When Wr. Birney Expects Howgate. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that while he had not been definitely informed he was of the impression that Howgate would leave New York-some time this evening for this city. Mr. Birney explained that he so believed because of a dispatch from New York this afternoon. Howgate, he said, would be brought here in the custody of a deputy United States marshal from the New York office. It he arrived tonight or tomorrow morn- ing. Mr. Birrey said that the captured fugitive would at once be taken before the Criminal Court and committed to jail to await a trial.

Fearful Odors of the Laboratory and How They Are Made. “Bad smells are a drawback to my branch of science,” said a chemist to a writer for The Star. “But we soon get used to them. Berzelius, who discovered the element called ‘selenfum,’ once tried the experiment of permitting a bubble of pure hydrogen selenide gas to enter his nostril For days afterward he was not able to smell strong ammonia, the olfac- tory nerves being temporarily paralyzed. “Compounds of sulphur generally are dis- tinguished by their korrible cdors. I knew a@ student in Berlin who was wor ing up some ef these compounds, going every day from the laboratory to take lunch at a neighboring restaurant. If he picked up a newspaper there to read the next person Who happened to attempt the perusal of that newspaper was apt to lose his appetite immediately. It was the same way with anything else that he touched, so that the management of the eating house was obliged to ask him to withdraw his custo. “If sulphar compounds are bad in this re- spect, those of selenium are worse, whl those of tellurtum are most dreadful of all. . A physician told me once that a lady who Was a patient of his refuved to take an ab- solutely necessary rest because she was so fond of being always on the go in evciety. He gave her a pill containing a small quantity of tellurium compound, and her breath was affected by it to such an extent that she was not able to appear in public for a month. She never guessed what the trouble was. “Speaking of ammonia, you probably know that nearly all of the commercial supply of that article is obtained nowadays from the works which produce illuminating was. The coal gas as it comes from tie retort is passed throush water to purify it. The ammonia it contains is retained by the water. Ammonia is a large item of the revenue yielded by gas works. In its free state it fs a gas, of course. “One gallon of water will dissolve 1,148 gallons of ammonia gas, at a temperature of zero. The strength of the ammonia you buy depends on the amount of the gas it contains in solution. As you have doubt- less observed, the so-called household am- monia of the dry goods and apothecary shops is a_very weak article, often not worth the 5 or 10 cents a bottle paid for it. lenium gas has the odor of putrid horseradish. The element is related to sul- peer. It occurs in a pure state in cavi- ies in Vesuvian lavas. It is found in cop- per and in iron pyrites; also occasionally in meteoric iron. Its only practical use is for experiments in certain phenomena of light. Light changes its electrical resist- ance, so that it is possible,to measure the intensity of a beam of light by the extent to which the electrical resistance of a bar velenium is affected. “It is on this peculiarity of the substance that Graham Bell's ‘photophone’ is based. That Instrument has not proved of practi- cal value, but some interesting experiments Were made with it a few years ago in Washington. Messages were transmitted from the top of one building to the top of another half a mile away by sounds pro- duced by light, a bar of selenium being connected with the receiver of a tele- phone.” Sage, Suicide of a Losing Speculator.

Phtiladelphi: Determined to Re- trieve Their Late Defeat. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., September 25.— The eleven gentlemen of Philadelphia who ‘stepped out on the grassy turf at Mannhelm this morning for their scond international cricket contest with Lord Hawke's English team were the most resolute-looking lot of cricketers who ever bowled ball or wielded bat. They seemed determined to wipe out the ignominy of their recent defeat at the hands of the Britons. They realized that they started in last week's match with a surplus of confidence and a deficit of stay- ing power, and the rude shock with which they were enlightened on that occasion served to fortify them today with an extra supply of caution. Ever since the last match they, as well as their English cousins, have been doing hard work at practice on the Mannheim field, which is generally conceded to be bet- ter than that at Haverford. Only one change had been made in the makeup of the American team since last week's play, Harry I. Brown being sub- stituted for W. W. Noble. From a social standpoint this match is expected to be the most notable event of the season. The space for coaches was filled today by well-known whips, and ev- ery seat in the grand stand has been sold. Even the roof of the grand stand, which has never before been used, has been util- ized fer this occasion. The coin was tossed at 11:15, and Lord Hewke's luck did not desert him. He called it correctly and elected to bat first. Play began at 11:30. When play was stopped for lunch at 1:30 the Englishmen had made cighty runs. Lord Hawke and Lucas were not out. The former has made ten runs and the latter thirty-two. ——— ARGUING THE DEBS CASE. ‘The President Said to Have Indorsed the Prosecution.

