Easte&n papers tell us that there is a growing demand for labor. These are glad tidings. Give the laboring men a "chance to earn a few honest dollars and its effect is felt everywhere.

V. -Professor Sanford, of Stanford university, explains how this can be done by sending up , liquid carbonic acid and allowing it to exDand and cool the air. The ' process is simple enough, but the . fact that to secure a quarter of an inch' of rain costs 600,000 an acre may tend to prevent the method from becoming immediately popu lar in fanning communities. i China is one; of the -;big bodies that move slowly. When she real ly finds out that she is involved in a war we shall expect to see her da something worthy of her enormous population. In a war involving orientals we should not look for that activity which is character istic of humanity this side of the globe. Our' antipodes have their way of fighting; it is more deliber ate but none the less destructive than ours. Japan happens to have got in the first blow and that is a strong point in her favor. But the war has actually not begun yet. Business men, this is a good time to get your ears to the ground and hear the rumble and roar of the cominz commercial revival. The dark days of depression are already over, and there are signs on every hand of the recovery "of business from its sleep. The Coxeyites have taken to the woods, the labor agita tors have retired for reflection, the period of unrest is at an end, and right now is the time for the man with capital to inyest it and get ready for the general business revival which is awaiting all legiti mate financial and commercial en terprises. - ' ' It ib proven by statistics that for eign immigration has fallen off fifty.per cent during the last five years.

For 4000 years, or since the time of Noah's flood, four of the heavenly planets have not been in such conjunction as they are now approacning. eaturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus will be in perihelion ana passing uie SO-deg. node at the same time this summer, and Professor h&Va hxed the time at from July 3 to August 30 when the greatest disturbances would be felt from these planetary influences. Prof. . Falb predicted that between August 17 and 30 a great submarine earthquake would submerge New York citv by a tidal wave, that it would disconnect the peninsula of Florida from the main land and cause it to sink, and unit it would niak-j an island cf California. The shock would be felt across the North American continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific. All along the North Pacific coast a tidal wave 60 feet high was also predicted by Professor Falb. The gentleman is quoted in the Baltimore sun of a recent date as saying that his predictions of critical days" for lby-i are divided into three classes, and that August 30th is the first critical day of the first class, to t followed by Sep tember 29lh and October 2Sth. He asks a suspension of judgment on his predictions until these dates are passed. His dates for the second class are September 15th, October 14th and November loih; for the third class, August 16th, November 27th and December 27th. At this writing, only one date has been passed, August 16th, which belongs to the third, or least important class; and so far as we have, heard there "were no unusual atmospheric conditions, except that it was the beginning of excessively hot weath er. Experimenting With Snake Bites. Professor Geo. Buyer, curator of Tulane university in New Orleans, last"; week allowed himself to be bitten by a rattlesnake in order to determine if a person can be inocu lated' and-rendered proof against the venom of serpents. From his large collection of snakes he select ed a young rattler that had been caught a few days before. He teased the-snake until it was angered, and then held out his hand in such a position that the rattler struck his little finger. The professor did not use any antidote, and awaited de velopments. In the course of a few hours the finger became swollen to twice its normal size. The pro fessor said that during the week he would allow himself to be bitten again, lie does not iuidk ine one will prove fatal, because a young snake cannot emit as much poison as an old one. The sensation was able to attend the preliminary, because very much like the sting of a ito8LS and the pain was intense. 1 rotes- tnll righli if no complications set in. sor Buyer's object in experimenting I xho prisoner i3 a professional tramp, is to prove that by the gradual ; and carries a bayonet wound on one BY BOURGEOIS.

A New York Times cablegram says: Zola's "Lourdea hardly had time to be discussed on its literary merits, atont which the critics differ, before they were obscured by larger interest in the row in Borne which the book has stirred np. One effect has been to draw from Cardinal Rampolla, speaking, of course. ofScially, an uncompromising indorse ment of the Loardes miracles. Hereto fore Koine avoided this and merely ac corded Ltfrardes a benevolent toleration, and its changed attitude has .made a great fluiter in French religions cireles. Apparently Lourdea is to bo henceforth a dogma, and this is so much out ol keeping with the general tone ot l.-c XHTs policy that it naturally create surprise and endless comment. ' Zola is himself being assiduously interviewed on the subject and does not conceal his delight at the sensation "he thus pro vided. He intends spending tne winter in Some gathering material for his next book, which is to bear that name, and never smiles as he assures interviewers that one of his first steps there will be to solicit' an audience with the holy fsthm, Kanrs Creek Items.
