poisonous Air in scnoolroo,ms.

The Brooklyn Board of Education seems
equal to that of New York in its faith that
schoolroom air is good enough for any
body's child, for complaints that have been
made of tire foulness OF air in one of the
school buildings have. apparently, fallen
upon deaf ears until they reached the Board
of Health. That body sent sanitary in
spector to the building complained of, and
this official promptly reported the air to be
unhealthful because of the efiuvia OF the
privies. Can not the New York Board of
Health take the hint? The HrnALD will
supply them with numbers and localities

The French Ministry.

Our cable dispatches state that the
French Ministry is constituted" with the
six changes recorded in the telegram-that
is, M. Waddington, who retains the port
folio of Foreign Affairs, became President of
the Council, in place Of NJ. Dufaure, and
Messieurs De Roger, De Marcere, Ferry
Lepere and Admiral Jaureguiberry take re-
spectively the Departments of Justice, In
terror, Public Instruction, Agriculture and
Marine. None Of these statements are so
important rs the omission of any reference
to the War Department. Has there been a
hitch at the last moment on the point of
the retirement of General Gresley? 1t will
be remembered that differences Of opinion
as to the administration Of the reforms in
the reconstruction Of the French army and
as to the retention in great commands of
officers not trusted by the republicans was
the point of departure Of those divergen-
cies which ended III the recent crisis.
General Borel, Secretary of War,
was then elected from the Cabinet,
and it was reported that General Faure was
to take his place but it was given to Gen
eral Gresley. That did not satisfy the
objectors, and the war went on till Mac
Mahon went out. Yesterday it was re-
ported again that Faure was to have the
War Department.. But now we are told the
Cabinet is CONSTITUTED" without any change
as to that post, which implies that there is
another difficulty in the way.

The Position of the Vega.

We feel assured that the perusal of Cap
tain Herendeen's letter to Mr.. Dali, of the
United States Coast Survey. regarding Pro-
fessor Nordenskj5ld and his party. which
we republished yesterday from the columns
of the Erening Post, will quiet the fears of
all friends of the explorers for their safety.
Very many of the vessels sent out with the
numerous expeditions in search of Franklin
and his companions were brought back
safely, although they were not steamers
and were locked in the ice for more
than one season. The British naval
steamers Alert and Discovery returned to
England uninjured after an Arctic winter
in fully ten degrees higher latitude than
that OF the Vegas position, SO that the pos
are very favorable. BUT we must not forget
that even in the event of her loss there is
not any serious danger to be apprehended
for Professor Nordenskj0ld and his compan-
ions. They are in decidedly more favor
able position than were the members of the
Polaris expedition, who took to the boats
after the loss Of that vessel, and their
safety is assured if we compare their chances
of rescue with those of Captain Tyson and
the party that made the great ice foe voy-
age from Smiths Sound far south into
Baflin's Bay.
Payer and weyprecht escaped from Franz
josef Land after being forced to abandon
their vessel away to the northeast of Nova
Zembla and out of reach of all assistance,
because they had attained land by an un-
expected drift of the ice from the south
west, which bore their vessel along in spite
of nll efforts to extricato her. The drift of
the ice in which the Vega is held will be
toward the southeast and open water when
the foes break up, so that even if she is aban-
doned now she will in all probability bo found
by whalers about the northern entrance
of or perhaps in Behring Straits during
the latter part of the summer. 1t is to be
regretted that Professor Nordenskj6ld
missed by SO close pinch the object of his
voyage. which was to pass from the Atlantic

The MILK fM the Cocoon nut.

