Nine Months History OF China.

Briefly, the events Of the past nine
months may be thus summarized:
Russia is firmly ensconcing herself In
Manchuria, has violently vetoed a
British loan for the Northern Railways
extension, is arming to the teeth at
Port Arthur and Ta-lien-wan, and is
monthly pouring out reinforcements
to the Far East; Germany, establish
ed in Shan-tung, declines to pledge her
self to any liberal commercial policy,
and advances claims to exclusive
rights as regards railway construction
through the Shan-tung province, es-
pecially the trunk line from Tien-tsin
to Ching-kiang 1.-THE most promising
line in China; France is putting for
ward preferential claims Of a compre-
hensive character in connection with
her leasehold acquired in Southern
China-the West river, which was sup
posed to be opened long ago, being
still practically unopened; France and
Russia are actively interesting them
selves in the sanctioned trunk line
from Pekin to Han-kow, and its pro-
posed extension from Han-kow to the
south: Japan is in Formosa, with a re-
y%ersionary claim on Fo-kien province.
a territory of great value. On Great
Britain's side there is nothing tangi-
BILE except the acquisition Of Kow-
lung, which, as it stands, Is far from

PHILIPPINES MINERALS.
Gold, Silver. Copper. Coal, Iron, Marble, and
Other Valuable Deposits.

Admiral Dewey has forwarded to
the Navy Department a memorandum
on the mineral resources Of the Philip
pines, prepared at the AdmiraIs re-
quest by Professor George +. Becker,
Of the United States Geological Sur
vey. Professor Becker made extern
sive researches and consulted all the
available authorities. Only abou a
score of the several hundred islands.
he says, are known TO contain de-
posts of valuable minerals. He in
cludes a table showing the mineral
bearing islands and their resources.
This table follows:
Luzon-Coal. gold. copper, lead, iron
sulphur, marble, kaolin.
Cataanduanes. Sylvan, BOhoi ard
Panaoan-Goid only.
Marilnduque-Lead and silver.
Mindoro-Coal, gold and copper.
Carraray, Batan. Rapu Rapu, Sem
arara, NegrCs-COal only.
Masbete-Coal and copper.
RGmblOn-Marble.
Samar-Coal and gold.
panay-Coal, oil, gas, gold, copper,
iron and Perhaps mercury.
Biliram-nulphur only.
~Leyte-Coai. oil and perhaps mer-
curry.
Cebu-Coal,s oil, gas, lead. silver and
iron.
Mindanao-Coal, gold, copper and
platinum.
sulu Archipelago-Pearls.
OF the coal Mr.. Becker says that it
is analogous to the japanese coal and
that of Washington but not Of the
Welsh or Pennsylvania coal. 1t might
better be characterized as Il highly
carbonized Ignite likely to contain
as much sulphur as iron pyrites,
liable to spontaneous combustion and
injurious to boiler plates. Neverthe-
less, he says, when pyritous seams
are avoided and the Ignite is proper
ly handled, it forms a valuable fuel,
especially for local consumption.

Wrong Man at a Wedding.

Talking about singular condolences,
there are a clergyman and a physician
living in Philadelphia who bear iden-
teal names, but never heard Of each
other until last week. At that time
the physician received a hurry call for
his services and lost no time starting
for the given number. 1t was quite a
little distance away from where his
office is located. and on arriving he
was considerably surprised to find the
house indicated lighted up I'M appar-
emily filled with guests.
On entering the hallway he was met
by a middle-aged woman, who seemed
to be greatly astonished as his appear
ance. She explained that her daugh-
ter was to be married that evening,
and, as the clergyman had failed to
show up. she dispatched a messenger
boy to find him. and not knowing the
address. had directed the boy to look
it I'D in the directory; hence the mis-
take.
The physician, after receiving pro-
fuse apologies for the error, was about
to depart, when a gentleman was as
sisted up the steps and into the hail
way. He proved to be the belated
divine, and explained his lack of pune
tuality by stating that a bad fall
which he had received while en- route
had resulted in a sprained ankle.
The physician Immediately rendered
his services. but the minister insisted
on performing the ceremony first, and
did sc.
While dressing the wounded limb
the doctor made himself known to the
D. D. and related the curious circum-
stance which had brought them to-
gether. The story was afterward told
to the guests, and the two doctors
were a greater attraction while they
stayed than the bride and bridegroom.

Possibilities of the Arctic Circle.

The close of the century discloses
for the first time in the worlds his
tory a practical purpose to develop
the resources of the Arctic Circle. The
discovery of gold in the klondike has
sent a food of immigrants into a ter
ritorv which was supposed to be al
most uninhabitable. And now scien-
lists of Great Britain are making a
careful investigation of enormous de-
posits of iron ore, some distance from
Stockholm, Sweden. within the area
included in the Arctic Circle. These
new ore fields are apparently of limit
less extent and of the greatest posi-
Bile value to the iron industry Of Great
Britain, which is rapidly finding itself
unable to compete with the cheap pro-
ducts of American ore. These Swed-
ish deposits are said to be among the
most valuable ever discovered on eth
er continent.
Following the discovery Of gold in
Alaska, this may be taken as an indi-
cation that the mineral wealth of the
Arctic regions may ultimately lead to
the establishment of a large popula-
ton in those parts of the world near
est the North Pole, which have hither-
to been little explored. because Of
their inhospitab1e climate. An ingen-
ious philosopher has outlined the the
ory that the precious metals of the
world will be found in greatest abun-
daIice in the Arctic regions, because.
when the world was a molten mass, re-
volvins on it's axis, the tendency of
all metals was, naturally, toward the
axis or the poles, and that when the
plastic mass solidified, the gold and
silver were concentrated les the
Poles.

A Phenomenon Rarely Observed.

Volcanic flames are so rare that.
while they have been described by
creditable observers, their existence
had been doubted. They had not been
noticed on Vesuyius for eighty-four
years, until last April, when the phe-
nomenon was SO conspicuous as to be
convincing, and to lead to speculation
as to it's cause. Professor E. Sem
mola suposes that the orifice may have
beeg closed by a fall of the
crater wall, the pent-up gases becom-
ing heated until a chimney was form
ed through which they escaped in
flames. Professor V. Matteucci noted
that the small flames were of longer
duration than the larger ones, and
that the latter did not last without in
PERMISSION for more than nineteen or
less than fifteen days, and ultimately
became small and quieseent, like the
,thers. He concludes that the greater
part of the gases evolved from volca-
qoes have the power of producing
