THE Partisan papers are making a
good deal of fun of the appointment of
M. Bertholet as Foreign Minister, be-
cause he is known only as a scientific
student. He claims TO have discovered
a chemical process of creating artifi-
cially, in exactly the same purity as the
original growth, such products as sugar,
tea, coffee, tobacco, indigo, and 50 on, at
a com aratively small cost; and if he
can bring about such revolution, he
certainly deserves any office in the gift
of France, with exemption from news
paper derislon on account of his alleged
ignorance of politics.

IT rs curious feature of the massa-
cres in Eastern Turkey that the victims,
without known exception, have been
Armenians. Trebizond and CONSTANT
nople, for instance, each contains nu-
merous Greek populations; yet no Christ
ian Greeks have fallen during the dread
full butcheries in those cities, and if any
men or women of European or American
nationality have lost their lives at the
hands of the Turkish and Kurdish as
sassins the fact has not been reported.
The massacres may have been the acts
of frenzied fanatics, but there has been
SO much method in the madness of the
butchers as to compel the conclusion
that their frenzy has been directed by
guiding intelligence.

NEARLY 800 years ago Archbishop Lie
mar was laid TO rest in the cathedral at
Brennan. His grave has just been dis
covered with an inscription, which, be-
sides giving the date OF his death, shows
that he rebuilt the cathedral in 1858, a
fact which has been matter of doubt
hitherto. OF the body nothing remained,
but when the coffin was opened the
clothes in which he had been buried,
including his shoes, were still intact. On
exposure to the air, however, they
crumbled away to dust.

MOST persons are aware that the earth
makes complete revolution on its axis
once in twenty-four hours, but prob
aoly many are ignorant as to the high
rate of speed in accomplishing the feat.
The highest velocity ever attained by a
cannon-ball has been estimated some
thing like 1000 feet per second; and the
earth must turn almost equally fast. In
short, the rate of speed at the equator
has been estimated at nearly 1900 feet
per second, or mile every 36 seconds,
or II miles a minute.

On calm days the crew of the light
ship anchored three miles off the Colum-
bia River, Oregon, are able at ebb tide
to lower a bucket over the side and bring
up water fresh enough for drinking
purposes. This fresh water spreads out
over the surface of the ocean in the
shape of a fan, the apex being the mouth
of the Columbia, It is only about two
feet in depth, and if the bucket is allowed
to sink below that depth the water with
which 1t is filed is strong ocean brine
There are not many rivers in the world
with strength sufficient to send their
waters so far out to sea, the principal
exception being the Amazon, which
treshens the ocean for twenty miles OF
its mouth, ships having filled their casks
with fresh water from the Amazon
when out of sight of land.
