turned out correct. These magnetic
disturbances, having apparently such
d direct relation with sun spots. when
of very pronounced character, were in
variably followed by violent magnetic
storms, insomuch that the matter en-
gagged the attention of certain officials
of the Weather Bureau as one worthy
of research in connection with the work
of that institution.
During the eruption of the volcano
of Krakatoa, in 1883. remarkable al
teration in the amount of secular
change was noted in the declnation
and inclination of the needle at the
observatories of Bombay, Batavia, and
Eongkong. This may have been only
a coincidence, but it may also point to
the possibility that the changes below
the surface of the earth which cuilni-
mated in that mighty explosion, and
may still be at work. have had, and
continue to have, magnetic effects
which are recorded by the needles at
those observa.ories.
Our present amount of knowledge
on the subject of terrestrial magnetism
is just about enough to cause us TO re-
alize. in a vague and underlined man
ner. the immense amount we do not
know.
I'VE do not know why the earth is
magnet, the cause of the secular change
of its magnetism, why it is subject to
solar diurnal. lunar diurnal sidereal
diurnal. and the other variations and
AZ Ia
netic storms, although we can observe
connections between them, earth cur
rents and auroral. Whether the causes
of all these exist below the surface of,
or are external to, the earth, or are
combination of the two, has still to be
learned, and it seems hardly too much
to hope that the restless needle Will
sooner or later be the means of open
ing up sources of knowledge invaluable
to cosmical science, as well as to those
concerned only with the planet upon
which they dwell. Such results can
only be accomplished by establishing
around the earth a chain of magnetic
observatories. conducting uninterrupt-
Ell and systematic obserI ations per-
hars for a number of years, and then
carefully comparing the entire data
obtained. 1t is odd enough that the
only magnetic observatory in the Do
minion of Canada is rendered useless
by the same cause that prevents us
from using our plant-namely, an cleo
trio car line in the vicinity. Two OBJ
servatories of this description are in
process of erection in this country, and
it is to be hoped that they may have
luck enough to keep out of the way of
the power OF the corporation which Is
able to successfully combat the noblest
efforts of science"

Early Closing Hours.

Editor Daily Herald. Organized
labor, which hold is authority on this
subject, has reached the conclusion
that man can do more work and
do it in more satisfactory manner,
in eight or ten hours than he can in
ten or twelve hours. The United
States government recognizes the fact
that their employees will perform the
same duties in eight hours more will
ingly and more satisfactorily than
they will in ten hours.
Yet there are some people in Column
bia who contend perhaps not by say
ing SO openly by the fact that thew
keep their places of business open all
day and part of the night, that because
they have q man hired by the week or
month they should have all of his
time except when he is actually asleep.
Some of them have reasons for this,
some have not. Not one, with the ex-
ception of the druggist, will tell you
that it pays to stay open at night.
Some will tell you they cannot close,
while others stay open, in order to avoid
the risk of making some of their GUS
toners mad. Others will tell you that
they have the right to stay open, and
because they have this right they are
going to stay open If they do lose by
it. These people all the time imagine
someone is trying to dictate to them,
and mistake request for demand.
No one denies their legal right to
stay open all night, il they want to.
But / do deny that they have the
moral right to work salesman fifteen
| or sixteen hours day.
| Again, they are encouraged by 8
very few customers to keep open late
at night, and these very customers are
usually the ones that complain Of
lazy, drowsy, stupid clerks. After
working all day and part of the night,
how could they be otherwise2 The
fact that they do not perform manua
labor is no argument that they don
get tired and worn out. The duties Of
a salesman are just as fatiguing,
physically, and more so mentally, thar
most any other kind of ordinary labor.
The constant confinement, the necessity
of being perfectly agreeable under an.
and all circumstances, have thei
| effects.
Another reason urged in favor O
early closing is that it will give some
opportunities for social pleasures ant
mental development, if one so desires
1t is admitted that the same amour
of business, in dollars and celts, Cal
be done in shorter hours. Then, i
this is a fact, why compel sales-peopl
to grind, day in and day out, withou
any opportunity for recreation, SOFIA
pleasures, or any other enjoyment the.
might engage in.
/ So far as the writer is PERSONAL.
concerned, he has no particular griev
ance, but simply feels an interest il
those who have. 1t is to be hoped tina
customers and merchants both will
be able to see where early closing
would be benefcient to all, and tina
the customers will make purchases il
the daytime, therebyrendering invalid
any excuse the merchant might hav
for keeping open late at night.

WILL APPOINT DEMOCRATS"
President Teddy Said to Have Sew
eral on the String.

The Washington correspondent to the
Chicago Inter Ocean says that as a
means of breaking down the color
line as a party division in the South,
President Roosevelt proposes to appoint
to office number of Democrats who
are not in line with their party on the
silver and anti-expansion issues. These
appointments are to be made without
regard to political influence, and he be-
lieves it will be the means of breaking
down the barrier that forces the white
men of the South always to stand to-
gether as Democrats to prevent negro
domination. The idea of the Presi-
dent is said to be not to build up a
fractional following, but to restore pop.
ular government as far as it can safely
be done.
