New York World
The War Department has demon
strated its utter incapacity, it's utter I'M
fitness to be Entrusted with military
management of any sort, whether in the
enemy's country or in camps in the
heart of our own country.
Not a single change of Importance
enough to attract attention has been
made either in the men or in the meth
DDS of the War Department since it
was exposed.
The War Department mas made plans
which are in process of execution
right now-by which 100000 soldiers
are TO be massed in few camps in the
South. They are to stay there for six
weeks or two months.
1t is an established fact that it is
most dangerous to encamp large body
of men in one place for a longer period
than two weeks. Toward, the end of
the second week fevers and other camp
diseases begin to crawl about and soon
thereafter the camp hospitals are filled
and the camp cemetery begins to fat
ten.
Finally, the most unthealthful period
of all the year in the South is Septem-
Der, October and early November Then
the disease germs are ripening On the
decaying vegetation.
The arrogance and incepacity Of the
crowd Of fayorites that dominates the
War Department seem 10 have reached
a china, of insanity.

rescue Of the soldiers. The news from
Washington this morning is that he has

Matters Of minor detail will naturally

by which the Cortes accepted the

consequences of defeat are now clear

The treaty must be made satisfactory to

Magnetic Dip of Vases.

The experiments Of DR.. Folgherai-
ter have shown that the magnetic
"dip" Of terra Gotta vases may help to
fix the date of the vases, or, converse
ly, may give the earth's dip for that
place and period. There are no re.
cords Of magnetic dip earlier than
1916. Since then it reached maxi
mum Of 70 degrees 40 minutes in Italy
in 1920, then gradually diminished to
the present value Of 81 degrees 80
minutes, while the vases examined in
dictate a dip toward the South Pole
about the eighth century B. G. It is
now suggested that fires and volcanic
eruptions of know date may have left
magnetic records. For example, the
brick walls of the council hall of the
ducal palace in Venice, burned in
1875, should be examined for traces
of remnant magnetism, and substances
ct Herculaueum may be expected to
have retained magnetism impaired by
the lava in the direction Of the earth's
dip at the date Of eruption. Trenton

Sea Water For Blood.

NJ. Quinton, as consequence ofhis
researches in evolution, believes that
as all the higher organisms, according
to the teachings Of evolution, have as.
cended from less highly organized
marine ancestry, the liquid which
bathes all the cells of the individual
ought to be chemically similar to sea
water. During experiments made OF
the College Of France dog was bled
to such an extent that death would
have inevitably followed had the ami
NAL been left alone. It was then given
an intraVenous injection of sea water.
Ten days after the operation the dog
showed, as tested by the colorimeter,
larger proportion of hemoglobin than
before the bleeding. All dogs expert
mented on not only survived, but re-
covered with remarkable quickness.
N. Quinton thinks it is on account Of
its holding in suspension the same
salts which are constituents of sea
water that artificial serum holds the
reputation that it does, and that sea
water is physiologically superior.

Relative Rates of Paw.

The relative rates of American and
British naval officers pay, in compari-
son, are as follows: Naval cadet $500;
midship1nan $3.50; ensign, $1,000; sub.
lieutenant, 1856, with extras as navi.
gator, 1925; lieutenant, Junior grade.
$1,000; lieutenant, 5000 to $12S0, with
extras up to 1866, lieutenant, $2400;
lieutenants in command, $1OO5 to
$3.50, with extras from 1920 to sos;
lieutenant-commauder, $4,000; COM
mander, $500; commander, 1895.
with extras to $705; captain, $500;
captain, $205O to 5000, with extras
from $455 to $264O. Thus only the
senior captain in the British navy, with
full allowance of extras, receives more
than our junior captain. But after
one gets to be captain things change.
Every British captain becomes rear
admiral in few years, as the rank Of
commodore is only temporary, aud
q rear~admiral starts with $S2l0, and
may wind up with $13,685. Our rear
admirals get only $4,000 at most, while
their comrades Of equal rank in the
army, the major generals, get $500.
Then the British sailor has two, and
sometimes three, steps, after he gets
his flag; he may become vice-admiyal,
with pay ranging from $l2,775 to
$15,510, and even admiral, with pay
and allowances Of $17,100 to $19,835.

Blinded by His Teeth.

A curious case Of blindness from
crowding Of the teeth is reported. A
boy, aged eleven, complained that he
awakened one morning to find that he
was blind. Previously, and on CO.
ing to bed the night before, there was
nothing wrong with his eyes. The
pupils were dilated, fixed, not inau.
enced by light; could. not tell light
from darkness. The suddenness of
the attack pointed to functional dis
turbance. Several causes were looked
for, but examination of the mouth
showed crowding and wedging of the
teeth together. Two permanent and
four temporary molar teeth were ex.
tracted. The same night he could
distinguish light from dark, and next
day could make out objects, and in q
few days sight "was restored" He
had no other treatment. New York

AFTER THIRTY.sIx YEARS.
Conscientious Action of Former New
York Dry Goods Merchant.

An unusual instance of commercial
conscientiousness has been furnished
by the notification received by the
creditors of the former firm Of Emo,
Bueren & Valentine that they will re-.
ceive payment, with interest, of Amos
F. Eno's share of the firms indebted.
ness.
Amos F. Emo is the son Of Amos r.
Emo, who some years before the war
was the head Of the firm Of Emo, Rob-
erts, Rhodes e. Co., who dealt in
cloaks and mantles. When his father
withdrew in 1857 Amos F. Emo sue.
ceeded him as head of the firm. In
1859 the firm was reorganized and be.
came Emo, Bueren & Valentine, deal.
ing exclusively in silks and fancy
dress goods. Mr.. Emo contributed
$500 of the firms capital. The
store was at 81 Broadway. and its
business was principally with the
South. Naturally, it was one Of the
first to go under during the war, sus.
pending two weeks after the firing on
Fort Sumter. Everything possible
was realized from the sale of the
stock and business, but the dividend
paid was small. The creditors, how.
ever, willingly gave the members of
the firm release from all their obi
cations.
Mr.. Emo, after short experience
in the army, went into business in
1866, becoming member of the firm
of Hoadly, Emo & Go. Having pros
pered, he is now anxious to wipe out
his share Of the debts contracted
thirty-six years ago, in spite Of the
fact that the failure Of Emo, Bueren &
Valentine has long since passed out Of
peoples memories. Indeed. scarcely
any of the firms which were the cred
itors Of that concern are now in bust.
ness, and in many cases where the
original names are maintained not o
single member Of the original creditor
firm survives. In many instances no
evidence remains of the debt which
Mr.. Emo is now anxious to pay.
It is estimated by one of the older
creditors Of the firm that to pay the
debts with interest to date will cost
Mr.. Emo more than 100000, the
thirty-six years interest amounting to
a good deal more than the original
debt.-Dry Goods Economist.
