This was defeated after a bitter fight
by an adverse majority of thirty
votes.
Gladstone's ministry was defeated
became prime minister for the fourth
time in 1892 he brought in his Sec
ond home rule bill and carried it
through the commons by majority
of thirty-four votes. The bill was
defeated in the house of lords by an
overwhelming vote of over ten to one.
1t was dead for the time being but
the unionist party, with an unusually
large majority in parliament under
Salisbury and Balfour, followed a pol
icy of economic reform in Ireland
which lessened discomfort and finally
eliminated in the land purchase act
of 1908. According to this act, the
British government buys the land in
Ireland and sells it to the peasants
on terms of gradual and easy pay
ment. Since then Ireland has enjoy
ed a prosperity that never before was
known. but the demand for home rule
has not slackened. 1t reached new
point of success in 1911, when the
balance of power again came into the
hands of the Irish nationalists through
the exact equality in numbers be-
tween the liberal and unionist men,
bers Of parliament as the result or
the election of that year. Under the
leadership of John Redmond the agl-
tation was carried to such an extent
that British politics was dominated
by the issue.
The opposition Of the Protestant
unionist party in the province or
Ulster in the north OF Ireland be-

came very strong at this time under
the vigorous lead of Sir Edward Car
son. These Ulsterites as strongly OBJ
jected to the idea of being governed
by an Irish parliament in Dublin as
the nationalists have objected to
the rule of the parliament in London,
Civil war in Ireland between these
two parties was threatening when
the great European war broke out.
Germany evidently expected that an
Irish insurrection would follow the
beginning of hostilities on the con-
tinent. At that very moment home
rule bill had passed the commons,
and shortly would have been placed
upon the statute book, but by COM
mon consent of the British and Irish
leaders the whole matter was set
aside until the end of the war.
This was the status of affairs when
Sir Roger Easement and his mad Sim
Fein colleague in Dublin precipitated
their insane revolution Immediate
ly Sir Edward Carson and John Red
mond joined hands and supported the
forces of law and order in putting
down the insurrection. The people
of Ireland were evidently not at all
in sympathy with the movement, and
it promptly collapsed under vigorous
measures of repression. At first APP
pearance it seemed as though the
cause of home rule had received a
deadly blow from the hands of its
most ardent advocates. This may be
the result, but a more likely one may
come from the entirely new spirit
of unity and patriotism which has
suddenly developed among the irish
people. Report has it that at the
same time that fighting was going
on in the streets of Dublin the Irish
soldiers in the trenches in Flanders
were heroically repulsing an attack by
their German enemies.-New York

Status of Irish Home Rule.

The demand for home rule for Ire
land began in the year 1884, when
Daniel O'Connell made motion in
the house of commons to repeal the
Irish act of union of 1900. That act,
which is still in force, provided for
complete legislative union between
Great Britain and ireland, and for
the administrative union of the
islands as far as possible O'Con-
nell's motion received few votes and
was rejected at once. Another Irish
man, Isaac Butt, was the real found
er of the home rule or nationalist
part vas it exists today. He was elect
ed a member of parliament in 1871,
but his leadership was too conser-
vative to suit the will of the Irish
people, and in 1879 he was succeeded
by Charles Stewart Parnell. An
active and vigorous policy at once
was initiated by Parnell which proved
to be very effective. This new pol
icy was the organization of the home
rule advocates into a third political
party which was entirely independent
of the liberal and conservative or
unionist parties, and was designed
to hold the balance of power between
them. 1t has been successful since
its foundation and has forced the
various cabinets which governed
England during that time to con-
slider Irish home rule, whether they
wished to or not, by threatening de-
lay or defeat of all other measures
of legislation. The result was that

LAKES SWALLOWED BY SAND
Valleys Of Northwestern Nevada Have
In the Past Absorbed Immense
Volumes Of Water.

The large prehistoric lake which
flooded q number of the valleys Of
northwestern Nevada at very recent
geologic date. but has now passed
away. was named Lake Lahontan. in
honor of Baron La Hontan. one Of
the early explorers Of the headwaters
Of the Mississippi. The lake covered
approximately $500 square miles at its
greatest expansion. and in its deepest
part, the present site of Pyramid lake.
1t was at least $50 feet deep-that is.
its surface stood approximately 500
feet above the present water surface
of Pyramid lake. The ancient lake
had no outlet except the one that led
straight up, its waters being dissipat-
ed entirely by evaporation. A large
area a few miles north Of Winnemuc-
ca is covered with sand-dunes formed
since the disappearance of Lake La
hontan. The dunes are fully seventy
five feet thick. and their sleeper slopes

the cards were marked with a red

were required to describe them falsely.
Each student was watched carefully
by his fellows. who. ignorant Of the
nature of the card. tried to Judge from
his manner whether he was telling the
truth or not The watchers were I'M

ress has necessitated a number of
changes in the roads in the southern
part OF Little Humboldt valley during
recent years. In some places in this
region the telegraph poles have been
buried so deeply that they have had to
be spliced in order to keep the wires
above the crests of the dunes. The
sand Is of light creamy-yellow color
and forms beautifully curved ridges
and waves that are covered with a
network OF wind ripples. and many of
these ridges are marked in the most
curious manner by the footprints OF
animals. which form strange hero
glyphics that are sometimes difficult
to translate.
