Ir has long been a subject of won

II has long been a subject OF wonder, in
view of the many crimes which have been
committed under the compartment system
in English railroads, that the latter has not
given way to the more practicable and safer
American railway cars. The construction OF
the English railroad cars, in which separate
compartments make it possible at any time
for two men, strangers to one another, to be
locked up alone, is plainly the main help to
the robberies and murders which have been
perpetrated. In such isolated com partments
1t is easy for bold criminal to watch his op-
portunity and take his unsuspecting fellow
traveller at a hopeless disadvantage They
have but one alleged safeguard, aud that has
never yet proved effective. There is OF
course, a signal or train-cord in every com.
p~rtment but naturally the first object OF an
Intending robber is to prevent his victim
from making use Of this means of protection
As most people go to sleep at some stage OF a
long railroad journey, chlorossrm can gen.
orally be employed TO advantage. In this,
as in many other things, our English cousins
will do well to study the American system
OF railway travel.

THE emperor Of Austria yesterday opened
new cavalry barracks at Pesth in commemo-
ration Of the taking of Buda from the Turks.
This event marked the turning point I'm the
struggle against the Turks, just as the taking
OF Buda by the Austrians in 1913 marked the
crisis of the Austro Hungarian struggle. In
fact Buda has always seemed the centre
around which the whirlpool OF war has
revolved and has stood no less than twenty
seiges; although in modern warfare its
strategic importance is not so great, yet con-
siderable attention has been given to its
defense as the seat OF alsrge cannon foundry
and arsenal. The winning of Buda from the
Turks was accomplished mainly by the
charges OF heavy squadrons OF cavalry upon
the tTurkish infantry, and is memorable in
military history as one OF the last instances
In which the use ofcavalry in this way proved
successful. 1t is therefore proper that the
victory should be commemorated by the
erection OF cavalry barracks, as the useful
ness OF this branch remains as great as ever,
although the infantry now bear the main
shock of battle.

The Festive Scdgvick.

They bring in tale from Mexico as to
how Mr.. Sedgwick, the legal expert sent
down by Mr.. Bayard to Mexico, TO find out
all about the Mexican statutes relating to
the Cutting case, was invited on his arrival
10 club supper and how he became con-
vivial and did not go home till morning, nor
even when daylight did appear, but some
where about two o'clock in the afternoon !;
and that he was covered with garlands and
generally was very gay Sedgwick for the
time being although when at home is a
very different man and very studious law
yer and never drinks drop.
1t is quite likely that this tale is true
about Mr.. Sedgwick, though perchance
elaborated somewhat. We see no reason
TO dispute it. 1t runs quite in the nature
of lawyers, diguified learned and altogether
imposing at the bar and in general society
in daylight at home.
1t is lust wonderful how they change
abroad, or when they gather around fes-
tive board with the doors shut and no re-
porters around. Anyone who has ever
seen the Lancaster bar at its an
the institution he sees in court not
at all, would he. And it is the most re-
spectacle, dignified, sober and stiff of
them on the other S6i days in the year
who are the limberest on this day. The
certificate of dignity and sobriety which
Mr.. Sedgwick' S friends at home give him,
won't save his bacon, nor satisfy any
body that brother Sedgwick was not drunk
in Mexico.
But what of it Mr.. Sedgwick WAS not
our ambassador to Mexico. He carried no
credentials even to Minister Jackson. He
was simply a lawyer looking up the law
who fell among a band of bloods who con-
spired to get him drunk and had an easy
time of it, because he was dignified law.
yer, not used to wines that is the kind OF
man that comes TO deepest grief about the
festive board on the rare occasions when
he gets there.

The Suu's EcliDse.

The chief interest in the observations of
the eclipse made on sunday will centre on
the spectroscopic cobseryationsof the corona,
and the emanations from the sun at the
time of the total eclipse. The prominences
that surround the solar disc are visible at
all times, but of course are much more
readily observed when the sun is darkened.
The eclipse also makes it possible for as
tronomers to work with the spectroscope
upon the gaseous vapors that surround the
sun. The spectrum of the sun is series of
black lines on white ground, but when the
sun is darkened by eclipse so that an observa-
tion Of its corona can be taken, the colored
lines are seen. From these it has been
determined that there are sixteen metals
that are found on earth, although two
OF them, rubidium and titanium, are
very rare. Hydrogen is also prominent and
oxygen is almost certainly established as
present. AL this and much more has been
revealed to us $4,000 900 of miles away by
means Of the spectroscope and now the
observations look not so much to the de-
termination of the elements in the sun, al
though there is hope of the discovery OF
others, as to the determination of the ma.
ture OF the sun spots and prominences.
