An expedition is being sent from Eng

scum of ancient types of animal life,
says the Baltimore Sun. 1t is a fresh
water lake which is supposed to have

the ordinary lake fauna, but it has also
a large number of animals of an essen
tally marine characteristic, mollusks.
medusae and sponges whose structure
proclaims their relation to oceanic
forms. What is still more curious is
the fact that its living inhabitants are
more closely allied to marine fossils of
remote geologic period than to their
eongeners now living in the ocean.
Tanganyiha has the ancestral types,
while those now in the ocean are modi-
fed forms.
1t is inferred that the lake was cut off
from the sea at time when the forms
now fossil in Europe existed in the
ocean at large and that these forms
have been able to adapt themselves to
fresh water. Ten years age q .jellyfish
like those of the sea was found in Tan
ganyilla, and since then numerous
shellish and sponges belonging to the
sea have been found there.
This reads like scientific fairy tale
and eXcites great deal of interest. The
outgoing expedition will examine Lakes
Kivu and Albert Edward, as well as
Tanganyika, and hope to find facts
tending to solve the puzzle

PLASTER CASTS.
with Them Hot Water Is Used First
to Reduce the Inflammat ton
In Sprains.

"Plaster casts are now entirely re-
lied upon in sprains as far as the limbs
are concerned" explained a well-known
surgeon to Washington Star reporter,
''as we'll as in the treatment of frac-
lures. And beyond the cast there is no
further treatment necessary. The cast
should, however, not be put on until
the Inflammation in consequence of the
injury has disappeared. To reduce the
Inflammation continuous application of
hot water is found to be the most effica-
cious remedy. When once the inflam-
nation has gone down an antiseptic
bandage should be put on the in jured
part, and on this the plaster, bandages
and splints. This incases the hand, arm,
foot or leg in plaster boot (which keeps
it's place and keeps the injured part in
tact. The old-time idea that sprains
should be treated with embrocations
and liniments, which hung on for so
long, has about disappeared in the mod
ern method of treatment, and expert
ence has shown that a cast is a much
safer way of treating a sprain than by
rubbing it with liniments. 1t is, be-
sides, much more rapid way of re-
storing the functions of the injured
part. The cast should be kept on as
long as possible--at least week un-
der all circumstances, and in cases of
a sprained foot, ankle or leg for ten
days longer. In cases of injury caused
by sprain of the ankle or foot the plas-
ter cast should under no circumstances
be removed in less than a week, for the
greatest care is required in their treat
ment, otherwise the injury becomes
permanent"

Our History and Our Duty.

Our duty. then, is not hard to see,
nor is it hard to foresee how we shall
meet it, says the March Atlantic" for
our policy is clearly determined by
greater forces than Senatorial :esolu-
tons and peace treaties. To under
stand how inevitable d policy it is, we
have only to keep in mind the cumula-
tive effect of three great forces-so
great that no other three forces in mod
ern times may be put beside them: The
successful world girdline spread of our
family, first as colonizers in temperate
climates, and then as guarantors of or
der and promoters of commerce in the
tropics; the continuity of English his
tory in our own history, OF English in
stitutions in our institutions. most CT all
of English blood in our blood. and of
English ways in our ways; and the
third fact that in efficiency in practical
tasks for the American. with free OPP
portunity for development during all
the generations of his independence, has
man for man, outstripped his insular
kinsman, and has at last come to I'M
derstand his capacity
Our history and our ideals forbid our
having colonies" in the old sense, as
dependencies to be governed for the di-
rect benefit of those that govern
The conception of colony has radically
changed with the spread of democratic
ideas. 1t had one meaning in the ear
ly days of British authority in India,
and it has another meaning in these
days of British authority in Egypt. 1t
may be our good fortune still further to
soften this meaning until it come to
signify only help toward free govern
ment; for the only kind of government
that we can be a party to is a govern
ment as free as conditions will permit.
and guaranteed by US as fast as con-
ditions will permit to become self gov
eminent. We have neither an histori-
cal nor moral right to fix our rule,
as permanent foreign rule, over any
people. But the duty is laid on US so
to direct and to control the helpless
political life of these cid Spanish colo
MES as to bring it as fast and as far
toward self government as may be,
relaxing our hold as their advancement
permits. In character the problem is
the same in Cuba, in Porto Rico and in
the Philippine Islands, and different in
each only in the stage of its solution
1t matters little whether it be ten years
or century before we can be rid of
the obligation to control and to direct
their political life; but it matters much
whether we recognize in the beginning
that we have not the right of con-
querors, but only the duty of protec-
tors.

WASHINGTON, March 24-There rs
some suggestion that Mr.. Blaines plan
of a partition of Samoa may again be
brought forward, although it has not
assumed official form thus far. 1t is
based on the idea that as the Samoan
group consists of three large islands
each of the three interested nations
would take one of the islands. The
Germans insist they have predominant
ing influence on the large island of
Upola, where the capital, Apia, is stu
ated, and that in any partition Upola
would fall to Germany. On this basis
the eastern island of Tuluila, with it's
harbor of Pago-Pago, would fall to the
United States. and the large western
island of Savoy to Great Britain.
AT present this Government is pre-
pairing to take possession of it's har-
Dor of Pago-Pago, and collier is now
loading at Norfolk with supplies for
that point. But while it is one of the
best naval harbors on the Pacific, there
is much doubt whether this Govern
ment would be contented with a naval
harbor alone while Germany absorbed
the rich commercial parts of the island
group. Nor is it believed Great Britain
would accept a partition which assigns
to her the western island, which is bar
rem and mountainous.
While, therefore. the partition of Sa-
moa is being put forward in a tentative
way, it appears to involve too many
animcsities to prove a practicable solu-
ton. Germany probably would accept
such solution. as it would give back
that commercial preponderance the
Germans have lacked since the treaty
of Berlin was made. At that time
William Walter Phelps, our Minister at
Berlin, forwarded to Mr. Blaine ex-
tracts from the great organs Of German
political sentiment, all expressing dis
appointment at losing the preponderat-
ing force they had formerly exercised.
The Berlin .Kreus Zeitung'' lex
IRENE Conservative said: German in
fiuence is no longer to be allowed pre-
ponderating force. and the German ele-
ment is to be reduced to the level of
other foreign elements, although two
thirds of all foreigners in Samoa are
Germans, and four-fifths of all the
trade is in German hands," The mod
crate and radical views were similar.
In this view it would appear that
any reputation of the treaty of Ber-
lin would be in line with German po-
litical sentiment as communicated by
MIR. Phelps to Mr.. Blaine at the time
the treaty was made.
