DOOM o. l.,e4rv LONDON.
Fire About the Only Agent Which
Can Cause Its Destruction.

With hints of German invasion and
of an approaching earthquake. the
question What will be the doom of
London?" seems a not unreasonable
one. What will be the end of the
great city? What will bring about
the ruin over which Macaulays New
Zealander is to cast his moralizing
eye? Several answers may be given.
The destruction of London at the
hands Of victorious invader is pos
sible, but extremely improbable. Lon
don may be besieged, even lombard
ed; she cannot be destroyed. Flood?
This again may be dismissed as most
improbable; and one calamity only re
mains to be considered, namely-fire.
Now, London has suffered more than
once terribly from this cause, and in
1865 the. city was practically wiped
out. Every one knows this; but It is
not every one who KNOWS that the
great iconflagration vas predicted 10
years before by Lilly, the astrologer,
and by another astrologer, Nostrada-
mus, a century before that. Nostrada-
mus cast his Prediction in a French
quatrain, the Eist Of which was that

ing her married life. AS her only ex-
cuse for these horrible crimes, she
said that she thought there was too
little happiness in life and that the
children were better off dead.
There is conflict on between the
Kaiser and the authorities of the city
of Berlin, caused by the Emperor re-
fusing to sanction the monument to
the late Professor Virchow, which it
was intended to erect at the Karl
splatz.
1t was first thought that the Kaiser
did not want monument in honor of
man who had always been opposed
to him politically. But this has been
absolutely denied, and the Kaiser de-
clares that his only objection to the
monument is that it is ugly.
1t has always been the custom,
during the reign of the present Kaiser,
to submit all statues and monuments
intended for erection in Berlin to him,
and he has hitherto always sanctioned
the designs approved by the city au-
thorities. Now they make the state
ment that there is nothing in Prussian
law which makes it necessary to ask
the Kaiser's permission to put up a
statue and that the Virchow monu.
ment will go up in the Karlsplatz, no
matter whether the Kaiser likes it or
not.

Berlin, May 1S.--Today the German
Secretary of the Colonies, Privy Coun-
cillor Dernburg, leaves England for an
extensive tour through the German
possessions in Southwest Africa. He
goes from England direct to Capetown,
where he will remain until the end OF
June, and will then spend more than
two months looking into conditions
in the colonies with the special pur
pose of finding out for himself how

under the name Of Joseph Pey, for

cape to the United States.
Guttman is accused of having stolen
from certain ballet dancer, Zarina
Walpala, whom he met in Italy, jewels
valued at quarter of a million lire.
He is only thirty-five years old, and
has already twice visited America, so
it is most likely that there is chance

The Kaiser may soon have to lecture
his people on the subject of race sui
eide, for the statistics just published
by the Prussian government show that
the number of births in the German
Empire is gradually decreasing.
/. In Southern Berlin the number OF
children born during 1907 was 52,494,
against 1929 in 1876.
Although this is apparently an in.
crease, the proportion per thousand
has fallen from AZ during the latter
year to % in the former, decrease
of more than so per cent.
The number of families having one
or two children shows an increase, but
the number of families with three, four
and more children is rapidly growing
smaller. During the period between
1887 and 1907 the number of families
with three children fell from 1887 to
6,4S4; with four children, from 1920
to 4,070, and with five, from 1871 to
$500.
