Tho nArbarIlm of War.
Ffom tha Balllmore Namn.

From the Baltimore News.
Professor Shaler Is not Rmong those
who think that war "a good thing and
that mankind Is to be Improved IN the
future by lighting; rather, he believed
that Il Is q practice which has survived
from savage times aud Is unworthy Of
the civilized world AZ at present consti-
tuted. The bloodthirsty sentiment, of
which we havo recently sasn somsthing
In this country. Is trait Of the past not
yet extinct Ia human nature. which was
acquired Ia the ages OF conquest for the
possession Of food or women and which
still occasionally displays itself, but out
Of which we should try to educate our.
selves entirely. When people have
aecesses Of this fury says the pro 'essor,
"whon they dream Of bAttlefelds and the
glory Of the hsg that floats
over them. thsy are not moved
by true patriotism, but are pos
sessed by one Of the hIdeous lusts
which keep us ever In fear Of the depths
trcm which the bstter part of our kind
has so mRrvelouely won iss way" In
war the bully Is worthless The man
who has proved his prowess to his own
satisfaction In personal difficulties in
time Of peace does not make the belt
aOiuief nor even tho most courageous
one. IL is more likely to be the quiet
country boy accustomed 20 farm labor,
or, better atill, the well-tralned clerk or
student who hss hsd fancy for out
door sports; he 1t Is who will do best in
the trials OF the march or camp, as well
IS in the critical though rare moments Of
battle. This is the testimony OF many
soldiers, and 1t Is a notable fact that our
present oommander-in-c chief was fest
farm boy. then a clerk. and
won his way fiom the lowest 10 the high
est grade In his profession. The pursuits
Of peace, however, says Professor Shaler,
are the most important to civilization

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
A Second Delaware River snag

A Second Delaware River snag.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Despite Major Raymond's uncondi-
tlonal declaration chat the passage Of the
new River and HsrDor bill with Senator
dray's amended provlso would put an
enectual stop upon all engineering work
on the lower Delaware for the Winter,
necessity, who is the mother of inven
tion. seems to have suggested to him q
feasible plan by which operations may
be renewed. According to report, he
started recently to lay plans for a dixie
at the Duck Greek Flats, near Bombay
Hook. The purpose OF this dixie would
evidently be to deepen the channel over
those fats, where the water is at
present not more than nineteen feet
deep. This obstruction Ia the river has
never been disturbed. and IL would make
hns point OF attack on which to expend
the Federal appropriation Of $500, 900.
Unhappily, however, those troublesome
Delaware neighbors who have already
seen 6t to interfere to Pennsylvania
detrlment have likewise protested against
this contemplated move. Icsteed Of es
csping from his dilemma, as he had
hoped, Major Raymond Is In the midst OF
fresh controversy Tue fact is that
the proposed dixie at the Dnck Creek
Flats occasions precisely the same cues
tion in dispute as Is In Issue over the tenn
porarily defeated dixie at Reedy
Island and Llstons Point. Just as the
DelawareAns have contended that the
latter would destroy the navigation and
commerce Of tho Blackblrd and Apo
qulnimink creeks so they now insist that
the former would wreak equal damage to
Smyrna river 1t Is useless to enter into
an inquiry into the va 'ue OF smyrna
river TO the state OF Delaware IL is
sufficient to recognize the fact that the
case is twin TO the pending dispute The
engineers advance tho same arguments,
and the Dolawareans similar counter
objections, az la the original debate.
Both cases hsd better be decided at once.
Let the Board OF Federal Engineers which
Is to investigate the Reedy Island dixie
inquire into the proposed Deck Greek
dixie as WE'LL and report on both to the
secretary Of war on the first Monday Of
December next Two birds may thus be
killed with one stone.

Young Lawyer Tells the Religious Editor
All About the Game of Golf which Now
Has Certain Circles BY the Ears.
What is golff" asked the religious
editor OF the EVENING JOURNAL of a
young lawyer who plays the game occa
sionally but is not particularly impressed
with the inducem ent which 1t holds out
to man who goes into sport for a lot OF
fun
you get a great big farm )" he re-
piled, 'and dig 3 number OF little holes
In 1t. Then you get littls ball, about
the size Of premature peach, and q long
and heavy club crooked at one end. You
put that poor little ball on the ground,
and bang 1t ell over that great big farm
with that heavy club, trying all the while
to drive 1t into those little holes.
Once, Ia my endeAvors to master the
game, / drove the poor little ball into
deep railroad cut, and, to make matters
worse, II went into 3 ditch alongside the
tracks The rules Of the game do not
permit the player to touch the ball with
she hands, and there / stood, in the
blazing sun, for nearly an hour, hammer
ing away at that little ball until, really,
felt ashamed of myself Had there
been an agent Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Little Balls
within haillng distance, l should have
certainly given myself up and paid the
fine. Really, it Is almost ns exciting as

The terrible disasters caused bv the
recent tornAdOss In this country have
been, as recommended by us IN previous
article, the cause for scientific investi
gAtion, and Professor Hazen, Of the
weather bureau, has given much atten-
tlon to the matter with the result that he
now gives 1t IS his opinion that hfty
years hence not a Dig town In the south
east will be without q tornado tran.
The professor thinks that any region
OF country can be rendered safe against
tornadoes by series of look
out stations extended ia line from
north to south. 30 as to interposs a
barrier on the west which Is Invariably
the danger side. This barrier would be
made effective by means of a system Of
dynamite bombs connected with the
stations by wires 1t would not be
necessary TO keep guard In thess stations
all the time for the men appointed for
that purpose would only need to 90 on
duty when warning was received from
the Weather Bureau that conditions were
favorable for cyclones.
When tornado approached, the oper-
ator In one Of these stations would
simply W alt until the funnel cloud
reached certain position and then
touch OF the dynamite cartridges which
would blow 1t to smitheresns. Professor
Hazen thinks there would be no doubt Of
the success OF this method. he saws
that water spouts at sea have been dissi-
pated and reduced TO harmlessnass by
the firing Of guns on threatened ships.
A water spout Is nothing more or less
than marine tornado. Occasionally
they have been seen to run upon the
land and transform themselves into cy-
clones. Even II the tornado were not
destroyed by these dynamite explosions
they would be deprived Of 30 much Of
their energy as to be rendered harmless
A little practical experimenting is ad
visable 10 this matter though the theory
advanced looks reasonable. The expense
Of these stations, etc should not be
considered II they are certain TO do the
work, for 1t would be trihing compared
to the losses which tho country has been
subjected to from tornadoes. Professor
Hazen says the cost Of maintaining such
systems Of defence throughout cyclone
belt would not smount In thousand
years to the twenty million dollars whloh
the recent calamity Is said to have cost
st. Louis.

IN the latter capacity his shrewdnsas is

Kruger put On his thinking cap and
