1t is truly singular that the slaughter
OF q few hundred or thousand seals on
and near the shores of far-away Alaska
should get this and several other large
natieas into what looks much like a
quarrel, while campaigns of extermina-
ton, now in progress right here at
home, and involving interests vastly
more important, create no excitement
at all. For what is the value of every
seal alive compared with that of our
rapidly disappearing forests? AS one

The dual monarchy, Austria Hun

tary and constitutional crisis of Sc.
rious character. There exists between
the two States which constitute the
monarchy an "Ausgleich," or compact,
which regulates their relations and fix
es their respective contributions to
common expenditures. This compact
runs for ten years, and expires the pres
ent year An Intellectual attempt has
been made by Austria to secure new
adjustment of the financial burdens of
the common government so that Hun
gary should bear larger portion than
formerly. AS compromise, it is pro-
posed to renew. the Ausgleich for a
year on the old terms; and the Hungar-

purpose.

James B. Angel, the United States
Minister to Constantinople, has re
newed our demand for indemnity be-
cause of losses suffered by American
missionaries in Armenia. The Porte
has continued to meet the demand with
the declaration that it is not response
BILE for the losses because they grew
out of a revolutionary movement. Min
lister Angel insists on Turkeys respon-
sibility because it's troops participated
in the outrages. Turkey replies that
the troops were suppressing the reyo-
luton and that the missionaries and
their property happened to be in the
way. The chances are that this kind
Of discussion will continue for some
time before any indemnity is forthcom-

less would be that which Germany has
adopted in connection with other sim

The interior of the boat can be made

from the dynamo, on which are three
incandescent lights. The boat can be
raised and lowered at the rate of three
feet a second, and she dives in the
water as readily as duck in response
to an almost imperceptible pressure by
the pilot. AS experimental with up to
date the boat has been run at rate Of
fourteen miles an hour on the surface
Of the water, while an approximate
speed of ten miles has been attained
under the water, but for all ordinary
trips she has been run at rate of from
three to five miles per hour. The in

Invention of Richard Raddatz Swims
and Dives Like Duck.
The Raddatz submarine boat has
been recently submitted to various
tests, which, it is claimed, amply prove
It's approximate perfection. The young
inventor is Mr.. Richard Raddatz,
whose fame had not extended beyond
the limits of his native town of Osh-
kosh, Wis, before he became the in
ventor of boat, the principle of which
has been a problem that has absorbed
inventors and men of science for many
years.
The boat as she is today looks very
like a war vessel of the most aggres-
sive type; her steel PROV being strong
enough to pierce the sides Of any ar
mored cruiser and very likely that of
any man-of-war. In appearance she is
shaped like huge cigar or torpedo,
tapering gradually to either end, and
presenting to the water a surface in
which the resistance is practically re-
duced to nothing.

A pamphlet has been prepared for use
in the schools of New England town,
which reyerses the usual method of
teaching history, and begins with the
town itself. 1t describes the town geo.
graphically in it's relations to neighbor-
ing communities. It describes the
geological formation of the area which
the town covers. 1t tells briefly the
story Of it's settlement and early his
tory, points out noteworthy buildings,
and gives an account of the services of
it's citizens. Then it describes the
methods of town government, shows
what officers are chosen to carry on
the town affairs, and what each one
does, and tells how taxes are raised and
town uses. The pupil who learns what
is in this little book will have at least
the rudiments Of local history, local
geography and local government. He
will gain clearer ideas Of the relation
of things and men around him to the
State and nation, and Of the relation
Of present conditions to those that are
past. Usually history and government
and similar subjects are taught
through general statements and prin-
ciples. There is an obvious advantage
in beginning with what Is near at
hand, for the pupils own observations
stimulate his curiosity and interest. In
another way, such instruction as this
which is attempted in Brookline may
bic useful. One of the greatest needs
Of the time is a higher standard of citi-
zenship. 1t is in town or city admins
tration that questions of government
come closest to the individual citizen;
yet it is these usually In which least
interes. is taken. If some knowledge
Of these matters be early impaired in
the schools, the voters of the next gen
Grafton should take a keener interest
in local government, and should be
better equipped to deal with its prob
lens.

Havana has one of the most beauti-
full cemeteries on the western heml-
sphere. Money has been lavished up
on it and its costly monuments are
works of fine art. The long, narrow
passages Of the city of the dead are
closely fringed with magnificent mar

lection towers beautiful and impress
siye pile which, in view of present con-
ditions on the island, possesses consld-

The beautiful memorial is called the
Monument to the Students. Sons OF
Cubans attending the University OF
Havana have always been against the
Spanish rule on the island and nave
had anti-tyranny clubs. One night nj
ty or more years ago a party OF these
incipient revolutionists, bubbling over
with the foolish patriotic enthusiasm
Of youth, climbed the cemetery fence
and smeared the tomb of dead cap

tyrannical toward the native popula-

properly punishable by expulsion or

properly called-demanded that les

Most of the many and serious trou-
bles that have occurred in the coal
mining regions of Pennsylvania in re-
cent years have been directly charged
BILE to the excessive greed of the mine
owners. In order to get cheap labor
they imported a sQualid mass OF 1g-
norance and poverty. In order to still
further cheaper labor they have, in
plain violation Of the State laws, main
tanned company stores and virtually
compelled the miners to get their fam
lily supplies thereat. The law declares,
in the plainest terms, that NO coal min
ing employer shall own or be intea'"e
ed in company or partrc-. Up store.
In some instances, the employees are not
permitted 70 save dollar, and many of
them are kept constantly in debt at
stores where they are compelled to eX-
pend their money if they would assure
continued employment. This is sla-
very, and it is little better than that
peculiar institution which once -four
ished in the Southern States. 1t is true
that the coal operators cannot buy and
sell human beings, and in that respect
their victims have the advantage over
the slaves that worked ON the Southern
plantations. But the masters of the
blacks We're obliged to feed, clothe, and
shelter the feeble and helpless, and this
obligation does not attach. to the mine
owners. Such liberty as belongs to the
men, who are kept in debt by mampu-
lation of book accounts, is sham.
They cannot get means to move their
families if they desire to break away
from bondage. And if they could go to
other mines where that kind Of slavery
does not exist, they would get NO EN-
ployment, because they had left unpaid
debts.
