1 themselves invented and introduced dur l ing the last thirty years, it is the. solu- | ton of great international conflicts by l war that has become really chimerical. l To begin and carry on war between 1 European powers for the sake of differ | ences of secondary importance, or for | considerations which, however well founded they might be in their origin, would still owe their chief strength to international vanity, is more chimerical. Owing to the internal consequences
 which would follow such a war; it would

 He does not appear to have a great
 opinion of naval forces in general, ex-
 cept for purposes of defence. He re- viewed the possibilities of naval war fare, among the examples he gave be- ing that of the German fleet destroying the Russian fleet in a Russo German war. If Russia beat Germany on land she would exact payment in Berlin for the damage done to her war material at sea. The room in which we were talking has an extensive view over the North Sea, and 1t occurred to me that if squadron of British ironclads sudden ly appeared on the horizon M. de Bloch might modify some of his opinions on the use of a navy.
 Speaking of the tendency of provin- cial governors in Russia and colonial authorities elsewhere to make difficulties in order to give themselves importance, he told me the following anecdote: A provincial governor has fomented dis turbances to bring himself under the notice of the Czar Alexander IT. The czar complained to Prince Gortchakoff that he could not go to war with a neighbor for an affair of such small importance, and Prince Gortchakoff gave him this advice. He told him to send the Russian provincial governors all the highest decorations at his dis posal, and to give them at the same time to understand that for every diff | culty which occurred within their juris- diction, three of their decorations would | be taken away. M. de Bloch believed l that the principle involved in Prince Gortchakoff's advice might be applied | with advantage for the general tram Hague Correspondence, | London Times.

Those interested in the promotion of the Austrian export trade have discov- cred a new field for its activity in what is described as Spanish West Africa, where it is proposed to erect factories and establish trading settlements. A committee has already been formed in Vienna with the object of raising funds for the exploration of the district of Rio Gro, facing the Canary Islands. According to the Fremdenblatt of that city. the Ministry of Commerce has in timated its readiness to support this scheme. FIourishing accounts are given of the capacities of the region, and it is said that the climate is healthy, par ticularly in the Sultanate of Adrar, and

At an experimental plant at Cologne the electric furnace has recently been employed in making glass, and the pro- cess is said to work most satisfactorily The apparatus is much simpler than the ordinary form of furnace and the glass obtained is free from impurities. The chief saving effected is in the retention of the heat, which in the usual type of furnace is transmitted to the ground. The heat is supplied by the electric arc, and the charge can be raised to the melting temperature in fifteen minutes, instead of thirty hours, as is the case with the ordinary furnace. A large fur mace also is not required, and the work can be stopped at any time, such as on holidays and Sundays, without any loss of energy. A saving in coal consump- ton of as much as three-ffths is claim ed for the process, and for experimental work it allows small quantities of the material to be fused

Tn an address to the matriculatins students of the University of Bonn, Dr. Roster expressed surprise that German students, who are so proud and jealous of their academic liberty, should sub init to the senseless club laws which require them to drink certain num- Der of pots of beer on stated days every week. It is custom in the students clubs to "slate'' every freshman who fails to absorb the prescribed quantity of liquor, and many youth is carried out from under the table amid the de- rision of his comrades, while the man who swallows the largest number of pots of beer is solemnly declared the hero of the corps. These 'beer" ses- sions," he says, have ruined the minds and bodies of many promising young men, and it is strange that they should not long ago have disappeared.

A recent report to parliament shows that England has spent of her own mon ey on the Soudan since 1883 as much as $39, ,450, 5C0. Most of it was wasted in the futile effort to relieve Gordon. In 1896-97 the expenditure was but $4,0oo,- 900, but in 1SS5-S6 the outgo was $2l, 470,- 900, and in 1SS4-S5 it was over half that much. Egypt's expenses for the recon quest of the Soudan are not included in the above figures.

Temperance is temperance in Massa- chusetts. Last year a law was passed compelling express companies carrying cases of beer or liquors to prohibition towns to plaster them with labels large enough to be clearly visible to the naked eye; and it further forbade the soliciting of liquor business. The editor of Lowell newspaper has been fined a hundred dollars under this law because his journal published liquor advertise ment, Lowell being this year a dry" city. An attempt made to exclude news papers from the scope of the provision about soliciting has failed in the Gen eral court. It is pointed out that here after the Boston papers will be liable to prosecution if they circulate in Low ell, since they all contain liquor adver- stisements.
