Summer Visitors and Religion.

Prof. Anthony thinks that the COM
ing Of summer tourists 10 Maine is hav-
ing bad effect upon the religious life
OF the people of the state. According
tC his idea they teach our people to
lessen Their interest III the churches
and 10 lose th"ir respect for religious
things. If there has been loss in
this particular i'll Maine il is to be
found in reasons other than the influ-
eEcc OF the summer visitors. The re-
ligiouS denominations seeking for
those reasons will not have far to look.
We do not mean to criticiSe the effort
OF the church, or to lessen the impor-
tGnce of the matters which they seek
TO impress upon the public. but it is a
tact that in many cases the vital parts
of the religion which they profess are
not taught or practiced by the churches,
add when this is the case the rest,
change and recuperatiOn possible of q
Sunday to the man tired from a week
Of work. tied down TO a routine for six
days, offers greater benefit to the indi-
vidual than the preaching which he
will hear if he attends church. And
the individual is not to be blamed for
seeking that which appears to do him
the most good. While we must re-
srect all that is good in the church,
acknowledging that there is much
that is good, we feel that the lack of
appreciation of that good. so far as it
exists among our people, can be traced
to a lack in the churches themselves in
the presentation of Truth TO the
churchgUers.

In retaliation for Hungary's alleged
recalcitrancy he has refused to name
one for the Hungarian capital. Buda-
Pesth, thus leaving the nation without
a responsible government of its own.
Recently he replied to Hungarian
delegation that he would name a cabi-
net. but refused to consider the re-
forms demanded. This makes the
Hungarians bitter against him. The
dual kingdom has been held together
thus far by the belief of the continental
nations that the peace Of Europe de-
mands it. But times are changing in
these latter days, and Hungary. like
Norway, may once more resume her
autonomy, so long lost.

Another dual Monarchy" Crambline

For some time Europe has had two
so-called dual monarChies,' Norway
Sweden and Austro-Hungary. In each
case there was but one ruler for two
kingdoms. or. III other words, one head
for Two bodies. 1t has been an odd
spectacle and there have been many
reasons to believe that it lacked the
elements Of permanency. Within a
few months. Norway has put an end to
its alliance with sweden and has es-
tablished itself quite firmly as an indie
pendent nation. The separation was
accomplished peacefully and i'll way
that speaks volumes for the good sense
Scandinavian peninsular. Now Hun
gary is doing it's best to follow the ex-
ample of Norway, and many think that
its attempt will be equally as success
full. 1t Is possible, however. that the
result may not be accomplished so

Reasoning Of Bees.

Honcycolnb shows how economy of
room. building materials and mathe-
matical theories may coincide. and
shows also that the bees have taken
advantage of the fact. Some of the
savants have asserted that the rec
tangle or the equilatcral triangle
would have been quite as efficient as
working plans for constructing cells
for storing honey. But probably the
bees. originally. made their cells to fit
their brood. and would not thus build
cell which would surround larva
with untitled corners. The hexagonal
cell vas better fitted for their needs.
So they developed it.

The Anglo-Japanese Alliance.

In the discussion of the treaty of
peace between Japan and Russia rela-
lively little attention has been paid to
the treaty of alliance which Japan and
England have just drawn UP. and vet
this latter document is of vast i'm
portance. The text of the treaty as
first given out hardly reveals the full
significance Of the document. but
political students are beginning to un-
derstand 1t and comment upon it. The
friendship of England and Japan is
nothing new, but this alliance makes
them literally one in all eastern mat
tiers. AS Washington correspondent
points out, it fixes the status of both
nations in India and the Far East,
guaranteeing the preservation of the
boundary Of India to England and com
plotting the cession Of Korea to Japan.
Germany's cherished dream Of acquir-
ing the Chinese province of Shantuhs
and thus securing a permanent East
ern base and land of great trade ana
strategic importance" ShantuhS Is
the peninsula extending into the fei-
low sea directly opposite Port Arthur
and practically commanding the Bay
Of Korea and the Gulf of Pechili in
which almost all of the shipping for
Manchuria and upper China is done.
Germany is already possessed of kiao-
Chau. bat this small but excellent har-
Dor is scarcely enough for the land
ambitious kaiser.
DESPITE it's brave assurances. Eng
land has always been nervous about In
dia For more than n decade Russia
has been casting envious eyes in the
direction of the Persian gulf. which
would give that great country south
ern outlet as we'll as an important
naval and commercial base. Besides
this. Russia has almost continuously
pressed India on the northwest frontier
in pursuance of its long-established
policy of aggression foot by foot upon
all sides. BY the provisions of the new
treaty Japan is required to assist Eng
land in resisting Russian advancement.
This secures TO England greatly needed
help in its Indian policy. and will place
those immense colonies more firmly I'M
der British domination than they have
ever been before.
IN return for India, Japan is given
Korea, as Russia is now bound TO keep
hands off. and practically only Germany
is to be considered in the occupation Oh
the Hermit Kingdom" by the
Japanese. What this means to Japan
can best be realized by a comparison
of area. The "mainland" of Japan
commonly called Nippon, contains IT,
400 square miles, and the total area OF
tn. Japanese empire is 1884 square
miles. or about the size of California.
Korea has an area of about SoWo
square miles, or about the same as
Kansas. 1t will thus be seen that
Japan is increasing it's territory by
ABOUT 80 per cent. and at the same time
gaming a permanent fOothold upon the
Asiatic continent, which means that
there is now practically no limit to its
territorial possibilities under the pro-
lection and cooperation of England.
