Geology.

The scientific beginnings OF geology
are said to have been treated OF IN
Chinese works long before the Chris
tian era. Some degree Of geological
information is displayed in the book Of
Job, several passages of which have
been held to indicate an exact knowl-
edge of the different strata of the earth.
The science is treated Of by Aristotle,
Pliny and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what may be called an
exact science until the present century.

President Kruger of the Trans
vaal Makes a Sensational
Statement.
Great Britain, He Says, Has
No Suzerainty Over His
Country.
The Convention of 1884 Failed
to Mention the Matter in
Any Way.

PRETORIA, Aug. 26.-At meeting of
the volksraad President Kruger de-
livered speech which is likely to cause
the greatest excitement in Great Brit.
ain. He said that the relations between
Great Britain and the South African
Republic are regulated by the conven.
ton of 1884. He added that in the con-
vention Of November, 1881, reference
to the suzerainty of Great Britain did
appear, but that in the next convention
OF 1884, no. single word appeared
bearing precisely upon that point. and
since then the suzerainty had ceased to
to exist. This, he continued, did not
do away with the fact that the South
African Republic and the whole nation
recognized the convention and would
endeavor to maintain it entirely,
but they could not recognize
the suzerainty Of Great Britain,
because it was entirely opposed
to that convention. They wished to
maintain a friendly relationship with
the whole world and in this way race
hatred would gradually disappear.
Wherever love dwelt, said the president
in conclusion, the blessing of God
would follow.
President Kruger's remarks were
greeted with the loudest applause from
all present.
