A WARNING TO ENGLAND
SOUNDED BY SCIENTISTS

creased on account of economies and
great returns. The trusts would have
the power to fix prices at their dis
cretion, and in some cases would be
much tempted TO raise them beyond
what competitive prices would have
heen
Nevertheless, the sense of self-inter-
est, If not of pecuniary interest, would
operate as check in important cases.
Moreover. self-interest would doubtless
prevent the reduction of wages below
former levels from the increasingly
clear perception of intelligent man
ayers, that good labor was worth high
wages and inferior labor was dear even
at low prices.
Theories and Experiments.
These general theoretic conclusions
were afterward compared with the re-
suits of some notable experiments in
trusts. as gathered from American
economists, with view 10 test their
soundness and applicability to real
cases that might arise. especially i'll
countries under the system of protec-
tion which gave much fuller scope to
the fiotation of a trust.
Most of the records of the progress in
various lines of scientific Investigations
announced thus far are too technical
for general popular comprehension.
Prof. Schafer, in the physiology sec
tion. gave an interesting bit of news
about the vermiform appendix, which.
he said was not the only item in tho
human anatomy which had hitherto been
regarded as useless and superfluous.
There was another. he said, called the
pituitary, body of small glandulai
formation about the size of an acorn,
which is located at the base of the
brain.
Prof. Schafer has been experimenting
with extracts from 1t and injecting them
into live animals. The result has beer
that the kidneys have been stimulated
into activity. and his inference is that

Show Results of the South

LONDON. Sept 13.-The French anc
German army maneuvers last week are
held to confirm the contention that the
principles which governed the war in
South Africa are OF universal applica-
tion. The French showed that they ha6
abandoned the practice of moving troops
in large masses through difficult coun-
try and accepted the initiative of a
subaltern, even of private soldier, as
a necessary factor in certain phases of
war The German infantry were sspe-
cially instructed to use shelter trenches,
every other soldier carrying spade.
Mr.. Brodrick. the secretary of state
for war. has approved the scheme of

Practical Results of Dis

FLAW IN EDUCATIONAL METHODS
Believed That Statements Made Before
British Association for Advancement
of Sciences Will Complete Awaken
ing of Public Opinion.

LONDON. Sept. IA large section of
the scientific world regards the annual
meeting of the British Association for
the Advancement of Sciences as an epit-
ONE Of the years progress in human
knowledge. The session now being held
at Belfast is proving to be of the high
est interest in this respect, but the DOM
inant feature of the proceedings has been
the sharp arraignment of their country
by the Heading minds of Great Britain
for falling behind the rest of the world
in education. energy and enterprise.
1t has been pointed out in the boldest
language by the president. Prof. James
Dewar, and several other eminent men
OF science, that while Englishmen have
repeatedly discovered new scientific
principles and laws of great Importance,
it has been the Germans and Americans
who have made their practical appli-
cation until England is hopelessly be-
hind those countries in reaping the adj
vantages.
Kllagreed that it was the fundamental
defects. in the English systems of educa-
tion which were chiefly responsible for
modern progress. The speakers were all
too modest TO assert that British men of
science are still foremost in the pioneer
lines of investigation, though such must
be admitted while Lord Kelvin, Lord
Rayleigh. Prof. Dewar and DR.. Ramsay
are still in the van.
Their charge of ineffciency was
brought against the rank and file, the
practical workers in chemistry, physics,
engineering. and general invention The
proof of the indictment is notorious, and
the explanation, as all the speakers in
dicated. lies chiefly in the fact that no
educational facilities are provided in
England with which to train workers to
use the keys to power that are furnished
from time TO time by the best scientific
minds of the country.
May Complete Awakening.
There is good reason TO expect that
this stern warning from Belfast will

on the whole subject of education which
is now dominant in the public mind,
and although an almost hopeless con-
fusion of views prevails, this issue will

ong time to come.

NEGRO'S NARROW ESCAPE
FROM INFURIATED MOB
Arrested at Camden, N. J., and Shot
Policeman Shreeves Trying
to Get Away.

CAMDEN. n. J., Sept. 13.-Frank Dan
Atlanta, Ca. and who is suspected OF
being the man who committed the as
sault upon Mrs. Lydia Hudson at Mer-
chantsville last night, this morning shot
and probably fatally wounded officer
Isaac Shreeves, who had him under ar
rest. When Daniels attempted to es-
cape, the officer shot, inflicting a flesh
wound In the negro's leg.
Daniels returned the fire. one of the
shots taking effect in the officers stom-
ach. The negro then ran away, and a
number of men employed at the Penn
sylvania Railway shops at Pavonia
started in pursuit, recapturing the ne
gro. Infuriated both by the news of the
negros fiendish act last night and the
wounding of the officer, crowd of angry
citizens clamored for his delivery to
them with the intention of stringing him
up to tree.
With a squad Of eight policemen, the
man was finally brought to Camden, but
they had all they could do to protect
him, as the mob endeayored to break
into the courtroom.
During the exchange of shots between
the officer and negro. the ten-year- old
son of Christian Horning. wagon
builder, was shot in the arm by a stray
bullet. The negro was committed with
out bail.
Officer Shreeves is in Cooper Hospital
in critical condition. The physicians
located the bullet in the groin.
This is the second assault made upon
white women in Camden within three

NATURAL GAS FIELDS
American Company a Pio-

Supply Said to Be Larger Than Any

LONDON. Sept 13.-American initia-
tive and enterprise have again led the

fields near London. which are larger
than any known to exist in the United
States. These fields were first tapped
six years ago in Heathfield. in Sussex.

When they were 312 feet down the
smell of gas was powerful. They dis

burst of flames. nothing practical was

Light and Pressure.
The gas itself supplies both light and
pressure required in the deepest hole.
There is pressure of 200 feet to the
square inch. which is more than the
working pressure of most locomotives in
this country. The pressure is found
to rise steadily as the hole pierces
deeper into the beds of porous sand,
stone that cover the gas bearing strata.
The pressure is sufficient to carry gas
TO any of the large cities of England.
The output from the deepest boring Is
100000 cubic feet day, or one eighth
Of the total daily sale Of gas in Lon

The company, which is called the Ma

luired the sole right to lay gas mains
on all lines of the London and Brighton

he chief railways in the south OF Eng
and. Already a number OF houses In
