while Ill the event of his going to with England
Russia might be relied upon to create what is known
as diversion" along the northern border-line of
India
Of course, the personal element plays notable
role in diplomacy. Germany's conquest of the
friendship of Russia is wholly due to Emperor
William, while the altogether predominant position
which his Government and people enjoy in Turkey
both politically and commercially must be ascribed
to the confidence and affection with which he has
managed to inspire Sultan Abdul Hamid In the
same way, it is King Edward who has brought about
the entente CordtdIe between England and France
and the alliance with Japan. Were either King or
Kaiser to disappear it is by means certain that
their successors would be in position to continue
the same course in international affairs or indeed
be willing to do We have seen how Edward
VII has reversed the foreign policy of Queen Vic
toria, and how Emperor William, after dropping his
old pilot Prince Bismarck, put the German ship of
state entirely different tack Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria
is pronounced in his aversion to the of the
QuIrnal, that his accession to the throne on the
demise of the present Emperor there will not be any
pretense of keeping UP alliance with Italy. In
word, each time that ruler dies, the conditions
of the game of diplomacy are likely to undergo
radical change
This, however, does not that the anointed
of the Lord are the only players. Sometimes they
are not even the prime movers, but subject
to influences of which the public has no knowl-
edge, swayed by advisers who keep entirely
in the background. Occasionally, too, but not
often the public takes a hand in the game and
forces the hand of its Government, disturbing the
chessboard of international poltcs-as for instance
when, in 1870, Napoleon III. was compelled by
popular sentiment to invade Germany, and in 1871
when Alexander IL, although autocrat,
impelled by similar considerations reluctantly to
engage in against Turkey.
From this 1t will be seen how numerous are the
factors in modern diplomacy; how little is really
known of its methods, of its motives, and its actual
results how constant the changes in the con-
ditiOns in the game and how important is the role of
the personal equation.

whelmng order, and by popular sympathy. Thus
at Algecras her penipotentiaries supported the
cause OF that very France against whom the Triple
Alliance primarily aimed, while her leading
statesmen, in well out of office and her most
influential newspapers, expatiate the necessity
of curbing even by means of war if necessary, the
designs of Austria upon Albania to which Italians
claim prior rights. All the money voted by the
Parliament at Rome toward the construction of
defenses is with openly acknowledged view to
war with Austria and to reconQueSt of the atter's
Italian speaking Provinces, and Emperor Francis
Joseph although nominally ally, is regarded from
one end of the Peninsula to the other the arch
enemy of Italy
Both Germany and Austria appear pretty well
to be convinced that henceforth it will be useless
to place any dependence upon Italy as an ally and
are turning toward Russia with the object of re-
vivng, in place of the virtually defunct Triple
Alliance that so-caled 4" Three Emperors Alliance"
organized between Alexander H. Francis Joseph and
old Kaiser William. The alliance with France subst-
tuted by the late Car in its stead although yet nom
naly in existence is, to all intents and purposes as
dead as the Triple Alliance, and no longer be
garded factor of any importance in the political
situation. Russia regards England her principal
adversary in Europe, well in Asia, especially
since her alliance with Japan negotiated while the
in the far Orient in progress, and that
France should have established such close and
intimate relations with Great Britain-that is to
saw with JapanS ally-is a subject of much
bitterness at st. Petersburg as the refusal of the
Partisan money market to furnish the loan which
the Muscovite Government endeavored in vain to
negotiate in France while the conflict in Manchuria
was in progress.
When William came to the throne in 1888 he
found Russia embittered foe of his Empire, and
at once set to work to regain her friendship. He
pursued this policy in the face of the most dis
COuragng rebuffs and has at length succeeded in his
object, The advantage to Germany of Muscovite
goodwill and of alliance with the Gar lies in the
fact that 1T permits the Kaiser to devote all the
troops that would otherwise be needed for the guard
of his Eastern frontier to other points In fact, it
practically doubles the effectiveness of his army,

