was applauded. The resolution was adopted.

Nature and Authors.

There is good material for an essay in
the analysis of the different ;,'acner in
which nature is approached by the au-
thors, and some chronological develop
ments would be apparent. The earlier
novelists, Mrs. hadcliffe and so on to
Walter Scott. created landscape as
background for their people; there were
storms, sunsets, seas, caves, trees and
dark nights, but they fitted into the ex-
igencies of the plot. Never did the moon
shine upon murder, nor the storm beat
upon the happy lovers, when there could
be a first choice Of weather. With
Wordsworth there came another school,
and nature was awarded some rights Of
her own, but it was Mary Milford who
first asked the reader himself to come out
among the roses or go driving along the
scented lanes. Every ybody else had de-
sc1ibed.
Of course everything had to be taken
as it was, but she went abroad with us
in her English weather as though she
were Quaker 1natron with her quilted
bonnet cover in her pocket, and there
fore when the rain came it had no COM
FUNCTIONS and she no disquietude. In
these days we investigate nature We
are not content to see a bird fly into the
bushes, but we must beat in after it, to
know what it is-whether it is at home
or merely passing through. The observ-
ers are looking for material and would
as soon go afeld without their hats as
without their notebooks. It is a great
gain for literature, but it throws re-
sponsibility upon the people who are
supposed to oknow.-Pcterson S Magazine.

society journal in Calcutta. He will So
lect u number Of assis tsnts, including
some American Theosophists and other
exponents Of what is called Esoterio
Buddhism.
The Moha1nmedans Of India have Sc
lected their two greatest scholars to rep
resent them-viz, Justice Ameer Ali Of
the supreme court Of Bombay and an
other whose name in English is not yet
announced. Orthodox Hindooism will
be represented by Nilkanth Yithal shas-
tri. and the 50 called progressive branch,
founded by Baboo Chestnut Chunder Sen;
by the eloquent Mozoomdar. From
Bombay also will come Mr.. Jinanji
Jamshedji Modi, who took high honors
at the University Of Bombay, to present
the case Of the Parsees or Zoroastrians.
The old question as to whether Judaism
or Parseeism is the older Of the two re-
ligions will doubtless be argued anew,
but it is now conceded by the best Anglo
Indian scholars that Parseeism existed
at least in 1900 B. g.
It was a daring conception indeed
that of calling such a convention and
inviting men Of all religions and its
success was so doubtful that the Chris
tan ministers engaged said nothing Of it
till their doubts were removed. The
committee Of arrangements at Chicago
comprises such men as Rev. John Henry
Barrow, chairman, Presbyterian; Right
Rev. w. b.. McLaren. Protestant Epis-
copal; Most Rev. p. A. Feehan, Roman
Catholic; Rabbi b. q. .Hirsh, Jew, and
exponents Of every other faith professed
in Chicago. In the advisory council and
among the consulting and corresponding
projectors are Professor F. A. Hosmer,
Oahu college, Honolulu; Bishop Arnett
of the African Methodist Episcopal
church; Professor Conrad Won Orelli of
Basle, Switzerland; Right Rev. John j.
Keane, rector Of the Catholic university
at Washington. and many others of
equal rank
DR.. Barrow has been at work on the
matter for two years, during which he
has sent invitations to men of every sect
in the world and has received letters of
acceptance from about 1900 persons. To
him more than any other man is due the
credit for such remarkable gathering.
Professor A. P. Peabody of Harvard uni
versity, whose elegant and pleasing
works on Christianity are widely read,
has been active in frrtherance Of the
movement. In Europe the Rev. Ferdi-
nand Csar, the great theologian Of the
reformed churches Of Bohemia, has been
very active in securing representation Of
eastern Europe, and the Rev. George T.
Candlin has been equally active for Asia.
He will bring to the conference a knowl-
edge of the religious condition Of China
at least equal to that of any man living.

method of speaking is rather slow and
deliberative-indeed at the start he seems

becomes more animated, and his SEN
tences contain Il rude and pure elo-
quence.
It is known that he first suggested to
President Cleveland the plan of sending
some one to investigate the condition of
the islands. and it is believed that he was
selected because his temperament is that
of a judge rather than All advocate. At
first view one would take him for a man
swayed very little indeed by sentiment,
and yet it is a fact that he is most popr1-
lar among the most enthusiastic and
sentimental ,f north Georgians. AT his
home in Macon and in the adjacent re-
gion he is extremely popular, yet his men
tai makeup is that Of a judge, of imam

ERICSSON'S LAST. VESSEL.
The Destroyer, Which the Aged Inventor
Designed, but Never Saw.

The Destroyer, Which the Aged Inventor
Designed, but Never Saw.
No certain limits can be fixed to the
progress which science will make in ma
val warfare, as from year to year there
seems to be a pretty even race between
the builders Of stronger ships and thein-
ventors of more destructive and far
reaching projectiles. To vary the famous
old paradox, no sooner does one invent
an invincible steel, iron or tinclad than
another 1nvents an irresistible shot or
torpedo.
Captain Ericsson had but just revolu-
tionized naval warfare with his monitors
when he began the construction of a yes
sci to insure their destruction. He died
before completing his plans, but the
United States naval department was SO
satisfied with his plans that it intrusted
their completion to Engineer V. f. Las
soc and others familiar with them. The
vessel built under their instruction is
now completed and is aptly named The
Destroyer.
The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1893-04-08

She is 100 feet in 1e-4s5t III. with a 1,peNIn
OF II feet, draft of 10 feet and dis
placement Of 900 tons. Her bow and
stern are long and sharp, her upper deck
low, with no rail, and the projections
to her engines and boilers are Of the best
and SO arranged as to permit her to run
at the enemy head on. Eight feet under
water is the alleged destroyer It is of
steel, projects forward 81 feet 4 inches
in length and weighs 1926 pounds.
From 30 to DO pounds of powder propel
the torpedo at a velocity of 54S feet per
second, and in the forward end of it is
a charge weighing 900 pounds, which is
exploded by a percussion cap when it
strikes. A tube runs the entire length
OF the vessel just above the keel, fixed
with water tight cap at the bow Re-
cent experiments show, the engineers re-
port, that at a distance of 600 feet three
shots out Of four would strike and de-
stroy an ene,uys vessel.

OUR COMMISSIONER To HAWAII.

Something of the Career ana Characterize
tios Of James II. Islount.
: The appointment Of ex-Congressman
James H. Blount as special commissioner
for Eawaii and his hurried departure
have aroused vast amount Of discussion
and conjecture. While the precise OBJ
ject OF his mission is debated, a good deal
Of interest is aroused in the personal
character and history of Mr.. Blount.
He represented the Sixth district Of
Georgia in 10 consecutive congresses, and
under such peculiar and varying circum-
stances as to make his career sort of
congressional political romance. Hewas
first elected in 1879 and served continu-
ously until March 4, 1898, when he re-
tired voluntarily.
Mr.. Blount was born in Georgia Sept.
IL, 1887. and during the civil war fought
bravely on the Confederate side, but
when the matter was fought to finish
he devoted all his energies to healing
the breaches Of war, and the restored
union has no stronger defender than he.
He is stoutly built and broad shouldered,
with blue eyes, thick hair, now rather
