Thc Freneh SnoIInlion cInlms.

During the Revolutionary War,
France and the United States made
common cause as the result Of the
treaty of 1878, by which, among other
things, each government agreed to per-
init the other to carry on trade with
an enemy, and even to carry the
enemy's goods, provided these were
not contraband. After our treaty of
peace in 1888 with Great Britain,
France found herself once more en-
gagged in war with that nation. France
maintained by the treaty of 1873 we
were bound to assist her, but as our
government did not admit this, and
maintained a neutral position, France
seized many cargoes Of American yes
sells trading with England.
The United States overlooked these
acts for the time being, but in 1897
and in 1899 the claims Of those who
had lost property by these "French
spoliations" were presented to France
by our commissioners. France, how
ever, would not recognize these unless
the United States should admit the
compensation which France claimed it
owed to her for breaking the treaty of
1778. AS the French position could
not be changed by argument, our rep
resentatives finally agreed to allow
one claim to offset the other, being
desirous Of etlecting an agreement on.
other matters. When the United States
purchased Louisiana from France in
1908, as part payment of the purchash
price the United States agreed to pay
these claims.
The claimants, after years of at
tempting to collect them, were allowed
to prove their claims in the Court of
Claims. Many of the claims were
allowed. The claimants then asked
the Congress to appropriate the money
to pay the claims allowed by the Court
of Claims. The bin for that purpose
is now before Congress, and for four
score years the petition has been. re-.

Silent Music.

Thou canst not know that in my hcart,wmch
waits the touch Of word,
The music in lfe's siences thy souls hand
leaves unstirred.
lis there feel it oftentimes, when not a soul
is nigh,
Thrilling along life's hidden chords, unseen
by dust-dmmed eye.
The silent music Of each life doth wait the
artists hand;
A whole life fun waits to respond to all who
understand
As If an untouched instrument the world OF
music lives,
Or played Il 3on by countless hands, retains
more than it gives.
So, hidden in the silences Of every human
soul.
Tho much Is given out in word, doth still
abide the whole;
And only he who has the pow'r to read be-
tween the lines
Those spaces 'twixt the motive and the out
ward given signs
Can hear the music of that life akin unto his
own;
Tho It to others muflled be- he hears the
undertone
The silent side-the waiting side-each fears
to give it voice
For fear the other cannot hear for earth's
disiracting noise.
But, oh, there is a hand, by both It's now
unseen,
Which lovingly doth them unite, tho mist
may hang between
They feel together, and the heart doth clear
translate the word
Which others DO not understand. Love has
the meaning heard.

Range and Power of Modern Rifles.

The range and penetrating power of
the modern rifles are tremendous. The
six-inch rifle will hurl its projectile
through ten and a half inches of
wrought iron thousand yards from
the muzzle. The eight-inch rifle will
pierce sixteen and three-tenths inches
of iron at the same distance. The ten
inch rifle that the rejuyenated Mianto-
nomoh will carry viii send its missile

thousand yards away The twelve
inch rifle, of which we are to have
supply in the future, will penetrate
twcnty-eight inches of iron at a range

GeOrgia Olive OIL.

Very few people know that Georgia
produces olive oil. Mr.. Shadman, of
St. Simon's island, has grove of 100
tress that are now in almost full bear
ing, and during the season just closed
the vie d was about 200 gallons of oil,
besides the frui picked. This oil was
for the most part shipped north, al
though home consumption demanded
a portion of the yield. The stock from
which these trees came was introduced

Water has a great variety of impure
ties, and the means of detecting these,
of course, vary with the kind of i'm
pure matter existing in it. The most
dangerous impu7ity is organic matter
il state of decomposition and yield
ing ammonia and other nitrates, but
to detect this kind of impurity, unless
it is very large, chemists analysis IS
required. The following simple tests
may be made: If on addition of
small quantity of sugar of lead DIS
solved in water it affords a black de-
post, the water contains sulphur. If
the water reddens blue litmus paper
moistened with it, it contains carbon
attes OF ACIDS.
If on adding few drops of hydro
chloric acid and then a small quantity
of solution of prussiate of potash the
water turns blue there is iron IN it. Ii
it turns red litmus paper blue, it con-
tains lime. If sugar is dissolved in it
and the solution, kept in warm place
for few days, becomes cloudy, it
contains decomposing organic matter.
a peculiar sweet taste indicates organ
ie impurities, and if by adding a little
sulphuric acid, tie water is blackened
it is dangerously impure. Oxalie acid
dissolved in water containing lime
causes a white precipitate. A few
drops of a solution of bisulphate of
alumina or even of alum, causes a
cloud in water that contains organic
impurity. .-TNew York Times.

Ancestry Of the rhoronghbred Horse.

Ancestry or the thoroughbred Horse,
There are three horses-known in
horse literature as Darby Arabian,
Byerly's Turk and Godolphin Arabian
to which all pedigrees of thorough
breds are supposed to be traced. The
first was brought to England from
Aleppo about 1900. The second was
owned by Capt. Byerly and used by
him in Ireland in 1859, and is said to
have come from Turkey. 1t is sup
posed that the Godolphin Arabian
was not Arabian at all, bat Barb.
Nothing very definite is known about
him further than that he was bought
in Paris aud brought to England some
time during the reign of Queen Anne.
