Why a
WAR IMPOSSIBLE.
Conflict with England Could
Kt Take Place.
' The possibility of war between Eng
laad and America, the two great Eng
ii.i,pnVinir. civilized and civiliziDg
powers of the world, is certainly re
carded on this side of the Atlantic, and
proba-bly on both, as infinitely remote.
During the height of the so-called Ven
ezuelan crisis a little more than a year
ago nothing was more remarkable than
the calm and pacific tone in relation
thereto shown by the English people
and the English press, in sharp contrast
to the belligerent attitude, to say noth
ing of the commission of a flying squad
ron, evoked by the now historic tele
gram of the German emperor. All this
is now ancient history. But the dif
ference in feeling was clear and unmis
takaWe. Every Englishman believes in
the unfortunate possibility of an Anglo-European
war. No Englishman be
lieves in the real possibility of an Anglo-American
war. The two countries
are united Toy ties of blood, religion and
language. They have vastfinancial and
..r,m,npr.ial relations. They would, in
the event of war whatever its result
tflint. nn one another incalculable dum-
ntro and loss. Tbey have no conflicting
interests, territorial or otherwise-Canada
not excepted sufficient to justify
such an international calamity. All
two, f ireumfitances should combine to
render such an event impossible. These
considerations directly affect my argu
ment. Half the exports from the United
States to England are, in fact, bread
stuffs, and of this commodity alone
these exports supply more than one
third' of our yearly national consump
tion. To deprive American wneai pro
.inn nnrl Drain shippers of their
moat valuable market would inflict ma
rin1 inlnrv on American prosperity,
To no BlirmOKe that a combination of
Kuropean powers againBt England tie
clared food to be contraband of war.
Such a declaration of international law
has generally been opposed to Ameri
can policy on general international
grounds. For the special reasons men
tioned above, and again to quote Mr.
Balfour, "this theoretical prepossession
would be stimulated by the strongest
motives of personal interest." At the
same time it may tie remarked that
Uncle Sam would hardly declare war
In order Xo enforce this view except
for his own hand. North American Ite-

THE MAKING OF DIAMONDS.
What the Prodnct of the Laboratory
Look I.Ike.
At the Royal institution recently,
Mr. William Oookes delivered a lecture
on "Wnmonds." He said that, thanks
to Prof. Moissan, diamonds could now
be manufactured in the laboratory
minutely microscopic, it was true, but
with crystalline form and appearance,
color, hardness arid action on light the
Mine as the natural gem. The first
necessity was to select pure iron and to
pack it in a carbom crucible with, pure
charcoal from sugar. Half a pound of
this iron was put into the body of tkc
electric furnace, and a powerlul arc, no
sorbing about, 100 horse power, formed
close above it between carbon poles.
The iron rapidly melted and saturated
itself with carbon. After a few min
utes' heating to a temperature above
4,000 decrees Centigrade, the current
was stopped and the dazzling, fiery
crucible plunged in cold water until it
cooled below a red heat. Iron increased
i ii volume at t he niomen t of pnssi ng from
the liquid to the solid state; henee the
expansion of the inner liquid on. solidi
fying produced an enormous pressure,
under stress of which the dissolved car
bon separated out in a transparent,
dense, crystalline form in fact, us dia
mond. To obtain the diamond from the
metallic ingot required a long ami
tedious process of treatment with vari
ous strong reagents, and the specimens
thus obtained were only microscopic.
The largest artificial diamond yet made
was less than one millimeter across.
Many circumstances pointed to the con
clusion that the diamond of the chemist
and the diamond of the mine were
strangely akin in origin, and the dia
mond genesis must have taken place at
great depths under high pressure. How
the great diamond pipcH came into ex
istence was not difficult to understand.
After they were pierced they were filled
from below, and the diamonds, formed
at some epoch too remote- to imagine,
were thrown out with a mud volcano,
together with all kinds of debris eroded
from ad iacent rocks'. According to an
other theory the diamond was a direct
irift from heaven, conveyed to earth in
meteoric showers, and the so-called vol
canic pipes simply holes bored in the
earth by the impact of monstrous
meteors.--London Times.
It was in the first beat thai the FeD
dleton horse ome to the front, and be
oame an element in the outcome Alta
Norte had been eighth in tbe previous
heat, and nothing was looked for from
ber.
The fifth beat was started and KittitBS,
a steady traveler, was piohed for a win
ner. Alta Dell was at the quarter in 35,
and on the half Ana J. again steadied to
her work and traveled very well. Kitti
tas proved a disappointment, for be fell
behind, just when his former perform
ances were expected from bim. On the
last eighth, Alta Norte, tbe eigbtb horse
in tbe first heat, and from whom little
was expected in this heat, plunged to the
lead. Coming, down the stretch, sbf
had thincit her own way, aod Bearing
the wire Irwin drove easy and pBesed
under two lengths ahead of Alta Dell.
Baruaole was again third. Time,2:19rj.
Four of the eight horses It ft in the
race now hud firsts to their credit, ord
Kittitas had two of them. Ho another
heat was necessary to decide the event
and there were fonr starters tbe ones
who held the firsts. Kittitas, Alta
Nortu, Alta Dell and Ana J. went off in
a bunch, and Alta Dell took the lead,
Kittitas second. The quarter was made
in 0:35 J, with Ana J. trailing. AHn
Dell went np the half and inide the
three-quarter in 1 :lb with Alta Norte
aeoond. when the pest was passed
Alta Norte took the led, and bulb
horses ciime down the stretflh at a lively
rate, but Alta NotM kept her lead and
won; Alta Dell reootd, Ana J. thiid,
Kittitas Hanger disUnoed; time, 2 24
After tbe decision had been announc
ed, HherilT FrHZier, of Port'mid, owt.er
of Kittitas runuer, enterrd a proUst,
atniinu that his horse would not have
been distunoe had not the lltiman been
at the 100-yard post instead of the 150
yard, where he should linve been sta
tioned. Friiizer declared Ihitt his nsser
tlo i wis sustained by the rules of both
troi ting associations. ThejndgiB took
tbe matter under consideration. Prev
ioiisly Mr. Condon, owner (,f Ana J ,
was fined $10 by the judtfea for tuiikii g
some remark about a start. After the
aeoond beat, Ana J. whs driven by Lind

