Professor H. b. Adams, of Johns Hopkins,
took occasion yesterday at Chautauqua to eX-
pound the subject of University Extension,
which he traced back to a teachers ASSOCIATION
in England twenty -four years ago. 1t was a
tiny germ, though, at that time, which is Just
now being developed into movement OF large
scope and importance. Professor Adams 1t
will be noticed, commended in the strongest
way the action of the New-York Legislature in
appropriating $4,000 for this work, by ad-
visinc his hearers to induce the Legislatures OF
other States to 90 and do likewise.

A fire which occurred in lower Broadway
yesterday morning is attributed to an electric
light wire. 1t is not certain that it was started
by the current of electricity, but the probabil-
tiles point in that direction, and the danger
from this source that exists in thousands of
places throughout the city is thus called forcibly
to public notice. When long period of i'm
munity from accidents from electricity occurs,
people are apt to lose sight of the peril that
nevertheless constantly exists. 1t is well to
have attention fastened upon this subject now

The question of salvage for towing the Servia
back to port is one that the courts must pass
upon So far as appears no attempt was made
by the owners of the two vessels to strike a
bargain by themselves Nor is any specific
sum claimed in behalf of the Chester in the
libel which has been filed. Numerous cOnsid-
erations not apparent on the surface affect the
issue, such as the danger from which the dis
abled vessel was rescued, the risk incurred by
tho reScuer, the time consumed, etc. The value
of the vessels is another point to be taken into
account. On the whole, the question is some

The c6ntest between the rose and gOlden-rod fol
the honor of being the State flower of New-York
has been triumphantly decided in favor OF the rose
At tbe meeting of the State Teachers Association
in Saratoga, on Tuesday evening, Superintendent
DRAPER had the honor Of announcing that the rose
had won by q majority CT SS,4l4 out OF total
vote of something over half million. The mum
ber OF votes cast for the rose was 204,Sl6, while
the rolden-rod came along with 2O6,4O2. Inc
vote was taken on Arbor Day, which fell this
year on Nav g. So far as we know, there was 10
speclal eectioneering, and there has not been q
brooth of suspcion as to the complete fairness OF
tbe e1ccticn. The result represents the unpur-
chased opinion of the school children OF the En-
nIre State That il is so decisive must be gratlly-
inr even to the ardent supporters OF the rival OF
the rose And at all events, ii must be admitted
an all hands that the successful flower is entirely
worthy of the honor which has been bestowed
nnon H. It will he remembered that the golden
rod was the favOrite when the polls opened. Inc
first vote upon this question was taken on Aroor
Dov last wear. with the result that the goden-rod
led with 81 1903 votes, while the rose came IN
second with 1866 in it's favor. large NUMBER
Of other flowers were also entered, including the
pansv the lily, the lilyof-the-valley, the trailing
orbutus and the buttercup; and scattering" re-
ceived no less than 2O045 votes. Superintendent
Draper kindly explained, however, that scatter
inop included 12l different varieties OF nowers'
Thus n is evident that there was full and falr
competition and that the rose has won solely by
reason of superior merit. The contest this year
was properly confined to the two chief competitors.

ever The Rose is Queen among the Flowers"

Something almost exactly like it was in
vented when Edison was barely out Of his
cradle, and more or less dim premouitions
of the modern marvel haunted the minds
of men centuries ago In the year 1859 the
famous Able Migne read a paper before
the British association describing an in
strumcnt called a "phonautograph, which
had but short time before been invented
by a young Frenchman, NJ. +. l.. Scott.
This instrument was still in the rough,
however, and the able went on to explain
that while it was fairly successful with
musical sounds, the human voice presented
certain difficulties. Nevertheless he had
little doubt that eventually the phonau-
tograph would register for future genera
tons not only the words but the very tones
of famous actors and orators.-St. Louis