sake of bringing, not only Belgium and the Neither
lands, but also King Leopods Congo Free State
in Africa and Hollands vast colonial possessions in
the West and East Indies, within the sphere and
under the flag of the German Empire.
1t is, however, by certain that if any
such deal is made, it will at once become known
1t may be kept secret for considerable time to
come, and then only revealed piecemeal, and by
degrees. 1t is certain that mention will be found
of it the records of the conference of Ageciras
in any public agreement which represents the labors
of the congress Treaties of this character are gen
orally made in two parts one for public consumption
and the other for private information. Thus, it is
pretty well assured fact that in addition to the duly
promulgated treaty negotiated at Portsmouth be-
of strictly confidential and financial character
concluded by the two nations 1t is equally
positive that there are secret provisions to Engands
treaties with Japan and Portugal, and to those OF
Germany, with Austria, Rurnania, and Italy.
Indeed, diplomacy, even when processing to be most
communicative, always holds something in reserve.
In addition to the many secret international agree
ments of the existence of which the people have no
suspicion, there are, as | have just pointed out,
confidential clauses to nearly every treaty clauses
not included in the official publication
Even those behind the scenes, who have access
to the secret archives, and to the confidential
ports of their respective Governments, find it diff
cult, however to keep track of the game of dlplo-
macy owing the constantly changing character of
the conditions Thus within the last three years,
the foreign policy of Great Britain has in certain
particulars been implicitly reversed To-day, thanks
in the main to the agency of King Edward, who, by
the terms of the British constitution is vested with
the control of the foreign policy of the Empire there
is not only entente cOrdaLe between England and
France but what is virtually an alliance directed
mainly against Germany the animoSity between the
latter and England being most pronounced.
Italy, on the other hand, though still bound after
a fashion, by the ties of the Triple Alliance, to
Germany and Austria, seems completely to have
abandoned them during the last two three years,

Versatility of Cattle

CATTLE furnish, otherwise, no end of articles in
- common Your toilet or laundry soap is made
from their grease; the curled hair in your chair
and the brstles in your shoe-brush from
their tails. As for the steer again, your combs
made from his horns; your toothbrush
handle and the mouth-piece of your pipe were once
part of his thigh your knife handle comes from
his shin-bone; the buttons your coat, and your
wife's hairpns from his hoofs; neat's-foot oil
represents his sinews; and the prepared food you
throw to your chickens is reduced from his blood.
Also, the pepsin you buy at the druggist is made
from pigs stomach The grease extracted from
the wool of sheep, after slaughter, converted into
potash.
From its by-products the Standard Oil Company
has won some of its greatest dividends. Formerly
one-third of the company's products was wasted.
To-day that waste is manufactured into two hundred
or more by-products. The naphtha is transformed
into various grades of gasolene for all kinds of
motors and for in the arts, thus effecting a
saving of three million five hundred thousand dollars
yearly. Numerous tar products and paraffin
are made from oil waste. Makers of vaselene and
salves draw largely upon the wastes of the oil

waste chemists extract aniline dyes in all the

lost millions in the form of scrap that believed to
be useless The factories of ST. Louis and other
cities flung away millions in the form of supposed
waste that really fine material for fertilizers
The southern cities cast millions to the winds in
the form of valuable cotton-seed. To-day all those
millions are saved, and the who have done
the saving have literally made fortunes out of
nothing.
In other words in many industries much that in
the old days thrown away utterly useless is
now being converted into thousand useful things
called by-products. Perhaps the most surprising
industry in this respect is the of reclaim
ing the garbage, or food waste, of great cities
This material is cooked in tanks or digesters, in
which process the oil is separated This in turn
is into barrels and exported to France where it
refined into forms suitable for various uses and
of it is sent back to this country in the guise of
oive-oil Strange to say, it is quite wholesome.
The solid residue from the tanks is used in fer
tilizer manufacturing
