entrance was effected, and four girls we're

At one of the houses the wife Of tenant
of Mrs. Egan's terrified by the approach of
so vast q military force, gave birth prema-
turely to child, and at the instance of the
dispensing medical officer of the district, who
declined to be responsible for the consequen-
ces if the woman were turned out, she was
permitted to remain in her ~retched hovel as
a caretaker. But it is worth recording that
the emergency men were actually resolved to
remove her. although she was only couple
Of hours mother.
Mrs. Lewis son accompanied the evictors,
and as an illustration Of the knowledge which
be has of his mother prOpertv-and he knows
more about it than she does-a wrong seiz-
ure was made in one house. Mr. Lewis was
actually ignorant not only of the house, but
the appearance of the tenant he was coming
to evict.
The proceedings continued for week. and
each evening after the days work was done
public meeting Of the people of the district
was held in frOnt of the evicted houses. and
speeches delivered by the priests. In the
last speech which Father C0en. z. p, deliv-
cred, he declared that ''nntil the fair and
reasonable offer of the tenants in this parish
on Lewis and Canricardfs property-.s
met by the landlords in fair and reasonable
spirit. not one penny of rent shall be paid
Ii is not uninteresting TO note how the evic-
tiOns so tar have served the landlords fnan-
cially. They have not got a sixpence Of eth
er the rent or the costs of the proceedings,
and the costs are $50 per cent. in excess Of
the total rent. The rent to be recovered on
the properties was only trifle over fl00,
and beyond doubt fl50 would not cover the
expenses of the failure to collect the sum.

When the Earth will stop Re-
vOlying.

A problem which is attracting to its study
astronomers, relates to the earth as a time
keeper. We measure time by dividing either
the period during which the earth revolves
around the sun. or that in which it turns on
its axis. BY the first method we measure a
year, by the second a day. The earth, ac-
cording to some astronomers, is losing time.
Through two causes, the suns attraction and
the friction, so to speak, of the tides, the
earth each year revoives more slowly on its
axis. The spt culative question which these
astronomers are discussing is whether in the
end the earth will stop its revolution upon its
axis and wiz present always the same face to
the sun. When that event occurs there will
be perpetual da. in one part of the earth and
perpetual night in another. But there is no
occasion for immediate alarm. The rate at
which the earth is supposed to lose time only
,hortens the year by half a second in cen
tury. There are more than 81 900, 900 sec
ouds in a year. Therefore, if the earth ever
does Cease to revolve on its axis it will be
more than six thousand million years before
il will stop. Cooper'S Journal.

Mr.. Burns, the eminent English Socialist

Mr.. Burns, the eminent English Socialist,
does not practice what he breaches. He has
been talking vehemently against the "rights
Of property" and dAmsnding a general equal
izing of wesith throughout the world. But

fellows tried to put those ideas into practice
by taking possession of fine gold brooch
which Mrs. Burns was wearing; and 10! Mr..
Burns promptly knocked them down. AMI
his wife retain, the wei Whv did he do
so? Those men were not as we'll off as he,
and tneir wives had no gold brooches. Since
-according to Mr.. Burns-there is no alb
solute ownership of property, why were they
not entitled to enjoy. for time, possession
If the goods Mrs Burns had long been hold
ing? Judging by our STANDARD, Mr.. Burns
did quite right. but we do not look at the
matter from Socialists point of view. 1t
would be interesting to hear Mr.. Burns

The masters and mates OF the vessels
captured by the revenue cutter Corwin,
while catching seals in Alaskan waters
have been convicted and sentenced in the
United States District Court at Sitka.
Most OF the offenders were British sub
jects, but British and Americans have been
treated alike. Judge Dawson took the
ground on the trial of the officers that the
jurisdiction of the United States extended
over Behring sea within the boundary
drawn from Behring Strait to the most
westerly of the Aleutian Islands. Over
these waters Russia claimed and exercised
jurisdiction without question for long
series OF years, and by the treaty of 1867
transferred it to the United States,
