Boston has in number of respects long en-
joyed a marked superiority over all other large
cities in America. one of these points of su-
periority conspicuous and generally noticed, is
found in her suburbs 1t has long been re-
marked by visitors TO the Ncw-Englaud me-
tropolis that the immediate enyirCns Of it are
peculiarly attractive. That happy circum-
stance is due. no doubt, to a variety Of causes.
Much must be credited to the natural lay of
the land ana the combination of land and
water. hill and plain. Still more is to be cred
tied To the taste and public spirit of the people
of those towns and villages. BY no means least,
however, should credit he given to the city of
Boston itself and its faTseeing and earnest eff
forts. through local and State legislation, 10
cure for itself Il worthy setting. Its activities
have largely and most successfully been cXertcd
through the Metropolitan Parks Commission
and the Charles River Basin Commission. which
have developed the immediate suburbs in a
tasteful manner and-ope Of tie most impor-
tant Notwithstanding to an harmonious
and consistent general plan
What has been the glory Of Boston has been
largely the reproach of New-York As often rs
appreciative visitors have praised the loveliness
OF Bostons suburbs. often have they or
others deplored New-York's lack of such set
ting. 1t must be confessed that the complaint
is not unfOunded. The suburbs OF New-YorE are
not, as a whole. worthy Of the metropolis. In
some details they are as charming IS even
those of Boston There are in Yonkers some
streets Of exquisite beauty, while parts Of Hast
ings, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley. Irvington and
Tarrytown can challenge comparison with any
rivals. The same may be said of White Plains.
Mount Vernon, Pelham, Larchmont and many
other places in Westchester County. But the
trouble is that there is little harmony of plan
Our suburbs are Il patchwork of good and bad
thrown promscuously together, and the deycl-
opment OF them is proceeding in a haphazard
manner II is high time for the task of sub
urban Improvement to be taken ia hand sari-
ously and intelligently. and it Is doubtful if any
better example can he followed than that Of
Boston. CT any better means of operation be
adopted than those which have there proved SO
successful. New York has advantages Of natu-
raj situation equal to those OF Boston or Of

4 MERTTED RECOGNITION.

II the plan suggested by some members of
the Army General Staff is carried out, new
dignity will be added to the military schools
OF the country. 1t is proposed to select from
the best Of these schools every year six honor
men for appointment to second leutenancies
in the regular army, subject 10 the customary
examination. The schools from which the Sc
lections Will be made must be those where the
military instruction IS directed by a regular
army officer, and as there now about
score of these schools in the country there will
probably be much sharp competition for the six
commissions
The military school, aside from the Academy
at West Point is comparatively new institu-
ton in this country. 1t had its origin in the
days when the military spirit was upon the
country when the boys who were too young TO
enlist formed military bodies in school. Play
ing soldier. which included, besides Il uniform,
drills military courtesy 10 superiors, healthful
exercise and practical experience in discipline.
was looked upon as harmless sport for the
boys; but its benefits were soon discovered by
parents and teachers, and when the war was
over the military school remained as one of
its results The crude military" system OF
the early days was improved until the schools
became worthy the attention of the govern
ment and officers of the regular establishment
were detailed TO instruct the boys who would
mix a little military with their literary and
scientific work.
The further recognition of the military schools
by the army authorities, by placing a number
of their honor men every year on level with
the graduates from West Point would be an
incentive to still better work at the schools and
would be potent factor also in the destruc-
ton of the useless, mischief breeding barriers
which have been reared between the West
Pointer and the officer who came from civil
life"

SIGHT AND RADTUlf.

