CURRENT COMMENT. Nkw York wns said to be planning to build an underground railway at a cost of 50,000,000. The mayor of Salt Laltc City recent v told a reporter that one district in Utah contains 8-0,000,000,000 worth of Rold. A riiOTFST asrainst tho erection of a statue to Gen. Butler has been re ceived by tho Massachusetts legisla ture. The widow of Alexander Campbell, founder of tho Christian or Campliellito faith, is living, at tho ago of 04, in Uethany, W. Va. Mexico prows in proportion more rapidly than Canada, the increase in our southern neiehbor in four years having been 000,000, or about eight per cent It is proposod to build an iron cage over and around the monument of Daniel Hoono and his wife, near Car rollton, Ky., in order to preserve what is loft of the monument from the rav ages of tho relic hunters. Japan's modest plan for tho next nine, years Includes tho construction nnd equipment of a navy which shall equal in fighting capacity the com bined fleets of Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany and tho United States on the Pacific. A hamjult was given by tho Minis terial association of Youngstown, O., recently to a cumber of ministers of neighVoring towns. As a side dish Spanish onions were served. A resolu tion wasatonce offered that the onions should cot be eaten, thus censuring the course with which Spain is pursu ing with regard to the insurgents In Cuba. Tho resolution was adopted and no onions were eaten. The Brooklyn Eagle says: "When Europe learns to attend to its domestic affairs and to extend its influence and territory by peaceful and honorable measures it can accomplish more for Its own power and tho advancement of its alleged cause of clvilizition than it can by means of blood and pillage. Abyssinia could have been bought for half what has been spent id the vain attempt to conquer it." Tun quartennaster-?enernl of tho army has contracted with William II. Gross of Lee, Mass., for 10,000 head stones to mark the giaves of soldiers and sailois whose remains repose in national cemeteries. The headstones provided by the government are by no menus pretentious. Their average cost i'f late years has been about S2 apiece. The contract price for the coming year is 51. y" for each stone, being the low est rate at which they have ever been secured. A curious series of statistics has been published in Berlin, showing that the number of suicides committed in Ger many from 1SS1 to ISO'S, inclusive, was 105.327. The totals range from SJS7 in 1S81 to 10,0'JO in 1S93. Tho rate per head of the population was as high as 4C per 100,000 in fcaxc-Altenborg. and as low as 13 and llf per 100,000 in Uavaria and Alsace-Lorraine. The suicides are proportionately more nu merous in the Prussian auny than in any part of the empire, having been C5 per 100,000 in 1893. Mksst.s. h. E. Cooi.kv and Ishara Randolph, two distinguished civil en gineers, addressed the Rochester, N. Y., chamber of commerce recently an the subject of a ship canal from Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard. Mr. Cooley said tho ship canal project from Lake Erie to the ocean was entirely feasible. The route had not been fully determined upon, as yet, but ho thought, however, that it would be by way of Lake Ontario, thenco down tho Oswego and Mohawk valley to tho Hudson. Another routo was byway of Lake Champlain and the Hudson. State Senator Raines, of New York, In speaking of his bill for raising reve nue in the empire state, says: "The bill taxes tho seller of intoxicating liquors only nnd It will raise approxi mately 85,000,000 in revenue. Tho man ufacturer of liquors ought to be made to pay as much as the seller. Before I retire from my term as senator I hope not one dollar will have to be raised by direct taxation for stato purposes. Tho inheritance tax, the corporation tax, the excise tax and thti manufacturers' tax ought to bring in the Si 5,000,000 required to run tho state .government." Lieut. J. F. Thompson, chief of ord nance of the department of Missouri, recently told Chicago people how ut terly defenseless their city was if a war should break out between Great Britain and the United States. Ho said that the British nation Md 100 men-of-war which could pass through tho Welland canal into the lakes. Onco In Lake Erie, two or three of these vessels could, as things are at present, destroy tho great lake cIUcb. Anduoity was so well situated for destruction as Chicago. A gunboat or two off that city could, he 6aid, set -the city on fire. A JtECKKT report of the Now Jersey commission on penal laws is a valuable addition to the literature of the subject and is well worthy public attention. The feature of the report is tho recom mendation of the adoption of tho sen tence and system of probation. The theory of the first of these measures is to keep an offender against society and the law under restraint until It is safe for society to release him. Only when a competent authority pronounces him reformed will he be released, and ai it is plainly impossible to fix a time for such a reformation in ndvnnce, til' Jeriod depends upon the crlminnl.

