IN relations and functions and mechanism or

instead of Offering dry didactic dissertations
on bones. arteries, muscles. etc-so repu-
sive generally to the youthful mind-he would
in the form of a story convey in chaste,
amusing and instructive style what boys and

cesSful has he been in this alliance of Science

New Government Has Been Establish.
cd In Paraguay.

Buenos Ayres, July 5-Advices re-
ceived here today state that the rev.
olutionists have been victorious in
Paraguay, and that new .dovern-
ment has hacn established. These
advices have been confirmed by a
1ispatch received by the minister OF
foreign affairs from the Argentine le-
cation, at Asuncion, OFFICIALLY notify
ing the minister that the revolution
ary party had succeeded in over
throwing the Paraguayan Govern
ment, and that several of the Para
yuayan officers of State had taken ref
uage In the legation. The revolu-
tsonists have appointed as President
DR.. Emaliano Gonzales Navefro. He
held the Office of Vice President inthe
Government which has just been
ousted.
Unofficial dispatches state that the
new cabinet includes Manul Gondra,
the Paraguayan minister to Brazil
Eusebio Ayala, DR.. Alviro lara, DR..
Adoifo Rigulae and DR.. Manuel
Franco. These represent combina-
tion OF the two most powerful par
ties in Paraguay, the Liberal and COL
orado. and 1t is believed that their
appointment will assure early peace
to the country. x
