of bad spelling in the Chicago schools,

Nearly a week ago the New York
Herald printed a dispatch announcing
the cesslon OF strip OF land ten miles
wide at Nicaragua and Costa Rico, for
a ship canal. The News made mention
of the fact. A lot of newspapers which
did not have the dispatch denied the
truth of il utterly. This mornings
Boston Journal gets it from its own cor
respondent in this form:
"It is asserted I'm quarters usually in
formed that the president is about TO
send to the senate treaties with Mica
ragua and Costa Rico covering the nee
essary concessions to govern the right
OF way for the Isthmian canal. These
treaties. il is said. provide that a strip
ten miles wide. FIVE miles on each side
of the canal. shall be in the control OF
the United States and shall be consid-
cred as neutral territory, the United
States to patrol the canal and protect
the territory included, the only reser-
walton being that Nicaragua and Cos
ta Rico may in case OF necessity move
troops across the neutral strip, al
though neither country may place for
tificat,ons. camp troops or engage in
military operations on the neutral
ground. The United States guarantees
the neutrality of the canal and agrees
to maintain IT for the use of the ship
ping of the world. The treaties. 1t Is
said, are entirely independent of the
-Pauncefote treaty. which is now
asleep."

The New York Herald tells us about
q coal famine in Europe and why 1t
came about. The Herald says:
''The rise in the price of coal is shak-
ing the industrial world to its centre
and is a subject of serious discussion
in the cabinets of the great powers.
From an economic point of view, it's
an I'll wind abroad that doesn't blow
good to the United States. and the coal
famine in Europe is bringing urgent
inquiries to this country from Russia,
Austria, Germany. France and even
distant Japan.
The rise in prices started six months
ago, and during the last three months
the scarcity has become acute. Pri-
marily, the scarcity is due to the enor-
occurred in the old countries as well
as here, and more particularly in the
manufacture OF iron and steel, into
which coal so largely enters.
I'VE are now sending supplies to Ger
many through Hamburg and Rotter-
dam and also to Mediterranean ports.
Britain's coal mines are becoming ex-
pensive to work. while the surface OF
our own deposits has been scarcely
scratched. In supplying the Old World
needs we have an able rival In the terri
tory beyond our northeastern border.
In the home market alone, the demand
promises continued increase, provided
the great corporations that have now
practically fenced in all the immedl-
ately available fields are wise enough
TO refrain from advancing prices TO
q point which would check industrial
development, and thereby kill the goo,s
