London, Eng, May 10. In the
House of Commons, last evening,
Mr. Henry Vivian, labor member from
Birkenhead called attention to the
public expenditures. He submitted a
resolution declaring that it was the
opinion Of the House that the growth
OF the expenditure for armaments was
excessive, calling upon the govern
ment to take drastic steps to reduce
the drain on the national income, and
TO that end to press the inclusion of
the question of the reduction of arma.
menis by international agreement in
the agenda of the forthcoming Hague
conference.
Mr.. Bellairs moved an amendment
10 substitute for the last part of Mr..
Nivian's resolution the following
But the House relies upon the gov
ernment TO maintain British naval
supremacy, and is of the opinion that
it is inadyisable for the government, to
initiate a discussion concerning the
armaments which foreign Powers deem
necessary for the defence Of their terri
tories. +"
In speaking to his motion Mr.. Bel
lairs said his hope of stopping the
present mad race was an Anglo Ameri-
can alliance.
Sir Edward Grey, Foreign Secretary,
speaking on behalf Of the government,
said he welcomed Mr.. Vivian 3 resolu-
tion. He hoped it would be taken by
other countries as an invitation from
the House of Commons to respond to
the latter's feeling in favor of reduc-
ing armaments. This feeling he added,
was strong, not only in Great Britain,
but in other countries where the
naval and military expenditure was
burdensome. When The Hague Con-
ference met it could do no greater SER
vice to the world than to make the
conditions of peace less expensive.
There were certain offsets to the
horrors OF war, he said, but there was
nothing TO offset the expenditure for
war which remained a dead weight.
lowering national life and the stand
ard of cOuntry's vitality long after
the excitement and passion of conflict
we're over Indeed m a sense that
depression Of vitality was perpetual
in Europe, owing to the enormous ex-
penditure for armies and navies, al
though peace was not broken. The
nations were all waiting for each
other TO take the first step in reducing.
Somebody must do it some day.
Sir Edward declared he could not ac-
cept Mr.. Bellairs' amendment, because
10 would preclude Great Britain from
taking Nany initiative at The Hague
Conference in the direction of bringing
about a reduction in armaments. He
did not say that Great Britain would
take such initiative. Perhaps some
other Power was already contemplat-
ing it, but Great Britain must not be
precluded. The government would do
all in it's power to encourage such a
movement in the most practical form.
Mr.. Bellairs withdrew his amend
ment, and Mr.. Vivian's resolution
was agreed to with cheers without a
division being taken.

MANS WEAKER HALF.
One Side OF Body Always Stronger Than
the other.

One Side OF Body Always Stronger Than
the other.
The popular belief is that the left side
is weaker than the right, and, as in all
popular beliefs, there is much truth in
this. In most cases, says the Grand
Magazine, the right arm is decidedly
stronger than the left, the bones are
larger and the muscles more vigorous.
When we come to consider the lower
limbs, however, we find a precisely oppo-
site state Of affairs; the left leg is stronger
than the right in the great majority
of cases. This want of symmetry is
noticeable all through the body. Nine
times out of 10 we see better with one
eye than the other, and hear better with
the left than with the right ear, or vice
versa.
Not only so, an injury to the body--a
burn or a cut, for instance causes more
pain on one side than il would were it in
flicted on the other. Even diseases attack
one side on their FIRST onset in preference
to the other Eczema, varicose veins,
seiatica. and even tuberculosis, begin, in
variably, to manifest themselves on our
weaker side. A blistering plaster, too,
will provoke an eruption only if applied
70 the right side IN certain individuals IN
Others, only if applied to the left side
The simplest way. apparently. Of dis
covering which is our weaker side is 70
observe which side VIC lie upon by prefer
cnce when in bed, as il is certain that We
will instinctiyely adopt the attitude
which is the most agreeable, or, rather
which causes the least inconv enience in
other words, we viii lie upon the side tho
muscles Of which, being more vigorous,
arc less sensible TO ;he pressure upon
them Of the weight Of the body.
Statistics and observation 90 to prove
that in about throo Gases out Of four It
is the left side which Is the weaker thus
giving reason 10 the popular dictum
Culously enough, however, pneumonia, 1t
has been noticed, unlike most diseases
usually attacks at first the right-that is
to say, the stronger side of the body.

