To take merely the resistance Of the
medium through which moving body
passes, it is found to increase as the
square of the velocity (and for very
rapidly moving bodies the increase is
even greater) thus becoming truly
formidabl at high rates of speed.
and thus to the man striving to reach
the top, where, as has been airly as
sured, there is always plenty of room,
the resistance to his ascent often seems
to increase at seXtuple rate as he
leaves the lower levels.
Consider the explorations in search
of passages to the poles.
Who can reckon the accumulated
loss in lives and treasure before the
Duke of AbruZZi'S lieutenant, Capt.
Cagni, was able to attain the farther
est north'' Sc degrees 33 min., in 1899?
NanSen had already reached sc deg.
min., but it took four more years of the
most strenuous effort to add those last
twentynine minutes of latitude to the
record. Who shall predict the cost of
the yet remaining three degrees and
twenty-seven minutes, or essay to fix
within a century or two the date of
their achievement?
Consider the price man has paid, is
still paying and always must pay, for
the proud privilege of standing at the
head of the terrestrial life. As Huxley
has well pointed out in his Evolution
and Ethics" pain is the baleful pro-
duct of evolution, and it increases
with advancing grades of animal Or
ganiZatiOn, until it attains its highest
level i'm man."
1t has often been remarked by the
hOmely philosopher that there is
mighty little difference in men the
world over, but what difference there
is is mighty important.
The success of the scientist of today
has been paid for, not only by years
of toll on his part but also by the
labors of generations of scientists be-
fore him.
The giant of learning stands on the
shoulders of his predecessors in the
strife for distinction, and all that they
accomplished is commonly lost sight
of in contemplating the final incre-
ment, however small, that he has ad
ded to the previous sum total of
achievement
Between succeeding and almost sue
ceeding the difference will always be
vast
The school would be a model Of de-
pertinent, thinks many a worried

OF VITAL IMPORTANCE.
Recommendation by Washington
Navy Yard Commandant.

The commandant of the Washington navy
yard, Can't. Leutze. has made a recon-
mendation to Acting Secretary Newberry
that may be of vital Importance to labor
organizations throughout the country, for
1t involves the right Of the unions to arbt-
trarily fix the maximum product OF each
workman for a day. To secure the full pos
sibilities of the plant at the Washington
gun foundry 1t is proposed to do one or two
things-either put the men on piece work
or to resort to what Is known in the manu-
featuring world as the premium SYSTEM"
That system is based on an admission of
the right OF the union to say what a work
man S maximum output shall be for a given
wage. but it permits the man to do more
work If he chooses to DO 50. receiving a
prdportionate increase in pay. 1t Is urged
that the result Is to stimulate the men to
greater production and to afford fair OPP
portunity for the ambitious workmen.
The labor unions. represented at the
Washington yard have asked for an oppor-
tunity to be heard on these propositions.
and Acting Secretary Newberry has as
Sented.

NOTICE TO THE BANKS.
Secretary Shaw's Statement Regard
ing Deposit Of Funds.

The Secretary Of the Treasury this after
noon authorized the following statement:
"a large number of banks have asked to
be designated depositaries of public money
To these the Secretary has made the uni
versal offer to leave with the bank one
third of the proceeds Of any Panama bonds
1t may buy under bid direct from the gov
eminent. taking purchased bonds at par as
security therefor These offers have been
in the main. to small banks. He now makes
the offer general. but limits the amount of
such deposits to any one bank to s., 100000.
The Secretary calls attention to the cir
cular invitation for bids wherein the gov
eminent reserves the right to permit bid
ders offering the highest prices to increase
the amount of their purchases. This reser-
walton, the Secretary says, was made to
avoid the possibility of combination be-
tween bidders, and will not be exercised to
the pI ejudice of any one who has bid above

CROP REPORT.
Twenty-Five New Crops Included in
the List

This month for the first time the Crop
Reporter, the little periodical gotten out
by the Department of Agriculture. con-
tanned much-extended list of STAPLE
crops reported by the departments
correspondents. There were TWENTY-FIVE
new crops included in the list. This
may be somewhat extended or a little
reduced in the succeeding months but
as 1t stands represents almost doubling
the scope of the bureau that deals with
This particular branch of the service
Mr.. Olmstead. the chief of the statis-
teal bureau has wanted to take in the
new crops for some time. but 1t was
thought that the appropriation would
not permit it, However, by squeezing in
some extra work the whole thing was
managed at very little additional expense.
The new staples reported on are hemp
broom corn, kafr corn. sugar cane pas
grass, mtllet, hops, sugar beets, Canadian
peas. cowpeas. beans. cabbages, onions.
tomatoes. lemons. oranges. blackberries,
raspberries. Strawberries, cantaloupes and
peanuts.
Some of these crops have been repeatedly
asked for by the dealers. and the DEPART
ment is at least able to comply with their
requests. For instance, onions are a very
important crop. but there has never been
any report made on their condition. There
has not been month that there have not
been requests for this information. but
there was source to which the dealers
could turn. Onions, by the way are one of
the export crops of this country, and are
therefore the more important. Many of the
other crops included in the new list are also
exported to some extent, but all of them
are of value In interstate commerce. and a
report on their condition at stated intervals
is of great value to the producers and deal
ers as well.
For instance. there has always been a
strong demand for condition and acreag e
report on tomatoes particularly with a
view to the canning industry. It was Inn
possible, In the absence of any authoritative
report for the farmers 20 tell whether they
were getting more or less than their crop
was worth from the Gamers, but with to-
matoes now included in the crop list there
will be some basis for the farmer TO start
figuring from.
All of the states and territories are COW
cred, but there Is no acreage report in the
present issue. This Will come next month
and If the system Is kept up there will be
the acreage report next year to compare
with the acreage this year. and. in addition
to the condition report this will show Very
well how the market prices ought to stand.
1t is interesting to see that nearly all the
new crops reported on are grown In nearly
all of the states This means that they are
grown In commercial quantities. There may
be some alterations and extensions or re-
auctions as to the states covered for par
ticular crops. but this will have to work
itself out The main thing is-that the ex-
tension has been q very large one and has
been made with almost no additional ex-
pandlfure

II there was measurably blue Monday

men who deal In all sorts OF values were
not to be related to any sort OF pessinism
today.
Scenes on the exchange today meant more
than the record shows. They included a
song at the close. fow of good humor and
good fellowship.
The statement that Greene Copper has no
friends Is hardly borne out by the record
and quotations A price Of 2ih was re-
garded as somewhat strong for security
that for several days had been of leading
interest among those who, falling informa-
ton, guess.
Mitchell Mining did not release its hold
on public attention, and maintained Its
price OF 8, with considerable demand.
The bank list was not considered beyond
two minor deals In Second National Bank
at 80 and 1904. The day was practically
featureless except for its fun.
The secretary of the exchange announced
that the board Of directors of the Washing
ton Loan and Trust Company had declared
the fifty-sixth regular quarterly dividend

company, payable August l. 1905
