NEW EUROPEAN QUESTION
DIPLOMATS MAY SETTLE.

The object, then. of the present nego-
tiations between the governments of
Stockholm, Berlin and st. Petersburg
is to assure to Sweden a standing and
a security equal to that which, the
treaty of last November bestowed
upon Norway: and the means by which
that object is to be attained is a
declaration on the part of these three
powers that they intend to respect the
status quo in the Baltic. So far as it
goes. all this is quite satisfactory, but
1t does not go very far.
In any comprehensive discussion of
the Baltic question as a whole, the
problem of the Aland Islands Is bound
to arise. They lie, it will be seen, off
the southern coast of Finland and COM
mandt the approaches to Stockholm. BY
the Treaty of Paris, to which Great
Britain and France were signstories,
Russia, to whom the Aland Islands be-
long, agreed neither to fortify thsm nor
to use them as q naval or military
base. Different opinions may be held
as to whether, in the conditions of to-
day, it would be better to reafim that
agreement or to abrogate it or to
modify it.-Sydney Brooks, in Harper's
Weekly.

WESTERN r. R. MEN ARGUE
AGAINST TWO-CENT RATE.

WASHINGTON. March 11.-W. J
Black, passenger traffic manager OF
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad system, and G. G.. Tunel,
special traffic and transportation expert
of the same road, appeared yesterday
before the House committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce to oppose
the batch of bills aimed at the reduc-
ton of passenger rates in Interstate
business to a two-cent-a-mile basis.
The effort of the representatives OF
the Atchison yesterday morning was
to indicate how uniform legislation OF
this sort, which, of course, is the only
kind that Congress could constitution
ally enact, would affect the property
of some of the roads in the less thickly
populated sections of the United States.

WRITER DISTURBED BY
THE SNORING OF SNAILS.

Here is a tale from France that
sounds like a clear case of nature
taking. A naturalist, Whose name Is
withheld. has a few pet gasterpods,
which he keeps in glass cages. Re-
Gently he was writing at his table while
his snails rested In their quarters on
the mantelpieee, when a strange, regu-
lar noise disturbed him. It was a long,
low hum, followed by a short, louder
treble note. The naturalist got up to
trace the noise.
lie found that il came undoubtedly
from the manteipiece. Could the snails
be snoring? He knocked sharply at the
glass cages. The snails woke up, the
noise ceased and thus the naturalist
made Els discovery that snails snorc.
He found on closer observation that
snails bred on vines snore loudest, pre-
sumably under Bacchic influence.

TRAINING OF ESKIMO
DOGS FOR MAIL SERVICE.

The Eskimo begins to train his dog
for sledge work before it is a month
old, says a writer in the current st.
Nicholas. One of the most interesting
features of Eskimo villages are puppies
tied to the pole of a tent. Not until a
dog bred for mail service is one year
old is it put in training for the trail.
IT begins by running ten miles with the
team, then it is dropped out. Next day
1t runs the same distance. Gradually
the distance is increased until 1t
reaches its fifteenth month of life,
when it becomes part of the regular
service.

HASHISH, THE DREAM DRUG,
A PRODUCT OF GREECE.

Consul Edward l. Nathan, of Patras,
Greece, writes about the Greek prepar-
alton and expectation of hashish: Has
hish. that strange drug which has given
our language its word 'assassin'-a man
so frenzied by the drug that he ac-
complishes MURDERS used by the Per-
slams, Turks and Egyptians in a man
ner akin to the use of opium by the
Chinese. 1t is the product of a plant
grown in large quantities in Southern
Greece.
The drug has Sthe power of inducing
sleep and producing pleasant and fan
tastic dreams. Continued use of has
hish renders its deyotees wild and reck-
less and results in a complete wreck
of their mental and physical constitu-
ton.

AIRSHIP WILL PLAY BIG
PART in FUTURE WARS.

The dirigible balloon, or airship, as it
is usally called, is now an established
success, and is sure to play an import
ant part in future wars, writes H. B..
Hersey in the March Century. The
French Government is taking the lead
in the matter, and will soon have a
whole fleet of aerial cruisers, capable of
sailing over the enemy's defenses and
dropping hundreds of pounds of dyn-
amite into their Notifications; or of
gliding quietly out at night over a
battleship, and dropping Town on her
enough dynamite to send her, a shat
tered wreck, with all on board, to the
bottom of the sea.
Germany is also making rapid strides
in this work, Count Zeppelin, working
under the patronage of the govern
ment. has built the largest and prob
ably the most scientifically planned
airship ever constructed.
