United States District Attorney

United States District Attorney e.
P. Ineham has been directed to begin
new proceedings for the condemna-
tion for government uses of certain
parts of the battlefield at Gettys
burg, now occupied by the Gettys-
burg electric railroad. The previous
attempt to block the way of the
trolley was unsuccessful because of
a legal technicality. This has been
removed by the Sickles bill, which
was hurried through Congress and
has met the approval Of the Presi-
dent. AS we suggested when the
previous proceedings were begun,
there are two sides TO this question
and the present status of things
should lead to compromise ar
rangement by which the interests of
all concerned may be served. The
battlefield at Gettysburg is quite
extensive. and cannot well be gone
over on foot in the limited time
which most people are able to give
it. To go over it in carriages is ex-
pensive and the hackmen have
acquired reputation for extortion-
ate charges. The trolley then
would be great convenience to
thousands of visitors. On the other
hand no point or position OH tue
field should be maTed or desecrated
as the present route of the trolly
would mar. It is entirely prac
ticable to preserve the field intact
and at the same time give the trolly
n right of way. This is the proper
solution of the ve1ed problem, and
now that the government has the
matter in it's own hands we ex-
pect that such an arrangement will
be made.

Part of the growing difficulties oc-

be remedied, perhaps, by six years

able when conducted scientifically
and on large scale, and is causing it
1 to attract the attention of city people
who long for the healthful fields.
Only the bodily discomforts of farm
work have prevented an exodus from
the cities to the country. Already
electricity is turning it's attention to
! the long-neglected farm work, and has
discovered protita BILE results to be had
by subjecting crops to currents of
electricity. 1t is beginning to simplify
the ponderous farm machinery, and
| as soon as the storage battery has re-
ceived its finishing touches and can
be applied to tightening the farmers
toll and increasing his profits, the
farmer will be looked upon with envy
by the prisoners of city streets
and counting house walls. Those par
ticular effects of electricity upon farm
! machinery and farm life are, how
ever, visible chiefly in the imagination
at present. and are not at all likely co
be realized in six years; but one great
change may be looked for in this di-
rection in the immediate future, and
, that is the improvement of the farm
er's condition by means of good roads
and the rapid transit which electricity
as almost ready to bring, thus greatly
enlarging his market and bringing
him higher prices for fresher products.
and also bringing him closer to the
life and pleasure and stimulating ef-
feet of the city. There is to be a
wonderful change in farm life in the
more thickly-settled parts of the coun-
try in few years, and rapid transit
will be largely responsible for it.
The cheap transmission of electrical
power must bring soon many changes
/, that will be felt in the city household,
and perhaps the chief of them will be
| the abolition of the cook stove, as it is
known at present. The small electric
heater has already begun to take its
place, and it is almost certain that
sven in six years coal will be banished
from majority of the kitchens in
cities adjacent to water power, from
which electricity is generated. When
heat is wanted for cooking purposes it
/ will be had at a moments notice by

cultivated the society of chimpanzes
for several years, and says: This ape
cannot be treated as an animal. He is
an animal, no doubt, yet he shows so
many human traits that one forgets
the beast. His body is animal, to be
sure, but his mind is that of an unciv-
ilized man. The chimpanzee initiates
after the manner of man. If only
his hand were as flexible as the human
hand he could learn to do many things
which only man can do" The West
African tribes have legend that the
chimpanzees once belonged to their
communities, but that they were ex-
PEELED for bad behavior, and gradually
sank to their present low level.

The Carnot, new armorcd vessel for
the French navy, has just been
launched at Toulon. The ship 1as
built on the plans of NJ. dc Saglio, di-
rector of naval construction, and tho
late President Carnot fastened the first
bolt. 1t was to have been called the
Lazare Carnot, after his Grcat-grand-

The hull of the Carnot is composed
of two parallel walls, dovetailcd into
each other without a break as far up as
divided lengthwise by seven partitions;
it has five longitudinal bulkheads and
eighteen transverse bulkheads.
There are three decks, the armored
deck, the gun deck and the main dcolz.
The armorcd hurricane deck is con-
structed of a double thickness of sheet
iron 4-l0 of an inch thick, and covered
with armor inches thick. The length
of the vessel between perpendiculars is
364 feet; its breadth &C feet.
The armament of the Carnot will
consist of two twelve-inch guns in the
forward and central turrets of the ves-
sell, two turrets for the ten and half
inch guns, eight turrets, four on either
side, for the five and a half-inch long
range guns and six rapid-firc guns on
the upper decks. The turrets are pro-
tected by armor sixteen inches thick.
The exterior armor will rest on Il back
ing of teak eleven inches thick and will
be seventeen inches thick.
