Water Can Hit Hard.

Landsmen who are slow to realize
the tremendous force Of the sea had an
object lesson ashore in this city the
other day when five large tanks, built
to contain 100000 pounds Of soap, but
temporarily filed with water, and sit
uated on the fourth floor Of a large
building on West Fifty-second street,
this city, collapsed and completely
wrecked the whole structure, killing
three men and doing large amount of
damage. The tanks were each fifteen
feet high and about thirteen feet diam
eter, and contained 161, ,703 pounds of
water, but the floors and supporting
beams proved altogether inadequate to
stand the strain. A wave of the dimen-
sions of one Of these tanks is not at all
unusual at sea, and when such a wave
breaks on a vessels deck the force of
the blow can only be estimated by the
amount of damage it does In spite of
the elasticity Of the water beneath the
vessel to ease her in receiving the
shock When the city fremen state
that a stream from a hose under fifty
pounds pressure will cut through any
ordinary brick wall, the force Of the
sea in a gale may be, perhaps, better
magined.-Marine Journal.

palate, and that her tonsils were quite

down at night, and she thought it was
a worm. l told her that I thought

some alum and a preparation of iron.
L put the alum on spoon and touched
it to her palate. You know how alum

New Era for Siberia.

A new era has just begun in the his.
tory of Siberia. Since the beginning OF
this month the whole of that vast
Asiatic empire of the Gar has become
endowed with q modern and uniform
system of public justice. Law courts
have been opened in the various pro
vincial capitals, and the principal tri-
bunaI of appeal of Siberia has been es-
tablished at Irkutsk. Until now there
has been no system Of legal procedure
whatever in Siberia, the entire country
being subject exclusively to the arbi-
trary administration Of autocratic Off
cials. True, there Is yet room for i'm
provement, since for the present there
Is to be no trial by jury, while the JUS
tees of the peace are to be appointed
by the crown, instead of being elected
by the people Of the district. At the
same time the new system is certain to
constitute a salutary check upon the
hitherto unbridled tyranny of Russian
officialdom in Siberia.

Great Gatherings.

England still resounds with the
echoes of the great diamond jubilee
celebrations, the crowning feature of
which was the review Of the fleet. So
huge an aggregation Of warships was
never before witnessed in the history
of the world. Our Canadian neighbors
have had modest anniversary celebra-
ton of their own, in honor Of the COM
plet1on of the thirtieth year Of the es-
tablishment Of the Dominion Govern
ment. San Francisco last month gave
a most magnificent welcome to the
many thousands Of young people who
had assembled for the annual conven-
ton of the Christian Endeavor Socie-
ties. At Milwaukee the annual meet
ing Of the Educational Association was
a conspicuous success. These two great
gatherings at Milwaukee and San Fran
cisco were illustrative Of the forces
that are giving direction and character
to our American civilization. Our Brit
ish friends have been in the seventh

discovery Of the amazing benehcence of
