A modification of the decimal system
for the division of time and angles is
proposed by M. de Sarranton In the Re
vue Scientihques. The hour must be re-
tanned as the unit of time because it
is universally accepted and it is hope
less to try to change it. Every hour,
however, is divided into 100 minutes
and each minute into 100 seconds. The
new minutes would be Sc seconds long,
three-fifth Of the old minutes, and the
new seconds a little over ,one-third as
long as the present seconds. Time
would then be expressed in decimals;
thus, 8,334S would read s hours SO new
minutes As new seconds. For angular
measurements he proposes dividing the
circle into $40 degrees instead of 800,
with the Same subdivision into 100 min
utes of 100 seconds as for the hour.

The Illinois bureau of labor statistics
has made public a report concerning
the defects and shortcomings of the
present system of assessments the rev.
elation being but one more of the many
with which observers of the system are
familiar. AS shown by the labor bu-
reau these abuses are SO utterly I'M
reasonable as. to be almost grotesque.
The system abounds in defects whereby
evasions of taxation, undervaluations
by the assessors unjust determinations
among property owners and wildly IT.
reconcilable differences in the burdens
borne by taxpayers in different places
are common. 1t needs but the mention
of the fact that to-day the assessed
valuation of Chicago is over $4,000, 900
less than it was twenty-five years ago
to show the absurdity of the system.

AN IN4ERESTTYg REPORT.

The committee appointed to examine
 into the condition of the Iowa Deposit
 and Loan company, the "national'
 building and loan association which re-
 gently went to pieces at Des Moines,
 has made it's report It is found that
 the expense fund account from April
 ? to December S1 1894, showed receipts
 of $27,515.49, which was used in paying $15, ,622.62 for salaries and field work" S,S1SO3 for sundries, $2,5S4S4 for ad- vertising and printing, and $45O for office rent, There is another account, put down as lover and short account"
 which foots up $16,962.SO. Of this amount $4,324 is entirely unaccounted for, but the examiners suggest that it was used by the secretary as a lobby fund to defeat the bill for State super vision of such concerns which was be- fore the legislature last winter. They say also that the accounts have been perverted and juggled. A contract had been entered into by three of the direc- tors with the secretary by which he was in a fair way to earn $250OO year had not the exposure been made when it was. This contract, the Iowa State Register says, was nothing else than B conspiracy against the shareholders, many of whom were kitchen girls and laboring men, for a division of the profits of the concern" The organ of the nationals" recently defended such contracts at considerable length. New officers have been elected for this loan company, and it is going to try it's uck again.

NEW HAVEN MORNING TUESDAY FEBRUARY

ship was soon an open secret By that
 time religiously minded men who were
 serious thinkers had found themselves forced by the march of science and crit icism to reconsider their conception of the central figure and fact in worlds history. The old popular Christian the ology, which had suffered some distor- tion at the hands of the Evangelicals, was found wanting; what was to take it's place? "Ecce Homo met the want that was so highly and deeply felt. It showed the way which thousands had | been groping for, and supplied a de- mand which had actually existed for some time before.
 The ideas which it collected and re- duced to order, and the feelings to which it gave articulate and sufficing expression, were no doubt In the air, and the time and the want found what they do not always find, the right man. ''Eoee Homo was, we believe, conceiv- ed and written to satisfy its authors own mind, compelled to reconsider and recast the traditional and popular con- ception of the Divine Head of Mankind, the Realization of the God given ideal of Humanity.
 The influence which the book was to exercise In sapping the foundations of the popular Chlvinistic theology was perceived at once by Lord Shaftesbury and the Evangelical party and they lost no time and spared no violence of language in denouncing it as unortho- fl HNa A1 Al,n sftt ulating influence on theological scolar- ship of 'Ecce Homo we have only to compare the theology of the best or thodox writers of that day with the the ology of such an orthodox and reverent churchman as the author of Lux Mum di" to-day.
 It might be argued that Seeley was indebted to Renan, whose "Vie de Jesus" had appeared two years before 'Ecce Homo; but the standpoint in the two books is altogether different the later work is independent of the earlier.
 Fortunate in the power which he thus exercised in the field not only of scien- tific but also of popular theology. Sir John Seeley was again fortunate, in a iSoocl dC6H CG ipul III LliS SdlllS Wayy III his Expansion of England" published in 1883. His work came on the crest of the wave of Imperialism, and it's success owed more to the fact that it gave ex- pression to feelings that were widely felt, and indeed already artlculate in 1 the press and on the platform, than to | its intrinsic power or originality, for it | can scarcely be denied that in this work | Seeley appropriated the Ideas of Ranke, l though he made them In a very real | sense his own.-London Saturday Re | view

 The Bridgeport Liquor Dealers asso- citation doesn't appear to know when it is well off. After begging the Law and Order league ito spare it's life it now delays to sign the agreement which 1t was so anxious to sign last week. The trouble is said to be that there are some thick" men in the association who cannot see the situation as 1t is. They think they can manage to suuirm out of their predicament by means of trial by jury. Their notion is not shared by the more intelligent members of the association one of whom says: The worst feature of the whole business is that the men who want to endorse the agreement win have to suffer for the foolishness of the objectors. I don't know but it would be a good thing to let the objectors withdraw from the as- sociation and then ratify the compact. If some such actionI is not taken more than one man now running a saloon will be in jail next year instead of in business He will then realize the dif- ference between iron bars and the onea he has usually been behind.
 The Law and Order league very prop erly resents the i'll treatment of its leniency, and has demanded that the cases be taken up again and pushed as they originally would have been had not the agreement been made. The prosecuting officer will give the liquor dealers until Wednesday, and if | they do not walk up and sign by that l time they will have to take the con sequences. As the evidence against | them is abundant and strong, the con- sequences are likely to be serious.

