The Uaytian Trouble.

1t has been asked, How did the trouble
between the United States and Hayti orig
mate" First, Hayti had a revolution; then
Legitimc, temporarily on top, declared a
blockade of the Haytian ports Then the
Haytian Republic, having on board arms and
munitionso of war, tried to run the blockadean
was captured \ prize court decided that
the capture was proper, but the United States
refused to accept the decision, claiming that

DR.. L. K. Klemm, of the Technical school
AT Cincinnati, O., tells in The Journal Of Ed
, ucation Of an interesting instance Of the in
ventive genius Of a boy which had been slim
ulated and developed by technical education.
At a tile mandatory near that city, it was
the practice to have different sized steel forms
for each size of tile. Whenever it was neces-
sary to make new size of tile new form
was necessary, the cost Of which was $3.50.
A boy was passing through the works one
day with his father, and his attention was
called to this fact, whereupon he said he had
q suggestion he would like to make.

Several cases of this new malady are re-
ported from France. Itaffects workers under
the electric light. The light exceeds l00,-
600 candle power, and it appears that it is
this excess of light, and not the heat, which
produces the nervous symptoms. A painful
sensation in the throat, face and temples is
first noticed, then the skin becomes coppery
red, and irritation is felt about the eyes,
much lachrymation ensues, and these sy!np-
toms then disappear while the skin peels off in
five days. The effects are comparable to those
produced by walking over fresh snow in the
sunlight, and may be regarded Us a sort Of

A new and amusing game that is now en-
tertaining English children is called Tho
Cries of Iondon.n 1t is thus played: Each
person takes the part of some of the numerous
London pedders or costermongers and street
vendors and walks round the room, initial
inc what would be the action of the charac-
ter imperSonatcd.
Another player acts as purchaser, and the
moment any one is called by the player who
so acts, he or she must Immediately sing out
their appropriate cry as much in the tone in
which 10 would be uttered as possible The
one who called the peddler then asks for
something in the way of the trade, to which
the reply must be made IL have not any; ask
such a one" indicating another peddlcr,
who is then in turn called. To make 1t
more complicated the same peddler is often
asked for three or four different things
and the purchaser has then to be referred to
rs many other peddlers. Any peddler who
forgets to utter his right cry when called
must pay a forfeit, and if the purchaser asks
q peddler for anything not belonging to his
trade, or asks for the same thing twice, the
purchaser pays forfeit. The continual mo-
tions and strange tones Of tho "cries" afford
much amusement, and the more there are en-
gagged in the game the merrier it is.
The same game may be played and called
"Cries of New York." when the street vend-
ers of that city must DO initiated, or Cries
of Paris in which case the questions, an
swers and cries should all be in French.
For quieter or sitting down games, much
novelty may be introduced into the various
games of memory. They are amusing if a
clever fable or verses arc introduced for rep
etition, and where a number attempt to say
q line or a verse or collection of words in sue

According TO La Gazette Geographique the
Cordillera of the Andes are gradually sink
ing. In l,45 the city of Quito was $3.50 feet
above sea level in 1905 it was only 800; IN
1881, 9,561 and scarcely $3.50 in 1861. This
amounts to lowering of 76 feet i'll l22 years,
or at the rate of about ~ inches per annum
We are also told that the farm of AntiSana
has sunk lG5 feet i'll 81 years. or more than
% feet per annum. This is the highest in
habited spot on the Andes-about 1900 feet
higher than Quito, the highest city on the
globe. The peak of Pichincha was, accord
ing to the same authority, 2lS feet lower in
1867 than III l,45, Il sinking of nearly feet
per annum.
Assuming the accuracy of these figures, they
present a curious geological problem, espe-
cially as there is no record of a corresponding
change at sea level or at the foot of these
same mountains, which descend rather stceply
to the Pacific Ii the Elasticity or viscosity

tended in this magazine, it follows almost Of
necessity that such mass of mountain land

Himalayas the concentration OF elevation IN

standing above sea level in proportion to the

be found in any other part of the world, and
its down thrust is similarly prc-emInent
Such down squeezing and sinking must be
accompanied with corresponding lateral
thrust, or Glowing that should produce
earthquake disturbances on every side, The
facts fully satisfy this requirement of the
theory, as the country all around the region
is the very fatherland of earthquakes.

The break in Oregon Transcontinental extended
to the other Willard stocks, and the ease with which

Thomas and his shepherd evidently had
divergent ideas as to how much constituted
the necessary modicum of fuel for family
consumption, and it is to be feared that the
former furnished considerable strong evil
dence that so far as his pastor was con-
oerned, the contract system for warming was
q failure. At any rate when the next an
nual meeting came round they voted "That
they will give to Mr.. Seth Heaton ye sum of

year ensuing; ye committee to take care and
zee that he doth not want wood"
The last record made in 1870, and tho last
for period of twenty years, as has been
stated, reveals that the parish, in common
with the country, was affected by the finan-
cial wave of depression then rolling along.
