Grudge Against Columbus.

The late Bishop McCabe related the
following story about an incident in
which he participated:
"Once upon a time was in a rail
road accident. It was one of the only
two / have ever experienced, and l
have travelled more than 100000 miles
on trains and steamers. A broken
wheel threw the train off the track.
Behind us as we left the car came a
noble-looking English woman with her
husband by her side. She was scold-
ing him well for starting on their
journey on Friday.
"I told you, James, she said, that
something would happen if we should
start on Friday
Madam said |, do you know that
Columbus set sail to discover Ameri.

"She looked at me with indignation
and said:

Atmospheric Jurisdiction.

Blackstone tersely says that land
hath in its legal significance an inde-
finite extent upward as well as down
ward. The title to the landholder ex-
tends to the center of the earth and
to the zenith. The sovereignty of
nation is similarly extended, and it ap-
pears that the assertion of national
jurisdiction over the upper regions is
becoming a matter of some import
ance in view of the recent develop
ment of aerial navigation. The Meth
erlands parliament has been consid
ering curious bill, which, if passed
will forbid any airship from landing on
the territory of the Low Countries
under heavy penalty. An amusing
feature of the bill is the provision that
any airship maneuvering over Hol-
land must instantly comply with the
signals made to it from below and
come down in order that the pilot may
be punished. If the trespassing aerial
navigators are imprudent enough to
descend somewhere else in the coun-
ktry, the sentence will be greatly in

Copper Business In Japan.

Japan is the largest copper pro-
ducing country of the Far East, but
as yet her output (19O5) is only one
fifteenth of the total production of the
world. The output rose from 29,S99
tons in 1899 to $4,000 tons in 1905.
Copper mining is at present one of
Japan's weak points, the operations
being conducted without method. Her
home consumption is about 1000 a
