—The talk of war among European
nations still continues, and at domes is
alarni�; When salid
Sohn
becomes nervous, there is generally
danger in the air. The cause of the
present alarm is the action of Ger.
many, Its ruler, the Kaiser, seeme
bent on making himself obnoxious,
and having humiliated Russia, and
made an alliance with Austria, isen-
deavoring to alienate Japan from. Bri-
tain, and thus isolate our motherland.
If this canbe accomplished, the Kai
ser doubtless thinks he can have his
own way on the continent, But des-
pots have been overthrown, and the
outcome of the great Napoleon's ca-
reer might be studied carefully with
profie.by this warlike ruler, before he
undertakes too big a contract. "
—The "Scientific American" ap-
plauds the British railways as once
more, after an interval of six years,
having the remarkable record of carry-
ing on their operations for a whole
twelve -mouth withoue the loss
of a
single life, The last period in which
this was achieved was the year 1001.
In 1902 six lives were lost ; in 1003, 25 ;
in 1904, six ; in 1905, 89 ; in 1000, 68 ;
and in 1907, 18. As a matter of fact
there has been no loss of life for fif-
teen months past. The relatively
Large number of fatalities in 1906 was
mainly the result of three 'disasters,
which were found, upon investigation,
to be due entirely to the failure of the
human element, all the mechanical
arrangements on trains and track be-
ing •found perfect. What a contrast
this is to the United States, and even
the Canadian record.
—The number of applications for
divorce in Canada is on the increase.
There areprobablycases where separa-
tion is perhaps the best remedy for
existing difficulties, but it is to be
hoped that the marriage tie will never
be held so lightly here as it is -in the
United States. Chairman Ethier, of
the Senate Private Bills` committee,
said recently :—"For six years I have
presided over this committee, and for
thirteen years been a member of it,
and while we are accustomed to have
half a dozen divorces each session, the
limit is reached this time. I think it
amounts to an abuse. Those of us
who are fathers of families should
think of the great social evil that is
involved, and not do in this country
as they do in the States. The com-
mittee should assert its rights to see
if the proof given in the Senate is
proper. The Senate is granting divor-
ces in cases where a court would not
give separation. If you prove a man
is a drunkard ar a gambler, it is not
sufficient to justify divorce,"
