King Carlos of Portugal signalized his visit to Paris by an act of munifi- cence which will appeal strongly to Trench men Of science. He gave to the National Museum of Natural History collection of the rarest species of fish known on the coasts of Portugal. The gift is enhanced by the fact that it rep resents a long course of study and labor by the King himself, who is an ardent oceanograpfer and icthyologist The collection in the Lisbon Museum is perhaps the most perfect in the world, and his majesty has devoted much painstaking supervision to se- cure this result.

Soberly speaking, if we go wrong or are

As a whole. we believe the press Of no
country has given more vigorous proof ~
honesty than the press of this country in
these days. And Il has thriven on the OK
ercisc. More and more the merely part-

mean this soberly. The partisan press has
