A Sore That Will Not Heal.
T
-HE RE-OPENING of the
Schley scandal by the dis
covery that Maclay's "His
tory of the Navy," used us a
tet book at Annapolis, attacks Real
Admlial Schley bltteily for cowatdlie
and falsehood in connection with the
Santiago sea campaign puts the navy
depattment to some embarrassment
For. ns the Atniv and Navy Journal
arks. "If this thlid volume Is added
at Annapolis, with the sanction of the
Navy department, will not the cadets
when they read it ask themselves what
punishment was bclowed upon th'(i
naval officer who will thus be iharged
by the department, by indirection at
least, with helng a cowatd and a Hat
nnd with turning his back upon the
enemy In the ctlls of a gieat naval
battle? Turning to the tecords of the
Navy department, they will find that
not one word of official censute was
bestowed upon this recreant officer,
that, on the contrary, he tcielved the
same precognition and reward as thoso
concerning whose conduct no question
has be;n talserl. that Is, commendation
In orders and promotion by numbers."
Thetlanguage used by Maclay In at
tackliiE Schley Is unjudicial and unbo
comlnft In a hlstoilcal natratlve. For
example!
In his report -ibout the coal tupplv of the vea.
fell under his command Schlej exhibited either
a timidity amounting to absolute lowardice or
previtlcation ot facta that were intrinsically
faliehoodj (Vol ill, p 2M). Schley on May 2,

danger (pot toward which duty, honor and the
whole American people were most earnestly

This, as the PhlkdelphU Ledger,
Schley pdmlrer, says, is "par-
tisan history" nnrt therefore not
hlntory at nil. Hence the third
volume of Maclay cannot become
a cla book In the United States Naval
academy. Nevetthelesa the principal
nvennents In It ate rustalned by the
iccotds of the navy department; rind
there will be ombiriasumpnt to the ofll
rials of that department as Imiff ns

mlnlsttatlnn to gloss over the conduct

Of Electricity' from Coal.
A FEW DAYS ago announcement
was made from Chicago that
a chemist of that city, Hugo
'Jone, "had found a wa to
produce electiklty dliect ftom coil and
solved the problem that Kdlson and
other electricians had been vvoiklng
on." .Mr. .lone has taken out n patent on
his dlscoveij or Invention, and ceitaln
ly believes that he Is at least close to
the solution of the problem of obtain
ing electilcltj on a lommciilal scnlc
dliect fiom coal by chemical means,
If he has not actually at lived there.
Klectilcal engineers ate, of couise,
profoundly Interested In Mr. Jonc's
claim, but the consensus of expression
from them so tar Is one of doubt, If
not of entile unbelief In the com
mciclril value of his process, although
no one doubts the young Investigator
and lnventot s good faith in the mat
ter. For half a century this ptoblem ha
been wrestled with by scientific men.
As recalled In the lapt two or three
days, riecciuered In 185,", Jablochkoff In
the later seventies, and, latei than
these, Dr. Borchers In Germany, Prof.
Crocker of Columbia Unlveislty, W.
Yv Jaquos of the Hell Telephone com
pany, YVIlllaid T Case of Aubuin, and
many other prominent electilclans be
sides Mr, Kdlson have been tor ears
peeking to obtain electricity on a 'cale
that will pay by the chemical dissolu
tion of coal. Some have had p.titMl
success, but not one has been able to
pioduce a batteiy that It would pay
any one to put on the maiket.
The scientists all believe that such
.i coal batteiy can jet be perfected.
Pot haps Ali. .lone has done It. If so,
fame and wealth await him. nut the
electi clans who have been fttudjlng the
description of his patent, .is given by
one oC the cdtoilal staff of the Klec
trkal World and Engineer, sajs that
In tho Chicago man's dlscoveiy "the
electrical energy comes Horn chemical
action In the metnls whkh ho uses and
that heat fiom the coal simply assists
the action." Mr. T. C. Martin, the editor
In chief of the Electi leal Woild, is cei
talnly not hopeful ot any economical
value of the new dlscoveij and patent.
For the Now Yoik Tilbitno icports him
as "having looked Into them" and c-aj -Ing:
"This Chicago man has made a
new battery whkh siens to combine
the dlsachanlagcs of the two old
sj stems. I do not believe It will have
any considerable beating upon the so
lution of the gieat electi leal question,
the generation of electi iclty dliect lioni
coal with the production of heat. These
attempts aie pralsewoithy and should
be encouraged. It Is thiough them that
the difficult pioblem will eventual! be
solved."
After all this, the public will wait
with consldeiablo doubt to see whether
the djnamo has et been supeiseUcd.
St. Louis' special coiic-piiiulciiic
pays that the 103 cxposiilon In that
city In centennial comnieinotatlon of
the "Louisiana Putcha-o" by Ptesldent
Joffetson, maj have no Midwaj, The
teason is thus set foitli: "When the
dltectois ot the St, Louis Woild's Fair
visited Euh'alo to dodliiito the Louisi
ana Pmch.it-e building, they studied
Huffnlo's Midway with an eo to St.
Louis peiformnnccs in that Held. Their
tialn was slde-tiacked In the giounds,
within a stone's thiovv of the entiance
of the Mldwa, and they had ample
opportunity to observe that Institution
bj- day and by night. On seveial oc
casions the dltectois dlsiusscd tl.e in
fluence which the massing of the con
cessions had on the diameter of the
exhibitions nnd the advisability of
omitting at St. Louis some of the ex
hibition that had become Midway fl
tutes, even to the extent of abandon
Ing the Midway altogether" London
and Pails and Philadelphia in the
earlier days ot successful World's
Falis, It will be lemembered, got along
vety well without that featuie.
Mr. Carnegie has done wisely In
finally ni ranging, with icgard to his
much dlBCttfvsed gift to the Scottish
universities, that the trustees may ie
ceive funds fiom ntheis, to bo ad
mlnlsteied with his donation. Ills
reason for this nnangment Is thus
given In his letter to the ttustees an
nouncing that he had signed the deed
placing Jlo.OOO.OOCi at their disposal. "1
believe this to be a valuable clause,
since my expeilence of young men In
dicates that many ate glad of the op
poitunlty later In life to repay advances
thus tecelved, although theso aie fiee
gifts. I hope the titistees will gladly
tecelve any such contilbutlons, nnd
that this will foster the spit It of manly
Independence so dear to the Siot."
We fall to sco nny point to the state
ment made by a Philadelphia news
paper w titer, In commenting on tho
discovery mado last winter by Italian
soldiery looting In China, of a Chin
ese tieasury note ptlnted from movable
type In 13H7, that "the claims leccntly
set fnith for Gutenbttrg can In Justice
be nllowed only In u limited sense."
Gutenberg's discovery of movable type
was ns completely his own as the
Chinese discoverer's was his, since
neither Gutenbeig nor any other Euio
pean had any knowledge ot the Chin
ese discovery. "In Justice" the Euto-
pean'n claim to original discovery or
Invention Is ns absolute ns that ot
the eailler Oriental.

