The localities iu tbo Mississippi Valley will have Valley time, of that regulated by tho time at tho 90th meridian The 105th will regulate the Mountain time and the l'JOth the Pacific time. Thus all Atlantic time will be just ono hour slower than Eastern timo, valloy time an hour slower than Atlantic time, Mouutain time an hour slower than Valley time and Pacific time an hour slower than Mountain time. The minute and second hands of clocks and watches all over tho country ought, therefore, to point precisely aliko, whilo tho hour hands alone will vary.

After a travolor from Philadelphia passes Pittsburg he will simply alter his watch exactly ono hourand his tiuie'will thou bo correct uutil ho reaches Detroit or Cincinnati, when bo must set his timepiece again as he journeys Westward. It is also apparent that tho new standard time at a given place cannot possibly vary more than half an hour from tbe actual timo of the locality, for tbo sun tra now wears his yellow raiment all day and again is exactly like a silvery moon.

The old man then took him riidit nwuv lo store and rigged hlin out in the 'nobbiest suit to be find lor coin and put an elctmnt ring on his saie occupation ot Hanoi.

"Iu the event of a French attack upon Bac Ninh, will China mako a gonoral war upon Franco?" Yes," answered the Marquis; "China will then fully declare war witli France. If the French attack Bac Niuh I will at onco demaud passports for myself aud the entire Cliiueso Embassy and we shall leavo France. The results of such a war cannot but be disastrous. I regret that war is imminent." Is China anxious for peace?" "No; the great majority of tho Chinese people desire war witli France." The dilloroiice between Chinese and European methods of warfare being alluded to, tho Marquis said "It is a mistake to underestimate the ability of the Chinese iu tho arts of uiodorn warfare. Tho Chinese themselves believe thoy are more than competent to tight Franco.

The progress of China in modern military science has ro contly been really great. No man cau be popular to day in China unless ho advocates a war against F'rance. All tho Chinese leaders favor it. The popular mandarins insist upon it. The veterans and all tho unemployed soldiers throughout tho Empire aro actually clamoring for a trial against foreigners.

Tho most popular ant the Chinese Government could to day perform would bo to declare war against France." Is it truo, as reported, that tlio Government of the United Slates oilbrod its services as mediator between China and Franco in the present dispute It is not true. Tho government of the United States has neither oll'crcd to act nor acted as mediator. The only nation which has acted in this capacity has been England, and her olliocrs wont no further than to oiler to mediate as a friend between tbe two disputants.

Against till dissuasions und tho predictions of disaster by tbo Priestess of Pelo the lady traveled In stale a hundred miles till she arrived near the blazing crater, Kilauea.

There she addressed the crowd, spying: "Jehovah is my rod. He kindled theso fires. 1 fear not Pole.
