CdRNEGIE'S LATEST.

Carnegie's latest, if not his best is good. He has given $sOO,0OO to the en- dowment fund of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School, the school of which Booker T. Washington is the head. In making the munificent gift Mir. Carnegie says of MT Washington: ''To me he seems one of the greatest of living men because his work is unique, the modern Moses who leads his race and lifts it through education to even better and higher things than a land flowing with milk and honey"
 This is a very cheering incident, and will greatly encourage the negroes and their helpers. MT. Washington has done great work with little money, and he now ought to have what he needs to work with. It wont puff him up, and it isn't likely that in his time We shall hear that the democratic spirit at Tuskegee is decreasing on account of the richness of the place.

of Zurich. who holds that the claims of the shareholders are based upon the protection accorded to the rights of pri- vate persons by international law. M. Fischer argues that, the rights of the Netherlands Railroad company are pri- vate rights, because the company is a private joint stock concern, constituted in accordance with Dutch law, and that which is true with respect to the pri- vate rights of individuals is no less true of those of a joint stock company. The annexation of the South African repub- lie, he says, does not give the British empire the right to retain the property of the company after the conclusion of peace.

her and one of the long type. They rowed in her in the boat race and won a sensational race after a long chase on very rough day. The next year (190O Dr. Ware designed another short boat for them, but owing to a. mistake of the builders she was utterly unsuitable and had to be discarded.
 They were thrown back upon the 1901 short boat. which was by this time weak and waterlogged, having. been badly put together; she was moreover much too small for them, and being an inferior crew they were hopelessly beaten, so that prejudice against short boats was created in the minds of the public.-Saturday Review. .-...., ,

AN INTER EsTENG OUESTI0N

All the Boer war questions aren't fully settled. During the war the Brit ish took possession of the Netherlands railroad, and finally annexed the South African republic to which it belonged.
 It appears that a good many French men were among the shareholders, and it is claimed that their private rights yet endure and are in no way affected by British occupation. This is the ten or of an article by M. Carlos Fischer in the Nouvelle Revue. He expresses doubt as to the impartiality of the Brit
 ish Commission on Transvaal conces- sions, and quotes the opinion of an em- inent Swiss jurisconsult, Professor Meili

AGAIN THE DRHYFUS CASE.

The celebrated Dreyfus case is again brought to notice by the appeal of Dreyfus to the French minister of war to reopen the case The application is based on the discovery of new evidence Dreyfus was convicted in 1894 by se- cret courtmartial of having sold or given secret military information tn B fercign power, presumably an en&a.y of France. After a public degradation on January 4, 1895. he was imprisoned on the He du Diable, near the coast of French Guiana. Later came the agita" tion by his friends to have the case revised and in 1899 he was given trial at Rennes by courtmartial. The court found him guilty by a. vote of 5 to ?, but found extenuating circumstances and condemned preyfus to ten years Imprisonment. The members of the courtmartial signed recommendation for mercy and the council of ministers later favored a pardon which was granted by President Loubet.
 Dreyfus does we'll to persist. Few outside of France believe he was fairly tried or fairly convicted and many in France look upon him as martyr. His appeal may embarrass the govern ment, but if he is innocent the govern nent ought to be embarrassed until the great wrong has been righted as far as it now can be.

THE PENSION LIST.

During the last ten months the pen sion list has vibrated across the million line twice. Last July the number of pensioners was 1,001, 1,494. In September it was 1,00O.732 but from that point it began to fall and on March 1 of this year there were only 997,414 pensioners on the roll. Commissioner Ware thinks that the special pension laws that were passed by Congress at the last session will serve to keep the total pensioners near the million mark. Under the re- gently enacted laws pensions may now be granted to a number of people who were formerly excluded from bounties, while at the same time increases of pensions were authorized in a large number of claims. T am now feeling the full effects of those laws" says Commissioner Ware, ''for over 10000 new applications came in during the month of March. In spite of all that I could do in the last ten months, and the fact that the office force was worked harder than ever before, the applica- tions gained 10000 in number. The new laws were responsible for many of the 10000 applications that were filed in March. However, we have made good headway in the last eighteen months in cutting down the number of pending claims. These now number 351, ,427 against half million 8 few years ago. I estimate that there are about 100000 soldiers who have not yet drawn a penny in pensions. Some of these men refuse to apply for pensions as a matter of principle, while others are barred from receiving pensions from one cause or another. I believe, however, that ul- timately most of these men will get up- on the pension roll. I get letters every day from old soldiers and am constantly meeting veterans who declare that they will never take a pension from Uncle Sam, but as l said before, I believe the time will come when nearly all of the 200,000 will be upon the pension roll"
 When the decrease in the pension list really begins it will be rapid. It has been forty-three years since the civil war began and the average age of the cid soldier is more than sixty years. It is estimated that the deaths among the pensioners this year will exceed 5000.

