Defective Sidewalks.

In many parts of Shenandoah de-
fective sidewalks are the rule rather
? than the exception. This is to be re-
gretted But there is no reason why
this state of affairs should exist, were
the Chief Burgess to exercise author
ity given MIN under the borough or
dinances. Some Of these sidewalks
are in a disgraceful condition. The
old system of wooden walks still OBJ
tains. Accidents, followed by suits for
physical injuries, result, and will con-
tinue until better system is in
augurated.
Commenting upon this subject, as
il effects MeadvilIe, the Philadelphia
Inquirer puts forth some wholesome
truths that are equally applicable to
Shenandoah 1t says
"The folly of allowing nuisances,
like these complained Of by the
Tribune, TO exist, has so often been
illustrated that it is almost a waste
of time to dilate further upon it. In
possibly twenty five Pennsylvania
towns the neglect to bring streets and
sidewalks up to modern standards has
cost so many times the amount in
damages to victims that such i'm
proyement would have cost, as to
make a laughing stock of the defend
ants in the several suits. In Mead
vile, it appears, they have excellent
brick streets and damage suits for
accidents in these have consequently
become less numerous. But the side
walks remain what they were ten or
twenty years ago, or are even worse.
The protests Of the people and the
appeals of the press alike have fallen
on deaf official ears.
''The Inquirer is not in the habit Of
-ad dvising people to rush into litigation
of any sort, but in accidents caused
by official negligence it urges every
victim 20 file a claim for damages.
For one thing, the damages are due /;
Cor the second, the bringing of the
municipalities to terms by this method
is the only way Of forcing them to do
away with obsolete and dangerous
institutions.
The property owner who maintains
a defective pavement, which results in
a law suit followed by a verdict for
damages against the borough, should
bear in mind that the latter can re-
cover the amount from the property

WHILE critics on this side of the
Atlantic are showing that our army
at Santiago ought not to have won,
the Spanish military commanders on
duty then are explaining that our
operations were so conducted that it
was absolutely impossible to make
head against u.s. The difference is
between the theory of war and its
actual practice. In the text books
the result of battles is matter OF
nice calculation and exact provision.
In the field it is chiefly a matter OF
good fortune or the product of condi.
tions largely independent of the or.

Liquid Air Experiments.

The number of those who are engag-
ed upon liquid air problems and pro-
cesses is very large. and each week
sees some development. the cumula-
tive effects being such as to foreshad-
ow an early commercial utilization of
the new agent in many different ways.
One of these which has timely inter
est these hot summer days has just
been brought forward by II company
making the air in novel and econom-
ical fashion. The device embodies the
operation of cooling fan by com
pressed air obtained from volatilizing
the liquid air. A suitable receptacle
holds the air while II coil connected
with this receptacle constitutes a va
porizer and heater. using the heat of
the atmosphere. The fan is revolved
by small turbine driven by the air
under pressure, which, as it escapes,
from the motor, is caught by the fan
blades and whirls forward in the cur
rent of air. In this way not only is the
air in room kept in constant motion,
but 1t is continually cooled and re-
freshened by the cool exhaust air of
the motor. Obviously, we have here,
also, IA very neat application of liquid
air as motive power.

Intercourse with the world at large.
During the latter half of that period
her progress in the arts of civilization
has been marvellous, so that now she
is entitled to a place among the most
enlightened nations OF the world. She
has not yet, however, been treated as
an equal by America aud the European
powers. The old treaties, imposed
upon her at the cannon's mouth, are
still to some extent in force; but their
day has reached its end. On July II
they lapsed, and new ones went into
effect, under which she will be, in In
.ternational law, the full equal of any
power in the world. The incident will
be of some diplomatic interest. 1t will
also be of much historic interest, as

probably been the most rapid and

Aue,en. American Sleeping Cars.

L. Xavire Eyma, Frenchman, who
came to this country in 1s47, wrote an
article in ILLUSTRATION of Paris, pub
lshed July 22,1S4s. giving his experi-
ences on the railroads of the United
States. He says that at that time
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had
a length OF seventy leagues. and that
the cost of the road was 4,116,744
francs, the receipts 3.9SS,456 francs and
expenses 1,964,741 francs. He also
gives considerable space to the In
terror arrangements of the sleeping
cars used at that time and says that.
"they are actually houses where moth
ing is lacking for the necessity of life
and are divided into compartments and
sleeping rooms, some for men and
some for women" Each room held six
beds or rather little couches in three
tiers along the sides. He winds up his
account by saying that valuables were

in America there were no such things
as sneak thieves

The system of organized charity now
In operation in most of the large cit

stress on organized charity is another
example of the sophistries which the
scholar needs to expose. l am in favor
of real charity. but that charity is mis-
named which compels man to turn
his soul inside out to charity of1cials
before he can get crust Of bread; that
charity is misnamed which forces

The ready wit for which our present

Choate's thrusts were, however, not al
ways so good-natured as are usually

said, why does he not pay back the
money he has so i'll got? He is such a
villain that he wouldn't If he could,
