Annuitnnts Never Die.
fFrom the PAN Mall Gazette. }


Annuitants never die. The fact has just been
illustrated by circular from the Spanish min
istTy Of justice the collective pTeates of Spain
A law was passed in 1857 dealing with the Span
ish national debt. according to which law there
were certain nuns in Spanish converts and sis
terhoods who held lien on the state for small
allowance to be paid by the treasury to each
member yearly. The circular goes on to state
in calm, official style that IN 1887 the youngest
of these religious ladies seventeen, the cid
est was sixty-six Between them comes a yarv-
ing list of ages, and all these ladies. be it re-
membered state annuitants. And now We
in 1898. and not a single death has been re-
corded in these sixty-une years. The nuns have
with complete unanimity and Uniformity paced
peacefully through the century and remain a
compact and unbroken body OF annutants still.
The youngest would be seventy the eldes;
hundred and twenty-seven, and almost all
the others have scored their three figures. The
treasury finds something suspicious in this un-
broken succession of centenarians, costing it no
less than 10000 francs. Their lordships are
asked for explanation, and the venerable nuns
invited to furnish some proof that they really
are alive, failing which," said the circular
abruptly, .ye shall be scheduled as dead

Extrn Sessions.

From the st. Louis Globe DemOcrat.)
Present opinions to whether there will or
will not be an extra session of the next Con-
gress are worth very little. The desirability OF
settling the political status of our new possess
sions as possible is understood by every
body. The present Congress- in the coming short
session, will probably have no time TO devote to
this subject and the question is too important
to be rushed through hastily. These considera-
tions might seem 10 Justify called session. but
the matter may have a different aspect three
four months hence. The situation has not
shaped itself with sufficient defniteness to war
rant an intelligent opinion on the question yet.
No President calls an extra session except where
the reason are very manifest and urgent. There
reasons of this sort in 1893, when Presi-
dent Cleveland summoned Congress in that year,
and the same true OF the situation in 1897.
when President Mckinley brought the present
Congress together. What the situation in the
spring and summer of 1863 will be cannot be
ioretold with any confidence now.

Tonnage and Displncement.
From the Engineering News.)

At the present time, when naval matters are
a source of great interest to the general public.
one continually finds the terms displacement
and ''tonnage' improperly used, both in the
daily press and in common speech. The con-
fIsion between the terms would not occur il
their meaning were understood. Displacement
refers to the quantity OF liquid displaced by the
immersed hull of the ship, and tonnage" to the
freight carrying capacity of the ship determined
by certain rules Of measurement.
The displacement OF vessel is the entire
weight OF the hull with all its contents, accord
ing 10 the wellknown law on hydrostatics that
a floating body dispaces a weight of fluid just
equal to its own weight. A ship sinks in the
water to such a level that the pressure OF the
fluid displaced exactly counterbaanccs the weight
OF the ship.
