% INDUSTRY AND EDUCATION.
For some years the tendency of
young men seeking higher education
has been toward law and medicine.
Schools of these professions have in.
creased in pumber and the felds of |
oecupation have become more over
crowded, says the Omaha Bee. Cer |
tain new tendencies in industry and |
the science of treating human ills are |
at work which suggest the possibility

tio frent. Public and private en

— progress has been,
and more will be, made. Along with
thls, though distinetly apart from it,
, oes the effort of the government and |
private capital to harness nature for |
the needs of industry; to open up irri
gation and water-power plants for ag-
ricultural and Industrial purposes, The
New York Times invites to the new
fields of scientific service the attention
of young men contemplating finished |
educations. They are, undoubtedly,
prolific of opportunities. What will the
effect be in these two channels? Will
the current be diverted from law and
medicine to that of technical or sani
tary engineering?
How rapidly the aeroplane is becom-

plan of the English postoffice depart.

post between London and Windsor
and the report that the French postal
officials intend to employ the hydro
aeroplane for delivering mail from in-
coming steamships, says the Chicago
Record-Herald. Not more than two

than-air machines becoming more
than a means of sport. There seems
not much to be gained In time in send-
ing letters by aeroplane between Lon-
don and Windsor, but the experiment
will doubtless lead ro the establish-
ment of other lines If successful. The
distance is only 21 miles, and It is
expected that the trip will take about
half an hour. A railway express train
could travel as quickly. As regards
the transfer of maf! rrom steamships,
there seem greater possibilities: sev-
eral hours may be gained.

An outside umpire declares that
New York has cleaner streets than
Chicago. But the western metropolis
is not to be outdone in something su.
perlative. It has smaller mosquitoes
than New York ever dreamed of, and,
moreover, they are a self-culture. So
honors are even.
