John E'iske Again.

To the mistakes and misstatements
made by Mr.. Fiske, relating to Vermont,
noted in previous article, may be add
the Vermonters in his account OF
the famous "Shays Rebellion This
as many of our readers know
was an insurrectionary movement in
western Massachusetts directed against
the State government, its objects
being TO resist taxation, secure issues of
fiat paper money, cut down salaries of
State officers and abolish lawyers. 1t
broke out in 1856, and was ended in Feb
ruary, 1884, by the dispersal of Shays ar
my, of some 1000 men, by the Massachu-
setts state militia under Gen. Benjamin
Lincoln. Mr.. Fiske says--p. 1872 of his
Critical Perod"-that Shays and $50 Of
| his men were taken prisoners the rest"
he adds, fled in all directions, most Of
them to AthOl and Mortified whence they
made their way into Vermont" More ac-
curatc historians say that Shays was not
captured but fled into New Hampshire.
! Instead of most of the insurgents making
their way into Vermont. the fact was that
less than a tenth of Shays' men fled into
Vermont About hundred of them
gathered in body in the border town of
SALISBURY, April 30. 1887. The town au-
thorities notified them that If they were
assembled with a view of continuing th"r
opposition to the state authority of Mas
sachuaetts they must dsperso immedi-
ately, for no such unlawful assembling
would be allowed In Vermont" The sher-

THE WORLDS BIGGEST SHIP.
White Star Liner G elite Which Sail
ed Friday on Her Maiden Trip.


The White Star liner Celtic, which sailed
largest shin in the world. being almost
quarter as large again as the Oceanic
which was previously the biggest leViathan
afoat. As for the world-fAmous Great
Eastern, which was until quite recently
regarded as beyond all practicable size, 1t

ocean greyhound.
The Celtic is in every sense of the term
floating city having no fewer than dozen
decks, and being 100 feet long, with beam
of IS feet, and a displacement of $500 tons.
She will carry 3 142 passengers and crew,
and 1900 tons of cargo.
The captains bridge is 100 feet above
the keel. The plates are an inch and a
half thick and weigh about four tons
apiece. while 1,7H.cU0 rivets have been put
into the vessel by hydraulic machinery.
All the men who could stand on her decks
at one time would stretch in single file
from London to Norwich-a distance of
about ninety miles, as the crow flies.
II Is said that at present the Celtic cam
not be loaded to her utmost capacity, as
she would in that event probably ground
on the bar Of New York harbor, whore the
depth at low water Is about 90 feet, but 1t
will soon be dredged down to 10 feet, so
there is no need to fear that she will not
be able to carry full caryOes when she
once sets on her ocean-going career.

quantity of provisions the Celtic will carry.

DR.. Koch's Discovery About Bovine
Tuberculosis.

The announcement of n discovery by
the famous Or. Koch of Berlin that bo-
vine tuberculosis is not transmittable 10
the human system will inevitably revive
the controversy which has been wageu
through the columns of the press with
reference to the course pursued by the
cattle commissioners in other states as
we'll as in Vermont in killing cattle that
responded to the tuberculin test. Thc bac-
terolocist claims that he has demonstrate
ed that milk and meat from cattle infect
ed with tuberculosis can be consumed
with inpunty and that he has arrived at
his conclusions through indisputable
tests.
Prof Koch holds that human and boz
vine tuberculosis are OF entirely different
species and that 1t is impossible toinfect a
lower order of animals with human tuber-
culosis as it is impossible to infect hui
man being with bovine tuberculosis
germs
The high standing which Prof. Koch en-
joys in the medical and scientific world
will serve to lend wide interest TO what
he has to say with reference to the sub
iect OF bovine tuberculosis, on the part of
the public in general, while among medi-
cal authorities there will be even more
bitter controversy than before
one thing can he safely said, however
and this Is that no matter how the sci
entists may differ in relation TO the trans
liability of bovine tuberculosis to the
human system. there arc few intelligent
men and women who will not choose tc
have the milk and meat which they con-
sumo come from healthy cows rather thar
! diseased animals.

Other members of the association doubt

an Insult to a judge of high court to as

MANAGEMENT OF LIQUOR AGEN-

CFrom the Mortified News.)

In view of numerous complaints and
criticisms Of the manner of conducting
certain liquor agencies throughout tho
State it was suggested in these coiumus
recently that it would be in the interests
of good temperance work for the Anti
Saloon League to make thorough inves
tigation of the methods employed IN hand
ling the several agencies in the state and
wherever abuses were found to insist that
these legali2cd places for the sale oS liquor
he run strictly in accordance with the
law, WhereAt our good neighbors the St,
Alhans Messenger and Burlington Clip
per rise to enquire: What has the Anti
Saloon League to do with this" TO elu-
cidatc briefly; Any private citizen has n
right to encourage and insist upon the en-
forccmCnt Of the law; If he believes his
influence will be greater by combination
with other citizens who have the same OBJ
ject in view he has moral and legal
right to do so, This is the fundamental
principle on which the Anti Saloon League
Is based and as an organization 1t has the
same rights as the Individual in seeing to
1t that public officials are faithful to the

THE BIRTH OF THE MOON.

The earth rcVolVes on its axis once in
"a hours. Millions of years ago the day
was % hours; millions of years before, 1t
was q hours. As we look backward into
time we find the earth revolving raster
and faster. There was a time, ages ago,
long before geology begins. when tho
earth was rotating in a day of five or SIX
hours in length. In the remotest past the
earth revolved in a day of about hVe
hours. 1t could revolVe no faster than
this and remain a single unbroken mass
II was at this time that the moon was
born-separated, broken off, from the pa
rent mass of the earth. The earth was
then IA molten nattcnod sphere of lava.
Its whole body was fluid The tides, which
now are small superficial, and, so to say,
local. Were then universal and Immense.
They occurred at short intervals. The
whole surface of our globe was affected.
And the correspondent lunar tides In the
fluid molten moon were indefinitely great
err still.
our day Is now q hours; the distance of
the moon is now 10000 miles. When our
day was about five hours long the moon
was in contact with the earths surface,
1t has lust broken away from its parent
mass AS the length of the terrestrial day
increased so did the distance Of the moon.
The two quantities are connected by In
exorable equations. lr one varies so must
the other. Whenever the rotation time
of a planet is shorter than the period oi
revolution of its satellite, the effect OF
their mutual action Is to accelerate the
motion of the satellite and to force 1t tc
move in larger orbit-to increase Its
distance. therefore,
The day of the earth is now shorter
than the month--the period OF revolution
of the moon. The moon Is therefore
slowly receding from u.s. and 1t has beer
recoding for thousands of centuries. But
the day Of the earth Is, as we hay" seer
slowly growing longer. The nnger of tn,
tides is always pressing upon the rim Of
our huge fy-whoel, and slowly but surely
lcssening the speed OF it's rotation. S,
long as the terrestrial day Is shorter than
the lunar month, the moon will continue
! To rccede from us.-Prof. Il. s. Holden II

know how the charges against Rear Nd

the controversy has rested entirely upon
accusations made by persons whom tho
navy department cannot recognize as com.

Criticism Of Rear Admiral Schley's
course begins with the departure Of Tho
