Odd Things About Money

are being made every month and
shipped to Shanghai. The coins are
officially known as the 10-cash coins,
corresponding to our American 1-cent
pieces. One hundred of these coins
weight slightly over twenty-fouf
ounces and a pound and a half cop
per costs only 10 to 20 cents. No
great amount of power is needed to
convert the copper into coin and plenty
of labor can be had at from 81 to SS
gold month.
According to Chinese computation,
the pound and a half of copper in
money is worth abont SLIP Mexican
or so cents in gold. While issued at
the mints for 80 cents to one Mexi-
can dollar, so great is the demand for
these copper ccins among the Chinese
that they pass current among the
people for from 95 to 81 cents. A
new mint with an output Of 100000
of these coiLs day will start up IN
Hangchau this month. The new coins
are not only driving gold cash out of
circulation, but will have to be reck-
oned with when a new monetary sys-
tenn is made for the Chinese empire.

During the motor boat races" said
an American, there was great as
semblage of celebrities at Monte

"Sir Alfred Harmsworth. the Eng

Monte Carlo on Russian dishes at the
famous Citro's. He had come from
Marseilles in a new ninety-horse-power
automobile, and Giro was now explain
ing to him his Russian dishes, a new
city that Monte Carlo had welcomed
heartily.
"Sir Alfred helped himself to a Rus

"'This is good he said, but have
you any kvass?'
''Kvass? Indeed, yes,' said Giro.
'I1l have some kvass, then,' said
Sir Alfred. Some kvass, with plenty
of Caucasus cabbage in it.
But when the pale kvass came 1t

Disease and the Microb be

I am tempted to ask the reader
merely to believe, because I say so,
that the destruction of disease germs
is possible.
OF course l don't mean to assert
that we are yet in possession of
knowledge sufficient for our purpose,
even supposing that mankind had set
itself on the determination of disease
microbes, says C. w. Saleeby, M. D.,
in Harper's Weekly. For absolute
success we must know much more
than we do. In the case of malaria
our knowledge is practically perfect
We know the life history of the mi
crobe from the cradle to the grave,
so to speak, and therefore we can ex-
terminate it whenever the public of
the planet gives the word. On the
other hand, we have not yet discover
ed the microbes of many diseases,
such as measles and whooping cough
and mumps, and even a "cold in the
head" But these are mere matters
of time. Similarly. we must recog-
nize that microbes go through mil
lions of generations when other crea-
lures go through one. At the end of
twenty-four hours microbe may nave
grandchildren with "great-great" add
ed on. Therefore they can vary very

planted to the United States by the
fortunes of war. The Turner societies
aroused some antagonism, based on
the specious claim that they were an
attempt to create state within a
state and to keep the Germans apart
from the life around them. This con-
tention was magnificently shattered a
little more than a decade after the
first Turner's were organized in this
country. When the civil war began,
these German citizens of the United
States volunteered in such numbers
that in New York a Turner regiment
was enlisted and sent to the front
under Col. Max Weber The Ninth
Ohio was another regiment of Turner's
from Cincinnati, and in Philadelphia
and st. Louis Turner's filled the ranks
of regiments which did not have the
distinctive name.
Gen. Seigel commanded several
thousand Turner's in his forces and
was their idol. for he had been a
leader of the Turnerbund in his own
land and was one of the fighting re-
volutionary commanders who led his
army into Switzerland and there dis.
banded it after the cause was lost.

Business men throughout Canada
are disturbed at the preponderance of
American coins in trade circles. Ways
and means are being sought to ex-
clude American silver coins as far as
possible from business channels. The
Canadian Bankers association has
proposed to the Canadian government
that it reimburse the banks for the
charges of shipping American SILVER
back to the United States, the banks
at the same time to take an equiva-
lent amount of Canadian silver. There
has been no disposition to refuse
American bills, for the balance of
trade is heavily in favor of the Unit
ed States and the bills are accepted
at par by the banks for shipment to
correspondents throughout the United
States.

