GALL HIM DOWN.

It is becoming more and more eVl-
dent, every and every day, that the
Scion of Hohenzollern must be called
down by the United States of America
or otherwise this great nation
will stand in the estimation Of the
world in the attitude of a self-confess-
ed coward. Emperor Wilhelm and his
government and press. from the very
first hour that America called Spain TO
an account for the sinking of the
Maine and her Cuban outrages, have
united in insulting and beiittling the
people of this country. No patriotic or
self-respecting American could have
read the dispatch Of yesterday morning
announcing that ssven German war
vessels were now lying in Manila bay
without feeling a glow Of indignation.
And that menacing fact does not con-
stitute the sum total Of the insult. The
same dispatch declared that it was the
purpose of the German admiral TO land
his marines in Manila, in pursuance Of
instructions from Berlin, showing that
the authorities of the German empire
estimate the United States Of America
as less to be feared than monarchial
Spain. Emperor William never contem-
plated making a demonstration in the
Philippines until Dewey had sunk the
Spanish feet That cock of Inter dem
Linden walk was bullying China,
which had just been crippled by Japan,
and subsequently cowed by Russia,
when the opportunity came through
the bravery of Dewey and his men for
him to stick his nose in Manila for the
sole purpose of putting in a claim for
division with Germany.
In the election last week the German
people sat down on strutting Billy hard
and he is not to be permitted to pau
perize the Fatherland in forwarding
his personal and insane ambitions, The
great navy which he has been demand
ing will not be built. Upon the other
hand, the United States of America,
the country whose good people En-
peror William and his authorities are
menacing and snubbing so outrageous
ly, with what it now has on hand and
under construction, together with what
has been provided for, will have a navy
equalling the greatest in the world.
These facts not being lost sight of,
the German government should be i'm
mediately called down by the govern
ment at Washington without any ref
erence to the fact Of the war already
on hand. The German admiral in Ma
Mia bay should be promptly notified
by Dewey that he must not under any
pretences attempt the landing of ma
rines on the island of Luzon, or if he
should attempt to do so war would
commence then and there between
America and Germany "a war which
will presage and warrant a change Of
the entire map of Europe.
The Emperor of Germany has gone
into this matter prcmeGitatedly and
with malice aforethought. He has
estimated the chances and the proba-
bic cost upon the one side, and the i'm
mense gains for his empire anu prest-
ige for himself upon - other and
there is nothing left to do but to call
him and his empire down even at the
risk of war.

A NEW POSSESSION.

The Eagle some time since called at
tention to the two small islands on the
equator ,mid-Paciffc, some three hun
dred miles south of direct line to the
Orient, which belong to the United
States. 1t now seems that another and
beautiful little island turns up right on
a line between Honolulu and Manila
which also belongs to the Jurisdiction
of this country. 1t is nearly 2,700 miles
west of Honolulu and in the very door
way of Manila. 1t is known as the
Marcus of Weeks and is 200 miles
from Hawaii, more than half way to
Manila. 1t Is near the track of vessels
from Honolulu to Yokohama and has
been offered to the United States for a
coaling station. The island belongs to
Captain Foster, commander of a sail
ing vessel plying between the Orient
and San Francisco. He found it while
out cruising and took possession. 1t

American flag was hoisted over the
island and still remains there. sane
toned by Great Britain, France and
all the powers. The island is in 244
north, and 1912 east. 1t is about five
miles long and is densely covered with
trees and shrubbery. 1t has a white,
sandy beach, and near the center is a
knoll rising about 200 feet above the

neither was the question as to what
would be the status Of Porto Rico.
Both those questions were for future
determination and General Grosvenor
said he had no doubt they would be
determined by the president in a wise
and patriotic way. The only predic-

Kinley would never pull down the

THE EAGLES NEST.
Every yestige OF IL II Torn Up as soon
ms the Young Birds Are
Able 20 Fly.

In telling of the habits, haunts and
homes OF the eagle in Tennessee,
writer in the New York Post says:
The eagle either builds its nest upon the
top of mighty tree growing far up
on the mountain, among myriads OF
twining vines, and the thickest and
most inaccessible bushes or shrubs, or
on the summit of high rock. 1t Is al
ways a large one, strongly and comfort
ably built, large sticks and branches
being laid together, nearly fiat and
bound with twining vines. The spacious
inside is covered with hair and MOSES,
so minutely woven together that no
wind can penetrate. In this abode the
mother bird lays two eggs, which are
great curiosltles. The long end OF the
egg tapers down 10 a point, while its
color is dirt or brownish red, with
many dots and spots upon IL. The
young birds are driven forth from the
nest by their savage parents to scratch
for themselves as soon as they are able
10 fly, and no training whatever is given
them by the old bird. That Is left 10
their instinct, which hunger and neces-
sity develop. There is no going back
TO the old home for the young eagle. for
the mother bird at once tears up every
vestige of the nest where they have
thriven since birth, and while they emit
plaintive shrieks, darts at them and
pushes them off the crags or rocks, and
as they must take 10 their wings or fall,
this is how they learn to fly at once. 1t
takes three years for young eagle TO
gain it's full and complete plumage and
for the development of it's strength.
Once full grown, provided he does not
meet with n violent death, an eagle
should live between so and 100 years.

ON LAKE SUPERIOR.

I'm the whole world

article in st. Nicholas, written by w. g.
HARDWOOD Concerning Lake SUPERIOR
Mr.. Harwood sayss
1t is, to begin with. the largest body
of fresh water in the world. 1t Is water
of wonderful purity which IL holds, tool
and some time-and In the not very dis
tant future, either-the people who live
in the large cities to the west and south
will come to this lake to get the water
for their homes. 1t will not be so re-
markable an engineering feat to pipe
the water of this lake, pure and spark
ling and fresh from its cold depths, to
these cities which are now struggling
with the question Of their water supply
and meeting all sorts of difficulties in
their efforts to get water fit TO drink
All down through this thousand feet
OF blue there is peculiar GOODNESS. Az
the very most, the temperature varies
through winter and summer not more
than six degrees. Winter and SUMMER
this great lake never changes 10 any app
preciable extent, SO that II you dip your
finger-tips in the blue surface on day
in July, or II you test 1t some day in
early winter when you have been out on
some belated, ice-mailed fishing-smaclS,
or when you have gone out TO watch the
fishermen spearlng their supplies
through the thick ice in mid-January.
you will find but trifing difference in
the temperature. Away down at the
bottom, too, there is but little variation
in the temperature, for It stands at
nearly 40 degrees Fahrenheit at the bot
tom, and varies from 40 to 40 degrees.
winter and summer, at the surface.
The other lakes, though cold, are NOT
in this respect like Superior.
The whole bottom OF the lake is be-
lieved to be strong rock basin, though
II would seem that there must be great
