Dominican Revolutions.

There is probably no country of its
size which commands greater newspa-
per attention or is more often afilict-
cd with revolutionary outbreaks than
Santo Domingo, the little West In
dian Republic, adjacent to Haiti. In
fact, it is seldom that the Dominican
republic, except when in the turmoil
of an insurrection, such as is now in
progress, is heard of at all. When
quiet reigns, nothing happens that is
worth being chronicled, The coun-
try is best known for two reasons
because the remains of Columbus
were buried there, and on account of
its almost continual state of political
ferment.
Americans have searched for the
cause of these frequent armed out
breaks against the ever-changirg
government. They have been prin-
cipally attributed either.to the tenn
permanent of the people or,to the cli-
mate. But while the former is true,
the latter is a confounding of the
cause and effect. The perpetual sum-
mer of the tropics has rather the ef-
feet of making one lanquid: and lazy
than of breeding strenuosity. How
ever, it is the absence of cold wealth
er that makes it possible for the in
surrectionists to fight season in and
season out, sleep in the open, and sub
sist, If necessary, las 1t often ISL on
the fruit which grows in great varie-
ty and abundance in their country.
In the Dominican republic, revolu-
tions take the place of elections. Not
that the people are too impetuous to
permit president to complete his
tenure of four years. Nor is Wit be-
cause the conditions have ever been
improved as the result of victorious
campaign by some ultraI patriotic y
leader, actuated, ostensibly, by a
sense of duty to his country. Far
from it. I have watched for ten years
with political disinterestedness every
step made in the politics OF Santo DO
miugo, and if asked for brief sum-
ming up of the reasons for the many
uprisings that have taken place there
in that period, | could put it accurate

PEOPLE WIN VICTORY
eudge Dillon Holds That Railroads
Cannot Discriminate In Favor Of Big
Shippers, but All Must Be Treated
Alike,

A legal fight of the utmost public
Importance, especially to the small
shippers Of the state, is in progress in
the courts of Franklin county. ana
every independent shipper and receiv-
er of freight has been immensely
benefited by a decision Just handed
down by Judge E b. Dillon OF the
court Of common pleas at Columbus,
In the case of the Johnson Coal Min.
ing company against the Hooking Val.
ley Railway company.
The petition states that the coal
company Is an independent operator
and that 1t has been refused the right
to connect its mine switches and ship
coal over the Hooking Valley tracks
An Injunction against the unlawfui
discrimination is preyed for. II ap-
pears that the railway company has
acquired most Of the lands and GOAL
mines In the Hooking Valley GOAL field,
and as part OF its plan to monopolize
not only the transportation Of coal,
but the coal supply az we'll, II has re-
fused to afford transportation facilities
to independent operators some OF
whom have refused offers Of purchase
made by the railway company. After the
suit was filed the railway demurred
objectins 10 the petition on the ground
that the facts alleged did not warrant
relief from tie courts.
Judge Dillon's decision is q sweep.
ing victory net only for the coal com.
pany, but for every shipper who Is
erdeavoring to conduct his business
free from dictation by competitors and
railroad companies. who have in too
many cases combined 10 destroy com.
petition. In brief Judge Dillon said.
The doctrine upon which court ot equity
viii compel the acceptance OF freight or the
furnishing Of equal facilities bv common
carrier Is founded not 40 much upon the pure
ly private rights NJ tho individual as upon
the general rights and benefit Of the public

open the channels Of trade and 10 prevent
the building up Of favored private enterprises

Other pertinent extracts from judge
Dillon's opinion are:

One day a certain Professor of
Mathematics at o. University pre-
pared to set out on short journey on
horseback. He was an absent-mind-

problem. Some students stood near
and watched him abstractedly place
the saddle on hind-part-beforc.

the group, you are putting the wrong

strength of an Egg Shell.

Most people are aware of the power OF
egg shells to resist external pressure
on the ends, but not many would credit
the result Of tests recently made, which
appear TO be genuine, as recorded in the
Scientific American. Eight ordinary
hens eggs were submitted to pressure
applied externally all over the surface
OF the shell, and the breaking pressure
varied between 400 pounds and CTS
pounds per square inch. With the stress
applied internally to ~ eggs, these gave
way at pressures varying between 32
and 65 pounds per square inch. The
pressure required to crush the eggs
varied between 40 pounds and rs
pounds. The average thickness of the
shells was .O13 of an inch.

ANIMALS NEED SALT.
Farm stock, which IL Herbivereusv
Should he saitcd Regularly -
Insure Good Health.

Prof Shepperd, of North Dakota,
has been collecting data concerning the
much discussed question of whether
salt is essential to the health Of farm
animals. The following are some Of
the facts he has obtained:
Carniverous animals do not use salt,
the reason being that they eat the
blood with the food and the blood ton
tains the amount of salt necessary for
the system.
The Esquimaux Of Greenland do not
use salt because they live mostly on
seals and carefully plug up the wound
when a seal is killed SO as to prevent
the loss of blood. The blood contains
more salt than any other part of the
body.
Among the North American Indians
the hunting and fishing tribes did not
use salt. and for the same reason,
while the Indians practicing agricul.
ture along the Mississippi and In Mex
leo were salt consumers and fought
for the possession of the salt springs
Herbivorous animals universally re-
quire salt and will travel long dis
tances for it. The reason, according
to Prof. Shepherd Is that the cereals
and legumes upon which these animals
live contain very little salt, but a large
proportion of potash. Potash, or more
properly speaking, the salts or com.
binations of potash, drive out the
sodium chloride, or common salt,
through the kidneys, and hence an ad.
dition of common salt must be given
to supply the lack Of It in the food.
Blood, flesh and milk contain but lit.
tie of these potash salts, hence the
small need of salt when animals sub.
sist on either Of the above.
Men and animals living largely on
rice as a substitute for potatoes use
comparatively little salt, the reason
being that rice contains but little of
the salts of potash, and, therefore,
there is not demand among rice eat.
ers for common salt. Potatoes are
very rich in potash, and hence potato
eaters always want common salt. the
potash having tendency to drive
the small amount of common salt in
potatoes out of the system, and hence
surplus must be given. This is an
important suggestion to our readers
who have kidney trouble and who
would likely be relieved considerably
IL they were to abandon the use Of
potatoes and substitute rice.
The conclusion drawn is that all
animals that live on grains and
grasses should be regularly salted.
Salt given in excess acts as a sort of
poison, creating violent purging, but
given in small quantities is helpful to
diet and to all herbivorous animals.

itor continues his able argument in
the March number, showing what por-

his editorial in the front of the maya

First Laying of Ducks.

Our experience with ducks is that they
do not make any nests at the first laying
or early in the spring, and If it is desired
to get these eggs, the ducks must be
penned up every night, as they lay
very early in the morning. II run
ming out, they will lay In the brook
or wherever they may be. Later in the
summer some of them will make nests
and will probably get broody. Straw
or leaves or almost anything will serve
as material out of which to make nests.
