Its Divisibility and Its Relation 20 ira
Speed Of the Planets.

80 OiNieioHitJ eho us Relation 10 tffa
Speed Of the Planets.
I Napoleon. who knew the value o!
time, remarked that it was the quar-
Ter hours that won battles. The
value of minutes has been often rec
ognized, and any person watching
a railway clerk handing out tickets
and change during the last few min.
utes available must have been struck
with how much could be done in
those short portions Of time.
At the appointed hour the train
starts and by and by is carrying pas
sengers at the rate Of sixty miles an
hour. In a second YOU are carried
twenty-nine yards. In one twenty.
ninth Of second You pass over one
yard Now, one yard is quite an
aQprcciable distance, but one twen-
ly-ninth Of a second is a period
which cannot be appreciated.
Yet it is when we come to plane
tary and stellar motions that the
notion Of the infinite divisibilitv OF
time dawns upon us in a new light.
1t would seem that no portion OF
time, however microscopic, is una
yailable. Nature can perform prod.
igies not certainly in less than no
time, but in portions Of it SO mi
mute as to be altogether inconceiva-
bic. The earth revolves on her axis
IN twenty-four hours. At the equa-
Tor her circumference is $4,000
miles; hence in that part of the
Earth a person is being carried east
ward at the rate of 509 yards per
Iecond-that is, he is moving over
yard, whose length is conceivable
n the period Of one fve-hundred-
Ind-ninth part Of a second, Of which
We can have no conception at all.
But more, the orbital motion OF
he earth around the sun causes the
ormer to perform a revolution OF
Iearly 600,000,000 miles in a year,
r somewhat less than 10000 miles
n hour, which is more than 1000
niles a minute. Here, then, our :
econd carries US the long distance /
I about nineteen miles. The

ANOTHER REMEDy.

The governors this year seem to have the lobby on their minds as well as on their hands. Our own governor has made a brave assault on 1t, and in tends to defeat it by vetoing bills which it may improperly get passed. An other governor, Governor Cummins of Iowa, has been talking about the lob by. He disapproves of improper lobby influences to affect the action of men1- bers of the legislature, but he recognizes that there is a legitimate and proper method of informing legislators con- cerning the nature of measures on which they are called to act He says in his message: Men have an un- doubted right to appear before legisla- tive committees to speak for them selves or for corporations in which they are interested, and this right can not be taken away without danger to our system of government" He does not believe in the enactment of laws by legislators to protect themselves against improper influence, but that the people have the remedy in their own hands, by sending to the legisla- ture men who will not yield to such influences, and will make it uncom- fortable for any lobbyists who resort to them.
 Governor Cummins' remedy would be adequate if 1t could be applied. Mean while the lobby is and has been get ting in its work, some of which will show and some will not.

ONE MORE WONDER,

The modern wonder workers are as busy as ever. Some of them are plan ming to make waste water work in In- dia. The Western Ghauts, or noun talns, forty-three miles from Bombay, are among the rainiest districts of the world. Even during the famine years 19O6-07, when thousands of people were perishing elsewhere because of the lack of rain, the inhabitants of the Ghauts district were nearly ruined by a rain fall of from twenty-two to twenty-six feet for the wet season, June to Octo- Der This speedily drains off to the sea. It is proposed to build three great dams, thus utilizing three of the many valleys as reservoirs, an undertaking made all the easier by the stony forma- ton, which does away with the neces- sity of artificial floors in the proposed reservoirs, How steep the approach is appears from the fact that there will be a descent of 1,7S4 feet in less than two and one-half miles At the base of the mountains will be a great power station, from which the electricity gen. erated will be transmitted to Bombay and other points, The largest dam will be ninety-t1ve feet high and 5000 feet long; the second will have a length of 4,5OO feet, and the third of 2,64O feet.
 And yet some very wise and scien~
 tific people have been afraid that this old earth was soon coming to the end of its resources,\ By the time it does perhaps there will be lightning ex-

 PECAN ORCHARDS IN THE SOUTH Just as the people of the North eat peanuts in great quantities so do the people of the South eat oceans" remarked Allen Dupre, a merchant of New Orleans. "On the streets of New Orleans are many vendors who sell them in all sorts Of ways-shelled, un- shelled and in candy form. Peanuts are sold, too, but perhaps oceans have far greater sale.
 ITO meet the demand for them. which Is growing, pecan orchards are now being laid out in the bottom lands of the far South. When old tim Der is cut down pecan trees are plant ed. Many pecan orchards are gradu- ally growing up. They are of slow growth, requiring about fifteen or twenty years to reach maturity, but they are profitable The main supply comes from Mexico, some sixty car loads of shelled oceans being shipped from there every year, for the most part to be consumed in the South, but in decade the main supply will come from the Southern States, which will thus gain a new industry.

JAMES J. HILLS IErrER.

What James J. Hill has to say about business, and especially railroad busi- ness, is always we'll worth careful at tention. His letter to Governor John- son of Minnesota is full of meat. He points out that the railroads can't do what is demanded of them with their present tracks, terminals and equip ment. He says that the situation can only be adequately met by an expendi- ture of $1 1,100, ,00O,0O9 a year for five years-$6, 800 100000 in all. This vast sum is just twice the total amount of the bonded debt of the United States after the close of the civil war. It is more than twice the entire currency in circulation in the country, and only a little less than twice the deposits in all the savings banks in the United States. But Mr. Hill points out that there is D serious obstacle to doing what ought to be done. It is not by accident he says, that railroad building has declined to its lowest within a generation, at the very time when all other forms of &C., tivity have been growing most rapidly. The investor declines to put his money into enterprises under ban of unpopu- larity and even threatened by individ- uals and political parties with confisca- tion or transfer to the State. This feeling must be removed and greater confidence be mutually established if any considerable portion of the vast sum necessary is to be available for the work"
 There is solid and important truth in what MT. Hill says. Demagogues cant relieve the railroad situation, and they can't manage the railroads. Sound business principles soundly and sensi- bly, applied are what are needed. The people of this country can't afford to recklessly injure the railroads.