nllke of great Increase of the water

thoughts, andfor the direct Influence
otherwise of fotests upon ullmate, will
enforce itself before many more yeats
upon the people of the whole land.
A new pest has been discovered
working havoc among the maple
trees lipieabouts. This Insect has evi

years noting at the titinks of thettecs.
Persons observing maiks upon their
ttees, which look like lows of gimlet
holes, will do well to spiny the trunks
nt onco with fir tree oil soap suds. In
most cases they will find that each
opening contains n lly tescmbllng a
wasp, which has been developed in the
four-Inch hole made in the ttee by the
boter.
One of the most thoughtful and val
uable papeis lead befoie the Natlonnl
Educational association this year was
that of Dr. Fiancls Burke Brandt,
professor of pedagogy In the Central
High sihool of Philadelphia, upon
"The State and Its Duty to the De
fective Child." Philadelphia's special
schools for such children are drawing
much attention.
A pastor at Suffolk, Va has of
feied to furnish new clothes for those
of his congregation who claim that
they aie "too shabby" to attend church
at this season of the year. The olfer

The agricultural falts are beginning
to book themselves for the coming sea
son. Taking of Notes at
the Pan-flmerican
IT WAS AT the Woild's Fair that
I remember seeing a woman tak
ing notes. She was in the Liberal
Arts building and was of a tpye that
one couldn't but wonder what sort
of notfc a woman like that would
take, she had i cached the Russian
division, wheie the exhlhlt was mag
nificent Indeed. Inadvertently, of
couise, I happened to bee what he
was wilting as we stood side by side
at tho lading behind which was the
wonderful Jade furnltuie, with the
translucent table-tops, tho gorgeous
cabinets.
This headed the page In her note
book. "Roosliy Lots of red and
greeen things here."
Naturally one was also compelled to
wonder what kind of a mental vision
this succinct memoranda would call
up In her mind after her return.
Would she sit with her famllv around
the lamp In some niral home and,
leafing over this little book, would
she bo nble to descitbe the splendors
of tho White City tiom these some
what remarkable notes? Or was she
it liub-woman, who later on would
constiuct a clever paper from her
mcagie niatetial.'
o
At Buffalo, the note-taking Is
equally engnglng' to a quiet observ
oi. Shoals of teachers are dlscoveied
111 the buildings wheio school woik
is exhibited, Inditsti lously scribbling
down ever possible detail that seems
to them new nnd Intel estlnc. One
would think that the tlied cieatures,
worn out otter n long year of ncrve
racklnc work, would want to go nnd
visit the peimanent camp, where the
many handsome ofllrcis are to be
seen, or walk dovvff the Mldwnv and
look nt the mutasiope pilze fight, or
go up In the balloon, or do almost
anything except the same old things
they have been iolng for ton months
pist. But no! Cheio they .ate, en
deavoring moie completely to stuff
their alreulv overci ov ded bialns and
gain additional Information to lav
ish on a perverse generation of
youngsters who don't half nppteclate
the modem day methods of acquir
ing knowledge. Yet there are school
dltectois who complain about "the
lack of professional zeal" displayed
by teachers. What they ought to do,
these blessed teachers, Is to go to
tho Pin-Ameiican nnd leave the
everlasting shop behind them, for
once; to tide on the camels In the
Stieets of Cairo and the elephants In
Rostock's; take a trip to tho Moon or
go on the "Flip-flap" l.illway even
but I'm not so sure about that.
Of all the fiendish contrivances ever
devised by the heart of man, or his
brain, that "Flip-flap," or "Loop the
Loop," or "Loup Oaron," or what
ever Its satnplc name may be. Is the
most utterly demonlac.il. It Is a
soit or deceitful toboggan thing,
which staits off harmlessly enough
nnd takes you to a high plane, down
which your car rushes, to fly around
a loop like the letter "1" In script,
where part ot tho time jou must
