- officials that are accessible either
safuse any information or profess ig-
orange of the reasons for the precau-
.;ons that have been taken, and as a
.osu,t many rumors are afioat.
Possibly the only cause is the alarm
- the dowager empress over the pre-
uo,once of revolutionary rumors.
The Chinese minister at Toxic few
dove ago telegraphed the government
yorning it against several revolution
orv students who were departing from
Ianan for China. Two packages of
dvnamite have been found in the
street. outside of the gate leading to
the palace. Apparently they were
dropped by some one afraid to carry
them. A report finding credence is
that quarrel is afoot within the pal
are between the partizans of the en-
press dowager and the emperor over
the selection of an heir to the throne,
hut it is not confirmed.
Only precautionary"
All information obtainable indicates
that the military measures at the pal
ace we're only precautionary, and were
taken because of the widely circulated
minors that there would be trouble
here Saturday. The finding of the
packages of dynamite outside the pal
ace gates, which is somewhat mysteri-
Gus. probably caused uneasiness, as
the court had been nervous since the
outrage in the Pekin railway station
on September "a of last year, when a
missile was exploded inside a private
car on the track carrying one of the
four missions ordered abroad to study
foreign political methods, killing four
persons and wounding 20 others.
The reports of trouble WITHIN the
palace can not be corroborated, but
they probably are founded on gossip,
fer which Pekin is always hotbed, or
are based on the strengthening of the
palace guards.
The city was never quieter. There
has not been the slightest sign of
feeling shown against foreigners, nor
have the foreigners here any appre-
tensions. Several parties from the
foreign legations are taking advan.
tage of the mild weather to make long
excursions into the country.
The kilograms describing the mill
tary preparations of the American gov
eminent for trouble in China have
been widely published in the Chinese
newspapers and are considered as de-
cidedly unfriendly.

Tides In the Atmosphere.

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, cor
responding to those Of the sea and pro-
duced twice daily by lunar attraction,
have been traced by M. Bouquet de la
Grye in the baromctric records of sta
lions removed from powerful local dis
turbances. The recorded observations of
Brest, St. Helena, Cape Horn, Batavia
and Singapore give positive evidence OF
regular ebb and flow according to the
moons position. The effect is slight,
but measurable, tie greatest atmos-
pheric tide at Brest being shown by u
movement Of one-quarter of an inch in
a water barometer: which is equivalent
to about one-fifticth Of an inch in the
mercury barometer. The tide seems to
bear about the same ratioeto the weight
of the atmosphere that the sea tide bears
to the depth of the ocean.

Whittier begged to borrow the book,
which was almost the first poetry he
had ever read. It was this volume of
Burns which set Whittier to making
verses himself, serving both as the in
sp1ratlon and the model of his earlier
poetic efforts. The Scottish poet, with
his homc]y pictures Of life as bare and
as hardy as that of New England then,
first revealed t" the American poet what
poetry really was and how it might be
made out Of the actual facts of his own
life
