soldiers engaged in the war with
Spain, and the recruiting of new
regiments for service in the Phil
ippines. He says the army is in
good condition.
OF the Philippine question the
president says that war was a ne
cessity; and that the rebellion
must be put down. He reaches
this conclusion after giving full
review of the Investigation of the
Philippine commission. He says:
THE suggestion has been made
that we could renounce our author
ity over the islands and giving them
independence could retain protec-
torate over them. This proposition
will not be found, | am sure, worthy
of your serious attention. Such an
arrangement would involve at the
outset a cruel breach of faith. 1t
would place the peaceable and loyal
majority, who ask nothing better
than to accept our au thority, at the
mercy of the minority of armed
insurgents. 1t would make us
responsible for the acts of the in
surgent leaders, and give us no
power to control them. 1t would
charge us with the task of protect
ing them from each other; defend
ing them against any foreign pow
er with which they chose to quar-
rel. In short, it would take from
the congress of the United States
the power of declaring war and
vest that tremendous prerogative
in the Tagal leader of the hour"

Various theories have been advanced
as to the origin of these sounds. Some
savants have attributed them 10 earth
uuakcs, but this fails to explain why
they are perceived only in the daytime.
On the other hand, the fact that their
time of maximum occurrence is from
noon to 3 p. H., decreasing aftcrward
until sunrise. appears to support the
opinion that they are due entirely to the
action of solar heat upon the water
yapor of the atmosphere.
1t is remarkable that when heard on
land they always appear to come from
far out at sea, and similarly on board
ship they never seem close at hand, and
they strike the ear from all sides at

Bright sunshine and some degree of

probably due to a disturbance of electric

The late Professor Hyrtl of Vienna
was present one day during the examina-
ton of an aspirant for the medical degree
by Professor LANCER. Finally the latter
handed the student small bone, saying:
Mr.. Candidate, here is a bone. Don't
look at it, but tell me from feeling it what
kind of bone it is, whether it belonged
to the left or right side of the body ana
whether it was part of man or wons".
The poor student blushcl from en '"s
rassment. There was a large aud. .--
present, and he saw failure staring hi',.
in the face. He cast a helpless glance at
Hyrtl, who moved about in his chair rest
lessly for moment and then sprang to
his feet. "And tell me, Mr.. Candidate"
he cried out, the spirit of anger lighting
up his large blue eyes, latter answering
the questions of my dear colleague, the
name of the original possessor of this
bone and where and in what street he
lived"
This unexpected outburst saved the day
for the poor candidate, but Professor
LANCER ever after declined to conduct an
examination when Hyrtl was present.
