What Would Be Revealed II Water

Leslie's Weekly says: If the waters
Of the Pacific could be drained there
would be revealed vast stretch OF
territory, comprising enormous pla.
teaus, great valleys for which no par
allels exist on the land surface, lofty
mountains beside which the Himalaya
and the Andes would look like hillocks
and tremendous hollows or basins only
to be compared with those on the faoe
OF the moon.
While there are great mountains and
huge basins or deeps, the plateau areas
are by far the most extensive. Relar

Warming the North Pole.

A novel scheme for rendering the
Arctic regions inhabitable has been
advanced by scientist, who proposes
to widen Behring Strait and remove
all obstacles to the entrance Of the
warm Japanese current, which he con
siders then would pour down in suffi-
cient quantities to melt the ice of the
Polar seas, thus retaining vast en-
pire. Behring Strait is thirty-six miles
wide at the narrowest part, with a
depth of from thirty to forty fathoms,
but the channel is INSTRUCTED by three
small islands. These he would re-
move, and would also get rid of those
rocks and reefs along the coast which
offer most impeachment to the free &C
cess of the current.

East Indian woods and burn with the
most delicious perfume.

CHANGE OF POLICY,
Conditions in South Africa.

Conditions in South Africa are
developing in accordance with
expectation, and there is there
fore no surprise over the an
nonncemerlt that Great Britain
has determined to make the
erstwhile Boer republics regular
crown colonies. This Is due to
the hostile attitude Of the Beers,
which compels the bandonment
of the idea of establishing advi-
sorry councils in which the burgh-
ers would have representation.
Under the new plan Is, 600
British regulars will hereafter
constitute the military peace Of
South africa. 1t is argued that
this strong garrison can be used
as a feeder for the garrison in
India in emergencies. The force
will be made up mainly of re-en-
listed men, large proportion of
whom are generally married, and
it is hoped that this transplanting
of married soldiery to South At
RIGA will eventually have a good
effect in peopling the country
with men and women of Unborn
loyalty. This is a far-reaching
plan, but the transformation Of
Africa must necessarily be a
matter of slow process, and there
is nothing surer than a change
of population in revolutionizlng
public sentiment.
If the Boer experiment in
Mexico proves to be successful, a
great trek of Beers by the steam
ship route may be expected.
This will reduce the number of
irreconcilable Beers and make
room for the new blood which
Great Britain hopes to infuse in
to South Africa.

For two years past agents OF Will

the western plains for relics of the an

So far many interesting bones have
been resurrected from their burial
places in the rocks of the pre-Adamfte
ages. The horse, in its origin, had
several varying prototypes. The Ma

fossil remains of a small herd Of the
species called the hipparion were dis
covered in Nebraska. From them it is
believed that a complete animal can
be mounted.

FREELY PREDICTED THAT EVEN

WAS IMPENDING.

New York, July 26.-'rhe announce.
ment on the stock exchange late yes
terday Of the suspension Of the firms
of Talbot J. Taylor & Co. and W. L.
Stow g. Co. was the sequel to period
Of excited selling of stocks and wide
cuts in prices which has not been
equalled before since the present
movement to liquidate set In. There
is nothing in either failure that can be
traced to business or Industrial con-
ditions outside the exchange, the
cause lying close to diagnosis OF
speculative collapse. Both firms have
been largely concerned in speculative
stock market pools, formed for the
purpose of taking on line of stocks,
sustaining their price by supporting
orders, real or manipulative, and seek
ing to realize profits by selling out to
outsiders at the high prices. Such OPP
erations have suffered from increasing
difficulties with the growth in the
stringency of money, the
9niicitude Of Bankers
over loans employed in Such projects
and the jaded appetite of. the public
for securities.
The operations Of the firm of W. L.
Stow & Co. were on large scale In
Mexican Central, and the difficulties
which have accumulated upon them
are understood by the price Of IL
touched by Mexican Central under the
forced selling yesterday and the high
level at 81 1-8 last year.
The failure of Talbot j. Taylor & Co.
will inevitably be connected with the
great market operations of James r.
Keene by reason Of his family connec-
ton with and frequent employment Of
the firm. Mr.. Keene's operations in
stocks are too numerous to detail, and
much mystery usually attaches to
them necessarily from their nature.
But the market management of the
United States Steel stocks on behalf
Of the syndicate and the conduct Of a
Southern Pacific pool are the opera
tions with which his name is most
notably connected. The accumula-
ton, according to common bel.ef. Of
100000 shares OF Southern Pacific and
the lifting Of its price above 80 were
Based Upon the Assumption
that Southern Pacific bonds we're to
be issued for that roads work of I'M
provement and the net earnings ap-
piled to dividends. Talbot J. Taylor
& Co., as representatives of the pool,
felt themselves powerful enough to
challenge the Union Pacific party's
refusal to adopt this policy and to car
ry the quarrel 70 the courts. The an
imosities and resentments en-
gendered by that quarrel are supposed
to have added to the weight of the
firms difficulties and to have aided in
bringing it down
