Alcohol Automobiles,
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
No innovation in European automobile
practice within the last year or two has
attained such Importance as the trial of
alcohol in place of gasoline. The attempt
to effect a substitute has been stimulate ed
by, If 1t did not originate in, two potent
forces. One is the desire of the foreign
farmers to find a use for the superintendent
and cheap spirit manufactured from sugar
beet refuse and from potatoes. The other
is the aggressively helpful attitude assum-
ed by the French and German governments
Several exhibitions have been held within
the last few months to illustrate the many
practical applications which can be made
of alcohol; and in France, two months ago.
an elaborate series of tests was made, I'M
der the auspices of the minister of agri-
culture, to show its special fitness for pro-
peiling vehicles. BY the French it is Gus
tomary to employ a mixture of alcohol and
gasoline, and not the latter alone. because
the gasoline engine can then be retained with
little modification In Germany an effort
is being made to perfect a motor working
on the same general NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
but different enough in details to burn pure
alcohol. The problem has not been fully
worked out yet nor, for that matter, is the
economy of alcohol fully ascertained
Enough is known on this point however
and also as to it's efficiency, to make it a
formidable rival of gasoline In countries
where there Is no revenue tax on vegetable

MAD DOG SCARES.
Vicious Animals Should Not Range the
Streets and Parks.

From the Chicago Record Herald
There is tendency upon the part of some
of our exchanges to chide the public for
permitting itself to be moved by the mad
dog scare" The Pittsburg Gazette, for in
stance, says:
Not all dogs that show fury and bite are
mad dogs. and not all the people who die
after being bitten victims of hydropho-
bia. majority of them are victims of
their own imagnatons'
Pursuing the same subject and similar
line of argument, the Philadelphia Record
says:
1T is almost certain that the popular
fallacies about mad dogs and hydr ophobia
have killed more persons than has hydro
phobia itself. Fairly sensible persons, when
bitten by a cross dog, often become panic
stricken and die in great agony after eX-
hibiting many of the alleged symptoms of
hydrophobfa, although the dog in each case
may have been free of rabies''
These statements may be true enough
and 1t undoubtedly is unfortunate that peo-
pie sometimes permit themselves to be
scared to death. But why should dogs that
are merely vicious be permitted to run at
large? Why should dogs of any kind be
left to roam at will? Most people have the
good taste to keep their children from tear
ing around through the streets and over
their neghbors' lawns and from being pub
lie nuisances. Why should their dogs be
exempt from restrictions? If dogs were not
left to run loose there would be no unwar-
ranted mad dog ScareS.

Increase in Cremation.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

FROM the Brooklyn Eagle.
Cremation is one of the oldest forms of
disposal Of the dead, yet it is a form that
lapsed from use for centuries. 1t appears
to be In process of restoration. True, 1t
has made but little head against the GUS
tom of burial, yet there is an increase every
year in such proportion that we may look
for a wide adoption Of it within the next
quarter century. There are in this country
but twenty-six crematories, yet this is
against but two eighteen years ago. and
the number of crematfOns is $500 or more
a year When statistics were first collected
on the subject. eighteen years ago, the
annual cremations numbered sixteen. 1t is
because they are common and have so
ceased to be an occasion of comment that
an impression may have been created which
is contrary to this fact Of growth, but the
truth that about 1900 incinerations have
occurred in the United States, which. added
to the large number in Europe, certainly in
dicateS an increase.

THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE.
Mems Minds No Longer STEPPED in
Scriptural Phraseo1ogy.

Scriptural Phraseo1ogy.
From the New York Evening Post
Ignorance of the Bible, even among the
educated classes, has reached depth
which would have left our pious ancestors
aghast. President Thwing published, some
years ago, the results of an investigation
into the acquaintance of a typical freshman
class with the phraseology of the Bible. An
examination was set on the biblical al
lusions in Tennyson. The results would
have been laughable if they not been so
disheartening. The freshmen could not
have gone farther astray If they had been
asked to point out Tennysons Virgilian re-
Trains or echoes of Catullus. AS to the fact
of the declining and disappearing familiar
ity with the Bible there can be little dis
agreement. Things have reached such
pass that story recently told by an Eng
nshman or letters might easily be found
applicable to any part of the Bible. He
went into bookstore and inquired, Have
you the Apocrypha?" The young person
behind the counter reflected for a mement
and then asked, rs 1t a weekly or a month
ly?'
That the loss of the old saturation of the
popular mind with the language of the
English Bible is deplorable, few would
deny. 1t is like letting slip precious part
OF our race heritage. The sinewy style, the
plquant idiom, the haunting phrase-what
them? But they are going, or gone, from
the general memory. The educators at
Minneapolis did not overstate the extent
OF this literary loss of the Bible. We only
wish, for our part, that there were any
way OF making it good: but we fear that
the Educational Association was wrong
both in its account of the cause of the mis-
chief and it's prescription of the remedy.
we do not believe, that is to say, that the
vanishing knowledge of biblical incident
and dlctlon is due to the Punishment of the
Bible from the public schools as a theo-
logical book, or that it could be restored by
the reading of the Bible in the schoolroom
as pure example of the highest literature.
Where did our grandfathers get their in
innate familiarity with the splendid Eng
lish of King James version? How did it
become second nature to them to make
their daily ton, their family let
tiers, vivid with racy expressions or solemn
utterance taken instnctively from the BIZ
bic? They became mighty in the scriptures,
not in school but in the church, and above
all In the home, by means of repeated read
ing and compulsory memoriZing under a
