WBAT FRENcHMAy SEES,

M. Denys Cochin, a French deputy, has some interesting ideas concerning the German emperor. First he declares that whatever degree of strength and security yet remains to France is due to the remnants of the policy pursued at the close of M. Delcasse's term of office. Her weakness is due to the fact that she allowed this minister to be dis missed in consequence of the sudden dissatisfaction of the German emperor. M. Delcasse was not frightened, adds M. Cochin, and he was right The Ger man emperor has secured for his coun- try an immense, but as yet unconsoli- dated, fortune which war might scat ter in an hour. He will not expose the work of his reign to certain peril, being a merchant emperor, not a warrior He threatens some and urges on others, as he did President Kruger and the Empe- TOT of Russia, to war to the knife, but he is not a fortunate conqueror, as is evident from the Kiao-chau and the Cameroons. "He has no exaggerated pride for with his imperial hand he shakes the abominable and sanguinary hand of Abdul Hamid. He endeavors to bar our road in barbarous Morocco when we want to civilize it in the in- terest and with the approval Of the whole world. He has not the delicacy of soul of military heroes, for at one moment he harshly accuses us against all likelihood of making a mystery of our treaties, while at another he kisses hls hand to France from the heights of the Metz citadel. Yet he is surprised and een shocked that France should maintain a sulky attitude

THEPROMTSING PEAT.

As the coal supply dwindles in ouan- tity and increases in price the peat SUD- ply looks more and more important, When it becomes really important New Haven will be glad that there is good peat right around her. How to utilize peat to the best advantage Is a subject of study with many sharp people. They have been experimenting with peat briquettes at the Menominee gas works in Wisconsin with good results The works were run for one day on bri- quettes made by a Chicago company from superior grade of peat from a Wisconsin bog. The yield of gas from a ton of the briquettes, as compared to that from a ton of the coal ordinarily used, stood in the ratio of about IS .00C cubic feet to LOGO. Tn fact, the possi- bllities in thiG direction appear so great that the latest report of an experiment station remarks that the makers of gas-producing plants and the manufac
 turers of gas engines have become so enthusiastic that their eagerness to de- velop power on a large scale almost stands in the way of the more modest efforts to develop briquettes and solid fuel before going into the broauer field.
 Experiments, conducted at Chicago have shown that bog fuel was better

WHO CALLS THEM WONDERSe

When you see anything stated as a fact in the New York Suns editorials and news it is quite likely to be so, but some of it's correspondents say things that are open to doubt. For instance, one of them says that the New England name for doughnuts is wonders. This excites the wonder of the Boston Her aids head man, who thus deposes: We were born and raised" in New Eng land. As man and boy for forty years we have eaten doughnuts in all these States; as boy we snatched fearful joy by crumbling doughnuts into coffee weak coffee, to be sure, but 1t was warm-and we would mash the pieces down with spoon, in spite of severe parental objection; as youth and man we have eaten them in boarding houses, in the woods, at good mems feasts, just before going to bed and soon after sum- rise; we have eaten them hot and cold, with and without the little ball that sometimes covers the hole, and though some of them were indeed wonderful, we have never heard them called won ders."
 Who has? Anybody in these dig gings? There are many and good doughnuts around here, but does any body call them "wonders?" If any, body does let him rise and say so, and tell why if he can.

A naturalist has been making obser- vations on the toilets of ants of genus 'talta," and has discovered each insect goes through a cleaning process as elab- crate as that of a cat, not only per- formed by herself, but by another, who acts for the time as a lady's maid. The assistant starts by washing the face of her companion, and from there goes foyer the whole body. The attitude of the cleansed is one of intense satisfac- tton, resembling that of a dog or cat when his head is being scratched. The pleasure the creature takes in being thus combed and sponged is really en- joyable to the observer.
