The American Society Of Municipal
Improvements, which held its annual
convention in Washington, considered
the question of municipal sewage, and
the consensus of opinion was that the
systems of sewage now in use in
American cities absolutely demand
Improvement. Our country is, in this
respect, as in some others connected
with the efficiency of local administra-
ton, far in the rear of Europe. The
municipalities of Europe, such as
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Frankfort, and
others, have undertaken extensive ex-
periments. By physical and chemical
processes, planned on huge scale,
the sewage has been taken both by di-
rect transport and by conduit to farms
at distance from the city. There the
refuse became valuable as an excellent
fertilizer, while the drinking water has
been freed from pollution.

The annual report of the British
Board of Trade shows this year de-
crease in exports amounting to S13,-
100000, but with the usual explana-
tion and regret there is mingled note
of reconcilement. No longer able to
monopolize the foreign export market
there is a friendly approach to the
only two commercial nations, tie
United States and Germany, who are
destined to share it. This is what
President Ritchie really means when
he says that Great Britain ought not
to be surprised at being so rapidly
overhauled in exports by other ma
tions, especially the two named. Be-
tween Germany and Great Britain the
political question is purely commercial,
though in our case the commercial
relation is supplemented by others.
But there is clearly preference on
the part of British trade interests to
share with these two powers of kindred
race the commercial supremacy which
is not so assured as it was twenty
years ago, rather than admit the pos
sibility of contesting it with the
"closed- door" nations, thinks the New
York Commercial Advertiser.

According to the old theory, the
continual "mental strain" on wheel
man of keeping his balance ought to
bring it about that a wheelman would
be in far more parlous state at the
end of six-day race than pedes-
trian. But the theory is an invention
of the London Lancet, which has
probably discovered more and more
redoubtable mares nests than any
other periodical published. The facts
do not bear it out Without doubt
the wheelmen who finished the six
days bicycle race in New York City
were sick and sore, and also good deal
dazed, but no more than if they had
been pedestrians subjected TO an equal
test of pluck and endurance. On the
other hand it is noticeable that the re-
suits of this, like the results of other
long distance bicycle races, by no
means bear out the common compu-
tation that man on a bicycle can, in
the same time and with equal exertion,
go four times as far as man on foot
For long distances it is plain that
three times would be nearer the mark.
No bicyclist has thus far come near
quadrupling Littlewood's pedestrian
record OF 623 miles within 142 hours.

A high official of the French For
eign Office says: "The appearance of
the Americans in Eastern waters is q
disturbing factor to the whole OF Eu-
rope. Americans, as is well known,
lack diplomatic manners, and will
surely bring constant trouble to all of
u.s." Wemust confess that the French
mans point is well taken, says the
New York Journal. We do lack "diplo-
matte Manners" as the Spaniards can
testify. The way Dewey smashed
Montojo's feet was positively rude.
And the conduct of Schley at Santiago
was abrupt and utterly devoid OF
courtesy. The Peace Commissioners
have been equally impolite Ill insist
ing that the American flag should re-
main nailed to the mast in the Phlllp-
pines. But France should bear with
us. 1t is true that we lack the dell
cate feeling and the innate sense OF
Justice shown by that country in the
treatment of Dreyfus. But we are
young yet. This virile Western giant
has been so busy hewing paths through
the wilderness and working out Its
destiny that il. hasn't had time to caper
to the lascivious blessings of diplo'
matte Lutte or cultivate the social graces
that so distinguish out Gallo
friends. If France will only be pa
tient we may yet learn the difficult art
