Characteristic of Our Navy. One characteristic common to almost all American naval commanders, ono which equnl with their bravery en dears them to their countrymen, is their more than willingness to share with colleagues and subordinates the glories of tlieir achievements. A nota ble and pleasing instance is found In the report of Captain McCalla to the secretary of the navy on the part taken by himself and his men in the first Fe king relief expedition. A brave man himself, he knows a brave man when he sees one and is quick to recognize deeds of bravery in others. After giving details of the expedition In which he bore such n gallant part, modestly refraining from anything like self laudation, Captain McCalla makes the generous suggestion that this gov ernment might do well to offer some tangible recognition to certain of the foreign naval officers who co-operated with our men in the operations. Captain McCalla's stirring report winds up with this characteristic ref erence to the splendid conduct of his own men: "It will be a very pleasant duty In a future communication to rec ommend certain officers and men of the Newark for promotion oi for medals of honor whose services justly entitle them to the consideration of the navy department in my opinion, and I may say that I consider It an honor to have commanded so tine a body of officers and men." With men of the stripe of Captain McCalla in command—and they are the rule rnther than the exception—it is no marvel that the esprit de corps of the American navy excites tlie admiration of the world. There is cheer for the long winter nights in the knowledge that this year's apple crop will be the largest in recent years. It is agreed by the National Ap ple Shippers' association that the com ing crop of the United States, Canada and Nova Scotia "will be the largest of any crop In the history of the country," and that means of the world, for the apples of England and Europe are not comparable with those of this country In size, flavor or coloring, being chiefly green or white fruit of inferior quality. Contemplating the crop now In sight, President Richardson told tlie shippers at their recent convention in Cleveland, us recorded in The Fruit Trade Jour nal, that apples can no longer be con sidered a luxury, but a necessity, equal with potatoes or any other food staple. The crop is very heavy In New Eng land, New York and Pennsylvania, moderate to full in the central, western and southwestern states and heavy In the far west, the Pacific slope, Canada and Nova Scotia. The yearly apple yield of North America fluctuates be tween 25,000,000 and 75,000,000 barrels. It was perhaps 70,000,000 In 1800, which is tlie record year in this coun try. It was not more than 30,000,000 last year. The crop of 1900 should be somewhere from 80,000,000 to 100,000,- 000 barrels, enough at least to furnish a mug of cider and a roasted apple nightly to every citizen of the republic during tlie winter. Tlie approaching reunion of Den mark's royal family at Fredensberg is on event of more than common Inter est, particularly In view of the king killing activity of the anarchists. The family is unique in having supplied so many European thrones, and the gath ering will be a remarkable one, Includ ing among the more notable figures aside from the rulers of Denmark the czar of Russia, Kaiser Wilhelm, King George of Greece, King Oscar of Swe den and the Princess of Wales, pro spective queen of England. Contem plated in connection with the assassi nation of King Humbert, such an ag gregation of royal personages contains possibilities that are appalling. Yet the abandonment of the reunion for such a cause would be more damaging than defiance as a confession of terror. The progressive nations of the world are the sreat food consuming nations.

STUDY IN BRAINS, f o O ♦ t 9 IT IS QUALITY AND NOT SIZEX J THAT M EASVHES IN- O TELLIUENCE. F O O so^o^o<£o<£o<s>o<.?*s>o<s>ovj>o<^o<§>o^oss> The man whose brain is small finds a certain satisfaction In the conviction that a woman's must of necessity be smaller. It is a very ancient arrogance —old as the Aryan housefather and older. We find In It ample development among savages, whose contempt for the female understanding Is usually measureless, says Professor Alexander Sutherland In the New York Journal. In proportion as men progress toward civilization so do they grow out of this crude conceit. Ilut they never divest themselves of it to more than a partial extent. The barbarian, even when he has an intuitive feeling which makes him act on the advice of his women folk, al ways asserts his independence and scorns to give them more than a crumb of credit for a success which may pos sibly have originated in their mild sug gestions. Every year seems to show with In creasing conclusiveness that whatever be the ultimate decision In regard to the occurrence of genius there is in the great mass of cases a practical equali ty in tla male and female minds. Dr. Boyd, who at St. Marylebone hos pital weighed the brains of 652 men and 715 women, supplies us with fig ures from which we can calculate that the average man has 10 per cent more brain weight than the average woman. Yierordt's figures from 152 men and 172 women give the average man an advantage of 12 per cent. But these are absolute measurements and therefore form no test of intelli gence. Else would the whale, the ele phant and the dolphin, with their huge brains, be all more Intelligent than man. But if it be objected that this comparison is sophistical on account of disparity in quality then I readily make the comparison within the hu man race itself. It is plain, then, that the big man derives no advantage in the way of intellect from the bigness of his bniiu. and that man, in so far as his larger brain is due to his larger body, enjoys no advantage in capacity over wo man. The comparison must evidently be one of proportion, and yet the diffi cult question arises, What is to be the basis of that proportion? Occasion al efforts have in the last 40 years been made by physiologists to settle this point, but there is noue yet that is satisfactory. The most obvious aud most usual is to compare the brain weight with the body weight. If this be done, woman has proportionately a larger brain than man, for Boyd's figures show that she has .50 ounce of brain for every pound of weight in her body, while man has only .47 ounce. Here she has an advantage of 0 per cent. Bischoff's figures, gathered in Bonn from 520 men and 502 women, give to the feminine brain exactly the same advantage of 0 per cent, and those of Yierodt, Parchappe and others lead to closely approximate results. Is the ignominious conclusion, then, to be swallowed and digested that, after all, instead of being Inferior wo man is more richly endowed with brain than man? Copying Drawing*. It is known that a drawing laid flat can be copied by looking obliquely tlirough a vertical pane of glass at its reflected image, which appears to be on a sheet of paper on the other side of the glass, where the sheet should >K OK Ml ;I{"'!