London Newspapers See Nothing
to Be Gained by Further
Silver Farley.
mo One Means to Go Back
on Gold, So Why Not
Say So,
And Not Be Deferred by Threat
Of a Possible Bryanite
Vict0ry?"

LONDON, Aug. 18.-The Westminster
Gazette echoes the editorial Of the Lon
don Times on bimetallism, and says it
sees no chance of the Indian mints be-
ing reopened to the coinage of silver,
adding: "To fool any longer with
President McKinley's commission is
surely unnecessary. In deciding to
abide by the market value of silver
as the standard of currency val
ues, India has taken a step towards
demonetizing silver. Japan and Russia
have adopted the gold standard, and no
one means to go back on it. Then why
not say so and not be deferred by the
threats of possible Bryanite victory
and dismiss the question finally?''

ed to Destroy the Imperial Train.
LONDON, Aug. Is. The Berlin CORE.
spondent of The Daily Mail says that
considerable suspicion attaches to the
accident to the Hamburg express, which
was derailed Saturday evening between
Celle and Uelzen, when passengers
were killed and l3 injured. 1t is be-
lieved that there was foul play, though
the precise cause of the accident has
not been ascertained.
Only six hours before the imperial

press Augusta Victoria passed over the

an attempt was made to destroy that

The curious superstition that there is
IN ocean above the clouds is illustrated
10y the following strange story by an
old English writer zone Sunday the
people OF a. certain village were coming
out OF church on a thick. cloudy day,
when they saw the anchor of FL ship
hooked to one Of the tombstoncs-the
cable. which was tightly stretched,
hanging down from the air. The poo

consulting about 10, suddenly they saw
the rope move as though some one la
bored to pull up the anchor The anchor,
however. still held fast by the stone. and
q great noise was heard in the air. like
the shouting OF sailors. Presently.
sailor was seen sliding down the cable,
for the purpose OF unhXing the anchor.
When he had just loOsencd II the VIII
layers seized hold of him, anA while in
their hands he quickly died, just as
though he had been drowned. About an
hour after the sailors above. hearing no
more Of their comrade, cut the cable.
and sailed away. In memory OF this ex-
traordinary event, the people Of the Wiz
lage made the hinges Of the church
doors out of the iron Of the anchor" II
Is further stated that these hinges .are

like Munchausen's rope, wherewth ne
once climbed to the moon. If you doubt
ed the story. you were confronted with
the rope There is another queer tale
about this aerial ocean. "a merchant OF
Bristol" it is said "set sail with his
cargo for Ireland. Some time after.
while his family were at supper. a knife
suddenly fell I'm, through a window. on
the table. When the merchant re-
turned and saw the knife, he declared Il
TO be his own, and said that on such a
day, at such an hour while sailing in an
unknown part of the sea. he dropped the
knife overheard; and the day and the
hour were found TO be exactly the time
when IT fell through the window" All
Of which was orce implicitly believed by
many, and regarded as incontrovertible
proof Of the existence of a sea above the
sky. one is at a loss to conjecture how

nected with the rest of IT, A physical

effect being to lower the temperature OF

are filled with pills made OF a mixture
OF magnesia and potassium chloride mix