By Its Provisions They Are Releved of the Ret: by President Harrison. iatory Policy Adopted The representatives of three of the re- publics, Venezuela, Colombia and Haiti, take considerable satisfaction out of the fact that while the new tariff law in this country abrogates the reciprocity treaties between this country and Brazil, Nicaragua, Salvador, Guatemala and other countries, it has the reverse effect as to them, as it does away with t retaliatory policy which President Harrison announced by proclama- tion against Colombia, Venezuela and Haiti. ‘This proclamation was issued March 1 18v2, be e the three countries had not, up to that time, entered into reciprocity ar- rangements. It suspended the free list on sugar, coifee, hides and molasses, and es- tablished a duty of 3 cents per pound on coffee, 1 to 2 cents per pound on sugar, 4 cents per gallon on molasses and 1 1-2 cents per pound on hides, Effects Upon Exports. These rates have since applied to only these three southern republics, while their neighboring republics enjoyed free entrance to this country on these goods. It had the effect of cutting off most of the exports of the three countries of the United States, but it did not result in forcing them to yield to a reciprocity agreement. The Haytian sales to this country reached $2,200,000 before the retaliation, but after it they fell to $17,000. The Colombian exports fell from $2,000,000 to The Venezuela exports fell 0) to $3,000,000, Heavy Trade Will Result. It practically cut off these countries from shipping coffee, sugar and hides to this country, as they could not pay the duties and compete successfully with their neigh- bors, who paid no duties. This discrimina- tion is now removed, and Colombia, V enéz- uela and Haiti are restored to the same po- sition occupied by other southern repub- lcs. It promises to revive the former ex- tensiv> trade these couatries had with the United States, and it also terminates the irritations that have arisen out of the re- taliattion and the unsuccessful efforts to negotiate reciprocity treaties. - ree Parker, Bridget & C Anniversary.

The arrest of Ada Cross, ner mother and others, the result of the clever detective work of Detective Horne, has clecred up a rember of robberies reported te the police during the past few weeks. All day yester- day and today citizens have velled at po- lice headquarters and identified property recovered through these arrests, showing that Ada had committed quite a number of sneak jobs. This afterncon the cases were called in Judge Miller's court for trial and Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney said he would only ask for the trial of the cases growing out of the robbery of Hezekiah Cawood’s $1,250. Ada plead guilty to the charge and was held for the grand jury. Rebecca Cross, the mother, and Hettie Cross, a younger daughter, were tried for receiving the stolen money. They were held for the srand jury, and Judge Miller fixed the bond at $2,000 as to each defendant. <= HILL'S FIRST SPEECH. It Will Be Delivered as Usual at Brooklyn. ALBANY, N.

