An Island Drops Out Of Sight.

The disappearance beneath the seq OF an
island, long marked on the maps and we'll
known to mariners, Is a very rare occur
renee. Such an event is reported from the
northwest coast Of Australia in a region
where no white enterprises are carried on.
and which is rarely visited by ships.
A German sailing master reports the dis
covery OF the mysterious disappearance OF
Expedition Island. The first news was
printed in tho D,utsche Rundschdu. and 1t
has been reproduced in the geographical
journals of Europe. No ono knows when the
island vanished from view. and the only ex-
PLANTATION Of tho phenomenon Is that for
some cause or other there has been sudden
depression OF the earth's crust In those wa
ters. The subsistence OF the island was not
accomplished with such rapidity and vio-
lence as to attract attention. through the
disturbance OF tho sea on any civilized
coasts II sudden cataclysm had occur
red. like that which blew the greater part
OF Krakatoa Into tho air and scattered the
fragments over the sen bed. great waves
would have carried to far distant shores
the news that something unusual had
occurred; for Expedition Island had
some Importance in that region OF tiny
ocean specks. being much larger than any
Of its ncghbors. It was thirteen miles
long. and. on an average. one mile wide.
The German vessel sailed back and forth
over tho sea that has risen above the island.
finding an average depth Of forty-eight feet.
In all the soundings the plummet undoubt-
edly struck what had once been tho surface
OF the fiat. low-lying island. Tho surround
ing sea Is some hundreds OF feet deep. and
the landward end OF the island was forty
miles from Australia. q little north OF the
indenture known as Collier Bay.
1t Is known that the southern coast OF
Australia is gradually rising. while the
northwestern. northern. and eastern coasts.
with wide expanse OF tho adjacent sea
floors. comprise great area OF subsistence.
In other words. the earth's crust in these
regions is very gradually sinking. Expe-
dition Island was in the extreme south
western part Of this area Of subsistence.
We are accustomed now and then to the
spectacle Of a new island suddenly appear
ing above the surface OF the sea; and we
are not surprised when these islands. reared
upon unstable foundations by submarine
volcanoes. show tendency. like New Boga-
SLOW and Falcon Island. rapidly to disin-
tcgrate and disappear again beneath the
waves: but it is very rare indeed that an
island of considerable dimensions and sup
posed stability leaves these upper regions,
and it is rarer still that 1t drops peacefully
out OF view without letting the world know.
in some way or other. that 1t is taking its
departure.

Beyond any doubt whatever. there Is an
extraordinary religious revival in this country
in these times. 1t has appeared in the half
dozen great religious assemblages that have
been held within tho past few months. and in
the Convention OF Christian Endeavor. and
in the operations OF the Salvation Army, and
In tho activity OF the Young Men 8 and Women's
Christian Associations. and in hundreds OF
camp meetings and conferences and In the
Chautauqua outings and in the struggles Of
religionists to promote all kinds of "causos."
Tho religious movement is deep and broad ;
1t is powerful; It's course is onward; its fea-
lures are full OF interest to philosophers.
Let it 20 on. II It is desired by the LORD OF
THE UNIVERSE or II 1t is for the good OF the
world. or II 1t promotes the welfare OF man
kind. the publication OF society. and the en-.
joyability Of life. Anon!

Mr.. Justice Shiras.

The nomination Of Mr.. GEORGE SH1RAs.
Jr.. OF Pittsburgh. to be an Associate JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court Of the United

cupy seat upon the bench Of the Supreme
Court of the United States. His predeces-
sors have been:
JAMES WILSON .1IS0-1I96

WHITE. WAYNE MACvEAaH. Judge EDWARD
c. BILLINGS Of the United States District
Court for the Eastern District OF Louisiana,
and the late BENJAMIN R. PHELPS. who was
for so many years District Attorney Of New
York county. Strong evidence Of the
scholarly requirements OF Mr.. SHIRAs Ia to

ferred the degree OF Doctor Of Laws upon
him in 1888.
With him on the bench. Yale will have
three representatives in the Supreme Court
at Washington: HENRY B. Brown. DAVID
j. BREWER. and GEORGE SH1RAs, Jr.
