Permanent cirentation tn Washington three times larger than that of any ether paper im the city. As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medium tt has no competitor. Anticipations by the pocts of discoveries in science are nearly always more figures of speech, Deantiful and itaprossive as such and remarka- Ble ax unintended prophecies, but not to be ac- cepted as foreglimpscs of scientific facts. Such fs the expression of Puck in Midsummer Night's Dream when Oberon, King of the Foirios, sends him on a mission to bring him a eertain flower, “I'll put a girdle rousd aboat the earth in forty minutes.” The Puck of the telographand the cable has made good the prom- iso of Shakspere’s airy minion, no thanks, how- ‘ever, to the poct's knowledge or prescience of electricity and its bandmaiden arts. But such ® scholarly bard of an earlier day as Dante might well bo expected to know everything known in his age that could illustrate the sub- dime themes about which he discoursed in = spirit to prefigero modern culture. And so, turning curiously to the exile’s noble work “The Divine Comedy," many obscure fidbits of learning are found. Nor is this all Hitherto it is probable that men of Istters and men of science alike have altogether failed to seo in tho 25th cantoof the Purgatory, or second partof the Italian's great vision, evidence that he anticipate! in the rough by ‘more than three centuries Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood. His theory in the entire canto was derived from an Arabian whilosopher, his commentators say, but they fail to recognize = medical statement of ob- viously high import in his elaborate ‘lescrip- tion of the process of life and oven in the words “Blood . . . inthe heart derives effectual virtue, that informs the several human limbs, as being that which passcs through the veins itself to make them,” and other words pointing to the heart as the recognized seat of physical activity. Averrhoes, the most famous of Arabian philosophers, whose medical work, ‘the Colliget, seems to have been the authority for Dante's singular description, was born 1120—jast two centuries. lacking one year, be- fore Dante dicd—at Cordova, Spain, then the seat of culture and dominion of the Saracens, or Moors. The most remark- able thing about the whole matter is not that be should have discovered, as Dante an- nounced to Europe, the circulation of the blood through the heart and the governing power of ‘the heart in the system, but that such scholarly critics and popular writers as Matthew Arnold, such learned translators and annotators as Cary aud Longfellow, should have never suspected what a wonderful fact was slipping through their fingers. Perhaps in explanation it will be denied that either the philosopher or ‘the poet knew what he was talking about, be- cause he did not put into practice in the medical schools and hand down to us the full results of the theory stated. In that way sev- eral grand discoveries may have been ap- Propriated by later investigators. There is nothing to show that Harvey stole his any more than there is to show that Christopher Co- IJumbus stole bis laurels. In either case—the Ara- bian or the Norse—the discovery had been hid- denaway and forgotten. Still, it is very singular indeed that in the full blaze of 19th century science and culture the fact seems to be un- known that the discovery of the circulation of the blood in its outline was made in the 12th century in Moorish Spain and made known early 4n the 14th century in Italy. ————— The declaration last night of the pépular Meeting at Windsor, Canada, in favor of annex- ation to the United States does not voice Cana- dian sentiment. One swallow does not make a summer. But it is indicative probably of an increasing sentiment in favor of organic union ‘with the great republic. When Canada is ready for this important step it is probable the United States will be ready for her to take it. Until ‘then it is better to leave the agitation to the Canadian people. Meantime they will do well to reverse the result of the late elections, and ‘the sigus indicate that they will do so at the first opportunity. —<\re—___ “Winfield Scott, one of the great generals ‘that America has produced,” says the Philadel- phia Press, “is honored by no monument worthy the name.” What! Scott circle and statue, on Massachusetts avenue, with all the suxiliary attractions, not worthy the name? ‘The Scott building and statup in the beautiful park of our Soldiers’ Home, which is itself the grandest kind of monument to the general who founded it, not worthy the name? Wait until you bave seen them before deciding. ———_++- ‘Was there so much criminal negligence lying around loose in the Park place matter that the grand jary was unable to fix iton aay person Or persons in particular? There was more than enough, the public think, to go around, and therefore the grand jury should have ladled it out as near impartially as possible.

But for a city that prosents 80 many opportunities for “holding up” a way- forer the foot-pad operations are remarkably rare.
