CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The Republican National Conyen-
ton is now in session at Chicago, the
preliminary work was begun and gone
through with yesterday, but no ballots
will be taken until to-day, aud it is
doubtful whether ballot will be reach
ed before tomorrow, as the candidates
must be placed in nomination, and
more or less speech making INDUCED
in. The two great candidates before
the convention are Blaine and Arthur,
while the less prominent ones are, Ed
monds, Logan and Sherman, likewise
Licoln, Postmaster General Gresham,
Seuator Ben Harrison, the latter three
being looked upon as probable dark
horses. AT present writing Lincoln and
Gresham seem to have the inside track
in the dark horse race. Blaine's friends
claim anywhere from 336 to $50 votes
for him on first ballot, while the AR.
thur men claim only trifie less than
that number for their candidate on
first ballot. There are $40 votees in
convention and All are necessary to a
choice, so that 30 candidate can be
expected to make the nomination un.
til several ballots have been taken
and break occurs. There are no
animosities like there we're four or
eight years ago, and whoever the can
didate is be will receive the hearty
support of all sides.
Blaine's chances are considered bet.
ter now than four years ago, as many
who opposed him bitterly then are
either luke warm or very friendly
toward him now. At all events next
week we can name the next President
of the United States.

Area of the Seas of the World.

A work by DR.. Otto krummel, Of
Gottingen, gives the following calcu-
latious of the extent Of the different
seas of the globe: Atlantic Ocean,
1920, ,46S square miles; Pacific Ocean
99,S97,9l1 square miles; Indian
Ocean, 45,4G2, ,O4O square miles Are
tic Ocean, 9,4Sl,294 square miles, Of
which an area Of G63,249 square miles
is covered by Hudson's Bay and ,,,l5
square miles by the White Sea Ant
arctic Ocean, II ,G96.2 23G square miles.
The Australian Sea covers 5,ll2,49l
square miles Mediterranean, 1882
o29 square miles; Baltic, 25, so
square miles Red Sea, 2.S,944
square miles; Persian Gulf, 14G,S
square miles. Of those bodies Of
water which may be termed coast
seas, the North Sea has superficial
extent of 33S,526 square miles, the
Irish Sea, l25,290 square miles !; s.
of St. Laurent, l'0,l square miles !;
China Sea, 'Gl,G32 square miles :;
Japan Sea, 64,,1'O square miles !;
Okhotsk Sea, 934,9l5 square miles
Behring Sea, !, HOBBS square miles j;
Sea of California, 103,6r9 square
miles. DIR. krummel estimates that
the total sea area is 23l ,9l5,9O5 square
miles, while the total area of the con-
tinonts and islands of the globe is on
ly 34,354, $50 square miles. 1t will
be seen that the three great oceans
have more than Gve-sixths of the

men succeeded in entering the first class

men and two women The conclusion drawn
by the Standard is that exceptionally clever

level with the truck Of young men. If
the average college -bred Englishman who
