TripOli in American History.
Just a century ago the United States
started series of wars with
Tripoli and the adjacent Barbery states
and had some interesting experiences.
The piratical rulers of that region thrived
nightly on tribute levied on trading mer-
chantmen. So great was the fear spread
abroad by the Mediterranean freebooters
that European powers contributed a mil
lion year to plactte the gang, and the
United States Clipped in In 1901 the de-
mands of the bashaw OF Tripol became
so exorbitant that President Jefferson
determined to abolish the practice. A
squadron under Commodore Dale made a
few demonstrations along the coast and
cooled the ardor of the bashaw for time.
War in earnest was declared two years
later and Commodore Bainbridge went to
the front to meet disaster The frigate
Philadelphia which cambridge COM
manded went on a rock in the harbor OF
Tripoli and the commander and crew
were captured, held prisoners for a year
and ransomed for $4,000 A few months
after the disaster Commodore Stephen
Decatur sailed into the harbor in the
little ketch Intrepid, and, under the fire
of the forts on shore, burned the Phila-
delphia, an exploit pronounced by Ad-
miral Lord Nelson of England the most
daring of the age" In the second war,
ten years later, the American fleet unde-
Commodore Decatur swept the entire
Barbery coast, humbled bashaws right
and left, recovering much of the coin
formerly poured into their Golfers, and

September's death roll in the old world
carries the names OF four men OF inter-

Irishman in Chinese gsrb. devoted fifty
years of his life to the service of Great
Britain in China. He organized the
Chinese customs service, managed II for
forty-five years, and rendered invaluable
service to the empire and TO the trading

worId-wide Drouth.

| Worldwide DrOuth.
The dry belt of 1911 encircles the 81. e.
With the exception of strips of land con-
tiguous to oceans and inland lakes, the
summer drouth experienced in the United
States has been duplicated arourA the
world. Both drouth and heat have made
records outrunning the memories of the
oldest inhabitants. The intense heat of
midsummer extended into September in
Europe. greatly increasing infant NOR
tality and prolonging distress among
adults. In parts of Great Britain the
soil is baked hard enough to turn a plow-
share Navigable rivers in Europe In
many instances are lower than they have
been known for a century. Water COM
munication between Berlin and the Baltic
is threatened. The level of the Rhine is
so low between Caub and Baohrach
that the Seven Virgins, ordinarily little to
be feared, have thrust their heads above
water, and for the first time in q century
the Weinstein is visible. Most of the
Alps have been stripped OF their white
caps and many glaciers have been dis
solved. Swiss streams having their
source in the mountains are running full,
while others are practically dry. Like
conditions prevail in Russia, India and
China, and the floods of the latter empire
are largely due to the effect of excessive
and continuous heat on mountain SHOWS.
In all sections the major crops have been
seriously damaged. causing widespread
rise in the price OF food and consequent
distress. The abnormal weather oondi-
lions are in soma quarters believed to be
responsible tor the discomfort and turbu.