necessarily bo upsldo down. Of
course, you are spcuioly tied to tho
car, but tho sensation must be novel,
to say tho least. As encouiasement
for those who expect to tiy this
spoiles of entertainment, It might le
mentioned that nobody has tumbled
out of tho "Loop the Loop" In Buf
fnlo us vet, nnd only n few have had
that eperlenco at Coney Island,
wheie the Invention was first ex
ploited It Is situated outsldo the
exposition grounds, In what Is known
as the "Fieo Midway." The pattou
ago as yet consists chiefly of men,
whoso feminine relatives stand
screaming on tho platfiom, while
their husband, brotheis or sweet
hearts mako the exciting tup,
Buffalo Bill will be In his name city
In September. He didn't propose to go
Into the Exposition grounds as a con
coifr.lonalre and pay the exorbitant
rates, so very early In the stage of the
game lie secured a lease of a Urge
tract of ground Just outside the gfttes
where he reaps a rich and continual
harvest from these "Free Mldvyiy"
tenants to whom lie sublet the front
age of his estate. Coming here himself
In September to remain some weeks,
his Wild West show will have the best
possible location nnd will be sure of
great patronage, nil of which shows
Colonel Cody's astuteness.
But this Is wandering from the
school tencheis nnd their note-books.
Other Teople beside the teachers take
notes In profusion. There was n stnte
ly, beautiful woman In the Fisheries de
partment one day who was surrounded
by a troop of obsequious adorers, ap
parently. They followed every look
and anticipated every unexpress
ed wish. She looked like n duchess, no
less, nnd people began to gather In that
vicinity nnd display more Interest
than even the attractions of the double
headed fish and tho silver tiout of Cali
fornia seemed to warrant. There were
other ladles In the group, but people
saw only one, this elegant patrician
figure In the long black taffeta dust
cloak. She wrote persistently In an
Ivory bound tablet, and finally giving
It over to one of tho men who followed
her with such icspcctful gaze said In a
tone which, did not disappoint you, so
low was It, and sweet, "You may go and
buy all those fish, no matter where they
are to bo found or how difficult the
task." He bowed low nnd took the
little book and tho party passed on.
o
Now this being a tiue story I am
constrained to say that no doubt you
will be disappointed to know that she
was not a celebrated danscuse or a
famous star of the operatic stage. She
was one of the few entitled to wear a
coronet, for she was a leal great lady
from over the border, whose lineage,
noble and proud, Is read with awe by
Anglo-maniacs. Representatives of the
king, she and her titled husband were
preparing to stock an ncquarlum In the
governor general's gardens nnd her
notes were for the enriching of this In
teresting collection.
o
Close behind the part j piowled a lit
tle near sighted man with spectacles,
who never glanced at the fish and had
no eyes for the bones of the Mound
Bulldeis. Ho wandered with his open
note book Into tho Horticultural build
Ing and amid the riot of color and
luscious odors, the big npples nnd
sti aw berries, be only walked about
dejectedly, unseeing and apparently
disgusted, because he was on the chase
of stiange hugs and insects nnd had
blundered Into the wrong place. He
was nn entomologist and life for him
was nothing without bugs. Sometimes
I think It is hettet to be no "ogollst" of
any kind or vailety, but Just to be glad
you aie alive and able to see the good
that Is in the world on eveiy side, enjoy
it and be happy. II. C. P.

EDUCATIONAL CONTEST 1
This action is taken for the purpose of protecting legitimate
contestants and preventing the possibility of any speculator from
entering the last day or two and purchasing a $1,000 scholarship
by presenting the names of his friends as new subscribers and
paying for them himself. While nothing of this sort was attempted
last year, the close of the contest demonstrated that it would have
