BAD WATER THEIR THEME.
Papers by Henry Talbot and DR.
I<ober Read Last Night.

Two papers were read last evening at the
Central High schco'. under the auspices
of he Civic Centre, one by Henry Talbot
on the pollution of the waterways and wa
ter supplies of the country, and one by DR..
Kober on the germs of typhoid and their
eradication. Mr.. Talbot rs the chairman
OF the committee on river pollution of the
Game and Fish Protective Association of
the District of Columbia, and DIR. Kober is
the sanitary expert of the District. There
was a very small audience TO reward the
speakers for two interesting and instruct
i've papers. t--F
Mr. Talbot said. III partr I'VE send ships

ONE of the HERALD'S CORE spon-
dents recently reported the death of a
goat, from drinking Rio Grande water
or something equally evanescent.
whereupon another correspondent
questioned the truthfulnessl Of the re-
port, citing the testimony of several of
the ''oldest inhabitants" in support of
his declaration that goats never die.
Both correspondents and the public at
large will be relieved to know that
goats do die-actually die. Yea, slow
ly but surely popular superstitions are
being dispelled. From time immemo-
rial people have supposed that the art
icle which a goat could not digest
easily, comfortably and healthfully
was never grown nor made, but now it
appears they were sadly in error. Six
goats have persisted in Philadelphia
after INDUCING in diet of holiday
et ergreens. But it is comforting to
reflect that they were city goats,
not southwestern goats, and the south
west may still make the goat of the
southwest the emblem of imperishable
animal life.

plains that this state of affairs arises
not merely from a depleted vitality but
also by the CONSCIOUS or unconscious
contrast of the recognized low condi-
ton of vitality with the exhubersnce

tance to life and progress, in COM

A QUESTION has arisen at Niagara
Falls which is of interest to Ell Paso
and Juarez, as it may have bearing
on the operations of the projected cleo
trio railroad. The United States treas
ury department is called upon to decide
whether g current of electricity is or is
not subject to the duty imposed by the
customs tariff on unenumerated manu-
featured articles. According to Elec-
tricity, apublicationde devoted to electric
al progress, this issue has been raised by
the Niagara Falls Power company OF
New York against the Ontario Power
company of Canada, because the latter
corporation has extended its lines into
this country and become a competitor
of the former in furnishing light
and power to consumers. 1t
is claimed by the Niagara Falls
company that electricity can not only
be bought and sold, and is, therefore,
an article of value, but that it may be
measured as accurately ss any ether
product, and should pay an import tax
when it Is made beyond our internation-
al line and served through wires or
otherwise to purchasers In this country.
1t thus comes into competition with
American manufactures which are en-
titled to the benefits of the protective
principle ssspplied in the tariff statute.
The Ontario company, on the other
hand, presents the claim that cleo
tricity is not dutiable within the nean-
I'M of the law. The decision will be
awaited with interest

THE fire statistics of the New York
Journal of Commerce for 1899 make a
startling showing both of the extent OF
fire d@truc ton and of its alarming
growth. In the United States and
Canada last year fire destroyed proper
ty to the extent of S136, 773 200, an in
crease of mere than S17, 100000 over
1898 and more than 1926, 100000 over
those of 1897. No satisfactory explara-
ton has yet been made of the increase
of loss from year toyear. In the cities,
where nearly all the fires occur. we
are supposed to be building more and
more in fire-proof ways, and at the
same time improving our means of pre-
venting and extinguishing fires by the
lavish expenditure of money, public
and private. It seems.to be to no pur-
pose

IN one particular the United States
is not expanding-thati s, in embezzle-
ments. The record of moneys en-
bezzled during the past year is very in
teresting. The total amount wrong
fully distracted is shown to be 81, 21S,-
373. OF this total, banks lost S640, 300;
agents, s253,296 s1Os, 600 was secured
by forgery, 50, 345 came from the treas
uries of loan associs tions, 1926, 734 was
missed by postm asters, and 1868, PAL by
clerks, cashiers, etc. Not in twenty
years, with the single exception of
1882, when o., 600, 600 was taken by en-
bezzlers. have stealings OF this kind
remained at 90 low a figure. In 1898
nearly $4,000, 900 stuck to dishonest
hands. Retrogressioo In such q mat
ter is very gratifying news to report.

ALTITUDE AND CLIMATE.

The citizens of Ell Paso, or the visitor
to the city, who has not climbed to the
topmost peak of Mount Franklin has
not fully enjoyed the privileges OF liv'
ing in this wonderful part of the con-
tinent.
While it requires the exercise of
every atom of ones will to reach the
top of the mountain, the exsltation
that thrills the whole being when one
stands on the highest peak is a reward
for the two hours journey.
When the slight vertigo that mount
ain climbers experience has passed
away, and the exhilaration comes to
you that Railways comes when you have
climbed to a towering altitude and
gazed out over q wide world that ex-
pauds below,lyou will begin to feel
that ell ectric, that nervous surcharge,
that indomitable, interchangeable
spirit of elevation that makes Ell Paso
the liveliest, the most irrepressib BILE, the
most determined city in the southwest.
But altitude is not the only advant-
age Ell Paso possesses over every other
Texas city and most of the cities of the
sout Invest. Ell Paso is a city OF almost
perpe tual sunshine. Cloudy days are
as rare here as sunny days are' in
the cities of the north and east, and the
sti m ulating effect of the bright, sunny
weather Is seen in residents Of the city
and lin the light step and merry air of
sojourners at our hotels.
Thot olip,ota and weath =
influence feeling and conduct is scien'
Nfically established and universally
admitted, and THE HERALD Is glad to
see that meteorologists are materially
extending their Investigations along
this line, as their work must rebound
to the benefit of FL Paso. Past invest
legations have been concerned with the
larger effects of seasops'in which GER
tain weather conditions prevailed.
Modern Investigations deal with the
effects upon the conduct OF human be-
ings of daily variationsin temperature,
humidity, and the velocity OF the wind.
The human body is b machine capable
of developing only a certain amount of
energy per Individual, which output
must maintain his bodily functions,
and also provide reserve fund out of
which must be drawn the mental or
physical energy expended In daily Ia
Dor, or other exercise. It ia, there
fore, obvious thatssweather conditions
that can increase or reduce this fund
of surplus energy, will have more or
less influence On conduct.

immense advantages of manufac-

immense advantages of manufac-
turing our raw materials over selling
them to others. Suffice it to say
that if all the cooperating influences
tending toward the reduction of the
cost of cotton production could re-
ducc this cost l cent per pound, it
would amount to a saving of 5,000,-
600 III South Carolina. If the cotton
were made into ordinary white cloth,
such as is now being run by mills in
.he State, this converting of the raw
material into cloth would bring into
the State $65,o0O,000 more than
would be brought in by the selling
of the raw material.
In order for us to be able to build
and equip cotton mills to the best
advantage; to manage them success
fully, both mechanically and COM
mercially; to undertake the original
designing of fabrics-iD short, to
understand nll the details of cotton
manufacturing 30 as to reap the
highest possible benefit from it's, pro-
duction-it is highly important, in
fact necessary, for us as a people
awake t" our best interests to look
well into the subject of industrial
education, and especially into the
matter of textile training.
MIR. Beatty has also discussed tex
tile training as related directly to
cotton manufacture, which discus
sion will be given in the next COM
