The magultUde of the financial opera- tions of the newspaper is turning journal- ism upside down. There are stili great editors whose personalities make the suc- cess of their organs, but, always few, the number of them has not increased with the multiplication of newspapers, and even where they dominate they have to leave to others the mass of detail that has accumulated under and about the editorial chair. If the editor is the owner and has business capacities, he is attracted down stairs to the counting room. If he is 011- oient in er,eoutive ability, he has to engage a man who, has it and the requirements are such that the business manager, if fit, is likely to have a personality of his own so strong indeed that he will demand a share in the property and the, profits and the policy. Then, too, the old editors die. Their heirs, seldom inheriting the brains with the business. turn it over to a financial manager to maintain it for the Income he can produce. ' If there is trio heir and the property is sold, the price is so high that business men who have become capitalists In other businesses, not writers, are best able to acquire control. J.

The statement by a southern Kansas paper tb;tt a negro resides in Bourbott county who has attained the age of 147 years recalls a recant statement by the London Spectator that the oldest living creature in the world occupies a place in the London Zoological garden. It is a giant tortoise ,neighing more than a ton and has a record going back 150 years. How much longer it has lived no one knows. Commenting on the long life lived by this tortoise and by others, The Spectator gives us the following interest - Ing dissertation: "The structure of the tortoises contrib- utes a large share to their pro -eminence in length of life. Their bodies are spared the whole of that exhausting process of col- lapse and expansion which we call breath - Ing., The cruel wear and tear. of this in- cessant motion, involving .work of lungs, muscles, ribs and air passages, unnoticed in health, but one of the meet distressing facts revealed by illness, does not fall on the happy tortoise. His shell, backplate and breastplate alike, Js as rigid as a piece of concrete, He sucks in air by making a vacuum with his tongue and swallows it like water, the reservoir tustmd of a stom- ach being his capacious lungs. In addi- tion to this enormous saving of energy, the tortoise enjoys two other, structural advantages. He has no teeth to decay, break, get out of order and ultimately starve him to death, like those of an old horse or a broken toothed rabbit. Instead he has sharp horny edges to his mouth, which do not break or get out of order. And, lastly, there is his impenetrable shell. In reference to this, size is of a real advan- tage, for, though the small tortoise may, live for centuries in bishops' gardens, they have their enemies in the outer world. Adjutant storks swallow them whole and digest them, shell and all, and In Califor- nla the golden eagle carries them up to a height and lets them fall on the rocks, thereby smashing their shells, as the Sioil- ian eagle was trying to do when he drop - pod the tortoise on the skull of Xechylus, but when a tortoise grows to the weight of 200 pounds there is no living creature which could injure it in any way. As it can swim it drown can of lir r n Its ribs are so constructed as to be little liable to frac- , ture, and its interior is so arranged that it can fust for long periods, and has an in- ternal reservoir of water, though it is nat- urally rather a thirsty animal. Charles Ds win, when among the glnnttortolsesof the Galapagos islands, saw the newly hal hd:a noun m Cw lett off b buzzurdl s young Y , bub t e full grown anala seemed beyond d the chance of any danger. He surmised that their deaths, when such took place, where only due to accidents, such its fall- , ing over preciprees, and the inhabitants of the Islands corroborated this conclusion." While this description of the tortoise is entertaining the chief intereat,will revert back to the apparently well founded claim that 150 years is the age of the oldest liv- ing thing on earth. What a brW span the Almighty has allotted to his creatures in a world that rolls on forever! -Kansas City Jourua;l• _ Bunkoed. "It was on one of my early trips," said the conductor.

Cycles and Cycling PART 1 It is early yet for the individual rider to decide upon his next year's "wheel," but for weeks past the manuf wturers have been busy all over the world elaborating and perfecting the altera- tions and improvements In their r e- spective '98 models. In many cases these are were alterations skilfully ad- ded to induce the unwary customer to exchange his (or bet-) well -tried steed for a newer one, paying, of course, a handsome premlum for so doing. But to._he credit of the cycle industry, this iss not always,- or even generally the case.. Perfect as people have imagined the manufacture to be of the beantnful product of mechanical skill, which has so recently taken such a strong hold upon our civilization and which has become a necessary feature of out every clay life, yet there are some even radical changes for next season, Beginning at the tires, each individ, ual can have his own taste fully cater•• ed to -double -tube, single -tube, plain, ribbed, webbed or pebbled have now all been brought to a high patch of -ver. fectIoD. Now we hape a tubeless tire, being a flat brad of good rubber tire• cloth which flts like the outer case of some double tubes, except that the two inner edges overlap and keep the air in by their ownpressure. Of course the devotees of this tire can see ne merit in any other, in fact it is the quickest, most resilient and least punt. tureable, &c. But so say the double• tubeelaves. and likewise the single. tube wor.hippers. The tires, too, are Englisb, American and Canadian in make, and we are glad. and indeed proud to say that some of our Cana• dean tires are "scorching" fast into a tip-top reputation. Another part of the rubber shod steed upon which there has been just as much difference of opinion is the saddle, and here again out- Canada,the land of the Maple Leaf, has come tc the front in no uncertain way. Can. ads and things Canadian we should be proud of for the sake of our self -re• spect, but how much easier this is when real success has been attained, For some time cur good country has been rising steadily in the world's opinion. Her statesmen, her minera resources, her timber wealth.her finan dial soundness, Ifer manufactures and her athletes are well-known. And it no time has the, mark been higher than in a combination of the last two - the bicycle industry. Cansda is now exporting bicycles in large quantities, But to get back to our subject -th( way Canadian manufacturers bav( come to the front in the production of s si of opinion a s The diversity Y Ptut'o saddles. to saddles has been almost as great as the number of riders, and thiel ha( been due to the general dissatisfactior with the kinds hitherto supplied, and to the strong desire for an improve ment.
