Typical Lack of italy.

For two years an exhaustive mono
graph on typical lake of Italy has
been in course of preparation by the
Italian Geographical society. The
picturesque lake of Bolsena, within
easy reach from Rome, was selected
for the purpose, and the studies include
the geographical and geological feat
ures, the rainfall and temperature and
seasonable variations the changes Of
level, the seiches of rhythmical pulsa-
tons of the surface, and the life forms.
The seiches constitute one Of the most
interesting of the phenomena. These
have regular period of twelve or
fifteen minutes, the rise of the water
on occasions reaching a foot. and the
oscillations are often so marked that
the natives speak of the lake as pant
Ing. They are more conspicuous at
Marta than on the opposite side of the
lake at BOlsena, rise of seven inches
at the former being correlated.

man Thomas X. Niedringhaus, of the
Republican state central committee.
was contributed by st. Louis brewers
to influence legislation. made a partial
report to the senate and asked more
time to pursue its investiga tons. The
report finds that Niedringhaus did not
contribute the $4,000 as credited to
him, but that the sum he contributed
was reduced by sums given by the
AnheuserBusch Brewing company and
also by Adolphus rusch. which, latter,
however, was to have been refunded
il. Niedringhaus could get it from the
national Republican committee
The committee finds that in filing
his statement of expenses in politics
Niedringhaus Gid not make said state
ment complete as required by the law
As to the pith of the charges the COM
mittee says that there is mo direct
evidence to show that the contribu
tons to the Republican state campaign
fund by Adolphus Busch, the An
heuser-Busch Brewing association, or
Otto F. Stifel. were for the purpose
Of influencing or affecting legislation
In the Missouri general assembly"
The committee then says as to the
use of federal patronage to influence
the senatorial contest. 1t is not ready
to report for want of time and it asks
an extension of time for the purpose
of investigating such use of patronage.
In an interview Niedringhaus de
MED that either Hallenbeck or any
other person had any authority to make
any representations on his part, and
said further: Il made no promises or
pledges of any kind to anybody, either
before or after the senatorial caucus.

As to BOycotting Whole Nation.

Mr. Justice BREWER suggests that
the decisions of the Hague tribunal may
be enforced in the future by a boycott
of the nations. That is, the country re-
fusing to accept and abide by a decision
Should be isolated from every other ma
ton and ostraczed in the commercial,
industrial and diplomatic world"
1t is conceivable that the compulsory
process might 90 as far as the withdrawal
of Ambassadors and Ministers by the
act of the boycotting Governments
But how would it be when it came to a
question of individual participation in
the declared ostracism?
Does Mr.. Justice BREWER suppose
that enthusiasm for the DEGREES pro-
ceedng from The Hague would induce
merchants to abandon profitable trade
relations with the boycotted nation and
cease to buy and sell in that market;
that fnanciers would be eager to with
draw paying investments in order to
help out a theory of international law;
that pleasure travellers would refrain
from visiting the boycotted land and
spending money there if Baedeker and
personal inclination beckoned them that
way? Does he believe, even, that men
would refuse to marry the boycotted
maidens If they were fair and otherwise
desirable?
How can you isolate nation from all
other nations, even il the Hague court

The Rev. walter Bentley sticks UP for His
RlTf1ts % tho Founder.

The last days session OF the sixth annual
convention OF the Actors Church Alliance
at the Savoy Theater yesterday was full
OF wrangling. 1t had started toward the
end OF the previous days session when the
Rev. F. j. C. Moran OF the law committee
read his annual report
Mr.. Moran in his report said that to +. F.
Mackay belonged the credit OF founding
the alliance The Rev. Walter E.. Bentley
jumped up to object, saying: THAT is not
the truth. am the founder DR.. Bentley
also objected to the statement In the re-
port that the primal object Of the alliance
was to suppress Sunday theatrical per-
formances.
The delegates began on the first question
yesterday, with the result that the sentence
to which DIR. Bentley objected was stricken
out But the other objection was forgotten
In the personal excitement.
Mrs. Bessie Bennington, the second vice.
president, who presided. had this to say
OF the society's objects.
1T Is fact that while originally our
primal object was to put an end to Sunday
performances we found antagonism to our
society from theatrical managers and we
decided to abandon the project until we
became stronger.
Managers say: You stop our Sunday
performances and we will take the actors
out OF the alliance. What can you do?
You cannot fight the trust when you are
weak
Bishop Potter was reelected president.
