stitutional power will be raised. OF
late years the number OF experiments
made in imitation OF Jenners discov-
cry have been numerous The public
hears again and again OF inoculation
with virus which is said to mean inn
munity from serious diseases. The
ingenuity and the perseverance with
which scientists have worked along
this line have been remarkable
Ever and anon one or the other of
their experiments is hailed as a dis
coyery Of the final preventive or pam
acea for some dreaded disease, or the
assured agent by which accurate di-
agnoses may be maze in cases other
wise battling to the most expert in
yestigation and scrutiny. Human
beings, horses and cattle have all
sorts of animal poisons pumped into
their veins, and guinea pigs and rab-
bits innumerable sacrnce their lib
erty and their comfort and at last lay
down their humble but useful lives on
the altar of science. And yet it is at
a time when the trend of medical in
yestigation is following so closely in
Jenner's footsteps that the efficacy of
his famous treatment is most strenu-
ously disputed and the public insist
ence upon its employment is most
loudly denounced as an invasion of
personal liberty and an imperilling of
health and life. But the great ma
jority in the medical profession and
nearly the whole public still believe in
vaccination and have little dread of
its danger when properly performed.
They stand by the system and believe
that it would be in the highest degree
perilous and wrong to abandon it.
They think that this is one of the
matters in which the liberty and the
inclinations Of the individual should
be made to yield to the welfare and
protection of society The chances
are that the Pennsylvania Legislature
will take this view of the case, and
will not hesitate. if such a course is
necessary, to go as far as Judge Nc
Pherson advises along the path of con-
sistency and make vaccination as
well as school attendance compul-
sorry. instead of permitting a condi-
tion of affairs by which one law shall
work the possible failure of another.

AM EccENrRIc MILLIoNAIRE.

The late Thomas Winans, of Balti-
more. spent a great portion Of his time
in Newport, r. l. Most of his wealthy
neighbors thought him eccentric and
so called him, but to those who did not
find their chief delight in the prodigal
expenditure of money he was known
TO be a man of fertile brain and rare
intellectual ability. 1t was, however, as
an inventor that Mr.. Winans was seen
at his best by those who were able tc

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
A GREAT MUNICIPAL sCHEMI

A GREAT MUNICIPAL SCHEME.
The parish of Shoreditch, in the in
dustral section Of London, is leading
the way in a municipal enterprise that,
II successful, will doubtless be widely
followed. The plan is to utilize the
dust as the English call Il, and ash
bin refuse for the production of light
and motive power. The ShOreditch
Yestry has to dispose OF 10000 tons of
this refuse annually, by contract for
It's removal, at cost of $4,000. A
good many local authoritiesin England
have put up dcstructora, which burn
up the dust. but Shoreditch is coming
forward with a scheme which Is going
TO utilize the furnaces to generate cleo
tricity. The vestry has purchased
good site in the middle of the borough,
ON which will be placed the electric
generating station the new baths and
wash-houses, and the free library. The
furnaces which burn up the dust Will
heat boilers. which will in their turn
supply steam to engines of 2,400 horse
power, and these will work the dyna-
mos for creating the electricity, which
will be distributed all over the parish
I'm the form of electric light and motive
power And, finally, the exhaust steam
will heat the water in the baths and
wash-hOuses, and so save an eXpendi-
ture OF 81 800 a year in coal. The ex-
pense incurred will not require any
raising of the rates" at the outset, and
it is estimated that in forty-two years
the revenues will amount to 100000.
More than this, sufficient applications
have been received for power and light
TO warrant an extension of the original
scheme The London and Waltham-
stow electric railway have made an APP
plication for power, the price of which
will be sufficient to pay the cost of
working a district of small Industries,
to which power is of great importance.
AT present gas engines are used, but
the vestry proposes TO supply electri-
city as motive power, at price one
half that at present charged for gas.
From an interesting description of
the process in a late number OF the
London Chronicle, we learn that the
dust will be carted in and shot into
hoppcrs. whence II will be conveyed
by overhead tramways to the furnaces.
Here IL passes into the drying cells,
and is raked forward on to the fire
bars, where it is burnt by forced
draught. But the most interesting
lulNS duoul the pItothl SNHNlht 10 tllS
system of thermal storage, by means
Of which the heat Of the furnaces is
stored up In the day time 20 be used at
night, when the electric plant Is dupli-
Gated. and in some cases Implicated, to
provide against accidents and break
downs. The street lighting to be pro-
vided consists of flfty-seven arc lamps
anG thirty-slx lamps Of thirty-two can
die power. There is a further propO-
sition TO collect all the sewer gas in
the district. and pass it through the
furnaces of the dust destructor
The scheme is certainly a very in
teresting one and seems full Of prom
ise. II the street refuse and general
waste can be used profitably in Shore
ditch. the same thing can be done else
where, and other municipalities will
not be slow to profit by the experience.

ANNEXATION SCHEMES.

Many people were disappointed be-
cause the presidents message con-
tanned no allusion to affairs in the
Sandwich Islands. This was particu-
larly so. as rumors have for some time
been rife that President Cleveland,
through his secretary of state, Mr.. Ol-
ney, was in correspondence with the
authorities OF Hawaii with the view
Of bringing about a treaty with that
island republic. Some thought il was a
step toward annexation. despite the
fact that Mr. Cleveland has never
shown any disposition favoring such
a project, and was opposed 10 annexa-
ton as originally offered.
There has been a great deal Of senti-
mental talk about the Hawaii business,
first and last, but although this coun-
try has every reason to be friendly and
helpful, II need be, to this little group
of islands so largely dominated by the
American race, it would be a very fool
ish piece Of business to annex them.

any advantage to us in the long run,
