IN CASE OF WAR
The American Navy Would Not Be Hall

Manned
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13-The first
run of the fleet under Admiral Bunce,
from New to Hampton RoadI occupy
ing a period of eight days, has been the
means of drawing the attention of the
navy department to what may be ex-
pected from these ships in actual war
conditions, or what, rather, may not be
expected of them. During the short
run, and at nothing like the conditions
that would obtain during hostilities,
Chief Engineer George E. Tower and
Past Assistant Engineer McAlister of
the battleship of the squadron, the Indi-
ana, broke down and have since been in
valided at the hospital. The Importance
of increasing the number of officers in
the engineers corps is daily felt

sengers. forty of whom are miners re-
turning from Cooks Inlet. Among them

have only enough provisions to last a
short time. Fairbanks says that unless
the government sends relief, many are
destined to die Of starvation in the near
future.

Prince Ferdinand may, after all, gain his point
Present indications are to that effect. He has
prevailed upon the Pope not to excommunicate
him. and not to grant the Princess the divorce
she SO reasonably demands. He has got the Sui
tan to recognize him as the legitimate ruler Of
Bulgaria. He has also got the Car to do the
same by sending Count Kutusoff to be his per-
sonal representative at the baptism Of young
Boris. After that, the further statement that
military convention has been effected between
Russia and Bulgaria is quite superiuous One
might as well say there is n military convention
between England and Wales. Since the Sultan,
who is now the Cars ally has recognized Ferd-
nand. and the Car himself has practically done

Among the many matters Of interest discussed
in the annual report Of the State Board Of Health
there is none Of more vital Importance than the
suppression OF bovine tuberculosis. There may
be little that IS new in what the report says
about It, The widespread existence Of the dis
ease, and It's deadly effect upon human health
have long been known. The Board Of Health
now confirms that knowledge, however. with
explictness and authority. 1t made n special
investigation Of the case last year. 1t found the
disease prevalent in herds throughout the State,
including the regions from which New-YOrk City
receives the bulk Of It's milk. With the meagre
appropriation made for the purpose last year the
Board could DO little or nothing toward stamping
out the plague. 1t recommends, however, that
radical action to that end be tAken. and II esti-
mates the cost Of doing the job thoroughly at
$1.OOO,O0O.
That sum may seem n large one ut first glance
But on mature consideration, from more than
one point Of view, 1t seeE,s decidedly modest
Knowing how prevalent the plague is, one Is led
to wonder whether 1t can indeed be exterm-
mated at small cost Koch's invention Of
tuberculin. Of course facilitates matters greatly

For the class Of pictures produced by the Ront

There is an objection to calling them photo

before the noun. for photograph Is an I'M

light They are invisible. "Cathodograph" Will
not do because the cathode rays only IN

comprehensive. The pictorial product OF any
other kind Of radiance would be entitled equally
with a R0ntgen-ray image to such an appella-

from the Greek word for darkness and the term
affords a direct ant!thesis to photograph"
Shadow graph" and "skiagraph" mean precisely
the same thing, but the former is combination
of English and Greek and the latter is all Greek.
"Shadowprnt" would be constructed on better
genealogical principles than "shadowgraph." To
