Buying Heat and Cold.

History doesn't go back to the time when
man did not understand how to procure
artificial warmth to withstand the effects of
cold. 1t is only within a few years, how
ever, that he has begun to develop the art
OF supplying cold to mitigate or nullify the
effects of heat
Ever since the invention OF refrigeratlng
machinery made possible the transporta-
ton OF frozen meat across the tropics, the
question has often been asked whether tho
development of the processes for produc-
ing low temperatures would not mako It
possible to supply artificial cold in the
dwellings Of hot countries. It's application
in the houses Of those parts OF the temperate
zones that arc subject to periods OF excess
Sive heat would be an enormous boon ; and
a greater blessing could scarcely be be-
slowed upon tropical regions. One essen
tial for the full development of the re-
sources of the tropics is the active presence
~ people accustomed to temperate climates.
Whenever the application OF artificial cold
tn houses in the tropics shall become II
practical success one OF the greatest i'm
y diQonts to the naturalization in warm
countries OF tho English-speaking peoples
and other northern races will. in large
measure, be removed.
Within twelve years much progress has
been made in the art OF producing cold.
New agencies for refrigeration and new
methods OF applying it have bean discov-
cred. Refrigeration has been considerably
chcapcned. Meat is carried in frozen con-
dit.on g, 900 miles and then sold at lower
rate than meat that is locally produced.
The development Of cold storage has led to
the refrigeration of large buildings. some
OF them with a capacity of 900, 900 cubic
feet or more. Electricity is widely used as
an economical motive power for the re-
frigerating machines. both on ships and on

The Danger in Small Banks.

The Middlesex County Bank, OF Perth
Amboy, n. j., had n nominal capital of
$50, 900 and a surplus OF $50, 900, making
total capital OF 500. 900. 1t now appears
that its cashier Is an embeZzler to the
amount Of $145, 900. which Is SAT, 900 moro
than the entire amount OF the banks own
money. This S45, 900. therefore. belonged
to the banks depositors and other cred
itors, and they will have to lose it.
Not long ago the Chemical Bank Of this
city, with a capital and surplus Of Sc, $780,
900, suffered, by tho imprudence Of its
cashier, loss OF $500, 900, but tho amount,
in proportion to the banks own money,
was so small, that tho abstraction OF it did
not impair the banks credit in the slightest
degree and excited scarcely any attention
from its creditors.
Hero are two illustrations which the
currency reformers who are clamoring for
the multiplication OF little banks with cap
itals OF $4,000 or $25 900 each, will do
we'll to consider. Tho smaller the bank tho
easier it Is for a dishonest officer to make
way with enough OF its assets to bankrupt
It. A defalcation which would ruin a small
bank would affect large one comparatively
little. Hence the public is much better
protected in dealing with large bank than
it is with small one. If banking facilities
are needed In places which cannot sustain
large bank they can be supplied by
branches better than by independent insti-
tutions

shore, and IL is claimed by those interested
that the large reductions recently achieved
in the cost OF liquefying air have placed
this new refrlgerant upon a commercial
basis; plans are now actually devising for
cooling dwellings and hospitals by means
Of liquid air.
Twelve years ago Mr.. FRANCIS GAIToN
expressed the belief that the time was soon
coming when the cooling OF sleeping rooms
at least would be common luxury in hot
countries. He thought it practicable to
accomplish that, even with the more ex-
penslve methods OF refrigeration then In
use. The discoveries and inventions since
made seem to have simplifled the problem.
Refrigerants, perfectly adapted for the
cooling Of living rooms, are known, and tho
details Of their application for this purpose
are now being worked out
In this age OF wonders It will scarcely
surprise any person II the present genera
tion is yet able to purchase cold when cold
is desirable, just as 1t has always bought
heat when heat was wanted.

The American Brays.

