From these collections there is re-

When the hydrogen and oxygen,
which forms the compound substance
called water, first found it's resting

probably but one ocean, which prac-

these depths life first appeared here,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 25.-The
trouble between the Greeks and Turks
may end in the dismemberment of the
Turkish empire The loss Of Crete, 1t
has again and again been prOphesied,
would be the beginning ofthe end. Crete
is the key to the Dardanelles and the
Bosphorus. FOrtifcations here could
easily command the entrance to the
Black sea, and if the Greeks hold Crete
it is a question whether they will not
hold it for the Russians. This is what
the English feared when they pre-
vented Greece from taking the island
in 1869. This was shortly after the
marriage of King George to a Russian
princess, and the English were afraid
that his wife would turn his feelings
toward Russia. This danger exists to-
day. Queen Olga is a Russian Of the
Russians. She is, you know, the cousin
OF the present car. She was the niece
of Alexander IL, and her daughter
not long since married a Russian
prince l spent some time in Athens
just before the Princess Alexandra was
married, and during my stay had a
chance to learn much about the royal
family. 1 had an interview with the
king, through our minister to Athens,
and met many friends of Queen Olga.
She has practically Russianized the
king, l am told. He has not adopted
the Russian religion, but by law his
sons have to belong to the Greek
church, which is, you know, the church
of Russia. 1 was in Greece on the
kings birthday This is a national
holiday, and at such times the king
and queen appear at church together.
They sit upon chairs of gold, cushion
ed in red velvet, while all the rest
of the people in the church must stand
up. Queen Olga is very fine looking.
She is a blonde, with brown hair, regu-
lar features and a beautiful neck and
shoulders. She Is tall and stately, and
is every inch a queen. The Greeks are
very proud Of her They admire her
when she appears at her receptions In
gorgeous dresses wearing many pearls
and diamonds. They love her also be-
cause she does not put on airs, often
going about the city of Athens without
even a maid with her. The Greeks
are democrats, rather than rOyaliStS,
and they like the queens democratic
ways. They admire her also on &C
count of her character. She is a wO-
man of culture speaking nearly every
European language. AS soon. as she
became queen she took up the study
of Greek, and she is now the patron
of a number of schools for girls which
she has founded. 1t was in an indus,
trial school that the wedding dress of
the Princess Alexandra was made and
the work was done by young Greek
girls.
CHAT WITH THE KING.
l found that the king was very popu-
laI among the people. My audience
with him was arranged by our minister
to Greece. His majesty received me
in his palace, and from the democratic
way in ~aich he treated me 1 could
see why he is so much liked by the
Greeks. He shook my hand as L was
presented with a good deal more
cordiality than l have ever gotten. from
a president of the United States. He
looked, however, much more dignified
than any president ever did. He was

Treasurer of Nebraska.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. Plat noon
today, a warrant for the arrest Of ex-
Treasurer J. S. BARLEY was sworn out
by Attorney General Smythe, and plac-
ed in the hands of Sheriff Trompen,
of Lancaster county, for service. The
attorney general filed his complaint
before County Judge Cochrane at II
o'clock. The complaint charges Bart
ley with embezzlement on fourteen
counts. The first count charges him
with the embezzlement Of 0,101, this
being the amount appropriated by the
last legislature to reimburse the sink
ing fund for the amount lost In the
failure Of the Capitol National bank.
The fourth count charges BARLEY with
the embezZlement Of $201, 884.50, this be-
ing the general fund warrant drawn
and cashed by BARLEY and not turned
into the sinking fund. The seventh
count charges hdm with the embezzle-
ment of $537, 1928. The ninth count
alleges that on the 7th day of January,
1887, BARLEY enbezzled the sum Of
$337, S7803 These are the charges
against the ex-treasurer, the fourteen
counts all relating to the same charge.

CARE FOR NEW THINGS.
The Greeks of today are proud of 1t as
they are OF their old ruins, but so far as
could learn their minds are more in the future
than In the past. They have not the artistic
tastes Of thir fathers, and when spoken to
about Greece they will point with pride, not
to what the nation has been in the past, but
to the wonderful advancement that has been
made within the last generation. They con-
slider themselves a strong young nation ra-
Their than an old one, and they say that they
expect to raise Greece up to the status 1t
once held as one Of the greatest countries Of
the world. They are earnest in their deter
mination, and their future is certainly bright.
They have as good brains as any people of the
world They have the muscle and nerve
which make success. AS st. Paul once said
of them: They are always seeking after
some new thing" and he might have added,
had he visited them in these days, "they are
not afraid to seize hold hold of it when they
find it." If Turkey is to be divided you may
be sure that the Greeks will get something
out Of the leavings.

The latest estimated age of the world
has been divided into eras, periods and

long and covered such vast duration
of existence, that the thought brings
forcibly to mind that time had no be-

will the bulk Of extant matter ever be
reduced or increased. An intelligent
estimate of the duration of time di-
