examination for scientific positions in
the departments.
Special mention is made Of the fact
that not a single candidate appeared
on the 9Th inst. for examination for
positions of laboratory assistants in
the national bureau of standards ere
ated by the last Congress. The two
positions are worth $1,000 and $1,400
a year respectively to the incumbents.
These and other like positions are
said to be desirable in many ways,
and especially because the govern
ment laboratories are the best
equipped in the world.
There may be very good reasons
why young scientists do not scramble
for these positions. They may not
like the sort of examinations to which
they know they will be subjected.
They may not care to be thrust into
a government rut and kept there with
no opportunity for pursuing original
lines of scientific investigation or for
developing their individuality.
1t is easy enough to imagine rea-
sons why young men of brains and
scientific enthusiasm do not care to
place themselves where they may
never have an opportunity to do any
thing but perform tasks assigned by
others or to get either credit or de-
cent pay for the good work they may
be graciously permitted to do.

WILLFRENCH REPUBLIC EALL2

Will France. the only great repub-
Tic of Europe, give way to the pres
sure and allow the imperialists to put
Victor Napoleon in the Emperor's
chair? There are many indications of
a coming revolution. For thirty years
the rich of France have been growing
richer under republic, but naturally
they want a monarchy. as it would be
more favorable to wealth. The masses
of the people who have been growing
poorer Will not give armed aid to the
republic, which without reason they
connect with their poverty. On the
other hand, the royalists have all the
aid they need and may begin hostili-
ties at any time.
Nothing seemed at one time more
improbable than the accession OF Ma
poleon III. to the throne of France.
He was regarded as charlatan Of the
first water. He spent the earlier years
of his life in England, where no one
took him seriously; and yet for twenty
years he managed either as President
or Emperor to sway the destinies of
France. The unexpected has ever hap
pened in that home of political sur
prises. There are. therefore, many
reasons which make it possible, if not
probable, that Victor Napoleon may
one day reign as Emperor of the
French.
Victor Napoleon combines within

Edison and Tesla, the electricians,
are both much averse to music and
each experiences feeling of positive
discomfort when within the reach of
melodious sounds. 1t is recalled that
other men of acknowledged genius
have been similarly afflicted For in
stance, Byron had no ear for music,
and neither vocal nor instrumental af-
forded him the slightest pleasure. Ed
mund Burke, whose oratory was music
to his audiences, hated music. Charles
James Fox, another great orator; Dan
iel O'Connell, still another; William
Pitt, third; Robert Peel, a fourth
all OF these ran away from the sound
of music.

When the court that is to try the
sampson-Schley controversy meets in
September IL will discuss the object of
the famous loup cut by the Brooklyn
(Schley's flagship) while fighting Ger
vera's feet.
Schley was on board the Brooklyn,
which, while very swift, was equipped
with comparatively light armor. The
Infanta Maria Teresa headed toward
her, as IL to ram her, and Schley or
dered her to be turned in the direc-
tion opposite to that taken by the
spanish fleet. thus making loop from
left TO right. while the Spanish ships
were turning in the opposite direction
as they emerged from the harbor. In
making this turn the Brooklyn crossed
the bows 81 the Teyas,
The Yale expositor., 1901-08-09

Rear Admiral Schley has explained
that he made the loop because he
wished to avoid being rammed by the
Maria Teresa. Admiral Cervera said
that it was his purpose. If possible to
put the Brooklyn out of action. After
the loop had been made the Brooklyn
steamed in the direction taken by the
Spanish fleet, pouring dreadful fire
into the enemy.
All that Rear Admiral Schley will
say in answer to criticism OF the
course of the Brooklyn during the bat
tie of Santiago is that she inflicted 5S
per cent of the damage inflicted by the
American vessels and sustained So per
cent of the damage inflicted by the
Spanish fleet. He considers the show
ing quite sufficient.

