LONDON, February 9.--Answering
the assertion that the statements o!
The government have been mere gen.
eralities, Lord Huntington conveyed
the implication that 1t was his belief
that the government did rot even
know their policy themselves. He
continued, although he had opposed
the vote as long M 1t was possible that
10 might encourage the Turks to pro-
long the war, he did not feel II his duty
to continue opposition now. In justi-
fication OF this course, he pointed to
the minister's energetic reputation Of
any intent TO involve the country in
war, and then the expression Of sym.
patty for the christians In Turkey.
Sir Stafford Northcote expressed his
satisf iction at Lord Huntlnpton's
speech. He explained the govern.
menps policy as follows:
The government recognized the
great change which had taken place in
southeastern Europe, and claimed a
voice in the construction and system
of its government. They desired to
have navigation and access to the
Black Sea, 30 regulated as to insure
perfect freedom Of commerce. They
did not wish to ask for any restric.

Professor NJ. Fantral: In the months
of June, July aud August, when the
activity of vegetation is great, trees,
In drawing nourishment from the air,
produce movement which Is shown
In the atmosphere by slight depres-
sion of temperature. Above confer
ous trees, however, an elevation OF
temperature Is constantly indicated
during the day, and this is due to the
retention of solar heat hy the vapors
found enveloping the tops of these
trees. He ascribes the growth Of the
conifers on the poor soil mainly to the
presence of this warm moist medium.
In the midst of wood there Ia always
an ascending current of air, and on
the borders there Is lateral current
from the wood toward the open
country. To the ascending current the
absence, comparatively speaking, OF
hailstones In forests is due.

The Secret Of Longevity.

Every now and then the telegraph heralds

seen the father of his ut present benighted
country. or had remembered something about
the trying times of revolution ut the birth of
the American Republic and all simply be-
cause the heroes of these moTiuary records
manage TO bridge over with full use of their
limbs and faculties the meagrc span of II
hundred years or SO. In comparison with
some of the remarkable instances of longev-
ity which the ST. Louis Ecening Post has col
lected for the benefit of its readers, these
poor centenarians are almost mere infants
A Cincinnati paper mentioned, recently,
that one Senor Mosel was still living in
South America at the remarkable age of one
hundred and thirty-tvo years. Mosel claims
that he has discovered the secret of longevity.
and 1t consists simgly in observing the laws
of mature faithfully by taking the proper
amount of exercise required each day by the
body and mind. and conducting one s-self in
accordance with the rules OF health. He eats

and that in the evening after he has finished

here As rule the people live miserably.
That easy comfort and convenience so COM

here to painful degree. There are a few

these usually the owners of the soil, who

population emigratr every year. and the other
