me LIt,Is Island in the r.sIns which
Disappeared Comes Again
Into View.

Falcon island, which early last yea
was reported to have completely dis
appeared beneath the waves OF the
Pacific, is again showing its fAl sur
face above the water. The life his
tory OF this speck of land has beer
unusual and interesting. A cable dis.
patch from Europe printed in April
last year said that after a brief life
of IA years Falcon island had ceased
to exist. 1t was thought that no
trace Of It would ever be seen again.
But Mr.. Vossion, the consul general
Of France in the Tonga group, an
nounces that Commandant Ravenhill.
Of the cruiser Porpoise, has returned
TO those islands from a cruise in the
Pacific with the news of the re-
emergence of Falcon island. He says
that the highest part of the island is
now about 16 feet above sea level
The island was formed by great
volcanic eruption at the bottom of the
sea in 1885. 1t took the waves and
storms of the ocean IA years entirely
to obliterate it. Mr.. J. ]. Lister, who
visited the island a short time before
it disappeared, said that it was rap
idly being torn to pieces by the action
of the waves. Unless a fresh volcanic
outburst occurred he thought it
would soon disappear His predic-
ton came true, and a steamer that
visited the place about the beginning
of last year reported that not a trace
of it was to be found above the water
level
The island was built up in the
neighborhood of the Tonga group
about 35 miles from the Island of
Tofoes. A submarine volcano had
reared from the bottom of the ocean
a mighty mass of eiecta, and on this
foundation rested the outpourings
which rose above the water. The
island consisted Of two distinct parts.
One of them was hill of gentle slope
and wider base, whose height was
1887 feet. On one side the hill ended
abruptly in a cliff, whose base was
washed by the sea at high water The
other part of the island was a fiat. ex-
tending away from the base Of the
hill in northerly direction and only
ten to twelve feet above the high tide
level The whole bit of land was Just
a bare brown heap Of ashes around
which the great yollers broke and
swept up the black shores in sheets
of foam. The island was entirely des-
titute of any vegetation save for a
half dozen seeding plants that had
found lodgment there.
1t will not be strange if the island
is torn to pieces and again disappears
from view within a very few years.
It's temperance now is doubtless due
to another volcanic eruption. Vol
canic islands seldom endure many
years unless they are so large or so
well protected against the sea that
there is time for them to become Gov
cred with dense masses of vegetation
before ocean storms have an oppor-
tunity to tear them to pieces.

TO PAINT CORONATION SCENE.

London Cable to the New York Tribune.
 The King has commissioned Edwin A. Abbey to paint the coronation scene in Westminster Abbey. Sir Francis Knollys has Informed the artist. at Morgan Hall, Worcestershire, of the Kings wishes, and also the dimensions of the canvas, which will be. fifteen feet long.
 The selection of this artist will cause great satisfaction in the Royal Academy, where Mir. Abbey Is not only without a rival as a painter of historical scenes, but is also deservedly popular. It is also an exceptional tribute to American art from the British crown, which will grati- fy all Americans. The corresponding pie ture of Queen Victoria's coronation was painted by Leslie, and represented the last stage of the ceremony, when she was kneeling for the sacrament after receiv- ing the crown, orb and sceptre. Hayter also painted the Queen in her coronation robes.
 MT. Abbey has sent the best of his Grail panels, "The Maidens and the Red ! Knights to Paris, where 1t will be ex- hibited at the salon. There was not space for the other Grail pictures in this year S salon. but the entire series will be shown in Paris and London before they go to America for the Boston Public Library.

MONSTER SNAKE.

From the Chicago Record.
 Not long ago hunter on the San Fran cisco river, that mighty stream running across the State of Bahia and draining Goyas, shot a monster boa constructor which measured-actual measurement 1oo feet long. Colonel Bryan, the Ameri- can minister in Rio, has a decoration in his residence, the skin of one of these reptiles from the same river, which measures seventy-nine feet from tip to tip. as can be sworn to by scores of American naval officers and American visitors. He also has a section of the skin of a snake which as it lived was a trifie over eighty-five feet long.
 But imagine the king of all. probably the largest of it's kind ever seen, which could stand on its head and brush its tail third of the way up the Washington Monument It could hang by it's tail from the Brooklyn bridge and touch the deck of passing steamer.

This monster was caught in it's sluggish moments after the huge meal. and dispatched by a bullet from rife.

