DOMESTIC ENGINEERING

All kinds of degrees" were conferred
 this year by the universities and col
 leges upon the young men and young
 women who have devoted four years to
 the requirement of the higher learn ing" Some of these degrees stand for solid attainment in some more or less useful department of knowledge or re-
 search, while some are merely re-
 garded as decorations of scholarly en-
 deavors, badges of gentlemanly distinc-
 ttontion, as it were and of no signi-
 ficance so far as the practical fitness
 for some special calling in life, Is con-
 cerned. But there is no doubt about the
 meaning or significance of the degree os bachelor of science in domestic
 engineering" conferred by the Thomas s. Clarkson School of Technology of New York. Domestic engineering is the art of household management accord ing to scientific principles. It must be imagined that the course in domestic engineering is an ornamental frieze on the edge of the educational structure of IiiiioL AAiktol laASS CUIlp1ICu lo OlHef eIl- glneering courses. On the contrary, the
 kind of domestic engineering taught ir
 the Clarkson school extends over four years course. It takes just as long to become 8 domestic engineer" as 1t does to become a civil engineer or an eiec- trical engineer. The course includes sanitary science, public hygiene, heat ing, ventilation. cookery, dietetics. sew ing embroidery, textiles. laundering, home economies, and other subjects pertaining to the management of the modern home.

utaFy of the Chari, which empties it's
 waters into Lake Chad. Captain Lem
 fant hopes to discover a continuous
 nayigable waterway placing the Atlan-
 tic in communication with Lake Chad by utilizing the Lower Niger, the Benus
 as far as Yola, and from Yola the Mayo Kebi, a waterway traversing the Tu-
 buri marshes, and which in the flood
 seasons communicates with the LogO- lie, a tributary of the Chari. Captain
 Lenfant estimates that if he is success
 full in proving that this route is prac-
 ticable, as he believes it is, the journey from the mouth of the Niger to Lake
 Chad, and vice versa, will not take
 more than two months, and that the
 cost of carriage per ton will not exceed
 800 francs. The portable steam launch,
 made of steel, to be used in this expedi-
 ton is twelve metres long by two metres beam. It will be lowed up the Niger by one of the little Niger steam CTS through the English and German territory, whereby treaty navigation is
 free. At Yola the explorers will be left
 to their own unaided resources. The steam launch has been named the Be-
 noit Garnier, in memory of the founder of the fund which enables the Academy of Inscriptions and Bellies Lettres to grant a subsidy for the expedition

sLAYERY IN z4sziRan.

MT. Monson, Assistant Secretary in the British East Africa Administration, has made report on slavery and free labor in the dominions of the Sultan of Zanzibar, which include strip of coast land about ten miles wide. He says that the number of slaves is fast di- minishing through the automatic opera tion of the sultan's degree in 1SsO Moreover, any slave who is ilI-treated by his master is freed by the Adminis-
 tration, while from time. to time the masters themselves ernancipate their slaves, either as reward for good ser vice or as an act of piety. Others pur-
 chase their own freedom at prices rang ing from fifteen rupees to one hundred
 rupees. MT. Monson admits, however, that masters do not wish to lose their slaves and this for two reasons. In the first place, it is difficult to get free labor
 to replace them, and valuable produce may be lost, as has occurred in Zanzi-
 bar and Pen1ba, where, since the eman- eipation of the slaves, heavy losses have
 fallen on the Arab owners of clove
 plantations owing to the difficulty of
 procuring men to gather the crops. In
 reality, MT. Monson says, the word slavery, as commonly understood, is in-
 applicable to the Zanzibar situation. It
 is not to the masters interest to ill- treat his bondsmen, and, as matter of
 fact, he does not do so. Any case of |cruelty'is immediately punished and the victim liberated. The emancipation of slaves in large patches, he adds, has not proved a success in the past. Those freed by the Church Missionary Society did not turn out very well. Many of
 them returned to their masters and very few settled down to earn an honest livelihood. What vestiges of slavery yet remain will surely disappear before long, and he thinks that affairs may be safely and wisely left to take their own natural course.

EXPEDITION TO LAKE CHAD.

Captain Lenfant, with Naval Lieuten- ant Marcel Delevoye and Sergeant La- hure, will start from France on July 15 on board the Paraguay on an expedi- tion to Lake Chad, via the Niger. The enterprise, which is of g. purely geo. graphical and scientific character, has been organized under the patronage Of the French Colonial Ministry, with the pecuniary support of several private persons, and of associations such as the French African Committee, the Colo nial Office, and the Academy of In- scriptions and Bellies Lettres., At the present moment six months are re. quired to convey merchandise from the Atlantic coast to the Lake Chad dis trict, and the cost of carriage per ton amounts to no less than 1000 francs, or eighty pounds. The route followed is the Matade Railway to Leopoldville, to the Oubanghi, after which carriers have to be employed for sevral hun dred kilometres to the Ribalguy, trib-

