Mind and HereditY.

Although the many cited cases appear to be against the theory of transmitted intellect, the history of the Cooper and Hewitt families appears to prove that marked individuality and strength of mind are sometimes inherited. Thus
 Peter Cooper Hewitt, grandson of the great Peter Cooper, and son of Abram s. Hewitt, who died this week, has achieved international fame as an electrical inventor. His new vacuum mercury light, which was shown in LondCa a few days ago, is pronounced one of the most important discoveries since the invention of the incandesceat light. And almost at the same time came the news that his sister, Sarah Cooper Hewitt, is to be appointed an 'Officier a. academic in Paris in recog- milton of her valuable services in pro noting French interests in New York.

Senator Beverldge,s Probity.

Senator Beveridge does not propose to get within arms reach of the tempter. The Boston Transcript in- forms us that the action of Senator Beveridge Of Indiana in returning to the company five hundred shares Of copper stock sent him as a compli ment is not sudden splurge of virtue for campaign purposes only, but is consistent with the young statesman's invariable rule of conduct. He accepts no railroad passes, telegraph franks or other complimentary" gifts. In other words, he is sensitive as to his respon- abilities in office. His case is rare enough to make it worth noticing"
 And yet, although Senator Beveridge is undoubtedly a very great and very good man, we know statesmen who are not nearly so pious whom we should trust just as unreservedly.

A New Grain in the Northwest.

The subjoined dispatch, dated, Ia coma and appearing in the New York Sun, gives some interesting information concerning the new grain of Washing ton of which some vague reports have been heard from time to time:
 A new grain, now known as corn wheat, is being successfully grown in eastern Washington. It has the nature of both corn and wheat. possessing the fattening qualities of corn and the corn flavor. Tn appearance it re- sembles wheat. Its grains are twice as large as those of ordinary wheat. IL yields sixty to one hundred bushels an acre and seems to solve the problem of fattening hogs in the Pacific north west; corn is not successfully raised in this country.
 Wheat growers at Moscow, Idaho, first introduced corn wheat four years ago. The entire production has since been taken for seed. Farmers gener- ally are now raising the new grain and going into hog raising. As a result de- creased shipments of packing house products from eastern states are al- ready noticeable

4 WE'LL GROUNDED PROTEST.

A circular has been issued from the headquarters of the American Humane association, calling public attention to a bill which has already passed the national house O. representatives and is now pending in the senate.
 This bill lamends the present law by extending from 2S to 40 hours the length of time for which live stock may be confined in cars without food, water or rest.
 The Humane association protests against the proposed change not only because of it's inhumanity, but also on account of the positive danger to public health which arises from the sale of animals for food, when their condition at the time of their being slaughtered is such as to make them positively unfit for food uses.
 As the present law provides that when animals are carried in cars in which they can and do have proper food, water, space and opportunity to rest, the provision in regard to their being unlOaded shall net apply" it would seem that there is no good req son for changing it's provisions. and We do not believe that public scnti- mert will approve the relaxing nr. re- strictions that have been proven to be necessary by countless cases Of gross cruelty and wanton indifference to the interests of the public in the matter of healthful food.-Colorado Springs Ga Zette

The Latest Achievement of Wireless
 Te!egraphy.

The most remarkable chess game ever played was pulled off a few days ago, when by means of wireless teleg raphy there was a bout between players on the steamer Lucania and the steamer Philadelphia, in mid-ocean. According to the official logs, the Phil adelphia was nineteen miles ahead of the Lucania when the game began, and the beats were forty-nine miles apar5. on an airline. AS moves were made they were telegraphed to the players on the opposing ship, and the game pre- ceeded without a hitch to the finish It is announced that the Lucania is to be equipped at once with apparatus for publishing the wireless news paper" mention of which was made in these columns a few days ago.
 However, the greatest achievement in wireless telegraphy to date was made on Monday of this week. when lengthy telegrams of congratulation were exchanged between President Roosevelt and King Edward of Eng land, the communications being be- tween Marconi's Cape Cod station on this side and the Cornwall station OH the other. The distance covered was more than three thousand miles.
 MarcOni announces that on account of necessary improvements at his sta tion at Poldhu (CornwaHD it may b, several weeks before he is ready tI accept commercial messages between the United States and England.

LAST year there was no hard coal
at all, SO to speak. while this year it is
claimed that the output has broken all
records and the companies which Mr..
Baer knows monkey with the output,
the prices, etc., will restrict the out
put and keep up prices. It wont do to
get too much hard coal above ground
and on the market as the consumers
would be getting few of the benefits
OF the liberal supply. This is one phase
of our industrial system. There are
others too numerous to mention. The
General Electric company at Lynn
Mass, has discharged 5000 employees
because there has been an overproduc
ton in some departments and under
consumption. This branch of industry
is a trust, also. There are others.
