It Is cheering to read that a skipper
bae arrived at Philadelphia from Java
who reports that on August 6 his ship
ran Into acres of wriggling snakes. He
avs the reptiles were from three to
six feet long and that they occupied an
Hrea on the sea fourteen miles long by
four miles wide. The snakes were In a
: fleldVof moes which gave the water
, red appearance and, of course, height
ened the effect of a scene otherwise
sufficiently startling.
V According to a recent parliamentary
. - return, the number of losses and minor
. casualties of vessels of the United
Klnsrdom In 1899-1900 was 5,463. There
were 420 vessels, of 179,676 tons, totally
' lost, or less by 164 vessels and 27,234
'tons than the average for the last
twenty-four years. In the last twenty-
four years there have been 6,566 Brit
; ieh ships wrecked and 40,797 lives lost.
The seas about the United Kingdom are
i particularly dangerous, as Caesar
.: found over nineteen hundred years ago
, and the Spaniards later. As many as
seventy-nine foreign vessels, of 47,267
tons, were wrecked and became total
i Josses In 1899-1900 rrear British coasts.

Municipal government under United
; Statee rule is an expensive article In
Manila, according to the New Tork
Tribune's correspondent there. In
Spanish days the expense ofgoverning
the city was about $316,000 a year. For
only five months of the present year
the ordinary expenditures were prac
tically double that amount, or $631,934,
while, If you add the cost of special
Improvements, the total amount ex-
ded by the municipality In these
five months foots up $749,648. That
would Indicate a yearly expenditure of
-.Considerably " more than $1,500,000
which l more than five times as much
as was ever spent under Spanish rule.
The educational .advantages of the
" Buffalo Exposition are to be opened to
the school children of that city. For
the accommodation of these children
reduced rates are to be offered from
to-day to the cloBe of the fair. The
(.."pupils are to obtain their admission
tickets from their teachers, and will be
required to attend the fair In groupa
'of not less than twenty, accompanied
iv a teacher or other school official.
Superintendent Emerson of the School
Department will co-operate with the
Exposition directors In their effort to
'.make the Exposition a temporary part
'of the schools' curriculum, and special
i days will be appointed when the pupils
! of certain schools may visit the show
i In lieu of their regular school work.

are toT)eadmlred are thus pointed out
by the Christian Advocate: The Turn
has come In for considerable abuse. He
has been denounced on the right hand
and on the left. Every hard word that
could be found has been put in a cata
pult and fired at the Turk. But has it
ever occurred to any one to think that
the Turk represents five cardinal vir
tues, and In the exercise of these vir
tues he has shown that there Is more in
him than many are disposed to imag
ine? These virtues are courage, ener
gy, obedience, discipline, temperance.
His courage and discipline revealed
themselves in his war with Russia,
when he waB only defeated by over
whelming numbers. The Turks are
stalwart, healthy and capable of great
endurance, more so, perhaps, than any
other European nation. We can smile
at the "Sick Man," as we call him, but
he is not sick in the sense usually at
tached to that word. He certainly is
dishonest and tricky, but these are
matters so common in diplomacy that
they no longer excite surprise. Any
how, the Turk is in Europe and he is in
Asia; he has also got the length of Af
frlca, and wherever he goes he stays,
and stays in quantity.

The Hartford Times thinks It rather
surprising to find the New Haven Jour
nal and Courier enumerating a number
of things that the Constitutional Con
vention cannot do because they are not
permitted by the act which authorized
the people to vote whether they would
or would not have a convention. The
Times says further: We have Eeen no
other authority which pretends that
the act of the legislature can control
the delegates of the people assembled
In convention. The restrictions named
can have none but a moral influence.
There Is no prospect that they will be
Ignored, but if they should be, and the
people should then ratify the new Con
stitution, It would stand Just as if the
act of the legislature did not exist.
We suppose that the convention will
not be legally bound by the restrictions
above referred to, but, as the Times
points out, there Is no prospect that
they will be Ignored. If they should be
the framers of the act would be accused
of putting the restrictions in the act In
order to fool the country members Into
voting to give the people a chance to
decide whether or not a convention
should be called. And then the great
cause of Constitutional Reform would
come to a sudden standstill. So we
guess the restrictions will be found to
be binding.
i -Consul Bellews, at Yokohama, sends
;to the State department some observa
i tlons regarding the scarcity of skilled
i. labor In Japan. He says that while
" swages In Japan are low, the character
' of .the work performed by the laborers
there Is poor when compared with the
v work of American laborers. In Japan
; come one thousand hands are employed
i a spinning mill of ten thousand
Indies, whereas in America about two
Hundred are sufficient in a factory of
ifeimllar capacity. Despite the fact that
the government pays "encouragement
.money," or a bonus, for every ship
puilt In Japan, and that each ship built
(abroad Involves the expense of bringing
It home, most orders are given to for-
elgn builders. This is because the cost
Is lower in the agreegate In foreign
countries than In Japan.

