NOT ADEQUATE.

The Missouri legislators didn't do what they apparently meant to do in making their antitrust laws. The de- cision of the Missouri Supreme court in the custer proceedings brought by At torney General Crow against the Conti- mental Tobacco Company reveals the ex- istence of a very remarkable loophole in the State laws against trusts and monopolies. The State statutes strictly prohibit two or more competing indi- viduals or corporations from agreeing on prices. The legislators aimed at preventing all combinations in restraint of trade. The Supreme court rules, however, that the laws do not prohibit corporation, acting in good faith, from buying up a part or the whole of the stock of any business carried on in the State.
 Missouri was early in the battle against the trusts and she will be sur prised to find that she hasn't battled as successfully as she meant to or thought she had.

traced to the fact that because of mea- gre federal appropriations it was i'm possible to build the levees at those points of sufficient height and strength. Of the general efficacy of the levee method of protecting the alluvial lands there is good evidence. For example. as compared with the seven crevasses this year there were two hundred and eighty-tWo in the floods of 1882 and thirty-eight in those of 1887; in 1882 practically the whole of the alluvial lands were inundated, in 1897 thirty three per cent. and this, year only six teen per cent.
 As the government of the United States is rich and benevolent probably the appeal for help in levee building will be needed by it. And it is fair to say that money has been got from con- gress for far less useful work than le- vee-building.

 childh0Od's happy days

 were ill many ways.

 In ones sober estimation Constitute this happy childhood, then we
 had bully time. Kept from what we were inclined to, Forced to what we had no mind to, For our future welfare, as they told us. If
 we dared complain; Everlastingly corrected, Just as might have been expected, Some of us cut pretty ddoes when we
 broke at last our chain.
 There were times of pure enjoyment, Of cOngenial employment, Just as there are in the present; it was not

Should the experiments in progress in the neighborhood of Berne prove as successful as is anticipated, travellers in Switzerland in the summer of this year will be able to cross the noun tains by motor car instead of the usual post diligence. The result, if success ful, will be not only to allow travellers to make the different journeys in half the time, but to open to motorists the chances of driving over the mountain roads, which are at present closed to them on account of the horses.

Tn response to Russia's encroach- ments in Korea the Japanese govern- ment has arranged that every mail steamer leaving for that country shall carry one hundred and fifty male Jap- anese colonists. This marks change in Japanese policy not less revolution ary than in many other directions. It is only in modern Japan of the last thirty years that emigration has been permitted at all. Before then the na- tives were as strictly confined to the country, as foreigners were kept out side. At the time of the change a few promising young men were sent across the seas to acquire western learning at it's source Some of the more enterprise ing smuggled themselves on board for eign-bound ships.

: Tobiansky, Belgian engineer, seems to have found a way to make smoke useful. In his process the smoke is forced by fan into Altering tower charged with coke, or other porous ab~ serbent sprinkled with naphtha or al- cofol. and the soot is retained by the coke, while the filtered gases, mixed with vapor from the naphtha or al- cohol, are collected in a gasometer, to be fed to Welshach burners, stoves or gas engines The gaseous mixture, which has been named pyrogas, burns with a bright flame and an entire ab- sence of smoke. The value of pyrogas even makes it profitable to burn fuel of low grade for it's smoke alone, and it Is computed that plants of small cost will enable cities to derive a material income from the conversion of their garbage into purified smoke for light and power. Large factories and small establishments in Belgium are making experiments both in saving and in pro- ducing smoke for it's combustible gas.

Boston is a heavyweight. and it is therefore not surprising to read that she is slowly sinking into the sea, and that her harbor bottom tends slowly to become deeper. This is the statement of J, R. Freeman, a former member of the Boston Water Board and now con- sulting engineer for the New York Board. The statement was made in the course of report on the proposed Charles river dam, Mir Freeman add ed: Apparently this subsistence is at the rate of about an eighth of an inch iper wear. one inch in eight years, or a little more than a foot in each 100 years"

The gun made and used in Mafeking during the siege of that town in the re- cent South African war, and deposited by the king in the Royal United Service Institution Museum, has had the fol- lowing description attached to it.: "This gun was made in the railway workshops in Mafeking during the siege. The core is steel steam pipe, round which were Tapped bars of iron, which were hammered and turned into their present condition. The trunnions and breach are castings of brass.

COL. DIEHL TESTIFIES
IN LEONA3D WOOD INQUIRY

The Leonard Wood nomination in
g-siry by the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs was continued for a
short time today. after which the COM
mittee adjourned until Monday.
The only witness heard was Col
Charles s. Diehl. assistant general man
ager of a press association. who was
recalled TO explain a discrepancy of
az ties in the testimony given by him
and by Melville Z. Stone, the general
manager. When on the st and previous
". Colonel Diehl testified from mem
Dry Today he had memoranda, from
which he answered the questions in is
sue.
Colonel DiehTs testimony concerned
Captain Bellairs, the press correspOn-
dent, and what was known OF him in
Havana. He said the press associa-
ton had not learned Of the former
prison record of its representative until
after Bellairs' service in Cuba had end
ed He said he had no information con
corning how much General Wood knew
about the character OF Bellairs, but, in
view of the statement just given, ex-
pressed the opinion that General Wood
at that time knew nothing detrimental
to the correspondence character.

BRUTAL GIRLS PLACE
TEACHER IN A POND
Pupils of Tough School in Indiana Bind
Miss Sinclair and Treat Her
70 a Ducking.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 10.-Erline
Sinclair, a teacher in Cass township,
Sullivan county. was subjected to brutal
treatment by her pupils today when
a hole was cut in the ice and she was
forced into the water up to her Shout
ders and left there until rescued two
hours later by some passing farmers.
AS a result # her ducking, as the
pupils term it. she is suffering from
symptoms Of pneumonia.
The school is attended by children Of
coal miners, and 1t has long been known
as the toughest in the State. For years
a rule has been TO make the teacher
treat Just before the holidays. This
Miss Sinclair agreed to do. but when
the pupils wanted to know now she
proposed to treat them she refused TO
say. Yesterday afternoon the demand
was renewed. She again refused TO
tel. and the teacher was surrounded by
a dozen or fifteen girls and one boy and
overpowered and bound hama and foot
Miss Sinclair was taken to a pond a
short distance away, the ice was
broken, her feet We're fastened to a
hog trough and she was let down into
the water, which came half way UP to
her waist. She still refused to tell how
she would treat the school, and this an
gered the pupils. and they cut a hole
in the middle of the pond, placing Ee-
where the water came to her shoulders.
The pupils then returned to school,
leaving Miss Sinclair alone. On account
Of the weight of the hog trough, which
was practically constructed Of iron,
Miss Sinclair was unable to draw her
self up. and the chill Of the water was
fast benumbing her when her cries for
assistance were heard by farmers and
she was rescued.
She will prosecute her unruly pupils.
