may or may not be censured as the re-
port will prove, is the only body that
can officially appoint the investigat-
ing experts. 1t is condition of af-
fairs uncontemplated by the constitu-
ton and one which could hardly be
foreseen. 1t was the kind of thing,
however, which used to occur in the
Roman Republic, where the Senatorial
body used to sit in judgment upon the
pro-consuls for corruption in the pro-
vinces, but as every Senator had been
time, and had made or hoped to make
his pile, the verdict usually went
against the province and in favor of
the pro-consul.
If there were going to be another
Legislature the investigation might be
checked over there, but there will be
no more Legislature under the old
constitution. The present Cabinet, as
a Cabinet, will disappear, and is there
fore at the present time responsible
to nobody. save its own conscience.
However to that we may trust and feel
satisfied that the Minister of Interior
and his colleagues will appoint an in
vestigating committee that will be
thoroughly satisfactory to the public.
The time has come when the ques-
ton of underground wires should be
thoroughly discussed also. Munich
pality after municipality on the main
land is getting rid of overhead wires,
and the crusade still goes on. Some of
the electric companies have come to
the same idea, for though the initial
expense is greater, the ultimate eX-
pense is less, and thus the very peo-
pie who once approved overhead wires.
are now willing to have them under
ground. In the matter of safety of
course all risk is practically elimi-
mated

SANITARY.

The camp authorities have at length
taken the advice o fthe health author
tiles belonging to the city and they
will find it very much to their adj
vantage. Our health officers have had
so long and practical a training upon
the proper sanitation of confined quar-
ters that it ought not to be difficult
for them to show what has been
wrong about the camps.
If one looks at the matter from a
different point of view to any that
has yet been taken, it will be seen
how true this is. The board of health
officials keep in good sanitary condi-
ton the lowest and most crowded por-
tons of Chinatown. The inhabitants
are VIGOROUSLY careless about Stops
and refuse. The houses are i'll ven
tilated, and the sleeping accommodate
tons are narrow and crowded. More
over the ground upon which they have
built has been saturated by the filth
of years. But in spite of all these Sc
we're drawbacks there is no eXtraordi-
nary sickness in Chinatown.
AS was pointed out in these columns
last Saturday it is not the situation
of the camps that is to blame. The
blame lies with some person or per-
sons who have neglected proper sani-
tary precauton. 1t is a good thing
that the matter has been grappled
with at last, and that experienced skill
is to be used in preserving the health
of the troops.

INVESTIGATION.
cac,y.

The investigation now going on rel
alive to the death of the two men
through>the presence of a live wire in
King street is of the highest import
ance to every one who visits the city
or is resident of it.
A coroner's jury has to decide upon
the cause of the mems death and has
to try to find out if anyone was re-
sponsible for the accident. Beyond
that coroner's jury cannot go. But
even this investigation entails some
looking into the electric plant as car
ried on by the government. But
whatever the coroner's jury may find
or has found, the public will demand
something more, and that is a thor
ough and complete investigation of
the Government electric plant, and
such investigation falls upon the Min
lister of Interior.
Rumors and reports about the street
are no criterion of what is the condi-
ton of that plant and of those lines.
Nothing but a thorough investigation
carried on by experts, majority of
whom are not in government employ,
and who are uninfuenced by the gov
eminent in any way, will satisfy the
public
That wires will break is fact A
few months ago one broke on the Pa
uoa road near the turn to Punchbowl,
and it was only the presence of mind
of gentleman who was enough of an
electrician to know what to do and
how, that saved an accident. Another
break occurred near the commence
ment of Pauoa road, and Portuguese
boy started to climb the pole to look
at it, but fortunately he was speedily
stopped, and again an accident was
averted. There may or may not be
other instances of brakes, but these
two came within the writer's obser-
walton. AS to the causes of the breaks
no explanation has been given.
The investigation when held should
be searching. Were the Legislature in
session there is no doubt that it
would be thorough, for the Legisla-
ture could pick it's own committee of
experts without reference to the Cab
met, whereas now, the Cabinet, which

A Novel Way to Catch E.l..

An interesting story concerning the faculty for association of ideas in fishes comes from the West Indies. On one of the islands an old man was in the habit of assembling great numbers of cells near the surface of the water by the simple device of striking one pebble upon another, thus producing a short. sharp sound. On account of this fac ulty he was for long time believed by the other natives to be a sorcerer, a reputation which he probably liked to have, for he made no effort to avoid it, and it was by accident that it was dis covered that the clinking of the pebbles was always succeeded by the throwing of bread and scraps of other food upon the water. The cells had become accus- toned to connecting the two incidents, and never failed to appear. ill the cer- tsiuty of receiving food. when they heard tho sound of the pebbles.
 Unfortunately for the confidence of the cells in human nature, as soon as the natives discovered the old mans tricks they initiated 1t to their own benefit and captured the cells as fast as they appeared New York Commer- cial

It is the property of his wife and came into the possession of her family away back i'll the closing years of the eighteenth century, when it was purchased of the family of Govern or John Sevier of Tennessee for the great-grandmother of Mrs. King.
 The piano was made for Governor Sevier by J. Stewart of Baltimore. the governor presenting it to his wife. It is a quaint old instrument, finely finished of in mahogany, and doubtless could tell many a roman tic tale of the olden times if per chance it were gifted with the pow CT of speech. The piano is very low and has seven legs. The keyboard is smaller than that of the pianos of today, covering only five octaves
