misunderstanding may be explained,
consideration and discussion along
lines that do not run counter to any
immediate and specific interest may
work out methods OF applying general
principles in such a way as to prevent
future differences: progress may be
made toward agreement upon mat
tiers which are not yet ripe for com,
plete adjustment; but the moment an
attempt Is made to give such con
ference any eoercive effect, the mo
ment any number Of nations endeavor
70 use the conference for the purpose
OF compelling any other nation to do
what it deems inconsistent with its
interests, that moment the conference
fails
Such conference IS an agency OF

the peace of agreement; not enforced
agreement. but willing and cheerful
agreement So far as the nations can

Queer Positions of Hearts.

There is one curious fact that moi

finger-long. green eaterpillars of our
larger moths. Their hearts, instead
of being in front, are at the back OF
the body and extend along the entire
length of the animal. One can see
the heart distinctly through the thin
skin, says st. Nicholas, and can
watch its slow beat, which starts at
the tail and moves forward 70 the
head.
Hearts of this sort, reaching from
head to tail, are not at all uncommon

as those in what seems to MS n he
