Co-operative production, how- over, requires high qualities on tho part of all concerned in it, and, that | accounts for the many failures that Inve occurred during past years.

That is one of the chief dangers Another is that the ordinary workers, the subordinate employés, who form the majority in a co- operative establishment, must not be jealous of the large sums paid for direction And management. It is no doubt difficult for the humbler operatives, who work hard from week end to week end, understand why those at the head of affairs should have ten or twenty times their income. It is difficult to realise that this is an economic necessity that if the able managers are not handsome- ly paid-exorbitantly, if the term be preferred-they will go to private es"ablish- monts, where they will be readily welcom LTD.ed.

A prohibitive duty has BRO. prevented competition from abroad, and the combinations of steelmakers have kept prices to a very high level.

THE ORIGIN OF THE EARTH THE CHINA LIGHT & POWER

AND VOLCANOES,

Considering the question, what is a volcano a writer in Engineering says that it in no easy matter to describe such a gig- antic and complex terrestrial phenomenon, with all its accompanying, accessories and ramifications, and the task is rendered still more difficult by our comparative ignorance of the subject. It is desirable briefly to of the theories of the refer to some primary origin of the earth we dwell 245

on. In a consideration of the subject

of the primary formation of igneous rocks, It is needful to go far into the vast past, and to strive to grasp the conception of the prime root and foundation of matter; the atom, the electron, the ion, and the vortex molecules. The gaseous form of matter afterwards demands our attention. Then let us extend our thoughts to a beautiful of Laplace's consideration hypothesis of the condensation of nebulous matter in space, and afterwards to Lord Kelvin's theory of the earliest consolidation of the world on which we dwell. The writer in Engineering believes Lord Kelvin has surmised that there was a period in the evolution of the earth when he as- sumed that a solid nucleus was covered by an ocean of lava 40 kilometers (25 miles) deep, the assumption implying that the specific gravity of the liquid lava was about 2.50. It was also presumed that solid lava would sink in liquid lava,' and that minerals after crystallising out from the lava would sink, The lava ocean would therefore gradually silt up, and the surface would not freeze until the 41, kilometres of the crust (excepting the Future ocean basing) became Spomposed of solid crystals set in an interstitial mother liquor, Lood Kelvin considered i that Continents arise from the drifting and unequal distribution of the crystal- falling like a snow shower through the lava; the ocean basins arising from the contraction the mother-liquor in

"f cooling The primary origin of the su

薄

called igneous rocks is probably therefore

duo to causes answering to this description. I

A volcano may, perhaps, bo roughly and

briefly described as an area of local eleva- j tion of the earth's surface, surrounding one or more orifices which have a more or less direct communication with the molten mat- ter below the earth's solid crust. Through Kuch

lava or geries of vents," vent, and other volcanio ejecta or débris are forced; either by mechanical chemical forces, or from the action at high temperature and pressure of water intruding on the hot internal matter, or from the action of gases occluded in the original magma during the primary con densation of matter from the gascous con- dition. The erupted products flow over or pile themselves around the crater or vent, and result in the formation of a more or less conical mountain (surmounted by a crater or series of craters), which is called a volcano. This general mode of formation has many complications, dependent numerous modified conditions.

LIFE'S HAPPIEST PERIOD, When an ancient Greek philosopher, was asked which he considered was the happiest time in a man's life le promptly selected the period between tlie ages of forty and forty-five On being pressed for the reasons which induced bits to make this selection, the philosopher nded: At forty a man, if he he intelligent. Jas lost his illurions, and looks upon the world!

He is as it ir, not as he would Be it to he still young enough to partake of the pleasures of youth, yet has sufficient experience never to permit his heart to rule his head; is moderate in all things, and wisely shy of hazardons enterprises. On being further asked which La considered the happiest time in a woman's life, the philosopher paused a long while, and when at last he replied he prefaced his answer by asserting that this was the more difficult question of the two. Finally he said:

When

she is too old to be called a girl, and not oll enough to he called a woman without the word "young" prefixed to it. I am unable to be more definite, for the differences among wonnen are greater than the differences among men. The healtby young woman sees only the brightest side of life, and to her vision the fature is filled with golden possibilities of which the mental anticipation is delightful.

