WHAT VAUDEVILLE MEANS.

Vaudeville entertainments In our
theatres have become SO popular and
SO general that some interest attaches
to the queer origin Of the term. 1t Is
a corruption of Vaux de Wire, the name
Of two picturesque valleys of Nor
mandy. 1t was originally applied to
a song with words relating to some
story of the day. These songs were
first composed by a fuller. who lived
at Wire. and having become quite popu-
lar in France. they were called by the
name of their native place, vaux de
Wire. The origin of the name was soon
lost sight of, however, and it took it's
present form, vaudeville.

GOVERNMENT ENGINEERING.

One of the annual reports which throw light
on the needs of the national government, and
which appear in abundance shortly before the
meeting Of Congress, emanates from the chief of
the engineer corps Of the army. The document
this year possesses somewhat exceptional in
terest. The present head of the corps. General
William L. Marshall, reports that the number
nf officers nov available is far too small for the
requirements Of the service. and be asks for a
considerable increase. The method he proposes
for the purpose is the assignment to temporary
or permanent duty in the corps of West Point
graduates holding commissions in the infantry
cavalry CT artillery.
Against the second feature Of General Mar
sbaIIs programme Engineering News" enters a
protest in its latest issue That periodical has

ITALY AND AUSTRIA.

which were reported a few days ago from
Rome and other cities and towns Of-Itay ap-
pear to have subsidized as quickly as they arose.
In that they resembIed the anti-Italian demon
STATIONS Of students in Vienna, from which
they presumably received their provocaton.
Between the two, however there were points
of difference as well as Of resemblance. The
Austrian outbreaks had their origin in TEN
porary irritation against Italy for her mani
fest sympathy with Montenegro and Servia
and her inclination to stand with Great Britain,
France and Russia rather than with her own
allies of the Drebund In q European confer
ence on Balkan affairs. They were superficial
ebulition for the moment, which the morrow's
developments might make a matter Of the COM
plete past
The Italian demonstrations against Austria,
however. although they, too, have apparently
subsidized. and although they were directly pro-
voked by the outbreaks ia Vienna, represented
a far deeper and mere lasting feeling which
has not been abolished by their subsistence. but
which may again break forth at any time. That
feeling dates back beyond the present generation
in its impulse 10 the days when Metternich
scornfully described Italy as nothing but a geo
graphical expression. and when the detested
"Tedesco" possessed Neneta and Lombardy and
dominated the whole peninsula. 1t is nearly
two centuries since Spain sold those two rich
provinces 10 Austria, and nearly century
since the Austrian flag was replaced above the
ruins of the Napoleonic fabric. 1t is all but
half century since Piedmont redeemed LON
