two burglars on the Quai de Mercy,

AS TO ROTATION IN OFFICE.

Honest politics is by no means in
compatible with party spirit. The civil
service cannot be made to cover the
whole official fabric like a blanket
with good result to the country. In
republic such as ours officialism
should be as running water, not stag
nant as in bureaucracy. In short, life
tenure is hateful to our system. The
Republicans understood their business
uncommonly well and gave no quar-
ter to the Democrats. Turn and turn
about is good politics and it is not
unfair play.-Louisville Courier-Jour-

TAKING OF
TESTIMONY
CONTINUES

United Press
MARQUETTE, Mich, May 2s.-
At this mornings session of the New
EFT trial, John Callan O'Loughlin, a
Chicago newspaper man and ex-assist-
ant secretary of state, testified that
he had known Roosevelt twenty years.
OLoughlin testified that the colonel
was extremely absteminous; that he
never saw him take over a single glass
of wine at any dinner or elsewhere.
He described the details of Roosevelt's s
travels in Europe after his return
from Africa.
Attorney Belden, for Newett, tried
to get O'Loughlin to admit that the
rumor current among newspaper men
that Roosevelt habitually drank ex-
cessively, to which the newspaper man
angrily replied: Every reputable
newspaper man knows that is lie
The defense expects to show that
Newett, in printing the charges of
drunkenness was not malicious, but
merely repeated the story circulated
generally and generally believed. His
attorney demanded the right to intro
duce evidence that it was generally
believed that Roosevelt was a hard
drinker. The plaintiff objected.
Gibson Gardner, newspaper man,
and Robert Bacon, ex-ambassador to
France, will testify this afternoon.

ANOTHER CANAL IN
CENTRAL AMERICA POSSIBLE

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 28.-
Another great Atlantic-Paciic water
way, making ship route between
the eastern and western coasts Of the
United States 1000 miles shorter than
through the Panama canal, will be
built soon by the United States ia
the opinion of DR.. Salvador Castrillo,
retiring Nicaraguan minister. DIR. Ca
strillo declared in statement that he
believed canal treaty would be me-
gotiated between the United States
and Nicaragua and that a canal would
be constructed across his country.
The canal treaty, which is an in
heritance from the Taft administra-
ton, was negotiated by Minister Welt
eel last winter and has received the
approval Of the Nicaraguan govern
ment. By its terms Nicaragua, for
$3,OO0,00O, would grant the United
States the exclusive right to construct
canal across Nicaragua by way OF
the San Juan river and Like Mica
ragua.
This government would also have
right to acquire a coaling station
in the bay of Fonseca on the Pacific
side of the coast.
"Of course the pending treaty may
be modified" said DR.. Castrillo, "but l
am greatly encouraged by Mr.. Bryan's
assurance that he has broad view Of
the subject after a careful examina-
ton of the provisions of the proposed
convention.
After all the Panama canal is OF
military and strategic Importance but
when it is realized that the Mica
raguan canal would shorten the route
TO the Pacific coast by an additional
1000 miles am convinced that 1t will
be built. When the first Of the great
Pacific railroads was built across the
United States, it was thought that 1t
would be sufficient for all commercial
needs. 1t, however, only served TO sm-
phasize the demand for other lines,
which were speedily built"

FRANCES WEALTH PRODUCERS.

The steady decline Of population has
long been subject Of serious concern
to French statesmen. But another
and more alarming discovery has been
made. The French peasant is losing
his reputation as wealth producer
The vast accumulation of reserve cap
ital in France, and the general pros
perity Of the country are due in no
small degree to the existence of an in
dustrious and thrifty peasantry. The
peasant is the backbone of the re-
public. And yet all is well with agri-
culture in France. The subject has
been thoroughly ventilated in the Par
is press.
1t will surprise most people to know
that the net returns to the French
farmer are lower than those of most
countries in Europe. Denmark, only
fourth the size, exports four times
more agricultural produce than France
Germany and Belgium, although main
ly industrial countries, have rela-
lively greater agricultural export than
France, which is primarily an agri-
cultural nation. The return per acre
to land under crops in France is low
er than in Denmark, Belgium, Eng
land or Germany in the order Of pro-
duction. France shows increasing inn
ports Of eggs and butter, although
twelve years ago France exported
more eggs than Denmark.

