Secretary Calhoun was the origi- nator of that work of science and from him the governments of Western Europe copied. Maury improved the application of the science greatly. I make the ex- tract below from the Life of Calhoun, mentioned page H.
 He (escretary Calhoun) revived the Military Academy, which he found In a very disordered state and left 1t in great perfection; he caused a minute and &C., curate survey to be made of the military frontier, inland and maritime. and pro- jected. through an able board of en. gineers. plan for their defence. In organizing the medical department. Mir. Calhoun, with those enlarged views and devotion to science which have ever characterized him. directed the surgeons at all the military posts over our vast country. to report accurately to the Surgeon General at Washington every case of disease, its character. its treat ment and the result. and also to keep a minute register of the weather. the tenn perature, the moisture and the winds, to be reported in like manner to the Sur geon General To enable them to com ply with the order, he directed that the surgeons at the various posts should be furnished with thermometers, barometers and hygrometers. They Che re- ports) have been recently collected and published in two volumes by Dr. Samuel Forney of the United States army. this example has already been followed by England on an enlarged scale and will be initiated, doubtless, by all civilized nations and will in time lead to most interesting discoveries in the sciences of medicine and meteorology. The honor of taking the first step will belong, under the administration of Mir. Calhoun, to our country"
 We are the South do not take due care of our history, hence this brief notice of the honor due to us in the energies of both Calhoun of South Carolina and Maury of Virginia.

Keppel's Narrow Escape.

It was announced the other day that Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, of the British navy, who is taking winter holiday in sunny climes. had arrived at Singapore. Not many people born as long ago as June l4, 1909. manage to get so far from home. Sir Henry Is the more to be congratulated on his long and still active life in that he began it rather inauspi- ciousy. It was supposed that he was dead when he was born and preparations were made for his burial, when a nurse discovered some signs of life.

The way in which appropriations have been made before the passage of the revenue bill has caused an alarm to be sounded by those whose duty 1t is to guard the treasury and look after the best Interests of the State.

A TYPICAL CASE.

Another typical story of boycotting in- tolerance comes from Waterbury, Conn.,. where. as readers of The Advertiser re- member, there was recently a strike among the street car employees. The se- quel of that affair-or one of the sequels- is the announcement that a merchant named Spencer had been forced to retire from his large meat and grocery busi- ness, which he established forty years ago. The cause? Oh. his customers boycotted his store because his wife rode on the cars of the Waterbury Street Car Company when ordered not to do so by the strikers"
 That is the reason and the only reason why a merchant, after two-score years of honorable business, was forced to close up and retire. There is no evidence that he took any part in the strike, or that he was in any way to blame for anything that was done. His wife, like any other American woman, thought she had the right to ride on the public street cars and did so. Of course, she was right in her conclusions, but the strikers were su- preme at the time. She had been or- dered not to do so." and she violated the order. This was sufficient in the eyes of the union to warrant the boycotting of the husband, and it was done, to the destruction of his business.

FALSE SWEARING ALLEGED.
Judge Mills Says Evil Affects the
Police Court.

Perjury Is the great evil that aff1icts the
Police Court. the great facility with which
some people come here and swear to almost
any statement or set Of circumstances, re-
gardless of the truth, is amazing. If the
law against perjury were more rigidly en-
forced and If greater care were taken to
punish those who swear falsely, this evil
might be eliminated TO a great extent and
there would be less false testimony before
out Justice"
The foregoing statement of Judge Mills
as made this morning in the United States
branch of the Police Court at the conclusion
of the trial of Alfred Contee and Spencer
Barnes, both colored. who were convicted
on a charge of stealing a quantity of cast
iron pipe from Mrs. Cans, who is erecting a
building at the corner Of Sd and Elm streets.
The men were arrested Saturday evening
by Detective Sergeant Herndon.
According to the testimony before the
court, the two men were employed on the
construction of Mrs. Cans building, and
late Friday evening they loaded up some
OF the pipe on the premises in dirt cart
and disposed of it to a junk dealer.
The prisoners In their testimony attempt
ed to implicate the foreman of the job in
the crime. but they were unable to sub
stantiate their charges. and the court fined
the prisoners SO each. with the equivalent
of spending thirty days In Jail. It was the
attempt of the prisoners to connect other
parties with their crime that called forth
the remarks of Judge Mills relative to per-
jury.

How Borah Stands.

While in Spokane this week Hon w.
E. Borah of Boise, was interve we'd by
a representative of the Spokane Review
concerning the present friction over the
appointment of Fl s. Wooley to the fat
fedral Office in Boise. The Review
quotes Mr.. Borah as follows:
when the senatorial eau us was
ended last winter" said Mr. Borah, IT
considered the incident closed so an
nounced, and have treated the affair
in that lig1t. 1t is not now my desire
TO &C ;entuate factional fights. The dis
tnrbance over the appointment to the
assay Office at Boise. and my name com
ing into print as an incident of the sena-
torial election, it is quite natural, per
sumo, for the trouble to be attributed
to me, as find there is an inclination
to SO do.
But the row is none of mine It
was not instigated by me- Those who
are making the fight are now men who
were exceedingly close to Senator Hey
burn, and who claim to have had his
assurance that Mr.. Cunningham. the
present incumbent, should be permitted
to remain in office. Mr.. Cunningham
was not asupporter of mine lie was
friend of Senator Shoup's first. and of
Mr.. Hey burn second. AS to whether
Senator Hepburn promised to retain
him in Office haye no knowledge
