MAY HAVE BEEN SET AFIRE
MI. Childs Suspects That the "Ledger"
Fire Was of Incendiary origin.

Fire Was of Incendiary Origin.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. S.-George w.
Childs said yesterday that the facts con-
nected with the outbreak of fire in the
Ledger building inclined him to believe
that the blaze was Of incendiary origin.
''It is difficult to believe that any sane
persons would deliberately set the
Ledger building on fire, said Mr.. Childs
yesterday, "and yet do not know how
to account for it satisfactorily otherwise.

manner, it has strange aspect to say
the least The evidence, as far
as gathered, shows that the en-
ployes about the building and the

all very careful and competent, the very
last in fact to cause a fire through any
carelessness on their part. l do not
think they had anything to do with it

any one in particular.

Five New Words.

The following new words with their meanings have been coined by the New York Herald:
 Typine-A typewriting machine. The accent falls upon the last syllable type-een.
 Typer-A male operator on the typine
 Typess-A female operator on the ty- pine,
 To Type-To write on the typine.
 Typoscript-Typewritten, or typewrit' ten manuscript.
 It may aid the memory to state that the first word, "typine," is formed by taking the first and last syllables of the expression, "typewriting machine" and that it means the same as the complete expression. Also that the last one ''typoscript," is formed by taking tho first one and the last two syllables of the expression, typewriter manuscript, and changing, for the sake of euphony the ''u" of the second syllable into an 60.
 There is vacancy in the English vo cabulary which these words fill. The typewriting industry has sprung uT within comparatively short time, but no words have come into general use tC meet the requirements of the new situa ton. A general movement would quickly establish them.

Electricity in Fran ce.

Is electricity dutiable? Can it be stolen? In France it was moot point until a short time ago whether an electricity supply company was societe civile or a societe commerciale, a matter of no little importance to investors, who in the latter case would only be liable for the amount of their shares. A societe commerciale, it appears, is one which has for its principal object "the accom- plishment of acts of commerce" such as buying raw material and reselling it at profit, manufactured or in its nat ural state.
 The Edison company, of St. Etienne, summoned before the tribunal of com merce of that town by one of its cus- toners, declined to submit to the juris- diction of the court on the ground that the supply of electricity from central station did not constitute a commercial act; "the company only sold product which it gathered from nature and which was res nullius." The tribune of commerce nevertheless declared it. self competent to try the case, and on appeal it's decision was upheld, so that in France, at any rate, electricity when supplied from central station must be deemed manufactured article. .-Elec- tricity.

prorressive Tax on Bacherpr..

The bill for staying the depopulation of France, which M. Le Roy is preparing to lay before the chamber, is by no means laughing matter, as the French bachelor of the future may discover. For among it's provisions is proposal to put progressive tax upon bachelors, while, on the other hand, creating a sliding scale of taxation, to be reduced in proportion to the number of children in family.
 M. Le Roy proposes to follow English law in reducing the legal age at which man becomes his own master to twenty one, and in giving a woman the right of compelling the father of her child to recognize and provide for his offspring. It was none too soon that this last pro vision became French law as well as English law.--Pall Mall Gazette.
