viceroy Alexieff's decision TO trans
fer his headquarters from Port Arthur
to Hardin is proof of the unreadiness
of Russia for an aggressive campaign
at this time. The change amounts to
a retreat; and as such it clearly proph-
estes long war. Japan, to advance
proftably into Manchuria, must at
least reduce Port Arthur and should
capture yladiyostock. Russia's pur-
pose evidently is to avail herself of
her inexhansfihle resources, to wait
until an army can be modified vastly
superior In number to Japan's Thus
it appears that both countries will be
unable to bring about decisive test
until well along II the summer months.

obey the decision of the Synod and in vited non-guerilIas to attend the church. Thereupon the extreme gueriIlas with drew from the church and challenged the Church Council to justify it's deci- sion. Recently a great meeting was held at Ermelo. which was attended by the Rev. Mir. Bosnian, the moderator of the Reformed Church, who said that the only obstacle to peace was the resolu- tion of the council which was an insult to the patriotic guerillas. The resolu- tion was then rescinded. He argued that the cases of those who had merely surrendered and of the National Scouts were entirely different. With the for mer. he said. the Church had no quar- rel. but the Scouts could only be re- ceived after public confession. This the Scouts resoIutely refused to make. and then it was suggested that private con- fession would suffice. In the end a num- Der of committees were appointed, and it is still uncertain whether peace will be restored, or whether the non-gueril- las will start church of their own.

4 REAsoNARLE TIME

The New York Supreme court has been dealing with an interesting case. On May 21, 1882, according to Miss Car oline Smyth, Edward ]. Greacen prom ised to marry her within a reasonable time" Some twenty years later, in the spring of 1902, she asked him to marry her, and on his refusal she began an action to recover s50,0O0 MT. Greacen demurred to her complaint, that as Miss Smyth was presumably marriage able in 1882, when the alleged promise was made, she should have made her demand for specific performance ear- Her, for, says Greacen, it is to be doubt ed whether she is still as attractive as she was when twenty years younger He thinks also that she must have lost many of the qualities which had pre- viously made her marriageable. Su- preme Court Justice Bischoff has de- cided that Greacens demurrer was not we'll founded, and he overruled it, say ing that had the contract of marriage fixed a particular day for the ceremo- ny the defendants refusal to perform the contract on that day might have precluded plaintiffs demand for per- formanee twenty years later. But as no specific time was fixed plaintiffs readiness to perform her part of the contract at any and all times since may be deemed to have continued, as she al- leges it has.
 Of course. And instead of making fuss MT. Greacen ought to consider himself lucky man to be asked to marry Miss snyth. She was certainly reasonable about the time

Those who have held copper stocks while they have been dropping, and who want to live to see the day when they will get even. will be cheered by the assertion of an expert that the ex- cess of the copper supply over the de- mand has been more apparent than ae- tual. The new methods applied to re- duction of copper ore in the last four or five years have reduced the cost of treatment not less than sixty per cent The natural result has been to make profitable the handling of low grade propositions that had not before justi- fled the expense of extracting the val ues. Of course, this greatly stimulated production, and as a general proposi- tion it might have been expected that the price of the product would be un- favorably affected. The fact is. how ever, that the extreme fiuctuation for the last twelve months has not exceed ed one and one-half cents pound. and the average price through the year has been about twelve and one-half cents The fact that copper not only has greater tensile strength, but greater conductivity, than aluminium has fixed its superiority for electrical uses, and new applications in the arts and sci ences are constantly expanding the de- mand for copper. Even within few months the practical applications of copper oxidations in various lines of ornamentation, as shown in many hol- iday novelties, indicate a new field just opened for the consumption of copper.
 This will comfort many who are in need of comfort. Now if somebody will open a new field for the consumption of copper stocks there will be more pleasure.

MORE POISON IN aoBAcoo.

These are great days for the destruc- tion of old notions Nicotine has conn monly been supposed to be the poison- ous element in tobacco. But a new theory has been advanced by staff writer of the London Lancet. He de- clares that only a harmless, infinitesi- nal portion Of the nicotine in tobacco ever reaches the smokers lips But to make matters worse he contends that ordinary tobacco smoke contains many compounds which occur in far larger quantities than nicotine possibly can, and of which some are undoubtedly poisons. One ounce of tobacco, smoked in the sorm of cigarettes, gives one fifth of pint of pure carbon inonoxide gas, and probably more when smoked in pipes or cigars. This gas, if inhaled, would be taken up rapidly by the blood, and would produce symptoms very similar to those of nicotine. The trembling of the limbs and the hands, the dizziness and stupor, the disturb ance of the nerve centers and of the circulation, palpitation on slight ef- fort, and the feeble pulse may be the indications Of either carbon monoxide or nicotine poisoning.
 Slaves of the weed who are sure that they are not poisoned by nicotine may be willing to confess that carbon gas is hurting them. It is well enough to have another reason for stopping smoking.
