him that if he would place a few hun

retention. The good man was So
shocked that he has not yet recovered.

did Mr.. Tucker injustice, as We are
assured that it was not his intention
at ANY time to cripple the school
fund in any way whatever. No man
here seems to have higher regard
for the advantage of education than
has Mr.. Tucker; certainly no mem
Der OF the legislature sntsrtains pro
grsssive sentiments on this subjec,
in advance Of those expressed and
supported by him. He is here rep
resentiog the party to which we are.
politically opposed, but we do not
propose to allow him to suffer injus.
tice through an erroneous interpreta'
tion OF bis course by some of his con
stitusnts. AT the time of introduc-
ing his former bill, he supposed that
i, would not affect the previous law
iiverting so per cent. Of all liquor
license money in the county into
the public school fund. This was
an error in judgment ouly, and
might have been made by many a
man better verssd in legal lore.
1t certainly did not furnish just
grounds for the abuse and rdi-
cule 81 freely hsapad upon him for
his course, by ono who is in 90 sense
his peer. That Mr.. Tucker INTEND.
ED to do right is evidenced by the
fact that when he found he had made
a mistake, he at once set about to
make reparation--w which he did by
a new bill, in which hs retained but
20 per cent. of said license money in
tho city treasury, arguing that at
least that amount belongs there by
every principle Of right and justice.
Both bills ere now law. A mistake
was also made in the city boundary
bill--although it was evidently q
mistake as to the manner of proce-
durs, and as to the AMOUNT of out
side land to be included. Had the
change been made in the manner
now evidently contemplated by law,
Mr.. Tucker would undoubtedly have
mads d compromise only on it too;
because, he argued (and we think
JUSTLY, too), that those who now live
barely outside the city limits, who do
business in the city, and receive the
benefits of the city government,
should by the principles Of justice
be requifedSto pay their proportion
toward paying said corporation. But
as thers was a mistake possibly af-
fecting the VALIDITY of the change
it was allowed to.be repealed entire
ly--not, however, in spite of Mr..
Tucker, or without his approval, be-
cause the PETITIONS concerning both
bills we're rejected by the House, on
account Of the implied reflections
contained in them upon Mr.. Tucker.
The House would have refused to
pass the last bills had he withheld
his consent. We are not an "apolo-
gist" for Mr.. Tucker, but make these
explanations in simple Justice to
him.

The only important objection which

sions expressed by u Few scientists

exposed t0a tropical sun, would be
sufficient to uclu"c Northern Europe

materially the temperature in all of
the countries north Of the Alps. 1t
has even been feared that winds

thc cold summit of the Alps, would
prccipilatc vast volumcs Of water and
produce Il degree ofcold which would
give Denmark and Northern Germany
Il scm-Arctic climate and produce II
! glacial epoch farther north. is tnot
probable that all such apprchcnsions
arise ont Ola Misunderstanding as TO
the topography Of the Sahara and
North Airica2 Thc entire region to
be flooded is practically shut in by
mounIai,l-chains on all sides. The
ATLAS mountains on the north, lifting
their snowy-clad peaks in some in
stances $1,000 feet, afford sufficient
hulwark for I he protection Of Europe
from increased humidity. The only
possible northcrly outlet for air cur
rents from ltl .Juf would be across in o
northcastcrly direction over the widest
part Of the Mediterranean. Currents
moving in that direction if they reach
cu Europe at all, would touch the
shores OF Greece after they had lost
most Of their humidity. M. dc les
Scps, after Il careful examination Of tho
question, is convinced that it would re-
silt III the general Improvement ofthc
climate Of Europe rather than to its
dctrimcnt. The advantage of The in
creased evaporation to North Africa
cannot nc ovcrcsimatcd. The snow
clad cliffs ofAban, lying to the cast Of
the proposed sea, and the Kong noun
tainS to the so,ith, would bring down
upon The parchcd desert grateful rains,
which, with the assistance Of cultivaa
ton, would in time no doubt redeem
thousands of square miles from the
dcSolatton Of the sands.

DUTIES OF n QUEEN.--Thc London
correspondent Of u Liverpool papcr
says: "Ihc labors of u queen arc
more oncrous than those who look
upon royalty as a round Of pleasure
may believe. For example, it may not
be generally known that during tho
six months prior to the departure of
her majesty for Bravcno, about LOO
boxes. containing dispatches from tho
various departments of state, were
forwarded to the queen ut Balmoral,
Windsor, etc, for her majcsty's peru
sal, consideration, signature, ctc. This
statement received from one in posi-
ton to know ITS truth. During tho
last twelve months The number Of
kilograms flowing into tho foreign
office, day and night, from all parts Of
Europe, have been unprecedented,
probably, in any previous administra-
ton. The India Office, tho war Office,
and the colonial Office have each con-
tributcd enormously to tho dispatches
received by tho qucon, many hun-
drcds requiring her sign manual. Tho
duty, moreover, is not affected BY ab-
scncc, as, for example, at Bravcno, tho
post brings daily u heavy bag to the
chateau, while telegraph supplies work
in the intcrval.<' ,@
