the discussion is over Lansing knows
every thought and consideration in the
mind Of his caller, while the latter goes
away with the idea that he has just
had chat with an intelligent and
agreeable gentleman.
It is one Of Lansing's customs in
such conversation to make drawings
on note pad; these drawings, usu-
ally they are rough sketches and gener-
ally OF prof1les, often display real abil-
ity, but they go into the wastebasket
as fast as completed. He is also fond
OF smoking a pipe in the privacy OF his
Office. a-
Another happy faculty possessed by
Mr.. Lansing is that of getting along
well with all sorts of men.
When Mr.. Bryan resigned as mead OF
the state department Mr.. Lansing au-
tomatically became secretary OF state
ad interim. The president announced
on June % the permanent appointment
or the former counselor and thus a
man comparatively unknown before
became head of the most important
governmental department.
Mr.. Lansing was born Oct. II, 1854,
at WaLertown, N. Y, where for a time
he practiced law following his gradu-
author of Government, It's Origin.
Growth and Form In the United States"
and of numerous articles on diplomatic
subjects. In 1890 he married Miss
Eleanor Foster, daughter Of John w.
Foster, secretary of state under Grover
Cleveland. With Mrs. Lansing he now
resides at Mr.. Fosters home in Wash
fngton.
In 1892 he was appointed associate
counsel for the United States in the
fur seal arbitration, which was con-
Quoted in Paris in the following year.
During 1891 and 1895 he was counsel
for the Chinese and Mexican legations
in Washington. In 1896 and 1897 he
represented the United States govern-
ment. az the sfttings OF the Boring sea
claims commission held at Victoria,
3. c., Montreal and Halifax.
Between 1897 and 1914 he was en-

trawlers work, connected to one an

them. If luck be with them the chains
which hold the explosive globes just
below the surface, and which are an

by the sweeping wire and the mine is
