Irobiem of ,iviI:yasion.

Albany legislators are considering a
safe distance-the factories which exist at
Barren Island FOR the utilization of refuse.
The people on the Rockaway shore do not
like these factories. and protest against
them. The managers of the works on the
island once said that they used a patent
process. which gave forth no odor save "a
pleasant fragrance. resembling that Of
chocolate" But the Rockaway people do
not think the smell is at all like choco-
late. They say that if it is. the managers
must have a peculiar idea of the way choc-
olate smells.
The problem Of disposing of city refuse
is growing daily and the inventor who can
devise some way OF solving it will be a
fortunate man.
In London they have a crematory at
Shoreditch, which converts the rubbish
into electric power and helps to light the
city Ii is generally agEeed that city gar
bage ought 10 be utilized if possible. The
plant for disposing of it should pay its
own cost AT least But the question is how
10 do this. without making the place where
it is done offensive to everybody for miles

An Educational Fad.

One OF the fads of certain educators. a
few years ago. was that of ambideNtrous
training for the young. II was originated
by Charles Reade. who thought that a
child who could use both hands with equal
facility would have many advantages. and
in some schools the training was actually
attempted. But il was found that with
most children the inherited tendency 10
use the right hand was so strong that it
proved very troublesome 10 teach them
different mel hod and the whole scheme
was finally abandoned.
Il is said that the japanese are amhi-
deNtrcus TO certain extent and that the
artists Of that nation are accustomed to
use the LEFT hand when the right becomes
fatigued There are many things in which
Americans might well copy the quick wit

need of making parade of them and ex-
citing the Imagination of ignorant people
to dwell on their doings and their emo
ticns. 1t may be said on general princi-
pies that it is not good thing for ignor-
ant and Unbalanced persons to think too
much about crime in any form. 1t is too
apt to influence them in the direction Of
imitation, Human nature is prone to hys-
terra, and history shows that owing to this
or something else, lawlessness sometimes
becomes epidemic. OF course 1t is often
necessary TO publish the details of crime
or trial. that the public may protect
itself in future. or catch the criminal. But
it is not good to encourage the study CT
criminology in people who are not scien-
tific of mind and cool of judgment.

Dignifying % Nuisance.

We are heartily sorry to see disposl-
tion on the part of certain members of
Congress to notice the asinine attack OF
the beer bottle blower Macrum upon the
President and Secretary Hay. The charges
and insinuations INDUCED in by this per-
son, who has created an original American
role by running away from a post OF
honor and responsibility at a time of dan
ger, are silly and groundless on their face
Let il be admitted that the British au-
thorities at Cape Town or Durham did open
Macrum's letters from the Department.
Surely il was his duty instantly TO report
such an international affront. As we un-
derstand The matter the State Department
had never been given. hint of the occur

in the press This would seem to justify
suspicion that his memory is hardly accu
