Mon Are Inferior to Cats.

There are several points in which
man is inferior to the cat The cat,
for one thing, has no vermiform ap-
pendix. and consequently never suffers
from appendicitis. Furthermore, while
man has chosen to be a nocturnal as
we'll as a diurnal creature he has only
the diurnal vision; whereas the cat,
devoting Its days to civilization and
its nights to barbarism," can see in the
dark as well as in the light. having
patent adjustable eye.

them have to be taken in order to get

Progress of American Press.

In addition to its other distinctions
the year 1904 marks the completion Of
two centuries since the first American
newspaper was started, says Leslie's
Weekly. That paper was the Boston
News Letter, whose publisher and
editor was the postmaster of that
town. Although the News Letter con.
sisted Of sheet Of only inches by
1Oh, printed on both sides, it was the
only paper that Englands colonies in
the new world had for over a decade
and half. Philadelphia got the Sec
ond paper established in America and
New York got the third. All these
were technically weeklies, but often
In the early days there were intervals
of two or three weeks between their
successive appearances. The first
daily paper In the new world was the
American Daily Advertiser, printed in
Philadelphia. After nearly Il century
had elapsed since the first newspaper
appeared on this cOntinent-Or in 1860
there were only fifteen dailies and
100 weeklies in the United States.
The contrast between those days
and to-day is striking. There are o.
600 newspapers and periodicals Of all
sOrts-weeklies, semi-weeklies, tri-
weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies-
published in the United States in 1904,
OF which 2,4OO are dailies and 10000
weeklies. Any one or two or three
OF New York's daily papers Of 1904
has larger circulation than did all
the daily ard weekly papers published
In the United States in 1904.

FIXING HIGH NOON At SEA.
Wireless TeleHraphy Expected Soon t.
Overcome the Difficulty.

Wireless TeleGraphy Expected Soon to
Overcome the Difficulty.
The most momentous Improvement
in navigation since the invention Of
the chronOmeter. more than 40 years
ago, has just been foreshadowed in a
modest paragraph in the report of the
chief Of the bureau of equipment OF
the United States navy.
1T is believed" says Chief Man
ney, "that the development of wire
less telegraphy will enable these (time)
signals to be distributed over water as
well as over land, and that before long
every ship at sea. in addition to every
land station, will receive daily noon
signals from the standard observatory
clock"
What does that mean Nothing less
than the elimination Of the last ele
ment of uncertainty from the problem
of finding the position Of ship at
sea. Hitherto the one weak point in
navigation has been the difficulty of
carrying standard time on voyage.
Observations for local time as well
as for latitude have been exact, but
the comparison of local standard time
for obtaining the longitude has In.
volved a certain amount of guess work.
The best chronometer is not quite in
fallible, and some allowance, which
may not be precisely right, has always
to be made for errors.
But with time signals received from
q national observatory every day at
noon the mariner will know his way
over any part of the wide ocean as ac-
curately as If he were threading a
buoyed channel. The chrOnometer
will join the cross-staY and the astrO-
labe on the junk heap Of discarded
makeshifts.
And Of course ship that can COM
municate with the shore for one pur-
pose is equally in touch with the world
for any other communication it needs
to make,