We suggest to the committee now inquir-
ing into Mr.. Davenport's official acts the
expediency Of making very thorough ex-
animation of that officers accounts. The
fees allowed to him as n Commissioner and
Chief Supervisor, and which il is possible
he may claim from the government in every
case that he has manufactured out Of the
illegal persecution of naturalized citizens,
are as follows -
For administering an oath, ten cents.
For taking an ACKNOWLEDGMENT, twenty
five cents.
For hearing and deciding on criminal
charges, five dollars a day.
For taking and certifying depositions to
file, twenty cents per folio.
For each copy of the same furnished, ten
cents per folio.
For issuing any warrant or writ, one dol
lar.
For issuing summons or subpoena,
twenty-five cents.
For filing and caring for every return,
record, document or other paper required
to be filed by him under the provisions of
the election laws, ten cents.
For affixing seal to any paper, record,
report or instrument, twenty cents.
For entering and indexing the records of
his Office, fifteen cents per folio
For arranging and transmitting to WASH
ington any report, statement, record, re-
turn or examination, fifteen cents per folio.
For any copy thereof or OF any paper on
file, fifteen cents per folio.
It is easy to understand how the manu-
facture OF these naturalization cases may be
made to swell the fees of the Chief Super
visor's Office to an extrnvagant amount
Papers are multiplied in such cases oaths

But his bold attempt has naturally aroused
great interest in his whereabouts, and
makes not only Swedes and Russians, but
ell Europe, over-anxious concerning his
safety. Captain Herendeen and Mr.. Dali,
however. quite express our own views,
that the danger. is exaggerated. and we
trust that news will soon be received that
the explorers are safe and sound among the
friends who go to their relief.

tion of the two will result in superior

tion of the two will result in superior
structure.
In our columns to-day will be found an
expression of opinion in favor of composite
ships, which is fortified by statements that
certainly will bear the test of rigid inves-
tigation. If iron possesses an immense
tensile strength it is subject to changes of
condition due to temperature which operate
disadvantageously on structure wholly
composed of iron. On the other hand,
wood is not so affected, but it lacks
the strength of iron for certain
purposes. If the application Of both
can secure maximum Of strength
and durability and render less .unre-
liable the use of watertight bulkheads,
which are acknowledged to be essential to
ships safety at sea, we think the problem
of shipbuilding is solved. The diagrams
accompanying our article illustrate tho ar
rangement of Longitudinal and transverse
bulkheads, which, it is claimed, will insure
that safety. They are based on the sub
division of the ship into such number of
compartments as will keep her afoat, even
if one or two arc filled with water entering
through ruptured sections of her hull.

day for hearing and deciding them may
be claimed in addition. The committee
ought to ascertain the items and amounts OF
Mr.. Davenport's bills during his whole
term of Office and discover how much these
naturalization cases have cost the country.
Meanwhile, as the accounts OF the Circuit
Court Commissioners and chief supervisors
are paid at the Treasury Department, 1t be-
comes the duty of that department to ln-
quire into the legality of the charges. The
Circuit Court has already pronounced judg.
ment on Mr. Davenport's interference with
citizens who hold naturalization papers
duly issued by a competent court, and has
declared his acts illegal and unjusti6able.
Certainly the Treasury Department has no
right to pay public officer fees for illegal
services, especially if there is ground for
supposing that cases of q questionable
character have been multiplied for the sake
of increasing such fees. Mr.. Davenport's
accounts ought not to he settled without
scrutiny, and he ought to be required to
return to the Treasury any fees lie may
have received for acts illegally performed.

Are Wooden Safer than Iron Ships
The discussion in our columns Of the
safety of vessels at sea bids fair to bring be-
fore the public number Of facts and sug-
gestions of the highest Importance. To a
nation like ours, whose commercial marine
is below the strength which it should bear
in proportion to the population and power
of production of this country, but which
may ut any time be raised TO its maximum
strength by the force Of our commercial
development, all questions relating to snip
construction, and particularly to the i'm
provemcnts therein, must have q special
interest. Between the advocates OF iron
and wooden vessels there is O sharp con-
troversy as to the relative merits OF both
systems of construction. The friends of
iron claim for it certain economic advan-
tages and a strength as patorial which wood
is said not to possess. But the friends OF
the time-honored oak and pine say that
there is more reliance to be placed on these
materials for the building of stanch,
strong and seaworthy ships. We believe
that both classes of material have their
special merits. aud that q proper combina-

Cattle Disease and the Cattle Trade.

