Why Oil Gains Seas.

Waves in mid-ocean are caused entirely
by the action of the wind. The adhesion
between the rapidly moving particles of air
which compose the wind and the surface
particles of the water causes the waters
surface to be dragged along with the air.
Small ripples are Immediately formed. These
rlpples soon overtake others near them,
They unite, and due to the friction be-
tween the water particles each succeed
ing ripple piles up on the top of previous
ones.
Just as soon as oil is spread upon the
water, however, the size of the waves is re-
dueed like magic. The reason for this is
interesting. Oil, unlike water, has very lit
tie internal friction between its particles.
The ripples of oil formed by the wind,
therefore, cannot pile upon each other to
any considerable height.
Hence, water waves cannot grow in an
area of oil placed about a steamer. They
begin to fall down instead. BY the time
these waves reach the boat they will have
lost their formative ripples and the result
is perfectly calm surface over the portion
OF the sea through which the boat is making
its way.

TROOPS TO FRANCE?

The question of sending troops to France
within a few weeks should be and probably
will be settled with view to practical mill
&ary effect, and without regard to the
wishes or interests of any individual, in
GLIDING Colonel Roosevelt. 1t seems wholly
idle to go to the trouble of debating so self
evident fact.
It now seems reasonably certain that it
is the intention of the government to send
troops to France. When this will be depends
IN part upon the length of time required for
adequate preparation, and in part upon
the wishes of the allied strategy board. The
question under discussion now is whether
a sort of advance guard shall be sent with
in a few weeks-a small unit to serve as
d symbol of American willingness to make
the blood sacrifice. 1t should be fully I'M
derstood that any advantage to accrue from
such an expedition should be moral that in
actual physical fighting an American detach-
ment of $4,000 or 100000 would not add
in any substantial way to the force of the
<'big push" now in progress on the western
front.
If there is not reasonable promise of mil
itary advantage through the moral effect of
American physical participation in the
fighting we should continue to devote our
energies to preparation for the time when
such participation can be initiated most eff
fectively. In this connection it should be
understood that the possible moral effect
Of American aggressiveness will be limited
to the most part to Germany. The French
morale has always been high, and the Brit
ish morale is now at its crest. The Ger
man morale obviously is slipping.
General JOffre has given a powerful
boost to the movement for an early Ameri-
can expedition. General Joffre is not now
in charge of the fighting in France. Wheth-
er his plea for early American activity rep
resented personal sentiment or the plans of
the allied high command remains to be
seen.

PREPOsTEROUS FOOD PRICES.

Mr.. Houston, the secretary of the depart
ment of agriculture, cannot understand
why wheat should be selling for 1892 a
bushel. We produced last year, over and
above our consumption and seeding require
ments, 170,000,0O0 bushels. We have ex-
ported 130, 100000 bushels, leaving an excess
of 40,000,00O. The prospects are that this
years crop will meet our needs
Whatever the reasons for the present
price they should be determined. An inves-
tigation, in the opinion of good many per-
sons more or less familiar with the situa-
ton, would likely discover the cause for the
high price of wheat in the Chicago board of
trade.
The spectators, of course, are solely
responsible for the preposterous prices that
are now charged to the law of supply and
demand.
The responsibility is spread over the en-
tire ranks of middlemen, from the big specu-
lator to the smallest retailer. They are out
for all the traffic will bear. Food prices
are higher in Dawson to-day than they are
in blockaded Berlin or submarine-bound
London. That condition is not explainable
by the law of supply and demand. 1t is ex-
plainable only by the lawlessness of power.

Anticipates Grand Sport.
From the swainsboro Forest-Blade.

