Will FRENCH REPUBLIC EALE|

Will France, the only great repub-
lie of Europe, give way to the pres
sure and allow the imperia1fsts to put
Victor Napoleon in the Emperor's
chair? There are many indications of
coming revolution. For thirty years
the rich of France have been growing
richer under a republic, but naturally
they want a monarchy, as it would be
more favorable to wealth. The masses
or the people who have been growing
poorer will not give armed aid to the
republic, which without reason thew
connect with their poverty. On the
other hand, the roya1ists have all the
aid they need and may begin hostili-
ties at any time.
Nothing seemed at one time more
improbable than the accession of Ma
poIeon III to the throne of France
He was regarded as a charIatan of the
first water He spent the earlier years
or his life in England, where no one
took him seriously; and yet for twenty
years he managed either as President
or Emperor to sway the destinies OF
France The unexpected has ever hap
pened in that home of political sur
prises- There are. therefore, many
reasons which make it possible if not
probable, that Victor Napoleon may
one day reign as Emperor of the
French.

"A Mesy Method Of CANINE.

The danger of poisoning from timed
meat, fish and preserves danger
which makes many people beware OF
using timed foods-has been obviated,
it is claimed, by a simple invention just
patented by man. at East Aberdeen
shire The poison in these timed
foods is caused by the imperfect clos
ing of the tins, which have hitherto
usually been sealed with solder The
solder frequently fails to exclude air.
and thus the food decays and sets up
ptomaine poisoning. Poisoning from
ptomaine is sometimes attributed to
the use of lead. Lead has nothing to
do with it, ptomaine being purely an
animal or vegetable poison The pat
entee has been experimenting for a
long time past with a view to eIimi-
nate the use of solder and to fad out
a more perfect way of closing the tins
used for all kinds of meat fish and
fruits He has succeeded to the salts

a method by which, with the aid of a

the great number of deaths annually

examination for scientific positions in
the departments.
Special mention is made of the fact
that not a single candidate appeared
on the 9Th inst. for examination for
positions of laboratory assistants in
the national bureau of standards ere
ated by the last Congress. The two
positions worth 81 200 and 81 400
a year respectively to the incum bents-
These and other like positions are
said to be desirable in many ways,
and especially because the govern
ment laboratories are the best
equipped in the world.
There may be very good reasons
why young scientists do not scramb1
for these positions. They may not
like the sort of examinations to which
they know they will be subjected.
They may not care to be thrust into
a government rut and kept there with
no opportunity for pursuing original
lines of scientific investigation or for
developing their individuality.
1t is easy enough to imagine rea-
sons why young men of brains and
scientific enthusiasm do not care to
place themselves where they may
never have opportunity to do any
thing but perform tasks assigned by
others to get either credit or de-
be graciously permitted to do

whose loyalty to the Legitimist prIn-
cip1e has been shaken by the ire
sponsfbi1ity of the Due dOrleans In
some respects, however, he is at dis
advantage; he is by means so well
provided with worldly goods as his RI
val; for he depends entirely on an al
1owance made to hin by the Empress
Eugene This is his greatest weak
ness, for it is-said that she wishes to
end her days in France Were her
nephews to make an unsuccessful
coup d'etat,'' this would cease to be
within the limits of possibility, and
many of his supporters fear he would
then forfeit his allowance.
: He has, therefore, everything to lose
should he spell failure, and this must
tell against him in France, where dar-
ing is the one essential for success
On the other hand, many elements are
fighting in his favor, and his ultimate
triumph is quite within the region of
practical politics. The republic has lost
its glamour. Many of its champions
will argue that it has produced able
and distinguished men, but they will
admit that they are all more or less
tainted by their contact with Govern
ment. One scandal after another has
driven men from public life. Panama,
the decorations, bouIan gism, and "af-
faire'' have successfully destroyed
many a reputation