The democratic state convention of Ne- braska Wednesday night split on the ques- tion of fusion with the populists. The fusionists nominated this ticket: Governor, Judge Holcomb; lieutenant gov- ernor, J. N. Gatfin; secretary of state, F. R. Ellick; treasurer, C. A. Linkhard; attor- ney general, D. 8S. Carrier; auditor, J. C. Hillman; commissioner of public lands and buildings, S. J. Kent; superintendent of public instruction, W. A. Jones. Holcomb, Gatlin, Carrier, Kent and Jones are populist nominees. The regular convention then ad- journed. The bolters yesterday reorganized into a separate convention and nominated the fol- lowing as a straight democratic ticket: For governor, P. D. Sturdevant; lieutenant gov- ernor, R. E. Dunphy; secretary of state, D. T. Rolfa; auditor, Otta Hauman; treasurer, Luke Dridenthal; attorney general, John H. Ames; commissioner of public lands and buildings, Jacob Bigler; superintendent pub- lic instruction, Milton Doolittle. The bolters adopted a platform favoring a gold basis, but in other respects similar to that of the fusionists, which demands the free coinage of silver. The straightout democrats chartered a special train for Lincoln and filed their ticket with the secretary of state in advance ef the fustonists, Under the Australian ballot there can only be one “democratic” ticket voted for and the fusion ticket will have to be filled “by petition’ unless the action of the day is overruled by the courts. eee PREPARING TERRAPIN. A Recipe Which ts Recommended by m Eastern Shoreman, As to the killing and cooking of terrapin, an Eastern Shoreman to the manner born writes to The Star as follows: The killing is a work of art. It being a necessity that the terrapin should ‘bleed before boiling, and as the vision ts mgst acute, great in- genuity ts required. ,When warned of danger the head is instantaneously drawn into the shell—the ‘hecH is elastic, and has the power of complettly absorbing the head. Thus patience and heat alone will accomplish the result, The cook stands alert behind, with /raised fork or spit to catch the favorabl# moment when the in- tense heat renders it tonger impossible to defend its Mfe—the hotter the stove the sconer will this be done. I have seen the feet almost burned off. first. As soon as the head protrudes, ever so little, give the fatal stab with ome band, and cut the throat with the other.; Let it bleed, then throw into boiling water and remain until the lower shell is. easily removed. Every part of the terrapin ix edible except the sand bag and gall, and a little of the gall adds to the flavor. The liver should, not be cut up. but preserved as whole as possible. Be careful of the green fat, of which there are only two or three pieces, but which of itself is worth the price of the terrapin, however costly it may be. No food of the gods could ever vie with it. In preparing for the stew let the quarters be whole—no mincing; no spice; no mustard; no hen's eggs; only plenty of cayenne pepper, a little salt, butter ad Ubitum, and a pint of thick cream to each terrapin; more if large and full of eggs, which should never be broken, except with the mouth of the epicure, even when old enough for the white cuticle to have formed. Then dust a Kttle flour from a dredge box to give con. sistency to the dressing; let it barely come to a boll once, and boicl! the daintiest dish that mortal could Invite. Wine spould not be used with creat; one or the other, never both; no nutmeg; nothing to destroy the fine flavor and aroma which has no com- pare. The cooking of terrapin with pastry should be considered, if not a high crime, at least a misdemeanor, under the law; but this is only done by those who would doubt- less prefer “meat and greens,” if also caught in their selnes. Let all who can afford $75 a dozen for terrapin this winter use the foregoing pe, and they will never regret the cost. a DOCTORS AND THEIR FEES. The Profession is Not One in Which Large Fortunes Are Otten Made. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. “Although I never practiced medicine,” said Isaac L. Morrison of New York, who was at the Lindell yesterday, “I walked the hospitals when young, and believe that I am still entitled to add the letters M. D. to my name. While serving as assistant phy- sician at one of the city hospitals of New York I came to the conclusion that there was no money in medicine for me, and ac- cordingly transferred my attention to com- merce, Like a good many other young men I was attracted to the profession by hear- ing of fees of $1,000 and upward being paid for operations which only occupied a few minutes, When, however, I came to look into the question I modified my views. As a matter of fact, no doctor, as far as is known, has ever acquired a fortune much in excess of $1,500,000, and statisticians say that there are not ten millionaire physi- cisns in the world. Dr. Biundell, the cele- brated English doctor, died worth $1,500,000, and Sir William Gull, the man who saved the life of the Prince of Wales, earned enough to leave about a similar sum. There is no other case on record that I have ever heard of of a man in the profession acquir- ing a fortune of this magnitude, and it must also be understood, as nine-tenths of successful physicians die in harness, they seldom spend a large proportion of their in- come, and hence ggt very little practical ad- vantage from the very large fees sometimes heard of.” es — Base Bald) Notes, Tom Daly and Shinfle have been traded to Louisville by Btooklyn in part payment for Grim and Pfeffer.