Really our human body is miracle
of mechanism. No work Of man can
compare with it in accurancy of its
process and the simplicity of its laws.
An English scientist has recently told
some of the facts of this mechanism.
For instance, our ear contains a per-
feet miniature piano of about 5000
double fibers or strings stretched or
relaxed in unison with exterior sounds.
The longest cord of this marvellous
instrument is fifteenth Of an inch,
while the shortest is about one-five-
hundredth of an inch. The 5000
strings are distributed through reg
lister of seven octaves, each octave
corresponding to about 400 fibers and
every half tone subdivided again into
32O others. The deepest tone we can
hear has thirty-two vibrations sec
ond; the highest has 10000. Though
there are only nine perfect tones in
the human voice, there are 1882
115,415 different sounds. The eye is
hardly less wonderful, being perfect
photographers camera. The retina
is the dry plate on which are focused
all objects by means Of the crystalline
lens. The cavity behind this lens is
the shutter. The eyelid is the drop
shuttle. The draping of the optical
dark room is the only black membrane
in the entire body. The miniature
camera is self-focusing, self-loading,
and self developing, and takes mil
lions of pictures every day in colors
and enlarged to life size. Charts have
been prepared which go to show that
the eye has 729 distinct expressions
conveying as many distinct shades of
meaning. Our body takes in an av-
erage of five and a nalf pounds Of
food and drink each day, which
amounts to one ton of solid and liquid
nourishment annually, so that in sew
enty years man eats and drinks
900 times his own weight. Every
time we breathe the process is no less
wonderful. For each 100 muscles are
employed, 40 per cent of the muscles
Of the body being active in wonderful
cooperation in this single act An
other marvel of the human body is the
self-regulation process by which ma
ture keeps the temperature in health
at 98 degrees. Whether in India, with
the temperature at 100 degrees, or in
the arctic regions, where the records
show 120 degrees below the freezing
point, the temperature Of the body
remains the same, practically steady
at 98 degrees, despite the extremi-
ties to which it is subjected. VI the
total heat given out by the combustion
of food man can make one-fifth avail-
able in the form Of actual work, while
scence has never constructed a steam
engine that could utilize more tnan
one-ninth of the energy of the fuel
burned under the boiler. And all this
continuously.

Recent Investigations at the Flag
staff (Ariz.) observatory seem to have
strengthened Prof. Lowell's theory
that the canals" observed on the
planet Mars are in fact real canals of
real water and that they are the
work of beings Of high intelligence.
Prof. Worthington in a recent article
saws that on account of the low at
mospheic pressure on Mars, water
boils at temperature Of III degrees.
Thus evaporation must be rapid. He
believes that the water which feeds
the canals must be conveyed in closed
conduits or pipes, as otherwise 1t
would all evaporate before it reached
the equator from the poles. The prog
ress of the water, or perhaps the
vegetation due to it, can be traced in
the telescope as the Marian season
advances. But owing to the shape OF
the planet, it is concluded that this
water cannot merely flow by gravity;
it is thought that it must be forced
along by some sort Of pumping sys-
TEN. Mars is in more advanced
stage of planetary existence than the
earth is and it has lost most Of its
atmosphere and most Of its water.
Each winter the water Is locked up in
the form of polar ice-cap. and each
onrip1 this ice-cap melts. releasing
the water. There is every reason to
believe that under the conditions pre-
vailing on Mars there are beings Of
advanced order of living there. 1t is
argued that these beings may be far
ther along in the scale than the deni-
zens of the earth are, since the race
here has had more time TO evolve. OF
course, however, all this is as yet
merely in the realm Of speculation
scientific romance as 1t were.
