'EvGLAND's NEW DEPARTURE

In his speech on the occasion Of the
Induction into office of the new lord
mayor of London, Premier Salisbury
presented brief outline of the policy of
the British government with reference
to colonial and International complica-
tons which must be highly satisfying
to the other ma tions. His statement that
the Venezuelan question has been set
tied will be received by the three coun-
tries directly in interest-Nenezuela
England and the United States-as con-
elusive evidence that the spirit of right
and Justice has become more powerful
than the spirit of war and destructive
contention.
The premier made distinct depart
ure from the old unwrtten law govern
ing the right of territorial acquisition by
intrigue and war when he said that the
title of country to its possessions
should be considered very much as the
title of an Individual and that even if
doubtful methods, after the lapse of
long time without claimants the title
should be considered as being rightfully
in the occupant. Hitherto it has been
the policy of England to make an eX-
cuse for invading territory that was de-
sired, ard then declare its ownership on
the ground of occupation without refer
ence to previous ownership. Lord Sails
bury insists, however, that the right still
obtains to demand the examination of
title claimed, but what he really means
by that is that claim to ownership I'M
der an alleged prior title becomes ques-
ton for arbitration, which places the
whole matter upon the broad and just
basis of equity. The details of the set

but it is reasonable to suppose that they
will be found to be exactly in line with
the premier's utterances. If, therefore,
the commission decides that all or any
part or none of the territory in dispute
rightfully belongs to England under its
Dutch title, both England and Venezu-
ella will cheerfully acquiesce.
But the chief reason for rejoicing is
the assurance Lord Salisbury gives that
England now fully recognizes the inter
dependence of nations and peoples. not
only upon ethical but upon commercial
! lines, and that the rights of the citizens
or subjects of a nation must be respected

called upon to decide knotty point re-

debtor had made payable on saint
Henry's Day" Now it happens that
there is no such saints day in the Ortho-
dox Russian calendar Hence, how
could the court give Judgment on a
bond in which it could not be said that
the debtor had made default? Yet
justice evidently required that the
lender of the money should be repaid.
Then it occurred to the Judge, who had
share of the shrewdness of Sancho

ingly for payment on that day.-N. y.

A SCENE IN ANCIENT GREECE.
The Great Annual Gathering at the
OlyInpian Games.


About the first Of the Olympic month
war and battie-sound ceased through
out the length and breadth of Henas.
The distant reads which led to Olympia
were throngeG with pilgrims bound on
Il journey almost as sacred as that of
the pilgrimage to Mecca By the devout
Mahommedan. As the distance les
sened and the time neared, the travellers
became more numerous. audit seemed
as if Greece dispatched all her bravest
and strongest and noblest sons into these
converging currents. On horseback
and muleback. on foot and in litter,
some carrying their simple luggage
upon their backs. some with elaborate
wagons containing splendid camp
equipage and the richest wines and
foods guarded by a retinue of servants.
they shocked each route with an army of
teeming life. The five festival days were
a great national picnic. where almost
everything was enjoyed in the open air
under a glorious midsummer sky. A
few of the distinguished visitors were
cared for in the temples; but major
ity. even of the wealthy, chose the free
lie OF their own tents.
The daily scene, one can fancy, was
rich with life and pictorial effect. One
of the fairest Of Greek valleys, with
snow-crowned heights in the back
ground, its own bosom crowned With
the white-pillared beauty Of a hundred
temples and public edifiees, is filed
with thousands OF tents Of every color,
like gigantic flowers. During the hours
when the visitors do not resort to the
stadium to thrill with the terrible
struggles of the runners or wrestlers
or boxers, or to watch the smoking
horses in the hippodrome, they amuse
themselves at the booths of the traders
and chapmen. For from all parts of
the civilized world merchants have
gathered to sell their wares. ranging
from the rarest jewels and most elab-
crate goldsmith work to simple ar
ticles of daily use.
Olympia was indeed the arena of the
greatest public games of antiquity, for
we can scarcely call by this name the
cruelties of the Roman amphitheater;
but it was also the site of one of it's
busy and active fairs, a national ex-
position" under canvas. every four
years.
Mental enjoyment of the higher sort
was not missing from the entertain
ment. The leading tragedies were rep
resented in one of the finest theaters of
Greece. Poets and historians came
here also to recite their new works,
and so to publish their fame to the
world. 1t is said that many of the
stirring odes Of Pindar were made pub
lie in this way. and that Herodotus, the
father Of history, first read his delight

! Olympian festival.-G. T. Ferris, in

Great Power for nigh speed.

The large amount of fuel required for
very high speed racing boats las been
the subject of thorough investigation
by experts, in order, if possible, to re-
duce the quantity of coal necessary for
this purpose. Some of the British tor
pedo boat chasers are thought to be the
most perfect vessels of their class in ex-
istence, but in order to attain 30-knot
speed, they must carry 60 ions of coal.
This is fully one-quarter of their entire
sea-going displacement Under high
speed they consume between three and
half and four tons of coal an hour. To
Tropel a vessel with a speed of 20 knots
an hour, the consumption of fuel is ire
mendous. Twenty-seven knots an hour
is the best speed of the ordinary torpedo
boat. In order TO reach the 30-knot line
fully 50 per cent. more fuel is required.
