ministry. Chamberlain has been
equally fortunate In the knowledge OF
how 10 take advantage OF the oppor-
tunlty OF the moments In the medocrity
Of the men who We're with him and Of
those who were against him, and above
all In his ability to subjugate the for
mer and intimidate the later.
But his greatest luck may be found
In the fact that the question Of Irish
autonomy became the burning issue Of
English politics at the very time when
he conceived the idea OF joining the
conservative party. Without the agita-
ton for home rule Il would have been
more difficult for him TO perform the
saul perilleux" with the certainty of
securing among the tories a prestige
and q pos,usn even more exalted than
the one accorded him by the radicals
The conservative party, and partlcu-
larry iis organizing center. the Prim-
rose league, welcomed the ex-radical
minister with an almost hysterlcal Joy;
aristocratic society bowed 10 and wor-
SHIPPED the new idol. Perhaps the cause
Of imperialism gained something there
by. that of home rule certainly lost all.
But the most striking fact and one
which very few seemed TO notice, Is the
fact that the British aristOcracy was
being hitched like a hackney 10 the
triumphal chariot Of the Birmingham
merchant. Chamberlain has dragged
England into this war with the Trans
vaaL lie may wei call II his war. Just
as Empress Eugene called the war OF

Chamberlain remained mayor Of Birm-

impossible that the English premier
could stoop so low as TO acquiesce
In the propagation OF the idle story
that the present war was begun solely

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN.
A CHARACTER STUDY.


remember the first time ! saw Mr..
Chamberlain. He had just deserted the
Liberals, and had become the idol OF
the Conservative party, says oulda in
the New York Journal. lie was stand
ing In the drawing room Of a Belgraye
square mansion surrounded by the most
beautiful women OF English aristocracy,
proud OF the homage that was paid
him by the same class which had
hitherto hated and despised him.
His physioguomy gives an exact indi-
cation OF his character. 1t Is not a
refined face, yet full Of energy, Of in
telligence, Of stubbornness. 1t Is that
of shrewd, knowing person, but not an
intellectual one. In a word, II Is the
physiognomy Of business man, and
not that of statesman.
II has been said. and very likely with
a considerable amount OF truth. that
Mr. Chamberlain deserted the liberal
party on account Of his Jealousy toward
Mr.. Gladstone, and also because OF the
presence in the liberal party OF such
men as Lord Rosebery, Vernon Har-
court and, among the home rulers,
Charles Stewart Parnell, all Of whom
were his superiors In intelligence and
craftsmanship.
II this was the real reason for his
desertlng the liberal party, Mr. cham
berlaln must feel himself fully satisfied,
inasmuch OF In the cabinet Of Lord
Salisbury nobody dares 20 contradict
the colonial secretary. who. In fact, II
not dejure, Is the actual head OF the
British government.

been secretaries OF state for the colo

Carnaryon and the first Lord Lytton,
yet none OF them ever attempted 20

Heat from the burning OF powdered

The visibility OF the entire lunar disc
near the time of new moon has had
curious explanations, some OF which
have been collected by a French as
toner. Posdonius held that the
moon was more or less transparent, and
that the duh glow resulted from the
suns rays shining through. llumina-
ton by Venus was Tycho Brahes sug-
gestlon. The real cause, reflection by
the neon Of sunlight reflected from the
earth, was discovered by Leonard de
Vincl.
An attempt to improve the goat as

very satisfactory stock by crossing the

fercnt TO cold and hornless. Goats milk |

One direction in which progress may
be expected In the twentieth century IS |
that Of feeding plants with atmos-
pheric nitrogen through the action Of |
root bacteria. In a late society paper

nearly twice the weight OF that from

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Reviewing the results OF French ex-
pericnce with automobiles, NJ. G.. For
estier concludes that the steam engine
best meets the requirements where
there are sudden demands for power,
as on steep grades and In starts on up
ward inclines, while an internal COM
bustlon motor Is satisfactory on fairly
level roads, and has much less weight.
Motors Of both classes have shown in
creased economy since the early tests
Of 1897 with the prospect Of further
Improvement. Details Of the trials Of
light vehicles cannot be easily sum
married., but the cost Of running a cab
may be placed at 1926 francs per day
by horse, 1927 francs by gasoline, and
iS,B francs by electricity. while the
corresponding figures for a delivery
