llnrria anel Liia Furniture.

In William AGorris-His Work and Tnnuence' is retold how the two friends, Burne-Jones and Morris, set ting out to keep house together in the now histnrfc rooms, IT Red Laon square, found themselves confronted with the unendurable ugHness and vuI- garity of mid Victorian furniture. Says 1fr. Cfuttou-B Brock:
 Their rooms were to be furnished, and Morris could not find in any shop a single new table or chair that he could endure. This was not mere fas- tfdiousness. To him vuIgarity in<furni- t1re was, like vu1garity of manners, the expression of wrong state of mind, and if his own furniture had been vulgar he would have felt as re- sponsible for 1t as for his own man ners. Therefore he designed furniture to please himself, making drawings that were carried out by a carpenter. Thus simply and naturally he began his business of poetic uphoIsterer.'
 From the first he was not only an artist, but one who tried to make the world what he wished it to be and, beginning with armchairs, end ed with society"

What ls the nature of the action of oil in calming waves at sea?
 It is mechanical. The philosophy of the operation is that the thin covering of oil floating on the waves prevents the wind from entering under the sur face and thereby greatly reduces the roughness of the sea, the height of the waves and the breaking of their crests. which Is particularly dangerous fea- ture.

Please inform me what Is under stood by the HMorocco affair" as often alluded to in +he daily papers.
 It relates to the division of Africa among European powers and the di- vision and policing of the ports of Mo rocco, which occurred during the Roosevelt administration.
 Various reasons were assigned for the unexpected raising of the Moroc- can question by Germany. Among these were: Alarm at the apparent iso- lat1on of Germany in European poii1 ties, at the increase of French fnfiu- ence fn North Africa and at private ar rangement between other powers, re- gardless of Germany and other eco homie rights. The conference at Alge- ciras lasted till March 31, 1906, when, after strenuous opposition and counter proposals on the part of Germany, sup ported only by Austria, against the French program, supported by Great Britain. Russia, Italy. Spain, Portugal and the United States. Belgium and Holland. an agreement on all points was reached which was virtually a victory for France.

Does a-deeIaration Of war by one country against another have fo assign . reason or the cause of the war;
 There is no set form for a decIara- ton of war, and it has even been ques- toned whether a formal declaration of any kind is necessary. An American writer on international law says: .tAn act of hostility, unless 1t be done in the urgency of self preservation or by way of reprisaI, is in itself full declara- tion of intention; amy sort of previous declaration therefore is an empty for mality, unless an enemy must be given time and opportunity to put himself in state of defense. and it Is needless to say that no one asserts such qu1ix- otism to be obligatory"
 Formal declarations of war preced- ing the beginning of hostilities were more common in ancient times and in the middle ages than in modern times. Investigation has shown that Of 11S wars between 17O0 and 1872 less than ten showed declarations of war prior to hostiIities, but hostiltfies may con sist in the capture of 3 single ship or the crossing of a frontier without the loss of a life. Some modern wars. however, have been preceded by for nal declaration, and there is no uni- formity of action in the matter. A convention of the second Hague con ference says: 'sThe contracting pow CTS recognize that hostilities between them are not to commence without a previous and unequivocal warning. which shall take the form either of a declaration of war. giving reasons. or of an ultimatum with a conditional declaration of war.''