Is on the Mississippi river and in the parish of Iberville The main building
 is fine old plantation house that was the seat of a generous hospitality be- fore the war. Gardens and woods ex-
 tend on all sides of it, and the scenery is Arcadian. With eight cottages in- cluded, there are accommodations for 100 lepers, but the present colony is much smaller, victims of the disease showing but little disposition to put themselves under the care of the State. The health officers have always found the task of isolating lepers difficult one, The last time an attempt was made to inspect settlement on Bayou Lafourche the lepers fled to the swamps, and there was no reaching them. The announcement of the authorities that the State hospital is now open has filled the unfortunate victims everywhere with dread, and it will be necessary to take many of them to Iberville by force. The inhabitants of this parish are also making the duty of the hos pital staff unpleasant, refusing to SUD- ply the patients with food, which, in consequence, is brought direct from New Orleans. Moreover, the servants of the institution have been warned that they will be shot should they ven- ture outside the hospital grounds. It is the intention of the authorities to make the colony so attractive that in the end all the lepers of the State will come in and put themselves under treat ment

TWO KINDS OF D1YoRCE.

Strange as it may seem, they are still little particular about divorce in Chi cago. They draw the line at the, Dako- ta kind In some cases.
 Ex-Congressman Durham sued his wife for divorce in 1893, alleging the scriptural cause. While the suit was pending Mrs. Durham went to Dakota remained there long enough to procure a constructive residence, and sued her husband there for divorce. Although he knew of the proceedings, he did not appear and the suit was not defended. The judgment of divorce in Mrs. Dun hams favor was granted. With this de- cree Mrs. Durham returned to Chicago and married the person named as CO., respondent in her husbands suit, and when her husbands case against her came to trial interposed the Dakota de- cree as a bar or estoppel to further pro- ceedings. The suit was in Judge Nc ConnelTs court, and he held that the Da- kota divorce was void in Illinois, grant

ing the decree of divorce, however in her husbands suit. An appeal was talk en by Mrs. Durham, and the appellate court has affirmed Judge McConnelr5 decision.
 The opinion in the case is written by Judge Waterman He recites the old rule, that the validity of judgment rests on the jurisdiction of the court over the subject matter, and over the persons who are parties to the suit. This, he says, the Dakota court never had That court was not informed that a suit for divorce was pending in Illi- nois when the suit there was begun, and did not know in fact that Mrs. Durham was not a. legal resident there, but was resident of Illinois. What the western court would have done had 1t been apprised of these facts" Judge Waterman humorously says, lis mat ter of conjecture"
 This case has caused some demand in Illinois for uniformity in the divorce laws of the different States It is good illustration of what can be done and is done under the present system, or lack of system.

a few months ago gave an account or a
 missionary settlement soon to be start
 ed in Bombay by young women of
 Newnham and Girton colleges in Cam
 bridge, England. We have just learned
 about another and perhaps still more
 unique settlement which has just been
 started among the mountains of North Carolina. It is located about three
 miles distant from Asheville, and the
 object of the founder is to work among the mountaineers, to supplement in ev- cry possible way the work of a neigh boring chapel and district school usu- ally open for four months of the yeai; to provide a library and reading-room for the community; to open clubs and classes for children as well as their fathers and mothers. and to reach the
 homes of the mountaineers as can be
 done only by living among the people. The home of the settlement is a log
 cabin of somewhat larger proportions
 and better construction than the one
 roomed, windowless cabins of the
 mountaineers in the vicinity. The
 founder of this work is Miss Susan
 Guion Chester, graduate of Vassar,
 and member of the college settlements
 association. She, with one or more
 friends and helpers, proposes to live in
 that log cabin, and they hope to enlist
 the support of many northern people
 who are each year attracted to Ashe-
 vile. Miss Chester has made a thor
 ough study of the city settlements and
 their methods, and she will follow as
 far as possible the general plan of the
 other social settlements. The religious
 side, however, will be more strongly
 emphasized than is necessary where churches are more common. Especial attention will also be given to the home life, in order that it may be an exam pie to other homes in the neighborhood, showing the people how their homes may be improved and made more beau tiful. This is a unique movement, and suggests one way in which the terrible heathenism of many of our country dis tricts may be modified and new and better conditions introduced. The null l duplication of such settlements would do | much to solve the pressing problem of 1 those regions of New England and the | middle states which are gradually be- | coming unable to support religious ser vices because of the changes in the pop | ulation.

At St. Bartholomew's hospital, Lon hon, an ingenious hot-air bath is now in use for the treatment of sprains, infiam- ed joints due to gout or rheumatism, and similar affections. It consists of a copper cylinder about three feet long and eighteen inches in diameter, which will hold an arm up to the shoulder or a leg up to the middle of the thigh; it stands on an iron frame, and is heated by gas burners placed underneath, so that the temperature can be raised to 3OO' or 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The pa- tient is placed in an arm chair at one end of the cylinder, the limb is intro duced, and the joint made air tight by q rubber band. No discomfort is felt up to 250 degrees, until precipitation sets in, when the moisture has scalding effect, which Is relieved by opening the further end of the cylinder and letting the moisture evaporate. A sitting usu- ally lasts forty minutes. The immediate effect is a greatly increased circulation dn the part treated, profuse local per spiration, and relief from pain.

Experiments are being made in France to concentrate wine into tablets for transportation. After the grapes are pressed the juice is pumped into an apparatus where 1t is evaporated and the vapor condensed. When it has the consistency of syrup it is mixed with the grape pulp, producing a marmalade that contains 80 per cent. of grape sugar. To make wine the cakes are mixed with the right proportion of water.