That the people of this country
are realizing the truth OF this
statement from the executive head
of the nation is quite evident from
the continuous increase of tourists
every year, and on account of the
Epworth League, Grand Army En-
campment and various other gath
erings that will meet here this
summer, Denver will be taxed to
the limit of its great capacity to
furnish Accommodations for the Wis
itors who will be here to enjoy the
cool and balmy breeze of the Rock
les and view the sceneries of
grandeur as well as to witness the
splendor of the many attractions
and outings.
There will be many thousand
colored visitors among the vast
throng and the colored citizens of
Denver have already placed many
cards of attractions on the calendar
and as usual THE COLORADO
STATESMAN will eclipse all outings
that will be given during the sea-
son with it's ninth annual picnic
at Rocky Mountain Lake Thurs
day, July 13.
This event is looked upon as an
nual holiday by the people of Den
yer and surrounding country and
it goes without saying that none
will be disappointed for enjoyment.
The large lake will be the scene of
many boats filled with those who
seek an outing upon the deep; the
great erea of blue glass shaded
with huge trees; the many ham,
mocks and swings; the croquet
grounds, the arena for field sports
and the large dancing pavillian
will furnish abundance of pleas
ure for the great throng of people
that will be present.
We greatly appreciate the fact
that the citizens of Denver join us
in our annual outing and help
make it pleasant for visitors and
strangers.

The City in the Sea

Lo. death has reared himself a throne
In "a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim west
Whers the good and the bad and the
worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest
Their shrines and palaces and towers
(Time-eaten towers that tremble noD
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie
No rays from the holy heaven come down
On the long night time of that town;
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently.
Cleans up the pinnacles far and free;
Up domes, up spires, up kingly halls,
Up fanes, up Babylon-lilxe walls.
Up shadowy long forgotten bowers
or sculptured ivy and stone flowers
Up many and many marvellous shrine
Whose wreathed friezes interwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air.

quickly. And we know that certain
conditions may cause innocent mi
crobes SO to vary, after few thou
sands of generations (taking next to
no time), that they become harmful
All this question must be investi-
gated on even a wider sca,c than at
present; SO that we may be able to
kill all the microbes that are even po-
tentially dangerous, or else modify
them so that they are dangerous only
to creatures which are dangerous to
us. An instance of this is already
furnished in a sense, by the plague.
The microbe of mis- disease-the ba-
cillus pestis-discovered ten years
ago by the great japanese bacteriolo-
gist Xitasato, is mainly conveyed
from place to place by rats, which die
even more readily than man of this
terrible disease. Therefore man has
declared war on the unfortunate rat,
his co-victim.
AS disease gradually diminishes
upon the earth, with the disappear
ance of its chief cause, certain great
changes will occur in human life Its
average length will be greatly in
creased-certainly by several decades
for microbes shorten the life of
every one of us, even when we die of
so-called "old age"

There is nothing in the present
political situation to call for an ac-
tive or noisy campaign. 1t is on
ly essential that the Republican
organizations and press keep in
touch with the people upon topics
of current political interest. 1t
may annoy the Democrats to know
that the Republican press, the
sentinels of the party, are on the
alert and keeping the army inform
ed of the moves of TIE enemy.
1t is not to be expected that the
Democratic bosses will approve of
this viligance, but they will have
to endure it just the same. A
calm, fair and unimpassioned dis
cussion of public questions is al
ways in order. If public interest
is to be kept alive to public needs
it is absolutely necessary that this
course be prusued.

While from proud tower In the town
Death looks gigantically down.
There open fanes and gaping graves
Yawn level with the luminous waves;
But not the riches there that lie
In each idols diamond eye
Not the gayly-jeweled dead,
Tempt the waters from their bed;
For no ripples curl, alas.
Along that wilderness of glass;
No swellings tell that winds may be
Upon some far-off happier sea;
No heavings hint that winds have been
On seas less hideously serene.
But 10. a stir Is in the airl
The wave-there is a movement there!
AS If the towers had thrust aside,
In slightly sinking, the dull tide;
AS if their tops had feebly given
A void within the filmy heavenl
The waves have now. redder glow,
The hours are breathing faint and low;
And when. amid no earthly means,
Down. down that town shall settle hence
Hell. rising from a thousand thrones,
Shall do it reverence.

Municipal ownership is a local,
not state question. Each town
must decide for itself whether or
not it wants to buy and operate its
public utilities. The Democratic
leaders are going to have a diff
cult time stirring up any interest
in this question among farmers,
mineas & others who do not live in
large town or cities. They all be-
ieve in home rule and are entire
ly willing to let the municipalities
spend their own money as they
deem best.
The Colorado statesman., 1905-06-24

The Republican party believes
in home rule. The question OF
ownership of public utilities is one
for the taxpayers of the munich
palities to settle as citizens. 1t is
not a question for state politicians
to play with for political advan-
tage.