Thus Major Anderson and Mrs. Anderson had most extraordinary escape.
AmerIca,a EnoIlsh Hero.

Tt was in July, before his death on March 27, 1889, that I last saw John Bright and 1 hold that event amongst my cherished memories said A man who has travelled. little.
 Tt used to be said that John Bright would be certain to receive a more splendid welcome in America than any other foreigner who could visit the Re- public, and there used to be something in American newspapers to that effect but always thought that such talk came from radicals in England and South haters in America. John Bright more than any other influence kept the Brit ish government from showing open and practical sympathy with the Confedera- cy. Thus he was very unlike Gladstone, who at the outset of the war between the states displayed active and ardent sym pathy with the South, and being himself the son of a slave-owner and having se- cured through slavery the private fortune which enabled him to play politics he remained true to his Southern sympa- thies an unprecedented length of time for him to be true to anything. for sever al months In fact, and until he believed the drift of British public opinion was to- ward the North, bunder which up to that time was the worst in lifetime of great blunders. Gladstone opposed the South in the end to suit his own political purposes; John Bright opposed the South all the time became in his fondly pious and gently ChIrstian life he hated the South and it's Institutions violently.
 That day nearly thirteen years ago when saw John Bright for the last time and after he had done so much to defeat his former friend and radical colleague Gladstone the old Quaker anti-every- thing, who fondly imagined that Angli- can churchmen wore horns and hoofs and Catholics rings stamped to Rule or Ruin was sitting in the coffee-room of the great Northwestern Hotel.

Envy in Savannah.

The Savannah News thus displays its envy of scheme that looks to the building up of a rival seaport:
 There has been some speculation as to the influence behind the projected Bruns- wick and Birmingham Railroad. It seems from a New York special dispatch in the Birmingham Age-Herald that the in nuence is the Brunswick Terminal Com pany. That company's shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and on Thursday were quoted at IA. A few days ago they were quoted considerably below that price. The shares have been . sort of football on the stock exchange for a long time.
 The Age-Herald's special says that the Brunswick and Birmingham has now one hundred miles, of the three hundred and seventy-five miles which separate Bruns- wick from Birmingham, graded. and will soon have forty-five miles in operation. This Is news in this section. Evidently somebody in New York Is engaged m booming the stock of the Brunswick Ter minal Company. As far as we are in- formed the route of the Brunswick and Birmingham has not yet been surveyed. has not, in fact. been definitely decided upon. If we are not mistaken our last reports showed that few miles of road from Brunswick had been graded. and that enough rails had been received for four or five miles of track
 The distance from Brunswick to the seaboard Airline Is seventeen miles The supposition Is that 1t will be some time before a junction with that road is made-a considerable time unless a larger force is put on the work
 The impression seems to be conveyed in the New York dispatch that as soon as forty-five miles are completed it will be possible for the road to do a paying business. The author of the dispatch

 Who shot at Pobiedonostzeff? What is driving the Czar from his capital?
 The Russian state church is the most powerful political organization in the world. It rules the peasantry. It con trols the overwhelming majority of the middle and upper classes. It dominates tho government. rigidly supervising the distribution of all the high offices. It possesses the army and the police. It's autocratic head Is Pobicdonostzeff, l Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod, non- inally next to the Car in power, actually far more powerful than the Czar. This man, able, adroit. interruptions, Is a narrow reactionary, perfect, Dark Ages" type He hates all forms of pro 1 gress. He suspects all newspapers, mag azines, books, all m@- -->-1th tendency to broad ideas. IT. IS bitterly opposed to all schemes for secular education, and his pet aversion is the universities, which he regards as hot-beds of irreligion and po- litical conoclasm.
 He ruled the late Czar with a rod of iron, working on his dull mind partly through 1t superstitions, partly through discovering plots against his life. Some of these plots may have been genuine; many were undoubtedly pure inventions of his police; ncne was without some po- lice part ir it. But the present Czar fell under liberal influences early in life. He came to the throne with liberal ideas. He has tried to carry them into effect SO far as he dared in view of the crude state of civilization among his people.
 With this powerful ally the liberal party has grown, Naturally 1t hates the Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod, and naturally he hates it. And he has been hampered by the facts that the Czar is suspicious of him and is not in the least expectations. So he has had to rely who'll | ly upon arousing his physical fears. There Is hardly room for doubt that l the cold and crafty Pobiedonostzeff Is be- hind these present outbreaks and alleged plots He has been goading the liberals of late and has doubtless driven the l young hotheads to excesses, capable of plausible cxaegeration. That he himself was shot at-and not shot--does not weak l en the suspicion that he is directing this | movement. And how well calculated it Is to compel the Czar to feel that liberal ideas arc premature in the Russia of to- day and that liberals are untrustworthy and need only slight encouragement to embolden them to insensate attacks upon both church and state!
 As Pobiedonostzeff' agents are the only sources of news in Russia. every dispatch from there must be carefully read between the lines. Apparently the plans of this willy Bourbon have reached the climax Apparently he is winning all along the line. As for the Czar, whatever his views, whatever his suspicious. he Is a helpless prisoner in the great web in which Pobiedonostzeif has him so tightly enwound.

