o LONGEST REIGN OF MANY GEiNTURiES Francis Joseph Celebrates 65th Anniversary of Ascension. FEW PARALLELS IN HISTORY Rameiai II., Seiostria of the Greeks, Believed to Have Ruled For Sixty Mven Years Other Long Reigns Shrouded wJn Doubt and Mystery. Still Others Were Not Actual Reigns. BAiBsels. The lonscst nctunl reign In thirty centuries nnd more in whnt the world has Just observed the hIx-ty-Uftli nunlversnry of the accession of Francis Joseph, emperor of Austria. There arc, Indeed, only four lodger reigns In the history of the world, nnd one of them Is problematic, while two others were. In part, merely nominal. The primacy must be given to that Fharaoh who entertained Abraham. Ho Is said to have reigned nlncty-nlno years, but who knows? Ramcscs II.. however, the Scsostris of the Greeks. 1h credibly believed to have relgued Blxty-Boven years, and , that was. as stated, more than thirty centuries ago. Since then Louis XIV. of Franco, Dleudonne, Le Grande Monarquc, wns king for seventy-two years, but as ho wns only live years old nt his' succession and had to jet Maznrin rule until he was twenty-ono he actually occupied the throne for only flfty-slx years. Juba of Numldla, too. wns entitled 'to the throne for slxty-slx years, but really occupied It only fifty. Victoria's long reign counted less than sixty-four years nnd James of Aragon's only sUty-threo. No others surpassed threescore, and only eight more ex ceeded a half century Henry III., Edward III. and Georgo III. of Eng land; Jnmca IV. of Scotland.

Frauds Joseph wns past eighteen nt his suc cession nnd has actually reigned for sixty-live years a record unrivaled sluco "tho days of old Barneses." There Is a peculiar fitness In this, seeing that tho Austrian empire is in a sense tho successor of tho oldest po litical Institution Europe hns known. "Of those who In August 1800." stiya Mr. Bryce, "read In tho now'spapors that tho Emperor Francis II. had an nounced to tho diet his resignation of tho imperial crown there wore proba bly few who reflected that tho oldest political Institution in the world had come to an end. Vet It Is so. Tho em pire which n noto Issued by n diplo matist on tho batiks of the Danube ex tinguished was tho same whlqh tho crafty uephow of Julius had won for himself against tho powers of tho east beneath the cliffs of Actlum and which liKtlpreson'ed almost unaltered through elghteon ccntu les of time a title and pretensions from which all meaning had long slnco departed." Simultaneously with that resigna tion, however, he who hadTbecu Fran cis II., emperor of Rome, becamo Francis 1.. emperor of Austria, "what over t lint meant" to ipjotc notAMr. Bryce, hut Mr. Freeman. And m tho Roman crown had long been in tho possession of the Ilupsburgs and as Austria had been the dominant state lu tho empire. It is by no means unlit ting to regard 'tho present Austrian empire as the direct successor of tho Roman empire and tho grandson of Francis II. of Rome as tho remoto suc ' cesser of Augustus. To paraphrase .Mr, Bryce, we may say that in 18 IB. when tho inept (For dinand was compelled to abdicate his throne, there were probably few' who Imagined that tho timid and untried lad who succeeded him was begliinlug the longest and one of the most Im portant reigns in the history of tho Hpsburg8 or of tho'eastern empire.

Bnbson, statistician and p.nnlylst of business conditions,, an nounces to the New York Sun the ro tinlts of an Investigation somewhat out of his line, but to which he devoted hla tlmo for tho benefit of certain members of tho medlcnl profession. Mr. Dabson explains that he bad no ftuarrel with physicians nnd surgeons t& general, but ho was aroused over a recent discussion at a convention of medlcnl men nt which It was suggested that Mr. Babson acbloved his results chiefly by guessing nnd that at times 'Ids guessing was not of a high order.'