A complete re-examination of the pine Jands of the Chippewa reservation in Min- resota is now being conducted by the In- terior Department, and the returns received show many discrepancies which occurred in the first examination. More than five years ago a law was passed for the dis- pesition of the last great body of pine land in Minnesota. All of the other great tracts in that siate and in Michigan and Wis- consin as well have passed into the hands of private individuals or lumbering corpora- tious. In northern Minnesota there was a large tract of pine owned by the Chippewa indians, A bill was passed to sell the lands, and it provided for the examination of the lands by appraisers, who were to estimate the amount vf pine on each tract. nsiderable time has been consumed in eyimg the land. Since then an tion was ordered. Charges were 1 the th examinatic not a Secret Smith di the aminers, and the new examination gressing, showing that the pine estir vary considerably in their judgment as to the amount of pine on the various tracts. After the second examination is completed there will be still a large amount of timber to be estimated. Indians Must Wait for Their Money. The law provides that all this preliminary work must be done before any of the pine can be sold. The money resulting from the sale of the land is to draw interest for the benefit of the Chippewas. But at the rate of progress now being made it will be five years before the sale can be commence. An effort has been made to have the lands already examined and appraised sold and bills have been introduced in Congress for that purpose. It is probable that the effort will not be pressed now until the burned pine in the northwest is disposed of, as that will have a tendency to overstock the mar- ket and result in a small price for the land. Yet the officials of the Interior Department recegnize that the final disposition of the land may be long delayed and that it will be necessary to sell some of thc land soon, There is a commission operating among the Chippewas endeavoring to concentrate them and allot lands to them. As the enure expense that is being in- curred in examination, re-examination and the commission, comes out of the proceeds to be derived from the sale of the lands, the more intelligent Indians are becoming impatient and alarmed, and feel that their money is going very fast, and that they are receiving no benefit from the sale of lands made e years ago. Pleading for More Progress. There have been protests of this kind made to the Interior Department, and the officials have been urged to make more progress, Already Secretary Smith has given orders to the commisston to close up its business with the least possible delay, as the im- pression is that it can accomplish nothing more. No method has been devised for the disposition of the examiners or hurrying the work. The attempt to sell the land meets with some opposition, because the grant to Minnesota for school lands has not yet been satisfied, and the state is entitled to in- demnity of two sections in each township for all land included in the reservation. —-e-—_—_ SOME POSTAL STATISTICS. Growth of the Money Order System and Its Losing Operatio: The anniversary of the establishment of the meney order system of the United States, thirty years ago, takes place on November 1, At the beginning of the first year the total number of money order of- fices in the whole country was 419, and their transactions amounted, collectively, to only $2,000. At the present time the num- ber of money order offices 1s 17,957, and the total number of such orders issued in a yeir amount to 153,000,000, The amount of money transferred amounts to $130,000,000 a year and in addition to this sum $25,000,- 000 more changes hands in a year through foreign money orders. Eighteen million dollars a year is sent out of the United States in the form of money orders to other countries, and $7,000,000 a year comes into the United States through remittances from foreign countries. The net loss of the United States from this source is $11,000,- (OO a year. The remittances and receipts to Canada about offset each other—$1,500,- 000 each way. Trance and Germany send back about one-third of what they receive; so do Switz- erland and Austria. Australia and the islands of the Pacitic, and more especially Hawalt, remit more money to the United States in money orders than they take out of it, but the great discrepancies are to be found in Ireland, Italy and Scandinavia. The remittances to Ireland are six times as much as the receipts from that country. To Sweden and Norway is sent in a year $2,000,000; from them comes $200,000. To Italy is sent $1,500,000; from Italy comes $70,000, The transactions of the money or- der department, which are an important feature of the post office business of the country, show a profit each year. About $1,000,000 is received in fees, and the whole expenses amount to about $500,000 a year. It is a peculiarity of the finances of the Post office that as the business increases in volume the profits of operation advance in even greater ratio, and but for the exist- ence of a vast number of petty, unpro- ductive post offices, scattered throughout the south and far west, the business of the department, instead of entailing a small icss, would yield a very considerable profit. The republican national convention in 1885, in Chicago, declared for one-cent postage. a ee If He Was Rightly Informed. From the Boston Herald. I heard a story the other day of that now rare official, an old-fashioned clergyman. He ts settled over no church, but having been for a long time in cne parish he has performed the marriag+ ceremony for two generations, and baptized as many, and is always asked to tender the last rites to the dead, or, at least, to assist in that solemn office. He is always very comforting to the mourners, for the departed 1s sure of hea- ven. But as he grew older his prayers grew ionger and tiresome. One day the mother of a little family died suddenly, and the bereaved husband sent for their regular minister, and said: “I must invite old Dr. Blank, for he mar: ried us, and my wife loved him, but I can’t endure his remarks. I want you tu give him a small part of the service to save his feelings.” The paster thought he must give his senior the prayer, but judge of his chagrin when the old gentleman, after a fulsome panegyric of the deceased, said: “And, O Lord, who will take the mother's place with these dear little children, two of them, if we are rightly informed?” — Time of Day From St. Nicholas, There are no public schools in Nepaul. The sons of princes and nobles—even our young king, while he is yet only a boy— are taught at home by the guru, or house- hold priest, who is supposed to be also a pundit, or very learned man. Later, the young men of rank are sent io Patna, Benares, or Calcutta, where they jearn to speak English and to wear English clothes, and to tell the time of day by an English clock; for in Nepaul time is measured by means of a copper vessel, with a small hole in the bottom, set afloat on a tank or pool. Sixty times a day this kettle fills and sinks, and every time it sinks a gong is struck; so that the day is di “gongs” or “bells” aboard ship. The poor Bho or the Newar women who make pottery in the fields say that the day is begun when they can count the tiles on the rocf of a house, er when they n see the hairs on the back of a man’s hand by holding it up against the light. —2ee Treasury Receipts.

