THE DECLINE OF EUROPE.
Frofessor Jesu Isoulet is the author of a striking article in the-Paris Figero prophesying the transfer of the commercial and maritime supremacy of the world from the Mediterranean und Atlantic to the Pacifle through the posgan. which the T-74-25 RBD by the anama Canal Americans of the North' (he says) "thoroughly realise that for centuries the Mediterranean, as its name indicates, has been the centre of the commerce, riches, and power of the universe.

Coming to the subject of the Canal, M. Izoulet says:"The piersing of the Tathmus is supreme in its geographical grandeur. No other isthmus exists of which the cross-water transit conld displace the commerce of the world. The Suez Canal is one of England's chief advantages. The Panama Canal will transfer these to the United States, with the certainty of no futurs malation. The commercial supremacy will be of final character.

The Times of Indáz says:---
The outstanding fact in the report of the Sanitary Commissioner with the Government of Bam bay for 1902 is that the ravages of plague were more severe than at any period since the pest manifested its unwelcome presence in Bombay. The total number of deaths from this case was no fewer than 184,752, or £6.493 in excess of the recorded mortality in the previous

In the district of Keetmanshoop, in the south of the colony, there are 1,138 Boers as against 268 Germang, 10 British subjects, and 97 persona of other nationalities. The question of Boer immigration has at rooted much attention: both in the Press and in the Reichaing, and an idea at one time gained ground that the refusal of the Government to sanction certain con- cessions, in connection with the proposed foundation of a branch of the Batch Reformed Church in German South-West Africa, had been made en political grounds.
