THE GOVERNOR'S MESS1GE.

| The message of the new governor will
 be read with interest on account of the
 neWness, and it will be found interest," ing for other reasons. Governor Me- Lean hasn't followed the beaten track | in the making of his message. He had something to say and he has said it
 we'll His consideration of the consti-
 tutional reform, or revision, question
 strikes us as the best contribution to
 the discussion that has been made, and
 the conclusions he~reaches are perhaps as sensible and adequate as any that can be reached. He does not believe in constitutional convention and he thinks that the legislature can do all the tinkering necessary. He thinks sta
 bility better than uncertain change. He i've of credit and the general well-being of society as constant modification of fundamental law, and injustices in a constitution offending theory only may well be preferred to experimental at tempts at impossible ideals" He would remedy the injustice of the pres ent plan of representation by provid- ing that each town as a political unit should have one representative and that for each additional 10000 inhabitants 1t should be entitled to an additional member.
 What the governor has to say con- corning taxation IS well worth atten- ton. He doesn't settle the questions that everybody else has been unable to settle, but he does make progress when he says that if law could be framed that would by it's terms secure the ap- pointment of a scientific and broad minded student of fiscal matters as tax commissioner this officer would, in a short time, be worth many times his salary to the people of Connecticut.
 Others matters of importance are ably dealt with in the message. It is evident that the new governor knows the needs of the State and is going to 1 do what he can to improve the best | State in the Union.

mainly of carbonic oxide, free nitro ! gen, and free hydrogen. The immense volume of the products of combustion
 of this powder, owing to the exceeding ] lightness of these gases, gives it a very | high ballistic value, while at the same
 time the temperature is much lower and the erosive action upon the gun Is
 less than with smokeless powders rich
 in nitro-glycerine, which owe their high ballistic value to the great expansive power due to high temperature.
 The high explosive quality of picr.c
 acid, which contains too little oxygen
 for it's complete combustion, is another
 example where the larger volume of
 lighter gases compensates for the greater expansive value of heavier gases
 at high temperature produced with
 explosives rich in oxygen, which yield carbonlc acid in plac of carbonic oxide. If all of the carbon present in pyro-nitro- -cellulose emokeless powder were to combine to form carbonic oxide with minimum production of carbonic acid and aqueous vapor, to satisfy an ideal equation, still higher ballisttc re- { suits would be attained. But the pres sure in suns is not sufficiently high to effect this; whereas in the detonatiOn of picric acid a pressure from 15 to 20 times as high is instantly produced, under which the density and tempera- [ ture of the gases are such as to cause practically all of the carbon to con- bine with the oxygen, forming the low est oxide of carbon at the expense of the hydrogen present. Consequently, We get as the products of combustion the maximum of carbonic oxide, with [ free nitrogen and free hydrogen, and With minimum of carbonic acid and aqueous vapor Under high pressures and temperatures the chemical affinity of carbon is especially intensified Hudson Maxim in the Forum

MORE RICE. MORE MONET.

Oswald Wilson, proprietor of a
 southern paper published in the inter
 est of rice-growers, thinks we should
 eat more rice As it is we only eat
 five pounds per capita, while the people
 of Japan eat about one hundred pounds
 per capita, and it cannot truthfully be said that the Japanese are not hardy
 and enterprising. MT. Wilson points out that there is a great future for the rice industry in Louisiana and Texas.
 With our methods the rice man here can compete with the world, he says
 With the improved machinery and irri- gating methods one man cutivates one hundred acres of rice, while the Jap anese only cultivate one-third of an acre per man. We are able to make rice and ship it cheaper than any country on earth, and with Porto Rico consum- ing seventy pounds per capita and the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippines importing it ill vast quantities, with a duty of two cents per pound there ought not to be any question about the increase of our production to an inn mense extent The lands are cheap, good rice lands being obtainable at from $1O to $26 per acre, ready for culti- vation and already irrigated. One man produced crop this year on 120 acres. | that, after hauling it eighteen miles to the railroad, be sold for enough to pay all expenses, pay for the land and the machinery, buy all the eulti-

THE BUDDHISTS' APPEAL.
A Circular Concerning China Addres

A Circular Concerning China Address
 ed to the Ecelesiastics of the World.
 We, the Buddhists of Great Japan,
 brethren in the world that, the disturb
 ances in China having now reached
 their climax, her national prestige is at
 stake, the fundamental statues of the country have fallen into utter disorder.
 Under these circumstances the social
 distress as well as moral corruption
 have now reached pitch too serious to be described in detail, How is it possible for us who have pledged our selves to undertake the work of saliva tion to remain silent with folded hands?
 The question justifies itself when we consider that the present complications in China are likely to affect to a serf- ous extent the interests of the whole world. Still more forcibly does it as- sert itself when we consider that the disturbances in China are supposed to have had their origin in the workings of religion. Although in regard to schemes for the amelioration of the con- dition of the Middle Kingdom of future we have to look to the mutual negotia- tions between the proper authorities of China and the powers, yet we are fully convinced that the work of eradicating the roots of the evil and consolidating the permanent welfare and peace of China must necessarily be placed in the hands of the propagandists of religion. With these views of the situation we the followers of Buddha, out of friendly feeling toward China as neighbor, in discharge of a duty obligatory upon us as preachers of religion, and more par ticularly from the sense of respons- bility devolving upon us in connection with religion in China, have thought it eXpedient to submit our sentiments to the consideration of ecclesiastics the world; inasmuch as we are perfectly confident that the benevo- lent and generous ecelesiastics of the wirld, pardoning our audacity and re- the barriers now existing in re- spect of differences of religion, will ac- cede to and sympathize with our pro- posals for the sake of the welfare of the

sMoKELEss CANNON POWDER.

