CURRENT COMMENT.

The Dublin (Ga) Courier Dispatch
says: IF the government establishes
a sub-treasury in the South. Savannah
is the city that ought to have it. The
people of, that city were the first to be-
gin the agitation for a sub-treasury,
and one there would subserve the in
terests of more people than one in At
lanta. The banking capital of Savan-
nah is much greater than that of At
lanta Besides, Savannah is the farm
ers' market. and Atlanta is not"
The Houston (Tex) Post (Dem.)
says: THE present Congress is not a
popular Congress. There is good Dem
ocratic material in it, but the Repub-
licsn majority has not distinguished
itself Legislation for the benefit of
the classes at the expense of the masses
has been its sole occupation, with a
despotic gag rule to cut off debate. The
people know when they are not repre-
scented, but misrepresented. In that,
rather than in the precedents theory,
lies the surest ground upon which to
base predictions of Democratic vic
tory"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: 1.-The agents of the Beef Trust
loudly assert there is no Trust. There
is only community OF gran, SO SyS-
tematized as 10 Keep down the price

the Beef Trust has been sufficiently
potent to compel the great railways Of
the country to its service. and by a

A Washington newspaper is of the
opinion that lit would not be surpris-
ing if King Edward,if the deep and I'M
adulterated truth were known, looked
forward to this coronation business as
something of a bore" The Washing
ton paper evidently has not been read
ing great deal about Edward and the
coronation, otherwise it would have
noticed that he is insisting upon all the
frills and flounces and pomp and cere-
mony that can be possibly worked in
without making the thing too redicu-
lous for even Englishmen. He has
shown himself to be a stickler for the
ancient customs and ceremonies and
privileges. However. he should not be
blamed too much for wishing to re-
tain the paint and tinsel of his court.
That is about all there is left of
royalty in England.

An Indiana inventor claims to have
perfected a malleable glass that can
be shaped pretty much as iron is
shaped, and that can be shattered only
with extreme difficulty. He is confident
that it will spring into instant favor
as a building material, and that in col
ors 1t will make very striking inside
effects. With this material CONNER
cially available. those who live in glass
houses win not have to be so careful
how they throw stones.

A Paris cable says: Sarah Bern
hardt has signified her readiness to act
in French to Miss Maude Adams in
English in Romeo and Juliet. Then
the production will not be for the pur-
pose of presenting the play of Romeo
and Juliet" to an audience for the sake
of the dramatic story. but for the pur-
pose of showing Bernhardt and Adams
on the stage together. The idea of the
lovers going through their ardent pass
ages in different languages is strongly
suggestive of travesty.

President Roosevelt must find It very
interesting reading to note what the
broadcast and best of the Republican
newspapers are saying about the re-

upon the matter as a concession to the
pension sharks and a step backward

There is at least one thing that Lieut..
Gen. Miles is permitted to do by the
war office. and that is to design ard
revise the army uniforms. The bureau
chiefs will not let him go to the front
and win additional fame at the head
of troops, but they will let him have
all of the drawing paper and water
colors he may need to make tailors'
working fashion plates for trousers
and coats and caps with bullion braid
and brass buttons. Since his recent
rebuff in connection with Philippine
plan Of campaign, Gen. Miles has been
.devoting himself to the weighty prob
lem of what the soldiers shall wear
and how they shall wear it. A report
is looked for shortly. in which it will
be recommended that khaki be pro-
vided for all service uniforms, whether
in a warm climate or cool one, with
the blue to be used only on dress occa-
sions.

The Pittsburg Dispatch hears
through its Washington correspond
ence that President Roosevelt is plan
ming a little coup by which he pur-
poses to appropriate some Democratic
campaign material for his own use.
Col. Roosevelt is anxious to succeed
himself in the White House, and also
to have policy Of his own. The story
is that he intends sending to Congress,
after the approaching congressional
elections, a message strongly advising
tariff reductions on articles manufac-
tured by trusts. Then he may call a
special session of Congress TO enact in
to law his ideas respecting such re-
auctions. That would get the matter
before the country in time for the cam
paign of 1904.

To BaIpoE THE oREAT sALT LAkI


Southern Pacific Is About to Build q
Long Trestle Across It
One of the most remarkable tasks
Of railroad engineering undertaken in
the west in recent years is about to
be begun by the Southern Pacific in
Utah, says the New York Sun. For
the sake of saving four and a half
miles the railroad is about t build a
new line los miles long, and for part
of the way the road will run on a tim
Der trestle across the Great Salt Lake.
1t now runs around the northern end
of the lake over a route bothered by
many sharp curves and heavy grades.
The work will take three years to
complete. It calls for an expenditure
Of $4,000 0 a year. The most formid-
able part will be the building of the
trestle across the main body of the
lake, at a point where it is seven miles
across.
The lake bed Is comprised first Of q
layer Of find sand from six to thirty
inches in depth. Then comes a hard
stratum of soda formation from a foot
to eighteen inches thick and after that
sand and blue clay alternately for an
indefinite depth.
The road win be. built on piles
driven into this mass. The trestle
viii be built high enough to allow for
a rise of the water which at this
point is now about thirty feet deep.
It has been the experience on the
lake hitherto that sand tends to ac-
cumulate around driven piles. If this
should be repeated here the result will
be a Swallowing of the water and in
creased security along the road.
Besides saving time on the South
ern Pacific the construction of the line
will bring immense deposits of guano
on islands in Salt Lake within easy
reach Of a market.

fifteen or sixteen yards at normal tone

In his introduction to his fourth list
Of new double stars discovered and
measured with the S6-inch telescope
Of the Lick observatory, Prof. Aitken
gives the following statistics OF gem
eral interest. In his systematic search
for new double stars he has pointed
upon and examined 10000 stars. OF
these $50 had already been %catalogued
as double by earlier observers, but
only sos Of them were as close as s
seconds. In the stars examined Prof.
Aitken found 3O1 other double stars
all ~unrecorded and all less than 5
seconds in distance. It thus appears
that a systematic examination of. the
whole heavens on this plan would re-
suit in doubling the number Of double
stars now known. OF Prof. Athens
discoveries about 10 per cent have dis
tances exceeding 4 seconds. 20 per cent
have distances not exceeding 2 sec
onds, about 48 per cent have distances
not exceeding / second, about q per
cent have distances not exceeding u

lt may be said that the American
cold wave has no counterpart; that no

such oscillations In such short periods
Of TIME nor do the icy blasts sweep

a noteworthy fact that a high civiliza-

The Nature OF Nerve stimulation.
The complete theory of nerve stimu-
lation recently furnished by Professor
Mathews of the University Of Chicago
is ~concisely stated as follows: The ir-
~ritability Of nerve %protoplasm varies
inversely with the stability of the hy-
drosol state of its colloids. Stimula-
ton is collation., and is brought about
by negative electrical charges. Chem
ical stimulation is really an electrical
stimulation due to the charges the
ions bear. Negative charges stimu-
late, positive charges prevent stimu-
lation. The nerve impulse is due tc
a progressive precipitation Of colloids
by negative charges. the negative
charges being r~egenerated by the pre-
cipitation of each succeeding mass Of
colloids. The negative variation. in
other words, stimulates each succeed
ing segment of the nerve, and is re-
generated by the change it produces
in the colloids. A~naesthetics prevent
precipitation. It is not the v~alepce.
In ultimate analysis, which produces
stimulation, but the movement of the
charge, chemical solution being thus
Identical with stimulation by light.