One stock after another is selected for hammer- ing, and the only difficulty thus far has been in the selection. Once the security is identi- fied the reaction is assured. The bears, however, are working in a narrow radius, and while that radius represents nearly all the market worthy of the name there are other securities which could effectually with- stand all attacks if earnings and bright prospects are considered. The report of earnings made by the Pennsylvania system for last month shows a handsome increase over the same period of last year and an excess of nearly $100,000 over August, 1892. Other eastern roads are expected to furnish satisfactory reports for the balance of the year and should soon elicit some support from the local bull element. The western situation is not improved materially by later intelligence, and all additional evidence has a tendency to sup- port the present attitude of the bears. Ali things corsidered, stocks are likely to work around in a narrow and irregular groove until the present short interest is liqui- dated. Prior to the happening of this event lower prices than those recorded today are probable. A broader market would mean a higher one, but professionaiism is too firmly intrenched to be easily overthrown. Burlington vas freely sold by prominent bear operators for a loss of 11-2 per cent, and St. Paul, on similar selling, lost 1 per cent. The latter stock has held remark- ably well in the face of severe drives else- where in the Granger group, but activity on the short side has merely been delayed and not overlooked. Rock Island and Northwest each lost 1-2 per cent on moder- ate transactions. Western Union was de- pressed 11-8 per cent on room selling. Sugar was depressed 11-2 per cent on early trading to Ss 1-2—a decline of twenty- six points from the high figures following the legislative tiumph a few weeks ago. Inside interests show no signs of disap- proval at the uninterrupted decline. It will be utilized next December as convincing proof of the lack of protection given the trust under the new schedule. Chicago Gas was freely sold by certain inside interests for a loss of 21-2 per cent. Traders soon detected the source of the selling and contributed to the decline. General Electric lost 15-S per cent in sympathy with the industrial inaction. Distillers was improved fractionally for no special reason, as the mystery surround- ig the company is as yet unexplained. The weekly report of the associated banks will show a less of about $1,900,000 to the banks through subtreasury opera- tions. The demand for currency from the south and west continues, the telegraphic transfer of money to New Orleans being largely responsible for the above ‘oss.

