AS A MILITARY PO WEIR.

France learned some lessons in 1871.
She has now fortified Paris SO that, it Ii
said, to invest the city it would require
q circuit Of a hundred miles and an army
many as the Germans had. The difficulty
which the city suffered for want Of ra-
tions has been in great measure removed
by the improved methods Of preserving
foods and p~asteuring milk. The line Of
approach to Paris from the east and
northeast 80 bristles with fortresses and
Entertainments as to seem to make it al
most unassailable. Mr.. Clofs, who
writes on the subject, thinks if Germany
wishes to repeat her work Of 1871, the
best way would be to have q great navy
and approach from the sea; that she
might send after q feet q 1otilla OF
crowded transports and land her troops
ct the mouth Of the Seine, where there
are no heavy fortresses. Germany will
not try that experiment any more. prob
ably for 200 years. It took Germany 60
years to prepare to wipe out the humili-
alton which Napoleon inflicted on the
German States. and especially Prussia.
She was helped, moreover, by the over
confidence Of the French army. and the
rascality which had supplied the army
with with worthless ammunition and i'm
perfect guns. Now the French are in as
good a position as the Germans. Won
Moltke is dead and so lie Louis Napoleon,
and il is not certain at all but what in q
fair fight the Germans would be more
anxious to protect Berlin than to capture
Paris. The army Of France is in the best
possible condition, and then every Sum-
mer her navy 10 put on q war footing and

The recent death Of Lord Swansea ends
the honorable career Of q busy man who
did much for mankind. He was on this
coast last Fall. The life and labors Of
this peer Of the British realm contain an
element Of more than passing interest.
He was what is sometimes in England
termed a "laboring lord" For more than
fifty years he worked with indomitsble
energy in the building Of one Of the
largest industrial enterprises on earth.
The possessor Of q title and vast wealth.
there was little of the sristocrat about
him. His friends were among the masses
very largely; there were few among the
thousands Of men who labored ON his
great estates but admired aud loved him.
Lol1 Swansea was q man Of genial ma
ture and kindly heart. The poor in his
borough we're his especial care. 1t is
said that among the lsboring classes he
was the most popular peer in all the
British realm.
Lord Swansea was born at Singleton,
Wales, in 1921. He graduated at Eaton
in 1912. The following year he took
charge Of the extensive business Of Wv
ian K Sons. Liverpool. Three years
later he assumed the management Of his
fathers business at Swansea. The oper.
atoms at that time were confined to cop
per smelling; but he developed the man
u~fasture OF spelter or zinc, introducing
an entirely new system and raising the
production enormously. In 1916 Lord
Swansea, then plain Hussey Vivian, com.
menced the extraction Of silver from cop
per by a process which he perfected. In
1850 he introduced the Platner process OF
extracting gold. Five years later. under
his direction, the great works at Swan
sea began turning out nickel and cobalt.
In 1916 he undertook to deal with the
extremely difficult problem Of condens
ing copper smoke and producing valuable
products therefrom. His labors in this

sary to erect alkali works for refining

day.
The town OF Swansea is the parent
home Of the smelling industries Of the
world. Lord Swansea was without doubt
one Of the greatest metallurgists Of the
century; the study OF metals and the
methods OF treating ore became a passion

iarly associated with these subjects. He
was a recognized authority upon the sub