 None may know. !. l can see the lady's hands, White as lilies, as she stands Strumming fragments of Durand's
 On the keys. And l hear the thin, sweet strain Of the Plymouth hymns again, Like T sob of windleSs raln
 In the trees. She would play the minuet. For the stately stepping set, While the ardent dancers met
 Hands and hearts. Did the old-time spinet care If Dan Cupid, unaware, Pricked the breasts of brave and fait
 With his darts? Now the spiders with their floss Up and down the keyboard cross, And the strings are dull as dross,
 Once so bright. No one cares to touch the keys Stained old yellow worries Save the ghost some dreamer sees

EXPERIMENTS WITH A SHORT
 BOAT,

His desire was to design a boat of such length and with the greatest beam at such a point that the surface fric
 tion of the water against her sides should be reduced to a minimum. The natural effect of an eight being driven through the water is to cleave the wa ter asunder and to throw off wave on either side. The natural tendency of the water so thrown off is to flow back to it's original position. If the boat is too long and too narrow the waves so thrown off come back against her sides before she has passed out of the trough she has created and set up surface fric- tion against her sides. If the greatest beam is too far aft these waves do not come together until after she has passed and retard her pace by the suc- ton they create. A common instance of this is the we'll known fact that the trunk of tree is lowed with least re- sistance if lowed broad end first The ideal then which a boat designer aims at is that the waves which are thrown off from the point Of greatest beam, when her men are rowing their hard est, should meet exactly at the stern post. Dr. Wares boat differed from the ordinary type in that she was not only shorter and broader, but also in that she had a very bluff entry into the water, which gave her sort of snub appearance, her transverse sec l IL. complex theory which mad long been a favorite idea of the designer, and the line of her keel was quite flat instead of being slightly "cambered" or curved upward at the bow and stern. She carried the crew for whom she was built very we'll. She was very easy to sit, they found it easier to show their best form in her than in the long boat
 and she appeared to travel fast; but they never had a time trial between

The United States board of geo. graphic names rules that Pekin must be spelled with a final "g." In making this decision the board reverses itself Picking had always been spelled with a ''g'' from the first treaties of 1858, to 1860 down to February g. 1897, when the board of geographic names voted to shorten it to the Cantonese dialect sound, "Pekin." The war department is now somewhat embarrassed, since its connection with the expedition to China involved a mass of printed reports and maps, in which the most important names are misspelled, according to the latest decision.

Tn the canton of Freiburg, Switzer- land, the curious custom prevails of charging weli-to-do prisoners forty cents a day for the expenses incurred by the cantonal government in lodging and feeding them. Ten years ago a rich merchant was condemned to eight years imprisonment and at the outset of his term the authorities took from him $1, ,168 to cover the cost of his un- willing sejourn behind the prison walls The criminal however, effected his es- cape on the first day of his confinement and now. after ten years absence, when all legal possibility of retaining him has lapsed, he has returned to his native place and has sued the author lties for the return. of the money. Queer as it sounds. the Supreme court at Lausanne has returned a verdict in the merchants favor on the ground that the prison authorities of Freiburg are unable to prove that they have rendered value for the money forcibly taken from him.

When the late General Macdonald last visited his relatives in Scotland he wore curious watch. The curiosity did mot lie In the watch itself, which was of large size, but in the glass which was rough and thick. but served it's pur- pose as well as another. Macdonald was, very proud of this glass and told its story with much circumstance. One day during the soudan campaign he had broken the original glass and was pug zled to find 8 substitute for it in the desert. At last, however, he smashed a turnbler. The botton~was ground on a stone until it was fine enough, and the size he shaped until it fitted tightly into the setting. And so good was the ham, diwork that it lasted until he returned home. He never had it removed.
