planet are much more highly developed
than the inhabitants Of the earth, than
whom it would be difficult to imagine
a less intelligent human species, mas
much as they do not know how to con-

tants of the earth, representing what
the latter will be several million years

tellectual superiority strengthens yearly
with the constantly increasing presence

Disarmament Not In Sight.

A decrease in the military or naval
establishment Of the world powers is
not to be expected now that great
war has developed new forces. We
judge the future by the past. After
the Franco-Prussian war there was a
general overhauling by all the nations,
and Europe became an armed camp.
France had been humbled and wanted
revenge, while her conqueror was de-
termined not to be caught mapping.
Japan's achievements have been mar
velous, but in the spectacle there is a
menace. If young nation by taking
thought and getting busy can rise to
such heights in day all nations must
be ready. Preparedness will now be
the universal watchword. Germany is
Of course alert. Recently Lord Bobs
warned Great Britain of her weakness
and pleaded that she get ready. France
has never ceased to remember the fall
down she made in 1870 and has been
training, equipping and remodeling.
Now that the ally she counted upon is
crippled, she will be the more alert.
Everywhere there are indications that
big ornaments will be bigger and that
the military spirit will be fostered so
that men behind the guns will not be
wanting when the hour strikes.

ITO BE CONTINUED
Strenuous Literature.

Jack Lonoon's new book, .The
Came" is said to be replete with the
brute incident" which proves so at
tractive in literature. Commenting
upon this, the critic of the London Tel
egraph, w. L. Courtney, says:
I cannot do better than quote the man
ly words of Tom Hughes: "It is no good
for Quakers or any other body of men to
uplift their voices against fighting. HUI
man nature is too strong for them, and
they do not follow their own precepts
Every soul of them is doing his own piece
Of fighting somehow or somewhere. The
world might be a better world without
fighting, for anything 1 know, but it
wouldn't be our world, and therefore I
am dead against crying peace when there
| Is no peace and isn't meant to be. I am
as sorry as any man to see folk fighting
the wrong people and the wrong things,
but I'd deal sooner see them doing that
than that they should have no fight in
| them" And so I say that 1.-THE Came"
by Jack London, is a good book and well
| worth reading, even though its hero be a
prize fighter and it's theme often consid-
cred below the dignity of literature.
The question may be raised whether
the admirers Of this class of book are
not the very ones who have no fight
In them and take it out in reading
about it. Soldiers take delight in the
domestic romance where they find life
the very opposite of what it is with
them in the field. If lovers Of realism
In books are of the spiritless kind, who
never auster up courage to face it in
life, the reading of strenuous literature
is not for them an inspiration, but a
mental dissipation.

LOndOn's Ancient Wall.

Doubt is sometimes expressed wheth-
er the foundations Of modern struc-
lures built at enormous cost will en-
dure long enough to justify the in
vestment. If properly built they will
last for thousands Of years, judging
from the discoveries made in the exca.
vations for the renovation in London.
A portion Of the wall which was built
around old London by the Romans is
now being destroyed. The part which
has been laid bare Is seven feet in
height and has thickness Of eight and
a half feet, and about fifty feet of its
length has been exposed
The Roman wall is founded on gray
ell, and at the bottom Is a course of
f1tnts and clay. Upon these are built
up two layers of stout burned tiles of
the common Roman pattern, and then
comes rough dressed masonry. The
tiles and the masonry alternate. In the
seven feet of the wallis height there
are three courses Of each, held together
by cement, which is so firm that it
blunts the tools of the workmen who
are endeavoring to destroy it. Through
out the neighborhood this wall serves
as the foundation for modern buildings.
The Offices adjoining the excavations
now complicated by the wallis pres
ence are in part supported on it.
