CURRENT COMMENT.

The Dallas (Tex.) News Dem) says:
Where a dozen Texas papers sup
ported Mr.. Bryan ably before, only
one considers him a possibility now.
The conditions are even less favora Bile
in other states which he must carry
to win."
The Hartford Comm Times (Dem)
says: Those newspapers are serious
ly in error which assert, for political
effect, that there was any lack of de-
sire or purpose on the part of the last
Democratic administration to enforce
the laws against trusts The facts
show that President Cleveland and
Messrs. Olney and Harmon, his Attor-
ney Generals, performed their full duty
in that regard"
The st. Louis Republic (Dem.) says:
''Let the prevailing Democratic motives
be concession and unihcation. Let
Democrats take the broadest view of
the situation. Ii is a churlish and un-
toward spirit, indeed, which can re-
sist the appeal for liberality and pa
triotlsm as against mere factionalism

conditions, a perverse human nature
which can submit TO narrow restraints:
niggardly human nature which could
supinely tolerate the ugly prospect OF

rmE EVOLUTION OF sPonrs.

There is held annually in New York.
in Madison Square Garden. Sports
mans Show. at which is exhibited ap-
paratus and equipments for hunting,
fishing. trapping. boating. etc. In for
mer years the Garden" which is as
much unlike a garden as anything on
the face of the earth. has been trans
formed into a semblance of outdoor
scenes with artificial lakes whereon
have fioated canoes, sink-boxes. duck
boats, houseboats and the like. and ar
tificial woods wherein have been pitched
model hunters camps. An atmosphere
of real sporting life has been given to
the scene by the presence of hunting
dogs. real Indian trappers. guides from
Maine and Pennsylvania and Michigan.
In such show, by a stretch of imagi-
nation. one could transport himself in
two minutes from Madison Square into
the wilds of the forest and revel in the
pleasures that are to be found only
close to nature. There were gentlemen
who visited the Sportsman's Show to
discuss the fine points of settlers, point
ers and hounds; to look at the newest
things in rods and reels, to tie their
own flies and engage in spirited con-
tests at fly casting; to swap stories of
brook and mountain trout, or tell of the
fornia. Lovers of the water dilated
upon the fine points of sneak-boats ana
of wooden or canvas stool ducks, or
of the relative advantages of live and
cut bait.
It seems, however. that the day of the
Sportsman's Show of the kind referred
TO is passed. In the show of this year
the Indians and guides were missing,
the dogs and canoes were few and far
between, rods and reels and flies were
of small consideration, the guns re-
ceived not the attention given them
formerly. Sporting paraphernalia was
there. to be sure, but it had not first
place. The minds of the people seem
bent now upon something with which
to reduce speed, and as motor boats"
are now the fad, these boats were the
center of attraction. The boats with
SlhdlleSt ulSpldCeHleHI, largest nOrSe-
power and greatest speed We're centers
of attraction. The man who next sum-
mer takes his recreation on the water
will not pay much attention to his
hooks and bait, but will have to be an
expert in carburetters and sparkling
mechanisms. The most expert sailor
will not be the man who can sail closest
to the wind and bring his craft about in
the least possible time but the man
who can get the greatest number of
revolutions out of the engines in a
given space of time.
A departure in firearms, and a re-
grettable one. was noticed. Some of the
newest sporting guns were of auto
matte, rapid-fire models. One shotgun
was guaranteed to discharge six shots
in three seconds-a murderous weapon!
What chance for life would a covey of
partridges have before such a gun in
the hands of an expert but heartless
marksman? Our game birds have
hard enough time of it now, under the
most favorable circumstances. Are we
approaching a period in which nothing
but the greatest possible speed and the
greatest possible slaughter will satisfy
our "SDOrtsmen?

A THIRTY-MIIE GIN.

