Now some of hls friends are trying to enforce this promise. It is altogether probable that the genial infidel meant Texas instead of Kentucky. ' The Turks are continulng their liloody work of exterminating the Armenians, and their cruelty was never exceeded even In the darkest days of the Park Ages, or of the Inquisltion. It is a terrible blot upon the civilized nations of the earth that the close of the 19th century should ■nitness such horrible barbarity.

The Lieutenant Grovernor of California recently died, and there is no piovision in the constitution or laws 'f the state for rilling the vacancy.

A professor in the Glasgow, ScotIsnd, University, has invented a pair of wings wltli which he can successfi lly fly.

Japan's population of 45,000,000, vvhich is almost a unit in general pharacteristics, gives it an advanced place among the powerful nations of tli'; earth.

One of the leading shipbuilders in England says there can be no such hing as a finality in the speed of essels, and he expects to see it rapidy increased within a few years. ■T.ighteen years ago the fastest craft afloat could make only twenty-one uu! a-hall knots an hour, but now, by the use of trinle compound engines me high boiler pressures, the lates i torpedo boats are doing over hirty knots an hour. Tlie omployment of water-tube boilers will probnbly carry this to thirty-five knots. The ocean üners have reached a steady rato of twenty-one knots an ïour, and increased steam pressure rlth reduced weight may be countel on for an increase of several knots vithin the next decade. There ia ahvays the possibility of important new discoveries and inventions in mach inery and the application of power. This experienced builder, thereore, feels confident that the ocean greyhounds will continue to improve their record indefinltely, and that no reason exista why they may not eventually run as fast as the flynL torpedo boats.
