The Canton Revolt. Nothing will do more to credit the Republic in the popular mind than this alarming depreciation of currency notes, which most spell bankruptuy and rain for thousands of peaceful, Industrious, and -ihrifty people," while on top of it all they will shortly be called upon to endure the horrors of war. And for what purpose Simply, to gratify the aspirations of a small group of Bolf-seeking politicians. If Youn Shih-kai's Government were over- thrown to-morrow, the great mass of the people would gain not the slightest advantage, but far more likely is it that the country would rapidly go from bad to worse. The outlook in any event is" dark. Yuan Shih-kais's" announcement that when the rebellion is suppress ed he will "impeach himself" suggests that he will be ready to accept the verdict of Parliament upon his administration. If the Parliament remains "constituted se it is at present, it is a foregone conclusion that an adverse verdict will be given-for the Parliament has scarcely done anything sincs ite inauguration but quarrel with the nots of the President and if Yuan Shih-kai accepta a vote of censure and retires, who is there among his detractors to whom the country can look to fill the Pre- Ridential Office in a manner which will inspire confidence at home and abroad to anything like the degree that Yuan Shih-kai has done?

Future of Air Travel, Further describing the luxuries of aerial travel, it is said that only the subdued hum from the power plant in the fore-car and the hissing rush of air past the polished hull will indicate the huge speeds attained, otherwise air travel will have a smooth, vibrationless luxury unknown in present modes of transit. Often the earth and sea, faintly dis cernible through the windows of the saloon, will be obscured by a film of low lying clouds and all sense of motion lost. What with wireless telephony keeping one in touch with friends below, the news of the day possible printed on an aerial press, some suites de luxe, a buffet, a boudoir, a music saloon and what not, the conquest of the air, if all the pro- diotions prove true, will certain- ly be man's greatest and most glorious triumph.
