represented Austria, holding out her
hand to England, in order to win her
over to the common task of culture.
England seems to hesitate. Between
the two countries is Italy, who, like
Germany, appears alarmed at the evil
that menaces. Two young and very
pretty girls represent the minor Gull
tured states; these bear lances in their
hands.
In front of the groups is the Arch
angel Michael, with flaming sword in
his hand. His resolute features are
turned on the female figures. With his
left arm he indicates the evil approach
ing, and he exhorts all to be ready for
the sacred contest. At the foot of the
rock is the territory of European cul-
ture. A majestic river flows through
it, and the landscape shows mountains
and horizon broken by towns, in
which are built churches belonging to
various religious bodies. In front is the
historic HohenZollern Castle. Above

all these pacific countries hang heavy
clouds, and the sky is obscured by
volumes of smoke. The path taken by
the Asiatic hordes is indicated by a sea
of flame, which rises above a burning
city. In the midst of the smoke are gro
tesque and Internal figures, which laugh
hideously at the increasing fire. The
danger that menaces "a figure OF Bud
dha) is throned above this sinister pict-
ure. A Chinese dragon, the incarna-
ton of the demon of Annihilation,
wearing the features of Buddha,
is rapidly approaching the sea of
fire. In short time there will be no
boundary between the powers and evil.
The Herald was the first to draw at
tention to and describe this curious
picture, which to-day is the theme OF
the entire German press. The Berliner
Zeitung especially criticises ii severely,
denying that the danger is coming from
Buddha, and expressing a belief that
Buddha in the eyes of the Emperor is
the social revolution and nothing else.
It is, however, a general belief that the
yellow danger" really exists.

Canadian Knights of Labor Said to BE
Dissatisfied.
Toronto, Ont, Nov. 0.-Considerable
excitement was caused In labor circles
here by report from Montreal that
the knights of Labor there had decided
to secede from the general assembly
and form a purely Canadian order.
This action on the part of the Quebec
knights was unexpected, the complaints
against the general assembly having
all come from Ontario labor men. 1t
is now a foregone conclusion that the
Ontario knights will also secede from
the general assembly. in which event
they will join Quebec and form a Cana
dian order. The chief complaint
against the general assembly has been
the manner in which the officers were
elected, many claiming that several APP
pointments were illegally made. There
are about 5000 Knights of Labor in
Canada.
