The Chinese occupation of Koboo directly raises China's right to put down the Mongolian, independence movement, and the Tsar must either yield or fight. Following tho Mongolian declaration of independence, Russia and Mongolia have entered into a secret treaty. The Mongolian Tulers are to hav-o authority over their own people, and are to act on whatever advice is received from Russia, which is to lend, them .£730,000, receiving as security the whole of Mongolia.

WONDERFUL SURGERY. New York, December 1. To die three times beforo her life 'was finally extinguished has been tho experience of .Mrs.,.Marie Care, of Columbus, Ohio. The woman was undergoing an operation for the removal of some tubercular glands, when. she. apparently expired. Oxygen was promptly administered, and life was restored, but an hour later, just as the surgeons v:ere completing the operation, .the woman again ceased to breathe. So satisfied were the doctors this time that ttie patient had passed beyond all human aid that her husband and other relatives were smn'inoned, and preparations were mado for the removal of the body. As a last resort, however, one of the surgeons made an incision In the chest, and by means of a hypodermic syringe injected adronalin into the lieart. Although, the heart had ceased to beat for 10 minutes, its action was resuscitated in 10 seconds, and respiration was restored within "an hour and a half. Mrs. Care then lived for five hours, at the end of which, time lifo finally 'became extinct. The doctors say that the direct, injection into tho patient's heart was the first operation of the kind to which a human being had been subjected. A REMARKABLE.CASE. London, December 1. A remarkablo case is now engaging the attention of the Courts in Madras, where a Hindu is suing- Mrs..Annie Besant, the •famous Theosophist, for the restitution of his two young sons, who are being educated under her direction hi England.

Sho told him that one of the lads was going to be Lord Christ, with the result that the boy was deified, many people prostrating themselves before him. The defence was that the boy was not deified.

It. is expected that Admiral Scott's invention will oiitiblo a ,preaduouglitj to knock , out.its opponents" by discharging.a broadside with such accuracy that ten 12001b. armourX>iercing shells will strike the enemy's side at the same time. Ono shot hitting its intended mark will, it is thought, cripple the strongest warship. A HUNDRED ZEPPELINS. London, December .2. The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Express" reports that the Indian naval otter has been responsible for the remarkable proposal that Germany should abandon the effort to secure command of the North Sea, and devote her energies towards achieving supremacy of the air. One of the Berlin papers, the "National Zeittmg," suggests that a fleet of 100 Zeppelin airships should be created, and divided into 25 squadrons.