\ i• u \ *^^ be shadowed from light. Some prac tice is needed in accurately tracing the lines of the drawing, because the pencil point is accompanied by a refracted image of itself. It is obvious that the picture is re versed in the image right aud left. To obviate this M. Prudhomme, as re ported in La Nature, has devised the arrangement given in the accompany ing illustration. The picture is placed vertically. It is reversed in a mirror set before it at an angle of 45 degrees. Then it is righted in the second image seen as If thrown upon the paper. The church tower in the picture now ap pears on the same side of the edifice as in the drawing copied. In this process the partition should be of plate glass, which would give no distortion, but common glass will do for approx imate outline, to be corrected after ward by comparison. I)lK<'Nlion ly Carnivorous Plants. I The nepenthes, or pitcher plants, have long been considered and de scribed as carnivorous, but It Is now asserted by M. Itnpell Dubois that this i Is not so. It the liquid collected from j the "pitcher" be sterilized, It has no i digestive properties, and he therefore attributes the pseudo-digestion of the | open pitcher to the action of microbes. STRIKE COMMENTS. Continued from First Page, noss in general, but immediately and primarily upon the strikers themselves. They show a consciousness of the gravity of the situation which is far from being characteristic of "strike leaders."' But they say that their grievances have become intolerable, and that they really have no choice but to strive for the redress of them in the only practicable way. Their statement, though necessarily general, is clear in explanation and mod erate in tone. It seems to us to require an answer. The miners recognize the enormous power of public sympathy and opinion in such a struggle as that upon which they have entered. The oper ators, should, it seems, in their own interest, makes a similar recognition. The real question is not whether the procedings of the miners have been regularly conducted. It is not even whether the settlement of grievances and the demand for the redress of them come from the persons actually aggriev ed or from their attorneys. It is whether the grievances are real. Upon the answer which the public returns to that question, after it has been inform ed. will depend the direction of its sympathies. And public sympathy will be a very great and may be a decisive factor in the settlement of the strike.— New York Times. OPERATORS HAVE DONE NOTHING. These are tho principal grievances of the men. The operators have done nothing to meet them. They have re fused to recognize the Mine Workers' Union, which it is their right to do, undoubtedly. They have the right also to demand that their dealings shall be directly with their own employes, but here comes another hitch. The men have learned from experience that it is dangerous for a cominitteo of omployos to wait upon the operators, for the his tory of such cases has been that the members of the committee have in a short time found themselves blacklisted. And so we are face to face with a serious strike, one that will affect thousands of homos, reduce to poverty thousands of miners and their families, drive into bankruptcy or starvation many a store-keeper and causo tremen dous losses to the mine owners them selves. All efforts to bring about arbitration have failed up to dato. Tho men are ready. How about the operators? They have shown no sign of willingness to co-operate, and their behavor in this respect does them no credit. For let it be understood that the persons who refuse arbitration aro the ones that the public will hold responsible for the bloodshed that is sure to come.—Phila. Inquirer. NO POLITICS IN IT. Tho questions at issue between the miners and their omployors hinge upon only a few facts. Whether the miners shall trade at company stores and employ company doctors, pay an exhorbitan price for company powder and accept without question the company rate of dockage are points that in no way enter into politics. It is to be hoped that the politicians will keep their hands off. They can accomplish nothing but to foment strife and delay an agreement.—Phila. North American, THE POWDER QUESTION. For years, whenever a strike has been threatened by the miners in the anthracite coal field, the so-called powder question has figured as the principal factor in the category of grievances presented by tho men. "The operators make us pay 82.75 per keg for powder for which they pay only 81.25." The operators do not deny this allegation, but contend that tho rate of wages paid is based on the price of powder, that is to say, if tho price of powder were reduced tho rate of wages must come down in tho same proportion, consequently the minors would gain nothing if their demand for a reduction in the prico of power wore granted. Assuming that this is the actual status of tho powder question, it must be admitted by every thoughtful person that nothing could be more slip-shod and unbusinesslike. What would be thought of a mer chant who should propose to his em ployes that they purchase of him every thing they eat or wear, pay him double the actual cost, and he would make it up to them in their wages? Neverthe less such a propositiou would be about on a par with the policy of the coal operators in charging two prices for tho powder used by tho miners on the plea that if they did not do so they would be compelled to pay the miners less for cutting coal. According to their own version this policy of the coal operators is at var iance with approved and scnsiblo busi ness principles such as prevail in every other channel of industry. The excessivo profits on powder charged by the coal operators has un questionably been the primary cause of more discontent and disturbances in these anthracite coal fields than any other grievance the miners have com plained of. Why the operators have so persistently and stubbornly adhered to it others have never been able to clearly understand.—Wilkesbarre Record. RAILROAD TIMETABLES LEHIGH VALLEY RAILROAD. May 27, 1900.
