THE JANUARY MAGAZINES.

ner's of Importance, associated with the
most loved man among modern novelists is
"The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson,
edited by his friend Sidney Colvin. The best
of these have been classified for magazine
presentation, and, altogether, they will
reveal his friendships, many of them with the
most distinguished writers of his time. The
letters in the January number were written
by Stevenson rs n boy of eighteen, when
engaged in engineering excursions con
nected with his fathers business as "A con.
structor of lighthouses They show that the
boy Stevenson was Il born writer and a
shrewd observer of eccentric characters.
The illustrations are drawings by Peixotto.
The question of the bearings of our federal
constitution on the government of newly
acquired territories, about which so much
haze seems to have gathered In the popular
mind, is very clearly aud exhaustively
treated in the American Monthly Review OF
Reviews for January by Prot. Harry Pratt
Judson, of the University of Chicago. Pro
fessor Judson reaches the conclusion that the
constitution presents no difficulties whatever
to our acquisition AMI control of such terri
tories as the Philippines. for example.

THE YEARS SEALING.


1t is reported that the Anglo American
Joint High Commission has reached an
agreement on all points of dispute
between this country and Canada except
that of reciprocity in trade, ard that a
treaty for their final settlement will be
concluded before the commission is dis
banded. If so, the commission has done
fully as well as it was expected to do.
There was scarcely room to hope. even,
that it would settle all controversies. In
settling all but one, and in erOusing and
establishing between the two nations an
earnest desire for amicable relations. the
commission will have performed one of
the greatest possible services to all con-
cerned.
According to the report, agreement
must have been reached on the sealing
question. That invests with peculiar
interest the statistics of the last seasons
operations of the Canadian sealing fleet
as showing the magnitude of the industry
affected. The year seems to have been,
on the whole, an exceptionally good one.
The seals are more and more abandoning
their old haunts and seeking new ones,
so that the sealers have to hunt for them
and sometimes miss them altogether.
But when they do find them they find
them in great numbers and secure a rich
booty of skins. In 1897 siXty.five vessels
went out and secured only 30, 600 skins, or
1862 apiece. This year only thirty-five
went tout and secured 27,S65 skins, or
79G apiece. This year about 300 white
men and 80 Indians were engaged in the
Industry. and the value of the catch
amounted to not far from $500, 900.
There have been conflicting rumors
about the form of settlement of this
question reached by the commission.
1t has been stated with great positiveness
that the British commissioners have
agreed to close out the Canadian sealing
industry altogether, in return for a cash
indemnity based upon the value of the
vessels engaged in it. On the other
hand, it is also stated that the British
commissioners will not consent to any
such thing. We shall see when the
proper time comes. What is evident
from the years statistics is that the
Canadian sealing industry, while in a
prosperous condition, is by no means of
so great magnitude as to be paramount
over all other international interests.
There is reason for confidence, therefore,
that the commissioners have reached
some settlement which will be equitable
and satisfactory all around.-New York
| Tribune.

DIVING BELL.

The light has to be a very strong one,
because the water is very dense at
that depth and the rays will not pene-
trate to any great distance.
One of the great advantages of the
machine lies in the fact that it can be
moved about at will. 1t is fitted with
three screws, which drive it along, and
it is guided with a rudder. The motive
power is electricity. The workers in
the machine, therefore, can move about
at will and see where they are going.
1t is claimed that the apparatus is
absolutely safe and that the men in it
can remain underneath the water so
long as they desire without experience
ing any i'll effects.
In nearly all apparatus for diving the
air pressure is depended upon to equal
ize the water pressure and this neces-
sarly limits the depth to which divers
can descend. But in this machine its
great natural strength makes it indie
pendent of the air pressure.

Women Should Know 1t.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease
is not correctly understood. They have
been led to believe that womb trouble OF
female weakness of some sort is respon-
sible for the many Ills that beset woman
kind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism, dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty sup
ply of urine with strong odOr, frequent
desire to pass it with scalding or burning
sensation. sediment in it after standing
in bottle or common glass for twenty
four hours, are signs of kidney and
bladder trouble.
The above SYMPTOMS are often attribute
ed by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief. because they are treating, not
the disease itself, but a reflection Of the
primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and both need the same remedy.

FOR DEEP SEA WORK.
A HUGE SPHERE OF CAST IRON TO
RESIST ENORMOUS PRESSURE.

1t Can BE Worked ~ n Depth Of More
Than n Quarter Of n Mne-Provfded
With All Sorts of Appliances to FR-
cilitate the Work.
Now an inventor has come along
with a new apparatus. 1t is diving
bell and is designed especially for very
deep work.
1t is essentially a huge sphere of
cast iron, because a sphere will, of
course have the greatest strength in
resisting the enormous water pressure.
The iron is covered with oilcloth three
inches thick.
On the top is a hand rail, in the
center of which is a trap door through
which the workers can enter. Then
the door is screwed down and the APP
paratus is made air tight.
The diving globe is constructed to
work at a depth Of about 1900 feet,
that is, more than a quarter of a mile.
