Sea EncroachIna on EnaIand.

During the great storms of few
weeks ago the coast of England suf-
fered severely, especially at Dover,
where about a quarter of a mile Of
the famous chalk cliffs fell into the
sea. If the computation of the ex-
perts is accurate England is having
1000 acres sliced off its coast every
year, which would make away with
the whole of England in 16,5OO years
The problem of the disappearance Of
England is like the calculation that
the Mississippi lowers the level of its
bed by the one six-thousandth part of
foot every year, or one foot in 5000
years. and that, therefore, the conti-
nent of America will itself vanish into
the ocean in few million years.

The biblical phrase, Many are called,

A fad Of women this winter is to
add to their collection Of divan pill
lows one made from sweet fern and

asking. A woman who happens to
have some kind New England friends
who have spent the long summer
days in gathering the material for
such a fragrant offering is in luck.
says the Indianapolis News.
New York women with summer
homes up in Connecticut all have
these pillows, for they say there is
nothing else that takes them back to
the days of the fields and forest.
Gathered during the summer and
dried, the sweet fern and bayberries
and leaves are at once ready for use.
The odor is quite distinctive and pc
culiar to the New England fields. as
the sweet balsam is to the mountains
and forest.

SWEDISH WITNESSES.

Paris. Jan 30.-The international commission inquiring into the North sea incident at its srssion to-day heard two Swedish witnesses. Captain Jonn- son and Mate Stromberr of the cargo boat Aldeharan. They both testified that few hours preceding the firing on the British trawlers by the Rus slan squadron their boat was attacked in the North sea by strange warship which fired many shots at the Aide baran. but did not do her serious dam- age. The stranger then disappeared.
 Counsel for Russia protested that this testimony was not directly con nected with the North sea incident, but Admiral Fournier F'rance,. presi- dent of the commission. ruled that the testimony was admissible.
 Hugh O'Reirne. the British agent, said the strange vessel was the Rus sian transport Kamtchatka. which mistook the Swedish craft for a tor. pedo boat. Mir O'Reirne further de- clared that the Kamtchatka thereafter sent wireless message to Vice Ad- miral Rojes.vensky notifying him that she had been attacked by a torpedo boat. and Rojestvensky thereupon or dered bis snu"@r"n tn he on the look mt for torpedo boats which. Nj" 0'Beirne asserted, caused the North sea incident.

The scene of Friday nights robbery was in the same local ity as the recent assault committed by d negro upon young girl. and the neighbors are somewhat excited about this new affair.
 It appears that Frank Mancini. pro. prietor of cafe. at 3S0 Congress ave. nue, had been visiting ill Waverly street Friday evening and when pro pairing to leave about II o'clock he no. ticed negro patrolling uD and down before the house.

FAMOUS HORSE FAMILY.

Baron Heftler. a ;;ussIan no.,eman who has been staying at the Waldorf. Astoria in New York. told New York Tribune reporter of an important dis covery he made recently at Oyster Bay.
 'I have made very important dis covery since I came to America" said tie baron at the hotel. "and the discov. cry is that of family of Arabian horses from which the Darley Arabian came aud which was supposed to be extinct. The family is not extinct. for there are representatives within a few miles of this city (Oyster Bay. The American people do not seem to appre- ciatc the value of the Arabian horse nor understand him. He is the yeast by which ali horsefesh is leavened. He primitive horse, pure and not monsrel- ized. Ire European governments know this and have spent millions of dollars trying to procure Arabian horses for the development of their native types. Tie English people were very fortunate in securing the Darley Arabian, the parent of ti:e English thoroughbred.
 'his one horse has been worth un- told millions to them. Had they at the same tine procured Arab mares of the same tyre they would have been of in- cstimable yaIue. but tley could not do it. Wien it was too late they attempt e,i to procure Arab mares of the same family and after twenty years effort in tie orient purchased two or three stallions and mares at an enormous ex- pense, which they were not fortunate enough 10 keep. owing to the enterprise of an enthusiastic American. who be- came possessor of them. This man spent fortune in developing this fam fly and keeping the blood pure and has practically sacrificed his fife to this mo- b,e task.
