The WetternBee In Sweden, like so many oilier lakes, hns loug enjoyed the local rpputatlon of being a bottomless pit. The Swedish scientists have now
destroyed the venerable legend, for lr. the measurements taken n few days ago they have successfully demon Mrs ted that the greatest depth nf the lake Is only 110 meters. There still remains, however, a series of mysteries which science must be content to leave
unsolved -at least for a time. It Is not only a legendary belief, hut there Is a quasi-scientific ground for the qupct supposition I hat living creatures, ant uinl and vegetable, can and do make journeys to and fro between the high northern Lake of Wettern and the South Herman Lake of Constance. This btikl conclusion 1ms been partly justi tied by the appearance of exactly the same "fauna, ami even of the same animal life, in the Swedish nnd the Swabinn seas. It is even asserted that whenever there Is a storm on the Lnks of Constance the Lake of Wettern begins sympathetically to roll and swell, and that the southern lnke Is similarly moved by any agitation In the distant northern lake. The Klelne Zeitung so
berly declares this sympathetic phenomenon to be a known fact, but eon sideiately adds that we have to wait some time for the rational explanation of It. London News.

We hear no complaint of the relation created by the war between this Government and the Islands of Ciba and Porto Rico. There arc some, however, who regard the Philippines as In a different relation; but, whatever variety of vle'va there may be on this phase of the question, there Is on -vcrsnl agreement that the Philippines snui not be turned back to Spain. No true Am,erlean can consent to that. Kven If unwilling to accept them ourselves. It would have been a weak evasion of manly duty to require Spain to transfer their: U seme other power or powers and thin f,hlrk our own responsibility. Kven If we had, an we did not have, 'th power to compel such a transfer. It could not have been made without the most serious International complications. Such n curse could not be thought of.
