The Official Paper of San Juan County.
THURSDAY. DEC. 8. 1898.
A WONDERFUL (UlUt
Mr. Alfred Ilussol Wallace, a dis
tinguished scientist, fa a recently pub
lished volume, in which he reviews,
from-the scientific point of view, some
of the most remarkable incidents of
the century, prefaces his detailed con
sideration of. these incidents with a
comparative summary of great discov
eries, which sustains the estimate oi
the century just closing as by all odds
the most momentous.
Of inventions and practical applica
tions of science of the first importance,
Mr. Wallace credits no less than thir
teen to the present century. These
are: Railways, steam navigation, elec
tric telegraphs, the telephone, friction
matches, gas lighting, electric lighting,
photography, the phonograph, the
Rontgen rays, spectrum analysis, the
use of antiseptics in surgical opera
tions.
The eighteenth century yielded but
one discovery worthy to be ranked
with these, namely, the development
of the steam engine; the seventeenth
century but one, the telescope; the six
teenth century none; the fifteenth one,
printing; the fourteenth one, the mari
iner's compass; and then, back to pre
hietoric times, only two others, the Iv-
dian or Arabic numerals aud alpha
betical writing. Here arc only six
discoveries, according to Mr. Wallace,
in all previous centuries, to be reckoned
as of the first rank, in comparison with
the thirteen of the present century.
A similar comparison of theoretical
discoveries show twelve of the first
rank in the present century, as com
pared with eight antecedent to this
century.
The Philidelphia Post recently gave
& careful computation of the enormous
cost of maintaining the defensive sys
tems of the six principal nations of
Europe during the fiscal year 1897-S,
the aggregate being $806,287,549. rt
now calls attention to a comparison of
some army and navy expenditures
with those for educational purposes.
Taking the three most advanced na
tions of Europe, it appears that Great
Britain annually spends upward of
$200,000,000 for its defense to about
$50,500,000 for education; Gem any up
ward of $165,000,000 for defense to $60,
--000,000 for education; and France
$182,000,000 for defense to $39,500,000
for education. Contrasts with the
United States, in one sense, are unfair,
for till now we have had no occasion
for large defensive expenditures, but it
is interesting to note that our average
appropriations for defense are $83,500,
-000 to $184,000,000 for education. We
not only spend more for education than
the other three nations combined, but
more than either France or Germauy
does for defense, and nearly as much
as Great Britain expends for that pur
pose.
In response to a joiut resolution of
congress approved iv 1894, Carroll D.
Wright, United States commissioner
of labor, has recently completed what
will doubtless be accepted by students
of sociology as the most lucid and de
tailed exposition extant of the relation
of machinery to hand labor. Every
new machine set up displaces a certain
ainouut of hand labor, and investiga
tors have been working for years to
determine how many persons are forced
aside by each new machine, and how
far mechanical work destroys or injures
work hitherto done by manual labor.
After studying nearly 700 articles in
which machine and hand labor could
be contrasted, Commissioner Wright
concludes that wages have constantly
increased since the factory system was
established; that under the machine
method there is increased demand for
labor, and that there has been a iarge
increase in the number of persons re
quired for the production of the articles
considered, in order to meet present
demands, beyond that necessary to
meet the demands under the old sys
tem whic employed hand labor.
The annual report of General Alger
as secretary of war is notably free from
any utterances which can be construed
|n any way as attempts at personal vin
dication or replies to vicious newspaper
charges of maladministration of the
war department. It is a broad and
comprehensive review of the recent
war and the work of the department
in connection with it. In view of the
many and serious critcisims upon the
sickness and mortality in the army
alleged to have been due to inadequate
or inicompetent medical care, insuffi
cient supplies and lack of proper sani
tary precautions, the following para
graph is of special interest:
, "The deaths la the army from May
1 to October 1, including killed, died of
wounds and of disease, were 2,910, the
smallest death rate recorded of any
Rrmy in history, a remarkable fact
wheii it is considered that over 50 000
pf our troops, born and reared in the
temperate zone, were campaigning in
tropical climates, subject to rain and
heat almost unprecedented."
An interesting feature of recent rail
road financiering is the placing of
mortgages and low-interest gold bonds
for extraordinary long periods. One
coruoration has given a mortgage for
$50,000,000 to secure 4 per cent bonds
running for 475 years, another has
created a mortgage of $172,000,000 for
the term of 100 years, and several
others have negotiated similar aecom
odatious for sums ranging from $40,
--000,000 to ?175,000,000, at rates of from
?,\ to 4 per cent, all for 100-year periods.
It is estimated that the aggregate sum
involved in these long-time bonds is
upward of $1,400,000,000. Iv general,
these bonds are issued for the purpose
of retiring others bearing a higher rate
of interest.
The peace commissioners at Paris
are evidently taking all needful pre
cautions to prevent prostration from
overwork. Joint sessions of two hours
a day are reported and "no real pi»
gress made." Paris is not a slow town
and it is proper of course that our dis-
tinguished commissioners should make
the most of their opportunities to take
it in. Whitelaw Reid lived there for
several years and he can show the boys
around. He once told the writer that
his entire salary as American minister
there, $17,500 a year, was not enough
to pay his house rent.
Sheep values in the East are about
50 cents per 100 pounds better than a
year ago in the higher grades. Prime
native wethers are selling in New York
near $4.70, and good to choice as fully
$4.40, prime western sheep at $4.55,
and fair at about $4.30. The top notch
for spring lambs is $6, poorer ranging
downward to $4.75.
There is a large foreign demand for
apples. This fruit is very scarce and
dear in Germany this year, and the
product of France and Austria is poor.
The Albemarle Pippins, the Newton,
Baldwin and other varieties that bear
long transportation, bring good price 3
if well selected and packed.
. The custom house receipts at the
ports in the military department of
Santiago for the month of October ag
gregated nearly $100,000.
The Kidney Complexion.
The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with "Kidney Complexion."
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer* from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus
tion and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until almost too late, because the first
symptoms are so like mild sickness that
they do not think they need a medicine
or a doctor until they find themselves
sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build
up and stringthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kid
ney-poisoned blood, clear their complex
ion and soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar,
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues ot this great discovery,
Swamp-Root, by sending your address to
Dr. Kilmer & C!o., Binghamton, N. V.,
for sample bottle and a book that tells all
about it, both sent to you absolutely free
by mail. When writing kindly mention
that you read this liberal ofter in The
