Worthy of Cicero.

During the bearing of a asse in the Prize Court recently Bir Samuel Evans, is looking through some intercepted correspondence, maid, there was a letter, written apparently by a German in Ge many to a relative in New York, which, began with a motto which was worthy of Cicero. The epigram said: "When a ghool- master becomes a diplomatist he invariably mikes # 1630 of things." "That" commented

his Lordship, "is obviously a Tilerance to the American Pre- #ident.”

The Late Jack London's Prophecies.

To the list of imaginative writers who have predicted some- thing liks the sort of warfare that is now being waged must be added the name of Jack London, safi on Exchange. A corros- pondent of a New York paper oslle attention to an article of his that appeared in the "Orarland Monthly" in March, 1900. In this he wrote: "Soldiere will be com- Ipelled to creep forward, barying themselves in the earth like moles."

And again: "Future wara must be long. No more open felde; no more decisive victariee; but a saccession of sieges fought over and through successive lines of widely extending fortificatione. The defeated arшyupposing that it can be defeated-will retire alonly, in reaching itself step by step, and most likely with s esm intrenching machines." In the same article Mr. London em- phasised the greater deadliness of arillery owing to "the use of range-finders, chemical instead of mekanical mixtures of powder, high explosives, increase of range, and rapid fire."
