The Sunday Schools.

| OF all the many conventions that are
| held this summer, there will be none
more interesting and significant than al
Zurich, Switzerland, early in July. 1t is
the triennial convention of the Worlds
! Sunday School union, and more than
| 1000 American delegates will be in at.
tendance. They are sailing by the ship
load from this and other ports, and
they are coming from scores of mission
fields where America is represented
The figures which tell the strength and
growth of this worldwide organization
are fairly staggering. When the last
convention was held, at Washington
three years ago, the total enrolment
was 2S,000,000, representing 1876 coun-
tries and groups of islands throughout
the world. In the three-year period be-
fore that the increase in membership
had been 100000, and it is certain
that the Zurich convention next month
will find that the 30,000,000 mark has
been passed.
The outlook of the wol,l cannot be
altogether gloomy from religious
point of view, when there are 3o,O00,O00
children and young people enrolled in the
Sunday schools that make up this inter
UNCONVENTIONAL union. The organiza-
tion was founded in England more than
n century ago, but from the first the
United States has led in membership,
and now contributes more than 10000
600 OF the 100000 members. The pres
ident is Philadelphia man, DR.. George

SAW BEAUTY IN FROG SONGS
Their Voices, In Concert, Impressed the Great Naturalist, John Muir,
 to Comment.

The love songs of the frogs seemed hardly less wonderful than those of the birds their musical notes varying from the sweet. tranquil, soothing, peeping and purring of the hylas to the awfully deep. low bass. blunt bel lowings of the bull frogs Some of the smaller species have wonderfully clear. sharp voices. and told us their good Bible names in musical tones about as plainly as the whippoorwill. Isaac, Isaac; Yacob. Yacob; Israel, Israel: shouted in sharp, ringing. far reaching tones, as if they had all been to school and severely drilled in elo- cution. In the still, warm, evenings, big, bunchy bull frogs beloved. Drunk, Drunk! Drunk Jug-o-rum. Jug-o'-rum," and early in the spring countless thousands of the commonest species, up to the throat in cold wa ter. sang in concert, making mass of music. such as 1t was. loud enough to be heard at distance of more than half a mile.
 Far, far apart from this loud marsh music is that of the manly species of hylas. sort of soothing, immortal filling the air like light--Johp Muir, tp the Atlantic

ALLIES PRESUME WAR.
Promptly Begin Attack on Adrianople
 and Tcbataldja Defenses.

Constantinople.-It is officially an. nouneed that the allies reopened the war punctually at o'clock D m., at tacking both Adrianople and the Tcha- taldia lines. The bombardment of Adrianople was renewed but the oper- .ations at Tchatald5a, were declared to be unimportant.
 A non-official report says that the village of Tchataldja is burning and the Bulgarians retreating, obviously trying to draw out the Turkish pur- suit The foreign Consuls at Adrian ,ople telegraphed to their Ambassadors here, urging them to arrange with the besiegers to have a section of the city reserved for foreign residents and not to be bombarded. Otherwise the for ,eigners are to be allowed a safe con- duct through the lines of the besieg- CTS. It is stated that the foreigners number 120.

INCOME TAX
 IS RATIFIED
Measure Becomes Sixteenth Amendment to Constitution
RAISES s100.OOO,0O0 A YEAR
Final Action by Congress Putting Measure in Effect Will Be Taken at Extra Session-First Amend
 ment in Forty-three Years.

Washington. - There was great re joicing in Congress when announce ment was made that the income tax amendment to the Constitution had been ratified by thTee-fourths of the States. It immediately became self evident that enormous revenues, esti- mated all the way from s60.00). .000 to $100, ,000,00 year, could now be ob- tained by leyying a tax on incomes thus offsetting to that extent reduc- tions in duties covered by proposed tariff revision.
 The honor of completing the ratii- cation is practically conceded to Dela- ware, which put the amendment through barely ahead of Wyoming. Delaware's vote was said to have been completed at 10.55 a. m. Eastern time. .and Wyomipg's at 10.45. Mountain time. New Mexico, too, endorsed the tax, but later in the day New Jersey had been counted on to do so, but de. layed.
 It is not proposed to attempt income tax legislation at this session of Con- gross. It will be brought forward in connection with downward revision of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff act.
 It has been forty-three years since an amendment was adopted to the Constitution.
 The States which rejected the meas ure are Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah.
