BONFIRE
USED AS VEHICLE FOR CONVEY
ING ENTHUSIASM OF CA.
DIETS TO THE WORLD.
Young Men and Women Heap Huge
Pile Of C~ombustibles In Middle Of
Street and Give Hose Companies
a Little Run neutrality-suspicious.
for New Building Discussed.

The news of the passage Of the bill
providing for a gymnasium at the Uni.
versity of Wyoming set the boys Of the
institution going last night, and while
they did not send word to the fire de.
partment that they were going to have
a bonfire. causing that organization of
the city to brave the storm, they had
the bonfire and much other rejoicing.
They have promised to give three
days notice hereafter, III they pro
pose having celebrations OF this char.
acter, and the young men of the de.
Ipartment smoke the pipe of peace in
their wigwams and do not cry for more
scalps.
The executive committee of the
board of trustees informally discussed
tine measure and to a limited extent
outlined the plans to be pursued in the
matter. The proposed building will be
erected EAST of the mechanical build
ing and north Of the football gridirOn.
AS now contemplated, it will be one
story high. Of Boulder brick and Al
bany county stone trimmings, with a
metal truss roof. The floor area will
likely be so by 100 feet, and 1t is hop
ed to be able to build a gallery all
around the building. near the ceiling,
to be used as a race track, and as a
gallery in case Of balls AMI parties in
the hall. This gallery will probably
be ten or twelve feet wide. 1t is the in
tention of the committee TO erect as
large and handsome a building az pos
sible for the money appropriated, and
have it ready by the time the fall term
of school begins.
The committee has not yet consulted
an architect upon the matter, and will
not until the governor has signed the
bill. After that, as rapid Roadway as
possible will be made with the build
ing.

argues nothing against cur present
one. We have been increasing the navy
for something like a century and a
quarter.
Poultney Bigelow lectured to New
York audience upon the ease with
which Germany could whip us if it
pleased Germany could do the trick,
he thinks. while we were preparing
for hostilities. Before we were ready
to fight at all. he maintains, Germany
could land hundred thousand men
here and take New York and three
or four other places.
Mr.. Bigelow is wrong, as an anna
teur can plainly see, on the practical
proposition. Germany would not
dare to start an army across the
ocean. The danger of horrible loss
of life at the hands of an enemy even
vastly inferior is too great. But that
a theoretical comparison of naval
strength shows the United States to
be a power of enormous responsible
ties and interests with no militant
means of enforcing or defending its
policies is enough to stir the Ameri-
can people to demand the earliest pro-
lection of its naval strength.

Improbable bnt Important.

Warlike boasting is an odius trait
which we have been prone to indulge
on some past occasions when a
juster appreciation of our fighting
strength would have been infinitely
more becoming. We should avoid jim
goism as weak-headed and dangerous.
On the other hand a too great conf
dence in peace is weakness, says the
St. Louis Republic.
OF late the country, having in mind
the relative size of our navy, has made
some admissions calculated, perhaps.
to inspire a firm confidence in our
ability to take care of ourselves if
need be, and to enforce the Monroe
doctrine under all circumstances.
Most people, requiring no reassur-
ance on that score and holding the
conviction that we are invincible, do
not misinterpret the emphasis with
which our needs for an increased ma
Wy have been pressed upon congress.
That we ought to have larger navy

The authorities at Hamilton, Ohio,
who have in charge Albert Knapp. the
self-confessed murderer of five wo-
men, have properly and promptly
punctured the claim that the prisoner
is insane by having him examined by
an eminent alienist, who pronounces
the prisoner sane. 1t has become the
fashion in Jaw courts in the present
day TO raise the plea of insanity where
the accused has no other defense. This
plea, offered almost invariably as
last resort and when no justification
of the crime charged is possible, is
consequently made generally in de
Tense of the most atrocious crimes. II
is not to the credit of the American
courts that on such flimsy argument
many notorious murdererS have es-
capped the penalty of their misdeeds.
In the case of the men who killed
Mayor Harrison of Chicago and Presi-
dent Mckinley, public sentiment was
too strong to tolerate such n palpa-
BILE attempt to thwart justice but at
the trials of the less conspicuous but
equally brutal criminals it has usually
been successful.

Alcohol rs Fuel.

Il Since a Chicago professor has pro-
pounded the theory that alcohol has
a. scientific value as food, Detroit
chemist has discovered that the frey
liquid could Justify its name even
further and prove to be II cheap fuel
that would relieve all danger of a
coal famine if the government would
only remove the heavy revenue and
import taxes.
The chemist is j. F. Ingram, who
has made n deep study of the cost
and methods of manufacture, in con-
nection with the agitation in the
senate for the removal of the taxes
on the alcohol. He has found out
that alcohol can be made for ten
cents gallon, and that at that price
more heat can be produced for the
same money than from hard coal at
the nominal rates. Naturally the
mine owners and coal roads oppose
the change. In addition to the lower
ing of the cost, the new fuel would
give a greater cleanliness, besides re-
moving all the trouble of handling
the coal and ashes in residences.
For engines of all kinds, whether
stationary. on locomotives or steam
ships, he says the saving would be
great. There would be no firemen or
stOkers. Great space could be saved
also. he says, in the storage of the
fuel, as steamships now have to take
on hundreds of tons of coal the
greater part of which escapes in the
shape of ashes and smoke, while alco-
hol, being originally of smaller bulk,
would be entirely consumed.
The federal tax on alcohol is now
50. 10 Il gallon. Its market price is
$40. showing that the maker can
sell it for 30 cents under present con
ditions. The tariff makes this posi-
BILE. but if the tariff were removed.
he thinks the selling price would not
be greater. than ten cents. In Ger
many and France. where there isnno
tax, the selling price is Is cents. but
the chemist declares. the fluid could
be made much more cheaply in this
country because of the greater nat
ural resources.
Alcohol is made from all vegetable
substances containing starch or SUI
gar. Corn is one great source. All
roots such as sugar beets and pota-
toes, also contain alcohol. If the tax
were removed the thousands of tons
of waste from the beet sugar fac
tories could be utilized for fuel. In
the greater districts of the west
where fuel is so scarce and high that
corn is sometimes burned. the chem
fist says apparatus could be installed
in every house at a cost of $25 which
would turn out enough fuel for the
family from the waste products of the
farm.

deaths from pneumonia for over 10000
of population (for the whole country
were 1856. while in 1900 the rate was
increased to 13.49. At the same peri
DDS the deaths from consumption de-
creased from 1921 to 14.44 for each
10000 of population. The health of
ficer of Chicago reports more alarm
ing increase of mortality in that city
from pneumonia-an increase of $50
per cent in forty years. The average
of the disease largely increased since
the reports under the census of 1000
were gathered. The figures for 1902
are more alarming. The strongest
suggestions in the way of relief look
TO the cleanliness of street cars and
general sanity regulations as to the
