Nation's
Capitol

Il Is not generally known that lren-
ton. \. j.. besides being the temporary
capital Of the United States for some
time, was the site selected for the per-
manent national reservation and cap
ital. The selection Of the site precipi-
tated the first sectional fight this coun-
try ever experienced and divided the
patriots in congress. During the revo-
lutionary war congress and the United
States government were living a noma-
die existence. wandering from place to
place to keep out Of the way Of the
pursuing redcoats. They kept in New
Jersey because Il was between New
York and Philadelphia, and consider
able Of the time was spent Ia Trenton.
There were a few small taverns. but
the residents were hospitable and
placed their homes at the disposal of
the members Of the homeless govern
ment- The Blazing Star" was the
swell hostelry Of the little capital city
and here congress did its business.
Finally the people began to clamor for
congress to become stationary and get
on a permanent business basis. In
June. 1873. congress announced that il
would open bids for a location and
would settle down to Housekeeping in
the state that would offer the best ad-
vantage The New Jersey legislature
declared by resolution that the state
would cede a reservation twenty miles
square to the national government and
put up a subsidy of $4,000 in specie.
The southern congressman claimed the
capital BY right, and declared il should
not go above the Mason and Dixon line.
The New England states aud New York
stood by New Jersey in the claim for
the national capital. Pennsylvania was
divided. the lower part standing by the
southern states. In October. 1888, Mr..
Gerry Of Massachusetts,, Of gerryman-
der fame. moved in congress that the
building for the use Of congress be
erected on the banks OF the Delaware
river. near Trenton. or on the Poto-
mac, near Georgetown. This was done
to force the issue, but the Georgetown
clause was stricken out. and the bill
smended so as to red near the falls
OF Trenton" on either side OF the river.
Next day the southern members in
troduced a motion to reconsider in

would drag Il through the water.

IS hooked securely it by no means is
caught.
AS soon as it feels the sharp prick
Of the hook 1t darts to the bottom Of
the boat OF some other smooth surface
and afIixes itself so strongly and with
such a spartan-like determination not
TO be taken alive that the hook may
be torn out Of its mouth before the
iish will relax its pertinacious hold.
BY drawing the fish smartly out Of
the water just as soon as It Is firmly
hooked, however, II can be caught
without much trouble And in this
way hundreds are caught by the Chi
nese and used to catch turtles.
The sucking fish Is seldom more than
twelve Inches long and Is duslxy brown
in color. being darker on the back than
on the abdomen.

Want the
Open Church

William f. Dodge. a prominent Pres

has given generously to the support
OF the church. in addressing his core
llgionists in the metropolis Thursday
evening. said:
Il believe that our Protestant
churches as now carried on do not do
the good they should. The dens Of vice
are open pretty nearly all the time al
Turing the innocent to destruction.
They are doing business in every quar-
ter Of the city. Our churches. splendid
temples and luxuriously fitted up. are
open about three hours a week. Let
us have less expensive churches and
more effective ones Let the doors be
kept open the greater part Of the day
for meditation and worship. The
Catholics have proilted greatly by the
open church and Professionalism would
be correspondingly advanced by follow

SPIDERS MAKE VOYAGES.

gins.
The spider Is a born aeronaut ano
makes ascensions that sometimes
carry him far out to sea. During his
voyage around the world in the ship
Beagle the naturalist Darwin gave par
tieular attention to the spider and his
airship. This last consisted Of a
single strand Of web silk, and the in
sect-in this case a tiny red gossamer
spider Ole-tenth Of an inch lOng-came
aboard in great numbers while the
Beagle was sailing sixty miles from
land The threads Of silk which they
used in their aerial voyage were two
and sometimes three feet In length
while they themselves were So light
that they were able to voyage about on
the heat waves that rose from the wa
ter on a warm day Companies Of sew
eral th0usand-male. female and
young-Would appear in the Beagle's
rigging. and Immediately upon arriv-
ing they would drink thirstly Of any
water that could be come at. The
sharp-eyed Charles Darwin thought
that this thirst was caused not 50 much
BY the salt ocean air as BY their pass
Ing through the dry. rarehed upper re-
gions Of the atmosphere, showing that
they sailed at considerable heights In
their voyages. The little travellers
were very active during the time they
remained aboard, running about the
rigging. spinning webs from an ap-
parently endless supply. dropping,
climbing and even skimming over the
smooth surface Of the ocean.
Many other insects find their way
out 10 sea. some going OF their own

One evening while the Beagle was ten
miles from the shores Of Patagonia
she was surrounded by vast swarms
Of butterflies reaching beyond the
range Of a telescope There was no
space free Of them. and they resembled
nothing so much as a snoWstorm.
There was no wind and the insects
we're seemingly on a voyage OF their
own choosing, but before dusk a strong
breeze came up and it was very like
" that tens Of thousands of them were
drowned on their pleasure trip. At
another time a number Of beetles
eight distinct species-were drawn up
In a net set for specimens Of small
fishes Four OF these species were
natural swimmers and Darwin con-
cluded that they had been washed out
to sea in the current OF their native
river. The most remarkable case OF
the sort during the voyage was that
Of a large grasshopper which few on

guarded by an unvarying trade wind.
How II ever got away from it's own
kind was a problem that even the wise
naturalist could not solve. Flies some
times travel out to sea with a ship.
but after a few days they leave the ves-
sci and are apparently lost.

treasury. Three commissioners were
appointed to proceed under the act and
start the capital. They were Philip
Schuyler Of New York. Philemon Dick
inson Of Trenton and Robert Morris
the great hnancier. living opposite
Trenton. Washington was forced 10
take sides with the south. and in an
open letter to Richard Henry Lee, then
the president Of congress. he said that
the Trenton location was not a good
one. Washington's letter had the ef-
feet Of Withholding the appropriation
OF $50 900, for which the commissioners
asked. The sectional feeling grew apace
and caused Washington much distress.
