FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
Paurs, 28th October. The République Francoise, in an article on the relations between Franso and England, mys: "We are not the enemies of England, and we ahould hold ourselvas greatly to biamo if we at tempt to revive old hatrais against her. Our admiration for England, however, does not go 80 far as to sadrilles to her marely booanse she hap pens to be a nation of liboral Parliamentary Institutions interests of the first order and imme. morial rights. On the contrary, we consider that our honour requires as to defend them to the end, although by other means than war. We regard as a poro piese of pleasantry the dilemma presented by the article of the Tempe on the 26th inat., agcording to which there is no choice but an English occupation of Egypt for an in- definito period, or war batwo France and Engiazd"

It appears as though the revival in trade in France which is shown by increased export figures in likely to be permanent. All smelting works in the Ardennes as well all spinning works at Rivius and Fontaiz are reported to be fully employed, while at Blanzy there is talk" of raising wages.
The Pope has recently mat asme valuable presents to the Borgia Musoum, Among these are a number of objects brought to Europe from China by Konan Cathke missionarias, consist ing of laps, brouse vases, ivory wares exquisitely carved, coins, garments of silk and gold, and vapecially a quantity of vers beautiful brauze and gilt furniture.
As a general rule the criminal classes are not much given to entering on the married stato. For the future this antipathy to matrimony will probably be strengthened. In Warsaw a great gathering of thieves assembled to witness the
wedding of one of their number: The Polion got wind of the ceremony, and jest as the party were performing a quadrille slipped in and made them prisoners. They are now performing "quod"-drills.

Dr. Kransl took part in the negociations respect ing the Fiji Islands, West Africa, and New Gainer The present negociations relate to East Africa, and their object is to prevent the occurrence of any dispato ate future time.
Thoquestion of a naiversal meridian has solong been before European astronomern that it is about time agreement was come to. The conference to be held in Berlin this work (says Kuhlow of
27th October) on the subject his for its ob jnot the completion of the work began at the Rome and Washington conferences. The grant difficulty in the way of the fixing of a common meridian has boon the national pride of the French, who do not like the idea of taking their tits from England as they would by accepting the aridias of Greenwich-in spite of the fact that the Arenwich noon is the standard for antropomere of most nations and for samon of nearly sil. At the conference held in Romo in 1893 the French delegates endeavoured, though of course vamily, to get the mecision of Paris accepted. The ma- jority decided for the merilian of Greenwich, and the Frenchmen then bowed with bad grace to the division. Au important departaro is proposed: this consists in counting the hours not from moon to midnight at thed from midnight to noon again, but from man to hooɑ or midnight to midnight up to 24 The on- forence held at Washington recommended the Greenwich midnight, but this resolution is yet enrabated by many estronomers, who keep to the reckon from soon.

The Geological Survey of the United States recently seat out a party under Captain C. E. Dutton to make a complete survey of Centar Lake. in Oregon, the shores of which, with the exception of nae point on the south, had bitherto i never been torched by the foot of white men. The survey has now bec atisfactorily complet. od. The party's beste ware hauled 100 miles by male teams, dragged by a detail of soldiers up the snowelad ride of the ridge which surrocade the Take, and lowered by ropes from the crest to the water,000ft.below. One hundred and sixty exam- ings were male. Twelargosbraerged cinder cones were found, 800ft. and 1200ft. high respectively, the rest of the bottom being flat. Captain Dut ton believer this to be the depent body of fresh water va the American Continent The greatest depth attained by the sounding line was 2,000 feet With regard to the origin of the basin, it is supposed to have been formed in much the some way as the Grout Calderas of the Hawaiian Islands, by the melting of the foundations of the original mountains, the blowing out of the molten material in the form of light pumice and fine tufa. It could not have been formed by su explosion, like Krakatoa and Tomboros in the East Indies, as there was no trace of fragments ta. 7 anywhere in the surrounding country.
