Desolation.

The wintry raindrops patter
Where the crowds were wont to cuet.'
And the birds convene and chatter
In the grandstand, bleak and dreaT
The grass lies brown and tangled,
And the cricket's note is heard,
Where OF old the umpire wranged
With the man who slid TO third.
oh, the ruined ancient city.
In Its mute and cold distress,
Moves the soul TO no such pity
For its gloom and loneliness;
lis the old and mournful story
OF the greatness that must fall,
That we read, midst shattered glory
Where they used to play base ban, .--

a great deal that came over the cable
in regard to the recent earthquake turns
out to have been untrue. One of the
early stories was that the straits had
been dislocated and the harbor of Mes
s;na ruined. 1t appears, however, that
shipping at the historic port has been
resumed. There seems to be no altera-
ton in the channels or the depth of the
water in front of the town, and the load.
ing of ships at the wharves is going
forward just as if the cataclysm which
threw down buildings that had stood for
centuries and cut short so many human
lives had never been.

A dispatch from Copenhagen states
that buoy which was sent adrift in
July, 1900, from Cape Bathurst on the
Arctic coast of North America east of
Alaska, 2S4 miles northeast of the mouth
of the Mackenzie river, has been picked
up on the coast of Norway, where il is
accepted as further evidence warranting
the undertaking by Capt. Roald Amund-
sen of another drift across the Arctic
sea in DIR. Nansen's Fran, from a point
on the Siberian coast near Behring
strait. 1t is believed in Norway that
the buoy. in its eight years drifting,
passed finally between the east coast
of Greenland and Spitzbergen, where the
Fran emerged after her long drift with
DIR. Nansen and his crew. But the puz-
zling fact remains, that Commander
Peary experienced contrary drift off
the coast of Grant Land. which carried
him toward the north coast of Green
land, and toward the icy waters from
which it would be possible to drift be-
tween the east coast of Greenland and
SpitZbergen. 1t is therefore possible
that the buoy went eastward from Cane
Bathurst, past the headlands of Grant
land, toward the sea east of Green
land from which ii is believed to have
emerged TO the Norwegian coast The
currents probably do not all run one way
IN the Arctic sea, and it will be inter
eSting to discover the dividing line be
tween west and east driftage in the vi
cinity of Behring strait.

The action of the Senate committee in
reporting fayorably bill to require
motor boats to carry life preservers IS
justified by the rapid multiplication of
these craft and the conditions which
have been revealed by numerous acct
dents due to disablement of the ma
chinery or to explosions of the liquid
fuel supply. Victims of accidents in
motor boats are in a bad fix when there
are no life preservers near at hand.

Criticism Of the American billboard by
Guglielmo Ferrero, the Italian historian
will not cause resentment, because he is
in accord with growing opinion when he
declares them TO be disgraceful. But
the billboard is not peculiar to America
and the eminent historian could apply
his remarks as fttingly abroad as here.
The billboard and wayside advertisement
is an offensive obtrusion that will not
be permitted when the public becomes
fully aroused to the necessity of forbid
ding fragrant advertisements.

The railroad slaughter in large cen
tiers of population is appalling in the
aggregate. For instance, the Public
Service Commission of the state of New
York reports that during 1908 444 per-
sons were killed outright and $4,000 per-
sons in iured in 6,4S1 accidents on sur
face. elevated, subway and steam rail
roads in New York city. This record
ought to recommend the abolition of
grade crossings in cities wherever it is
possible to elevate tracks or build sub
ways under them. There are conditions
in some cities which would not be toler-
ated in the country, due to architectural
distinctions that cannot be removed,
and the only way by which safety can
be cultivated is by going over or under
the rails or having the latter so over or
under the streets.

The effect of the official disclosure of
the extent to which the stealing of pub
lie lands has been carried on in the Unit
ed States is to make the Presidents up
roar regarding Senator Tillmans cor
respondence seem more certainly due to
personal hostility than to vigilance in the
interest of the American public Senator
Tillman didn't steal any lands and didn't
try to steal any. He did open negotia-
tons with view to having reserved for
relatives and his private secretary seven
manifestations of lands likely to be for
teited by corporation for non-compli-
ance with federal grant, and which
II SO forfeited, would become available
for entry and purchase at a nominal
price by early applicants. He acted dis
mgenuously when the subject was up for
action in the Senate; but it cannot be
that the President would hold dsingenu-
BUSINESS as bad as stealing.

The request of the secretary of the
State Board of immigration for an in
creased appropriation to carry on the
work of inviting settlers to the vacant
lands in the northern part of the state
is worthy of consideration by the Legis-
Iature. Good work was done in the past
by formally inviting settlers to Wiscon-
sin, and if proper steps are taken the
number of people in TIE still sparsely
settled portion of the state can be great
ly increased in the course of few years.
Every good settler is a valuable asset.

Western rowing has been given a flip
by the action of the athletic council of
the University of Wisconsin in voting
the necessary appropriation to pay the
expenses of crews to participate in the
intercollegiate boat race on the Hudson,
at POughkeepsie, in June, and in pro-
viding for a necessary increase in the
feet of rowing craft for practice work
and racing. Wisconsin is at the fore
front Of western university rowing, and
her persistency in sending crews 20

circles. Her example promises to es-
tablish rowing in the west on a basis
from which interchanges of contests may
be made between the east and west.
