sisted with an industry worthy of q better
cause, educating himself on the subject of ex-
plosives.
The first serious progress made by these
revolut0nists was the discovery of illuminate
of mercury, which substituted percussion caps
for the antique flint. FHlminate of mercury is
the white Substance which is placed inside of
the caps and explodes when heavily struck.
1t also increases the expansive power of the
powder one-quaTter.
The tremendous power concealed in these
little caps was well illustrated recently in
Paris, where, in the Rue Berenger, number of
boxes were stored containing diminutiye ex-
plosive caps for children's toy pistols. One of
the boxes was dropped or Jared, aud its con-
tents exploded. and in their turn the other
boxes, with the result that six houses were re-
duced to ruins.
Then came the invention of nitro-glycerine.
The cap increased the explosive power of pow
der one-quarter. but nitro glycerine increased
is 800 per cent. Its power to explode every
where and under almost any conditions re-
moved the necessity for combining it in any
closed covering, such as a cartridge.
This fact was made use of by the anarchist
Matthew, who blew up the Restaurant Very in
Paris over year ago. Matthew filed an ordi-
nary valise with dynamite, attached fuse to
it. and quietly slipped il under a table in the
restaurant for IL 10 20 OF when it got ready.
When the famous RavachOl blew up the house

destruction merely common iron kettle that
had been employed in the peaceful duty of
making soup for him during his rational days
This he filled with dynamite. pct in the Gus
tomary fuse, and the house very shortly after
ward sailed skyward. The fuse does not act
directly on the dynamite, but ignites small
quantity of powder. which explodes, and the
conclusion brings about the greater explosion
of the nitro glyeerine.
Recently the anarchists have discovered and
made use Of an improved method of blowing
people up. They have employed nitric acid
and carbonate of sulphur.
These two liquids wien kept apart are not
dangerous. and can be handled with perfect
safety and recklessness by anyone; but so soon

. The Globe Endorsed.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Your editorial on Robert Ingersoll in
yesterdays GLOBE has the right rins to
1t. Mr.. Ingersoll does not merit to be
taken at his word, and the GLOBE has
treated him according to his deserts.
While the geDtleman's arguments are
as Indefinite and Intangible as the star
dust OF the nebular hypothesis. L must
agree with the GLOBE in saving that
the lionizlng of such an Individual does
incalculable mischief.
Mr.. lngelsoll proves nothing and re-
flutes nothing, and yet by some strange
fatality he is heralded as a prophet of
anbelief. There is no use in wailing at
people for going to hear such men and
paying good money for the privilege.
This is a free country. and people may
do as they like in such matters. And
yet the GLOBE is right; such an ovation
Is a dangerous object lessen to the youth
of the land.
&ApropoS, allow me to transcribe a re-
port Just at hand from Paris of an event
that took place the other day in the
French academy.
As is generally known. It'll the Gus
tom in the French academy for a new
member on taking possession of a va
cant chair to deliver a formal address
in praise OF its former occupant.
1t therefore became the task of
M. Chaliemel Lacour, who was elected
to succeed NJ. Renan. to fulfill the GUS
tOnlary observance at his reception.
Such a speech had not been heard
within the walls of the academy for
many years. M. Renan was simply
pulYerlZed by another free thinker.
Amid applause and approving laughter,
then new member pointed out that Renan
although talented, was unworthy of
esteem, that his works were wanting in
veracity, that no M could offer his life
as an example or establish rules out of
his Heetlng and inconsistent doctrines.
His systems were unfit to be put into
practice. In a word, neither the
writer nor his work could be taken
seriously. Renan was an amuSer, and
amused himself above all. He occupied
himself by demoliSEing most important
and necessary truths and beliefs.
and in their place he built
up Utopian systems in which
he did not himself believe. A
mystifer who attacks sacred things
and even vital principles for his own
amusement and gain, to show off his
literary style and philosophical ingenui-
ity. and thereby sows the seed of doubt
without understanding to build up
where he has destroyed, is a charlatan
and a criminal.
This is a brief summary Of a speech
which has taken Paris by storm, and
fatally damaged the reputation of the
erstWhile lion Renan.
This may be taken as an antidote to
Ingersolism. and, if any other is
needed, l would suggest Father Lam
bert's notes on 1ngersoll. OF, just as
good. the editorial of yesterdays GLOBE.