A PESSIMISTIC VIEW OF
 THE IRON SITUATION

in the same proportion. The production of 1901 is of course. a matter of esti- mate. but the productive facilities are be- ing increased enormously. In this coun- try the furnaces under construction will be able to make about 100000 tons per annum. Germany is building furnaces which will add another million tons to the total Tn Russia new furnaces are building with capacity of not less than half million tons. New plants in Can ada are credited with a capacity of 4O0,- coo to 100000 tons. Few new furnaces are building in Great Britain, but those re- ported under reconstruction, and which produced nothing in 1900, will be equal to adding 75O,O0O tons to the supply before the end of the present year. Reports from France, Spain, Austria, Italy and Belgium account for twenty-four furn- aces under construction, which will to- gether have a capacity of not less than 600 900 tons. The sum of these new capaei- ties is equal to not less than six million tons per annum; and if the conditions favor may swell the pig iron production by the beginning of 1902 to over fifty mill- ions of tons per annum. A production of forty-1ve million tons is not at all im- probable if present conditions last.
 Whether the world can, even for a year, consume so much iron Is ques- ton which most thoughtful students of trade statistics will be disposed to an- swer in the negative. With superabund- ant pig iron and prices such as invariably attend overproduction, the prices of other and higher products of which pig iron is the basis cannot be sustained. As the re- suit of the impetus now experienced, it is quite probable that for the remainder of this year and through at least part of 1902 the volume of business in iron and steel will be the greatest the world has ever known; but if as the result of over and to congest the channels of distribu- tion, a sharp and more or less protracted reaction may be expected. Nothing that Congress could do would tend to avert this readjustment, sustain prices or stim- ulate consumption to an extent which would maintain the iron trades in pros- porous condition. The reverse of this proposition is not equally true, however, since 1t would not require much in the way of legislation of The wrong kind to precipitate a decline ia prices more rapid and disastrous thaR may be expected to result from natural causes.

From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 The views of Col. A NJ Shook of Ala bama, published in our issue of Friday. have occasioned some surprise on account of their pronouneediy pessimistic tone. Colonel Shook is an ironmaster of large experience. for many years prominently identified with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company, and one of the best-known representatives of this indus try in the south His views as to the future of iron and steel, not only in that section, but throughout the United States. may be briefly summarized as follows:
 By the end of next year the productive capacity of this country will bc so great that 1t will necessarily be larger than the consumptive capacity This will neces sarily force the price of the product low CT, and 1t will continue to go down with out regard to the ascendency of either great political party without regard to tariff, foreign policy, ship subsidy, or any thing else, until production has been re- stricted to such a point that consump- tion again overtakes it. When this has been done-the surplus has been con sumed-prices will again go us as resist lessly as they had gone down.
 Prophecy Is always dangerous. but this Is rather the result of a careful study of tho statistical position of iron and steel than speculative forecast of the fu- ture. The periodicity of seasons of de- pression in the iron industries has been noted before. but rather as coincidence than as establishing a rule which the statistician must regard as of invarible operation. Even Benner, the much studied prophet of the course of iron prices, while generally correct, has not always found his dates accurately tabu- lated. This, however is of small conse- quence. If the collapse of these indus tries Is imminent, 1t makes very little dinerence whether 1t comes at the close of 1902 or early in 1903
 Thoughtful students of the Iron and steel situation all over the world are reaching an agreement that the iron and steel producing facilities are outgrowing the requirements of consumption. The pig Iron make of the world in 1899 was in round figures, $ss.5OOO 900 tons, and in 1900 1t was about 49,50O,00O tons. There Is no evidence to show that the normal consumption Of the world has increased