There is being built at Reading, Pa,
a piece of ordnance which, it is claim
ed, will be of the highest efficiency
ever turned out of an arsenal. It is a
wire-wound gun, and will have the
ability to throw a projectile thirty
miles. That, however, is not to be its
fighting range. 1t is comparatively a
small gun, being of siX-inch calibre.
With the ability to carry so far, it
with as much accuracy and rapidity
of fire as guns of the older patterns,
thus making it most terrible weapon.
The trajectory of the projectile being
flatter than that of the older guns, it
can be aimed with more precision, and
the penetrating power being much in
creased, it is expected that the impact
of it's projectile will always be at
tended with most positive results.
The greater power of the new gun, it
is claimed, is derived from the fact
that it is wound with steel wires drawn
to a tension of 125,000 pounds per
square inch, over which a steel jacket
is shrunk. The great strength of the
chamber permits of the use of very
large charges of the most powerful
explosives.
1t is to be observed that the trend of
gun making is away from the very
large calibres. Some few years ago
Congress appropriated several hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for some
sixteen-inch guns, to be mounted in
the harbor defenses of the principal
cities. Only one gun of the kind was
ever built. and it is at Sandy Hook.
This gun is supposed to have a range
of about twenty miles, or two-thirds
the range Of the six-inch gun men
toned above. Before the monster six
teen-inch had been mounted it was
practically obsolete, and the govern
ment has abandoned the idea Of con-
sttucting others like it.
All modern warfare has tended to
discourage the employment of large
calibre, slow-firing pieces. At the ma
val battle of Santiago not one Of the
twelve-inch guns made a hit, and
there was only one hit from a ten-inch
gun. The greatest execution was
done with eight-inch and six-inch
pieces of heavy ordnance and six
Founders of the rapid-fire class. The
effective range, or rather the range at
which accuracy of fire can be depend
ed on, is about the same for six and
eight-inch guns as for ten and twelve
inch guns. and the smaller calibres can
be handled much more rapidly than
the large. II the wlre-wound gun is
able 10 do what is claimed for II. the
day Of the ten and twelve-inch gun
is over. and our battleships will be
armed with six and eight-inch pieces
In their main batteries.

Fable of the Love-sick King.

And there was certain great King
who lay dying of grief, for her he
loved was gone from him forever, says
the Smart Set. All day long he lay
On his couch of rose leaves, and court
iers washed away the tears, and pour
ed them from golden vases on the
grave of the one he loved.
And the focks died, and the peas
ants starved, for it was decreed that
none should do else but weep for the
dead And, the nation being near unto
ruin, the wise ones held counsel, but
no relief could they find for their des-
perate need; till at length spoke an
humble shepherd, saying:
"In the valley where my sheep wan
der and eat the sweet young grass and
the tender herbs, a certain great ply
sician dwells. 1 pray he be brought
that he cure the King"
Now, though hope was small, cour-
iers Travelled swiftly the wild noun
tains, where the brooks sing always
and are clear as a maiden's eye, and
the rocks pierce the earth like battle
ments of giant castles hidden below
till at length they came to the physi-
clan, and, when he had heard their
tale, he washed his hands and went
straightway with them.
And, when the Physician had arrived
at the court of the King, the people
fell on their knees and begged him
to save them from destruction.
Then the Physician said "Oh, King,
put by thy grief"
And the King said: "It may not
be, for the one I love is dead"
Put by thy grief" the Physician
said, land thou shalt see the one thou
lowest"
And the King sprang up, and the
Physician commanded a certain great
mirror to be brought and ordered the
King to look therein.
And the King gazed, and behold! it
was himself he saw.

prDLIc SCHOOL EDUCATION.

