THE HUNTING season opened in this
State yesterday, and from all accounts
all kinds of game must have thought
that Mt. Pelee had broken loose in Viz
ginia. Dispatches from various sections
state that there was an indiscriminate
and wholesale slaughter of game-such
a slaughter that if kept up many days
will exterminate the game in Virginia
and make useless all game laws. 1t
seems that the more laws that are passed
to protect game the less protection Is
afforded.

A NEW EXPLosIvE-!Th latestin ex-
plosives, says Richard Guenther, Consul
General at Frankfort, Germany, in a
report to the State Department, is
powdered aluminium, mixed with nitrate
of ammonia and put upon the market I'M
der the name of Ammonia" This ex-
plosiye is said to be one of the surest and
safest known, as it cannot be exploded
by friction or blow, while otherwise con-
tanning all the requisites an explosive.
The fact that aluminium is not effected
by acid gives the important property to
ammonia of not being subject to disin-
tegnation. As it is not affected by frosts,
accidents which so often occur when
thawing ont frozen dynamite are not to
be feared. The explosion is caused by
an ordinary cap. Another important
property claimed for ammonia is that is
not affected by moisture.

WANTS JUDGE IMPEACHED. Ina let
ter which he had sent to President Roose-
welt, James w. NJ. Newlin, lawyer of
Philadelphia, urges the impeachmentand
removal of Andrew Kirkpatrick, United
States District Judge for New jersey.
Mr.. Newlin declares that Judge Kirkpat-
rick "should be impeached because he
has brought the administration of justice
into contempt" In support of this
charge he reviews atlength Judge Kirk
patrick intimate connection with cor
porations, and severely arraigns his ju-
dicial course in litigation affecting the
wrecked asphalt trust. Judge Kirk
patrick is president of the Federal Trust
Company, of Newark, and Mr.. Newlin
points out that directors associated with
the judge in that company are directors
in no less than l19 corporations. The
bar of New York, he says, has declared
against such dual connection by judge,
and he AYERS that "the evil example
ought to be removed" in New Jersey.

VACcINATIoN AND PLAGUE. Richard
Guenther, Consul General at Frankfort,
Germany, in a report to the State De-
partment, quotes German medical au-
thorities to the effect that vaccination is
effective against plague. The appearance
of the plague at European ports has given
rise to the discussion. Comparisons are
drawn between the present situation at
Hongkong and at Manila.
He quotes one authority as follows:
"At Manila the plague has subsidized very
materially and will probably soon disap-
pear, but il seems that it cannot be sup
pressed at Hongkong, The reason for
this can only be found in the fact that at
Manila preventive vaccination has been
compulsory and on large scale, includ-
ing the 60, 900 Chinese residents. 1t has
been proven that the vaccination in use
there, if repeated in intervals of 10 days,
is as certainly effective as vaccination
against smallpox"