were hostile to the whites and were
conspiring to disorganize labor and

public meetings were held and resolu-

Schweninger, the celebrated German
physician, who reduced Bismarck's S
weight nearly 100 pounds, invented a
special system of weight reduction.
His system aims to improve the con-
dition of the heart and liver, which
often have a tendency to disease in
fleshy people. 1t has no cut-and-dried
rules, as is the case with most sys-
tens, but is adapted to individual con-
ditiops In some cases sugar and fari-
naceoLs foods are allowed in moder-
alton, while in others they are strictly
prohibited. The great advantage OF
the Schweninger system over all 9TH
ers is that the reduction is permanent.
According to Schweninger all watery
articles of diet should be avoided as
far as possible. Thin beef and NUT
ton chop soup are allowed. OF bread
and farinaceous foods only six ounces
day are permitted. These six ounces
consist of gluten or stale bread or dry
toast Water may be taken in moder-
alton between meals. Fat soups,
sauces. spices, cereals. macaroni, po-
tatoes, pastry, pudding, pies, cake and
milk are on the black list. Tea and
coffee with milk, may be used. For
desserts, fruit is recommended, the
preference being given to grapes, or
anges, cherries, berries and acid fruits
In the matter of vegetables. there is a
wide range given-marrows, turnips.
asparagus, cauliflower, onions, celery,
cress, spinach, tomatoes, radishes, let
tuce and green's being permitted.

whose loyalty to the Legitimist prin-
ciple has been shaken by the ire
sponsibility of the Due d'Orleans. In
some respects, however, he is at dis
advantage; he is by no means so we'll
provided with worldly goods as his ri
val; for he depends entirely on an al
lowance made to him by the Empress
Eugenie. This is his greatest weak
ness, for it is said that she wishes to
end her days in France. Were her
nephews to make an unsuccessful
"coup d'etat," this would cease to be
within the limits Of possibility. and
many of his supporters fear he would
then forfeit his allowance.
He has, therefore, everything to lose
should he spell failure, and this must
tell against him in France, where dar-
ing is the one essential for success.
On the other hand, many elements are
fighting in his favor, and his ultimate
triumph is quite within the region of
practical politics. The republic has lost
its glamour. Many of its champions
will argue that it has produced able
and distinguished men, but they will
admit that they are all more or less
tainted by their contact with Govern
ment One scandal after another has
driven men from public life. Panama,
the decorations, boulangism, and "af-
faire" have successively destroyed
many a reputation.

Two Pnssenrerr DlslIkes.

A lady of a truly masculine spirit,
accompanied by small poodle, is said
to have failed sadly the other day in
an attempted reformatory movement.
She entered the smoking car of a
suburban train and sternly refused,
when approached by the conductor, to
go into another car, observing that
her presence would keep the other oc-
cupants from smoking. One thick
skinned wretch, however, insensible to
the claims of refinement and reform,
began to enjoy his accustomed cigar.
which was suddenly snatched from his
lips with the remark in high treble:
IF there is anything l do hate it is
tobacco smoking!" For a time the
offender was motionless, then, gravely
rising amid the curiosity of the as
sembled smokers, he took that little
poodle out of the lady's lap and gently
threw him through the window, sigh
ing: IF there is anything do hate it
is poodle Chicago Tribune.

Yale's School Catalogue.

This week there is issued from The
Expostor Office the Catalogue of Yale
Public Schools. 1t is a 40-page pamph-
let containing matter of much interest
to every citizen. Owing to the great
increase in the library list as also other
surprising growths, the booklet is much
larger than its predecessor, issued some
years ago. A comparison of the two
will show how rapidly our schools haye
advanced in all departments. In the
preparation of this catalogue much
credit is due Prof. j. @. Roode, whose
efforts have been interchangeable In the
gathering and arranging of matter for
the press.
In issuing this booklet thanks are
due the 26 merchants and business
men of Yale, as also some outside par
ties, by whose generous patronage the
expenses of the issue haye been met.
This shows their interest in our schools
and we trust the patronage may prove
to be bread cast upon the waters to all
of them. AS only 500 of these pamph-
let's are published, it will be very nee
essary for those receiving them to lay
them carefully by if they wish to use
the book for future reference.