A correspondent of the New York
Times, criticising the trend in mod
ern public school education. contends
that too much attention is being given
to non-essentials, at the expense OF
the essentials for the foundation OF
an education. II is not the business
of the commonwealth. through the me-
dunn of the public schools, TO give
pupils a higher education. When a
child has become firmly grounded in
the essential elementary branches at
the expense of the commonwealth, then
the commonwealth has discharged its
full duty, and If the parents OF the
child desire it to have a higher edu-
cation. they should pay for it. The
people, the taxpayers, should not be
called upon to bear the expense. The
Times correspondent objects TO for
eign languages, higher mathematics
and some of the various sorts of "olo-
gies" in the curriculum OF the public
school What is wanted is a closer
attention to the three RS and the
homely but needful studies that should
accompany them. to fit the growing
generations who must go from the
schools into the ordinary walks of life
for what is ahead of them.
The higher education. the Times
correspondent says, is precisely what
makes many young men less valuable
as clerks than the men who have had
the three RS ground into them. They
want to commence at the top. instead
of at the bottom. They are too old
when they acquire this education to
learn the business at the bottom and
work up This is the cause of so
many failures in business-confidenc
in their own ability to master it with
out having learned it. After a short
time in business and sinking the
money of father or a friend, failure
comes. Why? His higher education
and his age when he left school filed
him with pride and he would not
to commence at the foot"
The value of higher education, to
those who can afford it, cannot be
overestimated. At the same time, the
fact remains that the primary. COM
mon school education is all that ma
jority of the children of the country
can hope for. The majority must fill
the ordinary places of life. 1t is, then,
good policy to give them as much
solid mental food as possible in such
manner that they will digest it well
and receive full benefit from IL.

ELECTRICAL PROGRESS.

The Electrical World and Engineer,
a technical journal, recently celebrated
its thirtieth anniversary, and in COM
memoration thereof published a review
of the progress of electricity since the
journals establishment. In view of
the position occupied by electricity in
modern life and enterprise, it seems
almost marvellous that Its develop
ment has been almost wholly within
half a century. and about ninety per
cent. OF 1t in the last twenty-five
years. The telephone was exhibited as
a marvel of science at the Philadel-
phia centennial, and set the whole
world agog. In 1877 the instrument
was first publicly or commercially en-
ployed. Now telephones in daily use
number millions, and every small child
is familiar with the instrument. From
being a scientific marvel, it has be-
come a business and household neces-
sity. In 1879 the first arc lights were
set up and lighted for service in the
ming the principle proved a success,
and to-day 1t is in use, very slightly
modified. A means has been found to
lengthen the life of the carbon PEN
cils and make the light steadier and
more dependable. but the principle re-
mains the same. The incandescent
lamp, on which Mr.. Edison had been
at work for two or three years, was
first commercially used in 1882. At
the present time more than 100000 900
of these lights burn nightly in the
United States alone, and the brilliant
little bulbs are to be found glowing
in all quarters of the world. The in
candescent lamps in use to-day require
only about half the current of those
of 1882 and the life of them is about
twice as long.
Traction came next after telephony
and lighting. Dynamos were already
In use. The motor is said to have
been discovered accidentally. Two dy-
namos had been connected with wire.
One of them was started up before
the connection had been broken. The
engineer in charge of them was sur
prised to see the second dynamo spin
ming along in harmony with the first.
1t was then discovered that a motor
was merely dynamo reversed, and
the experts were quick to take advan-
tage of the discovery. Following came
the attachment of the motor to street
cars and other vehicles, and it's en-
ployment in mills and factories for the
direct transmission of power to sets
of machines. BY means of the motor,
rapid transit has been secured, and
very much greater economy is possi-
BILE in the operation of manufacturing
establishments. Yet twenty-five years
ago the motor was unknown. To-day
it could hardly be dispensed with.
In addition to the foregoing we have
electrical heating electrical cooking,
wireless telegraphy, quadruple teleg-
raphy, etc. In a hundred and one
ways the mysterious current is en-
ployed, In quite a matter of fact way.
All, or practically all. of this in the
short space of quarter of a century,
Having made this beginning, what new
wonders shall we see accomplished in
the next quarter of a century? For

proprietor agreed to take two Dozen
and when the farmer came to count
over the contents of his basket, he
found that he had twenty-five eggs.
The proprietor wanted the extra egg
thrown in for good measure. The farm
er didn't see il that way and they ar
gued the matter. At last the proprie-
tor said he'd take the twenty-five eggs,
