The world has had so much to startle
and agitate 1t lately that the news of
the assassination Of Italy's king will
perhaps not be quite as disturbing as it
would have been had it happened in
gentler times. And yet it will be very
disturbing. AS kings go, Hunlbert was
a good one, popular with his own sub
1ects and respected by the rest of the
world. He did as well as he could for
his kingdom, and there was no reason
why he should be made to suffer death
for being a king. But king-killers are
not apt to be just, even when they are
sane. The terrible news will make
crowned heads even uneasier than they
have been lately, and will make many
uncrowned heads uneasy.

It is a curious condition of things
which prevails in the Republican party
Everybody is sure that Bryan can't be
elected and everybody is expecting that
an effort will be made to manufacture
scare" that will be impressive
enough to bring out much money and
many votes Perhaps as the campaign
gets lively this state of affairs win
change and the scare may be much
more real than it is expected to be.
The Democratic leaders are talking big,
even If they don't feel big, and Bryan
himself has apparently lost none of the
confidence that has made him famous
OF course the sensible thing for every
body interested in the defeat of Bryan
Is not to have confidence in anything
but active and well directed work until
the polls close. There's many slip,
and many of the slips. come from over
confidence The time to count chickens
is when they have been Matched, and
the time to count Bryan out Is when he
has been knocked out by the voters.

Shortly before the steamer on which
was about to cross was timed to leave
the station on the opposite river bank
the pointer became restless and excited,
and would go out into the garden to
watch the steamer come across to our
landing stage. My wife used to say to
the children; Papa Is on the steamer.
The dog never made a mistake, al
though 1 might have come by any of
the steamers leaving during the day.
There was no hazard or guesswork In
the dogs proceedings. Simply he knew
the moment his master set foot on the
steamer, and showed that he knew It.

There have been and may be great
changes in Sugar In the stock market,
and there may be great changes in the
sugar industry. It appears that at the
recent Magdeburg convention of sugar
makers there was a discussion of the
prospect of sugar being displaced by
saccharine made from coal tar. This
substance, first made in the laboratory
of the Johns Hopkins University, is
now manufactured in largely increased
quantities. The saccharine produced
and sold last year was equal to $4,000
tons of sugar In sweetness, thus pre-
venting the consumption Of that much
German beet sugar. A tax on saccha-
rine is accordingly demanded and a re-
striction upon its sale. There is, how
ever, it is thought, no immediate dan
ger that saocharine will destroy the
beet-growing industry. Beet sugar may
hereafter be produced by chemists SYM
thetlcally, but their material Is likely to
be starch flour, and potatoes or similar
farm products would have to be grown
to produce the starch.
Whatever happens to the sugar indus
try it is to be hoped that nothing will
happen TO make tho Sugar stock less
than it has b-en. Wall
street couldn't well spare Sugar as long
as people have money to spare In bet
ting on its gyrations.

WHY TIKE my RISK

Some people are thinking of voting
for Bryan because they think that he
can't do anything for silver, even if he
is elected. Abram S. Hewitt is not one
of those people. He believes the finan-
cial question to be the overshadowing
Issue of the campaign. He says that a
President hostile to a sound system of
finance could, II so disposed, even with
the laws as they are at present, bring
about financial CONFUSION and work al
most irreparabIe calamity to the bust
ness interests Of the country Congress
has declared that all forms of money Is
sued or coined by the United States
shall be maintained at parity Of value
with the standard and that it shall be
the duty of the Secretary of the Treas
ury to maintain such parity. There is,
however, nothing in the law which re-
qulres the president to redeem the sill
yer dollars and certificates in gold He
could direct the payment In silver of
the principal and interest Of the bonded
debt, with the exception of the funded
two per cents. In other words, the dec
laration of Congress to the contrary
Notwithstanding, he could to that extent
place the country on a silver basis
AS Bryan is true as ever to 16 to /,
what's the use of voting for him on the
theory that he couldn't do any harm If
he would and that he wouldn't if he
could?

ana formation of the Red Sea, takes
the ground that this sea was originally
a lake, into which the Nile, when far
more important river than at present,
emptied, the outlet being In the form of
an immense waterfall. At later peri
cd it formed new outlets to the Medi-
terranean Sea, but still continued to
send a portion of its waters into the
Red Sea, Traces of this original condi-
ton are found in the actual faunas of
the two seas. The opening of the Straits
Of Babel Mandeb was caused after a
period of volcanic activity, the erup-
lions being succeeded by subsistence and
by erosion of the barrier which separ-
ated the Red Sea from the Indian
