believe, no pretense that congress ever

But the moral obligation plea so

would consent to any sort of reciproc-

| products. Both Canada and the United

have much to gain by such reciprocity.

ing interests, favors reciprocity in
manufactures. Reciprocity in manu-.
features would virtually kill every
Canadian manufacturing industry.
Reciprocity of this kind, with a pref

Source of Nervous impulse.

The theory of Loeb and Matthews
that the V impulse, although it
brings in electricity, is far from re-
garding the transmission of that i'm
pulse as identical with a simple cleo
trical current. In a medical journal,
DR.. O'Brien advocates the old theory
that nervous current and electrical
current are identical, because, first,
electricity is always present when
nerves act; second, electricity is the
form Of force which would do the
work required; third, because the ter
minal and central m~echanisms o 4
nected with the nerves correspond to
the terminal and central mechanisms
connected with electrical system Of
communication, and do similar work
in sending, receiving, relaying, switch
ing, transforming, accommodating, re-
tarding, distributing and translating
impressions, and, fourth, because cleo
tricity, with such construction of con-
ductors and of terminal mecnanisms,
is the only form OF force we know Of
that would 90 all the work required.

scented an effort to lower the prices Of

voiced the sentiment of a non-pro-

Dolores, worn with watching and
faint from lack of food. fell asleep at
the doorway, and slept the whole
night through; the dawning had deep
ened to broad light when she walked.
She bathed her face with cool
water from the well and brushed her
soft hair back, winding it in a heavy
coil at the back of her head.
The table was set as she had left it
the day before, and when she hung the
kettle over the fire she took the pail
and went out to milk Brindle.
Lode came up for water; he hest
tated as he saw Dolores, but she rose
up bravely to meet him. She did not
speak, but her eyes asked him a ques-

In the following comment by the

there Is more of fact than is custom
airy in that newspapers discussion OF
tariff matters:
Cuba is reported to be losing in
terest in the adoption of reciprocity by
the United States. 1t is finding itself
able to get along very tolerably with
out reciprocity. One of the Mime
sofa congressman says the people OF
that state are becoming more and
more concerned about reciprocity with
Canada, but Canada's interest in reci-
procity, under repeated rebuffs from
the United States, has been declining
as interest on this side has been in
cr~easing."
1t is undoubtedly true that Cuba Is
caring less and less about reciprocity.
She never really cared very much
about it. The scheme of tying up
Cuba with a bargain that in the long
run was sure to be a bad one for her,

the arrangement. Havemeyer was.

They recognized its injustice to a

Had Johnson returned? they asked

Not that she had heard CT. she re-

they been searching for him?
Yes. they replied, they wanted john
son; he was summoned to appear In
the town in the Green case; 1t was
believed he could tell considerable
about the matter; should he not ap-
pear to-day, they must wait.
What If he were dead? she asked,
c~uriously; if he had fallen into some
one of the dangerous places on the
mountain?
If he were dead, they said-weii, If
he were dead that would put a differ
ent face upon the matter; they hoped
he was not dead, for the law should
not be bafied. Did she think he was
dead? Had she cause to think so?
No. she knew no reason why John
son should be dead unless he had
fallen in some of the dangerous places
on the mountain; they must know
this, for they had been there; for her
part she knew nothing about it save
from what she hoard those say who
had been there.

Closer fiscal union with the colonies
and the vital need Of discovering
means of protecting British interests
against inequitable competition" such
is and must be British policy. In these
circumstances is it to be for a moment
supposed that Canada, for the sake or
enriching the manufacturers OF the
United States, will enter into a reci-
procity arrangement that will stife
her own industries and at the same
time subject British interests to a still
more 'inequitable competition than
that which is now complained OF?
Such a proceeding on Canada's part is
cut of the question. That Is why Can.
ada is losing interest in the reciprocity
game. That is why the National Reel
procity league and its Minnesota
branch, that Is especially devoted to
the Canadian part of the project, are
wasting their time. All the facts and
conditions are against any general
| scheme of reciprocity between Canada
and the United States. There will be
reciprocity when Canada becomes an
integral part of the United States; not
before.

them to hold hard and mind their

The sun Makes Rooms Dusty.

There is more dust in the places H.
Illuminated by the suns rays than in
those which we call shady.
If you look along beam of light as
1t streams through window or a chink
III the door, you will see innumerable
dust PARTICLES dancing about in the
light. You will be told by most per
sons that there Is just as much dust in
the nonlluminated parts of the room
as in the more favored spaces, but you
cannot see the particles because the
rays do not fall directly upon them
You Will think that this is eminently
plausible, but it is not the case.
The sun falling upon the air creates
irregular currents, and these currents
stir up the dust and collect it in lay
ers along the line of light; hence there
is more dust where the sun shines than
elsewhere.
a curious experience in n museum
gave proof of this 1t was noticed that
there was always more dust on the
glass cases exposed to the sunh ans
than on those which were never touch
ed by the rays of the great orb, and
this led to nm inquiry, with the above
result.