In this pronouncement it will be noted that the wire old Greek nees the word healthy in Omit that word nnd the a qualifying sevva. sentence at once loses more than half its truth. Here is a case which will prove our statement. From the age of nineteen until I completed my twenty-third year, I did not know what it was to be well for a single day. writes Mra R.

for Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup it is doubt- ful if I should be here to-day to describe my experiences. My ailment was chronic bilioveness and dyspepsia. Words are inadequate to convey a conception of my sufferings during that miserable period. I was then a tailor's machinist, employed in that capacity by Messrs. Götterson & Smith, of the Royal Arcade, Sydney. Ordinary food was poison to me, and I was abliged to exist on soda-water, milk, plain biscuits, and dry toast. Even that fare would sometimes distress me to au intolerable degree. My skin turned sallow, my eyes sank and were surrounded by dark, hollow circles. I slept only by fits and starts, my slumbers being hanated and harassed by horrible dreams and nightmares. There was dull continuous pain between, my shoulders and in my right side. I grew thinner, until I was reduced to mere skin and bone, and hecame so weak that I could hardly walk to my place of business. Often the rise of my sewing-machine, and the close air af the workroom, would bring on a splitting healachie that maddened me. Then there were fits of retching ane vomiting, which troubled me with great frequency. When there was nothing in the stomach to come up. I would retch and strain until became exhausted and faint, when my workinates would improvise a couch for me with their cloaks and jackets, and I would lie the for hours unable to move, I was treated by three doctors; but I believe the medicines they prescribed irritated my stomach ond did me more harm than good. After four years of misery I was persuaded to try what Mother Seigel's Curative. Syrup could do for me, and within a few days bedan to miend at such at rate that everyone who knew me was amazed at the improvement in my condition. The vomiting ceased, the hue of health returned to my cheeks. my eyes brightencil, and at the end of two months I was in every respect thoroughly .cured.* :

author of The Liars,' created something like a sensation when done at Wyndham's Theatre. London. In reviewing the per- formance in the English capital, the famous critic of the World, Mr William Archer,

wrote as follows:-

complained to the King when, on the 2nd of December last, a month after he had re- constructed the Cabinet, he was defeated upon a vote of censura and tendered hía final resignation. The discourtesy in the Cortes which he resented was, in reality, due to his own impassiveness. When las year I listened to a debate in the Cortes on the burning question of the Religious As. sociations, Sagasta uttered only four words,It is not true-in response to the appeals of the deputies to declare the Government policy. At a later sitting Romero Robledo affirmed that if the Prime Minister wero no longer capable of governing he ought to resign forthwith, for the interests of the State could not be subordinated to personal consideration.

The private life of Senor Sagasta. was of the simplest. He dressed carelessly, ate and smoked little, disliked ostentation, and he amassed no riches. Ho was an as- Riduous worker, quick at grasping the details of any subject, and his usefulness was perhaps greater as a Cabinet Minister than a Government leader. Courageous, imperturbable and emotionless, his chief characteristic was astuteness. His frigid sorenity was remarkable for a Spaniard. Full

Fuller Details. Allahabad, February 13.-A Pioneer special message dated London, 12th Feb. ruary, says: The 1st Battalion, Scot Guards, at Windsor, have lost about fifty men from desertion since Christmas Two sergeants and seventeen privates deserted practically en masse. Two men have been found drowned in the Thames. The men complain of excessive pickets and parades. An investigation has been ordered."

Calcutta, February 9.-The London cor- respondent of the Indi in Daily News, tole, graphing on the 8th instant, states that some particulars of the ragging, incident in the Grenadier Guards have now been made public; and there is much surpri eat the gravity of the offence.

Besides the Marquis of Douro, who is the son of the Duke of Wellington, formerly of the same regiment, the Master of Belhaven and Lieutenant J. H. Leveson-Gower were also ragged. One of the young men collapsed

under the violence of flogging.

Lord Roberts, while requesting Lieut. Col. Kinloch to resign, simultaneously ex- onerated him privately.

We shall have to face a changed feeling in the South, where the black is denied the right to aspire to the highest American citizenship. That right was formerly unquesitoned; but white will soon succeed in excluding black rom all offices in the South Our first attempt on behalf of the black has failed. The question is What to do ?" and it should occupy the greatest thought of the greatest minds of the country.
