A NoT1FIoATIoN TO GERMANY.

The powerful squadron of warships
which our government has in the Car
ibbean Sea does not mean that there
is ground for apprehending trouble
with Germany. 1t simply means that
it is thought to be the wiser plan to
put Germany on notice that she will
not be permitted to take possession of
any of the territory of Venezuela for
the purpose of occupying it permanent
ly. Germany has claims against Ven
ezuela which she is determined to col
lect, and for that purpose she has sew
eral war vessels off the coast of that
state. Thus far she has done moth
ing more than notify the Venezuelan
government that if the claims are not
set tied measures will be adopted for
collecting them by force.
1t is believed that she will occupy the
port of La Guayra, and collect the du-
ties on all imports arriving there until
her claims are satisfied. TO that our
government would offer no objection,
because it recognizes her right to col
lect in that way what is due her from
Venezuela. There is danger, howev-
er, that the Venezuelan government
would declare war against Germany
and resist her effor ts to collect duties
at La Guayra or any other Venezuelan
port.
In that event Germany might land
a large force in Venezuela and attempt
to take permanent possession of a part
of ba,. +arrfforv rI,ba Xanaz,1e1oy, p,.ee
ident has announced that he will not
pay Germanys claims, and that he
will declare war against her if she un-
dertakes to collect them. 1t is appar-
ent from this brief statement of the
situation that. while there is no inn
mediate danger of trouble between the
United States and Germany, there is a
possibility of it. For that reason it
is thought by our government to be
advisable to have a strong squadron
in d position where it will be u noti-
fication to Germany not to violate the
Monroe doctrine and from which it
could act promptly if the necessity
for doing so should arise.
Our squadron in the Caribbean sea
will be q powerful one---more powerful
that the one which destroyed the
Spanish squadron at Santiago. Rear
Admiral Higginson is in command of
it, and he has with him at present
the battleships Kearsarge, Alabama,
Indiana and Massachusetts. The Illi-
nols has been ordered to join the squad
ron, and within a week or two will be
d part of it. These ships are the strong
est in our navy.
There has been suspicion for a long
time that Germany is seeking a foot
hold in South America. Perhaps if
grows out of the fact that the number
of Germans settling In Brazil is stead
lily increasing. 1t is estimated that
the number there now is fully 100000.
Not very long ago there was a Iumor
that Germany was encouraging emil
grafton to that country with the view
of eventually taking possession of it.
1t is probable, however, that Ger
many has no intention of doing any
thing of the kind. She favors the
settlement of Germans in Brazil for the
reason doubtless that the more Ger
mans there are there the greater the
share of Brazilian trade will be which
she will get. There is a commercial
war going on between the manufactur-
ing nations and each of them is SEEK
ing for new markets.

Eighty-five per cent. of the demanded
divorces were granted as we'll as 75 pei
cent. of the demanded separations. The
proportion. of marriages dissolved tc
marriages contracted was 2S in l 1,00C
during the year, and during the past
ten years this proportion has nearly
doubled.
The Boston Transcript says: ''The
movement looking to the federation of
all the colleges of the maritime Prov
inces and the establishment of the
Great Central Maritime University, in
augurated in Halifax, N. s., on Thurs
day, is not a new scheme. In one
shape orxanother it has been engaging
the attention of representatives of sew
eral of the higher institutions of learn
ing in Nova Scotia for many years but
it has remained for Kings, the Oldest
of Canadian colleges, to give the move
ment definite shape. This step was. de-
cided upon at the semi-annual meet
ing of the board of governors of Kings
College, where the principal subject
under consideration was university
federation. After discussion a COM
mittee was appointed to open commun-
ication with the various colleges con-
cerned looking toward formation of one
central university. The institutions
included in the proposed federation
are Kings, Dalhousie, Acadia, Mount
Allison, st. Francois. Xavier, Univer-
sity of New Brunswick and Prince of
Wales College. Bishop Courtney is a
strong champion of the union. Kings
is the only Anglican college in East
ern Canada. The governments of
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island will be asked to
aid IN eCfa h1iahiper canfraI
that will be equal to the best in Can
ada"
1t has been known for a consider
able time, says the New York Sun,
that the cathode rays are, in a sense,
material, and that they are capable OF
being DETECTED by a magnet. The glow
which Is visible in the interior Of a
vacuum tube is caused by fragments
OF atoms impinging on the glass with
a velocity about half that of light
The X-rays are of the same general
nature. These fragments are so min.
ute that some even make their way
through the pores of the glass and
come out into the air surrounding il.
All hot bodies emit such rays in GER
tain amounts, and the new substance,
radium, and Others of its class emit
them even when cold. The rays appear
charged with electricity, and when
they impinge on air. not too dense to
obstruct them nor too rarified to permit
them 10 pass entirely without obstruc-
tion the bombarded air particles emit
a phosphorescent light, as can be
beautifully shown by experiment.
Since all hot bodies emit such rays.
the sun must necessarily send them
forth on a huge scale and as they
strike the outer layers OF the earth's
atmosphere they produce the glow that
we know as the Aurora. Why should
these phenomena appear at the earth's
poles as the Northern and Southern
Auroras and not all over the surface?
The rays In question are detected I'm

aid, was to order two regiments of in
fantry to his game preserve at Romin-
jen, where 1000 officers and men were
kept busy for three weeks fighting-
not the Russians, nor the French, not
even the Socialists, who are the fiercest
foes of German authority, but merely
a lot of little caterpillars which hap
pened to swarm upon His Maiestys
trees and shrubbery like the locusts in
Egypt. The fact was not published in
the newspapers. and the duty which
this detail was called upon TO perform
did not appear in the orders, but il did
not take long for the story to sift
through the army, and the officers and
men of those two regiments had to en-
dure great deal OF chatting from
their comrades during the next few
months. In fact, they will never be al.
lowed to forget the incident, for they
are known TO the service as the cater.

A Zine Truck Country.

Prof. w. s. Thomas, who resides on a model farm at Alexander, on the Iron Mountain, makes very inn portant and interesting report to the Little Rock board of trade, showing that three crops of potatoes per year is now undertaken by the farmers of his section of Arkansas: In his report Prof. Thomas says: "The second crop of Irish potatoes, plant ed in August from the seed of the first crop, which was planted in March and harvested in June, has become a very important industry. In this immediate vicinity about four thousand bushels have been har- vested, and the quality is superior to the first crop, and much better than northern, both for seed and eating. A number of our farmers have plant ed the third crop, which will be har- vested in March, and of this crop the mode of culture differs material ly from that of the first and second crops It is but short time since the exportation of potatoes was thought of. Now it is lucrative business. Think of it; three crops in a year. The future will show central Arkansas to be the finest truck farm in the world"

 Carl Atheno, the hypontist who was buried on vacant lot last Monday night, was disinterred to- night in the presence of several thousand spectators.

An alarm clock was set off close to his ear, and before the bell had stopped ringing Atheno be- gan to move. Finally he opened his eyes, and the six men lifted him to his feet. The crisp night air re- vived him rapidly, and he tried to talk to the crowd, but it was so noisy that he was compelled to give it up, and asked to be taken to the Balti- more hotel. A doctor took Atheno's pulse and found it registered at 50. When he was inferred last Monday his pulse was 78. At the hotel his temperature showed 10O His upper lip was split in the center from the dryness of the earth, and he had lost probably 20 pounds.
