MERITED RECOGNITION.

Woman is getting one of her rights in very conservative quarters in conserva- tive England, One of the British or ganizations of scientists-the Linnean Society for the Study of Natural His tory-has applied to the government for permission to "elect fellows without distinction of sex" This movement is in the direction of suitable recognition of women scientists by their male col leagues. It is understood that if learn ed women in England are admitted to membership in the Linnean Society the doors of other organizations will be opened to them, and they will be hon. ored with fellowships in the Royal Astronomical Society, the Geological and Chemical Societies and the Society of Antiquaries. MT. Francis Darwin, a son of the eminent scientist Charles Darwin, is an able champion of the right to recognition of erudite women. Science" he says, 'ls of no country, and should know no sex" It is signifl- cant that one of the most recently or ganized scientific societies in England the British Astronomical Association is open to both sexes. A woman is one of the presidents, while the fair sex is represented on the council of the association.
 This is cheering. Thus far women scientists are few, but it will not be surprising if by and by there are many more There may be so many that they societies. If that time comes it is to be hoped that they will be at least as po- lite to the men as the men now are to them.

l imps had gone on a bender about the
 time the message to the British king
 was being sent.
 One of the life patrols was at the 1 time pacing along the edge of the high
 sand bluff near the station when he was
 startled by a furious fusilade and se- ries of brilliant coruscatiOns from the wires at the tower tops. The eXplo-
 siOns, he vows, were as loud as small yacht cannon, and one of the sparks sent out in the air went like blazing bird for more than a quarter of mile
 and perched on the apex of telephone
 pole.
 l For ez much as a mtnit," he said, when telling of what he saw to a group of citizens at the railway station, this
 evening, that blamed streak of fire sot on that pole and blazed, en you ken bet , that it made me feel creepy. The air seemed ter be full of 'em, en they
 twisted ell squirmed en shot this way en that, like things yer see at dis play of fireworks"
 The blazing sparks on the pole top, and the air full of darting tongues of flame and the voIley firing of the ma chinery were reported by the patrol to the captain of the life saving station. ! They, too, were much disturbed by the report of gun-like noises, but when i they heard of spark the size of a l woOdcock flying about in the air, and
 of the big blazing visitant to one of the poles upon which is strung the govern ment telephone wire to the station, all hands gave the vicinity of the tele- phone instrument in the office plenty of sea room.
 After breakfast this morning there was knock at the door of the MarcOni company cottage. The caller was one of the life savers from the Cahoons
 Hollow with message from the cap
 tain of the station to Marconi asking if
 there were any danger likely to occur from working the government telephone
 while the wireless telegraph machinery was in operation.
 He told of the spark that took such long flight and finally rested on the pole, and honestly confessed that it gave him considerable concern. Marco nj was a bit amused by the commotion caused among the few who saw the electrical display, and explained to the messenger that there was nothing to
 fear, and he added, too, that though the telephone line runs within a few hun
 dred yards of the station, the influence
 of the wireless currents would not in- . terrupt business on the wire lines.-

THE MURDER IN wArERBUnY

The disregard of rights and of law which has occasionally shown itself in Waterbury since the beginning Of the trolley strike there showed itself in de- liberate and dastardly murder last night The news of the tragedy will horrify Connecticut. and will make a deep impression wherever it is read. That a quiet Sunday night should be chosen for the commission of such a deed accentuates it's dreadful and devil ish character. Of course all responsi- bility for the awful crime will be promptly disclaimed by the strikers. and it is to be hoped that they can hon. estly disclaim it. But the fact will re- main that it was committed in wickedly mistaken support of their cause, and their cause will suffer from it.
 There should not be and probably will rot he any delay or lack of vigor i'll efforts to unearth and punish the per- petrdtors of this deed. If Waterbury needs help in the matter she should have all she wants. Such an attack on law and rights should be resenteI with all tae force and skill which law and rights can command.

ShVENrY-Two rN4Rs YOUNG.

MT. Morris Steinert is seventy-two years young. as he cheerfully puts it,
 and that fact and several other facts
 were fitly celebrated by distinguished company at Harugari hall last evening. Among the other facts celebrated were that MT. Steinert is one of New Havens most useful and honored citizens; that he has done more than anybody else
 for the spread and advancement of the musical art in this city; that he has
 made shining and wholly legitimate success in business; that he has writ ten an autobiography that is full of in terest and charm; that he has won a host of friends by showing himself friendly; that the many years in which
 he has been, done and suffered have not dulled his quick sympathy or cooled the ardor of his goodwill; and that his honest, honorable, useful and highly successful career is gloriously crowned by the invention of the Steinertone, which will give him lasting fame and
 make the pianoforte a much more
 pleasing and adequate instrument than it has been.
 Though seventy-two years have rolled over MT. Steinert. and though some of
 them in their rolling have hurt, he is
 still in good health, good spirits and
 good hone. He has lived long, pros
 pered, and been helpful to others. May
 he continue to live and prosper and en-
 joy the friendship and respect which
 his life and work have won for him.

THY HE DIDN'T.

There is Royal Commission on the testimony" just as our Coal Strike com mission did. One of the recent witnesses was Sir Redvers Butler. and his re- marks were interesting. He said that the joss of the guns at Colenso was due to their being advanced too close to the enemy's position, contrary to his in- tention. The open nature of the ground and the exhaustion of the men made it impossible to keep them cover- ed after the failure of the attempt to rescue them. In order to rescue them, he said. he would have had to keep a large body os men under fire all day, and then might not have succeeded without great loss in removing them at night. He also gave explanations of his dispatch of December 15, 1899, to the War Office, in which he declared his view that he ought to let Ladysmith go and occupy good positions for the de- fence of South Natal" The expression, he declared, did not imply the surrender of Ladysmith, but the abandonment of the immediate attempt to relieve it. The Fifth division having been ordered by the government, without consulting him, to Modder river, he did not then consider that he was strong enough to
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-03-09

relieve Ladysmith. It seemed to him that the government, by sending rein- forcements in that direction, had com mitted themselves to preference for the relief of Kimberley; that it was. therefore. his duty to place before them from military point of view the meas ures best suited to meet the situation, leaving it to them to decide how far military considerations should prevail. He also explained his heliogram mes sage to Sir George White on December 1G, 1899. He meant that the steps sug- gested as to making terms, etc, were only to be taken if Sir George White could not hold out for a month. He thought that it would have been quite practicable for the latter to break out and join hands with him, and, although he did not like to ask General White di- rectly to attempt this, he thought that the message might induce him to do so. With regard to Spion Kop, he consider ed that the action was not without ad- vantage, as his men gained in knowl- edge of war and in confidence, while great loss both in men and morale was inflicted on tt:e enemy.
 This explanation of why he didn't is interesting, though perhaps not very important now. It indicates, for one thing, how situation might appear to those who were doing the fighting when it looked different to those who stayed at home and talked about it.

Switzerland would be hard to beat in respect to the mixture of races and tongues in the rank and file of the army. This gives considerable trouble to the military authorities. An amusing in stance occurred recently at Fallenstadt recruiting station in the case of guard consisting of five men. The lieutenant in command spoke German: the second sergeant, spoke Italian only; the third, a corporal, spoke French and Spanish; the fourth, a private, could speak French and German, while the fifth, a private, could speak French, German and Italian-a babel of lan- guages, truly, and enough to puzzle even professor. When the lieutenant had to give an order to the sergeant the last named had to interpret it for him; when he wished to communicate with the corporal he had to requisition the linguistic services of the fourth man, and so on.
