VI. LABORrs LIPS SEALED.
He Declines TO Reveal What He
Knows About Dreyfus.

PARIS, Dec THE general expectation
of sensational disclosures in LabOri's eX-
plantations OF his rupture with Dreyfus has
thus far been disappointed, as ne an
nounces that his lips are sealed by pro-
fessionaI secrecy from telling the story of
the actual breaking Of relations with the
Dreyfus family. His articles up to now
have taken the form of a personal pOlemic
against NM. Reinach and Bernard Lazare,
but they have gone TO show how wide is
the breach between Dreyfus and Reinach
and the formers champion.
The friends of both sides are panied 70
read such letters as Lazare writes TO NJ
Labor, in which, declining 10 reply 70 GER
tain illusions by the latter, he says: 1t Is
unnecessary for me TO help you in throw
ing down your own statue. You appear
quite able to do the work yourself"
Ihe anti-Dreyfusard press naturally eX-
ult over what they describe as "a display
Of dirty Dreyfusard linen,' and, with
Machiavellian intention, urge Maitre La
bOri, now that he has been thrown over by
his ~ungrateful friends, 10 reveal the whole
supposed Dreyfusard conspiracy against
the army
On the other hand, NJ. Yves-Guyot, in the
Steele, says the adVersaries of DreyfuS are
mistaken If they imagine that any proof of
his guilt will emanate from the pOlemicS OF
his former. friends, but he repeats his pre-
nate the election Of 1902, as it did those of
1898.
The accusation of Major Carriere that
governmental pressure had been put on him
to plead I'm favor of the innocence ofDreyfus
continues TO be discussed. and General De
GaIlifret to-day again denied any part
therein and challenged his accusers to ar
raign him in the high court.

BITTERLY ~ANTI-AMERICAN.
London Saturday Review Suggests a
Brifish-German Alliance.

LONDON, Dec. I'm an intensely bitter
anti-American article the Saturday Review

check. Emperor William, it declares, sees
I'm the growing German population OF Chile
and Brazil the inevitable necessity for fu-
ture interference which, "in any form in
wolves a conflict with the United States"
This, the Saturday Review holds, IT is inn

If Great Britain is hostile. While not adj

the United States the Review says, iva

States against Germany. But in the event

KATE GREENAWAY.
She Set Before the Public Most De-
IiEhtfuI Children.

New York Post.
In the death of Kate Greenaway those
who were children a score Of years ago
have lost a friend, and the Illustrators art
has lost one who in a modest way marked
an era and set in motion a tendency. How
le~gitimately Miss Greenaway's way of see
ing and rendering the charm Of childhood
came through Thomas Stothard from Sir
Joshua, few of her critics nave seemed to
realize. There was, in fact, a ~frankness
and directness in her art that somehow
made criticism seem superfiuOus. And yet
Kate Greenaway has her assured place in
the history of art. Without that sensi-
tive Interpretation of child life, in which
Caldecott was her only rival, we should
hardly have had the children's books of
Boutet de Monvel-at least in their actual
form. Miss Greenaway, whether from her
study of Blake's children's books or other
wise, had arrived at the compromise be-
tween illustrative effectiveness and deco
rative effect, for which the -pre-Raphaelites
in more ambitious work had fumbled rath-
er vainly. Her popularity, too, which
reached to the creation Of a style OF dress
patterned on her Illustrations, was one OF
the rare cases where a great vogue is based
on a real sympathy with the best that is in
an artist. But such consideration are sec
ondary TO that quickened sense of an old
charm which the news of her death brings.
1t needed a poet of Mr.. Dobson's sensitive
ness TO render her quality in words. He
writes:
ART.
Min be a cot for the hours of play.
OF the kind that is built by Miss Green
away;
Where the walls are low and the roofs are
red,
And the birds are gay In the blue o'erhead:
And the dear little figures, In frocks and
frills,
Go roaming about at their own sweet wills.
And play with the pups" and "reprove
the calves
And do naught in the world Cbut Work. by
halves,
From Hunt the Slipper and 'Riddle-me-
rec

o AR OF the Household! Men may prate
OF their ways intense" and Italianate.-
They may soar on their wings OF sense,
and float
To the au della and the dim remote

the best;
To the end OF Time twill be still the same
For the Earth first laughed when the chill

least stable ground on which We can lay
the foundations Of our foreign policy.
Under the caption, Crisis In the British
Iron Industry" the Statist to-day, after
expatiarng on the enormous Developments
in this line IN the United States TO the
detriment Of Great Britain, earnestly ad-
vOcates the importing of ore from New
f~Oundland and Nova Scotia and the estab-
Hshment in nglan OF basic furnaces by
which alone that ore can be treated. The
revolution in the British industry must be-
gin with the construction of basic furnaces
for the utilization Of phosphoric ores the
paper adds, which soon Will be all that
IS available. But that Will not suffice TO
preserve our steel-making industry. We
must also merge our smelling and steel
making in one continuous, economical pro-
cess"
In confederation Of the Statist's remarks
IL is expected to-day that in the Scotch
steel trade many works will remain closed
throughout January owing TO the uncom-
batible competition Of America and the
continent and the dearth Of fresh orders.

serious disorders have ccurred at Soukel-

companies Of infantry, which were dis
patched to restore order, were stoned and
attacked with cudgels. When the soldiers
quelled the outbreak they found six Arabs
and two Turks were killed and that num-

UNCERTAINTIES OF ENGINEERING.
Accuracy Not Yet Achieved
in This Line.
Engineering Magazine.


Conflicts, discrepancies and compromises
are by no means confined to any one de-
partment of engineering. In hydraulic en-
cheering, for example, there are more
than a score of different formulate for the
computation of thickness of cast-iron
pipes. The sizes of wrought-iron pipes
have been standardized by some of the
leading manufacturers, but there are still
iron pipes sold which vary from the
standard. In casting forgings, though
these very advances indicate now much
yet remains undetermined. In tool steels
and their management there is yet much
to be learned. OF the innumerable possible
alloys. there are probably not more than
200, taking all the arts of construction and
manufacture into consideration, which
nave been investigated and found valuable
and useful. The subject of elastic limits
and their relation TO endurance under dead
and live loads, loads suddenly applied and
removed. and shocks, needs further and
exhaustive Investigation till such definite
and uniform results are obtained as will
establish laws of endurance beyond any
question.
The study of building materials and ce-
ments. and also of materials for paving
streets, Is far from complete Inc preserVa-
ton of metal structures is a problem as
yet only very partially solved. In heating
and ventilating there are yet many moot
questions. In gas engineering there re-
mains open debate upon many important
points of vital and fundamental interest.
Discussions and disputes upon undecided
points are found i'm almost every issue
of publications devoted TO electrical en-
cheering. Machinists are still at variance,
both in theory and practice, as TO the best
proportions Of the teeth of gear wheels.
The highest speed at which gearing ought
to be run is also in dispute. The whole
subject of friction and fabrication is
marked by difference OF opinion and doubt.
