May your Nation increase

And ne'er shall the sons Of Columbia be slaves,
While the earth bears plant, or the sea rolls its

Is the Atlantic Coast Sinking?

A report of the state geologist Of New
Jersey has called attention very gener-
ally to the sea coast line of that state.
It is well known to the old habitues of
the Jersey seaside resorts that the water
in many places scents to be becoming
deeper and deeper each year, and bath
ing more dangerous. It is true that at a
few points the land has built out, and
houses formerly on the water are now
many yards inland, but these instances
are exceptional
At Asbury Park, at Atlantic City, at
Cape May the encroachments Of the sea
are becoming alarming. At Long Branch
and Atlantic City the board sidewalks
are forced back yearly. Since 1904 the
fertile red soil Of Jersey has crumbled
into the sea at Cape May at the rate Of
nineteen feet a year. At many places
along the coast, where fertile fields were
within the memory of this generation,
are now only salt marshes. In some
places stumps of trees have been found
four feet under water, and on the farm
of Capt. Hildreth corduroy road was
found two feet under the surface Of the
salt meadow.
Professor George Fl. Cook, the state
geologist, has examined the coast very

With an eye to a worlds fair in 1892,
The American Economist has prepared
some figures on the growth of the Unit
ed States since the other fair in 1875 that

We thought the exposition of 1876 was
something worth while. But with the
added wealth, population and experience
that have como to US since then we can
we'll make the exhibition of 1892 as great
as The Economist predicts it will be.
That paper says;
1t is evident that with the effort which made
the centennial exposition Of 1876 a great success
the proposed exposition Of 1892 could easily be
made in its extent, in the variety and novelty of
its exhibits il it's usefulness for public education,

and benefcent influences any other which the

An ENGLISH POne.

The last British Contemporary Review
contains rather a startling article on the
future of the papacy. 1t substantially
prophesies the removal of the head of
the Roman Catholic church to London.
The world is now becoming English
speaking, says the writer. The church,
to be up with the times, must rid itself
of Italian traditions and intrigue. Then,
purid-d and modernized, with pope
who is an Englishman, Holy Church may
reconquer the world. The author of the
paper, which is printed anonymously,
looks to America or Great Britain to re-
habilitate the temporal power or the
church must decline. Cardinal Gibbons
is limited at as the next pope. With some
square miles of soil for its own, it is
claimed that the papacy will have room
for its secretaries, messengers and
guards.

Seals In Behring Sea.

There is serious question between
Great Britain and the United States
whose settlement will be apt to come be-
fore the next congress. American reve-
nue. steamers have orders to seize all
vessels engaged in seal fishing In the
waters off Alaska that are under Ameri-
can jurisdiction. The understanding of
the United States authorities is in gem
eral way that this jurisdiction includes
all the waters of Behring sea- Great
Britain denies that we own the whole of
Behring sea. Enough Canadian and
British sealing ships have already been
seized by us to cause considerable irrita-
ton, and that does not decrease. 1t Is to
be hoped that before another season
there will be held the conference of ma
tions that the United States once pro-
posed and that this question of jurisdic-
ton will be settled for all time.

River Floods,

DR.. Felix L. Oswald expresses, in the
August Lippincott, the conviction that
the whole earth is rapidly going to the
"demnition bowwows," on account of
the constantly increasing devastations
of river floods. The cause of the river
floods is the destruction of the hillside
forests along the shores of the rivers.
AS long as the river hills are lined with
trees, the soil beneath is soft and spongy.
The leaves, living and dead, catch the
rain and hold it gently to promote the
growth of vegetation. The trees once
cut off, the rainfall rushes down the
hillsides in the spring floods, washing
ghastly, yawning gullies, and pouring
headlong into the river, causing de-
structive and widespread foods. The
soil of the hills is washed off, leaving
them barren and rocky. The sand and
soil rush into the roaring river and cause
it to become more and more shallow, to
make higher floods.
In the torrid summer days, when the
moisture that should have remained in
the soil is most needed, the earth is hot
and parched as desert. So southwestern
Asia, northern Africa and southern Eu-
rope, once the most fertile regions on the
globe, supporting teeming millions of
people, have become sandy barrens, SIM
ply through cutting off the trees from
the highlands along the water courses.
And so the whole United States will be-
come like Arizona in time, unless the
murderous tree stripping policy is
stopped. The only way to stop the floods
and reclaim the deserts is to replant the
trees and let them stand.

DR.. William A. Hammond verifies, to
the extent of several experiments,
Brown-Sequard's claim for his elixir of
life. DR.. Hammond's elixir is, however,
prepared from freshly butchered lamb.
He injects the fluid under the skin of
the forearm. In one case he used the
preparation on the rheumatic arm Of a
man 60 years old. The gentleman had
been unable to raise his hand to his head
for nearly year, but soon after receiv-
ing DIR. Hammond's elixir he was able
to move it almost as well as he ever had
done. Brown-Sequard claims that an
injection once month will keep man
20 to 80 years younger than his real age.

The commission to induce the Indians
at Rosebud agency to sign the treaty
giving up their lands witnessed a scene
unprecedented in the history Of the fierce
and untamed Sioux. A young brave
who had attended school took copy of
the treaty and read it to the Indians in
their own tongue. These were twenty
five years ago among the worst of the
wild Indians. It seemed as if civiliza-
ton could make no headway among
them. Yet now many of them live quietly
on farms, and can read and write. The
younger, more civilized Indians are in
favor of signing the treaty. It is the
wild, old ones who are sullen and un-
manageable.

Facts About Johnstown.

Matter which will go on record in the
true history of the Johnstown disaster
appears in the August North American
Review. Contributions are made re-
spectively by Governor Beaver, Clara
Barton and by Maj. Powell, Of the United
States geological survey.
Governor Beaver tells us that, in the
Johnstown district, three inches of rain
will cause freshet. May 81, six inches
fell in twenty-four hours, hence the ap-
palling calamity. By the recent floods,
twenty of the sixty-seven counties in
Pennsylvania suffered, and in ten of them
there was loss of life. The relief fund
for the sufferers will reach not less than
$3,O00,000. A large amount came from
the different countries of Europe. In
face of disaster like this, all men are
brethren.
Maj. Powell says that dams must con-
tinue to be built, in spite of Conemaugh,
for they are necessary. But those who
project them must carefully calculate
beforehand the amount of pressure from
rain or snow fall the walls of a reservoir
will be called on to withstand. This can
be accurately done in every case. In
laying out reservoir, first Topographic
cal survey should be made, then a hy-
biographical survey, to determine the
average amount of rain and snow fall
over the basin and the amount dis
charged by streams emptying into it.
Clara Barton writes of the helpful
work performed by the Red Cross So
ciety. She says that one conclusion has
been forced on her through much ex-
perience in affording public relief. 1t is
that the relief supplies and money should
not be intrusted for distribution to local
committees. They are intelligent, hon
est and disposed to do their best, she
thinks, yet though they were spotless as
snow, local jealousy would in every case
charge them with misappropriating
funds. For this reason the distribution
should be intrusted to strangers
Very touching, indeed, is the answer
Miss Barton mentions which was re-
turned to hundreds of applications made
by those desiring to adopt children or
phaned by the flood.
"There are no orphans-the children
ara dead "
