pliances with which they are rendered effective
have been made none too soon. The careless
ness and greed of the fishermen have long
since practically destroyed our coast fishing
grounds, and their ruinous influence has been
felt in Canada and Newfoundland as well.
Legislation has done something to prevent the
use of nets and hooks that destroy immature
fish, but legislation cannot undo the damage
that such tackle has already done. These
hatcheries must be relied upon for that and 1t
is reassuring to know how successfully the
Dido Island operations are proceeding.

Americans will keenly enjoy the interview we
nrint this morning with ex-senator Warner
Miller concerning the progress his company has
made in the construction Of the Nicaragua
Canal. That so much has been done in so short
while, considering the uncountabe embarrass-
ments which the country presents to great
work of the kind, is decidedly remarkable.
Senator Mler's industry and zeal are wolthlly
occupied, nor is il too much to say that IN biiSi-
ness ability. sound judgment, resolution and re-
source he possesses capital that could with
difficulty be duplicated among the men who
were available to become the head OF this
splendid project. The work of preparation is
nearly as arduous and costly as the work OF ex-
cayating the canal, but a considerable part OF
il has been completed, and it is moving forward
with rapidity and an intelligent apprehension
of what is actually required which are strongly
in contrast with the methods and results that
obtained in the sthmus. Senator Miler's work
is National DIS well as commercial and the
American people will hope to celebrate It's sue
cess at the earliest possible date.
Lord Salsbury's formal offer to submit the
Behring Sea controversy TO arbitration recalls
s0me passages in the recently published corre-
spondence between our State Department and
tic British Foreign Office which show that this
method of settling the dispute has already re-
ceived some attention. In the Associated Press
abstract Of the correspondence there was not
room for the letters which considered arbitra-
ton. nor were they Immediately pertinent.

way of an arbitration. The dispute arises upon
questions of law rather than of fact. In the
property to which they relate, only the United
States. Great Britain and Russia are primarily
interested. Int the interests of every maritime
country are involved in the manner and form
in which these questions may be decided. An
award would determine the whole issue OF
marine jurisdiction beyond the conventional
limit, and it is question whether any deter
mination of that issue that did not obtain gen.
eral acquiescence would or should be binding.
Newfoundands experiments in the artificial

how to appreciate the wonderful operations al

how to tell of them entertainingly. The New

us in that it completes the demonstrations which

The Soldering Machine.

There is some talk here, says Doyles-
town Penn.) correspondent of the New
York Times, about reviving the ''sober-
ing machine" Forty years ago it was a
familiar piece of mechanism. Simple in
construction, durable in use, it served its
purpose we'll and effectively. In those
days a drunken man was rare sight. A
few citizens of this place remember it
well. "Jack" Reynolds was one of the
men who manned the machine, and he re-
collects when it did yeoman service. But
the persons who fell victims to it are too
modest to recall its purifying effects.
i devised %is gear Ii
seS an e5dRasT in and box fastenea to the axle
Sobriety was the watchword of the half
dozen men who ran it. Whenever Il
drunken man or woman was seen on the
street the machine was brought out. The
victim was placed on the broad of his
back in the box. Then the command
was given and the occupant was run out
of town. 1t was seldom that man got
the second dose of the "sobering ma
chine" The tramps soon got to dread
the ride of mile or so, and they never
returned after the first experience. The
wife bcater Jared the same, and its in
flucncc had salutary effect on this class
Of people. The old inhabitants say that
the "sobering machine of nearly a half
century ago was much more effective than
the threats and violence of the White
Caps of the present day.
