Il have observed that the Yankees are

popular magazines made the astounding
| statement that Mr.. Trippler has announce
| ed the discovery of what he termed sur
plusage'-that he had an engine that
would operate on three gallons of liquid
air and produce ten gallons OF the same
substance from the original three. II so,
he has discovered that ignus fatuus, per-
petual motion, and smashed TO atoms the
laws or the conservation or energy ana
friction, and upset every foundation stone
of all the sciences. There is a room in
the building of the French Academy of
Sciences filled with devices and treatises
of a similar nature. Men, intelligent men,
have given their lives pursuing the phan-
tom of creating something out of nothing,
and trying TO Quadrate the circle, and that
room stands as a warning monument 10
their folly.
Liquid air hasn't upset the stability Of
the French thinkers; 1t has not extended
beyond the confines of the laboratory yet.
Wireless telegraphy is much more in evil
dence, and experiments are being made
with new and improved Marconi appli-
ances daily. OF course, it is but an infant
in the cradle just now, but this wild talk
about its Superceding the present
telegraph is nonsense; il cannot, because
the very nature of it prevents its applica-
ton to duplex and quadruple teleSraphy-
The Morse system owes its degree OF sue
cess to the discovery whereby four mes
sageS may be sent over the same wire in
opposite directions at the same moment.
Wireless telegraphy admits Of no such
solution.
That Dreyfus courtmartial was fixed
as you Americans call it, from the mo-
ment the court convened. The question
at issue was: Did Captain DreyfuS write
the bordereaux?' They could not prove
that he did; on the contrary, the evidence
showed clearly that he did not. And still
they found him guilty. What they found
him guilty of is the great puzzle. Inc
civil court will reverse the decision and
set him free. OF that ] am certain.
George Lock, the grand shark of the
universe of the Order of Hoo Hoo, dis
coursed on yellow pine lumber and Creoles
at the Knutsford yesterday. He said:
Southern Louisiana Is composed OF vast
forests of yellow pine and spruce. ana the
supply seems inexhaus iDle. We snip hun
dreds of thousands of feet of pine across
the gulf to points in Texas and Mexico
every year. The year ending June 81 was
a record-treaker, and If the present aver
