The fat marshes Of Pevensey have
gained half mile since the days Of Ed

the walls Of the castle that now stands
high and dry inland. The same thing
has happened on the Romney fats,
where the ancient castle Of Lympne has
receded mile or more. Such spots as
these look as though the next spring tide
would add their grassy meadows TO the
lost ground Of sea bottom. But ON tho
rocky parts Of the Antrim coast we have
the sea slowly working its way inland,
despite the rock Notifications and stony
jntrenchments that look so resistless.
Under the waves lie tracts of bogland
that once upon a timo must have stood

Afgol, "the variable star of the con-
stellation Of Parseus," is regarded
among astronomers as the greatest mys-
terry Of the heavens. Its light usually
remains constant and uniform for a
period of from 48 TO 60 hours. 1t then
commences to gradually fade from view.
and in less than four hours diminishes
to an Insignificant point Of light. After
remaining in state Of sem;obscuration
for period Of time, varying from 1 8 to
30 minutes, il again regains It's former
brilliancy. Astronomers believe that
some large dead and dark world revolves
between us and Algol, but this is the
disputed point. a mystery which will.
in all probability. never be satisfactorily
explained. st. Louis Republic.

 Mir Wade said that after the remarks of Mir Gaffney he would move to go into ex- ecutive session. MT Rice disproved of this and said he was not ashamed or afraid to express his opinion open and above board. The motion was carried, Messrs Rice and Hauser opposing it.
 The executive session lasted over one hour and all that was done was the tabling of the motion to take the contract away from Gaffney tS Co, until next Thursday night
 One thing was certain. Mir Barlow had displeased Engineer Cairns somehow. for as the DEMOCRAT representative entered the room the engineer stepped to Mr Bar lows chair and shaking his finger under the latter's nose said: Barlow, you are an old dough head. There ain't any fight in you. When you were asked for remarks you only sat there and snickered."

TARIFF CONFERENCE.
Democrats of the Committee Meet to Fer
 feet an Agreement.

WAsHINGToN, July 9.-Thc first effort to reconcile the differences between the scn-S ate and house on the tariff is being made today. The Democratic conferccs met at noon in the senate finance committee room. The Republican conferces had not been asked to be present It is not as a committee, therefore, that the meeting Is held, and it Is understood to be the pur- pose to hold no meetings of the full committee until the four Democratic sen ators and four Democratic representatives have reconciled all their differences. The Democratic members of the committee say they can expediate their work better among themselves than they could If con stantly exposed to the harassment of tho minority cOnfcrecs. With this programme in view thcre may bc no meeting of the committee as whole for a week or 10 days. In tho meantime tho Democrats will proceed with the work, and when agreements have been reached in whole or part the Republicans will be called in, and the committee as n whole will act on what the Democratic members of it have previously agreed to. This Is similar to the plan followed by the ways and means Democrats in originally framing the bill and by the Democratic members of tho finance committee when it was before that body.
