There is no nation in Europe that Is

moderation and scif-rcstraint inherent
In the cold blood Of the north make
them constitutionally inclined to trust
in slow and orderly methods rather
than swift and violent ones. They
come here with no millennial ex-
perience, doomed to disappointment,
but with the hope of gaining, by
hard and unremitting toll, a modest
competency. They demand less of life
than continental immigrants of the
corresponding class. and they usually,
Tor this very reason, attain more The
instinct to save is strong in the major

their neighbors Of less frugal habits
are running behind. 1t is therefore a

institutions. There is no other class Of

And this is not because their own ma

ancient kinship and subsequent devel-

traits in common with US, and are
therefore less in need of, adaptation.
The institutions of Norway are the
most democratic in Europe. and those
OF Sweden, though less liberal, are de-
veloping in the same direction. Both
Norsemen and Swedes are accustomed
to participate in the management of
their communal affairs. and to vote for
their representative in the national par

Wealth from the Sea.

Scientific journals in England speak
spprovingly of a new method of manu-
featuring caustic soda, chlorine and
other chemical products directly from
sea water with the aid of electricity.
There is an immense saving of time,
labor and material in the process. It is
readily seen that man gets a fresh
grasp on the boarded treasures of
nature through such discovery. Per-
haps the most interesting suggestion
made in connection with this new
method of manufacturing chemicals is
that Of Science Gossip to the effect that
electricity may yet enable us so to purify
sea water as to flt it for drinking pur-
poses. One of the greatest terrors that
confront the shipwreclsed would be
banished by such a discovery. provided
that the electrical apparatus could be
made portable enough to be taken of
ia a boat

ESQUiMAUx IN SUMMER.
What VIII he Done to Keep Then
Clean aud Healthy.

considerable anxiety is expressed by
exposition officials concerning the
effect the Lsquimau village at the
worlds fair will have on the reputa-
ton of jackson park as health resort
The entire park has been severed and
its sanitary conditions rendered as
nearly perfect as possible. The village.
however, has been located in the one
corner most affected by every unfavor-
able feature. A part Of the space as
signed to 1t Is occupied by a sheet of
water that is generally stagnant in
spite of all endcavors to keep it pure.
The Esquimaux themselves, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean. are not the clean.
est people in the world, and unless
they are very closely watched they are
liable to assume a condition not pleas
ing TO the fastidiors They delight to
Gaub themselves with oil, which often
becomes rancid and very offensive.
The attempt to reproduce the condi-
lions that surround these peculiar peo-
pie in their native land induced the COM
Pany owning the concession to erect
huts that are impossible to ventilate.
Then, too, there are the hounds main
tanned in the village. These animals
are neither beautiful nor clean, and un-
less given better quarters than they
now occupy will prove a nuisance.
Even now the atmosphere that sur
rounds the village is not too sweet
When the hot days ofJuly arrive it will
be difficult to keep it from giving Of
tense. Should an epidemic break out
in the village it will, at least, give the
officials good scare. and prove more
serious to the Esquinaux themselves.
Those who are in charge of the village,
however, declare that they can keep it
as clean and healthy as any other per
ton of Jackson park. They guarantee
their wards to breed neither the chol-
era nor the smallpox. At present the
attendance at the village is quite lib

BORING IN THE SEA FOR OIL,

American DrillcrS ut Work for the Mik.-
dos Government.
The japanese government has had in
its employ for over year past two en-
pert oil drillers from the Pennsylvania
oil region, who are experimenting Dor
ing for oil in the waters of the Japan
sea, one hundred and fifty yards from
shore, just outside Idzmozaki, a city
about thirteen thousand popu-
latlon on the northwestern coast
of Japan and about fifty-ive miles
southwest of Niigata. They have
met with success. This venture is re-
garded by the Pittsburgh Dispatch as
promising some Important develop
ments, especially as, instead of that
government importing the refined oil
from this country In the quantity they
have been doing, they have now erect
ed four or five reflneries. With these
they are refining their own oil, the
producing of which is yet largely mad
equate to their demand, and also be-
ginning to refine the crude which they
import from the United States and
Russia. The most Of the refined oil
which they import from this country
comes from Philadelphia. Their native
oil is similar to the Pennsylvania oil.
but little darker and of forty-three
gravity. The present price of oil there
is from three dollars and twenty-five
cents to three dollars and twcnty-nine
cents barrel, or in their native cur
rency from four yam and ninety sen to
five yam. A yam varies with the price
of gold, but these drillcrs said it was
worth sixty-five and three-fourths
cents in gold when they left.
At fdzmozaki, which is noted as q
fishing town, the available shore line
is very narrow, it being occupied by
the city, Immediately bac, of which
the mountains" about two hundred
and fifty feet high, rise. The wells
are crowding out into the waters of
the sea, much as they have been doing
at st. Mary's reservoir in the north
western part of Ohio. About four
hundred and fifty feet out the water is
only some three and one-half feet
deep. They usually put down a
crloolng OF los or timber, which they
fill in with earth and thus obtain the
necessary though somewhat limited
space upon which they can proceed
with their operations and boring.
They run out to the derrick from

natives carry to land on their backs
the oil, few gallons at a time. La
Dor is very cheap there. and natives
work for seven van a month and

startling proposition was moved. That

Queens disapproval of "WOman's en-
croachments upon mans dominion" was
carried by nineteen to thirteen. And
ut St. Johns the heresy, THAT univer~
sity education units a man for practical
life" was rejected by twenty-six against
six. At Kings the society found them
selves equally divided rs to the truth OF
the assertion, "That art had ceased to
exist" At Trinity hall it was decided
THAT political prisoners should wear
the prison dress" At Pembroke a
resolution, THAT personal liberty is
too much restricted in this university"
was. singular to say, rejected. Sydney
