deepen, especially such as have moun- tains near them, are more unstable than the coasts of shallow seas. The shorter and deeper slopes of mountain chains are the more unstable. Regions Of great earthquake frequency usually do not coincide with regions of many volcanoes; and earthquakes and volca- no phenomena are, in general indepen- dent of each other. The last statement is known to be true In many regions, and is proven by statistics, though it Is not so manifest in refernce to the leading authorities on earthquakes. M. de Montressus, who has made the com pilation referred to, states that from discussion of 63,555 shocks in 309 regions of the globe, shocks are equally proba- ble at any season of the year. He has also formed a table of the relative earthquake frequency in different To- calities. It is interesting to note that Manila and Porto Rico stand at the top of the list for frequency of disturbance.

LAWS ENOUGH.

There are laws enough to fit almost any situation. The trouble is they are not enforced. The assassination of the Austrian empress started a demand for more laws against anarchy and an- archists. The Pesther Lloyd of Vien- na points out that no more such laws are needed It reviews the legislation in relation to anarchism passed in diff ferent states during the last fifteen years. It begins with the laws against the criminal use of explosives adopted in England, an example that was fol- lowed a little later in Germany and Austria. Later on the Belgian laws af- fecting anarchism were made more stringent. Between 1892 and 1894 no fewer than three different acts were passed in France, and these received a sharp application after the murder of President Carnot. As a result of this crime by the Italian Caserio, three sim- liar laws were passed in Italy. They were suspended two years afterwards, but in consequence of the disturbances at Milan were reenacted in a more se- were form. Spain and Portugal have introduced similar notifications in their criminal legislation. Russia deals with the Nihilists in her own fashion. There is, therefore, no lack of legisla- ton on the subject, and the Pesther Lloyd argues that all that is necessary is that each nation should enforce en- ergetically it's own decrees. This would lead to a practical international agreement between all police authori- ties. It will remain for the different Powers to decide whether anarchist murders are to be dealt with as po- litical or common crime.

should open, with aggression. And
 chunks of Hygeia ice. Perfectly self contained, yet sharp as glittering steel;
 full of reminiscence and history, yet each fact of experience or tradition pro- jected as swift shaft piercing the ad-
 versary's jointed armor. The speaker glowed in the consciousness of his own inimitable powers and seemed to be thanking fortune for the long sought opportunity of displaying them.
 Then came the defense; calm, cool
 quiet, cautious at first, as every defense should be; then gradually warming up until, like an enraged Mccormick reap CT, the defense went at the aggressive and tore the grain of it's argument to pieces. After the principals came their followers, esquires and men-at-arms,
 until the battle was general. When every form and rule of rhetoric had ap-
 parently been exhausted some new speaker would arise to show that the ways and phases of Litchfield eloquence are inexhaustible Not an approach to personality; but one small innuendo;
 the utmost polish of reference, making the debate from end to end the most
 superb and enjoyable exhibition the
 world has probably ever beheld. Only,
 and there's the pity of it, the outside
 world did not believe it, only very
 scant and unworthy part of it.
 At one period of the debate when the
 atmosphere seemed surcharged with
 heat and electricity, a celebrated law
 yer of Litchfield descent and of New York renown thought 1t his duty to
 pour oil on the troubled waters, But the temperature of the waters was so high that the oil caught fire, burnt his fingers. and there was danger of un- iversal conf1agration. At another stage
 of the proceedings one of the speakers
 introduced the oratorical choke. None
 of your vulgar fish bone chokes, but the true oratorical choke, when the
 speaker Is, or appears to be, so much
 overcome by his feelings that he is choked or appears to be choked. for ut terance; and the audience is for sec- ond or two kept on the keenest edge of
 expectation not knowing whether the interrupted sentence will be complete, or whether the chap will actually have fit The oratorical choke must be managed with the utmost skill to save it from ridicule. Litchfelders who
 have travelled abroad, who were pres-
 ent, and who have seen the choke as
 presented at the capitals of Europe,
 unite in saying that never was the
 choke so admirably done; never were
 they so completely deceived. They for
 second actually expected blubber, a sneeze or apoplexy. The innuendo already mentioned was not introduced
 with the skill which should characterize | Litchfield's best efforts. In plain lan- guage it miscarried. The innuendoes is comparatively young and will im- | prove An innuendo should be so deft- ly put that the innuendoed doesn't req | lize his fix until the meeting is over and he is back in his study. Then like a flash it should come on him: "Good- | ness gracious. I have been innuen- doedi Then of course it will be too late to repel, hurl back, &c., sc. This particular innuendo was put so blunt | ly that the innuendoed instantly threw

trains from St. Petersburg, by way of Moscow and the Great Siberian railway to Port Arthur. It is claimed that when the trains and steamers are rum ming, which, it is expected, will not be later than 1903, the journey between London and say. Shanghai, will be re- duced to about twenty days, while the cost will be only one-half what it is now. The Manchurian line is being pushed on with all possible speed. Soon number of locomotives will reach Port Arthur, Talien-W Wan, and New chwang from the United States for use on this road. The Great Siberian rail- way is expected to reach Stretensk, on the Amur river, by the middle of next summer, when the journey can be quickly and easily continued by steam boat to the northern terminus of the Russo- Chinese line.

