FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1907.

A discovery has been recently made in Alaska of bed or lake of whae. is supposed to be asphaltum, or is may be mineral oil thickened from long exposure and becoming lnixed with earth. It occurs in low. marshy sec ton, few miles from Point Barrow. The natives have long known of this deposit, and tell of water fowl being caught iu the sticky substance when alighting upon it. No detailed inform- atlon could be obtained regarding the discovery or the character of the sub- stance. but there is no question about it's existence, and it will no doubt be investigated before long. Should it prove to be either of the above men, tioned minerals, it may lead to dis coverles which may become of incal- culable value to the country.

Deserts of Asia.

Just north of the Himalaya noun tain range in Chinese Turkestan lies belt of land which is watered by north flowing rivers. These. however, do not flow anywhere, but lose them selves in the sand of the desert. The worst deserts of American are mere child's play to the desert conditions in this part of Asia. In many places there were formerely. one thousand or two thousand years ago, a condition of soil and climate 60 that they could support a considerable population. There are the remains of villages and even cities, which must have had water in large quantities in places now far distant from any reliable source of supply. So dry is the coun- try that ruins of wooden houses which have been exposed to the weather for ten centuries or more have hardly the beginning of. decay.

When the San Francisco school trouble arose it was given out from Washington that an arrangement had been patched up by which Japanese laborers would be excluded from this country whilst Americans of the same class would be shut out from Japan The whole question of exclusion will come up again when the time arrives for negotiating new Americap-Jap- anese treaty says one writer. A Jap anese cabinet could not last aD hour that would consent to accept a treaty containing an exclusion cause. So strong is the sentiment on this ques- ton that the Japanese would prefer to go to war rather than submit to what they would consider a deadly national insult. Consequently, when the United States comes to negotiate Il new treaty with the Island Empire it will have to choose between allow ing free ingress of Japanese llor;les and the risk of an armed contest with
 a country that is so flushed with it's recent victories that it considers itself more than a match for the naval, mlli- tary and financial resources of the United States. In q speech hc de- livered the other day in New York, General Kuroki declared that the ob- ject of hls visit to this country is to cement the bonds of union between his native land and the United States. This is very fine talk. but 1t cannot remove the cause of disagreement be- tween the two countries SO long as the United States insists upon protect ing it's own citizens from competition with an inundatiOn of Asiatics. whose presence here would bring down fn- evitably the standard of living.

Speaking of the work of the Inter- national Peace Congress and the ef- feet of wars on countries generally one writer says that miiitarism, the theory and practice which result in converting whole populations into soldiery, and in crowding the seas with ships of war, is an evil which all thinking men can unite to censure and suppress. But let us look behind it to its cause. The great armaments of Europe grew out of the perils attend- ing great injustices. The central sim ner is Germany, which holds down Slavs on the east, Danes on the north and Frenchmen on the west by mili- tary force. The restoration Of three districts to their proper nationality would leave Germany without con- siderable enemy in the world, would enable her to reduce her navy, abolish her involuntary military service, end to relieve her people from the intoIer- able burdens of taxation, which are making them socialists. It would con- vert France and Denmark into hearty friends, and make the Triple Alliance a memory. The violent and unjust re- tention of those districts makes nec- essary an outlay, which in time would purchase the fee simple of all the land they contain ten times over. Yet net a voice is raised in the Peace Congress to suggest that this righteousness must come before peace.

BISHOP HAD READY EXCUSE.
At Least as Good as Many Made for
 Divorce Laws.

Dr. Edward Everett Hale, at the di- vorce reform congress in Washington, said of certain divorce laws: "The apologies put forward for these laws remind me of the apology that a gour- met bishop once made during Lent. The bishop happened to sit at dinner beside an irreverent young woman. He ate his oysters, and then, with fash ing eyes, heightened color and every indication of enjoyment, he fell to upon plate of rich turtle soup. The young woman, watching the bishop swallow this costly food. could not re strain sheer. I thought she said. that you lasted during Lent, bishop?' The bishop put down his spoon and allowed his face to become pensive. 'Ah, do fast in Lent he said. sub sist chiefly on fish He swallowed lump of meat worth about half a dol lar. Turtle he added, is kind of fish," s~
