FRENCH MONARCHY.
Weakness of the Orleans Family Who
Are the Principal Claim
ants 10 IL. 4-

The chief source OF English miscon-
ception respecting French affairs is the
demsion that the restoration of the
monarchy is possible. Thisought to be
dispelled by the practical knowledge
of the character of the pretenders, says
the New York Tribune. The duke of
Orleans, when not in Brussels, lives IN
England. lie is not a recluse, but IS
constantly seen in social life and never
has impressed anyone as having the
resources of character requisite for re-
gaining the crown. He is q bright
eyed, rosy-faced, callow youth, amiable
and. harmless. Everyone who has met
him smiles at the idea of his ever max
ing a serious attempt to overthrow the
republic; his functions are exhausted
in putting his signature to manifestoes
at a safe distance. A well-informed so
cial leader in London sums up the mat
ter thus:
1.-THE women in the Orleans family
have all the brains and talents; the
men have no force, and are of no ac-
count"
Prince Victor Napoleon lives in Brus-
sells and is equally incapable of rising
above the level of small-beer intrigue
The only prince now in sight who is
qualified by soldierly qualities and
reckless courage for campaign
against the republican order is his
brother, Prince Louis Napoleon, who is
popular with the officers of the Russian
army. He lacks training in public af-
fairs, and is suspected of being swag-
gering braggart. The republic is high
ly favored in having no really formid-
able royalist or imperialist conspiratoi
against it.

A FLOATING SNAIL.
An Interesting Little Creature That
SAFELY Sails While Great
Ships Sink.

There is q small snail which is so
fond of the sea that it never comes to
land, and it builds such capital boat
fer itself and its eggs that while large
ships are sinking and steamers are un-
able to face the storm it tosses about
in perfect safety, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The little snail is of violet color
and is therefore called Ianthina. 1t
has q small shell and there projects
from the under part of the body a long,
torgue-lilSe piece of flesh. This is the
raft, and il is built upon most scientific
principles, for it has compartments in
It for air. 1t is broad and the air COM
partments are underneath, so that it
cannot capsize.
Moreover, the snail knows how TO
stow away its cargo, for the oldest
eggs and those which hatch the soon
est are placed in the center and the
lightess and newest on the sides of the
raft. The Ianthina fills its own cir
compartments by getting a globule of
cir underneath its head, the body is
then curved downward beneath the
raft, and, the head being tilted on one
side, the air rushes in and fills the
spaces. 1t feeds on a beautiful little
Jelly fish, which has n fat, raft-like
form with a pretty little sail upon it,
and they congregate in multitudes
when the sea is calm.
Sometimes specimens are washed
upon the northwestern coast of France
and when they are handled they give
out a violet dye.

POLITICAL PROSECUTION PARAH.
LEI.

Governor-e.ect Stone, OF Pennsylva-
MIA, is friend OF Senator Quay. He
should be, Tor the senator made him
governor In an interview in which he
expresses the belief that Mr.. Quay will
be acquitted he says:
Il am opposed to political prosecu-
tions, such as the case now pending
against Senator Quay. They always
benefit the accused more than the
prosecution. The prosecution Of DR..
Swallow was mistake. II made a po-
litical martyr Of him and gave him So
600 votes in 1897 that he otherwise
would not have had. and 100000 votes
in 1898 that he otherwise would not
have received. The prosecution Of Sen.
ator Quay viii fail of its purpose. and
he Will be reelected TO the United
States Senate. Had they postponed his
trial until after the senatorial contest
was settled il would have had the an
pearance Of good faith and sincerity.
but pushing il now at this time. con
vinces all impartial observers that il
was brought mainly for the purpose of
preventing his reelection to the United
States Senate, and so apparent is
this fact that it is admitted by those
most active in the furtherance OF the
political inquisition. A strong sympa-
thy is setting in for Senator Quay. His
conviction would be misfortune for
the prosecution.

cal prosecution" is not confined 10 our
