ss the Minhocao-a worm fifty yards IN

bones foR ssmors and capable of uprooting
mighty pine trees as II they were blades Of

that some animal unknown to biologists

not actually caught sight of the animal

Total Eclipse of the Sup.

On the afternoon of the 29.h of this month
total eclipse OF the sun will occur, the mosl
sublime aud awe-inspiring celestial phenome-
non that is ever witnessed by mortal eyes. Un-
fortunately the moons dark shadow does not

"The Uery man OF all others acho has the

things constitute the very harvest time Of spec

The Pecksniff of Nations,

In order to preserve the Ottoman empire
from dlsintegration England kindly consents
to take one of its most important provinces
and govern it. The island of Cyprus which
has been under the rule of the Sultans since
1911, now passes to the possession of
her Majesty, the Empress and Queen. In
return for this surrender of territory, Eng
land promises that after the spoliation scheme
now under discussion at Berlin is carried out
no nation but England shall be permitted to
rob Turkey. This must be great comfort
to the Turk. Hereafter he is to be the ex-
elusive spoil of a nation, strong, but neither
just nor generous, and with an earth-hunger
as sharp as that of old Rome. The cession
OF Cyprus is to lead up to an Eng
lish protectorate over Asia Minor, and the
result of an English protectorate is we'll
known. India is an example.
That Asiatic Turkey will be far better gov
erned by England than it has ever been gov
erned before cannot be gainsaid. No happier
lot certainly could befall Cyprus. Civiliza.
tion will be gamer by the change of rulers,
and trade will reap a rich harvest. 1t is far
better for the world that the Engishman
instead of the Russian should govern Asia
Minor. Very likely, too, England has con-
suited her best interests in the adoption of
the new treaty. Indeed the treaty is gener-
ally regarded as a brilliant diplomatic feat.
But for all that the conduct of tine English
government is not honorable, nor just, nor
sincere. 1t has assumed the protection of
Turkey to plunder her. 1t has persistently
protested against the ambition of Russia
while all the time it has been seeking, at the
expenseof country which looked to it for aid,
territorial aggrandizement. 1t has declared
that the affairs of Turkey in Europe are
matters of general concern, and now claims
the right to work its will without interference
on Turkey in Asia. All its protestations
have been false. its claim of unselish desires
insincere. All the time it has been consult
ing its own interests, not the interests of
Europe nor Of Turkey. 1t has done by the
Ottoman empire as it has done by all govern
ments that have trusted to its eagerly urged
offices of friendship, as it has done by India
and South Africa. That is why it is detested
by the rest of Europe. 1t is not disliked for
its ambition so much as for its hypocrisy. 1t
is the Pecksnif of nations. 1t prays for its
victim while it is robbing him. There is no
nation in Europe that would not pursue the
same course of aggrandisement had it the
opportunity. But there is no other nation
in Europe capable of assuming to defend the
territorial integrity of the Ottoman empire at
the time it was plunderng that empire of
one of its richest provinces.
