ELECTRICITY DIRECT FROM COAL

Eastern scientists electrical engineers are skep

has discovered process for converting coal into cleo

This was to be expected. Whether the Chicago in

REAL DOGS oE wAR.

One Of the questions now vexing the minds Of the
officers at the head of the British army medical depart
ment is that relating to the employment OF dogs carry
water the wounded There is to be much division
of opinion the subject The matter indeed. not so
simple as it may at first sight the first place
1t is clear that in modern campaign of any prac-
teal service the number of dogs would be very
great as one admiral could only carry enough for
two or three Then, again. there is the point of
courage to be considered Some of the most intelligent
dogs-coles for instance-haye natural dread Of gun
fire. and would require prolonged training before they
could be induced face the racket proceeding from
modern field artillery The St Bernard naturally sug-
gests himself wei fitted in many respects for the post
but he is big beast and would present an easy mark
Moreover he is expensive and the supply him is not
large although it would increase rapidly, doubtless

military dogs in that country.

THE INQUIRY WELL BEGUN.

There has been constantly manifested in GER
tain quarters strong desire to make it appear
that Rear-Admiral Schley unlikely TO OBJ
tain Justice from the court of inquiry for which
he asked The court convened on Thursday, and
its first act was to sustain Rear-Admiral
ScEleys challenge and relieve Rear-Admiral
HOwison from further service one of its
members. There would seem to be no doubt that
he had expressed himself at various times
and places TO warrant his exclusion. which
must consequently be approved by all who want
the strictest mpartialty TO characterize the en-
tire proceedings of the court II should be said
also that Rear-Admiral Schley submitted his
objections TO Rear-Admiral Howison in per
fectly decorous manner, and that the latter
clearly showed that his only wish TO do his
duty. whether by remaining or retiring. as his
colleagues might decide. This settlement Of an
important initial question may. perhaps, relieve
to some extent the apprehensons of those who
have been so eagerly predicting that the court
would exhibit prejudice against Rear-Admiral
Schley.
Nor was this the only incident of the opening
session which ought TO produce tranqulliZ;ng
effect upon agitated minds. When, for example
the Judge-A Advocate enormously referred TO
Rear-Admiral Schley as the accused Admiral
Dewey instantly corrected that designation to
THE applicant The president of the court,
! furthermore, in greeting Rear-Admiral Schley
! informally during the recess, manifested with
characteristic heartiness his thorough good feel
ing toward brother officer whose reputation Is
at stake. but still officially unblemshed, and
from first TO last not the fantest trace of malev
olence was visible among the men designated to
discharge grave and delicate duty. 1t is to be
hoped that, in consideration of these plain, graf
flying and confidently expected facts. those per-
sons who have been cherishing discreditable
suspicious viii find themselves able TO await
the result with composure.
