An English Athletic Movement.

Athletic reform is working along
widely diverse lines in these mixed-up
times. While in this country there is
a movement to make our most popular
sport approximate less closely to actual
warfare, they are doing just the Oppo-
site over i'm Great Britain. An Eng
3. Fry, says the "blot on English
games" is the absence. common to all
of them, of any distinct military value
or martial character. He therefore
proposes. with the support of Lord
Roberts. that inter-schOol and uni
versity athletics be used for solving
some of the problems of national de-
fense. His particular and leading
recommendation is that rifie-shoOting
be added to Intercollegiate contests.
There is no reason. he says. why a
university should not be as enthusiasts
tic over its shooting eight as i'm sup
port OF the football eleven or the
cricket team, or. we might add. the
baseball nine BY inaugurating such
rifle contests, Mr.. Fry believes, the
entire university and public school
proleiariat could be taught to shoot,
and that through imitation the lower
classes would be sure to take it up.
Iii this way a nation of expert
marksmen might be bred as formid-
able but on a vastly larger scale than
were the Beers of our times and the
American pioneers Of earlier genera
tiOns. If We are not mistaken there
are several rifle clubs and number Of
gun clubs in connection with Ameri-
can universities which have for a
number Of years held intercollegiate
contests, but no such general awaken
ing Of interest in the sport as Mr.. Fry
seems to expect has occurred amongst
the undergraduate body. The fact
seems to be that shooting isn't sufiici-
emily spectacular and exciting to be-
corle widely popular. And while we
have heard n great deal lately about the
desirability of games in which every
one can take part, there is n good deal
of truth in the reply made TO this by
n Western college professor that the
majority of college students don't want
to- and won't take any active mart n,
athletics. but will help support the sort
of games that is worth watching.

Secretary of State Root and the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington are
providing for the preservation of the
fisheries of the Great Lakes. an in
us have realized. Provision is made
for the appointment of a commission to
draft uniform laws and regulations for
the protection of fish and the culture
OF species which can thrive in these
inland seas. The new order of things
will be enforced by the federal authori-
ties of the United States and Canada.
thus taking control of this matter from
the jurisdiction of the states. and look
ing after it in the larger public interest.
The new regulations are TO remain i'm
force FIVE years. after which time they
max be revised. The Importance of
this agreement between the two coun-
tries is shown by the fact that the
amount of fish taken from the lakes
has steadily declined. There has been
an almost complete disappearance Of
the muskegon, reduction in the catch
of that best of all products Of the lake
waters. the whitefish, and a falling off
in catches of all sorts at the best fish
ing grounds. In order to execute the
agreement with the British government
the President will ask Congress to
enact a law canferring upon the fedora,
government authority to regulate the
Great Lake fisheries. The national
bureau of fishery reports that the
amount of capital invested in the great
lakes fisheries is little more than
$',0O0000. and the product of the fish,
cries in one year aggregated 1l3,OOO. 900
pounds. valued at $2.611439. Eight
states are interested in this industry.
Michigan borders on four lakes. New
York and Wisconsin on two, and Illi-
nois. Ohio. Indiana. Minnesota and
pennsylvania on one.

The New French President.

The recent election Of a new Presi-
dent of France made scarcely fiutter
throughout that republic. A Presi-
dent there is not chosen by the whole
people as in this country but by the
votes of the senator's and deputies who
meet in Joint assembly for the purpose.
This time, as at the last presidential
election, the choice falls upon the man
who has been president OF the Senate.
The new President, Clement Armand
Fallieres, IL a big and benevolent look
ing man OF G5 years, who wears a full
beard and who is inclined to be round
shouldered In politics he is called a
moderate Radical whatever that may
mean in France, and is said to have
given an excellent account of himself
as president of the Senate. He is
popular with the people, having risen to
his high position from humble origin,
his grandfather having been village
blacksmith, and his father a petty
court clerk. He has been in public
turn in the Chamber of Deputies and in
the cabinet of President Grevy before
he was elected to the Senate of which
the has been the presiding officer since
1899
The French presidential campaign is
a very different affair from such an oc-
casion in this country. There are no
conventions: no stump speeches; and
no mass meetings or parades or eX-
tended battle in the newspapers. Even
the men who are talked about as ia
vorites for the votes of the deputies
and senators themselves make no sign
that they desire election. 1t is re-
garded as bad taste for a man to eX-
press his wish or even willingness to
serve as President. The French carry
out with artistic thOroughness the
idea that the high Office should seek
the man. OF course, the election of Il
resdent is indirectly an election by
the people. since the deputies and sena-
tors are themselves elected by 4 pOpu-
lar ballot though their clectiOn.comes
a long time before their meeting for
the choice of a President. The Presi-
dent is elected for a term of seven
years.
Loubot. could doubtless have had a
second tern. had he desired it. The
new President stands for the same
general policy that has prevailed un-
der Loubet. He will face several inn
portant problems in the foreign rela-
tiOns of France, notably the Moroccan
and Venezuelan affairs. but in it's do
mestic affairs France was never more
peaceful and prosperous. The third
republic has now lasted 4 quarter Of
ceEt"ry. ana it seems to rest upon a
very secure foundation. The course of
permanency of the present form of
government in France seems now alb
solutely assured. since this form of
government rests upon the support of
a generation that has gradually be-
coma accustomed to it's workings.
Revelations ana political disturbances
have been very prominent in French
history. but the end of them seems to
have come at last. Long live France,
and long live the republic!

has been closed for the winter, being
in the course of finishing. The build
ing itself is nearly complete, the floors
only needing the final rubbing down
and finishing. These floors contain

been erected for $4,000 volumes which
were first thought sufficient but that
the library may be arranged properly
all the space allowed for stacks is to be
filled and more have been ordered suffi-
