Roseats Visions Of an Approaching MIL
lenial State.
NJ. Berthelot indulges in the rosiest
visions concerning the benefits which
chemistry will heap upon the human
rnce in the course of another century
or two, says the New York Post. In
an address before the manufacturing
chemists of France delivered recently
in Paris he said that he looked to chem
istry for doliverancc from present so
cial evils and for the possibility of re-
talizing the socialists dreams-that is,
II spiritual chemistry could be dis
covered to change human. nature as
deeply as chemical science could mod
ify the globe. This change, he de-
clared, will be greatly due to chemis-
try utilizing the heat Of the sun and
the central heat of the globe. The
latter can be obtained by shafts of
three thousand or four thousand me-
ters in depth, which modern engineers
are equal to the task Of sinking.
The water down SO deep will be hot
and able to keep all possible machinery
going. By natural distillation it will
furnish fluid free from microbes, and
be an unlimited source of chemical and
electrical energy. This could be cv-
erywhere developed, and thousands Of
years might pass without any notice
nblc diminution. With such u source
of heat all chemical transformation
would be easy. production of ali
mentary matter will be one conse-
'quence. This production is resolved in
principle, and has been for forty years,
by the syntheses Of grease and oils.
That of hydrates Of carbon Is going on,
and that of nitrogenous substances is
not far off.
When energy can be obtained thus
cheaply, food can be made from carbon
taken from carbonic acid, hydrogen
taken from water, and nitrogen from
the air. What work the vegetables
have SO far done science will soon be
able to do better, with far greater pro
fusion and Independently of seasons or
evil microbes or insects. There will
then be no passion to own land, beasts
need not be bred for slaughter, man
will be milder and more moral. and bar
rem regions may become preferable to
fertile as habitablc places, because
they will not be p,stiferous from ages
of mnnuring. The reign OF chemistry
will bcautify the planet. There will
then be no need to distigurc 1t with the
gcoinctricnl works Of the agricultural
list, or with the grinc Of factories and
cllimneys. il will recover its vcrlurc

WHAT BRADsTREET SAYS.
Give a Better Tone to Commercial In
terests of the Whole Country.

New York, March 2.-Bradstreet's 9
tomorrow will say:
The Improvement in the general trade
is more marked but not general 1t 10
more conspicuous at the larger New
England points-notably Boston and
Providence, and at New York, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Louisville, and other
centers along the Ohio river valley to
st, Louis and as far west as Kansas
City. Similar reports come from Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, the first
named announcing that smaller guam
titles of money are being offered, the
banks working steadily toward a five
per cent basis, the demands for loans
continuing TO improve, and the reserves
being lower than for a year past. From
other cities better feeling is based on
the recent developed strength In cotton
wheat and corn. The widespread pre-
valence of inquiry which shows op-
ward movement Is the beginning OF
permanent recovery from the two years
of depression is of itself significant.
While among important price move
ments there are reactions for wheat
oats, and lard, from the advances Of
last week, these were to be expected
as the outcome of the selling move
ment to take profits, emphasized by
favorable crop reports from abroad,
and freer receipts. On the Pacific
coast lumber is higher and advancing.

TO See Which Shall Have the Mill
tary Post Named for Puget

Associated Press.

Washington, March 22.-An error by
some of the congressional clerks In
making up copy OF the sundry civil
appropriation sent "a THE president has
materially change& the intention of
congress in providing for the estab-
llshment of two military posts. 1t in
wolves also the rivalry Of the cities Of
Seattle and Tacoma, and will probably
result In favor of Seattle. When the
bill was pending In the house Senator
Squire. who lives In Seattle, gave mo-
tice of an amendment for the estab-
lishment by the secretary of war Of
post on Puget Sound. This would mean
a post at Seattle. as General Otis, in
command Of the department of the
Columbia, has already reported in ia
vor of that point. Representative Doo-
little, who lives at Tacoma, then Of
fered am amendment IN the house for
a post ON Puges Sound with a pro-
vision that Its location should be de-
termined by a board of army officers,
one of whom should be stationed in
the department. where the post was To-
Gated. This was adopted. The senate
struck out the proviso for an
examination by the army officers
hoard. When the bill was in confer
ence an agreement was reached to re-
store Doolittle's amendment with
slight notifications which necessitated
its being rewritten 1t now appears
that the provision for a board of army
officers to examine and report upon
the best site applies only to the post
ait Bismarck, North Dakota, while the
secretary Of war. may go ahead and To-
cate a post on Puget Sound ait his dis
cretion. The department may not act
on what may have been the intention
OF congress, but must construe the
law and apply DIT as 1t reads. 1t will
be a SERIOUS disappointment to dozen
or more ambitious places on Puget
Sound which are getting ready to pre-
sent their claims to the post to the
board to he appointed for that purpose.
Now the claims will Ibe presented to
the Secretary, who will probably be
governed by the advice, of the army
officers who have examined the matter
and the last report of General Otis.
which recommended a post at Spo-
kane and at Seattle, will have great
weight The Spokane post was author
ized In the army appropriation bill.

bill which provided that IL the sale of
property mortgaged did not pay off the
debt in full the mortgage must be
cancelled Just the same as If the in
come was sufficient to pay 1t. By It's
terms no deficiency judgment could be
Issued and no other property RESPONSE

as the bill would operate upon existing
Judgments or contracts 1t violates the
United States constitution, which pro-
vfdes that no state shall pass any law
impairing obligations or contracts, and
the seaIte constitution contains pro-
visions to the same effect. He contends
that the measure would be ip every

terests OF the State. The governor also
vetoed the bill providing for the print
ing by the state of a series Of school
text books and appropriating $4,000
therefor.
