GREAT BRITAIN REACHING OUT
Several. New Islands Added to He1
Possessions.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug 2.-The
steamer Miowera, which has just ar
rived from Sydney, brought details of
the recent annexation was done by her
British majesty's ship Wallaroo. The
first island made colony was Bellona,
which the Wallaroo reached on July 16.
The union jack was holsted with the
usual ceremonies.
The natives were very shy at first,
and were much frightened by the salute,
but they became treasured on the ship
leaving, and removed the notice of the
annexation and dug up, the bottle con-
tanning the proclamation. The intente
cordiale was firmly established by the
ship rescuing a native blown out to sea
in a canoe.
Bunnell island was also placed under
British protection the same day. The
island is difficult of access, and no ma
tive was seen. The Wallaroo called at
Maru sound and proceeded to the Stew
art islands, annexing them. The ma
tives are of a high type'and very friendly.
They we're much pleased at becoming
British subjects.
Bunnel and BeIlona lie to the south
ward of Cuadalcanar in the Solomon
group, and were apparently discovered
by Captain Wilkinson in the Indispens-
able in 1870. 1t is said that copper ore
is abundant on them. According to
Lieutenant Richards, Bunnell island is
about forty-fiye miles long and six or

A Scathing Letter Upon the Sealing
Controversy.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 2.-Professor Henry
w. Eliot wrote scathing letter to the
Plaindealer regarding Lord Salisbury e
seal conference, supplementing the one
of few days ago to Assistant Secretary
Day. He wrote:
''In the foreign dispatches of Sunday
morning there appears an entirely mis-
leading account of the fur seal confer
ence which Lord Salisbury has finally,
at the urgent personal appeal of John
Hay, authorized. I protest against this
studied attempt to deceive the people as
to the scope and extent of that confer
ence, and the inference which may be
drawn that it is to be of the slightest
gain to the American case.
''In the first place, we have had The
official and curt refusal of Lord Sails.
bury to reopen this seal question in any
way. This refusal was made on April
21st, last. and not a thing has taken
place since which has altered Salisbury's
stand. Fosters trip to London only
strengthened the British premier's
hand.
"Calling in Russian and Japanese
agents to this informal conference will
not have the slightest effect one way or
the other on the stand the British
agents may take and have taken.
Canada controls this matter absolutely;
she has an unusually easy tack, as
thinks are now directed on our side, as
she will again skin Foster as clean as
she did at Paris in 1898.

GENIUS Avn OLD AGE.
The Exercise of Intellect Does Not
Shorten Life.

The Exercise of Intellect Does Not
shorten Life.
The Gentleman's Magazine, in an
article on the age of Genius tends
to disprove the assertion that brain
power is incompatible with health.
Once we were told that if we wished to
become octogenarians we must lay
aside ambition, we must be careful in
our diet and temperate in our wishes.
We must wait upon our bodies and as
much as possible keep the mind out
of sight. In order to disprove that
counsel, we have only to turn from
empty words to solid fact.
First, to take the great men cele-
brated in war and conquest, since
theirs, also, is u species of genius, is
to find the list headed with Xenophon,
Dumouriez and Wellington at Sc, S4
and 50. Thence it continues to Charlie
nagne at II. From him the numbers
1ecline, though not hastily, to Napo-
con at 81 and, lowest of all, Alexander
he Great, at 80. Nearly 60 per cent. of
the warriors chosen at random reached
the Biblical standard of three score
and ten.
Then, beginning with the great
names of statecraft, there are Frank
lin and Tallyrand, both at "a, Palmer
ston at 81 and Washington at 81, with
the list keeping well up in the tifties,
and at the end slowly falling to 40.
This is imposing, especially if we add
Gladstone and Bismarck, both well
over their eightieth year.
Science and philosophy begin with
Humboldtat8 Scandinavian imposing
list of men whose brains were worked
to the fullest extent, and of whom no
less than 63 per cent. completed their
SEVENTEEN year.
In short, almost one-half the greatest
geniuses the world has yet seen have
uttained the age of 20 years. Let no
one fbe deferred from becoming a ge-
MUS by the fear of early death!

Excavations were made in mounds
near Sparta, Tenn, in what was sup
posed to be an Indian burying ground.
The excavations proved quite success
full, and at depth of about two feet
skeletons have been found. In these
mounds or graves were found toma-
hawks, arrowheads, pots, shells, char
coal and beads of various shapes and
sizes. The pots went to pieces as soon
as exposed to the air. The indications
are that battle was fought in this To-
cality, as there is what is supposed to
have been fortress, with these mounds

Round Bale Congresses to be Operated on the

Round Bale Congresses to be Operated on the
Cooperative Basis.
The fears of monopoly in the hand
ling of cotton by the roud-bale process,
which have existed in some quarters,
may be set at rest by the statement in
the Manufacturers Record that it
is authoritatively informed that the
American Cotton Co. proposes to ope-
rate its cylindrical congresses in CO.
operation with local planters and gin
ners throughout the South. The plan
of operations that has been decided
upon will enable planters and ginners
to avail themselves of the benefits of
this invention on a liberal cooperative
basis, with market for their cotton as
sured. The company will begin at
once the introduction of round bale
congresses.
In all interview in the Manufacturers
Record Mr.. Henry Hentz, president OF
the New York Cotton Exchange, calmly
and accurately cages the opposition to
the new process, and from an indie
pendent standpoint, supported by prac-
tical experience, he says that sit is
absolutely certain that cotton packed
in cylindrical bales under the system
adopted by this company will bring
higher prices all the world over than
that packed in the prevailing style"
