The Lesson of EIcctroIysis.

The discovery of injuries to local water
and gas mains caused by electric currents
should cause no surprise The same thing
has happened in other cities, to greater
extent and the only reason why this citys
mains have not been seriously affected long
ago is that the source of the danger-the
overhead trolley street railway system
which uses the earth for the return current
has been practically excluded from the city
and from the vicinity of most Of the mains.
In the electric systems which do not have
a complete metallic circuit the return cur
rent in passing through the earth takes
its course along metal pipe If 1t can find
ore. which, being filed with moisture and
surrounded by damp earth. is the best kinl
of conductor. The most curious feature of
eiectrolyss IL the corrosion of earthen pipes,
terra-cotta conduits. and the like and the
recent local discoveries show that there is
every reason for extreme vigilance in guard
ing these subterranean equipments. which
must be kept in perfect order if the citys
health is to be protected. A great fault
found with the overhead system has always
been its flimsy character, its great cheap
ness OF initial installation causing unre-
liable mechanism and dangerous posslbili-
ties OF disaster. The falling of wires is one
result of this unreliable construction. So
also Is the development of electrolysis, which
Is not present In the case of well-built and
carefully constructed lines. The safest rem
edy against such an evil Is the total re-
lection OF this means of street-car propul-
sion, and the adoption of some of the more
modern and sensible systems that are now
comparatively numerous and that have been
thoroughly demonstrated to be reliable

Henry Irving is hardly to be called an
iconoclast for his new views upon the char
acter of the murderous Thane of Cawdor,
which he pronounced in a lecture in New
York recently. Macbeth has never at best
had any too excellent a reputation, and the
only hint of an excuse for him was
that the chief suggestion of murder always
came from his wife, who has therefore suf-
fered all these years from the consequences
of this charge. Henry Irving, however, de-
clared that in Macbeth himself dwelt the
murderous motive, and that so shrewd was
he, so finished in his devilish art, that he
managed to give his wife the bulk of the
credit for their bloody deeds, affecting a
sort of hypnotic Influence over the millions
of readers who have come to regard him as
rather abused and unfortunate person.
He said that Macbeth was a villain bad
to the core. 1rying's new conception of the
character OF Macbeth is not an unwelcome
one. 1t has never been a source Of any
qualification that woman could be so ut
terly lost to principles of humanity as to
commit and suggest the deeds that are pop
ularly ascribed to her, and in these latter
days of general recognition of the rights
and privileges Of womankind it is but just
that this cloud should be lifted from so eel
course. Irving cannot hope to entirely ac-
quit her of the charge of murder or man.
slaughter or of the only relatively lesser
ofense of being an accessory. but he may
at least succeed In tightening the burden of
blame that rests upon her and of making
Macbeth shoulder a larger part of 1t.