With a long pole in hand the Forest
Blade has taken an easy seat beside Geor.
gia's political pond, and the first time one
of these political prohibitionist tadpoles
pokes his head out and begins to croak about
his part in the "bone-dry' business we're
going to swat him once, anyway.
There are all sorts of prohibtionists, of
whom we are one of which.
There is the philosophical prohibitionist
the fellow who, because he does drink the
stuff, IS best able to appreciate its iniouitv.
He is not hypocrite-he does not deny
his own drinking; but he wants law against
liquor to save himself as we'll as others.
That kind of prohibtionist while probably
not so regarded in circles of suave and ultra
plousness, is about the most sincere prohibi-
ZIONIST of ALL
Then there is the practical prohibitionist
"a man who is one of the temperance band.
He practices what he breaches. And be-
cause he doesn't drink it himself he doesn't
want anybody else to have a drop.
Worst of all are the political prohibi-
tlonlsts. They were opposed to prohibition
as long as it was politically unpopular Now
they are believing on the band wagon, be-
cause they think it will boost their election
chances. Of such as these is the political
kingdom of Georgia largely composed
Personally, they are nice fellows and we
like 'em immensely. But politically a de-
ceased mullet that has been lying on the
bank in the sun for weeks is as fragrant as
June rose when compared to them
A number of these DULLES have taken a
plunge into the political pond, and they are
now lurking in the shadows, biding THEN
time until campaign season comes again
We repeat, we are going to crack EN-
over the head just as fast as thew pop IN
and have no doubt also that Old Man Peepul
as Mr. Watson so affectionately calls the
brethren with the ballot will also shv a few
missiles in their general direction.

CONSIDER THE SKUNK

1t Is mistake to despise the skunk. A
knowledge of the offensive possibilities of the
little animal has been given an exaggerated
Importance, which has prevented a general
understanding of its actual usefulness. The
truth IS the skunk is offensive only when
frightened or attacked, and has an economic
value far outweighing its Objectionable
characteristic. Naturalists have for years
been trying to impress this upon the public
at large.
Professor D. E. Lands, of the biological
survey at Washington, who has made very
careful investigation of the matter. takes
strong exceptions to what he characterizes
as unwarranted abuse heaped upon the
skunk, which, instead of being recklessly
prosecuted, should have its existence con-
served as fulfilling a beneficial purpose.
Inc pelt of the skunk is of great value,
and makes the bearer second in Importance
among the fur-bearing animals of this coun-
try, the muskrat being first. The worth of
ITS skin has long been recognized COM
mercIaily, but the prejudice referred to has
prevented the sale of them for what thew
were. For many years nearly all the product
was exported for European manufacture.
and a great deal of it returned to this coun-
cry as "black marten" and ALASKA sable. {"
But there are other good reasons for
guarding the animal. Farmers have found
chat skunks are helpful to agricultural pur-
suits, and have joined hands with CONNER
cial interests to secure more protective leg
lsiauon. Most of the insect food of skunks

The Brotherhood of Man.
From the Memphis CommerciaI.Appeal.

From the Memphis CommerciaI-Appeal.
The man who lives in this world only
to satisfy himself confers great benefit on
his fellow-man when he dies. He rids the
world of pest. We are living in an age
when the brotherhood of man can be ap-
preciated 1t is the age when the skies are
dark, and when the gloom of the atmosphere
is little alarming.
Mems hearts must not be set against one
another. Men must stand together. We
must also remember that united we stand.
and that divided we fall Union does everv-
thing when it is perfect. 1t satisfies desires.
simplifies needs and becomes a consistent
standby to the nation in trouble.
But this is the day of the brotherhood
of man, when we must stand together and
help each other in day of crisis.
We must take this to heart and realize
the fact that there is but one real virtue.
and that is the virtue of eternal self-sacri-
fee

GOVERNMENTAL PRICE FIXING.

From the Savannah News.
Just how the government could be of
much service to consumers by the fixing of
prices is not plain. Suppose, for example,
it attempted to fix price for wheat that
should continue for two years. If the price
was high the planting of wheat would be
encouraged and there would soon be great
abundance, with the result that the public.
the consumers, would be paying much more
than wheat was worth and w8W1d naturally
protest, and protest loudly and long. On the
other hand, if the fixed price was low and
the profit small for the wheat farmer the
wheat acreage would speedily fall off, the
years crop would likely be far smaller and
there would be fine chance for a wheat
shortage.
