The Toronto World says that in its
war with Spain the United States
stands for Anglo Saxon civilization.
1.-THE line of cleavage, it declares,
between the two opposing forces Of
was apparent the moment
the European powers proposed to inter
fere in the Spanish. American trouble.
Great Britain instinctively recoiled
from such proposal, as she knew we'll
that the joint interference Of the powers
meant the sacrifice Of the principle on
behalf Of which the war has been IN.
dertaken by the United States. The
chances are that the com batants will DO

may be forced into the struggle. In that
event it will be the Anglo Saxon

On n certain hot summer day a cele-
brated naturalist entertained a company
Of distinguished savants at dinner, AT
the conclusion of which they all went
out in the garden.
In the center Of the grounds there
stood on a pedestal II large glass globe.
One of the guests happened to touch
this globe, and found, tO his amaze
mcnt, that it was warmer on the shady
side than on the side turned to the sun.
He communicated his discovery to the
guests, who at once proceeded TO verify
the statement.
What could be the cause?
An animated discussion ensued, in
the course Of which every imaginable
law of physics was made to account for
the strange paradox. At length our
scientists agreed that it must he Sc

The host was, however, not quite

Geography is not only one OF the
most important as well. 1t is not OF
value to the student alone. but to every
man and who wishes to keep
in touch with the happenings of the
great world about them. The news
from distant parts of the earth, which
is brought to the breakfast table every
morning, is much Of it little better
than Greek to the person who Is un-
familiar with geography. In fact the
stirring events OF the world compel
those who desire to have the correct
knowledge of them TO be daily students
OF this important branch OF education.
This truth is apparent to anyone who
has tried to follow the course Of our
war with Spain. Before Admiral Dew
ey's victory how many people knew the
location of Manila and the Philippine
islands? The Cape Verde islands,
where the Spanish fleet modified, and
the Dry Tortugas where IL fleet
collected, preparatory to the search
for Cervera and the commandment OF
Santiago de Cuba, are now familiar
names.
During the past year we have had In
teresting news from Alaska, Armenia,
Japan, China, India, Greece and Tur-
key. In these troublous times, a
knowledge OF the geographical forma-
ton Of the countries Of the globe. their
colonies, and the location Of the chief
towns and rivers is Indispensable to
one who would read his daily paper in
diligently.
Appreciating the great usefulness OF
accurate and clear maps in studying
the various phases OF the war. The Re-
publican has arranged with Rand. Nc
