THE late William Morris views on
the laureateship, as made public in
Mr.. Mackalrs biography, were pecu-
liar and interesting. Mr.. Gladstone
was willing to offer Morris the success
sion to Tennyson, but, on being sound
ed, the socialist poet, although pleased
with the honor, declined unreservedly,
stating that, in his opinion, the func-
tion of poet-laureate was that of a GER
emoniul writer of verse, and that the
marquis of Lorne, the languidly liter
ary son-in-law of Queen Victoria, was
the fittest person to fulfill it.

DonbIr Fatal Explosion.

Marietta, June 13.-The factory OF
the Marietta Torpedo Co. was blown
up Monday with terrific effect. The
factory was totally demolished and
windows were broken all over the
city. Clyde Porter, aged 21. and Cal
Harte, aged As, were killed. Two
horses and n wagon were blown to
atoms. A large hole in the ground
where the wagon stood strengthens
the theory that the explosion occurred
from the carelessness of Porter, who
unloaded the explosive.

CHICAGO will be wiped off the map in
1900 years. This is what Prof. G. X.
Gilbert, the geologist, says. This city
is gradually being engulfed in Lake
Michigan by the gradual fitting of the
earth's crust. The water, according to
the professor, is rising az the rate of
nine or ten inches in century, and by
the year 3399 will be flowing uninter-
ruptedly over the natural watershed
hat separates the Mississippi and the
great lakes. Prof Gilbert's investiga-
tions have been in progress several
years.

The traditions of Yale university
have been smashed by the election of
Prof. Hadley as president of that insti-
tuition. He is under 4S years old for
one thing. Then he is not clergyman,
which has hitherto been regarded as
an iron-clad qualification in presiden-
cy of Yale. In addition to all that, he
is not professor of Greek, Latin, phil
osophy or any other of the so-called
couture" branches of education, but of
political science-the science of gov
ernment in its broadest sense.
