This increase is due to the. fall In the death rate, the birth rate, in fact having decreased from 37.56 in 1871 to Sl-bI in 1Sc1. There are over million more women in the country than men, and this excess Is still on the increase. The eco- homie basis of civilization IS thue be- coming painfully evident.

CHINESE WERE FIRST.
The People There Used Paper Money
 Seven Centuries Ago.

A financial journal that has been delv- ing into the mysteries of past ages and the histories of other nations quite re- cently printed a fac-simile of Chinese treasury note of the year 1867. probably the oldest piece of paper money in exis- tence This note was found last Janu- ary along with other valuables in a bronze statue of Buddha, which stood in a temple within the inclosure of the sum mer palace of the dowager empress of China. Italian soldiers engaged in loot ing broke a hole in the base of the fig ure and the paper money tumbled out along with gold, silver and brass coin, lentils. rice. rolls of prayers, etc. The note was issued, according to the print ing on 1t. by the board of revenue of the Emperor Hung Wu in the year 1867. and it's value is stated to be '25o taels" (about $16). It Is professed to be re deemable in silver bullion"
 Besides being the oldest known piece of paper money this treasury note makes 1t clear that Gutenberg was not the first user of movable type. The note was clearly printed with movable type at date over loo years before Gutenberg be- gan to experiment The German printer was born in 14l0, long after the use of movable type in China. It is asserted, in fact. that the Chinese employed nova ble type as early as the eleventh cen tury. The British museum has Corean book of 1887. Paper money in China dates back to l40 B. C., or earlier. Ac- cording to Kalproth. the -et rlier bills were made of white stag skin and were a foot square.

MT. Bryan Groping.

Chicago Chronicle.
 politics in his Labor Day speech MT. Bryan failed to make the point that he wanted to and which by right he should have done in plain words: He said; o,,.,on of the problem is for the laboring man to divide the profits with the trusts. That has been given as an argument Tor moral and impolitic. I want to warn you to resist the overtures of the trusts Beware when corporations ask you 10 join them. The offer of the trusts to d. vide with the laboring man Is pitfall When you permit private monopoly to dictate terms of division then you place yourselves wholly at their mercy"
 If this is not a reference to the wages fallaey which has kept great numbers ot workingmen in support of the protected a trusts It is not to be easily understood, d; which any trust or any promoter of trusts has ever proposed to divide ~..th the laboring man" or has eyer asked been by means of the promise of high wages as a result of tarlff taxation.
 Assuming that this Is what MT. Bryan had in mind, why should he not have eX- pressed himself plainly? The protective tariff, under which many of the most of 'fensive trusts are sheltered and without which not many of them could exist, IS no more a political and a party issue than are the trusts themselves. To at tack the trusts is to attack the tarir and to defend the tariff Is to defend the trusts which the tariff has brought into existence.
 During the five or six years that MT. Bryan refused to discuss any public question, except the ratio of metallic coine ge, and during which time he de- clined to affiliate with Democrats who did not agree with him as to that ratio: he ignored the tariff matter entirely and in the Chicago platform he expressly de- clar.d that this monstrous evil should not even be discussed by Democrats un- til the free coinage of H-cent dollars had been provided for.
 Under the circumstances it is possible that something hesides a regard for the pFoprIeties of Labor pay made him Eonaewhat uncertain and fogRy in his handling of the tariff question on that occasion. It is a long time since he un- dertook to make a speech on cleal-cut way, so to speak.

Rainfall on Mountain Slopes.

It Is we'll known that the side of a mountain range turned toward the pre- vailing wind has. in general, a greater rainfall than the leeward slopes of the range. The qualitative explanation of the obscrevd fact is that the principal cause of the condensation of aqueous vapor is the adiabatic cooling of the moving mass of air which must necessarily rise In It's passage from the plain over the eres- of the range.
 A quantitative and mathematical theory of the phenomenon has lately been work ed out by Professor Pockels of Drcsden and printed by the Unnted States WeAth- CT Bureau in Washington; All the ol'- served facts are represented in his neat ment of the case. and the interesting C. 'Tl- ciusion is reached that there is q zone or maximum rainfall on the windwal d side of the mountain slope :a con-: tsion that is verified by the rainfall statistics of high mountalnsl and the further n- clusion that the inclination of the eaIth.s effectiye In respect of the amo1t of pre- cipitation tha nits absolute elevatsfn.

cow WITH A FALSE TAIL.
It Involved Its Astonished Owner in
 Lawsuit.
pittshnrg ChronIcle-Telegraph

PittsburR Chronicle Telegraph
 A COW with a false tail figured this morning in a suit for damages before Alderman William A. Means, and be- cause the tail was bogus the suit was withdrawn apd the costs were paid by
 Charles Ea npbeil. of Mohler Street. en- tered suit against Henry Weller, of Wheeler Street for damages alleged to have been caused by the ravages in CampbelFs garden by a COW, but he did not recognize it without the tail. The case was to have come to a hearing this morning, but Ut the appointed hour Campbell appeared. withdrew the suit and paid the costs. He then explained the reason to Alderman Means.
 Early in the week Campbell bought a COW from John Mcclure. who, he said, lives in Frankstown road. He brought the COW home and turned her loose In his garden, but was astonished Thurs day morning to find what appeared to be strange COW in his patch The an- imal had no tail He was told by some neighbors that the animal belonged to Meller. and the same morning he enter ed suit before Alderman Means. He also chased the COW out. When he returned to figure up the extent of damage done in his garden he found cows tail with hIts of rawhide sticking to it. This ana ether information convinced Campbell that the COW was the one ne had DoaglaI and which had switched off her tail. For this reason he withdrew the suit

