Many Valuable Papers in Old Maryland De-
etr0yed by Fire.

Baltimore, July 9-The Sun says:
The committee to which IS entrusted
the work of supervising the erection of
a court house in the new county seat
of Charles county seems to be excellent
ly constituted. 1t is composed Of gen.
tlemen of intelligence and public spirit
who will doubtless make the best use
of the limited sum of money at their
command. No part OF this sum can be
spared for unnecessary ornament. The
building should be plain and substan-
tial. and above all else 1t should afford
ample protection from fire to the pub
lie records. The neglect of this pre-
caution has In recent years caused the
obstruction OF the records of several
of the old counties. many OF them of
great historic value, the loss Of which
can never be supplied. Fortunately.
before the Charles county court house
was burned, year or two ago, the old
records of the county had been placed
in the land Office at Annapolis for safe
OF them are there now requiring re-
binding or transcription. and there are
no funds with which to do the work.
The Sun has heretofore called atten-
ton TO the insecurity of the old will
books Of the state now in the Office OF
register of wills at Annapolis. These
are the most valuable repository OF
family history in Maryland. and all the
old Maryland families are concerned
in their preservation. They contain all
wills made in Maryland for about a
century in colonial times. That they
should be permitted to remain over
night in any apartment not absolutely
fire proof is surprising. Charles is not
a rich county and its people are heav-
lily taxed. They are, therefore, natur-
ally averse to any debt which Is not

But the country, with it's resources and
its proximity to Washington. is sure to
grow in both wealth and popula ton.
and perhaps the court house building

in the Education of Indians" He said
education was naturally the first step
in the civilization of the Indian. This
could only be given to the younger per-
sons and to them only after the break
ing up the tribal relations. The allot-
ment OF lands in severalty Is too radi-
cal a change for older Indians; they
fail In the new life and thus conceive
histility for the institutions of civil
lization which make effective work up
on the young very difficult. The In
dams are in many instances immedia-
tely surrounded by the worst types of
whites. The states have no interest in
the Indian within their borders. Per-
manent good can only come when the
states claim from the general govern
ment the right 20 control and protect

PLACE TO EXPLODE SHELLS
1t is q Closed Chamber and all Pieces Cal
be Preserved and Counted.


Washington, July 9.-The army ord
nance officers are greatly interested in
a curious chamber which has been con-
structed at Sandy Hook, known as the
explosion chamber. AS the name i'm
plies, ii is used in Connection with the
tests of high explosives or when 1t is
desired to collect the fragments OF burs-
ted shells. In connection with the art
Of war 1t is desirable to know into how
many pieces the shell will explode if
loaded with different quantities of pow
der. 1t is a nice question in metallurgy
to construct a shell of material which
is neither too weak nor too strong.
1t is therefore useful to explode shells
in a compartment where all the frag-
ments may be easily found. in order to
determine whether a shell is of the ex-
act quality. The construction Of this
chamber called for some ingenious
work. for the compartment must be
thoroughly braced and absolutely Sc
cure. A zigzag passageway affords en-
trance to the chamber, which Is embed
ded in the sand. The chamber is con-
structed Of sheets of mild steel. built
up of double plates, each one inch

Won't Come to See Yale.

London, July "a reply was sent to-

intercollegiate athletic association OF
America. The reply is TO the effect
that it would not be desirable for their
clubs to abandon their original policy,
which was that Oxford and Cambridge
would meet Yale and Harvard t'his wear
either in America or England. Since.
however, this is rendered impossible
owing to the action of Harvard, neither
club was inclined to take further steps
this year, in regard to meeting be-
tween a combination team of the Eng
lish universities and a similar team of
the American universities.
