VENEZUELAN TREATY.
Some Points From London Re.
. garaing the Agreement
Arrived at.

settlement Of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute between the
United States and Great Britain,
adding merely:
This momentous news reach
es US too late for comment"
The agreement, as published
by the Chronicle, is very short,
covering only two pages of
printed matter, as given out,
and entitled Heads of tue
proposed agreement between
Venezuela and great Britain for
the settlement of the Venezuelan
boundary question, as agreed
upon between Great Britain
aud the United States.
There are four separate heads
to the agreement. The first
bead provides for the appoint
ment of an arbitration tribunal
to determine the boundary be-
tween Venezuela aud British
Guiana. The second head pro
vides for the appointment of a
tribunal consisting Of two,
to be nominated by the
justices of the supreme court of
the United States two to b,
nominated by the British ST.
preme court and the fifth q
jurist, TO be selected by the
other four. Iu the event Of
their failure to agree King
Oscar IL of Sweden and Norway
is to select the fifth mem Der
may be a judge of the said
courts and he will preside over
the tribunal as its head. The
third head Of the agreement
directs that the tribunal shall
investigate all the facts necee
sAry 10 decide the controversy
as TO tie extent Of territory
known to belong respectively
to the United Netherlands and
TO Spain at tue date Great
Britain acquired Guiana. The
forth head provides that the
arbitrator shall ascertain all
the facts necessary to arrive ut
a proper decision, and shall be
governor in the proceedings by
three short rules, the most in
portaut of which provides that
actual holdings of proscrip /
ton OF fifty Years shall make
goodthe title. The arbilratJrs
are empowered TO give 4 ct to
settlers righs S, aud in tstab-
fishing facts the ordinary rnleo
of law shall prevail. The
agreement is dated November
II and Is signed by Mr.. Oluey |
and Sir Julian Pauucefote.
The agreement will be tie
basis of a treaty to be conclnd-
ia between Great Britain and /
Fenezueia. 1t will be u treaty |
in itself, only requiring clauses

A Queen with Scientific Tastes.

Queen Amelie of Portugal, to the
great delight of the king and her court,

them medically, in order thoroughly to
study the Roentgen light, and now her
majesty spends her time in photo
graphing King Carlos and the attend
ants, in order to discover what their
skeletons are like. The queen, as is
we'll known, has during the last two
years devoted herself to the study Of
medicine and has shown herself an apt
pupil; but, unfortunately, her majesty
is too enthusiastic in the pursuit of
medical science, and by her expert
ments has reduced some of her ladies'
in-waiting almost to deaths door, SO

bring him to see his benefactor. Some
times the benefactor scowled, some
times smiled his cynical smile and took
notice of the little boy, who was called
by his baptismal name, Master Julian.
When the boy was seven years OF age,
Julian Lorraine sent instructions that he
was to be forwarded to Herstal Abbey,
Somersetshire. Having been told by
the good people about him that the
grand gentleman he now and again
saw was his father, he addressed him
by that endearing term. Julian Lo-
raine, no doubt, stared and laughed, but
he said nothing forbidding the appella-
ton being used. So to himself and the
world the boy was Master Julian, only
son of Julian Lorraine, of Herstal Abb
hey.
What strange freak induced the man
to present nameless child, OF humble
and unknown parents, to the world as
his son shall never know. have tried
to think it was from affection toward
the child-from the need even his own
nature felt of something he could love
and call his own-but | cannot think
so. 1t may have been pure cynicism.

round and say, What is birth? See,

The boy grew up. He passed from
the stage of Master Julian to that of
Mr.. Julian, or young Mr.. Lorraine; yet
his reputed father kept the secret
kept it until the boy was nineteen, and
like many other boys of that age who
are only sons of rich fathers, began to
give himself airs. Then one summers
evening, when the man and the boy
were sitting over their claret, Julian
Lorraine thought fit to relate, more fully
than l have given it above, the story of
the wreck and the history of the child
born on that rock.
And for / was the boy to whom
he told it-turned deadly pale and
gasped for breath. l believe l had
never really loved the man whom l
supposed to be my father; his was not
lovable nature. Often and often had
reproached myself for lack Of filial af-
lection. But now, as I turned my dazed
eyes to his face, and saw the satirical
smile with which he regarded me, l all
but hated him. rose unsteadily.
II must go and think all this over"
I stammered out.
Certainly, go and think it over"
He spoke carelessly and returned to
his claret, while l rushed wildly from
the room.

HIGH WAGES BUT NO WORK.
What Fifteen Hundred Men Have TO
Ponder Over

What Fifteen Hundred Men Have to
Ponder Over.
Our "workingmen's leaders," when
they are tired Of bringing libel actions
and getting farthing damages, would
do well to study the remarkable state
ment made by Lord Londonderry to his
miners at Rainton on Saturday last,
says the Saturday Review. He pro-
poses to shut Rainton colliery, and the
unfortunate men who will be thrown
out of work came to ask the reason.
The owner produced a complete and de-
tailed balance sheet, showing that the
last years working cost $4,000 pounds
while the receipts were only $4,000
pounds, and even Lord Londonderry
cannot go on indefinitely losing 10000
pounds year. But the analysis of the
figures is even more instructive than
the totals. The net loss is Is lid per
ton of coal raised. The total cost per
ton at the pits mouth is IS 10 I'D and
the selling price only Is II 1-2d. OF
the cost, 6s Cd for wages. Now, in
1887, just nine years ago, the pit was
paying, the wages cost" being As
3-4d. The result to the men has been
a gain of rs lid per ton in wages-and
the closing of the mine.
The reporter adds that the statements
of Lord Londonderry caused pro
found sensation" and well they might.
We fancy that the sensation will
spread. Strikes, shorter hours, higher
wages, heaven-sent labor leaders with
snug seats in parliament, Hyde Park
demonstrations, and all the rest of it
are, no doubt, very fine things, but il
the men all over the country who,
like the $500 at Rainton, have been
thrown out of work, could be got to
speak, we fancy they would cry out for
lower wages and regular work rather
than higher wages and no work.

Nature tells tale of pair of rocks
evidently young birds, that strove in
vain to build a nest. The wind each
time blew the foundations down while
the rocks, which fly far for nest ma
terials instead of taking those close
at hand, were away. At last, desparing
home by legitimate means, they fell
upon a completed nest of another
pair while the owners were absent,
tore it to pieces, and built a nest
foundation that would stand in the
wind. Then they made a superstruc-
ture in the clumsy and inexperienced
way that young birds always do.

You have often noticed that the
many tinted bars and bands that rise
in the shape of "forked tongues of
fame" from wood burning in the CRATE.
1t is ten to one, however, that you
never have thought to figure on the
cause of the varigated hues presented
by flames. To bring the matter quickly
to the point, we will say that the
many colors are the result of COM
bustion among the different elements
of the wood The light blue is from
the hydrogen and the white from the
carbon, the violet is from the manga
nese, the red from the magnesia and
the yellow from the soda, which are
constituent parts of the wood.