COAL STORED UNDER SEA
British Admiralty Adopts New Way Ia
Store Fuel.

British Admiralty Adopts New Way to
Store Fuel.
Important experiments, says the
London Chronicle, are being carried
out by the naval authorities at Ports
mouth dockyard to ascertain to what
extent the steaming properties of the
Welsh coal used in the British Navy
are improved boy storage in the sea.
Eighteen months ago iron crates, each
containing two tons Of coal, were sunk
in the big basin, and at the same time
similar quantity of coal was care
fully stored in the open air at the
coaling point and sheltered from the
weather beneath tarpaulins At inter
walls Of six months two ton samples
from each storage have been taken out
and carefully burned, and the results
of the experiments have shown con
clusively that by submarine storage of
coal its calorific value steadily in
creases, while by storage in the open
air a decided decrease is shown.
At the naval coaling stations in the
tropics this decrease in calorifio value
is very great, the SUMS heat drawing
all the light, volatile oils out Of the
coal. The Admiralty, having satisfied
themselves OF the physical and finan-
clal advantages Of the storage of coal
in the sea, have now directed that ex-
periments be made TO ascertain its
practicahility on a large scale. The
difficulty is that the submerged coal
has to be dried before use, to remove
the superficial moisture, which other
wise in tine close confines of a war
ships bunker would soon set up spon-
taneous combustion. The only method
of drying so far attempted is 10y spread
ing the coal on iron trays in the open
air, a process satisfactory enough for
experimental purposes, but not feasible
for quantities that amount to thou
sands of tons.

FREAKS OF FORTUNE.
Instances in which Wealth was Quickly
Made and Lost.

Auhthnoea IN W hleh wealth. was quickly
Made and Lost.
Nothing in real life is more grim
than the way in which Fortune,
sought or unsought, will suddenly
smile upon an individual, and then
with equal suddenness withdraw her
fayors. Such cases. of course, are to
to be seen by scores at gambling re-
sorts like Monte Carlo. Quite recently
young Austrian officer won e23, 600
at the table in five days and lost every
penny OF it on the sixth.
Tho vicissitudes iof fortune we're
never moro vividly illustrated, says
London Answers, than by the evidence
given recently in a bankruptcy case
IN the Sydney Court.
The bankrupt, a mining engineer,
had won and lost no fewer than six
fortuGes in his lifetime Once he made
$1,000 in a single week by buying a
mine and selling 10 again. So soon as
he was paid tine money he went to
Wyoming and invested it, and some
three thousand besides, in purchasing
an interest in another-a copper
mine Before night came the news
that the copper lode had suddenly
"pinched out. - The investors were
beggared.
James Addison Reavis spent more
than 20 years in building up ficti-
tious claim to -, 500, 600 acres of land
in Mexico and Arizona. This enor-
nous territory which is, roughly speak
ing, 10 times the size of Devonshire,
was originally grantedto Don Miguel,
a grandee OF his court, by Philip
V of Spain, and still belongs to his
heir, II one can be found.
Reavis invented one in the shape of
a beautiful Mexican girl. There is no
space here 20 detail the ingenious
forgeries of birth and marriage certifi-
Gates, the false miniatures and other
evidence which this brilliant swindler
prepared in order to bolster up the
claims Of the girl.
A verdict was given for the girl,
who was by this time Reavis' wife.
Reavis was turned to receive the con-
gratulations Of his friends on his enor-
nous Inheritance when a telegram
was handed in. 10 contained the news
that a second examination had proved
that the original deed of gift TO Don
Miguel was a forgery. The verdict
was revoked, Reavis was tried and
sent TO prison for long term.
Macmillan Hershal, wealthy
miner, was found one day in his
wretched room dying and carried TO a
hospital. At once he asked that his
adopted daughter might be sent for.
On her arrival he told her that he had
left her all his wealth-over e300, 600.
Breath was failing him fast but after
short pause he began TO speak again
IN low, broken whispers. Suddenly
he fell back and expired. He had not
revealed the secret Of where his bonds
or cash We're hidden. Search proved
useless and the poor girl, wealthy for
minute, went back TO work for 10
shillings a week.