HAZED TH An Experience of Pri Me Was at From the Chicago ‘Tribume. “It is not generally known that Azuma, a brother of the Emperor of Japan, was a cadet at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis,” said an ex-naval officer yes- terday. “Our government has for many years accorded to foreign nations the priv- lege of sending, at their own expense, rep- resentative youths to this school, and sev- eral Japanese have been graduated from it, notable among whom are Admiral Matz- mulla end Capt. Katz, both of them dis- tinguished officers of the navy of their country: “White Prince Azuma was at Annapolis a funny incident happened, and it aptly iMustrates the readiness with which for- eign youth assimilate Americgn ideas, even when directly antagonistic to the prejudices and traditions of their ow:. native land. “When Azuma reached the academy—thir was twenty-two years ago—he was then lad of about sixteen, end was accompanie¢ by a valet, this being the first and only in. stance in which a naval cadet was al.owet an attendant, and special permission hafi to be obtained from Washington. Matz- mulla had preceded him by two years and Katz by one year, and both were highly esteemed by the officers as well by thelr schoolmates. “Hazing ts a fine art at the Naval Acad- emy, and third-class men are very attentive to newcomers after evening ‘taps.’ But by common consent the Japanese studen' were looked on in the light of guests and were spared the ignominy of dangling in baskets from the outside of windows, roost- ing in trees, grinding imaginary hand organs, and other disagreeable tasks, from which no American student was exempt. Hence, Matzmulla and Katz knew of these episodes only as they were told them by their less fortunate fellow-classmen. “Besides, the small size and delicate ap- pearance of the modest and bashful prince appea'ed to the sympathetic side of the cadets, who, indeed, had a vague sort of impression that the sacredness of the mi- kado’s person—it was more revered in those days than now—extended to all his family, and that possibly our home government would visit condign punishment upon any one who dared to invade the chamber of Azuma without special invitation from that prince. “Katz was a member of the class which, according to the conditions of the school, Was privileged to harass, perplex, tease and annoy the class of which his illustrious prince was a member. Having been at the school an entire year he had learned much about the freedom of America and the ab- sence of caste. True, he had escaped haz- ing, but be never could appreciate the cour- tesy, and would have been better pleased had he been served as the rest. He was a jolly, rollicking fellow, who could enjoy a joke as keenly as any member of his class, and he joined in all the pleasures of the school, those that were as well as the legitimate. “One night, soon after the arrival of the Prince, his velet rushed frantically into the quarters of the officer of the day, and, with horror depicted in every line of his homely face, declared that ‘My Lord Katz was tak- ing the most unseemly liberties with the person of his august master, Prince Azu- ma.” “Hastening toward Azuma’s rooms, this is what the officer heard as he drew near the “Oh, thunder! irreverently came from the lips of Katz. “This isn’t Japan, and if you don't kick higher and keep up that whis- Uing I'll singe your hair for yor “The officer saw Azuma executing high steps, with puckered lips, encouraged to this action by a lighted candle in the hand of lively Katz. The latter bore without complaint the punishment that is meted out to detected ‘hazers,’ but he indignantly Protested to his fellow students against what he termed the ‘rank injustice of caste distinction in a free government.” “Azuma’s health became very poor, and he only remained at the academy for a few months; but he sojourned in this country jong enough to pick up sundry besetments, which I am afraid still cling to him. Un- iike Matzmulla and Katz, he loves pleasures of the court better than glories of the sea.” ———-e0#e- NEARLY A MILE IN DEPTH. The Deepest Mining Shaft in ¢ World Said to Be in Michigan. From the Chicago Recon’. Less than a month ago the deepest min- ing shaft in the world reached the copper lode in the Tamarack mine. Shaft No. 3, which is now a trifle over 4,200 feet in depth, was begun three years ago, and reached the vein on August 4, at a depth of 4,155 feet. A trip down three-quarters of a mile into the bowels of the earth ts a decided novelty. Entering the cage, which fs an iron elevator fitted with all modern safety appliances, and hoisted or lowered by an inch and a half wire cable passing over a great drum in the engine houre near the shaft, the signal is given to lower. A separate cage is always used for carrying men, and the rate of speed is less than where rock ts hoisted or timber lowered in the other compart- ments. The trip requires five minutes, and, as the cage sinks at a rate of speed equal to that of the swiftest elevator in a modern sky-scraper, the dark walls of rock, on which a faint light is thrown by the and oil lamps of the party, seem to be swiftly shooting upward, while the cage is standing still. At last the bottom is reached. A dozen miners, covered with xrime and dust, are busily at work. Power drills, fed by com- pressed air coming almost a mile through iron pipes, are tapping the rock petulantly. Men are shoveling the rock blasted from the lode into the cars, which are trundied into the cages and holsted to the surface. The candles throw weird shadows, and as the reflection comes to the mind of the mortal from earth’s surface that he ts deep- er down under the earth's crust than man ver penetrated before, the desire to ascend to fresh alr and sunshine is apt to come uppermost A few minutes show all that is to be seen, for No. 3 shaft has just reached the lode, and the extensive system of drifts, cross- cuts and winzes existing in other shafts of the mine has been but begun down here. The work is all planned for many years to nd the force of compressed air and cle of man will transfer those plans from the paper, where they were the busy brain’ of th ings in the living r« " with the same pow ing per- which causes the falling drop of rin the course of long ages to wear ‘ay the stone.
