Great lingo.

Mr. Blaine is nothing if not bold. When
he found, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that
IL would be vain Of the Republican party to
deny its responsibility for the great trusts
OF this country, he set about demonstrating
that they were not such bad things after
au-that they were purely private concerns
and not 20 be intcrfered with by any one
Again, when the Presidents message had
made it manifest 20 the whole land that
nothing but the partisanship of the Repub-
hcan Senators had prevented wise and
satisfactory settlement OF the Canadian
question, he takes the bull by the horns and
openly declares that none but the Repub-
lican party should be permitted TO settle It,
In the Associated Press report Undoubtedly
revised by himself) Of Mr.. Blaine's Water
vile speech occurs this passage:
THE speaker believed that Congress
would not crafty the President, and that
the American people would put the whole
question over to next year, by which time
the Republican Administration would be in
power, when the question could be eouitablv
settled That this has beer. throughout
the guiding purpose Of the Republican SEN
ators Is plain to all, but all of them have
lacked either the honesty or courage TO ad-
init II. Indeed, a more audaciOus declara-
ton has rarely been heard in the history Of
American politics. Retaliation Is To be
forced, war invited and jingo played 20 its
tull limit, but no Democratic Administra-
ton is to be permitted 70 relieve the situa-
ton. Tho people are TO be persuaded that
our fishermen have been wronged, our flag
insulted and the dignity Of our Nation en-
dangercd, but all this must be kept a-Roing
until tho Republicans can come in and FIX II
up. Mr.. Blame Is a very bold man.

Of the island, is chaos itself-rocks, stones,
shasms, streams, pools, lal1elets in frantic
confusion, these latter apparently all alive
and each one bent on outshining if not out

No animal or insect breathes upon the
island. Two hundred fathoms will hardly
reach the bottom within half a milo of its
shores. This island is the eastern limit of
the extensive belt of volcanic agitation
which extends from Mount Egmont through
Tongariro, the T4upo Rotomahana lakes to
Whale Island and the adjacent rocks, north
OF which line earthquakes are rarely felt.
An analysis of sulphur deposits on this
island made IN the New Zealand Geological
Survey Laboratory shows that one of vel
low sulphur contained 80 per cent. of sui
phur, that another of green sulphur con-
tained 625 per cent. sulphur and that a
third Of impure sulphur contained 60. O5 per

The Seething, Bubbling Mineral Mass

White Island1 Is nearly circular and about
three miles in circumference, writes an
Auckland correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle 1t consists Of tall cliffs on
three sides formed of rock and loose rub
bish thrown up from the srater. On the
fourth side is large fiat many acres in ex-
tent, broken in two places by tall and fan
tastic rocky eminenses which appear to
have once formed part of the cliffs in which
the fats would seem 10 be fault. These
cliffs are eight hundred feet in height, per-
pendicular within and gently sloping TO the
sea Before you is a vast amphitheater of
extraordinary tint. The walls of this basin,
towering up to the sky, appear serrated at
the edges and intersected along the face by
an inextricable network of assures and
crevices Landed in tie ships dingy on
the bowlder-strcwn beach, we find our
selves within the awe-inspiring inclosure Of
this wonderful place. A large plain Of
mineral deposit is before one, and on the
right is seen tramway leading up to what
Is known as the Adamaut reef. In the CEN
ter Of this plain Is the wonderful boiling
lake As we approash it along a well-beaten
trask the ground becomes Of a chocolate
color, and all at once the visitor is conscious
OF tue most puugent orders as the fumes
from the surface of the boiling lake and the
base of the surrounding walls of rock

about it offends the foreigners eye. That

II Is conceded ON all sides, says the De
troit FSce Press, that the tariff taxes the PEG
pie directly and indirectly something like
81, 200, 100000 annually. The advocates Of
the war tariff insist that the tax is a good
thing and especially for the working-man.
This can only be true II the working man
gets back more than his share Of the tax.
II he gets only his fair share-or, in other
words, II the tax II fairly divided-there is
no need Of laying It. IL the working-man
gets less than his share, the tax Is a rob-
berry so far as he is concerned. Is there
any working-man who believes he gets his
fair share OF the tax paid to maintain the
war tariff Does anybody believe itl Eos
ter, certainly, Of the Republican League,
does not believe It. He believes that the
manufacturers get all the benefit from the
tariff tax; and he wants them TO turn in a
big portion Of their gains TO the Republican
party, which gave them the tariff and keeps

MAN-KILLING MACHINES.
Maxim's Automatic Gun That Almo
Loads and Fires ITSELF

Maxim's Automatic Gun That Almost
Loads and Fires Itself.
An automatic three FOUNDER gun, which
seems destined to play great part in the
warllke operations of the future, was tested
at Firth few days go in the presence of rep
resentatives of the War Office, who were
so greatly struck by its performance that
the Maxim Company has been requested to
construct a twelve-pounder on the saT d
principle, says the London Times. 81
About six years ago, when Mr. Maxim be-
gan his experiments in automatic gunnery,
he made certain alterations in a Martini
Henry rifle so that when it was fired the
recon opened the breech by dropping the
block in the ordinary way, the block re-
naming down until another cartridge was
placed in position, when the breech auto
matically closed and the trigger could be
again pulled.
The gun lately tried is merely an applica-
ton OF this system on large SCALE 1t has
the appearance of the quick firing three
FOUNDER, is mounted on a cone in the same
manner and is trained by crutch on which
the shoulder OF the gunner rests. When
the gun is loaded and the trigger is pulled
the barrel of the gun recoils distance of
four inches, the breech remaining closed
during the recoi. When, however, the bar
rel returns to the firing position the breach
block is thrown downward, the hammer is
cooked and the empty cartridge is elected,
the breech block remaining down until an
other cartridge is introduced The act of
placing the cartridge in the chamber liber-
ates the block, which rises instantly, clos
Ing the breech, and the gun can be fired
again.
After firing the gun in the way described
the trigger was fixed in the pulled position,
cartridge was fred and its empty shell
elected. On introducing another cartridge
1t was fired in the same way without the in
PREVENTION of the trigger, and so on with an
indefinite number of cartridges, the gun
doing all the work except that of placing the
cartridges in the chamber. This gun weighs
no more than the ordinary quick-firing gun
OF the same caliber; the strain on the
mounting is less, enabling it to be fired
from light torpedo boat without damage
to the deck, and the rapidity of the fire is
increased, with only one-half the usual gun
detachment to work it.
