No Provision for Punishment of Guilt,

London. Nov. 2S.-Regret is expressed in the London morning newspapers that there is no provision in the Anglo Russian covention for the punishment of those who may be found responsible for the Dogger Bank affair, and the Morning Post sarcastically declares that Great Britain has created prece- dent for permitting foreign navies to- fire on British vessels with virtual iIn- punity. Otherwise the editorial articles merely echo previously expressed opin- ions. Lord Lansdown's warning to coal shippers is universally approved by the newspapers, some declaring that the letter has been issued. none too soon.

AN INSULT TO THE POWERS.
View Taken In Japan of Russian
Volunteer Fleets Work..

TOKYO, July 25.-The passage Of
the Dnrdanclles by the Russian volun
teer feet steamers. the seizures OF
German mail and the capture in thu
Red sea by Russia of the Peninsulai
and Oriental steamer Malacca have
attracted great attention throughout
Japan. The government is watching
the situation keenly, but it has not
given any form of expression to its
views or indication that 1t will take
any action In the matter.
The editors Of the Tokyo newspapers
have met and passed a resolution de-
clsring that the passage of the OAR
danelles by the Russian ships is a VIC
latlon Of treaty obligations and an in
suit to all of the powers; that the sci
cure of ships by the Russian volunteer
vessels jeopardizes the interests of all
neutral powers and that Russia's ac-
ton %endangers the peace of the world.

Does Not Concern washington.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Any ac-
ton which may be taken regarding
the seizure of the British ship Ardova
by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer
Smolensk is a matter for the British
government. 1t is not n matter which
in the least concerns the United States.
This is the view taken In official cir
Giles here. However, the decision of the
Russian government to withdraw the
authority given to the volunteer feet
to make searches and seizures simpli-
fes the situation very materially. Pre-
sumably in view of this new attitude
of the Russian government the Ardova
will be released promptly, the seizure
d%isavoweds and the incident closed
without delay.

che Pelican Made q Mistake,

a strange thing happened in St.
james park the other day. A pelil-
can was sitting on the rock which
forms its usual roosting place, APP
parently asleep, and a gull was
swimming close by in the water.
Suddenly the pelican darted out
its huge bill and picked the gull up
bodily. Up went the bill into the
air, and the gull disappeared int
Me long pouch. The swallowing
capacity of the pelican was overtax-
ed, however, and one could see by
the moving pouch that a life and
death struggle was going on inside
Ultimately the bill of the pelican
was lowered, the gull tumbled into
the water and swan away, shaking
its feathers. 1t then coolly peTched
on another rock q few yards away
from the pelican, looking none the
worse for its exciting experience

THE EARTH AS IT MIGHT BE.
What Would Happen IL the Sun Sud.
denly Became Extinct

The boldest Imagination may vel
stand appalled, at the consequence;
/ Of sudden extinction of the sun
For eight and Il quarter minutes
the length of time that it takes the
light of the sun to reach the earth
we should not know that anything
had happened. Then the darkness
would fall upon the world, neither
the moon nor the planets would give
any light, and the fixed stars would
shine like tiny points of fire out Of a
coal black sky. The moisture of the
atmosphere would instantly CONCEAL
in a universal deluge of ice, the
small stock of heat possessed by the
earth would rapidly radiate into
space, and the temperature would
go on falling till degree of cold
more than 800 degrees below zero
would be reached, and the very gases
Of the atmosphere would be liquefied
and fall on the frozen surface of the
planet.
Absolutely total darkness there
would not, of course, be and never
could be unless all the stars were ex-
tinguished. But relative darkness
would continue for an enormous pc
Rod which can only be approximate
ly calculated. The solar system is
moving through space toward a
point in the constellation of Her
eules at speed Of 100000, 900 miles
q year, or four miles a second. But
there are no self luminous stars
within a distance equal to 100000
times the distance between the earth
and the sun. Therefore this gigan-
tic gulf would have to be crossed be-
fore starlight became sunlight and
this it would take some llS,90O
years to do,
Toward tho end of that period,
supposing always that the other
star systems had not moved CORE
spondingly, stars in Hercules would
begin to shine as suns, and the long
darkened solar system would be re-
illuminated by rays OF ever incFeas-
ing intensity until it fell ints IT'S ap-

mentioned that the tremendous

RISE OF THE R0THSCHlLDS.
II Had Its Origin In Mayer Anselm's
Love of Arithmetic.

