The determination of birds is not alone
the work of fashionable vanity but of fash
iOnabfe giuttOny The recent seizure in a
New York cod-stOrage warehouse of great
numbers of dead birds during the close sea
son illustrates the easy evasion of the law
by those careless of consequences In hotels
travellers often find upon the bills of fare
the names of birds unknown to ornitholo-
gists and dictionary makers. When asked
what kind Of birds these represent the
walters are permitted to answer only by
smiles and silence. or by confessions Of ig-
norance. In the cold-storage house in New
York were found SO many birds that the
legal fines would have run to millions of
dollars What would they amount to for
the United States? AS a result of such
practices everywhere those butchers and
dealers who obey the law are really pun
ished for their honor while the reckless are
rewarded by great profits. We are fond Of
pointing out excellent spheres Of work and
usefulness for those who are greatly trou-
bied by few deaths of animals in scien-
tific labora tories. Why should this stupid
and ruinous war of determination of birds
with its great resultant suffering not arouse
the energies of the s. P. c. A.?

Count Won Wnldersee.

The departure of Count Won Waldersee
from China brings to 4 close an unusual
and a highly creditable experience in the
career Of that distinguished soldier. An
ordinary command in such a country in the
circumstances that confronted him would
have been difficult. but he found himself
at the head of a force composed OF repre-
sentatives of all the civilized powers, and
with a duty to perform which called more
for the arts of diplomacy than for those of
war. The enemy was not formidable. 1t
proved to he a comparatively easy matter
to drive him from the field. But then be-
gan the delicate problem of a long occupa-
tion Of the country by powers none too
friendly as to other issues and extremely
Jealous of one another as to Chinese is
sues How were the Japs and the Russians
to be held together-the Russians and the
Engish-and the French and Germans?
Count Won Waldersee proved equal to the
emergency. His work upon the whole was
well done. He made some mistakes. He
would have been a superhuman individual
if he had not. Things now and then went
wrong. Several of his special punitive ex-
petitions seemed unwise. and were sharply
criticised. Looting there is reason to be-
lieve was. as the result of lax discipline,
carried to excess. The allies here and there
in small way clashed The English and
the Russians had two. General
Chaffee on one occasion wrote a letter of
criticism of the Commander-in-chief, and
then in a manly way withdrew it. On the
very eve of his departure Count Won Wal
dersee attended the funeral of French
soldier who had been killed in a brawf be-
tween French and German troops.
But these are small matters in the gen.
eraI summing up. They weigh only as
whole. Count Won Waldersee was not him
self a looter. He showed no spirit of
cruelty toward the Chinese. although he
sCourged them after the fashion of a SOL
der And as for the few msunderstand-
iugs between the allies, his personal pres
cuces was not possible at every point. nor
We're his advices complete enough to make
him an arbitrator in every dispute. Neither
was his power sufficient to keep Russia out
Of Manchuria But in the main he held the
scales level, and the allies are withdraw
ing in a manner orderly and friendly.
thanks generally to the management of af
fairs
The triumph of Count Won Waldersee
therefore is more that of a diplomat than
that Of soldier. And yet as a soldier he
must have profited by his observations.
The sight of Japs. Russians. Americans,
Euglishmcn. FrenChmen, Italians, Aus
tri4ns and Germans all under arms and in
action. could not but convey to him many
valuable suggestions. He is returning
home. may be sure, with his horizon
widened, and his stock Of valuable informa-
ton largely augmented.

Gas Meters.

The complaint of citizen about leaky
gas meter and the answer submitted~by the
| inspector warrant an inquiry by the COM
missioners into the facts, not only OF t.hs
case but of others raising a similar ques-
tion and also into the state of the law and
| the practice regarding meter inspection. 1t
appears in this case that the gas company,
| after a meter had been removed upon COM
| plant. put in service dangerously leaking
| meter which bore the marks of an 1nspec-
| ton in November 1894 and which had not
! since been submitted to the inspector.
There is apparently nothing of public rec
| ord to indicate how many times, If any, the
faulty meter had been used in the six and
| a half years since inspection. The original
act creating the office of inspector of me-
ters passed in 1873 provides for the in
specton of all meters used by the company.
anu also for the inspection of all meters
| suspected by consumers, who are required
| to pay fee of 30 cents. This act provides
| no penalty for the use of uninSpected me-
| ters. The act of 1896. however, supplies
| this deficiency, providing that 'any gas
company or person placing gas meter in
service that has not been inspected, proved
| and sealed for each and every sucl
! violation shall be subject to penalty of
one hundred dollars" The law could hard
| ly have contemplated granting to the gas
! company the privilege of continuing meters
! in service after the original inspection re-
| gardless of their subsequent condition. 1t
would seem that a meter which has once
| been removed for cause from house has
| ceased to merit the designation of an in
| spected meter in the terms of the law.
/ However, this Is a matter for legal inter-
probation, and the Commissioners upon in
! quiry. will doubtless ascertain the precise
/ extent to which the practice has been pur-
| sued and how far the law is applicable or
/ is in need of amendment. 1t is apparent
| that some step, administrative, legal or leg
| islative, should be taken to prevent the
| use of disabled or leaky meters when the
| health of the people is directly involved as
| in the case of the complainant, not to men,
| tion the purse of the consumer. The fact
! as reported by the inspector himself that
the gas company has to his knowledge put
| meters in service that he has never seen
suggests the need of a consideration of the
office of gas inspector and of his RESPONSE

Germany's Foreign Schools.


FROM the New York Journal Of Commerce.
Germany watches over its children, and
children's children in foreign ports with
great solicitude. and does all 1t can to
maintain their national feeling. Wherever
there is any considerable German colony it
supports, or assists in supporting, German
schools so that the children of Germans
can have German education. There has
recently been announced the approximation
by the German government of $2J i13 for
German schools in Constantinople Buenos
rest, Pretoria and Johannesburg. Buenos
Ayres has three German schools Antwerp
two and Bucharest four. There are also
twenty-nine German schools in Brazil, a
dozen each In China, the British colonies
and Roumania, and only one less than a
dozen in Egypt

ing. Disorder in such place is worse
than elsewhere, for unless the misbehaving
person can be at once elected, task often
of great difficulty for the car crew, the
peaceable passengers are confronted with
the alternative of submitting to foul Ian
guage and even direct insults and threats
or of getting off the car. Sometimes the
second choice is impossible, especially when
the car is at distance from the city. In
any case the well-behaved passenger should
not be subjected to this necessity. The con-
ductors and motormen should be granted a
certain degree of police authority, and all
persons whom they place in custody for
misconduct on the cars should be dealt
with so severely as to afford radical OBJ
ject lesson to all others of the same class.
