 The remarks of President Macdonald of the State Highway commission be- fore the State Board of Trade yester- day were the most notable feature of the meeting. We print them in full this morning, and all our readers who are interested in good roads will find them we'll worth attention. Mir. Mac donald shows what has been done and what ought to be done for the improve ment of the roads of Connecticut. His account of the work Of the commission makes it plain that it is a business body and that it has faithfully done it's duty under great difficulties. It is no easy matter to set in operations such a system as that which has been started by the commission, and it is remark able that so much has been already done and done so well and with so lit- tie friction.
 The thorough understanding of the situation, the sagacity and the enthu- siasm shown by Mr Macdonald in his address indicate that he is the right | man in the right place. He knows how to build good roads and he is fully alive to the need and the benefits ol therI;

The Kindergarten for All.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CorRIER
 Since the kindergarten system is the best training known for little children. why not let all the children have it? That it is the best, and that it is for all. educators agree. "The grandest sys- tenn of education ever devised by man, 9 says one. "The kindergarten is not for the poor children alone-a charity neither is it for the rich child alone, a luxury, correction or antidote; but the ideas of which it tries to be the ex- pression are the proper atmosphere for every child"

Our young friend and neighbor the
 Register says that the Journal and
 Courier has discovered new light. It
 heartily congratulates us upon the dis
 covery, remarks that our old light
 hasn't been very good one, and kindly hopes that the new one will prove use
 full to us.
 Thanks. And come to think of it there is reason in the congTatula ton of
 our young friend and neighbor. The discovery of a new light argues the ability to see. There be those who couldn't see new light if it were right before their sightless eyes. And there are beings who have lived so long in the dark that they even have no eyes, or, at best, only parliamentary onss.
 Whole processions of new lights might pass before such, and they would see no change.
 We have not noticed that our young friend and neighbor has discovered a new light. We earnestly hope it will, in order that we may be assured that it has not lost the power to do so.

The people of Alabama are naturally much pleased by the discovery that iron suitable for steel making can be pro- duced from the cheap red ore of that State. Hitherto the Alabama iron has been considered useless for the produc- ton of steel, and the value of the dis covery mentioned may be judged by the fact that such concerns at the Car negies and the Illinois Steel company have placed large orders for the Alaba- ma steel.

Oxygen is no longer single element but the admixture of two distinct gases So at least says MT. F. c. Baly of Uni versity College, to the Royal Society, in preliminary note of his experi- ments. If oxygen be submitted to the silent electric discharge the gas col lecting at the negative pole differs in density from oxygen before electri- fication, and the density is greater or less according as short or long sparks are used. The inference is that oxy- gen contains two gases of dissimilar electric discharge.

A Somerset (Maine) man got cut of a serious financial fix in an odd way re- gently. He became insotvent, and in order to secure the services of laH3 CT offered as a. fee a life Insurance policy on man in Boston. It was stralght life policy with no surrender v2,ue. The bankrupt had lent money to a young man many years before and had taken the life insurance policy as security. The young man refused to pay the premiums after a while, but the holder kept the policy in force. The lawyer took the rather dubious fee. About two weeks later word came from Boston that the man insured was dead. The lawyer collected the several thous- and dollars, and, though legally en- titled to the whole sum, he merely de- ducted his fee and paid over the re- mainder to the bankrupt, who was able with it to settle up with his cred itors and get little start again.

Shanghai and Tien Tsin and saw chol-
era victims dead and dying on every
hand. 1t is no uncommon sight to see
the dead bodies Of cholera victims lying

The cholera is attributable to the filthy

mission for the removal Of the remains
ontside the walls Of the city a cash is
dropped in box. A cash is small
brass coin worth one-twentieth Of
cent. At night the cash receptacle is
full. When it is considered that nearly
all Of these deaths result from cholera
the enormous extent of the disease can
readily be judged. The disease is as
bad at Shanghai and Tien Tsin, and is
also moving down Chinese by the hun
dred in other parts of the infected
country"
Mr.. Curtis said the cholera is con-
fined almost exclusively to the natives.
