

How great is the purely military value
Of keeping troops in foreign territory
strictly in hand, our modern pillagers
seem to forget, says the New York Even
ing Post. A good part Of Wellington's
success in Spain and in the south of
France was due to the severity with
which he put down looting. When he
crossed the Pyrenees, he found his Span
ish allies robbing and killing right and
left. Thereupon the duke not only hung
the chief culprlts, but actually sent back
the whole Spanish contingent over the
Pyrenees, saying, when he reported his
action, Il do not believe that the union of
the two nations Spain and EnglanD de-
ponds on pillage; but if it does. declare,
for one, that l desire neither the COM
mand nor the continuance Of such bond
founded on plumber" A similar doctrine
would have blown asunder the concert Of
Christian powers in China. And that
Wellington's policy was neither the 'mis-
taken leniency" nor the "sickly sentiment
talism' which so many of our blood
thirsty noncombatants are nowadays de-
ploring, is shown by the contemporary
testimony Of a French officer The

cepted French dispatch Of 1913, land the

A bronze bust Of Constantine the
Great, found by DR.. Wassitch at Nisch.
Servia, has been placed in the National
museum in Belgrade. The bust gives
evidence Of having been gilded. The
diadem consists Of little squares which
are alternated with laurel and olive ber-
ries. In the middle Of the diadem there
is medallion. The crown Of the head
is slightly damaged and shows few
small holes. The left cheek is somewhat
pressed in. The profile is the same that
figures on the familiar coins of Con-
stantine the Great, who was born in
ancient Naissus in PIP A. u. A few
small coins were found with the bust,
and have been placed in the National
museum in Belgrade. The translated
version Of the inscription which has been
placed on the bust reads: This bronze
head was found on August %, 1900, on

Prof. Simon Newcomb, lecturing o.
the progress Of astronomy before Column
bian university, says: 1T is determined
that the solar system is moving for
ward in space 10000 miles an hour, but
whence it came or whittier it is gong
no one can tell" Mr.. Newcomb did not
believe instruments would ever be dis
covered that would allow astronomers to
prove that rational inhabitants exist on
other planets. The only way in which
they can judge will be by conditions of
other planets, which would make it
probable or improbable that rational
beings such as are on the earth, can live
there. Mars may be inhabited, but
astronomers have not been able to draw
any evidence on that subject one way or
the other. What changes may come: to
the earth, the solar system or the uni
verse could only be matters Of uncertain
speculation. Only one theory can be
counted on and that is that ''all things
must end"

Crows as Enemies of Terrapins.

The crow is the evil genius of the tur-
tie just as of the diamond-back and 9TH
er terrapins. When the warm days of
spring come and the female terrapins and
turtles leave their beds in the marsh, the
crow goes on guard, knowing that sea-
son of feasting is on hand. Both terra
pins and turtles seek the warm. sandy
uplands near the shore to deposit their
eggs. A hole is dug several inches deep
and from twenty to thirty inches oblong,
white eggs are deposited and then the
nest is filled or covered with sand. Hay-
ing neatly piled the sand over the eggs,
the turtle raises herself just as high as
is possible, then comes down with a
heavy thud on the sand. This is contin-
ued until the sand is quite hard, when
the eggs are left for the sun to hatch.
In the meantime the crow has been on
guard, and by means of his sharp bill and
strong claws the work of breaking into
the treasure house of the unsuspecting
turtle is quickly accomplished and the
feast is soon over. The crow is consid-
cred by many to be the greatest enemy
the diamond-back has. It is an easily
established fact that the crow DESTROYS
thousands of the eggs of all kinds Of ter
rapins. not making an exception of the
nd-backs.-Baltimore Sun.

The officers and men of the United
States forces killed in battle and dying
of wounds from the beginning to the end
Of the Philippine war numbered less than
one thousand. The exact number was

twenty died from disease, making the to-
tai cost of the war to the United States
in human life 3O28. The total cost in
money is calculated to have been $780,
$4,000. This is the showing on the
debit side Of the ledger. On the credit
side is the gain Of commanding posi-

the acquisition Of the richest archipelago

sure the enlarged well-being of a popula-

orally throughout the state, and in man
ner quite similar to that adopted by New
Hampshire last year. Gov. Stickney is
ut the head of n large committee, which
is already busily at work planning for the
celebration. The number Of native Yer

these to the green hills and smiling val
leys of the state promises to be the most
notable event of the year.

Blasting with Liquid Air.

The experiments made with view to
using liquid air as one of the constituents
of an explosive are DESCRIBED by A. Lar

the Institution of Mining Engineers.
The cartridges used for blasting trials
in the Simplon tunnel consisted of
wrapper filled with carbonaceous ma
terial, such, for instance, as mixture of
equal parts of paraffine and of charcoal,
and dipped bodily in liquid air until com
pletely soaked. The cartridges were
kept in liquid air at the working face
Of the rock until required for use, when
they were put quickly in the shot holes
and detonated with a small guncotton
primer and detonator. The life of such
a cartridge is, unfortunately, very short
after the cartridge has been removed
from the liquid air. "A cartridge inches
in length and 3 inches in diameter has

THE STUDY OF GLACIERS.

John Muir's Explorations in the
Northwest Service to Science.
1t is largely to the extended. patient
researches of John Muir that the scien-
tifc world is indebted for a great part
Of it's information on glacial movements.
What Thoreau did for the region about
Walden Pond, Mr.. Muir has done for
bound Businesses of Alaska to the snow
capped peaks Of the South. giving US a
minute and accurate record, geOgraph-
zeal, geological and botanical.
Along the mountains Of the coast to
Alaska stretches series of glaciers,
thousands in number. Many of them
are still active. From the summit Of
Mount Rainier, for instance, radiate
eight glaciers, from seven to twelve
miles long, forming the sources Of the
principal rivers of the slate of Wash
ington. On through BIRTHS Columbia and
into Alaska the mountains stretch, and
among their peaks and in their deep
canyons are still other glaciers. John
Muir estimates that there are probably
more than five thousand glaciers. not
counting the smaller ones. Muir Glacier
width spreads out about twenty-five
miles.
The work Of these great streams is
even yet doing. They are cutting deep
canyons in the mountains. preparing the
soil for forests yet to exist, forming new
lakes, sometimes destroying those now
there: forming and extending fords and
inlets, blocking out, grinding down,
breaking away precipices, and, by age
long processes of erosion, helping on the
business of licking into shape the CONT
nent upon which they live. 1t is among
these awesome forces that John Muir
has spent the best years of his life.
