GEN. NOGYs PROPHECY.


 It is interesting to recall what tn g distinguished military straregist, Gen. Nogy, said at the time of the siege of Port Arthur. and note how accu- rately he located the field on which the future of Europe would be fought out and determined. His words were:
 'T believe that the world will witt ness a great war, which will have all Europe for it's battle-ground, and will settle the Franco-German question and the AngIo-German rivalry. France and Germany will meet in this last decisive conflict on the Belgian plains probably near Waterloo. the only spot which will permit of the evolution of the immense armies which will face each other. At the present time the French and German frontiers are too strongly fortified for either people to force its way through. have little doubt as to the result of this. war. France will beat Germany on land. . and England will crush Germany at sea.
 sNThis war will be the last in Europe for many a day. perhaps forever; the German states will emerge from this war so exhausted and so terrified that they will have no other object than to form some sort of condition that may in the future obWate the recur- renee of any such catastrophe.''-- Boston Herald.

ITALIANS CEL LEBRATE 'sVENTI SETTEMBRE"
 44TH ANNIVERSARY OF CAPTURE OF ROME

ed by socialists and other anti-mih- tarists. In northern Italy the birth rate has been constantly decreasing. RepublicaniSn and socialism have gained ground throughout the pepin- sula,, and this year a general strike almost reached the proportions of a popular insurrection. Italian work men are well organized and their dis cipline is almost military in it's nature so that an order for a general strike is more widely obeyed that would be possible in any other country. In some cities troops have been disarm- ed and imprisoned in their barracks. The European war, with the Italian government bound by treaty to one side and popular sympathy favoring the other, added to the many difficult ties which confront one of Europe's most enlightened and democratic noparchs- Italy is on-the way-per- haps to become a republic, possib bly, to lapse into anarchy and disunion. But it is on the way.

AGE OF THE GENERALS.

What do we find? Gen. Won Elm mich. the capturer of Lege, is 66, and Gen Won KIuck. is es-the one two years and the other four years above the compulsory American retiring age Gen. Won Hausen, who has just given up the command of the Saxon army, because of real or assumed ill., ness, is 6Ss Gen. Van Heeringen is 64, Gen Von Einem 61, Gen. Won Bu- low. is also 68. and Gen. Won Moltkes upon whose shoulders rest the heay- jest burdens, is 66. Nearly all of these officers are s,campaigning in France for the second time, having been young ensigns or Heutenants in 1870 Gen. Won Hindenberg, whose success on the Russian boundary has made him famous, is 67. On the English side, Kitchener is GA, Smith Dorien 56, Sir John. French 462, and Gen Grierson, who died in France the other day, was 55; while the three French generals, Pau, Joffre and Gal Heni, are all approaching TO. Plainly among the generals of this war the Osler theory does not apply, nor the American military belief that you must have midd1e-aged men for the highest! sitions.-New York Even ing Post.

TOErBITING SEAL IS
 KILLED BY HUNTERS

Pensacola, Fla, Sept 21.-Another of the Mexican seals purchased by the city and placed in the inclosure at Bayview Park is gone. This time the seal escaped into the bayou, where hundreds of people gather each after noon for bathing. with the result that the officials asked permission of the city commissioners to kill the animal The request was granted and hunters shot it.
 The reason for the killing was that each afternoon it would come up to the bathing pavilion and persist in nibb1ing at the toes of the women and other bathers, resulting in almost a stampede among them. for it was feared the animal would decide to take a bite.
 For three afternoons the seal made it's appearance and on each occasion the bathers sought the wharf as soon as they discovered the animal.
 It was feared that the continued calls would stop all persons from go ing to the public bathing resort, so the seal was killed. It developed that instead of being one of the big bull seals, as was thought, the animal was the baby seal. Consequently there was much sorrow. as the baby was a cute little fellow and was a pet among many who strol1ed in the park.

 T regret that have not kept any record of the funerals have attend ed, Turner said. However. I am ab- so1utely safe in estimating that have attended 875 funerals a year for the last twenty-four years. That's just a little better than one a day.

AS SEEN BY NATURE LOVER
Frost and Drought Very Much Alike
in Their Effects Upon Good
Old Mother Earth.

Frost and drought are not unlike in
their results, or at least their effects.
A winter meadow, bare of snow but
frozen hard, is not very dissimilar to
the same meadow during a dry spell
after haying. Color is gone, growth
Is short, stones show like land turtles,
the soil is impenetrable, the wheel of
nature is on a dead point Only the
Indigenous, in either case, retain some
life and color.
You look at the foothole pits in the
ground, made when you rode that way
last fall or spring, as the case may
be, and wonder that the ground would
ever have been soft enough to receive
such Impressions, while that pools of
water could ever have stood upon it
seems impossible. The earth, like the
face of a frightened cowboy, is pale
to the obliteration of it's natural tan;
and, again like the cowboy, this only
departs when he draws rein at home.
Then it is good to see, even in win
ter, how the tints hasten back, and
brown skin and stubby beard assume
their natural hues; for even in win
ter there is color, whenever a spell
of mild moisture comes.-From "a
Farmers Notebook" by E. D. Phelps.

MEASURING SPEED OF LIGHT
Scientists Can Tell With Absolute Ac-
curacy Just How Fast the Rays
Can Travel.

Even in this speed-mad age we can
never hope to equal the speed of light,
which the scientists tell us is 10000
miles a second. If light could not
actually be measured no one would
believe it.
There is a delicate instrument used
in measuring light which throws a
beam of light upon a revolving disk.
There was some doubt about the fig
ures obtained in this way until it was
found that when the earth was in
the part of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
eclipses took place 16 minutes earlier
than when it was in the furthermost
part, whereas by all rules of astrono-
my they should have taken place at
the same minute each time. 1t is de-
duced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took 16 minutes to traverse the dame
ter of the earth's orbit, a distance of
about 200, 100000 miles. thus giving to
light a velocity of $4,000 miles a sec
ond which was accurately shown lat
er by other experiments.
