3 MYSTERY OF THE DEEP SEA.

Swedish scientints Investigate the
One of the most curious marine phe-
snomena known to seamen is that call
ed by Norwegian sailors, dead water"
which, without any visible cause, makes
a vessel lose her speed and refuse to
answer her helm. The sailors only
definite knowledge Of Its origin. says
the Scotsman, is that 1t exists solely
where there is a surface layer of fresh
water resting upon the salt waters of
the sen. Several explanations have
been advanced by the captains of ships
of the effect Of dead water, the COM
monest of which is that the two water
layers move In different directions. The
true explanation, however, was recent
ly found by Swedish investigators. At
least SO 1t would seem from what fol-
lows.
The experiment carried out was an.
exceedingly pretty one. A large plate
glass tank vas first mounted on a
wooden frame. The tank was then fill
ed to certain depth with salt water
and layer of fresh water was care
fully poured on to the surface. SO that
two separate water layers were OBJ
tained. The salt water was blackened
with ligsid Chinese ink before the wa
ter layers were prepared, and In this
way the different layers were made
clearly visible. A boat model was then,
towed along the tank and silhouette
of the waves produced was obtained
by placing a white screen at short
distance behind the tank. The waves
were also photographed by flashlight
and the results showed conclusively
that waves actually were set up at
the boundary line between the two
liquids.
Further experiments were made to.
verify the sudden loss of speed due to
dead water. The boat model was drawn
across the tank and the towing string
suddenly slackened when the boat was
about half way across. In cases where
the tank contained salt water only the
boat stopped gradually. moving some
boat lengths after the towing string
had been slackened. When the tank
contained layer of fresh water rest
Ing on salt water, on the other hand,
the boat slackened speed quite sudden
~ and moved only a very short dis,
lance. These experiments, carried out
on a small scale, prove concluslyely
that the difficulties encountered within
a dead water zone are really due to the
resistance experienced by the vessel in
generating Invisible waves at the fresh
water-salt water boundary, although In
some particular cases the influence Of
undercurrents must also, doubtless, be
taken into account.

Extraordinary voting.

The most extraordinary election re-
turns came from Pennsylvania, where
the people voted to endorse the Pen.
rose machine and condone the grating
of over $5,0OOO0O from the money e1.
pended in furnishing the new capitol.
And most extraordinary of all was this
result was largely brought about by the
sympathy and assistance Of the Presi-
dent of the United States in virtually
endorsing the rule of the ring on the
ground that the defeat of the machine
would jeopardize the Republican con-
troll of Congress. How the addition Of
a few machine Republican members Of
Congress will help President Roosevelt
carry out any measures he may have in
contemplation has not been explained
and never will be to the satisfaction Of
genuine reformers.

leading to destruction whoever may at
tempt to execute such threats.
The existing order of society can be
changed only by the will of the majority.
Each man has the full right to entertain
and advocate by speech and print such
opinions as suit himself and the great
body of people will usually care little
what he says. But if he proposes muir
der as means Of enforcing his opinions
he puts his own life at stake. And no
clamor about free speech or the evils to
be cured or the wrongs to be redressed
will shield him from the consequences
of his crime. His liberty is not a H.
cense to. destroy. The federation that he
enjoys he must extend to others and not
arrosantly assume that the great majority
are wrong and may rightfully be coerced
by terror or removed by dynamite.

Wants New Name.

Vaughan Taylor Borgenski, of Bala,
Pa, has naturally caught the simple
spelling fever, SO popular with Presl-
dent Roosevelt Borgensk: wants his
last name changed to Bornet, because
with his present name he Is up against
all sorts of perplexities.
In the first place, 1t is hard to spell;
then it is harder to remember, and as
a consequence he believes that his busi-
ness as draughtsman In Philadelphia
would be more profitable to him IL his
name were not such 'stumper."
He asserts in his petition that he Is
daily called many different names aud
that many communications intended for
him are either never written or 70
astray because the writer is unable to
remember or properly spell his name.

Canadian Regulation.

| The Canadian government seems de
termined to increase the tariff so that
our American trusts cannot undersell
their manufacturers. 1t is expected to
compel our industrial corporations to
establish branch factories which will
give employment to Canadian work,
men or draw workmen from the Unit
ed States, soSthat the money which has
been paid for imports will be spent at
home. 1t is suggested that imports of
raw materials will be comparatively
free of duty, but practically prohlb-
tive duties in other. directions are be-
ing urged. How thissretaliatory poll
cy will be relished by our standpat
statesmen and, whether the trusts will
help out the Canadians remains to be

Statistics of trades unionIsm show
that there are more than 100000 wage
earners now affiliated with organiza-

approximately one-quarter are in the
United States. New York, with less
than one-fifth of the population of
France, has one-balf as many trades
unionists. In this State one In nine

The solid southwe.t.

The sweeping Democratic victory In
the coming State Of Oklahoma, the
overwhelming defeat by the Arizona
negative Of President Rooseyelts
scheme to make only one State Of the
two far Southwest Territories, the re-
turn of Missouri to its Democratic az
leglance and the Democratic victory IN
Kansas are stinging rebukes to Repulpp-
lican discrimination against the rising
young giant of the Southwest. b.
The election has made the Southwest
solidly Democratic from the northern
line of Missouri to the Rio Grande ana
from the Mississippi river to the 1907
hills of the Rocky mountains. II mas
done more. BY adding Minnesota ana
by almost adding Iowa and Kansas u
has marked out broad Democratlc
trail along the middle line of the coun-
try from Lake Superior and the Cana.
dian border to the southernmost point
of the United States.
If Oklahoma Republicans IN advance
Of the election rightly forecast the re-
suit of decisive Democratic victory
In the statehood convention election, 1t
means that the State of Oklahoma VIII
send to the Slxtieth Congress two SEN
ators and three or four Of the five Rep
resentatiyes with which Oklahoma VIII
enter the Union.
And If the Democrats make good use
of their success 1t means that the new
State will give seven electoral votes
to the Democratic candidate for the
presidency in 1908.
The Southwest takes care OF itselI
and stands by Its allies. The Repub-
lican slump in Kansas Is In part due
to the bad record of the Republican
governor, Hoch, and to the high char
acter of ex-senator Harris, the Demo-
cratic candidate. But If the solid Re-
publican delegation in Congress mad
In the last session obeyed the will of
their constituents, instead OF follow
Ing Republican bosses in Washington
In the fight over Southwestern state
hood, the Republicans of Kansas might
have saved much that they have lost.
Politically as well rs commercially
and lndustrially the Southwest is unit
ed by common interest The recent
election won for 1t allies in the North
west. The steady aim of the South
west should be by prudence and the
consistent and conservative application
of the principles Of Jeffersonian De-
mocracy to preserve its unity and re-
tain Its allies.

1t holds each man responsible for the

ON TATTL1NG IN SCHOOL.

nor is the problem an easy one in all

in which the cooperation Of the teach

much toward shaping the characters
Of their boys and girls in after life

sued statement on the remarkable ex-
pansion that has taken place in the

cially noted is that the Increase shows
a greater per cent in most other coun-
