LIFE UNDER WATER

In February and in March more gen.
uine winter days come 10 us than at any
other time when we have reasonable
and seasonable right 10 expect them. Our
young people, then, may count upon the
winter -rurups of snuwbaffing, eorstfng
and skating that they are more sure OF
now than they were i'm the earlier days
of 1900. The frozen surface of the ponds
looks dead cn ugh. 1t would scarcely
seem that living water Is beneath. and IL
is even harder to imagine that animal
life is actually comfortably tucked away
under that Icy cover, says Our Animal
Friends.
Where do you suppose the frogs have
gone for the winter? They have soft.
smooth skinned bodies that would freeze
to death II exposed to the open-air tenn
perature of this month. On the bottom
of the pond they have made bed for
themselves I'm the ooze and mud. huddled

cold water, which is contracted, Is heavier
and sinks to the bottom.
But as water freezes IL begins again 20

IAE NITRATE PROVINCES.

The possibility OF a serious breach be-
between Chile and Peru. as indicated In
cable dispatches. has disconnected the
officials here. who had every reason to
hope. in some measure through our own
efforts, that a permanent and satIsfac-
tory, settlement had been reached of
the dispute between the two countries
over the ownership OF the provinces OF
Tacna and africa. says the Washington
Star.
"A perplexing statement In the dis
patches is TO the effect that this latest
threat of trouble is owing TO the writ
ing OF note on this subject by the new
Peruvian minister TO the United States.
The officials here have had no notifica-
ton from the Peruvian gOvernment or
from any authorized source OF the APP
pontment of a minister TO the United
states. The post has been vacant for
more than year, and there is not even
charge. or an attache, or any sem
blance of Peruvian legation In Wash
ington. A rumor reached here some
time ago 10 the effect that Mr.. Alex
ander Garland had been appointed by
the Peruvian government as its minis
ter 10 Washington. but no official con-
ceived.
The present dispute between Chile
and Peru is a legacy of the last war
between those two countries about fif-
teen years ago. One OF the terms of
peace was that the victor Chile, should
occupy the two valuable nitrate prov-n-
ces OF Tacna and africa, adjoining the
Chilean boundary on the north, for a
period OF ten years. At the end OF that
period of time the people OF the prov
inces were 10 determine by their vote
whether their lands should remain I'm
the possession OF Chile or revert TO
Peruvian sovereignty. In the first case.
Chile was to pay Peru $l0,000,000 silver
soles, while II the province was re-
turned 70 Peru, the government of that
country was TO pay TO Chile cores
ponding sum OF money.
The allegation is now that the treaty
provision on this point was not exc
cuted; that there was no plebiscite, ana
that no money passed.
Because the United States was deeply
interested i'm bringing about the peace
which terminated the bitter war be-
tween Chile and Peru.it is probably as
sumed by the Peruvians that our gov
ernment likewise retains an interest i'm
the faithful execution of the terms OF
the treaty. IL must, however. be ad-
mitted that up To this time our govern
ment has not manifested any particular
interest I'm the subject. and has not
even received any application, secret
or otherwise, from either OF the parties
to intervene ar this last phase. though
the recent reports seem TO Indicate
purpose. on the part OF the Peruvians
at least, to enlist our sympathies In
their behalf