While a general attack on the North
Pole is being made the South Polar re
gion Is hot to be neglected. The Dis
covery, an English ship, commanded by
Captain R. F. Scott, recently sailed
from Cape Town to Australia, aind
about January 1, 1902, will enter the
ice pack off the Antarctic continent.
Thla vessel has been admirably
equipped at a coat -of $450,000 and is
prepared to remain three years in the
Inhospitable region about the South
Pole. Studies in terrestrial magnetism
are to form an Important part of the
Discovery's scientific work. Conjecture
as located the south magnetic pole In
three or four different positions. Ob
servations now to be made will, it 1b
hoped, solve this problem. Of not
much lees value will be the meteorolog
ical observations which are to be taken
several times every day, both aboard
ship and on land stations. Good re
sults are expected, plso, from the
sounding and dredging .off the Antarc
tic coast, for which work the Discovery
has excellent apparatus. The fauna
and flora will be carefully studied.
But few forms of life exist, and such
as exist are believed to be of very hum
ble character. Observations of the
temperature, density and chemical
composition of sea water will, of course,
be carried on in connection with the
meteorological studies. v
Little is known about the South Polar
region and the voyage of the Discovery
is expected to yield much that Is new
and strange.
say the other day about the decline ot
attendance in the Protestant theologi
cal seminaries of the' country, and the
Boston Pilot seized the opportunity to
show how different the situation is in
the Roman Catholic seminaries. Tho
rilot says there are now seventy-six
Roman Catholic theological seminaries
in this country, with a total of S.395
students, the number studying for the
priesthood having been steadily in
creasing for several years. Regarding
the reason why the Catholic seminaries
are holding their own, "anoV in not a
few cases, despite their lengthened
courses and increasingly severe tests
for admission, finding an overabund
ance of eligible candidates," while
many Protestant seminaries are declin
ing It presents these comments: The
more than 3,000 young men already
studying for orders these figures take
no acount of candidates In foreign
seminaries or In religious congrega
tlons and the hosts who aspire to fol
low their example, know that they are
prep'arlng to become part of the teach
ing church, and not of any doubting
and disintegrating sect. The falling of
faith in the divine revelation as em
bodied in tho Bible once the capital
stock, so to speak, of all Protestant
bodies has brought many of these to
spiritual bankruptcy in the minds of
their followers. The principle of pri
vate interpretation has gone the length
of its rope. The more intelligent non
Catholics refuse to be straltly bound
by Bible, confessions or formularies,
and have made for themselves an ec
lectic religion. What is the use ot a
definite theological training in a creed
which is unpreachable except to empty
benches? Moreover, what certainty of
an honored place lifelong, and a con
tinued, even though modest, mainte
nance? Yet out of their meagre ranks
what Protestant sect is not ready to
send missionaries to convert the Catholics?
Perhaps there is more truth than
poetry in these remarks, and yet it is
probably ,,not true that the principle of
private interpretation has gone the
length of Its rope. 1

