Mr.. r. Lydelker, the English natu-
ralist, says that tortoise shell, which
is made from the horny skin overly
ing the bony case of most species of
turtles, possesses the property of
welding so perfectly that no trace of
junction is visible. Two plates to be
urited have their adjacent edges bev-
eled in opposite directions and are
then squeezed in metal press, under
the action of boiling water. Imita-
ton tortoise shell is made by painting
horn with a paste of lime litharge and
soda, which is rubbed off after dry
ing This process leaves dark spots
of lead sulphide in the horn, resemb'
ling the nothing of real tortoise she'll.

In the first four weeks after the
opening of the electric railroad at Cal
TO, Egypt, it is said that no less than
eighty persons were killed, and since
that time the weekly average has been
seven or eight. This very high rate
of casualties is supposed to be due in
part to the imperfect sight of many
natives in consequence of the prevalent
eye diseases, but fully as much to the
fact that they are unfamiliar with such
swiftly moving vehicles.

They have not been able to produce an iota
OF legal proof that DREYFUs did communi-
cato any Of the papers specified this they
could not do for the excellent reason that
ScHwARzKoPPEN has declared under his
signature that he received the documents
from EsTERHAzY MERcIER and ROGET,
however, as we have seen, have endeavored
to show, first by the forged letter ascribed
to SCHNEIDER and, secondly, by the alleged
report attributed to PANIZzARDI, that
DREYFUs was IN communication with for
eign power, and, therefore, theoretically,
may have delivered the particular docu-
ments to which the bordereau refers.
There lie, to be sure, O far-fetched hypoth-
esls that the sympathy for the prosecution
exhibited by the judges through the lati-
tudo given to the inquiry, and In the
other ways above mentioned, Is merely sim
ulated, the Court recognizing all the while
that 1t will be obliged to render q 1udg-
ment OF acquittal. Such On intention Is
hard TO reconcile with the fact that, when
out of court, the judges are frequently seen
In close consultation with the Generals who
make no secret Of their determination to
secure q second conviction OF DREYFUs,
notwithstanding the Judgment rendered by
the Court Of Cessation.
There Is still another reason for regard
Ing with doubt and anxiety the result Of
the present court-martial. A military tri-
bunal Is no more impervious than 10 any
other court to the pressure Of public opin-
ion. The inhabitants OF Rennes, like those
Of almost all the cities and large towns OF
Brittany, are mainly fervent Catholics.
They are likely to be infiamed against the
accused by the riotlng which took place in
Paris on Sunday, and in the course Of (which
some churches were destroyed.

took place in DREYFUss favor, but, II we

The Ramapo Water Contract.

No other city Of tho world has had good
and wholesome water In such abundance
for 30 long period unintorruptedly as the
city OF New York. From 1s43. when the
Croton water system was formally inaugu-
rated, to 1893, the date OF consolidation,
New York, az IL then existed. had collected
sci .694, S33 In water taxes. while the total
cost Of the system Is estimated now as
representing an investment by the city Of
$50. 900. 900 only. The present daily sup
ply OF water for New York (Manhattan and
the Bronx Is 245, 900. 900 gallons, and for
Brooklyn 100, ooo.OO gallons, and the
storage capacity Of the present system,
when work now under way Is completed,
will exceed fifty billion gallons.
These results have been attained only by
the exercise OF much skill, much wisdom in
legislation, and great engineering ability;
yet after more than half century Of such
enlightened administration, a new plan for
getting water for the city Is put forward
suddenly and under circumstances Justify
ing suspicion OF tho motives OF its pro-
moters and advocates.
This new plan reverses the rule OF fifty
years. disregards what has been accom-
plished during all that time, and proposes
that New York shall In the future engage
In the purchase Of water from private con-
tractors, instead Of adhering to the en-
lightened policy which has given 1t tho
undivided ownership and sole control Of
its own water supply.
II for no other reason than that the Ram
apo water contract should be turned down.

being admitted, the rest follows, for thero
is no historical instance where the British
Government hcsitated to impose its will on

likely, one or moro European Governments
interested in preventing interference with
their trade should interpose to shield Por-

1t Is most unlikely that the Boer Presi-
dent will follow the counsel said to have
been given him, namely, that this stoppage
OF the arms in transit being an act Of war,
he should accept the challenge while the
English forces in South Africa are weak
1t would be entirely out of harmony with
the policy he has hitherto pursued, and
would throw on the Transvaal the respon-
