THROUGH OTHERS EYES.

The following from the Nebraska
State Journal is fair example of
the way others see Colorado:
Before prohibition goes into eff
feet in Colorado let it be recorded
that the state under the high license
system and with saloons open in
nearly all of the cities and towns has
been going through a period of seri-
Gus depression. For nearly five years
Denver has had what may fairly be
called an evil reputation among the
cities of the western states. 1t has
been torn to pieces by social and po-
litical factions, business has been de-
pressed, store rooms to an astonish-
ing number are vacant and empty
residences and apartments have act
ually been listed by the thousand.
The mere closing of the saloons will
not correct this condition. Denver
under prohibition will still be in a
serious situation. 1t cannot recover
its old time prosperity and regain its
sparkle and zest until the resources
of Colorado are more fully developed.
Neither can it become united and
progressive community until it
shakes off the forces that have dis
turbed it so profoundly in the past.
One of the causes of its bad poll
tics has been the liquor trade. An
other has been the interference of the
public service corporations in public
affairs A third serious menace to
social peace has been its jaundiced
newspapers, All of these causes lie
so deep and have so profound an in
fluence upon the life Of the city that
the removal of the saloon, only one
Of many causes Of the depression,
cannot be expected to effect a mir
aculous cure"

DIVERSIFIED COTTON CROPS.

Certainly anything that can be done
to help the south in its Immediate
emergency should be done. But tho
final remedy for such a situation as
the cotton planters are facing now
must come from finding new uses for
cotton, and the resulting increase In
demand, and from a greater diversi-
fication of crops in the cotton states.
The cotton planter now very general
ly buys hay and corn for cash. He
must get in the habit of raising such
necessities for himself 1t has been
ascertained by the department of ag
riculture that whereas the average
Ohio farm has 125 fowls, the average
South Carolina farm has only four
teen. The best friends of the south
and of its planters believe that the
true way to guard against the ups and
downs of king Cotton" is to raise at
home the crops now bought from the
west and increase the production of
small farm animals.-From "The
Progress of the World" in the Am
erican Review of Reviews for Novem-

COLOR-BLINDNESS.

During recent years the subject of
-color-blindness has received much at
tention, especially in relation to men
working on railways and on ships.
Engine-drivers and ships officers are
now subject to examination as re-
CARDS their sight, both in respect to
its strength and also to the power of
discriminating between different col
ored lights. Many tests have been
devised by means of woods and color
ed counters by which the sight of such
people can be tested. 1t has now been
found that color-blindness is always
inherited, and that a man whose an
cestry is free from it never exhibits
it. Curiously, as was explained by
Prof. William Bateson, in his presi-
Dental address, delivered before the
British Association at Sydney on Au-
gust 21st, blindness is always
inherited through the mother, and
never through the father. There ap-
pears to be no instance in which a
color-blind father has transmitted his
defect to his children except in con-
nection with mother who was a
transmitter. 1t does not follow, how
ever, that the mother herself need be
color-blind, but she must have inherit
ed the power of transmitting this
defect from the ancestor. Some prob
ably all, the daughters of color
blind father inherit the power of
transmitting the defect, although they
themselves may not be color-blind,
and, as a rule, they transmit it to
about one-half of their offsprings of
both sexes. The sons who inherit
color-blindness are, of course, color
blind, but they do not themselves
transmit 1t; 1t is the inheriting daugh-
ters who become the transmitters to
the next generation. These facts ought
to be Of considerable assistance in
the future to those who are respon-

SEA SWEEPING.
New York commercial.

New York Commercial,
The Stars and Stripes must look
good to the owners Of vessels regis
tered in this country. There is no
blinking the fact that, instead of be-
ing swept from the seas of the west
orn hemisphere, the German cruise,
squadron has swept the British cruis-
crs from the South Pacific by one of
he most brilliant maneuvers in naval
history. To call together homeless
fleet and strike such a blow as the
Dr,de of Great Britain received off
the coast Of Chile is a marvellous feat,
the Importance of which cannot be
ninimized 1t is also reported that a
squadron, including four battleships,
has sailed out Of the Kiel canal. Aid
ed by the wireless telegraph, Ger
nan naval officers have solved the
problem of getting coal and supplies
without entering ports, and they may
soon attempt to hold up traffic in the
Atlantic steamship lane.
These German victories on the high
seas are of vital Importance to US.
We still depend chiefly on British and
French vessels to carry over exports
to Europe. This trade has just re-
gained it's feet, and now it is threat
ened once more and murine insurance
rates are soaring to the skies. When
the Alabama and other Confederate

HERMIT IN 1860 FOREToLD BIG
WAR.

A prediction of the present war,
and the further prediction that it
presages a series of catastrophes to
conclude in 1899 with the end of the
world, is contained in an old Italian
document, with an interesting history,
in the possession of Antonio Federico,
of No. % Berkeley place, Bloomfield,
N. j.
Mr.. Federico received the document
from his brother, the late Thomas
Federico, who was at one time pro-
fessor in the Roman Catholic college
ai Rome. According to Mr.. Federico,
the document was given to his broth
err by Pope Plus X.
The quaint old document, written
on double piece Of finely grained
paper in Italian, is said to have been
the work Of hermit who lived in
Switzerland. How 1t came into the
possession Of the pope is not known.

CLEVELAND AS a GHOST.

When Grover Cleveland was boy
of II he entered the academy at Fay
etteville, N. Y, says the Kansas City
Star. Most of his schoolmates were
older, and despite his superior knowl-
edge of where the best fishing bait
and fishing places were to be found,
they excluded him from their intimate
society.
Get out and do something they
told him.
'All right, will.' he answered
"and III have the whole town out to
see me-"
That night, in company with his
brother, William, he scaled the acad-
emy building and attached rope to
the bell, They carried it out to a
large tree in The yard.
About midnight, it was moonless
night, the academy bell began to ring
violently. The volunteer fire depart
ment assembled. Lanterns began to
twinkle on all the streets. People
rushed all ways looking for the fire.
Still the bell rang. Some thought of
going to the academy and asking the
ringer to point out the fire.
The bell rope swayed and jerked,
but no hand pulled it, "Spooks,7 one
cried. The more timorous fled. But
the others Investigated and captured
the pranksters before they could es-
cape.
Grover was well thrashed, but made
good his boast and achieved his pur-