Post master Franki Mapes, one of the best known democrats in tho state of Kan sas, committed suicide by shooting himself at his home, 715 Washington avenue, yesterday morning. The cause of his suicide was tho discovery of a shortage in his accounts with the gov ernment The discovery had just been made by Inspectors Sutton nnd Reld, of the post office department at Wash ington.

PHOTOGRAPHING THE VOICE. 1'lctareti of Human Vornl Notes the Newnt Mclentlflo Wonilrr. Wabiigton, March 10. Another wonderful discovery is announced to the world. This time it is not a European scientist, but nn American who makes the contribution to knowl edge. He is a professor of physics at Columbia college, New York, and his name is William Uallock. For a long time ho has been experimenting with a method, now at length perfected, of making pictures of musical sounds by means of the camera. Such perfect results are obtained that the voice of a tenor or soprano can be judged with absolute accuracy as to its quality and range without hearing it merely by inspecting a series of photographs. Prof. Uallock proposes to photograph a large number of the finest voices obtainable; also, to get as many more photographs of poor voices. By a comparative study of the two scries ho expects to bo able to reduce the peculiarities of a good voice to a basis of scientific under standing. Incidentally comes the In teresting question of articulate speech in man and the lack of it in beasts. OUR MILITARY STRENGTH. Cucle Sam Can Pat 0,107,091 Men In tlie Flelil on Short 7ntlcr.

St. Louis, March ta All tho lines in what is known as Central Traffic territory havo agreed to discontinue tho issuanco of interchangeable mile age tickets, and it is probable that their example will be followed by roads in other parts of the country.

Tho World to-day says it has made a poll of near ly every state iu the union and as a result predicts the nomination of Wil liam McKinley by the St. Louis convention. EFFORTLESS SPEECH. Ths Effect of Small Talk Upon Cerebral De terioration. How much actual cerebral deteriora tion is the result of effortless speech must bo a matter of speculation; of course more loquacity is unattended by proper cerebral exercise or intel lectual effort, and even if a variety of words be used, such are not the pro duct of healthy cerebration. Those who see much of the insano recognize under certain conditions the signifi cance of such volubility, for It is often the precursor of mania or other mental disturbances. It is rather the province of tho writer to show the actual invo lution that accompanies an improper or careless use of the speech centers i the apparently healthy person, than as an expression of brain disease. A number of polysyllabic words are used to express the disturbances of speech that follow the misuse of the mental and mechanical apparatus con cerned in its production. These include the transposition of words orsyllabllcs, the grammatical vices, or the exaggera tion of emotional speech. Under some circumstances the resulting disorders may closely resemble those due to actual structural disease of the brain, attended by disorganization of the speech centers; but usually the perver sion is functional, though obstinate, and bears the same relation to organic speech defects that hysteria or other functional nervous conditions do to real disease. Some of this morbid de rangement, when there is hyper-automatism, resembles certain well known forms of "cramp" due to the repetition of such acts as writing, or those of a limited kind among artisans or musicians, where a small group of muscles is the seat of spasm; and these forms are designated as writers' cramp, telegraphers' cramp, violinists' cramp, etc. Under such circumstances there is usually little participation of thought in the oft-repeated act, which becomes habitual, and the di recting power is of an unconscious kind. Tho so-cnlled "baby-talk" of silly people, the form of trivial conversation which consists in the use of diminu tives and is employed especially by young lovers or by those who for the first time stray into the devious and flowery paths of matrimony, are ex amples of this defect which supplants the vigorous and wholesome expres sion of genuine feeling. This condition of -affairs may sometimes amount to more than a mere eccentricity and indicates a real failure upon the part of the individual to keep his word symbols well in mind and in order.
