THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.
Curious Lack Of Interest Concerning
These Appointments.

New York Commercial.
The announcement of DIR. Parkin presi-
dent of Lower Canada College, who is the
American agent of the trustees of the Cecil
Rhodes scholarship fund, that a general
plan for appointments has finally been ar
ranged serves to bring out into the light
again what appears to be a rather strange
lack of interest in this matter: or, more
strictly speaking, decadence of interest
in it, for the initial announcement of the
bequest most certainly made a marked i'm
preston here in the United States.
Aside from the rare educational oppor-
tunities that this bequest lays open for
young Americans of talents and ambition
the dollar and-cents side of the scholar
ship possesses unusual importance APP

Even in studentdom, if one may Judge at

seem TO be regarded as of much greater i'm
portance. Perhaps they are, from thor
oughly American point of view. And ii may
be. too, that real and substantial interest
in the Rhodes scholarships is to be looked
for i'm quarters where publicity is not much
sought after.
At the same time ii is probably true that
if a hundred American students were to be
maintained at Oxford three years apiece
for positions in boat crews or on football
teams, at a yearly cost of 100000, there
would be such tumbling over each other

GLASS HOUSES.


Detroit Journal.
1t is with feeling Of mild surprise. not
unmixed with resentment, that we hear
that Sir Francis Jeune, president of the
divorce court OF London. has ruled that
divorces granted by the divorce courts OF
Dakota are invalid and that those relying
upon the Dakota courts for the relief OF
matrimonial ills are actually amenable 10
the punishments of the law. interpreted
by Sir Francis and his perspicuous jury.
There are admittedly many in the United
States who do not think highly Of the Da-
kota divorce courts. Some think that as a
semi-annual destination for the ''smart
set" who either for social or monetary
reasons have been beguiled in mismated-
ness. Dakota is not doing her share in
FOSTERING up the national trait OF con-
stancy and unalterable single-mincedness
1t would be much better for Dakota II she
granted fewer divorces and raised more
wheat. IL II were not for Dakota there
would be fewer hyphenatsd names In the
blue books, fewer sensational stories in the
saffron publications and fewer smart en-
tertainments at Newport or Lonsomehurst-
by-the-Sea. Indeed. Dakota's expedient in
catering to the connubially tickle thereby
swelling the Dakota exchequer. has for
some time been a source of modification TO
all OF her sister States. IL was not remark
able that the courts of decorous Massachu-
sets refused to recognize the Dakota di-
States will follow the example OF Massa-
chusetts.
But censure coming from England 10
funny where ii isn't highly impairment
British aristocrats have encouraged our un-
fortunate Dakota with their patronage and
up to the present seemed thoroughly salts
fed with the goods delivered And they
use a great many divorces OF all makes in
Great Britain. They need them TO keep out
of Jail. Playwright Pinero and other An
glophobiacs have told this with a real
ism that is often startling, though most
convincing. The barrister whose address
led Sir Francis to put his structure upon
the Dakotan article said: The Dakota
divorce is a fraud on civilized jurispru-
dence." We hasten TO answer, more in
sorrow than in anger. that British society
is a fraud on the international marriage
vows. IL isn't just decent maybe for Da-
kota to grind out divorces like gasoline
runabouts, but IL is the corruption, the
brazen Indifference to tradition and con-
vention such as obtain in British society
that make even the divorce courts OF Da-
kota preferable 10 some British connubial
relations.

1t is remarkable that such an easy en-
cheering proposition as the cooling of
office buildings and one so conducive to
comfort is not in more general use. With
residence the task is not such an easy
one, for IL requires a pump, and this, in
turn, requires power 10 operate it and the
services of an attendant: but the Office
building has it's engineer in summer as
well as winter to look after the various
machinery now used to furnish conven-
fences that have come to be regarded as
ordinary, and the additional comfort of
an even and cool temperature could be
had at very little cost over the original in
stallation of pump SO connected with the
piping system that cold water could be
forced through the same pipes and radia-
tors that furnish heat in winter.
The windows and doors are kept closed
and ventilation had by the same means
that are used in winter. The circulation of
water at about 90 20 degrees will keep
the building at a temperature of 20 to IS
degrees. matter what the temperature
outside may be. 1t is entirely unnecessary
to have an artifcially low temperature for
the water, and, indeed, such a temperature,
or the use of ammonia or brine would
present difficulties in the way Of con-
densation, increased humidity of the atmos-
phere and corrosion of the pipes. City hy-
drant water well water is amply
cool enough for the purpose
Sooner later some office build
ings in Indianapolis will install such a
system. and the others will follow quickly
enough, in order to hold their tenants.
Certainly there is no reason why such a
plan should not be used in hospitals where
a cool and even temperature is so desir-
able. nor is there any reason why it should
not prove popular in flats and apartment
buildings. If the modern apartment house
can be made as inhabitable in summer in
winter. the owners may find it unnecessary
TO have a summer schedule of lower rem
tails, and the large centers of population
may become the great summer resorts.

In grape-growing countries the gathering
