At Foochow is an upâ€"toâ€"date naval arsenal, developed under the direction of French engineers. China has some formidable coast deâ€" fense fortresses, garrisoned by an arâ€" tillery force described as a fine body of expertly trained men who know how to handle their guns. But recognition of the necessity of a strategic base for the conduct of operations, military or naval, is nothâ€" ing new. It is and always has been a fundamental of warfare. We are accustomed to think of China as a country devoid of effective military and naval defences. The fact is that she possesses seven firstâ€"class modern arsenalsâ€"at Tientsin, Shangâ€" hai, _ Nanking, Hankow, Foochow, Chengtu and Canton. The arsenal at Shanghai has an equipment equal to that of any similar establishment in Europe. _ It manufactures fortress guns, ships‘ guns of largest calibre, projectiles of all sizes and smokeless powder. Practically all of warfare in these days, on land or sea, is applied science In one shape or another. Any acid coming into contact with any carbonate will cause a similar reâ€" lease of this gas. If sulphuric acid be allowed to drip drop by drop upon marble dust (which is carbonate of lime) the latter wili give off carbonic acid gas; and, if water be charged with this gas, it becomes what we call soda water. It gets the name "soda water" from the fact that in former days the gas that makes it fizz was deâ€" rived from carbonate of soda. It is the same kind of fizz for both soda water and the Seidlitz powder. _ To drink first one and then the other would surely create a most horrible disturbance in one‘s inside. Best not to try it. & But why should the pouring of the two innocentâ€"looking fluids produce such a relatively tremendous effervesâ€" cence? It is easily explained. ‘ The powder in the blue packet is 25 per cent. common baking soda and 75‘ per cent. potassium and sodium tarâ€" trate. The powder in the white packet is tartaric acid. What we call baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. The _ tartaric actd., brought intimately into contact with it | in the solution, causes it to give up in a great hurry the carbonic acid it conâ€" tains, the later appearing in the form of gas. Hence the effervescence. I Dissolved separately and poured toâ€" gether, thew make a big fuss. One drinks the stuif hastily, while the fizz lasts. Two small paper packetsâ€"one the other white.

There are many parlor Bolshevists. We have them in our midstâ€"those who smile indulgently when the taly is Bolshevism, and say: "This is only the price that is paid for progress. There is an exact parallel with the French revolution." Another man of learning whose aged wife was begging in the streets bemoaned the fact that his ten years of research on the lepresy bacillus had gone for naught. A Moscow savant mourned: "I am an cld, feeble man, hardly able to move, with feet swollen and with sores from the cold and bhungry winter. Yet they are keeping me in solitary confinement." An entomologist yearned for fireâ€" wood to keep his specimens from desâ€" truction, but as for himself: "I tucked myself up in bed fully dressed, with my overccat on, trying to warm up and to forget and to suppress the feelâ€" ing of tantalizing hunger." Omne of the 420 Russian scientists who have starved to death in the last three years was Prof. E. 8. Federoff, the crystallographer. A colleague who came to him in the last hours gave him a plece of bread. He took a bite and then refused to take more, saying: "You are young. You had betâ€" ter eat." "These years have been one conâ€" tinuous horror," wrote another. "We were declared by the Bolshevists to be parasites and drones, and we were deprived even of that miserable food allowance which the workers and the soldiers have been receiving." meat.‘ Uaiform testimony as to the status of men of science in Russia presents a dismal and depressing picture.

It might be too much to say that they are as old as marriage itself. But they cerâ€" tainly antedate the classic age. Thus Ovid, in his "Fasti," refers to what he describes as the familiar belief that May is a bad month in which to marry. And the same poet, after careful inâ€" vestigation of the various months of the year,‘selected June for the time of his own daughter‘s wedding, beâ€" cause, as he sald, it was "good to the' man and happy to the maid." \JUNE, THE BEST _ | MONTH OF THE YEar unlucky? _ Why are June weddings specially propitious?