anXiously awaiting a full bench, and ia
the meantime important cases have
been fixed for hearing at such time as
the new justice should take his place on
the bench. These cases were finally set
for March 5, in the hope that a nomira-
ton and confirmation might be made by
that time.
The records show that the accession
of Justice White to the bench leaves
New York state without 4 representa-
tive in the court for the first time since
1906, the only exception since the court
was established. The exact succession
from New York is as follows:
John Jay (chIef jaStice). 1889 to 1874;
BrockhoiSt Livingstone, 1906 to 1923;
Smith Thompson, 1928 to 1913; Samuel
Nelson. 1S45 to 1872; Ward Hunt, 1872
to 1892; Samuel Blatchford. 1882 TO 1893.
The justices and officials of the SD
preme u are especially gratIied at
the choice of Justice White. He has
been much among them, and there
were hopes expressed as far back as
the rejection of HoInblower, that the
Louisiana senator would be chosen.
This was due mainly TO the fact that
the court has lacked all authority on
he civil law embraced in the Justinian
and later the Napolenic code. ALI of
the states of the Union, except Lou
iSiaua. found their laws on English
common law, but Louisiana founded
her system on the Napole0nic code,
which came from the Roman civil law.
When the late Justice Bradley was on
the bench he made a study OF the evil
law, and spent much time in Louisiana
for this purpose. He became the au-
thority III the court ON such questions.
but since bis death all of the justices
have been common law lawyers"
Justice White now comes equipped with
an experience at the bar and on the
bench of Louisiana under their civil

SophomOres Play a Dastardly
Trick on fhe Freshmen.
ITHACA, N. Y, Feb. &c. -Tonight this
village passed through another annual
class riot. The occasion was the
freshmen banquet at the old Masonic
ihall on Tioga street. For a week pre-
'vions the under class men have been at
5 swords points. Numerous hazings have
occurred; more than once has the spirit
o~utreached its proper bounds. On IN
Occasion Il sophomore, who was attacked
by a crowd of freshmen. drew a revolver
aud snapped away at the trigger, but
found to his disappointment that the
weapon was empty. Tonight. how
ever, the spirit reached its heightli.
The city officials, recognizing approach
ing trouble, trebled the regular police
force and added a large number OF
specials. The freshmen congregated
on the campus and started down the
hill TO have their feast. When they
reached the hall where they were to
hold their banquet, they were met by
400 or 500 ~sophomores, ''townies" and
seniors, who proceeded to prevent their
entrance to the building.
Potatoes. eggs. stones, and what not
flew fast and thick. In the melee two
of the ruSherS were seized by the police
men, and quickly dragged to the station,
where they were locked up While the
multitude was following the Off
GERS, trying to effect the escape
of the prisoners, the. fresh
men quietly stole up the stairs
and held their spread, after which they

Later the sophomores committed Il das-
tardly trick on the freshmen, uoXious
odors Filing the air, and the hall vas
emptied. Several were carried out i'll

that their enemies placed asafoetida
IN their food and generated chlorine gas
about the hall.
A corps of physicians was summoned.
Prompt efforts were made 10 resuscitate
the ~asphyXiated students by the appli-
cation OF ammonia and StimulantS. The
freshmen are wild with rage and the
banquet has been suspended. Several
walters were overpowered, and others
are almost wild with pain.
The hall is in possession of police, who
are r~ansacklng the corridors and side
rooms to find the source OF the gas.

ing he discovered flames issuing from
the laundry of the institution, located
in the basement of the building in
which the unfortunates of the state are

owing to the lack of water, and the
building was destroyed. From the mo-

shouts and cries for aid were pitifnl.
At fifteen minutes past 6 o'clock the

without loss of life. The burned build