PercivaI Lowell of Massachusetts In

Important Discoveries From
Recent Observations
Special to The Herald.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 17.-It is an
nounced at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology that Prof. Percival
Lowell, nonresident professor of as
tronomy, had obtained in ire last oppo-
sition of the planet Mars photographs
which conform strikingly to the de-
tails of markings, particularly the
"canals" observed and drawn by Prof.
Lowell with the telescope and described
by him in publications.
Heretofore the discussion concerning
the details and actual extent of the So
called canals has been complicated with
the personal equation of the observer.
Prof. Lowell's theory, based on several
years observation at Flagstaff, Ariz.,
where he had the clearest atmosphere
and Bess glasses, is that these mark
ings are irrigating canals. That they
contain water apparently is proved by
the fact that in springtime their edges
take on a green tinge, as of the ver-
dure of the river banks.

haps fatally, in an accident to the
north-bound passenger train on the
Cheyenne & Northern railroad and
Colorado & Southern branch line at
10:30 a. m. today near Horse creek,
thirty-five miles north of Cheyenne.
The train was rounding a curve when
the smoker and day coach left the rails
and rolled down the embankment, a
distance of about twenty feet. The
locomotive and baggage car had passed
over the weak spot in the track in
safety.
Many of the unfortunate passengers
were pinned under seats and in the
wreckage and their cries were pitiful
The more seriously injured are:
Miss Clara Hinsky, back injured and
probably a fracture of the skull; George

injured internally; j. II. Burns,
Cheyenne &, Northern railroad, injured
Internally and in back and side; j. T.
Lowery of Cheyenne, United States

badly bruised.
The seriously injured were brought
to Cheyenne in a special train and were
taken to st. Johns hospital this after
noon. There were less than fifty pas
sengers in the two cars and few of
them escaped unhurt Many of the in
jured were Greek laborers who were
in the smoking car.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-An explosion
in the basement of the Flatiron build
ing, Twenty-third street and Broad
way, caused something of a panic in
the building and much excitement in
the neighborhood last evening. Two
employees received injuries.
At the minute OF the explosion all
the lights in the huge structure went
out, adding to the confusion of those
inside, who rushed for elevators and
stairways and made their way to the
street
The blowing out of a boiler tube in
the basement, two stories below
the street, filled the boiler room with
steam, scalding two men seriously and
others badly.
firemen could not see their way to the
door. Every minute was full of agony,
as the scalding steam enveloped the
men. Their screams startled the
walters and patrons on the floor over
head the basement just below the side
walk Finally the firemen traced the
explosion to the boiler room, the door
of which was closed. The door was
opened and in the face of dense steam
made their way inside as several men
staggered out.
On the floor near the door were lying
unconscious Richard Haley and Alfred
LOTUS. They were removed to a hos
pital, where is was said they would
probably recover.
Several firemen were burned by
steam, but not seriously.

ACTION OF STRIKERS
is ADJUDGED UNLAWFUL
INJUNCTION AGAINST PRINTERS
IN CHICAGO SUSTAINED
Judge HoIdom in the Superior Court
Declares Effort to Force on the
Employers the Closed Shop and the
Eight-Hour Day Is Illegal
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE injunction
issued last week restraining the mem
bers of Typographical Union No. 1f
from interfering with the firms COM
posing the Chicago Typothetae during
the present strike Of the union printers
by means of pickets or otherwise, was
sustained today by Judge Holdom In
the superior court In a decision which
classes the action of the members OF
the Typographical union to force a
contract for an eight hour day and for
closed shop upon the employers, as
unlawful.
In speaking of the demand for con-
tract for a closed shop and an eight
hour day, which brought about the
present trouble between the union and
the printing concerns, Judge Holdorn
said:
1.-THE foundation of the strike in this
case is the union contract demanding a
closed shop and an eight-hour day.
Both the closed shop and eight-hour
day are unlawful when it is attempted
to force an employer to enter it against
his will"
The injunction, as it stands, re-
strains the union and it's members from
interfering with the business of or
employees of complainant firms, either
by attempting to dissuade the en-
ployers from working or from sending
out circulars to the customers of the
firms asking them to boycott the strike
bound houses.
