M
The Proposed Treaty
With •
Great Britain.
The’’American people are familiar
with the fact that there is now before
the ynitcil States, for ratification, a
treaty of peace with England. Few,
however, have read the articles of the
proposed treaty. In England and other
countries this treaty is beiug widely
discussed. Why should not Americans,
who Are supposed to govern them
selves, read and discuss the matter and
then write to their senators at Wash
ington telling them what they thlsjk
about it? For that reason we publish
the entire proposition. It is as follows:
•The United States of America and
her majesty, the Queen of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
being desirous of consolidating the re
lations of amity which so happily exist
between them, and of consecrating by
treaty the principle of international ar
bitration, have appointed for that pur
pose as their respective plenipoten
tiaries the President of the United
States^ of America, the Hon. Richard
OIney, Secretary of State of the
United States, and her mbjesty, the
Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, and the Right
Hon. Sir Julian Pauncefote, a member
of her majesty's most honorable Privy
Council, Knight Grand Cross of the
Most Honorable Order of the Bath and
of the Most Distinguished Order of St.
Michael and St. George, and her ma
jesty’s Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary to the United States,
who, after having tommunicated to
each other their respective full powers,
which were found to be in due and
proper form, have agreed to and con
cluded the following articles:

Geology.
The scientific beginnings of geology
are said to have been treated of in
Chinese works long before the Chris
tian era. Some degree of geological
information is displayed in the book of
Job, several passages of which have
been held to indicate an exact knowl
edge of the different strata of the earth.
The science is treated of by Aristotle,
Pliny and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what ihay be called an
exact science untH the present century.

WRITE TO YOUR SENATOR.
It will take a two-thirds vote of the
senate to ratify the treaty, which really
means an offensive and defensive alli
ance. The senators will take great
heed of expressions from the people on
the advisability of entering into an
alliance of this kind. Action will prob
ably be taken in a few days. Those
desirous of protesting or endorsing the
proposition should lose no time in
writing to their senators.

"Do you know wliat I’d do with that
if I was rich?’’ the baggage-master
said with a snort, as he grabbed a
trunk thjit had just been thrown in at
the door of the baggage car. "I’d go
somewhere and buy a cave and fill it
full of dynamite, and put the trunk
right in the center of it.” And all
this agitation was caused by the sight
of an inoffensive-looking trunk with a
rope around it, and bearing a label
upon which was marked in rather
timid characters: “Glass Fragile.
Put no weight on this. Handle with
care. This side up. Keep dry. Use
