have served notice on Yale and Yale in
turn has employed legal counsel de-
tsrmined TO leave no stone unturned
In her efforts TO retain possession OF
the collection which rightfully belongs
10 her. Prof. Marsh WAS one of the
most celebrated instructors OF the
many who have figured in the history
of Yale university. He was born In
Lockpor;. n. Y. Oct 2s. 1881: and was
the nephew OF the late George Pea
body. the banker and philanthropist.
from whom be received most OF the
wealth which permitted him TO COM
ple;e his education and found the Pea
body museum The original gift for
this purpose amounted TO $4,000.
This has developed into what 1t was
intended 8, should be. viz. school OF
original research, as well as one OF in
struction. Prof. Marsh was fitted for
college at Phillips academy at An
dover, Mass. where he prepared to en-
ter Yale. and graduated with the class
OF 1860. He renewed his studies at the
schefneld Scientific school. where he
sought TO prepare himself for the high
err studies In natural history. He paid
particular attention to mineralogy and
geology. which he intended to make his
life work. While on an exploring trip
in Nova Scotia he discovered an i'm
portant fossil reptile. His reconstruc-
ton and description OF II gave him
positive rank among scientists. This
discovery determined Prof. Marsh to
make psleontology his speciality, so
he renewed his studies In the univer-
stiles at Berlin. Heidelberg and Bres-
lau. He spent much time during the
vacation periods exploring the Alps
and making researches in different
parts of Germany. In 1866 he returned
/ TO the United States, where at Yale
I university the chair OF paleontology,
/ the first OF its kind, was established.
From this time on Prof. Marsh de-
voted a great deal of time TO work OF
/ exploration In the far western part OF
/ the country. especially the Rocky
mountain region. The first trip to the
| Rockies was made In 1868. and result
ed in many important discoveries in
| his line OF work. This trip was fol-
lowed by others at frequent intervals,
and parts of the Rocky mountains and
foothills were traversed which had
never before been visited by white
men. So far into the forests and noun
tains did these little parties penetrate
that on most occasions strong escort
from the regular army was necessary
10 protect them from the Indians. The
remarkable collection produced as re-
suit of these researches, not alone In
the west, but in all parts OF the coun-
try. are stored in New Haven. These
works have been examined in part by
Prof. Huxley and Darwin. the latter
believing that some gave the strongest
kind of evidence In support OF his the
cries on evolution. Prof. Marsh took
many honors, both In this country and
abroad. and at the time of his death
last spring held important offices In
most OF the leading scientific associa-
tons in the United States and cont
mental Europe.

TO FIND JONES' GRAVE.

1t is cheering to read that there is
mo state Of war; in China The Chi
nese Minister continues his confident
declaration that there is no state of
war existing. The State department
holds to the same view, basng it's po-
sition on the absence Of any authentic
information showing that the Chinese
government has directed or been party
to any of the overt acts so far commit
ted against the foreign interests in
China Therefore it has not only been
careful to refrain from any act that
might prevent peaceful and honorable
settlement with the Chinese govern
ment of the issues raised by the Boxer
trouble, If it shall appear conclusively
that the government was blameless in
the matter, but it has also used it's
moral force with other Powers to the
same end.
Good as far as it goes But while
there may be no state of war in China
there is very unpleasant and alarm
ing state of things there.

DIGNITY Us. OR.IIORI.

Is it possible that the voice Of Brother
Bryan is not to be heard all over the
land this fall? There is talk that the
Democratic campaign managers have
been considering the question and have
about concluded that it is more in ac-
cordance with the dignity of a presiden-
tial candidate to receive the people on
his own front porch than to go around
talking to them So 1t has been decided
that Mr. Bryan will spend most of his
time this summer in Lincoln and hold
front lawn receptions. He may make
some speeches, but he will not tour the
country, as in 1896. Mr.. Bryan, so it is
whispered, is not wholly sa tisffed with
the idea of being hushed, but the Demo-
cratic managers feel that he impressed
his personality thoroughly in 1896, and
that this year they can rely on his repu-
tation and the strength of their attacks
on the Administration.
Decidedly interesting if true. But if
Brother Bryan isn't going up and down
this fall wagging his silver tongue the
Democratic show will be pretty tame
affair and its drawing power will be
greatly impaired. 1t is not usually con-
sidered good management to give per-
formance with the chief actor out.

Kandahar-an insignificant distance Of
5S5 English miles.
That link being made, and the Gem
trail Asian railway finished, London to
Bombay will mean that the only chance
for seasicllness will be on the twenty
one mile strip of channel between Dover
and Calais.
Although the distances are nearly
similar, the comparison between the
sea and the land journeys is in favor of
the latter. BY the Straits of Gibraltar
and the Suez canal the distance is $500
miles and the time occupied by the fast
est Peninsular and Oriental steamer Is
tWenty-one days.
BY the land route, allowing the aver
age approximate speed to be twenty
five miles an hour by the express trains.
the journey would occupy only eleven
days and four hours over distance
approximately estimated at G,700 Eng
lish miles. But twenty-five miles an
hour is a low estimate. This speed is
on the average considerably exceeded
even on Asiatic railways, and, Of course,
doubled on European lines.
Two changes Of cars would be neces-
sary on the journey from Calals-at the
frontier on entering Russia and at the
Indian frontier. This would be occa-
stoned by the fact that the Russian
lines have e. gauge nearly foot wider
than the rest of European railways.

advantages. The huge steamship COM

dent Mckinley has long been certain.
Nobody has thought of trying to pre-
vent it, or if anybody has he has not
dared to make his thought known.
President McKinley's course while Pres
ident has been such as to strengthen
the Republican party and to make the
party more than willing to have him
lead it to victory this year, as he did
four years ago. He is better known and
better appreciated by his party than he
was then, and it has the fullest conf
dence in him. Perhaps no President has
done his work with less friction and
more efficiency. His party and the
country will feel safe with him in the
future as they have in the past.
Mr.. Roosevelt, the nominee for Vice
President, has good reason to think him
self Man Of Destiny. He didn't want
to be nominated for Vice President. but
when an Office seeks the man in the way
the Vice Presidency has sought him the
man might as well give up gracefully,
as Roosevelt finally did There can be
no doubt Of the wisdom of the nomina-
ton. A weak man could have been
carried by the party this year, but a
strong man was demanded. If Roose-
welt is disappointed he has no real rea-
son to be. Few men in this country
have been complimented as he has been,
and his astonishing career may not be
ended by his election as Vice President

The Gillian government has plan
In preparation for the creation of a ma
tiona merchant marine. According to
this project, it is proposed to have a
fleet of six steamers, each with car
rying capacity of 5000 tons and a speed
of eleven knots an hour. 1t is intended
to have a monthly service between VAL
paraiso and Liverpool, prolonging the
voyages in case of necessity to Iquique
on arrival, and to the ports of Europe
on the voyage there. The object Of this
service is to establish line of steam
ers under the control of the govern
ment of Chill, offering a cheap means
of transporting the mineral and agri-
cultural products of the country. The
steamers will fly the CHILEAN flag. With
the object of inducing, capitalists to
take shares in the company the govern
ment of Chill agrees to grant subsidy
of $250,060, payable every six months,
this arrangement to last for ten years
The capital will be SO, $50 900, divided

The year 1899 was a bad one for
italian olives and olive oil. The olive
maggot, which thrives on the pulp of
the fruit, was responsible last year for
a destruction of olives to the value of
something like $25,OO0,0O0, which repre-
eents half the annual yield of the coun-
try. The italian Government does not
seem to be attacking the pest in any
effective fashion, and the matter has
been commended to the attention of
men Of science.