England is troubled by the failure of
her big army to speedily conquer tho
Boers, but she is not the first country
to have such an experience. Por her
encouragement it is pointed out that
the guerilla war in the former kingdom
of Naples, after Garibaldi's expedition
brought the campaign In the two Sici
lies to e.n end In May, 1861, lasted till
late in 1863. After the first six weeks
it degenerated Into pure brigandage.
The guerilla force never exceeded 4,000
or 5,000 men, and yet the Italian gov
ernment required thirty months and an
army of about 120,000 men to put it
down. Moreover, the whole Continen
tal part of the kingdom of Naples was
traversed by good roads," with the ex
ception of the Abruzzo and Calabria,
and was no larger than the Austrian
province uf Gttllcia. The Oieuifee River
Colony and Transvaal, which possess
few roads and which have not been
mapped, cover an area as great as the
whole of Austria-Hungary. It is evi
dent, therefore, that the British, , in
dealing with an enemy so cunning,
brave, mobile and determined as the
Boers, have had a task of tremendous
risk and labori before them in spite of
their enormous superiority in numbers.
Professor Tolltn'i Recently Discovered
Astronomical Cycle.
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
In an interview concerning his re
cently discovered astronomical cycle,
and which, in honor of Yale's Bicenten
nial, he has termed the Talensian Cycle,
or YeJeon (pronounced Yale-eon), Pro
fessor Totten stated that the discovery
of such cycles was the great problem
of astronomy, but that there were few,
known to modern scientists, that even
pretended to harmonize the motions of
more than three bodies at once. The
ancients studied such matters more
closely than we do, and employed them
for practical purposes. Thus Josephus
notes a great year to have been six
hundred years in antediluvian times,
and M. Casslnl, the Director of the Ob
servatory of Paris, shows this to be
7,421 lunations within twenty-seven
hours.
Now, all such relations enable us to
preserve the approximate value of the
related periods, and the more universal
the combination the greater will be the
utility of the cycle. Hence to discover
one that brings all the planets into line
has been the aim of scientific men ever
since the measure of time began to be
of value. Professor Totten s researches
in this field are often brought into no
tice through the announcement of some
new discovery, and the publication of
the value of his Yalenslan Cycle un
doubtedly records the longest and most
comprehensive period ever submitted
for very simple verification. It is im
possible to run our notes Into an iter
vlew, but we shall endeavor to plot out
the gist of what we gathered in the fol
lowing lines:
It is manifest that if we were pre
sented with a period of completed mean
solar years within which the moon and
all the planets in the solar system made
certain round numbers of revolutions
we could determine their periods exact
ly, and even make a planetarium which
would record them as accurately as a
watch does the simple time elements of
the earth on which we live. Now, this
Is Just what Frofepior Totten's remark
able cycle enables us to do.,
His discovery subsists upon the state
ment that In 1.444 mean solar years
Mercury makes 6,000 revolu tlons. Venus
2,347, Mars 768, the Tlanetolds 361. Jupi- I
ter 322, Saturn 49, Uranus 17.18 and
Neptune 8.77, and the moon 17,860. As
the sun is always opposite the earth
his cycle, therefore, comprehends all
the principal .elements in the solar sys
tem, and has no competitor.
And all this is correct according to
astronomy, for if 1,444 years be divided
by the foregoing numbers the respective
quotients will be the periods aligned
In the text books to the planets In
terms cf the mean solar year taken as
unity. For Instance, 1,444 divided by
6,000 gives us Mercury's year .2406 2-3,
the text books as a rule being satisfied
with .240 as sufficiently exact. The
other text book values are: "Venus .615,
Mars 1.E8. Planetoids 4.00, Jupiter 11 83,

Thus 1,444 years, or a period ending in
tne zr,4iuth day, as a statement, is a
emfl.ll compendium of astronomy itself,
and all the lesser conjunctions in the
solar system may be determined from it
by comparison of Its subordinate peri
ods taken two and two, etc.
Now, the remarkable part of Profes
sor Totten's discovery Is his own state
ment that it was derived directly from
the Bible, understood upon the chrono
logical scale which the school to which
he belongs has discovered and publish
ed. For the case in point It comes about
In this manner: Balaam predicted the
star that was tt arise In Jacob In 1446
B. C, and the Magi came to Bethlehem
with Its culmination there in 2 B. C;
1.446 minus 2 are 1,444 years. From all
this Professor Totten conceived the idea
that this period of 1,444 years must be
an important cycle, and his studies re
sulted, as we have seen, in a complete
demonstration that It Is.
From other reasons, chronological and
numerical, that we need not introduce
here (in that while simple people want
an almanac they do not care to know
how it is worked out), the Professor
built 2,!92 ef the 1.444-yeav cycles into a
stupendous one of 4,320,448 years, and
this latter is the one to which he has
given the natne Taleon, or Talensian.
It is a recovery rather than a discovery
of the very ancient Indian Cycle of 4,
320,000 years, or rather an extension
thereof, for while the latter harmonizes
the periods of only live of the planets
and that of the moon its modern ex
pression comprehends them all. The
Talensian Cycle Is thus a double dis
covery, for it recovers the old one and
expands it Into a new and truer one.
Professor Totton declares that every
period employed by the Prophets is an
astronomical cycle of express exactitude
not only in terms of the sun or moon,
but one that comes out even in the rev
olutions of some one or more of the oth
er planets In one solar system. In oth
er words, he regards the entire solar
system as a huge chronometer and finds
that the Prophets picked out, or rather
were lei to reloct (whethT thy nrrW
stood them or not), only such periods
of the earth as were punctuated by not
able revolutions upon the other plane
tary wheels geared to us.
This Is a very startling idea. The so
lar eystem is, then a whole with numer
ous planetary wheels. TVe live upon
one of them. , Long before e knew
anything about their relative motions
the Creator set for us terrestrial beings
certain prophetic .periods, and in due
time history verifies them; but later,
even away down In our own day, along
I
cornea Modern Science and says, Tes,
they did come true In just those peri
ods, but the strangest thing In the
whole business is that each of those
terrestrial periods, that seems to be so
casual and arbitrary, is an exact cycle
upon some one or another of the plane
tary wheels in this system. No one
knew It, no one could have known it,
for its very discovery depends upon a
modern demonstration (this Is Profes
sor Totten's argument) that the super
natural therefore, or that, in fact, in
spiration only, can account for such
things.
Why, his school of delvers Into the
mysteries does not hesitate to find the
railroad, the trolley, the ironclad yes,
and the yet-to-be-materialized flying
machine, all drawn up and specified in
the Bible. .