An endeavor TO overcome total blindness with
radium was briefly reported several months
ago from Europe, and a similar effort has now
been made in this city. Such an experiment
has much TO commend it. Any new method of
dealing with defective vision which human in
gonuity can suggest and which is not attended
with risk deserves a trial. Nevertheless, the
utmost caution should be exercised in drawing
differences from the apparent benefit derived by
the Spitznadel child. The degree Of sensbility
to light and shadow which she exhibited after
treatment small, and a trained oculist
might attribute it to an entirely different cause.
Instances are on record Of an even more
marked improvement without any apparent ex-
PLANTATION. Until all conceivable chance Of error
has been eliminated, it would be iDjudicious to
rest any hope on so small basis.
Interesting questions of theory are raised by
experiments Of this kind Radium is used as
substitute for the vacuum tube because it is APP
parently more powerful For practical pur~
poses the character of its emanaton may be
regarded as identical with that discovered by
R6ntgen. As yet the principal service rendered
is in diagnosis. By means of the y ray sur
geons are able TO photograph the interior OF
the human body or an injured limb, or to OBJ
tain a feeting but instructive peep inside with
their own eyes. The remedial application is
still limited, and is probably founded on the
suppostion that the y ray has a germicidal in
fuence At present Of course, 1t cannot be
asserted that there is germ OF cancer, some
forms of which, when found on the surface,
occasionally yield to this sort Of treatment.
1t is conceivable. therefore, that the form Of
radiation in question. while different from
electricity may operate as the latter some
times does
If it were once demonstrated that it could
exercise n stimulating effect upon organ,
or nerve or n bit OF tissue, or patients
general health, the scope OF its usefulness
would he broadened II. then, any real help
We're afforded 10 poor vision by radium or an
Xray tube, the phenomenon would be more
ineligible. No one has yet found a specific
microbe of blindness. IT is not beyond tho

any other city in the world. She should be be-
hind no other in the improvement of them
A large part of NETWORKS suburbs may yet
be found within the city's own boundaries
and thus under its own jurisdiction mat is
true of much of The Bronx of Brooklyn of
Queens and of Richmond. In them the city
should extend the work we'll begun in the
laying, out of systems of parks and parlways.
The LAYING out and naming of streets, the indi-
cation of some streets for car lines and the in
violate reservation of others from such use, the
determination of the general character OF build
ings which may be erected, the planting OF trees
and many other details all need attention at the
earliest possible date. For the city is rapidly
growing and if its growth is not properly di-
Tected the result will be either lasting eyeSore
such as we may already see in more tha2
one product OF land boOms" in the outlying
parts of Brooklyn and The BrOnx-or the I'M
doing of what has been done, at great cost.
Just think how much better off we should be
to-day if those who laid out the central part
of Manhattan had taken for their model some
thing better than n gridiron!
But we should not stop there. The city is
deeply interested in its envrons beyond its
corporate limits, and the people of those en-
vrons and indeed Of the whole State, should
have some interest in their appropriate devel-
Opment. IT would, to that end, be an admirable
thing if there could be constituted under State
authority. some competent commission similar
to that which has dealt with the suburbs OF
Boston which should practically be Board OF
Public Works for the whole of WestcheSter,
and perhaps also of Putnam County, and TO
which should be committed the laying out of
roads, the establishment of trolley lines, the
planning of villages, the conservation OF
streams, lakes ana forests, and the general I'M
provement and adornment of the region. There
should be many more trolley lines laid out in
those suburbs. But they should be laid out
with an eye to utility, and also to the nonspolia-
ton Of highways designed for other uses. The
grabbing Of the Albany Post Road and other
such highways should thus be rendered for
ever impossible. The work Of such a commits
sion would be to promote, and not to discourage,
the building up of the region but it would pro-
mote it in an intelligent and unsefsh manner.
The result should be the creation of a suburban
region in the hill and lake country north Of
New-Yorz that would be second to no other in
the world for beauty, fer accessibility and for
desirability 4 place of residence for all sorts

BIZ. sREEHANrs ONE ISSUE.

Perhaps the best argument that has yet been
presented for the denomination of Mayor Low
is that furnished by Mr.. SLeeban in favor Of
the selection of some other candidate. Indeed
If he is right on the point, it would seem con-
elusive. and all who take his view must join in
urging upon Mr. Low the duty Of standing for
another term. lest the fusion company should
in the campaign bc seen presenting the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet left out. Mr.. Sheeban
says:
Two years ago We had many issues that
DO not have to-day. Then had Tammany in
power. We had Croker at the head Of things
We had Tammany controlling the police, and We
had Deyery To-day we have only one issue,
ana that is Lows administration
We are not sure by any means that all these
issues have disappeared, that other issues
respecting the character Of Tammany Hail are
not alive. Tammany Itself. that ''foulest blot
of Mr.. Shepard's characterization, is the same
old Tammany. The fact that it has been out
of office for two years may somewhat have
dulled The edge of the public suffering, but it
cannot have made the people forget its IN
broken career Of crime. They did not forget it
IN the three years before 1897, though they had
enjoyed a longer period of immunity than the
present but by a considerable ma jority sought
10 save themselves from Tammany, yet IN
fortunately failed through divided counsels
