lIshed IN an old Newburyport Herald
OF century ago, threatening with
''publIc exposure" mention Is made
Of prosecution II he should repeat his
raids, the "nefarlous scoundrel, void OF
either manners or breeding" who had
stolen apples from certain orchard.
Whether or not the remainder OF the
crop was spared, II IL impossible not
to feel that the satisfaction Of seeing
''nefarious scoundrel" In good black
print must have proved emlnently
soothing to the spirit Of the peppery
old gentleman who penned the adver.
tlsement.
The dlsproportion between the Ian
guage and the offense reminds one Of
that trial, IN another old colonial town,
at which n pompous Judge had dis

majesty OF the law and the wlckedness

states clearly that telephone service

declares where the public is required
to drop a nickel every time the tele-
phone is used, the monthly rate will
be greatly in excess of the maximum
rates prescribed by the ordinance or
by special grant. If the companies
desires to carry on this kind of SER

the general Improvement of CONNER
Gal conditions Mr.. Thompson said:
"A very good and very sure
thing of trade conditions is the de-
elared exports to the United States

very minute. 1t may not be appar-
ent in every respect, but in orders
placed in Germany by American buy
ers and in goods now being shipped
TO this country, the improvement dur
ing the quarter ended July so has
been almost marked as the falling off
was noticeable during the previous
SIX months.
Germany has felt the effects Of the
depression here very acutely as her
exports to American are, principally
manufactured utilities. While the
value Of our exports to Germany
vastly exceeds what we buy from
her-this being on account Of her
purchase Of raw products such as
cotton, grain and petroleunf-in a
comparison on an exchange of manu-
factured articles purely, she has us
beaten by nearly 500 per cent, this is,
she sells us a hundred millions worth
Of manufactured articles while we
sell her perhaps twenty millions
worth"

All the Movements of the Earth Are

NEW YORK, July 30.-All the
movements of the earth are repre-
sented by remarkable astronomical
clock which has been placed on public
view at the American Museum OF
National History 1t was designed
by DR.. Herman c. Bumpus, director
OF the institution and is the result OF
months OF patient experiment. 1t
shows the daily rotation of the earth
upon its axis. The light from the
stereopticon shines on the sphere in
such manner as to illuminate half
of it at a time. The shadow of
wire which is back OF the lens cor
responds to the meridian OF New
York.
The earth is caused to revolve by
means of shaft which derives its
power from a small clock. This shaft
passes through wooden tunnel and
communicates its power to bevel
gears, which cause the sphere to be
always changing its poise.
By watching the meridian shadow
the observer can always tell the

racy
The contrivance was constructed
by All. H. Peers, an expert mechani-
clan connected with the museum.

ligious paper-it does the more harm
than good.
I wish In this letter to say truly that
THE New World Of Chicago" Is not my
church: neither are the priests, bishops or
cardinals with whom I have differed in
''opinion." As a child Of God none Of
these have ever denied me the right to a
place in the Kingdom Of God, though
they may have denied me q seat, high or
low, at my Fathers table on earth; and
when n priest asserted that the birth Of
a child was a title deed to a place at ttis
table, 1t seemed 20 new that he was sum-
nioned to appear before an inquisition In
Washington: he vas tried and acquitted,
and the Pope blessed lin. This il his
tory. This is to show that the spirit Of
my church is republican. when it teaches
that all things are public that God made.
the coal, the iron, the copper, the site
values In cities, the earth in fact, belong
to all men; we all have a right to a seat
at the table. Most kings and priests ad
init this, in a Pickwickian sense. but
laugh when you tell them that If all tax
was gradually taken from labor products
and placed on land value until all reven-
III came from this source, there would be
no spirit issuing from unjust surround
inXs to drive brave men to murder kings
or priests. The labor party must let the
priests and women care for the wounded
on the road to Jericho, it must bring to
J Justice the monopolists who cause II
der by muzzling mother earth. Amen.
