Oh. 1INOlA OLA ION.
London, Aug. 5th-Long dispatches from
New York, containing bitter American com
meot regarding the abstention by England
from the forthcoming Panama Exposition at
San Francisco, have elected an authoritative
statement, which is accepted by the DAILY
TELEGRAPH, the "Standard' the daily
Mail and others, that the obstontiou has
no connection with the question of Panama
Canal Tolls, the decision not to exhibit,
having followed the Board Of Trades failure
20 discover sufficient interest, but to the
expense, based upon the distance, and the
surfeit of such Expositions. There are some
expressions of regret ut the ubsteniion and
hopes of a reconsideration, If the adi ustment
of the question of the Panama Caual Tolls
enables it.
The DAILY Telegraph lectures the Amer
can press for it's A~nglophobic tone. CUES
tions on the subject will be asked i'll the
House of Commons.
Advices from Berlin state That the Brit
ish boycott is welcomed, as it enables Ger
many to do likewise, without risking loss of
trade by not competing with England, and
a despatch from ST. Petersburg states that
Eneland's initiative strengthens Russia's in
disposition to participate, based upon the
Remuneration by the United States of the
CONNER cial treaty over the Jewish question,
and the withholding of the free admission
of wood pulp, which has been granted to
Canada.
Advices from Washington state that of
the forty nine countries invited to exhibit,
twenty-seven have accepted, including Can
ada. Eight countries have declined.

E INDIAN COTTON

Messrs, Wolstenholme and Holland, of
Liverpool, write as follows, under date june
30, with reference to the sales of West In
dian Sea Island cotton:-
Since our last report about 400 bales of
West Indian Sea Islands have been sold:
these are confined to ST. Eustatius 154d to
200-, st. Kits 190. to 21d, ST. Vlncent
21d. to 24d., with some superine lots at
BOD, and Stains at sgd. Spinners have
confined their attention to these particular
growths owing to their ~fneness.
Owing to the great strength. of Sakel-
larides Egyptian, which sells at about 100.
pr. To-, spipners find that for all their
coarser yarns they can obtain as good re-
suits from this as from the coarser and
poorer qualities of West Indian and Ameri-
can Sea Island. The result is that the
coarser kinds are very much neglected.
For the very fine yarns, Sakellarides is not
suitable, and we should therefore strongly
recommend all planters in selecting their
seed to cultivate for ~inaness. "A gricu1t~roL

Lost-one Powder MaoazIne

A day or two ago M Hennion, the
project Of police, was passing along a
corridor in the prefecture, when he no
ticed an agent doing on a bench.
What are you doing there?" asked M
Hennion, in a tone that effectually
wakened this subordinate. Guarding
the powder magazine" was the an
swer. And where is the powder maya
zine that you are guarding so Jealous
Tyr" was the projects next question.
The policeman had to confess that
he didn't know. NJ Hennion organized
a search, not with candles. one may be
sure, for the elusive magazine. 1t was
nowhere to be found Finally, the old
est inhabitant Of the prefecture sup
piled the key to the enigma The pow
der magazine was, it aoppeared, the
name given to lumber room in which
few rifles and pistols had been
stored since 1875. M. Hennion, who
has been sweeping very clean since his
arrival at the prefecture, and is not
without a sense of humor, has pre-
scented the venerable relics to the mu-

John Henry, according to. the COVER

so the young lover thought he would
escape with no greater blow than an

But, alas! Likewise woe! 1t was a

with fixings to match. All that John
Henry could do was to watch her and
suffer.

Women In Turkey.

DR.. Mary Ellis Patrick Of Boston.
president of the American College
for Girls in Constantinople, who is
now in this country, says that she
finds Turkish girls apt pupils and
very anxious to learn. As many wom-
en- are now being called to take the
places Of men who have fallen in
battle, the value of an education is
better appreciated than ever before.
Today there are several thousand
Mohammedan girls and women at
tending the university. One Of the
girls who left the school less than a
year ago is now chief editorial writer
on the Tannin. the leading Young
Turk publication. She has written
two novels dealing with the political
situation In Turkey.

LlnhtnInn and Eorast EIrea.

Lightning is held responsible for
most of the forest fires this year, and
while the number of severe local
thunderstorms has been somewhat
exceptional, this is a fresh reminder
that the exercise Of care by railroads
and campers, good in itself, can never
yield full protection. No matter how
we'll the laws are observed there
must be fires from time to time,
kindled as nature has been kindling
them for ages; origin, perhaps, of the
Prometheus legend. The remedy
must be found in the gradual and sys-
tematic application of scientific fores-
try, including fire lanes and the care
full clearing away Of brush and fallen
timber. There is need, too, of a
further extension of the patrol serv-
ice, with network Of watchtowers
from which an incipient fire can be
quickly discerned. In this state such
network is nearly complete, and
with the help of the telephone a
force of f1refighters can quickly be
dispatched to the scene. The need
less loss of valuable timber In recent
years runs far up into the millions,
but the day of such prodigal waste
is rapidly drawing to an end.

Northern LIohts Mak.a aoI.e.

German scientists are greatly inter.
ested in a discussion regarding new
phenomena revealed by the aurora
borealis, according to recent Norwe
CLAN and German observers. People
living in the northern part of Norway
maintained that they often hear
sounds accompanying the northern
lights. These sounds are described by
some as similar to the cracking OF
flames. Accordingly German and Nor
wegian scientists started out to inves
tigate the phenomena, and one OF
them, Olav Aabakken, has spent q
long time at the Hallde observatory
in Finmarken Aabakken thinks that
it is very unlikely that any sound is
to be heard from the northern lights
He maintains that the human senses
are not to be relied on, especially re
garding the phenomena Of sight He
says that the idea of sound connected
with the northern lights may result
from the fact that these lights look
like flames, and as people are accus
toned to associate the cracking
sound with flames the rather uncrit
ical observer of the blazing movements
of the aurora borealis is apt to think
that he really hears the sound Of those
fiames-

EIoped by AeropIane.


An elopement by aeroplane which
has yet some features of the old-time
elopement is reported from Mort,
France.
Two months ago a goodlooking
young airman was giving exhibition
flights at Mort A pretty governess
fell In love with him and begged him
to take her up in his aeroplane. A few
days later the airman eloped with her
in the machine, and did not descend
until he reached Issy, $50 miles away.
The girls father has now lodged a
complaint against the airman, whom
he accuses of having abducted his
daughter and detained her against her
will. The governess, when she ap-
peared before the police commissary,
said that she had eloped with the air
man of her own free will and declared
that she would be eternally grateful to
him for flying away with her. She add
ed that, as she was Of age, she was
free to do as she pleased.
The fathers complaint was dis,
missed.
