WORK AT THE HAGUE.

That is an agreeable announcement that the
United States and Mexico have agreed to sub
NIT dispute between them to the international
Court of Arbitration at The Hague for settle
ment It indicates the taking of one more step
in the worlds progress toward peace through
arbitration. We do not mean that in this par
ticular case war has thus been avoided. There
WAS no danger of war between this country
and its great republican neighbor. But every
dispute referred TO arbitration makes IT the
easier thus to refer the next dispute that may
anywhere arise, and the more mems minds are
thus turned toward arbitration the more they
will be turned away from war. 1t is auspicious
TO observe, too that at last the tribunal at The
Hague is TO have something to do. The remark
was made not long ago that that tribunal was
a do-nothing body; that after elaborately con-
stituting IT the nations We're systematically boy
cotting IT, Yet, as We then pointed out, even in
such apparent circumstances there was no cause
for discouragement or for pronouncing the
Peace Congress and the resulting arbitration
treaty a failure To-day the vindcation of the
arbitration scheme begins to assume tangible
form. There is work TO be done at The Hague
at last.
There is cause for satisfaction in the identity
of the two powers which have thus taken the
initiative In starting the machinery of inter-
national arbitration-or adjudication. They are
the only two American powers which were rep
resented at the House in the Woods, and they
are two Of the four republics which took part
in that historic congress. Republics have long
held honorable rank among the nations in both
peace and war, and States of the Western
Hemisphere have been the peers of those Of the
Eastern. Those facts are reconfrmed by the
leadership which these two American republics
are taking in cause which enlisted the active
sympathy and participation OF twenty powers
of Europe and four of Asia. Especially crafty
ing is ii that the United States should be a
party to the first case before the court, because
of the conspicuous part this country has played
in the promotion of international arbitration as
a substitute for war We might claim that the
first practical step toward arbitration was taken
in the Jay treaty of 1874, with its provision
for the reference Of disputes to mixed commits
sions." Certainly the most impressive example
OF arbitration in all history was that OF the
Alabama claims. In the hundred or more cases
of arbitration aud the nearly as many settle
ments by mixed commissions during the last
century the United States was n party more
frequently than any other Of the thirty-seven
nations which thus made appeal to reason
rather than TO force; and. finally, the United
States was eonspicuously active and influential

1t is not reasonable to expect the tunnel 10

sirable to separate the traffic, leaving the brldge

failure of through system to provide for every

ultimate benefit and it would be extremely
shortsighted TO make tunnel unifcation impos-

ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY.

franklin discovered that the lightning fash
was caused by electricity. Since his day it has
been observed that in calm weather as well as
in stormy there is difference in electrical
rressrre between the earth and the upper air
In q certain sense the atmosphere is natural
storage battery. Scores Of scientific men,
therefore have been tempted by the idea OF
tapping that reservoir and drawing OFF q sup
DIV for industrial purposes. Alexander Mac
Adie an American, is one of them. senor
Fripueras an electrical engineer, who lives in
the Canary Islands, is another. The latter eX-
merit thinks that he has worked out plan for
doing so. If he has succeeded he has done a
clever thing Until details forthcoming,
though. 1t will be well to regard his claims
with caution.
The task is much more complicated than one
might suppose. With voltage continually
varying, and with only a small quantity Of cleo
tricty available through a single conductor,
system Of terrestrial storage and a multiplicity
of wires leading the current down would seem
TO be necessary These would probably cost
so much compared with the actual output OF
electricity, that the apparatus would be far
more expensive than a steam or gas engine
and dynamo. The thing can unquesuonably
be done but unless 1t can be done eheaply the
operation will be Of no value to civilization.
The idea affords q close parallel TO the tide
motor and wave motor. genius may do some
thing with them some day, but just now they
are not economical devices

THE SUBWAY EXTENSION PROBLEM

Mr. Greatsinger may be right in saying that
sxhere are nine men who go TO Manhattan from
.sBrooklyn and return daily 10 one who comes
Isrom Manhattan TO Brooklyn and returns"
THAT is no sufficient argument, however. to
Justify wrenching the Broadway-Brooklyn sub
way extension from the rest Of the system and
making il into a mere passageway for the
R-ooklyn Rapid Transit trolley cars to the City
Hail Park ANY such assumption is based on
narrow and partial view Of the traffic problem
end ehortslgbted view at that Granted that
the hulk OF the interborough traffic is Brook
AYR traffic. Mr.. Greatsinger's figures do not
show what proportion Of this Brooklyn traffic
would change cars at the City Hall and go up
town in Manhattan. Neither DO they show what
proportion lives in.Brooklyn near enough 10 the
tunnel OF possible direct extensions 10 use it
without resort to trolley cars.

