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.

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 say, Chillis aud (Jlassford.

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. MATRIMONY AND MENNONi TES. By Blue Mountain Eagle. Mi-k. Ada Rlarkwell and Fred O.
