THE SUPREME COURTS ATTITUDE IN
THE BEHRING SEA EMBRoGLIO.

THE BEHRING SEA EMBRoGLIO.
The Behring sea controversy has
been Joined in by the Supreme court
of the United States, who declare
their intention of passing upon the
legal questions involved, in the case
of British vessels hbeled for catch
ing seal in Behring sea.
This arrangement while it does
| not necessarily bind Great Britain
or the United States, OF compel
either to surrender their alleged
rights in the premises, seems to be
more pleasing arrangement to the
interested Canadian controversy of
the British than to Uncle Sam,
represented in the person of Secre-
tary Jas. G. Blaine. If our Supreme
Judges, viewing the matter from a
legal standpoint, decide that the
United States has no jurisdiction
over Behring Sea, and cannot pro
hibit British vessels from catching
seals there, the question then
arises will the United States back
the Secretary of State in repudiat-
ing its decision and still claiming
the exclusive privileges of these
waters for sealing purposes? Well
hardly. Then this state of affairs
practically transfers the controversy
from the realm of diplomacy to the
courts, and gives MIR. Blaine slap
IN the face RELOCATING him to back
seat, for he has already refused to
leave the matter to any board of
arbitrators.
Now that our court has taken the
matter under consideration. it would
place us in strange attitude, not to
say ridiculous, if we failed to abide
by the finding of our own court, and
as the British government has al
ready expressed its willingness to
abide by the ruling of this court,
this should settle the matter. We
should not appeal from their decis-
ion and the other side cannot well
do so after applying to this court
for an arbitration of the difficulty.
This question has already threat
ened war, and while Uncle Sam is a
great big dcublejointed young fell
Iow with lots of manly courage, he
IS law-abiding, and don't go very
we'll armed for serious difficulty,
md in scrap with his old settled
1eighbor "across the pond" who

ore he could arm himself, so as long
IS the well-armed neighber is not
90 aggressive, and is even willing
o let him take the chips off his own
lead, and leave it to a lot of his own
riends if he is not in the wrong,
instead of selecting from each side,
his ought to be an eminently salts
actory settlement to Uncle Sam,
ne on which he should congratulate
lmself in having the advantage and
heerfully abide by their decision,
> hastily apologizing for the intru-
ion if decided against him.

volvulus growing near was seen to
turn toward his leg, which was then
kept motionless until, at the end of
an hour, the tendrils had laid then-
selves over it. He then went to
breakfast, and on returning found
that the plant had turned away in
disgust. A pole was procured and
placed against the pillar about a
foot from the nearest sprays of con-
volvulus, and in ten minutes they
had begun to curve toward it, and
in a few hours the tendril had twist
ed quite around it. The pole was
on the side away from the light, and
the observers find it difficult to &C
count for the phenomenon except by
assuming that the plant could see
the pole.
INFLUENZA AND WEATHER.
In study of the London records
of influenza and the weather from
1916 to 1890, Sir Arthur Mitchell
and DR.. Bechan have found the
disease to belong chiefly to the
winter season, but to be connected
with unseasonably warn weather
rather than with unusually great
cold. In no case has extreme cold
during an epidemic been attended
with any increase of the death rate.
Other diseases which have prevailed
most extensively during epidemics
of influenza are diseases of the
breathing organs, consumption, dis
eases Of the circulatory system,
rheumatism, and diseases of the
nervous system. At these seasons
there have been less than the average
of deaths from diarrhoea and dysen-
terry, liver disease, measles, scarlet |
fever, typhoid fever and erysipelas. |
Experiments made by NJ. Ponho |

when great and pure leader will
arise, who will be equal to the oc-
