Millionaires in health are they.
And i'm dancing blood.

Sticks and moss and mud;
AIillionaires in castles
In the air. and worth
Quite million times as much
AS castles on the earth.

Every single one!

Hardly any cares;
But in every lovely thing

~ n THE average of chances the
explosion by which three men
~ lost their lives in house on
Washington avenue on Thurs
day, would be more remarkable had it
not occurred under the circumstances
which attended this dreadful fatality.
The unfortunate man Robert Rankin
was an amateur entertainer, who used
q vinetOscope in his performances This
instrument was driven by gasoline.
Gasoline is "a powerful and erratic ex-
plosive. Even those who have a scien-
tific knowledge of its chemical irrita-
blity can hardly depend upon its nor
NAL action except in small and conf
paratively harmless quantities. Rankin
had a tank of it in the clubhouse in
which he had set up his vinetoscope
Calling upon two friends to witness or
assist him in his rehearsal they We're
careful to lock the door, and as it seems
had produced two or three pictures sat
isfactorily when by some means the
gasoline exploded and they were caught
like rat in a trap. In the shock of
the explosion and the ignition of their
clOlnlllS tney were overcome Dy the
fumes, or at any rate unable to open
the door, and whatever chance they
had of escaping with their lives was in
this way unfortunately cut off
Certainly there should be law, and
1t would be a useful and humane one,
to compel whoever is engaged in hand
ling explosives in quantities sufficient
to endanser life or property to hold a
state or municipal certificate of COM
potency in its manipulation. A lecture
in these days is altogether insipid that
is not set off by pictures thrown by a
vinetoscope, a kaleidoscope or some
other instrument of the kind with its
gaseous motor power What a catas-
trophe there would have been in a
crowded hall had Rankins tank cx-
ploded during a church entertainment.

the mission of the Boer generals, as
philanthropic emissaries gathering the
material sympathy OF the world in be-
half of their distressed countrymen.
Instinctively they were drawn to Ger
many as the most practical base for
their tour around the world There was
every preparation made there to re-
ceive them with enthusiasm. Although
this feeling Is not likely to be allayed
greatly in the Fatherland by the eyre gil
GUS bunder of Leyds or somebody else.
the ENJOYS will meet with no indirect
imperial recognition there and, worst of
all, may be passivcly ignored by the
official and semi-ofiicial hierarchy.
We are all little tired of the Boer
war. OF Boer bravery and British
laundering we have had surfeit. Sir
William Napier in his History of
Peninsular Wars" says: "In the Begin
ming of each war England has to seek
in blood the knowledge necessary to in
sure success, and like the nends pro-
sress toward Eden her conquering
course Is through chaos followed by
death" There has been scarcely any
apparent diminution in the price of the
blood knowledge she has acquired in all
the wars she has waged since 1872.
Here the Boer generals will be heart
lily welcomed as lecturers and expound-
ers of that fatal struggle which ended
In the overthrow of the independence OF
their country. They will, however do
well to adhere to this programme. We
arc not greatly interested in the cause
of the war, its justice or injustice.
These are subjects for the philosophic
consideration of posterlty and not for
us. The prescriptive right which fol-
lows upon conquest is the only justif-
cation which the world has ever de-
manded or is ever likely to demand for
territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

The tree-scraping craze which seems
to nave taken possession of the city
may be regarded with some misgivings.
To the average man 1t looks as though
1t would have been better to have per-
formed the operation five or six months
ago. We do not shear sheep in the
fall; and do not reserve summer gar
ments for winter wear. Horticulturists
as II rule recommend the protection Of
plants and shrubs by covering them to
ward off the chill blasts of winter
Why it should be deemed necessary to
remove the bark from shade trees at
this period in view of these facts, we
are at loss to understand.

the administration labors. We have
made vast sacrifices for Cuba. We do
not wish to recall them every time
we have to demonstrate with her. But
she should remember her president and
executive should not need be told that
we have no designs upon her liberty;
that we have no desire to dictate or
frame her national policy. All we ask
of her Is that she will have n little
patience. She endured for three hun
dred years Il despotism from which
we manumitted her; and now she
cannot bear with her friend and bene-
factor matter of a few months in
which to fulfill the one obligation that
we conceive we are bound morally and
politically to establish.

Bancroft yesterday opened up the
siphon which was put i'm some years
ago for the purpose of draining the
pond above Thirty-eighth street,
where the Lindberg boys were drown
ed on the Fourth. and the water was
started flowing. Owing 10 the fact
that the pipe is small and great
amount of water has collected it may
require week or more to drain it
sufficiently to do away with all dan
ger. Hereafter when it becomes
filled TO a dangerous depth, il will
be necessary to pump water into the