THE NEGROES
Of the Period Bsfors. and the War

Of the Period Befores and the War. Richmond Times.
 Prof. Goldwin Smith proceeds to say that he cannot help receiving with ments about the negro's propensity to rape" And adds:
 During the Civil War. while the men ot , the South were in the field and their MlVes ana daughters were left in the guArdianship of the negro, we were told tnat n no case had the trust been be- traye1; tray The fact was cited as a proof that che relation between the slave and ists had paints d it.
 That is all true enough, but it simply ated. When tho negroes were slaves they were taught good manners and good morals 6y their white masters and lesson of self-control Find an old-fash- tened negro now and you find a man who respects a good woman and who would harm her. It is not the neSroes @ of the old school who commit these fiendish crimes. Not long ago a black ed in court In one of the Southern towns upon this serious charge. He could in- trojuce no evidence In his behalf except testified to his good character This testimony was so strorg that the Com monwealth's attorney refused to prose- cute. and the judge in dismissing the good character which he had so success fully established. The negro replied with feeling that he owed his character to the training of his old master.
 Emf most of the young negroes of the new generation have unfortunately had no such training, but from the time that they are able to walk are turned loose to do as they please without moral train- ing and without moral restraint. They grow up to a life of indulgence, they cul- tivate the brutal instincts and 1t Is not aufV that thGV indulge their Hfu- tai appetites whenever occasion pre- sents itself.
 We say that we condemn lynching as much as Prof. Smith does. but we say further that when these proving brutes go around and prey upon the white wo- men of the South 1t Is not surprising that the white men should rise up in their indignation and put them to death.

HOW A STEAMER WENT DOWN.
Graphic Description of the Plunge
 of the Kineora.

or the AluCoT0.
 This account of the recent collision be- tween the steamships Oceanic and Kim cora was written by passenger on me Oceanic:
 I was reading in my bunk last night and the foghorn began to bow. and at wave had struck our vessel. and we had gone through 1t. Something fell on the deck q am three decks down). and after a time became conscious of an excite our vessel had struck another steamer about one third from It's stern. and the two were lying apparently fixed, with the steamers bows pointing at an angle with very misty night. and above the junction of the two ships there was light which radiated through the mist without giving much illumination
 steamer was lying with its nose up and its stem above the water. The bow rose higher and higher the masts were seen at an increasingly extraordinary angle, with the deck of cur steamer. The mast head light of the steamer came down and down, when a contrary motion seized the steamer and she slipped down, stern fore most with appalling speed, and, when feIl over on her deck and disappeared without a sound.
 It was if she covered her face and fell forward on the death that threaten went down, and her last motion before disappearing, were very striking. The contrast between our lighted decks tor before the end every light had been turned on) and her hull, dark and back except wheer her masthead light fiicker- ed and where some light came out of the engine room, made great<picture,
 Our boats were got out at once, but no one came up after the steamer went down. I was on deck at 110 and by 1:l7 the tragedy was finished.

POPULAR CHRISTIAN NAMEs.
William is the Most Common of the
 Male Ones, with John Second.

Tit-BitS.
 Some romantic parents love to christen their infants with high-falutin' names. Religious parents search the Scriptures before the baptismal ceremony. Parents in search of a fortune will label their luckless babies with the surnames of the expected testator. But, nevertheless, thc list of common English Christian names is very small one. Out of every hu1- dred fathers and mothers of male chil- dren some eighty-four limit their choice to fifteen family names
 The favorite name is undoubtedly Wll- liam In all ranks of society-in the peerage as in the workhouse-Wiliiam Is the comnionest of male Christian names.
 Stop the first thousand men you meet in the street. No fewer than ITO are Williams. long way behind comes the Johns, closely followed by the Georges Of every thousand men ninety-four are called John and ninety-two George.
 The next commonest name Is Thomas, which has seventy-four owners, while James claims seventy-two. Henry and Harry between them are seventy in nupl- Der. Of these about one in four have received the name of Harry at the bap- tismal font. Following them come Fred erick with ffty-seven, Charles with for ty-eight, Alfred with forty-five and AL bert some way behind with thirty-one.

AMERICA's BIG GUN.
Exceeds All Foreign Cannons in
 Range and Elevation.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The English, French and Italians have for some time until lately led the world in the size and range of their artillery the English with gun of 61-4 inches caliber, the French with one of 1e leg inch es and the Italians with a gun of 17 3-4 inches caliber The English gun throws prejectile of 1900 pounds weight, with muxxle velocity of 2,1o6 feet per second.
 But 1s-inch caliber gun has lately been turned out of the works at Watervliet. N. Y., for the United States coast de fense, which is computed by the ord- nance experts to have enormously greater range and energy than anything hereto
 This gun is of but 1s-inch caliber, but eter of 5 feet. and weighs 126 tons. It will require a charge of 57s pounds of moran smokeless powder. it will throw pro jectile s 1-3 feet long and weighing 2,370 pounds with such muzzle energy aa to penetrate 42-inch steel plate.
 The greatest range heretofore ever at- tained was by a Krupp gun of a little less than 10 inches bore tested in Germany in 1899. The measured range in this case was l2 1-2 miles and the greatest eleva- ton attained by the shell was a little more than four miles. This, it was esti- mated, would have carried the shot over the Alps, Ia miles above Mt. Blanc.
 The American gun, however, is figured to do much better than this. It will carry a shot of more than a ton over a curved trajectory so0oo feet high and of miles range If fired from the level of the sea 1t would send it's shot .090 feet above the highest peak of the Himaiaya range.