All modern smokeless powders consist
 either of nitro-cellulose of some specia
 degree of nitratton, or of mixture oi
 different grades, either with or without
 the addition of nitro glycerine. Fri
 nitro-celulose, or guncotton or the
 highest nit1ation, is too difficult to
 work and shrinl1s too badly to permit
 of it's being used alone. Mixed, how ever, with 10 per cent. of the more solu-
 ble gelatin-guncotto the resulting compound may be worked with but very little solvent. Upon this com pound a slight rise of temperature has the peculiar effect of increasing it's elasticity, which enables perfect granu- lation with an exceedingly small amount of solvent. When 10 per cent. of nitro -gycerine is employed, there should be used at first, in the material in the incorporating machine, about twice the quantity of the solvent that will be required In granulation, the ex- cess being removed by working between steel rolls, such as those used in the of celluloid, Powder made by this formula does not warp or crack in drying, and internal stress Is reduced to a maximum.
 -nitro-cellulose is now used exclu- sively by the government in the manu7 fracture of smoleless powder; and while it shrinks considerably in drying, still the grains are so tough, hard, and hornlike that, in spite Of any internal stress, they are capable of standing higher pressure than when made of a more brittle compound, even though greater care be exercised to avoid shrinkage. No nitro -glycerine is used In the present service powder, and the is so poor in oxygen that a grain burned in the air leaves a large quantity of unconsumed carbon. Burned in a gun, however, under ser vice pressure, most of the carbon com pines with the oxygen to produce car oonic oxide instead of carbonic acid. The products of combustion of this material are practically ali gaseous, md therefore smokeless, and consist

The New Haven Gas Light company has done a good thing for it's patrons and itself in reducing the price of gas. It's action will be much appreciated by many who have felt that they were pay ing too much, and it's popularity will be increased and made more solid.
 Now if the legislature which has just begun will take pains to reduce the quantity and improve the quality of the legislative gas the gas situation will be still further improved.

Referring to the loss of the German training ship Gneisenau, near Malaga, the Army and Navy Gazette (London) says: Though the German navy IS young, it has already long list of dis asters to chronicle. In 1860 the schoon- CT Frauenlob was lost in a typhoon in the far East, and the training ship Am- azone foundered few years later off the Dutch coast. In 1878 the Grosser Kurfurst sank after collision near Folkestone, in 1884 the training ship Undine forndered off the Danist coast, and in 1885 the Augusta went down in the Red Sea. In the terrific hurricane at Apia the Adler and Fiber were both lost, and the Iltis went down in Chinese waters in 1896, in circumstances we'll re- membered,''

The work of changing the system of defense against fire at the Brooklyn navy yard from fresh to salt water is now nearly completed. A reservoir twenty feet in diameter and thirty feet deep, with a capacity of 40,0o0 gallons, has been constructed. and a line of 40- inch cast iron pipe laid from the reser- voir to the sea wall. At the sea wall the pipe will be three feet below low water mark, and will incline six feet downward to the reservoir. It will act as main. and the water will be sent through by gravity. There are two driving pumps, each with delivering capacity of from 5000 to 4,O00 gallons a minute, and when all is completed it will be possible to throw ten or twelve powerful streams on fire in any part of the yard.

One of the latest developments of the automatic machine is an apparatus in which letters and telegrams may be placed to await the call of the ad- dresses. The communications are in- serted in the machine in such a man. ner that the name and address is plain ly visible through a small window. To obtain possession of a missive one places a penny in the slot. Should reply be necessary the insertion of an other penny into the instrument will insure the delivery of an envelope and sheet of note paper and the reply may be written upon small desk attached to the machine. It is stated that the English postal authorities have con sented to place letters and telegrams in these automatic machines if the ad- dress of the particular machine is sup piled.

The Lawrence (Kansas) W. c. T. IT.. has adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That however much we dep recate violence in any form, we are not prepared to censure Mrs. Nation for her highhanded action in smashing the fixtures and spilling the liquor in a Wichita saloon. Forbearanee towards lawlessness may not only cease to be a virtue, but too long continued it may come to be regarded as an indorsemant of their course by negligent officials, and lawbreakers themselves. It may be necessary for good people to become aggressive in their turn, and in some such way enforce their laws and pun ish lawlessness. Saloon property in Kansas has no more right to exist than a pirate ship on the high seas, and wno- ever can may rightly destroy it.
