UNCERTAIN PROPERTY.

If our government decides to buy those islanrs will the Danish Landsthing or whatever kind of thing it is give us a warranty bill of sale? Will they war rant their old islands to be sound in wind and limb. and that they will not buck. run away or kick over the dashboard? Tropical islands are very much like what the Charleston negro. in slavery times said of free negroes He had saved enough money to buy himself from his master and become a free man. A few days afterwards he was out in the bay fishing when his boat upset and he came near drowning. As soon as he could master and eXclaimed: "Marse Dummy, I want to sell myself back to you?" What for Sam?" inquired his late master Well. to tell you de trufe." said Sam, mournfully, 'nlgger property's too d-d onsartin!"
 That is about the condition of islands in the tropical regions. Sometimes one can be found where it was left, and some times only a deep hole can be discovered at the place. IL occasionally occIrs that one Dokes it's head above water. like a whale coming up to blow, and after some centuries or aeons it blows off it's own head, and sometimes the bottom falls cut and the island is gone. One which is apparently fixed for all time may tall through and bulge up the earth on the other side. They are menstrous uncer. tain things. are islands.

Lord Kelvin on the Universe's Mass
London Telegraph

LOHoOn leieSrdpH
 One of the very latest speculations of Lord Kelvin, so lightly lies upon him the burden of seventy-eight years. is con- cerned with the sum total of the mass of the universe. Profound enough certainly even for him: But how large Is the uni verse? That, of course, cannot De told; he takes account only of this universe of ours whose suns and stars and nebulae are near enough to be seen, and the linn It's of this domain-which may be mere province of the totaiity of worlds-he places at such distance that it would take light, travelling at 1S6,0O0 miles per second, 3,300 years to reach us. Assum- ing that the matter of all these bodies was once at rest, diffused in space. how much of 1t must there be to produce by their mutual attractions among the stars and planets those motions that we know to exist? The conclusion to which Lord Kelvin arrives is," says Professor Greg ory, in the May number of The Leisure Hour. that if a mass of matter equal to one thousand million suns were at rest In this vast extent of space and equally distributed through 1t 25,000.000 years ago. the different parts would by this time be moving at about the rate actually meas ured by astronomers which Is. perhaps, the most daring and far-reaching calcu- lation that any physicist or astronomer has yet made.

PARIs'S FAMOUS CAFES.
Lament Over Their Disappearance
 and Decadence of Customers.

Paris Letter to London Telegraph.
 M. Aureiien Scholl mourns and the paIig. The Maison Doree has been offered for sale. Sadder still, when the famous restaurant one of the two or three places where boulevardiers of the Second to sup, was brought to auction, not a single bid was forthcoming at the min imum price demanded It will be put up for sale again shortly, this time finally. eide the fate of the famous house. Sur vivors of the great days of suppers and gay living of the good old wild sort are sorrowfuily asking each other what that become cheap mark-up boot shop: which is the melancholy lot of an equally eel ebrated cafe close by on the same side of the boulevards? Or what would, per kaps, be a still greater fall. will 1t re- open, as~faas been the cruel fate of aTl- other once celebrated restaurant. also in the near vicinity? Old Parisians seem to think that any destiny would be better trasserie, in which supper, instead of being an artistic enjoyment takes the form of . hasty consumption of sausage and sauerkrout, washed down by pots of Munchner.
 The sad conclusion at which all bouie- vardiers of the old authentic stock appear to have regretfully arrived, is that, at all events. the Maison Doee, even 1T con be what 1t was. The melancholy truth, confessed alike by Parisians of the departed school of epicures and by the cooks who used to cater for them. Is that as a great chef whom I ventured to question on the painful topic said to me. with tii-conceaied emotion: "The race of men who used to dine and sup. not feed. is alas! my dear Monsieur, extinct" |" Beer shops, sauerkrout. and Hungarian bands. but, above all, the spirit of the times-dyspepsia of the bodily man and anaemta of his purse-have killed of the noble race of epicures. Where are the days of the old Maison Doree. when the "Pere Verdier'' used to say to the GUS toners with dignity: II charge you high prices so that the vulgar herd may not lntrude upon you" High his prices cer- tainly were-a quiet supper for two run ming to 30 pounds or so. Nowadays peo- ple, according to my informant. the mel ancholy chef, think they are leading a giddy life when they pay restaurant bill of as many shiflings. and as for the surroundings amid which they eat, they prefer the noise and hustle of the com mon room to the refined intimacy of a private parlor, with venerable major dorno ali to themselves. The Mason Do- rec. on the contrary. has remained to the last under the managementof Nerdier s descendants, and the famous cook, Cas- imir, uneompromis singly devoted to the ancient traditions of the gastronomic art. the adopts of which are supposed to be dying out in Paris.

 American horse and mule raisers may now count upon a large, steady and ex- banding foreign demand apart from war conditions in other parts of the world. For some reason Canadian exports of horses arc not as large as in Former years. The Dominion exported 2.Q0O in 1896 and only 7,509 In 1901. It Is said that Canadian horses are not easily accli- mated In other parts of the world.

SUNDAY, MAY s5, 1902.
A sHocxrNa REVELATION.

In a recent issue of The Leavenworth Eimes we find brief editorial on the subject of the, arrest of children in Chica- no from which we make this extract:
 superintendent Bodine of the Depart ment of Compulsory Education states that l7,00o children under the age of l6 were arrested last year for one thing or another, and a majority of them were subjected to the contsminatins influences of the police station cell--ooms. This was entirely against the law, which for bids even the detention of child under l2 in a station, or the confinement of one under 16 in the same building with Crowr-up prisoners. Mayor Harris on las now stopped this custom of the police, in accordance with suggestions from the judge of the juvenile court.
 n is dificuit to imagine more d:scre- nitabie or depiorable state of affairs than this The population of Chicago is in round numbers, about 100000. We do not know how many of them are under, six teen, or what would be a fair estimate. but we do know that the arrest Of so many children in one year is appalling. whether it indicates a lack of parental restraint, or whatever may be the cause or causes, the fact remains that the showing made is deplorable.
 And not the least revolting feature of khA business Is the statement that these children, many of whom were of tepder years. and not beyond the power of reclamation. are locked up with the most hardened and abandoned criminals of all ages and all conditions of wickedacss and sleprsvity. They must necessarily emerge From such contact worse than they went sn,. and perhaps have there become fixed an their criminal intentions. It vas against the law. we are told. and the , mayor has stopped it. but why did he not prevent it? As mayor of 'he city he knew what the law was. and should have known. if he did not, that the law was being violated. It is a shocking recitation. in all its features. and adds pne more to the counts in the indict-
 nent against Chicago wickedness.
