G. B. Shaw's explanation of Governor Swettenham is plausible He says that Admiral Davis was evidently unac- customed to the manner of the English official classes, Governor Swettenham, he says, would naturally regard an American admiral with certain su- perciliousness, first. as a foreigner and probably a dissenter; secondly as a member of naval branch into which the sons of professional persons enter freely, and finally as an of1cious in- truder, whose action implied that Eng land could not cope with an earth quake without assistance.

The Christian Advocate explains how it has come about that Rev. Dr. Buch- tel, Methodist preacher and (Denver) university chancellor, is governor of Colorado. "He was known to more men in Colorado than any other man probably" it says, "because he had spoken for the university in every vil- lage, hamlet and city in the State; for the past nine years he had had students out all over the State who would be supposed to be good advocates; he had one hundred and fifty Methodist min- isters behind him, some of whom would advocate him and some would not then the Republican party put the local option plank into its platform, definite ly and iatfooted, and so they would

The Swedish savant Ryberg has sug- gested that the discovery of the ele- ment betargon in the air strengthens the theory of the existence of univer- sal atmosphere extending between the planets and throughout the solar sys- tenn. This gas. it is said, was already known to exist in the sun before it's dis covery, some eight or nine years ago. that is, in the immediate surroundings of the sun, in all comets and in meteor ites-from which facts the Swedish sci enlist infers that it constitutes a com mon atmosphere for our system.
