Easily y.nauirl,od.

A novel mode OF modern warfare
was recently tested on the ship Alice
Minot while bound from Guam TO San
Francisco which proved n complete
success. During the early part OF the
passage she was driven out OF her
course by monsoon. and the Marshall
Islands suddenly appeared in sight
and ut tho Same time 200 naked South
Sea Island savages came alongside
from canoes and boarded the vessel.
They had never before seen white
mar and could not speak word OF
English. They took possession OF the
ship and remained until the captain
thought that they were staying there
to gain time. murder all hands and
take possession OF the ship at night
No persuasion could get them ashore
and as a last resort steam was gotten
up In the boiler and the warm watse
thrown with hose over them. In
less than five minutes they were all
overheard. swimming away for dear lifh
to the shore. --Philadelphia Record

A curious fact In the early history Of

Their Chief . Thousand Times Exesis
Our Own Sun In Briliianoy.
Z The Pleiades are visibly a group.
Throughout ancient history they were
represented as seven stars wanting
one. In our own day that small square
of sky space over which this cluster
OF half a dozen Is scattered has been
found to be occupied by many more
than 2. 600 suns. The distance OF the
group from us Is estimated rs at lsast
fifteen hundred millions OF millions OF
miles and 1t is calculated that Alloy
one the chief OF its stars, must q
thousand times excel our own sun In
brilliancy. Now, In regard to this
goodly company there is evidence that
the majority have en- apparent motion
in common. But that which is true OF
most OF this wonderful crowd of
worlds is not true OF ell the individu-
ais that at first sight SOON to belong to
it. A few are found to lag behind.
while two at least hurry on in advance
of the general progress. These sets.
then. do not In fact belong to the clus-
ter but being situated far beyond or
far in front take their places in the
same apparent plane only through the
effect of perspective The question
may naturally be asked. What can
produce this appearance OF motion
either in the stars OF the group or in
the stars before and behind 1t? 1t
must be produced by reality OF motion
somewhere. either on the part OF the
stars themselves or else OF another
star. the sun with which we arc our
selves identified. or else on the part OF
both combined. 1t is obvious that II
our solar system is In motion the other
solar systems OF the sky are likely to
be in motion also. and vice versa
Thus we might expect that the appar-
ent movements referred to would be q
mixed result. and this Is found to be
the case. --Edinburg Review.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a special to TIL.
Herald from Rio Janeiro says that mat.
tiers look dark in that country, and Bra.
I'll may be on the brink of another revo
luton. The fight between Presiden,
Fonseca and congress has reached a cul
mination. For quite a time their differ
ences were over financial matters. Tht
president used the veto freely on mat
tiers pertaining to this important sub
ject. Recently an attempt has beef
made to curb the power of the chief ex
ecutive. The fact that Fonseca was Z
military man has led many to fear that he
might proclaim himself dictator. Tt
prevent any such contingency congress
passed a law fixing the process of i'm.
parchment of the president. Fonsecs
vetoed the measure. His veto was con.
sidered in a heated session and resulted
In the carrying of a motion to override
the veto. Fonseca thereupon becam.
very much excited and dissolved con
gress. His decree to that effect wa.
made public Tuesday. Martial law
has been proclaimed in Rio and the
other states forming the confederacy
The feeling is one of great fear Of what
may follow. All dispatches are sub
jected to censorship.

treaty are concessions to this country on
breadstuffs and cereals, no higher than
the duties conceded to Austria-Hungary
by the new treaty with that country.
These duties are about one-half those
charged upon similar products from
other countries. Germany makes these
concessions in return for the free entry