Cattle Disease and the Cattle Trade.
Cattle.dealers engaged in the shipment of
animals to England have hade good cause
for uneasiness rs to the prospects of their
trade in some kilograms recently received
by the cable, and if they are wise they
will not put aside as frivolous or ridiculous
the facts brought to their attention in these
circumstances. American cattle arc not
excluded from the English market, but
they can be and will be if the cattle
dealers on this side are Indifferent
to their own interests. It is to the direct
advantage Of an important and influential
class of producers in England to secure the
exclusion of American cattle, because they
are in ruinous competition with British
breeders in their own markets; and it is
easy enough for people on this side to dis
miss the whole subject with sneer at the
projected exclusion, or to say, if the cattle
are excluded, that it will be only one
more instance Of the abuse of the
law in the interest of q class.
But that theory will not do. Public opin-
ion is healthy in England. It influences
the administration far more than with us,
and the government will not dare to do an
arbitrary act to favor British agricultural
interest even; but if diseased cattle are re-
ceived from America they will readily
friends as great help rs they may
on as small a basis Of facts as will sup
port it, Are diseased cattle sent out,
then? That is the point to be certain
about. Rinderpest proper-the Russian
cattle plague of Europe-does not exist
with us; neither does the somewhat similar
malady known in England as the foot and
mouth disease. But pleuro-pneumonia
is certainly kept alive here in some
large stables near great cities. from
which is derived fair proportion
OF the "pure country milk" of COM
merce It does not exist, however, in
the sections from which cattle are
drawn for expectation. There is q posi-
bility, however, that disorder may exist
which jealous functionaries may be able to
mistake for this. Infectious pleuro-pneu-
monia is q fever, and the trouble with the
organs Of respiration is local manifesto
ton of disease analogous to the pneumo-
nia which in man is part of the history
of many cases of typhoid fever. But as
man has pneumonia Of another sort,
so do the cattle-a strictly infammatory
disease, due to exposure, cold and hard
ship. Now this trouble, while not an infec-
tious or pestilential malady, would affect
individuals subject to it in such way as
to give rise to suspicion of the existence
of the infectious pleuro-pneumonia, and it
is probable that some cattle so affected have
gone to England. Cattle which stood in the
cars for days togcther in the great snow
blockade and were frozen and starved could
not have had immunity from this accident.
They should not have been shipped. If
they were, and the fact Injuries our trade, it
will be due to the greed and folly of dealers
themselves, who ought to know that cattle

The WEATHER.-The low barometer ON the
New Brunswick coast is gradually reccding into
the ocean, followed by temporary increase of
pressure and fair to clear weather. But the de-
preston announced rs central in the West has
advanced to the Lower and Central Mississippi
valleys, preceded on its upper margin by light
snow and attended from the Ohio Valley to the
Gulf coast by rains. On the northwest and
east of this depression the barometer is above
the mean, with fair or clear weather, but
the gradients on the former side are SO
steep as to create strong winds and
give indications of further storm
development us the depression advances east
ward. The temperatures ON the Atlantic coast
have varied but little since Monday, but have
risen in the Southern States and in the Ohio
Valley and lower lake region. They continue
low in the West and Northwest, and are vari-
able over the Upper Mississippi and Lower
Missouri valleys. 1t is not ut all improbable
that local storm winds or tornadocs may occur in
the districts between Tennessee and the lakes
and westward of the Allegheny Mountains. In.
deed, the indications in the vicinity of Chicago
point specially to this probability for that To-
cality within the next twenty-four hours. Ex-
ccpt in the West the winds are moderate,
but will increase during today be-
tween the lakes and the Missouri River.
Reports by special cable to the HERALD from
British ports state that very heavy weather has
been experienced in the Atlantic, and many
vessels are arriving damaged. In one case three
seamen were washed overheard. The dcpres-
sion is still moving slowly over the British Isles,
causing southeast winds at the Channel ports.
The weather in New York and its vicinity to-
day will be warmer and fair, followed by in.
srcasing cloudiness, and toward night probably
by rain. Tomorrow 1t will be warm and
cloudy. with rain.