BAGGAGE SMASHING.

Among the railroad reforms much approved
and appIauded by travellers is the issue of
orders by several corporations of prominence
forbidding the banging about of railroad lug
gage In the riotOus manner which has been the
habit all over the United States. 1t is no ex
aggeration to say that in countless cases men
employed by the railroads have displayed per-
verted ambition to excel one another as bag
gage smashers," eager to show the strength of
their muscles and bent upon surprising their
rivals in wanton destruction of private property.
1t was high time for radical change in the
handling of baggage on all our railroads. Pas
sengers or American railways pay rates of fare
sufficient to entitle them to the decent protee-
ton of their baggage. In the face of the orders
recently sent out by railroad mana gers no apollo
gist for railroad employees can deny that there
has been too much baggage smashing from
Maine to Mexico. For this wrong there was
never shadow of eXtenuation. II was always
an outrage, and it is time it was stopped.

EXTENDING LIBRARY FUNCTIONS.

Public libraries, thanks to Mr.. Carnegie, ara
now so readily obtainable that if any town is
without one it may be said to be its own fault
With all the multiplication of books and OF the
opportunities to read them it may be questioned
whether the popular appreciation Of them as
means of culture is keeping pace with munich
pal pride and private philanthropy. One hears
frequent pessimistic references to the aimless-
ness and unproftableness Of library reading as
compared with the thoroughness with which
our forefathers assimilated the scanty stores of
knowledge they found on their fathers book
shelves.
Librarians have long been striving to teach
their readers how to use library, but in most
cases they have found difficulty in catching
those readers young enough. 1t was to furnish
this necessary early education that the officers
of the Boston Public Library In April, 1901,
asked the cooperation of the school authorities
in working out a plan of which the following
are the chief features:
The library sends once a year to each gram
mar and high school an employe who receives
applications for cards from pupils the library
engaging to place in each school fifty Or more
volumes for topical reference or for miscella-
neous reading. The teachers aid, of course, in
making proper selections. As far as possible,
books are also reserved for pupils at branch
stations of the library; catalogues are placed in
the schools and the pupils are invited to come
to the library and examine its art collections.
The library officials report that very satisfac-
tory progress has been made under this system.
At the end of ten months the number of schools
having permanent book depots had increased
from q to A, the collections varying from so
to 100 books in the grammar schools and from
100 to 200 in the high schools; 1900 children
had been supplied with library cards for the
first time; 4,661 volumes various subjects
had been reserved at the branches for the use
of pupils and hundreds of books had been
bought in duplicate for school uses. Much at
tention had been given at the branches to aid
ing children in courses of reading bearing upon
their studies; classes coming with their teachers
had received instruction in the use Of catalogues
and reference books; 50 portfolios of pictures
had been sent to the schools and exhibitions of
pictures had been held at the branches espe-
ciay for the benefit of pupils.
A somewhat similar, though much less am
bilious, experiment was made in this city
year or two ago, but it was discontinued after
few months for lack of funds. Perhaps it would
be impractieable to revive it before the new
central library building and the Carnegie
branches are finished: but in view of the pitia-
bly, small proportion of readers who now make
real use of the public library facilities, New
progress of the Boston plan and hope for the
day when its great foundation may undertake
similar work of popular education

work
Meantime arbitration apart from the court at
The Hague is proceeding with promise IN vafl-
Gus countries. The last fortnight has seen the
only civil war in the world ended on em1nentiy
humane and honorable terms. In two or three
countries petty instructions maintain TEDIOUS
existence; but apart from these latter the UNI
versaI peace Of the world is unbrokeh. we
might even say 1t is not menaced, for tnere
really is no serious threat of war anywhere
That is not to say war is impossible. War IS
always possible, and often comes suddenly ana
unexpectedly But without undue optimism we
may regard the present time as one that in
high degree makes for the lasting maintenance
OF worldwide peace.