MEDICAL" AND LEGAL" IN
 '-. SANITY

t L 3 1 qt
 A committee of physicians appointed by the probate court at Norwich, Conn, has reported that subject who was once sentenced to life Imprisonment for murder and subsequently acquitted is medically" but not legally insane. It Is full time such distinction should be made, since without it an agreement between the courts and medical ex- perts must be impracticable in certain cases, The courts are bound to have a distinct definition of that insanity which does not exempt an offender from the penalty prescribed by the law. It Is well known that a person may have positive delusfon, may be ranked by medical men as insane and may yet be fully responsible for such acts as do not have any relation to his delusion. Ill most of our courts 1t has been the custom to acquit of any criminal charge a person pronounced insane by medical experts, although his crime may have been independent of his insanity. The frequency with which at one time crimi- nals were acquitted through the plea of insanity led jurors to find some prison- ters same fin the face of expert testimony. l Within half a century the study of mental maladies has been greatly ad- vanced and many new classffications have been made. It does not follow | that because person is medically irl- sane (because aIienists find he has a sufficient lesion of the brain to need treatment) he is therefore without the power to resist wrong impulses; also, while person may be unable to control 1t and hence may be irresponsible. The English courts are not in harmony In
 their rulings with expert medical opin- ion. They follow the rule that when a person is sane enough to know the real nature of an act, he Is sane enough | to hang. Yet there have been many instances where men have been horror stricken by homieidal impulse and
 have voluntarily applied for admittance to an asylum under the knowledge that
 unless restrained by force they would kill somebody. ... ..t
 1 The new finding of the experts ill Con- necticut will place the plea of insanity on a better basis. Merely to prove the
 possession of an Authorization will not
 be to insure an acquittal. It will be necessary to show, or to offer good treason to believe that the delusion irl- 4 spired the act or impaired the mental powers to degree which would make the subject unaccountable. In this day are refinements of classification in relation to the insane such as were un-
 known to the profession when the English court rules were framed, and Included among the insane are persons
 who could have been rated as merely
 eccentric some years ago. It Is import
 ant that all insanity should not be held

4 CHANGE THAT IS NEEDED.

Judge Parker of New York, who has been t.mentioned'' as the Democratic nominee, for President next year. may not be it. but whether he is or is not, he has made a suggestion which ought to find favor and be acted on. He does mt see any need of keeping the country agitated for so long time between nominations and elections. He puts the case thus: In the days of our fore Fathers orators and political stump speakers travelled on horseback or on Boot. and the newspapers, when com- pared with those of to-day, were slow mediums for the dissemination of news. Even the farmers in these days are reading the daily newspapers to large extent instead of the weeklies of former days and of former generations. It might be that the country would well come a cutting down of the campaign period.
 The country would heartily welcome a cutting-down Of the campaign period. Two months is long enough for con- sideration of the arguments and the men. It has been the habit to keep everybody and everything stirred up for four or five months. A short and lively campaign would be better than long and dreary one. People get tired in the long campaigns. They might also get tired in a short campaign. but rest would be nearer.

CITE US BETraR AND MoRE.

The talk is that we are going to have
 better paper money than we have had.
 The Treasury department is experi-
 menting with paper treated by new
 chemical process, and finds that money
 can be made that is soft, pliable and
 velyety. Under the present process of printing paper money, the paper has to
 be thoroughly soaked in water. While
 it is in this soaked condition one side
 of the bill is printed. The sheet is then
 placed in a steam room and kept under high temperature for thirty days, the time necessary for the ink to dry. The sheet is again soaked as in the first in- stance and the reverse side of the bill printed. The thirty-day drying pro- cess then has to be repeated. In cases
 where third impression on the bill Is
 necessary, which is required when the printing is done in two colors. the wet ting and drying process has to be re- peated a third time. and another month
 is thus consumed in it's production. Be-
 sides the delay of this process, the wet ting and drying rot the fibre of the paper, and, although it is "starched" to give 1t the crisp appearance, the starch
 soon wears out and the bill becomes
 limp and worn In printing bank notes on paper treated by the new process no wetting Is necessary and the ink loses none of it's lustre, when applied to the paper, thus making handsomer and more durable bill than those made un- der the old process. .g Good.

The Superior court for Cook county, Illinois, has been called upon to decide whether the University of Chicago is operated for gain or is a purely religious and charitable institution. The city of Chicago takes one view of the case and the university the other. It came about over bill for water. The city has been supplying this article to the uni versity until the bill reached $2,S00
 Then it sent a collector to call on Dr. William R. Harper. The collector came back without the cash and the city threatened to shut off the water, where upon the university management peti- tioned the court for an injunction to re- strain the city from carrying out its threat. It is based on the city ordi- nance. exennpting from the payment of water bills religious, charitable or edu- cational institutions not operated for gain. In his petition President Harper ayers that the university is running be- hind at the rate of $2o0,oO0 a year, and that the deficit has to be made up by subscriptions.