Love of Arithmetic.
Had the father of the "original'
Rothscliild had his way the talents
Of this family might nevei have
been known to the world of finance.
When Mayer Anselm Rothschild
was born in the Judenstrassc,
Frankfort, in 1743, his parents con-
secrated him to the church. AL
though he worked in his fathers
store, driving a bargain whenever
there was an opportunity, he was
told constantly that he was to be-
come a rabbi. For long time the
boys remonstrances were in vain,
but he finally overcame his fathers
will in the following way;
Tho elder Rothschild had left his
son one day at the home Of neigh
boring rabbi in order that this rev.
erend doctor might persuade the
youth to choose the synagogue rath-
er than the counting room. After
q long talk the rabbi gave the boy
the Talmud and asked him to read
scertain passages. An hour or SO
later the father came for his child,
and, finding no one at the door, he
stepped into the hallway. A low
murmur from an adjoining room
caused him to look quickly, and his
heart swelled with joy. He saw hi
beloved Mayer crouchipg over
book and chanting from its page
as If learning something by heart.
Approaching nearer, he saw that the
volume was the Talmud.
"What are you reading, my boy :"
asked the father, taking the. book
With one hand while he pstted his
sons head lovingly with the other.
Before the lad could answer a loose
leaf slipped out and floated to the
floor, The father picked up the
runaway sheet of paper and stared
at it hard. Finally the smile re-
turned, but it was broader and more
worldly. The boy had tucked into
his Talmud a leaf from an old
arithmetic Iheee. was no further
effort to thwaft the lads ambition,
and q year Or so later he was sent to
Hanover TO serve as an employee III
the banking hsuse Of Oppenheim.
After a short apprenticeship young
Rothschild returned to his native
town and opened banking estab-
lishment Of his own.-New York

Startling Area Of Our Coal Fields.

1t is estimated by experts that the
area of American coal fields at pres
ent open to mining is more than five
times as great as that of the coal
fields of England, France, Germany
and Belgium, the great coal produc-
ing countries of Europe. While
practically all the available coal
areas OF those countries have been
opened to mining, ours have scarce
" been estimated. When we take
into consideration the fact that coal
is one of the great motive powers IN
the manufacturing world il is evI-
dent that this ilnmense wealth OF

E.srtnquake Gowns.

Many earthquake shocks were felt
In England in 1850. One occurred
on Feb. s and another on March 8.
Not much damage was done, hu. the
occasion was improved BY various
diylnes, including DR.. Sherlock,
then bishop Of London, who, sec
onded by trooper Of lord Dela-
wares, prophesied that a terrible
earthquake would shake the city on
April 8, Two or three days before
that date the trooper was sent to
Bedlam, but London was panic
stricken.

were ,hronged, and at Windsor lodg-

many were the fugitiyes: Some

Malibran and Sontag, the two IA

Sontag was German, very sweet

Sest to puzzle and terment poor
Juliet at re.oArsals and when beg
gsd by her to say on what part OF
the stage she was going to fall in
the last scene always replied she
really did not know, really could not
tell, Sometimes she died in one
place, sometimes in another, just
as it happened. On the night Of the
performance Sontag meekly appear
ed to follow Romeo, who maliciously
insisted on dying close down to the
footlights in front of the epgtsin,
Juliet fell dead by his slde, and the
fair cqy14ses had to be removed by
