American STUDENT. in England.


The number of American historical research
students who have visited the archives OF this
country during the present year is stated to be
exceptionally large. aud the subjects upon which
they have be engaged are. usual. remarkable
for their originality and interest. Indeed Ameri-
can historical professors who cutirate the scIni-
mar system with such admirable results appear
TO have a positive genius for selecting subjects
whick lsnd themselves to further elucidation
from unedted MSS. At the present moment the
subject most in favor is the development Of
ceptional Jurisdictions. such as the Paatinatr
OF Durham and the Star Chamber, together with
the great economic problems connected with the
enclosure OF commons. the survival OF bondage.
the history of the great trading companies and
the emancipation Of colonial trade. On all these
and other important questions much good work
has appeared may be expected Such exem-
plary labors furnish still further indication u
the activity and success of the new school of
American history, which bids fair to rival the
schools Of France and Germany in its scien.if
methods while retaining An Anglo-saxon indi-
yiduaiity OF its own.

an effort to satisfy the German Government,
which has been unto. tunate lately as to meet
with nothing anywhere satisfactory to itself.

WATER METER PURCHASE
A Provision of the District Appropriation
Bill Discussed.

Among the provisions of the District ap~
preparation bill reported to the House yes
terday was one providing the sum of 1909
1or the purchase of water meters. These
meters, the bin provides, are to be placed
in such private residences as the owners
thereof shall desire. They are to be in
stalled at the expense of the property own
ers, but they shall at all times remain and
be the property of the water department.
Speaking to a reporter of The Star today
of this provision Of the bill, Capt. Beach,
the Engineer Commissioner of the District,
who has immediate supervision of the water
department, explained that it was inserted
at his request, and that the meters are
intended to perform a missionary purpose
That is. he said, it is believed that their
Introduction in the residences of such per-
sons as may express desire for them will
serve to show that a man can use a water
meter and have all the water he wants.
even for lavish use, without increasing the
water rent or without involving him in an
unreasonable and eXtravagant charge for
water. 1t is frequently said" remarked
capt. Beach, in reference to putting in
water meters, that water should be as free
as air. If it costs something to supply air
to the people, and il a man used more than
his share and was taking air from some
body else, l think all would be Wiling to
admit that they should control the supply
of air to some extent. The water meter
practically makes each man his own in
spector and the object of the appropriate ton
is simply missionary work.
Cost of the Meters.
The cost of the meters said Capt. Beach,
will run from $25 to $50 each, and the cost
Of installing them will be about 50 or So
apiece. There Is no compusion about the
matter. he added 1t being proposed to in
stall the meters only at the request of the
property owners. The rate to be charged
he said, will be three cents per LOCO gall
Ions, and he expressed himself as being
confident that in every case where a meter
is installed the results will be such as to
make the person using 1t an advocate of
the meter system. Few people, said Capt.
Beach, have any idea of the iramense
amount of water which is daily wasted
here. Other cities. he continued. have
adopted the meter system with t;reat ad-
vantage, not only in the matter of reduced
water rents, but also in the saving of the
water. The rates now in force here, he ex-
piained, are arbitrary ones, while the in
PRODUCTION of the meters he believes would
be perfectly fair and satisfactory solution
of this feature of the question. He ex-
PRESSED the opinion that an impartial trial
of the system can meet with the objection
of no one, and he is confident that once
tried, the system will demonstrate beyond
all question its desirabiIity both to the
users of water and also to the government

DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE
Inspection Of Plant and System Employed
in Atlanta, Ga.
Commfssfoners' Bill Before Congress
AuthorizinE New Contract-Manf-
cipal Control SuEgexted.

District Commissioner Wight and the
health officer. DIR. VIM. c. Woodward, to-
day returned from Atlanta Ga where they
went to inspect a garbage crematory plant.
Inc contract for collecting and disposing
OF the garbage Of the District expires the
5oth OF next June. and the Commissioners
nave forwarded to Congress the draft of a
Dill authorizing them to make new con-
tract or to have the work done by the
municipality. 1t was for the purpose of
furnishing Congress with additional infor-
mation upon the subject that Mr.. Wight
and DR.. Woodward visited Atlanta
Ihey made very close inspection of the
crematory plant there, and are of the opin-
ION that Ii is a most satisfactory one all
waste being consumed and no unpleasant
odors resulting. The garbage in Atlanta is
used, they found. for fuel, as is all other
city waste excepting the ashes. The ashes
are used for filling in the roads. All the
waste is collected by the city and delivered
at the crematory TO the contractor, and by
means or a separate fire even the smoke
Is consumed. The furnace is kept running
every day of the year
Mr.. Wight believes that some such sys-
tenn OF collection and disposal of city waste
OF every KIND should be adopted here. Just
Wnat II would cost is a question which he
mas not yet been able to definitely deter
mine, although he is Of the opinion that it
could all be done at a very reasonable rate.
In. Atlanta householders are taxed 81 each,
winch, he thinks, is probably less than the
people of the District pay every year for
the removal of their waste. He believes
that two furnaces should be established
here, because of the extent of the city, and
should that be done he would favor max
ing each furnace take the place of what are
known as public dumps. compelling people.
In the absence of municipal collection, to
forward all their waste to them
Mr.. Wight will present the results of his
observations of the Atlanta system and
those OF DR.. Woodward to his associates,
and also to Congress, and will recommend,
1t is understood. that the District should
collect and dispose of all waste including
garbage, ashes, paper, night soil, etc, be-
neving that not only would the results be
much more satisfactory from sanitary
standpoint, but also from about every point

employment on the railroads. and that dues
were deducted from the wages. of the en-
ployes. Mr.. Fitzpatrick said that another
condition was that employees should accept
the relief afforded by this association in
lieu of damages against the company.
He believed the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company conducted such an asso-
ciation..
Members of the Brotherhood, he said, had
been discharged by the Philadelphia and
Reading because of their affiliation with
that organization. No cause had been as
signed by the railroad officials in some
cases, while in others the men were in
formed that it was because they belonged

a recent cause for the discharge of men
was the organization by Reading men of a

they can present recommendation from
