In proposing, like the author OF these
lines, TO cast, each month, rapid
glance across the European movement.
10 Is necessary, at the very start, to
consider briefly the events OF the year
just rolled by. But IL would be a sterile
labor, merely to enumerate events as
they take place. For, taken only In
themselves they are not sufficiently In
telligiole and even the conclusions
which may be drawn from them are not
sure and definite enough to make 1t
possible TO forecast the trend OF the
immediate future. What is more i'm
portant TO study is the role, which may
eventually be played by the PERSONAL
ties Who direct to-day the destinies OF
Europe. In paying special attention to
this aspect of my subject shall seek TO
avoid the temptation to give them a
Significance which Is not their due.
In Germany, the principal events OF
the year were the rejection. In the
month OF May, OF the military bill spite
OF the insistent Intervention OF Mr.. de
Caprivi; the dissolution OF the Reichstag
and the vote OF this bill, which has now
become the law OF the land, and which
imposes upon the glumly recalcitrant
Germans, certain new taxes against
which they protest In muilled but GER
bdin hCCenlS. ms COntlu uhl increase
OF taxation which weighs upon the
States OF Europe, is for some pledge
OF peace, on the ground that the various
States are thereby paralyziug their en-
ergies In so continually adding, in III u
tual rivalry, TO their armed forces; but
for Others, IL Is n sign of war on the
supposition that such ruiuous taxation
must necessarily imply some speedy and
extraordinary issue; the feeling is that
the taxes themselves must finally be-
come more ruinous even than the wars
which they tend to arouse.
Yet one cannot say that war Is now
looming over the immediate horizon.
The two hostile nations, France and
Germany, which are really ready, are
determined not to begin what would be
an absolute duel to the death. Ger
many would scarcely wish to begin hos
Utilities without the aid Of its allies; and
as for Italy, unless il were completely
victorious in war, auy issue short OF
this would be its ruin, both as a State
and a nation. Austria, on the other
hand, insufliciently prepared, with a
temper undecided though rather pacific
than otherwise, would certainly refuse
to fight, unless she were absolute Y
forced to do so. Finally France, what
ever belcose elements IL may contain
and whatever motives might drive il TO
hostilities, does not care at present
TO undertake war without the
help OF Russia, an ally upon
which II counts, and without

and. as Mr.. Loubet said, the worst foe
OF the Republic. This is really tho most
definite result OF their campaign.
To SUN up, Europe, during 1898, has
passed through three significant phases,
the record OF only one OF which, how
ever, deserves to be engraved on the
orazen book OF history. The first mouths
were notable for the financial scandals
OF Panama and Of the Italian Banks,
ana the subsequent months, for the
ministerial changes and the Anarchist
explosions. The scandals had none Of
the results expected by their instiga-
tors; they neither bettered the manners,
nor Increased the good renown OF the
nations In whose midst they were ex-
pIoded. The instgators employed I'M
demanded means TO obtain an under
handed and vaguely defined end.
The following month saw the out
bursts, pretty much In every quarter OF
Europe, In Spain, In France. in Italy,
In Belgium, In Servia, In Greece, OF
ministerial crises. which are, as II were,
tho symptoms OF social maladies, and
which were, In way, the lorerunners
OF the anarchist explosions in BARGE
Iona and In Paris. The old society of
Europe Is tossing nervously on It's bed.
IL Is waiting for the doctor 10 restore
It's health, by Increasing its standing
armies, the Illusion OF combat, imag-
lining that It's strength Is sufficient TO
allow IL TO advance sword IN hand. when
1t really has only strength to carry a
purse.
The only significant fact OF the year,
Ia the meeting OF the great nations,
which gave each other the hand across
the Europe which divides them. But
Tor the moment, France and Russia are
like two lovers, who throw across a
crowded salon long glances, with mu-
tual desires to waltz together, but
neither OF them venturing TO take the
first step. Usually partners have only
TO wish TO dance To be able TO do so, but,
In this case, great number OF specta-
tors must open their ranks and leave
room FOR the two dancers to approach
each other; and i believe that the most
curious thing TO watch, during the
present year, will be the schemings OF
these two lovers TO open a way through
the crowd and 10 begin the tour dc
valse, which so excites their magma

Women are beginning to show greater
signs OF growth as composers Of music.
IL has not been an easy task for them
to gain recognition in this field. Here
tofore there has been certain under
current of prejudice against the public
performance OF woman's work, but she,
with her indomitable will and courage,
is rapidly overcoming this, and now it
is no new thing to see her name on a
programme, sandwiched in between two
well known composers OF the other sex.
This scores at least one point for the
women.
1t has been paradoxically said that
the woman song writer of today is not
woman, but q mere girl in wears.

Safety In Speed.

In the course of experiments with the
Maxim gun at Lydd camp bamboo
screens were the targets. The greater
the velocity obtained the less was the
effect on the screens. It was sometimes
almost impossible to see where the bull
lets passed through. The inference is
that if bullet struck human being in
q feshy but not vital part the injury
would be less serious than that inflicted
by projectile Of less velocity. y.-Lon-
