One of the thinge in medioine.that have

ering whether a "preseeot is a desirable
risk,
Now comes a French physician, Pro-
le:seer Lalraye, who announces that his
experlmente with blood pressure have con-
vinced him that brain workers are more
fatigued than pereons engaged in physic's
toil. But that is not all. The most im-
portant feature of his discovery is a motle

The Tiger.
The real political contest in France is a
duel of porsonanittes. For years' f. Ole-
menoeau has been the guiding spirit of
French polities. He bus made and unmade
ministers with great rapidity. Whenever
one man seemed to him to becoming
strong M. Olemenceau would intrigue with,
various groups to upset him. It is ,said
that, he, has upset forty 'ministries; It 1s
certain that he has been responsible for
the election of four of the last six prey
dents. Of the two elected in defiance of
his authority one. M. Oasimir•Perier, -was
driven into resignation' atter six 'Months.
The other is Id. Poincare himself, and if
he is still at the nlysee that is not the
fault of M. Olemenceau,who is known as
the Tiger.
At fleet sight it would seam that M.
Poincare he's the advantage. He is presi-
dent of the Republic. The .pomp and cir-
cumstance of office is about him; kings
have been his hosts and his guests, and
in hie tours :through Prance he has known
how to make hie own" personality 'felt
through the trappings of his position:
Awainst this M. Olemenceau has only his
.•position asa senator and the glamor of
having once been president of the coon;
'oil. Yet, for all this apparent weakness,
M. Olemenceau is the greater power of the
two. He has: been the dominant figure in
French. politics since Glambedta died. Until
Ids authority was challenged two years
ago, M. Olemeneeau 'was the sovereign of
Frans, whose 'power had only once been'
d`e`fied in twenty years. dna then' -without
success. The kernel of the political :situ-
ation in P,raence is the problem of whether
M. Poinoare can witbetand'M. Olemenceau..
Paris Is Quite Safe.
Inferences that the Bail on which Paris
is built i8 unstable, based on the tele-
graphed reports of the oinking of the
street eurfaces during, a. heavy rainfall,
are not substantiated by the facte as-
certained through engineering inbestiga-
trions. The depressions, in which several
Persons lost their lives, were caused by
the overflow of storm water from the.
sewers into the subway excavations. Thus
there is -nothing to indicate that, the land
is net amply capable of oar/Ting tale
buildings and the traffic loads of the
greatest city in France.
Tlie storm came so suddenly that the
valves which divert excess -water to the.
river could not be controlled and the
Sewers broke under the pressure and
flooded the.partially built subways. The
Pavement was undermined and cabs and.
people dropped into the underground tor-
rent.
This explanation is simple and reassur-
ing. Visitors to Paris .need hays no Fear
of losing their Jives in subterranean wa-
ters if they keep off the pavemente over
unfinished tunnels during heavy rain-
etorms.

England: may be eliminated from the

Britain has no occasion whatever
to intervene in the conflict, no mat-
ter' what turn it takes, "The high-
est authorities in: London," he says,
"are positively determined to take
no steps based on participation in
the war." Herr Bailin also says
that France's disinclination to go
to war is even a stronger asset in
favor of peace than Britain's amic-
able disposition. "Painful uncer-
tainty" -will continue for eome time,
he concludes, but can be borne by

How Conflict Will Affect This Con-
tinent in Direct Fashion.
A despatch from Pittsburg, Pen.,.
says: Heads of manufacturing and
mining companies fear a shortage
of labor if the: Austro-Servian war
be prolonged. While there are pro-
bably less than 500 Serviens in the
Pittsburg district, it is estimated.
that there are fully 500,000 Austro -
Hungarians in western Pennsylvan-
ia and northern West Virginia, one
fifth of whom are liable for military
duty: The withdrawal of any con-
siderable proportion of this num-
ber from mills and mines' would be
seriously felt in times of industrial
activity while the curtailment of lin-.

age, say the employers.