EASY GUAM.

Every cloud has a silver lining, and it doesn't always rain on the coast. It gives us sincere pleasure to read that there isn't going to be any trouble about Guam. This country has trouble enough on its hands, and if there should be Guam trouble In addition to the other troubles it would be too much, But Guam isn't going to be troublesome. Welcome, Guam! Come without trouble, and stay without trouble, except, of course the slight taouble by pronouncing correctly thy noble name.

Litchfielders are such self-con- tained beings that applause is as rare as it is valuable. But one outsider at tempted to participate in the debate. In any other company his attempt would have appeared commendable but in contrast with the genuine Litch- field article his efforts were very sad. Then came the voting. The successful measure was carried by so scant a ma jority that the matter whatever it was, cannot be regarded as settled. The

Look at all the lovely green spots In life's weary desert way; Think how many cooling fountains Cheer our fainting hearts each day. Count the mercies! Count the merces! See them strewn along OUT way. Count the mercies, though the trials Seem to number more each day; Count the trials. too, as mercies. Add them to the grand array. Trials are Gods richest blessings Sent to prompt our upward flight, As the eagles nest-al broken, Makes them fly to loftier height. Count them mercies. Count them mercies That bring Heaven within our sight. Let us number all our jewels,
 Let us estimate their worth;
 Let us thank the gracious Giver, Strewing blessings OCT the earth; Let our hearts oerfiow with gladness, Let us tell the wonders o'er Til, our multiplying treasures Seem a countless, boundless store, Then let praises. grateful praises, Be our language eyermOre.

boxes are lined with adjustable sachet bags of satin to match the gown, and taken altogether it is small wonder that Miladay's trunks are van full. With all this elegance her travelling dress is usually plain. The one the artist puts here is about the limit of tasteful or namentation in a travelling suit, and the costume is one that an economical woman might reproduce She would, of course, use it also as street suit, a practice that is common enough. It's material was gray covert cloth, revers on skirt and bodice were silver gray cloth, and the vest was gray foulard dotted with white. Applied in the lib- eral manner indicated was garniture of tiny buttons and dark gray cord.
 Double faced cloth appears in many varieties and is put to many uses. Orig inally intended for the golf cape, it now is made into all sorts of knockabout over-coverings. Some very swell ul- sters are army blue outside and scarlet inside. A stylish combination is a smooth, heavy twisted weave outside in very dark blue, the reverse being wooly fleece-surface of very dark green. Jaunty short jackets for general win ter wear come in solid color outside, with reverse of gay check, the check being more suitable for jacket lining than plaid. A variation on the double faced material is 8 silk-back wool. This is a suiting and is made up wool side out, the silk reverse taking the place of taffeta lining. The trouble is there isn't any rustic, and though the silk back adds to the richness of the wool surface, the material as whole is not as dressy as it's cost should secure.

4 NEAT SCHEME.

A Milwaukee firm of brewers, whose name we shall not mention, as the firm is of course not seeking an advertise ment, has made a novel proposition to asks that beer in place of champagne be used in christening the battle ship Wisconsin next month. The brewing company backs up the proposition with a clever argument in which it claims that as beer is a distinctly Wisconsin product, some of the largest breweries in the country being located there, it is eminently fit and proper that lager should be used in christening the big ship. Foreign champagne, it argues, is not proper fluid to be used, especially when a native product so we'll known around the world is right at hand. Tn earnest of its good faith the company offers, if this proposition is accepted, to have special bottle blown for the oc- casion and inclosed in a gold and silver net on which will be a plate engraved with picture of the Wisconsin and portrait of Miss Stephenson, who will christen the ship. The stopper of the bottle will be of solid silver and sur mounted by solid gold badger.
 This is rather neat scheme. But as beer is at least little intoxicating it is mineral water firm offer bottle of it's beneficent beverage?

RUSSIAN ENTERPRISE IN CHINA.

The Russians don't mean to lose any time in improving their advantages in China. A correspondent of the London Standard says that the Russo-Chinese Railway company will soon place orders for six fast ocean steamers to run be- tween the ports of Talien-Wan, Port Arthur, Shanghai, and Nagasaki, in connection with the trains on the Man. churian railway. The boats are to be of between three and four thousand tons actual carrying capacity, and will have a speed of fifteen knots Two will be ordered in Newcastle, one in Green ock, one in Holland, and the remaining two in Germany.
