1914. Bismarcks decisive
triumph over France disturbed the bal
ance of power, led to the subsequent
alliance among England, France and
Russia, and stimulated in Germany an
overweening consciousness of military
superiority and in France fierce thirst
for revenge.
In analyzing the reactions of the
British statesmen and the British peo-
pie to the Franco-Prussian War Mrs.
Raymond handles a neglected minor
phase Of the conflict with a competent
scholarship that leaves little to be de-
sired Her research work has evident
ly been thorough and exhaustive. It
seems that almost every obscure jour-
nal published in the British Isles has
been levied on for contributions to the
authors we'll balanced symposium of
opinion.
+ At first England's public sympathy
generally went out to Germany. Bis
marck's cunning strategy had placed
France in the position Of wanton ag
gressor, and the bittersess and sus-
picion born of the Napoleonic period
were not altogether dead. However,
as Mrs. Raymond shows, there was a
decided shift of sentiment during the
progress of hostilities. Contributory
causes of this shift were the ruthless
ness Of the German military methods
and Russia's Reputation of the obliga-
tion imposed upon her after the Cri-
mean War not to maintain fleets and
arsenals on the Black Sea. 1t was felt
that this last step would not have been
taken without Bismarck's approbation
The working classes and the Irish
were outspokenly sympathetic with
France throughout the war, and con-
demnation of the annexation of AL
sace-Lorraine was almost universal,
except from the grabbed and fanatical
pro-Ierman, Carlyle. A1ber the war
wave of apprehension about the uses
to which Germany might put her new
military power swept over the country
Mrs. Raymond's book is such mas
terpiece in it's field that it should be
generally read as supplement to the
standard histories of the Franco-P Prus-
sian War itself.

Federal Law Asked
 To Protect Elk Herds

Washington, June 22.-As a result of the mild winter experienced in many parts of the country. Uncle Sam's famous elk herd, which was reduced from about 10000 to 5000 during the winter before, probably will stage a strong rally, the field workers of the biological survey have reported to the Department of Agri- culture.
 During the previous winter the food shortage was such that the herd in the district around Jackson Hole, Gros Ventre and Buffalo Fork val leys was simply starved and frozen out.
 The contrary prevailed last Win ter. With plenty of forage, and cas- fly accessible because of lack of any heavy snow, the herd pulled through and has a most favorable outlook.
 The agents point to the need of suitable Governme ent-owned winter ranges, stating that those set aside experimentaHy have not proved des- irable. State and Federal legisla- tio to protect the herd is needed, it is said. if these valuable animals are to be preserved.

other superdreadnaught, 192 tons. All are of the same class of ship. The other daily records showed about the same ratio in fuel burned.
 One of the effective arguments in favor of the 'electric ship, aside from economy of operation, is clean Illness. The New Mexico is free of dirt in the turbine or furnace rooms, and it has the appearance of a ship in commission but a few days, instead of having been operated three years.
 Great economy is practiced in the use of the steam. The exhaust steam coming from the turbine generators is used in the operation of auxiliary equipment. Then it is put into eva porator coils and disti1ls sea water into fresh water. About 25,00O gall Ions of ocean water is converted into fresh water on the Mexico every day. This is used for all general purposes from drinking to laundry work.

 Mixture of Sherlock and Dupin.
 Many important innovations have been introduced in to the science or detecting crime says Chief Inspector Sweeney, of Scotland Yard, put to my mind the introduction of the mo tor-car, although it was the simplest and perhaps the most obvious, was by far the most important The factor of time is so very important II the detective police can be on the scene of a crime soon after it is committed they can very often obtain informa- ton at once which otherwise 1t would take them many days and much skilled work to collect
 "The work of the detective is now practically a science, and at Scotland Yard we have tried to make it even more than a science. We try to tenn Allan Poe's detective, Dupin, secured his results by the exercise of pure reason Sherlock Holmes seemed to obtain the most of his results by inn our detectives a mixture of Holmes and Dupin-"
 Crime also runs on wheels, as the sudden concentration of unemployed for an attack on Islirgton own Hall recently proved, and as was shown during the outburst of Sim F'ein at tacks on the homes of Royal Irish ConstabuIary men in London a few weeks ago indicated ''The Yard has had need of speed. Although the spectacular American motor bandit has no cousin operating here, the bolshevik, the Irishman and the hool- igan among the workless, all have given the London force many a test of it's ability to concentrate with light ming speed. and revealed the necessity of plotting instantaneous movement to meet any emergency.

Snake Adopts Mouse

New York, June 22-A small white mouse placed in the same cage with a South American boa constructor as food for the latter, has been adopted by the snake. according to Edwin A. Osborne, of No. 941s One Hundred and Sixteenth street, Richmond Hill, owner of this unusual family.
 The mouse. with the aid of some straw has made a nest in the coils of the boa constructor, and MT. Os- borne declares that the most amfca- ble relations exist between the two.
 Although the snake Is non-poison- ous it has great constructive power and recently crushed the life out of rat placed in it's cage in twenty-four seconds The reptile refused to eat :he rat however, and Mir.
