 The Apaches are the worst Indians there are and what to do with them is serious question. A correspondent of Tucson journal advocates their removal to some island in the Pacif1 and he calculates the ex- pense of the job at $40, ,oOo, allowing $50 head for bringing them to San Francisco by railroad, and as much more for shipping them to their final destination. He thinks this would be paying specalation, because it costs the government about $2,00O, ,O0o a year to guard and feed these Indians where they are. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from Paschal, New Mexice' says: s'The remedy for all the existing trouble will be found in making the Indian policy of the government more elastic and adapting it to the special cases with which it has to deal. Some Indians can be civilized, others cannot, or at least not in this century. And for these latter there is no other way than to adopt the sternest military rule and make the punishment for violation of it quick, certain and terrible. The Apaches cannot be civilized, and the only safety with them lies in confning them to the reservation under penalty of instant death if found absent from it. At the same time, for every white man killed by them an Apache should be put to death. Above all, they should be deprived of their arms and every Indian found with one should be put to death. Moreover, every white man found guilty of furnishing arms to Apaches should be tried by martial law and, if found guilty, shot" These are harsh measures, but those who live near the Apaches will not see anything too harsh in them.
 There axe twenty one companies in New York which use wires for the transmission of electric currents, and most of their wires run above ground. Under this system the loss by breaking of wires and decay of poles is so great that it is estimated that the entire plant has to be renewed every ten years at loss of from sixty to seventy five per cent. of the old material It is evident that if all the wires could be run under ground in common viaduct it would be cheaper for the companies than the present plan, and much more convenient for the public. The great difficulty which stands in the way of a change is that of in duction. When several wires carrying elec- tric currents of different degrees of strength are brought into proximity with each other, the stronger currents impair the efficacy of the weaker currents. Thus, if an electric light wire, which carries 8 strong current, were placed in proximity to a telephone wire, which carries very feeble current, the lat ter would be rendered practically useless. There are many devices for preventing in- duction, but the application of these pro- a1ces retardatiun, which fs -an impeachment scarcely less serious to usefulness. There are about $50 patent devices for getting rid of these and other electrical difficulties, but none of them is capable of giving the desired relief. A committee on underground com munication, composed of representatives of eight electric light and electrical companies, has been in existence in New York for some time, and it is now proposed to enlarge this committee by inviting the co operation of the telegraph, telephone, district messenger, and all other companies engaged in transmitting electricity for any purpose. A meeting is to be held tomorrow and this meeting will take into consideration the ap- pointment of committee on scientific work, which will have power to invite the co oper- ation of eminent scientific men and inven- tors in regard to overcoming the difficulties hoped that some way to remove the wire nuisance in cities will speedily be found and applied.
