COMMENT IN LONDON.


Annexation.
LONDON, Jam 3O.-The Daily Graphic
says of the Hawaii revolution;
"Bcyond dispute there has been mis-
government in Hawaii, but, except the
lJrid stories published in san Francisco,
nothing occurred to our knowledge to
justify the Queens deposition. The rev.
olution seems to be purely the work of a
soCui0u Of immigrants numbering at the
outside 1000. The fact that the revolu-
tionsts were in SO great a hurry to petit
tion the United States for annexation
wears an ugly look
The Morning Post says:
"AnneXBtiou of Hawaii by the United
States might be regarded as a counter
move TO terrifying Esquimalt The bulk
of Hawaiian trade being with the United
States, we are not surprised that there
should be "a desire for closer union with
that power
! The Daily Telegram says;
"The affair wears the aspect Of a sue
cessful attempt by American intrigue IS
to subject the existing order of things in
| favor. first of themselves, and next, Of
what is impossible annexation. We
could not allow the United States to an
mex the islands, even if the established
/ policy at Washington permitted the idea
to be entertained. This policy, however,
/ will not permit It,"
'The Daily News says;
''The overthrow of the Queen appears
to be an American coup Hawaii being

The dangers that lurk unseen in the
air form the subject of an essay by NJ.
de Nansouty on THE Atmosphere of
Large Towns and Micrography," He
points out the increased pollution Of the
air in Paris from the factories worked
by steam machinery, and remarks that
vapors which contain sulphur are spe-
cially disastrous to the lungs, since the
sulphur which they contain is trans
formed into sulphurous acid, and then
into sulphuric acid, which falls back
to the earth with the rain and fog. An
analysis of dust particles reveals that
remarkable collection of diverse OBJ
jects may be absorbed at every breath
in the street of large city; slick, chalk,
plaster, pulverized rock, charcoal, hairs,
fibers, vegetable refuse, starch, pollen
cells, etc. A specimen of dust collected
from furniture on the third floor of q
street in Rennes contained all this and
nearly three million bacteria in addi-
ton. A gramme of dust (about fifteen
grains) in movement in the streets in
closes about one hundred and thirty
thousand bacteria. The dust of houses,
then, is far more dangerous. NJ. de
Nansouty concludes that it is of meal
culable Importance to devote incessant
attention to the number, quality and
nature of these microscopic beings

There is mo phenomenon of nature
that escapes the investigating eye of
science. In England they have lately
been experimenting with founders in
order to determine whether the white
ness of the under sides of those fish is
due to the exclusion of the light, and
the presence of color on their upper
sides to exposure to light. They have
kept the fish experimental on living in
glass tank having mirror placed be-
meath, so as to reflect light upon the
under sides of the fish. One of these
prisoners has survived for three years
under conditions so strangely different
from its ordinary habits of life, and all
of them have exhibited the develop
ment of spots of pigment on the lower
surfaces. The experimenters have con-
cluded that it is exposure to light that
causes the coloration of the upper parts
of the bodies not only of founders but
of other fish, and conversely, that it is
to the comparative absence of light
that the whiteness of the under side of
the fish is due. They extend the same
principle to explain the colorless condi-
tien of the skins of many animals that
pass all their lives in caves Youths

HOW FACE THE MORROW

Leaves thee all spent with trouble and
SORROW
How shalt thou face the harder Tomorrow

How shalt thou deal with an unknown woei

How build the sinews Of thy soul?
To stand and shiyer on tie brink

Never river but brims and fills
By tho aid of numberless slender rills
Never strength but has grewn and fed
With the force of weakness conquered;
Never day but is ruled and shaped
BY the power OF yesterday escaped;
And never a human soul that grew
BY single resolve to its stature true.
Winter makes ready for the spring
BY months of struggle and suffering;
And the victory won from the mortal strife
Strengthens the fiber and pulse of life
How if the earth. in its chill despair,
Felt that the fight were TOO hard to bears
Where we're the bloom and the vintage thent
Where were the harvest for hungering men?
So, if the now seem cruel and hard
Endure it with thoughts OF the after#ard:

Imitation Laces.

Almost all the varieties of laces
named are made by machinery, with
more or less success, as already noted.
The prettiest white cotton laces made
by machine are those which initiate
Mechlin. These are sometimes hand
run: that is, the pattern is produced by
outlining it in running stitches with a
thread and needle. Black Spanish
laces are also hand run. Escurial Span
ish lace is a specimen of machine-made
lace where the pattern is outlined by a
satin cord. Genoa lace, or guipure de
Genes, is creamy white lace, made by
machinery in the pattern of the old
ecru laces of Genoa. 1t is also charac-
terized by the purling design of gui-
pure and is very effective. 1t is found
in ecru and pure white. Some of the
prettiest and most durable white cot
ton laces are simply emhroideries on
white cotton net, Amqpg such may bt
mentioned the varieties of prienta
lace and Pompaaour lsas.~-isood House
