Tho Proposed Changes in London
University.


There has existed for upward of half .
century In the British metropolis an insti.
tuition known as the London University,
but II has never undertaken the work Of
teaching. Its functions being limited to tho
examination OF candidates and tho con-
ferring Of degrees. 1t now seems probable,
however, that plans long under discussion
will be sanctioned In the present session Of
Parliament, and that this institution will
be provided with the machinery Of instruc.
ton on a scale Of magnitude worthy Of the
greatest city In the world.
There are, Of course, In London several
academic bodies equipped with the means
Of bestowing a liberal education, but these
arc not authorized to confer degrees and
honors on successful students. Among
these may be mentioned University College,
which Ii non -sectarian, and Kings College,
which Ii an Anglican institution. When
the London University was created In 1880,
and for some twenty years afterward, no
candidates were eligible for Its degrees who
did not produce a certificate OF attendance
during two years at either University Col
lege or KingIs College, or some other anil
lated teaching institution. The new charter
OF 1858, however. contained provisions prao-
tically abolishing the exclusive connection
of the university with bpecifed AFFILIATED
colleges, and empowering the Senate to dis
penso with the certificate Of ~studentship In
the faculties Of arts and law, although at
tendance at . recognized medical school

The Discipline OF tho Police.

Police Commissions PARKER In doubtless
able to appreciate the pitiable absurdity Of
this explanation given by his colleague,
Col. GRANT. Of the latter's desire to shield
Chief CoHLIs against the necessary charge
Of characterization:
"criticism OF superior Officers in the army Il .
breach Of etiquette. and could be made q court mar
tiai offences but while that Il 90. Q superior onioer IL

open criticism.

Captain under me who said; Our Colonel II . drunk.
ard I could have him court. martialled. but would II
Be we'll for me II I did SOP In that way I cxpiain why
voted to kill tho charges against Chief cosIn."
That Is protecting CoNLIN's misconduct
with a countercharge against the Police
Commissioners themselves. 1t Ia the first
time that any Police Commissioner ever
dragged accusations against his colleagues
into q matter involving directly and solely
the discipline Of the force. 1t Is needless
to call 1t as impertinent to the case as
It IL unprecedented, and irreconcilable with
any sense Of military or civic propricty.
The proceedings Of tho Police Board, of
whatever character and quality they may
appear to outside observers. have been In
the line Of regular business ~ II was trans
acted according to the discretion of the
Commissioners. The latter haven't been
drunk, nor have they at any time OK
cecdod the limits Of their authority.
Their actions are all renewable by tho
higher power possessed by the Mayor, for
whom the method for removing n Police
Commissioners is made clear by law. Tho
organization Of tho Police Board pro-
vides for discussion, which must inevitably
occasion ono Commissioners criticism of
another. In the board. moreover, tho rank
Of each member Is tho same and the element
Of insubordinatlon cannot enter. Short
Of the city's being in open riot and danger
OF destruction, no reason Is conceivable why
any personal policy that desires to protect q
Chief Of Police In characterization such as
CoNLIN's, can be considered q moment be-
fore the imperative necessity that q police
mans insult to his superiors, and, through
them, to the city at large, shall DO dealt
with with rigor and promptness.
The public interest In the maintenance
of discipline In the police force cannot safe
ly tolerate within the organization any pub
lie conduct unbccoming either to a gentle
man or an officer. The Generalization
which would spread instantly among the
police would DO felt in every branch of
the municipal Government.

Some very interesting and sugges'
I'VE results have been obtained 10y
Jacquemin, who finds that, by the ad-
dition Of the leaves Of fruit trees which
III themselves have no marked flavor
to saccharine solutions undergoing al.
coholic fermentation, a very marked
bouquet of the fruit Is developed.
Tins. by immerslng petr or apple
tree leaves in ten or fifteen per cent.
solution of sugar, and adding a pure
yeast which by itself gave rise to no
marked flavor. after fermentation Il
LIQUID was obtained that had a strong
odor Of peer or apple respectively and
an excellent flavor. aud on disullation
gave IN alcoholic diStillate in which
this aroma was still more marked.
Vine leaves act i'll similar manner,
and the author suggests that 1t may be
possible to improve the bouquet of a
poor vintage by the addition of some
leaves during fermentation. 1t is
noteworthy that the results are far
more marked when the leaves employed
are from trees in which the fruit IS
approaching maturity. The author
infers that the havors of fruits are due
to body elaborated in the leaves,
possibly Of glucosidal nature, which
is not transferred to the fruits until
the latter approach maturity, and is
then acted upon by the special for
ments contained in the fruit juices
and develops distinctive favors. The
matter would appear to be OF consid-
erable practical importance.

The drumtish is one Of the oysters
most deadly enemies. Drumfsh are
large and heavy -jawed. They travel
in schools i'll straight course, and
once they strike an oyster bed leave
only mass of crumbled shells in their
wake. They pick up a mouthful,
grind the shells, eat the oysters, spit
out the shells and 60 on. Their pres.
ence is made known to the oystermen
by the color of the water, which as
sumes reddish hue as they pass
through it. There is no way of antici-
pating or frustrating their attacks.
Once they strike an oyster bed they
eat path through it, As to the
amount of damage they do, it depends
entirely on how they come upon the
bed, Sometimes their course leads
them straight over it. If so there is
nothing left but crumbled shells.
Sometimes they only touch the corner,
and at other times small school will
go through the centre. They never
vary from n straight course, and 4
school covering hundreds of square
feet have been known to take but Il
few bushels off the corner of a bed of
thousands of bushels. Ovstermen
offer no explanation for this peculiar
stupidity, but are glad that they do
not get into the habit Of looking about
them when they strike the corner. --

We have frequently insisted upon
the necessity for absolute cleanliness,
in favor of which too much cannot be
said. Cleanliness covers large part
of sanitary labor. Cleanliness that is
purity of air, cleanliness that is purity
of water, cleanliness in and about the
house, of the person, of dress, of food
and feeding, in work, in habits of in
dividual man and woman, cleanliness
of life and conversation, purity of life,
temperance--and by the latter we
mean moderation-all these are in
mans power. The clean man or
woman will, all things being equal, be
the healthy one. Modern knowledge
of bacteria has given enormous I'M
petus to cleanliness in medicine.
Surgeons now disinfect their iustru-
ments more carefully than ever, so rs