We are informed by high Asian authority
that our supposition concerning the Eng
lishman HOWARD w. BRAY, now attached
to the cause Of AaUINALDo. was entirely
correct.
BRAY is the Industrious servant Of AGUI-
NALDo, and the head Of the literary bureau
Of the so-called Tagalog republic He is
earning his emoluments at the expense OF
American blood and life.
It Is BRAY undoubtedly who prepares for
AaUINALDo the proclamations and speeches
whereof tho style has puzzled US some
what. Tho hgh-sounding rhetoric OF which
the scheming Oriental himself is incapable,
is put forth through BRAY's pen and mouth
in order to cover with fine, heroic phrases
the operations Of the crafty, selfish and
oowardly rebel.
We are also informed that it is BRAY who
attends to the Hong Kong end OF that con-
slant ally and mouthpiece OF the Aguinal-
dian rebels, the Associated Press.
1t is absolutely known, moreover, that
BRAY is the artist whose mendacious por-
traits Of his chief in the Singapore and
Hong Kong newspapers have inspired the
poor, weak-minded GARRISON to sonnets
KoscIUszKo. tits BRAY who has stimulated
various Tagalog sympathizers in Boston
and elsewhere to hail AaUNALDo as an
other GEORGE WASHINGTON,
BRAY writes these ridiculous sketches OF
AGUINALDo's career and personal char
acter. He is proud OF his productions for
he signs his name to them.
On the whole, Mr.. HOWARD W. BRAY,
formerly Of Singapore, has been busy
man since he hired himself out to AGUl-
NALDo. His employer has reason to re-
gard him as a useful mercenary. AS such
he is, We suppose, within his rights. II he
chooses to speculate in the likelihood of
Americans, international law cannot reach
him. Even the sentiment Of the British
nation, overwhelmingly with us in our
present task in the Far East cannot re-
strain the hireling activity Of this partic-
ular Englishman.
1t is idle to waste Indignation upon the
English BRAY. II he could once be caught
red-handed, it might be some satisfaction
to attend to his case; but AGUNALDos
literary department will probably take
good care to keep his carcass on the safe
side Of the danger line. His weapons are
few OF the Anglo-Asian newspapers and the
American Associated Press.
AS for tho American BRAYs. who are rem
derng in Boston and New York precisely the
same sort OF service to AGUINALDo as tho
English BRAY is performing at Hong Kong,
what shall be done with them?
They are not within their rights. Their
carcasses are not beyond the reach OF the
arm OF the Government whose military
operations they are doing everything in
their power to embarrass and thwart. They
can be caught any day with the black stains
| OF treason upon their lips.

communions. They instinctively quote texts
OF Scripture as absolute proofs Of the sound
ness OF their positions. taking the Bible
us finally established and indisputabie
authority; and as one OF our correspond
ents suggests to-day they and not the
skeptical and agnostic Bishops and other
clergy represent the still prevailing BELIEF
OF earnest Christians. They are not re-
PEELED, az Is Bishop POTTER, by speech
hardened into dogmatic terms for they
know that IL they are TO have faith at all it
must be founded on faith in the dogmas
which are the basis Of the Christian creeds.
1t is true, as this correspondent says,
that the criticism which is now seeking to
destroy the validity OF such dogmas as
human superstitions merely, has affected
chiefly the clergy rather than the laity. 1t
has pcrmeated the theological seminaries
extensively. and appears in theological dis
ouisitions and text books, those OF Dr.
BRIGGS and DR.. MoGIFPERr, for instance;
but these and their conclusions would have
been utterly unknown to the great mass OF
the laity II they had n lot been brought to their
attention by the trial and suspension OF DR..
BRTGGs by the Presbyterian Church and by
the sanction OF his criticism by the Episco-
pal Church in his ordination to Its priest
hood in the face OF that condemnation. By
this means the theological undermining Of
the foundation of the Christian religion has
been made known to the body OF the intelli-
gent lalty, and unquestionably 1t has dis
turbed, II not destroyed, the religious
faith OF many OF them: yet for the
10 tn cit
interest. They do not even consider 1t.
Multitudes from the Christian Endeavor
Societies meet in convention inspired by
the old faith. Religious campmeetings go
on in all parts OF the Union with undimin-
ished ardor Of belief. Tho questioning does
not enter feminine minds to any extent,
Of which the vast correspondence Of The
Sun bears witness. Bishop PoTTER's de-
scription OF the Bible as "a literature,
which must accept tho conditions Of its
existence" in his preface to the published
sermon OF one Of his clergy at the ordina-
tion OF DIR. BRIGGS, has stirred up an
nstonished protest throughout the Epis-
copal Church, and the end is not yet. At
the Gospel Tent in New York reviSalistio
meetings like those Of the past are occur
ring and are drawing crowded audiences OF
serious people. On the other side, how
ever, It must be acknowledged that a large
part OF educated men, more particularly
young men, are assuming an attitude
toward the Bible which is distinctly ag-
nostlc; they reject dogma altogether, and
yield only to natural demonstration.
Finally, the circumstance that The
SuN's mail daily iS filled with lettars
touching the subject Of religion Is Of itself
sufficient evidence Of the profound con-
Germ at the present day In the mystery OF
the origin OF man and his spiritual gov
eminent.
