81 have not yet lived 1000, 900
years" said Mr.. Goslington, "but so
far l observe that there is one form of
play that all boys have alike during a
considerable period of their youthful ex.
istence. This consists in pulling off 9TH
er boys hats and throwing them in the
street. The desire, or impulse, to do
this comes at a very early age, and it
remains in the boy until he is pretty
well grown.
at is not unusual to see boy 10 or
10 years old, or even older than that,
pull off another boys hat. usually in
such instances the hat Of a smaller boy,
and throw it away. Here the act is in

and it is a pretty mean thing for the
big boy to do, but little boys do this
thing just out Of sheer playfulness

"We.were on the point of driving out

Three Layers of Atmosphere.

It appears that in the atmosphere
there are practically three distinct cur.
rents of air, the first lying at an eleva.
tion of from 900 to 1900 meters, the
second at from 2, 900 to 4, 900 meters
and the upper one at from 5000 to
5000 meters above the surface of the
earth These are, to an extent, separate
currents, flowing each with its own
velocity At the bottom of each of the
layers the stratus clouds are formed,
and at the top of each of the layers o.
cur the cumulus clouds This suggests
that the stratus originate at the bottom
of a moving current and the cumulus at
the top 1t is probable, then, that the
stratus owe their origin to the difference
in velocity and temperature of the two
layers, while the cumulus are formed
by ascending currents within the layer
of air. Professor f. H. Bigelow

A PARALLEL.

Sometimes adown the city street,
Where beauty's a forgotten thing
The voice of some lone bird thrills s,yess
With tidings of the faroG spring
So, IN my heart, when all is dark
And patience sicIens to despair,
Hope flutters like prison'd lark
And pouTs her rapture on the air
! cannot tell why this should be
While sorrows cup Is yet to drain,
And every pleasure comes to me
Like storm strewn roses ilaw'd with pain
But we are one the bird and l.
In suffering and yearnng one.
With memories that cannot die
OF how'rs, blue ocean and the sun

The Empire Is Upon Us.

At the beginning of hostilites we
suggested that these fearful compli.
cations were likely to occur, and the
only answer was, ooh, we can lick
the world" Mr.. Chamberlain's
speech, in England, declaring for an
Anglo-American alliance, is an awful
defamation that marks the closing
OF the old and the beginning OF a
new epoch in the history of the
world. 1t is trumpet blast ringing
from heaven to hell, that arrays the
nations of the world against each
other; all the nations OF Latin, or
German, or Slav origin against the
Anglo-Saxons. Are we prepared for
it9 This is the tremendous phase
the war with Spain the American
land pirates have inaugurated
threatens to take on. 1t is a mon
strous thing to contemplate. So
terrific in its possibilities that men
refuse to contemplate it. But that,
nevertheless, is to be the issue; that
is to be war. All the principles that
underlie our government policy; that
Washington and Jefferson taught us
and admonished us, il we desire the
perpetuity and glory of our country
to observe, are to be "turned down"
or to become the mere clap-trap of
schools and OF closet scholars and
patriots. War and conquest be be-
fore us, the republic is fading away;
war and conquest confront us and
the man on horseback rides out of
the shades, the empire is upon u.s.

YET URGING ANNEXATION.

Friends Of the Scheme Very Active
Necessity is Pointed Out-Isl-
ands Said to be Necessary as
Supply Base-speaker Reed,
However, Is Holding Out and Is
Apparently Determined to Check
the Plan.
Special Despatch to The Call.
New York, May 29.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Herald
telegraphs: Senator Lodge, probab-
ly, will not be able to obtain the
adoption of his Hawaiian annexation
amendment to the war revenue bill,
but he intends to keep up the fight.
He said to-day that he was entirely
satisfied with the situation. He be-
lieves that he and other friends OF
annexation will be able to bring the
necessity for the possession of the
islands so forcibly to the attention
OF the country that an irresistible
sentiment for immediate action will
pour in upon Congress,
Speaker Reed still holds out in
opposition to the administration
and the great majority of his party
in both houses of Congress. He has
not yet given any assurance that he
will allow the annexation resolution
to be considered.
Advocates OF the measure in the
House are determined, however, that
he shall not be allowed to control
the action, and they are continuing
their preparations for a caucus on
Tuesday or Wednesday, if they do
not in the meantime obtain def
mite promise from the Speaker.
In some quarters Reed and the
combination of Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans who form
the bulk of his supporters are severe.
ly criticized. Their conduct is de-
nounced as being little less than
reasonable, in view of the urgent
necessity of making Honolulu the
base OF war operations in the Pacific.
CHICAGO, May pa special to the
News from Washington says:
Speaker Reed is using the following
argument as his reason for opposing
the annexation Of Hawaii. An an
nexation resolution cannot pass
Congress. An attempt will result
10 debate that will be acrimonious
and profitless. 1t will prolong Con-
gress indefinitely and keep the men,
bers here when they should be home
looking after their campaigns. The
debate would inject into the Con-
gressional contests an issue that is
wholly foreign to their merits and
could only result in confusion, The
debate would have bad effect on
the country and the party.
