THE PoPE's PROPOSAL.

1t is not likely that the pope would
have offered peace proposals to the
warning governments without the as
surance that it would be held open to
discussion by some of them. Since the
former plea of the pope for peace was
rejected. we must conclude that this
is n psychological time for a renewal
of the proffer. We may go SO far to
infer that it comes at the suggestion
Of the central powers since the pope
intimates that ID solution might be
reached by the restoration of Belgium.
Serbia and Rumania, and discussion
of the disposition of Alsace- Lorraine,
Trent, Trieste and Poland.
All along Germany has been willing
to talk peace only on a basis of the
restoration of the independent nations.
What has been regarded as the stick
ing point, is the return of Alsace-
Lorraine which is now made a matter
for discussion in the pope's proposal.
No peace would be conceded by France
without the return of her lost prov
inces and, if Germany could find n
way to satisfy France in that respect
without creating n wave Of discomfort
In her own country, then it is possible
that a way to end the war would be
found.
The most marked phase of the war
this year, is the internal condition in
all Of the warning countries. There
has been a revolution in Russia. In
England recently radical labor has
created discomfort. and a like condi-
ton prevails in France. 1t is impos-
sible to get the real truth as to con-
dtions within Germany and Austria,
but there is no doubt that these are
very serious.
1t seems to us certain that the pope
must have strong reasons for bcliev-
ing that the time has come to discuss
peace or he would not have taken a
|
OF the opposing sides.
A few days ago a new papal Sec
rotary of state, Monsignor FREDERICK
Tedcschini in discussing the situation
with n Spanish correspondent made
these interesting suggestions:
only a Christian peace is desirable,
because it will be a peace of Justice.
Some people have pretended that n
Christian peace ought to be a white
peace or a peace without result: that
is, a peace bringing the world back
to the status quo ante.
This is not exact. We believe. on
the contrary. that there are rights
which justice must respect. We can
not believe, for instance, that Catho-
lie Poland will revert to the same
state as it was before the war. As
thrls,ians, we cannot approve that
Palestine should remain under the
Turkish yoke.
we believe also that every one
would be satisfied to see Alsace- Lor-
raine returned to France. We believe
finally that if the Italian provinces
now under Austrian domination would
be given to Italy. no Christian
would oppose 1t. just as no Christian
would declare himself opposed to the
'unification of Rumania in the east"
Tedeschini has but recently been
appointed and the pope's proposal fol-
lowing SO soon after the accession to
office of his new prime minister, lends
much weight to the theory that the
proposals have been under discussion
for some time and are entirely salts
factory to some of the warning ma
tons, probably Germany and Austria,

LONESOME.


Lonesome, sweetheart, did you say,
In the homeland far away,
Where the primrose bends in bliss,
10 return the wavelet's kiss?
All around you natures love,
And cloudless sky above;
Peace, contentment lowering near
Yet you say you are lonesome, dear?
All, could you but feel the pain,
Know the yearning, hopeless, vain,
That besets the homeless heart,
In the city's crowded mart,
Mid the busy noisy rush,
Longing for the twilight hush,
And the whispering evening breeze
Through the moonlit, maple trees.
Where the throng has thickest grown,
There, dear am | most alone;
Loneliness never finds the heart
From the worlds mad rush apart;
How, with gentle nature near,
Can we ever be lonely, dear?
There is in her soft caress,
No such thing as loneliness.
But to walk where thousands do,
Caring not-uncared for too
Just to be a thing apart
That is loneliness sweetheart,
Lonesome? All, you do but jest;
Nestled close to natures breast
There, amid the homeland's scenes
You do not know what lonesome means.

transit instrument is a rather diff1- cult matter in winter. The sun is at too low an altitude for making reliable observations owing to the uncertainty of the refraction at low attitudes, and besides, the sea hor- izon can not be used, being obstruct- ed with ice. Recourse must be had to measuring attitudes of certain stars with seXtant and an artificial horizon, which is merely quick silver basin into which the star is reflected. An ordinary time formula is used to calculate the hour angle of the star, from which the local sidereal time is derived, which is again turned into local mean time by a simple process.
 The most accurate method of de- termining time is to observe the me- ridian passage of certain stars through a transit instrument accu- rately adjusted in the meridian. This is the method used in observa- tories, and time Is determined as closely as l 100 second. Stars are invariably observed, since a numl CT of suitable stars will pass the meri. dian in the course of night, while the sun can only be observed on the meridian once in 24 hours. The ha- sis of all time is sidereal o: star time, and the standard is the time in which the earth makes oLe abso- lute rotation on it's axis, which :s invariable
 In the United States correct time is maintained by time signals based on observations taken at the U. S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D. c. A daily noon signal is sent by telegraph to the Western Union te- legraph Co.,, which in turn uses the observatory signal to regalute it's standard clock, from which time signals are sent by wire every hour to all parts of the country For a small sum the company will install clock which is corrected automati- cally every hour by the telegraph signal. In some sea port towns time ball in a conspicuous place is dropped exactly at noon, thus en- abling the public to regulate watches and clocks.
 Time observations are also main tained by private parties, the most notable ones being that of the Elgin Watch Go. at EIgin, H., and of the Carleton College at Northfield, Minn. J. A. w.
