The Evolution of Russell.

Until a short time ago F. w. Rus
sell, the apostle of the new land move.
ment in Ireland, was a very unpopu.
lar person. He is a man of intense con.
v%iction, a born fighter, giving no quar-.
ter and asking none. When he re.
moved to Dublin from Cupar-Fife, in
Scotland, where he was born in 1S4L
he became an officer of one Of the tenn.
perance associations Of the city. For
twenty-eight strenuous years he was
the unrelenting fee Of the publicans OF
saloonkeepers.
At every licensing session there was
Russell. What he didn't know about
the liquor business wasn't worth know,
ing. The best lawyers that the trade
could obtain might have as well butted
their heads against stone walls az
try to break him down when he an
peared as a witness against applicants
for new licenses or as an applicant
to have old ones revoked. As he sat
on the witness chair, alert, always
ready with the right retort, always
ready with the facts and figures, he
went through a practical training thai
stood him in good stead when he went
into politics later on.-Everybody's

Oceanopraphv.


The recognition of oceanography as a
distinct branch of science may be said
to date from the commencement of the
Challenger investigations. The fuller
knowledge we now possess about all
oceanic phenomena has had a great
modifying influence on many general
conceptions as to the nature and ex-
tent of those changes which the crust
OF the earth is now undergoing and
has undergone in past geological times.
Our knowledge of the ocean is still
very incomplete. So much has, how
ever, already been acquired, that the
historian will in all probability point
to the oceanographical discoveries DUR
ing the past forty years as the most i'm
portant addition to the natural knowl.
edge Of u planet since the geograph-
ical voyages associated with the names
Of Columbus, Da CANA, and Magellan
at the end of the. fifteenth and the be-
ginning of the sixteenth centuries.

Useless Fortres,e, Of portsmouth.

Ososcss EOTLreB8c9 OF
The town of Portsmouth, England,
stands on q peninsula some four miles
long, with a maximum breadth of
nearly the same. The narrow isthmus
which joins this peninsula to the main
land Is intersected by a deep moat and
guarded by a line of small forts, or
rather earthworks, each mounting n
heavy gun. After the isthmus Is
crossed the mainland remains perfectly
nat for a little over a mile, and then
rises abruptly to a height of 500 feet,
forming the chalky ACTIVITY known
as Portsdown Hill.
The crest of this is crowned by four
enormous fortresses standing a mile
apart, each of which is capable of shell
tering a garrison of 10000 men. These
were constructed during the first
Premiership Of Disraeli (Lord Beacons-
Held. Even at that time their utility
was doubtful, and though less than
thirty years ago nearly $25, 100000 was
expended on them, they are now con-
sidered obsolete. The same may be
said Of the four water fortresses con-
structed on the Solent between Ports
mouth and the Isle of Wight at the
same time, while the massive granite
forts at the entrance of the harbor
would be dismantled In short order by
modern artillery, so that as far as ar
tifcial means of defense are concerned
England's greatest arsenal would be
an easy prey for an invader.

New Pine Forests In California.

For three months, beginning last No
yember, a squad of from ten to fifteen
men, under a competent leader, spent
its time reseeding the mountain regions
of Southern California, where fires had
denuded the surface. The country,
alarmed by the decreasing water sup
ply, asked for this work, and assist
ance was given by the towns of the
section visited in carrying on the re-
planting. Pine, in varieties suited to
the moisture likely to be secured, was
generally planted. On March 1, this
year, 1t wa announced that the seeds
planted in November had begun to
terminate, and that there was promise
of a successful growth over the areas
treated. In a few years the bare noun
tain sides will be clothed again with

Rabbit scourre in Australia.


The common rabbits OF Europe were
originally introduced into Australia
for purposes Of sport. They. spread
over the country like a scourge. So
rapidly did they multiply that in 1879
legislative action for their destruction
was begun in South Australia and the
example vas soon followed by New
South Wales. New Zealand, Queens
land and Tasmania. At the present
time their range in Australia is prob
ably equal in are to that Of our three
largest States-Texas, California and
Montana. Millions of dollars have
been spent for bounties, for poisons
and in various other methods of de-
struction; thousands of miles of rabbit
proof fences have been built, and
hundreds of schemes for destroying
the animals have been suggested, but
nothing has yet been found that will
effectually exterminate the pest.-De-

About o~1,s00.o00 i'm Wages.
Lowell, Mass. - The textile council
has declared the great strike in the
Lowell mills at an end. Every union
affiliated with the council was repre-
sented and the vote was unanimous.
Mule spinners and loom fixers were in
cluded in this vote, despite statements
that they would oppose a return to
work.
President Conroy said: "We now;
worship at the altar Of defeat, but
later we shall rise again. and conquer"
The strike began on March 30, and
involved about 1900 operatives. The
mills We're closed till June 1, when the
agents opened the gates and the ma
jority of the operatives went back to
work. The strike has cost in wages
about 81, 100000.
1t is understood that the agents will
take back all the old help they have
room for and will make no discrimina-
ton against the leaders of the strike.
The high price ofacotton precluded any
hope Of the success of the strikers, a

HOPES FOR corn EXPECTATION.
Expert Returns From Europe Confident
OF q Good Market Abroad.

Boston, Mass.-A. f. Brown, a we'll
known grain merchant Of this city, re-
turned from a trip abroad on the Do
minion liner Mayfiower. Mr.. Brown
speaks quite optimistically Of the out
look for corn expectation. He says:
"'The London market is strong at
present; not as strong as the American
market, to be sure, but in a fair way
to become so before long. Argentina
is offering corn quite freely, which is
the prime reason for the small demands
on our supply, but the crop outlook in
Europe Is dubious. The chances are
that orders will be coming to the Uni
ted States in large number in due time.
Provided the demand does m~aterialize,
the point which especially interests
commercial men of Boston is how
much Of the corn will be exported from
this port. It is too soon to make any
predictions. Boston steamers will get
q fair share"
