COCHRAN SEES DAWN
OF A NEW IRISH ERA
'Cities and Gardens to Replace
Boys and Poverty"

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-W. Bourke
Cochran. who recently returned from
Ireland, in an interview today, declared
his belief that Ireland will soon have
home rule. He is most optimistic re-
garding the future of Ireland and be-
lieves the land bill will be the salvation
OF the country Mr.. Cochran said:
The passage of the Irish land act in
sures the settlement of the Irish ques-
ton, which has disturbed millions of
people for scores of years. 1t removes
all reason for refusing to let the native
people settle the conditions of their own
government-and this means that Ire
land will forge rapidly to the front as
a nation, even as her people have come
forward through their own inherent
qualities
II predict q wonderful future for Ire
land. 1t will become a nation of cities
and gardens, instead of Dogs and
poverty. Emigration to America will be
istopped
THE future OF Ireland is in her own
hands. The politicians, united under the
able leadership of John Redmond, have
one aim and irresistible power, all
toward freedom. Ireland will be free. %

51s@6 per cent for six months.
Mercantile paper this week was ex-
trerlely dull. The out-of-town demand
fell of decidedly. and there were only
one or two local institutions which were
willing to consider paper. and then only
to a very limited extent.
Merchants largely Withheld it from the
market. seeking such accommodation as
they needed from their own banks.

Considerable amusement was fur
nIshed Judge Mills and the spectators
in the United States branch Oft the Po-
lice Court yesterday by John Moss, a
negro attorney, who has been practic-
ing at the local bar for q number Of
years. Moss placed himself in con-

barely escaped being sent down for the
offense. The circumstances and the di-
alogue surrounding the case were so
ludicrous as TO set the entire court
room and the phlegmatic judge In an
uproar of laughter.

LIME IN THE OCEAN.

AS the geologist wades about among
the pools or follows the shore line al
low water, he is impressed with the
prodigious amount of lime segregated
from the sea water by the superabun-
dant marine life exhibited on all sides.
Every pood, every rock is teeming with
life of some kind, and most of these
organisms have secreted a certain
amount }of lime from the sea water to
form tier shells or their bones, internal
as wen as external structure Most of
the psols are lined with so-calIed "sea
mosshs," more strictly calcareous fern
like corallines of pink or purple hues,
the lime secreted by minute polyps. In
ad dition to this, there are many forms
Of algae, or sea plants, that secrete
ifme- Considerable masses of a struct-
ureless limestone are so formed in the
5Bay of Naples.
Apart from the vast beds of sea
! shells we know to be secreted in the
| mud and sand as we'll as those shells
Ike the abalone found under the rocks.
al enormous amount of segregated lime
| is represented by various forms OF
crustacea. particularly OF the worm or
annend FAMILY, fncased in tubes of lime
| These tubes cover the floors of caves.
while the walls are still more densely
coated with limpets and rock barnacles.
while in the crevices hundreds of little
crabs crawl about and menace you with
suspicious eyes and formidable claws,
and hermit crabs carrying their whelk
she'll home ON their backs swarm in the
pools.
With such a teeming superabundance
OF lime gathering life. the mining geolo-
gist no longer wonders at the vast
amount OF limestone he meets with in
the marine rocks, in which his blanket
veins of lead and silver are found. as at
Aspen and Leadville, Col, and through
out the world generally wherever lead
abounos. He sees now how il is that he
occasionally finds fossil sea shell in the
limestone walls of his mine, and only
wonders he does not find more. In mines
Warbler east he would find the limestone
COMPOSED Of nothing but a mass of sea
shells. Deposits Of comminuted shells
and coral sands, thrown up On shore by
the stormy waves, may be cemented into
compact rock. or limestone. by the re-
deposit of carbonate of lime between the
fragments. In such a way is formed the
'shell limestone" Of Florida. and doubt
less many of our old fossiIiferous lime
stones were formed in this way.-Mines

KING AMONG HIS KIND.

An enormous moose was recently shot
in southern Alaska by an Indian hunter.
II was probably about fifty years old,
and its antlers are considered the largest

Of six feet two inches, the antiers of the