Furl your sail, my little boatie,
Here's the harbor still and deep,
Where the dreaming tides, in streaming,
Up the channel creep.
Bee, the sunset breeze is dying;
Hark, the plover, landward flying,
Boltly down the twilight crying;
Come to anchor, little boatie,
In the port of sleep.
Far away, my little boatie,
Roaring waves are white ith loam ;
Bhipn are striving, onward driving,
Day and night they roam.
Father's at the deep sea trawling,
In the darkness, rowing, hauling,
While the hungry wlndB are calling,
God protect him, little boatie,
Bring him safely home!
Not for you, my little boatie,
Is the wide and weary Bea;.
You're too Blender and too tender,
You must rest with me.
All day long you have been straying
Up and down the shore and playing;
Come to port, make no delaying!
Day is over, little boatie,
Night falls suddenly.
Furl your sail, my little boatie,
Fold your wings, my tired dove,
Dews are sparkling, stare are twinkling
Drowsily above.
Cease'from sailing, cease from rowing;
Rock upon the dream-tide, knowing
Bafely o'er your rest are glowing,
All the night, my little boatie,
Harbor lights of love.

CHINESE OBSTACLES,

Which Mont Be
Out.
If a house is to be repaired wonder
f ul forethought is necessary. The evi:
Knirits which are supposed to occupy
..!, dwelling that mortals have inhab
ited cause the carpenter no end of
trouble and no trifling expense, says
T.innincott's. First, an astrologer must
be consulted with regard to the most
lneW dav for beginning the worn,
then a square suspended from the ridge
beam is a notification to the spirits of
darkness that their dwelling-place is
to be disturbed, wherefore the square
thine for them to do is to move out
rmiptiv anil peacefully. Next the car
penters make offerings to these un-
r.nen residents. These gifts seem to
say; "If you please, spirits of dark
ness, accept this bribe and speedily
ul;o vnnr flicht."
Next, the nciffbbors must be warned
that these evil influences are about to
IiR turned loose, perhaps to seek shelte
under a neighboring roof. Every house
i,,,t ciroct receives a notice that
UH t'u
upon a certain day and hour repairs are
to begin on the dwelling of Ah Sin.
Kueii household can then pay the imps
not to enter their doorway, but to go
to the next, neighbor.
Even the farmer cannot begin his
work in the spring until after the na
tional festivals are celebrated in honor
of the special gods who are supposed
to make it their particular business to
look after the welfare of those who till
the soil. In a land where more than
100,000,000 people are supported by agri
culture, where many farms have been
in cultivation for three or even four
milleniunis. we naturally expect to find
lill in that line of work. In this we
are not disappointed, for Chinese farm
ing is scientific handwork.
