A New York clergyman of the Uni.
tartan faith has set people by the ears
through his open advocacy of killing
those persons who are suffering from
incurable diseases. He calls it by the
mild term of euthanasia, but it puts
the invalid out of business as effectu-
ally as decapitation. The physicians
are up in arms against the proposal
and announce that it is the duty of
their profession to maintain life as
long as possible, no matter how in
durable is the disease. f.

CANADA WOULD
IGNORE TREATY
Said to Be Building Armed Cruiser
for Great Lakes.
ACTION CAUSES N INT
Official Declares That No Agreement,
Prohibiting Such Movement,
Observation-Disclosures Not
Yet Notified.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 30.-The building
of a Canadian armed cruiser for the
great lakes has caused comment on the
treaty supposed to restrict such a move
ment. Under Secretary of State Pope
points out that no treaty exists between
Great Britain and the United States
limiting the number and armament OF
vessels to be maintained by the United
States or Canada on the great lakes.
There is an agreement to cease placing
them there after six months notice by
either country. Mr.. Pope doubts if it
is binding.
State Department Not Informed.
Washington, Dec. 30.-The state de-
partment Tuesday had not been in
formed that the Canadian government
contemplated placing an armed cruiser
on the lakes in addition to the few small
and Insignificant national vessels now
maintained there. Recently the Cana
dian government laid down a couple of
revenue cutters for lake service, and
although these were, being of modern
type, better vessels than those hereto
fore employed for this work, their con-
struction was not regarded here as
violating the treaty. Attention was
called to the matter, however, by some
of the congressman from the great lake
section, and the state department made
a quiet but effective inquiry into the
character of the Canadian cutters. 1t
annaor re tho+ q United Ctofoo pouol ofi
Ger visited the place where the vessels
We're being built and examined their
construction, a fact that gave rise to
some feeling on the part of the Cana
dams when they learned of the visit.
Will Attempt to Repeal Treaty.
AS soon as congress reconvenes after
the recess, there will without doubt be
a renewal of the attempt which has
been made annually for the last ten
years to secure a repeal or modification
of that section of the Rush treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain that limits the use of naval vessels
on the lake. Representative William
Alden Smith, of Michigan, has taken a
particularly advanced position in this
matter and his activity has, it is said,
excited a corresponding movement in
Canada. He has heard from some quar-
ter that he believes to be reliable a
statement that the Canadian govern
ment is about to enter a formal protest
against the location of the proposed
United States naval training station
on the great lakes, according to the
plans of the Taylor board. to which con-
gress is expected to give effect during
the present session. Anticipating such
protest, Mr.. Smith already has pre-
pared himself to renew with force the
attack upon the Rush treaty, holding
as he does that it has had a paralyzing
and disastrous effect upon the impor-
tant shipbui1ding industries of the
great lakes, as they would otherwise
be in position, not only to supply them
selves such naval vessels as might be
needed for training purposes on the
lakes, but could also enter into compe-
tition with the deep sea %shipbuilders
for larger naval construction.

The raisin crop of the United States
Is produced almost entirely in the sim

a commercial scale was first under.
taken in that state in 1873. Since that
date the industry has made such prog

to this crop. California now produces

UPPER ATMOSPHERE
Will Be Explored by Means of Bal
 looms With Instruments.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 A series of valuable experiments Is about to be carried out in connection with the aerial contests in St. Louis, having in view the exploration of the upper air of this continent. This has been done to some extent abroad but Is matter which has been more or less neglected in this country. These exper- iments are to be conducted under the su-
 pervision of c. Lawrence Rotch, the founder and director of the Meteorologi- cal Observatory at Blue Hill, near Bos- ton, Mass. It is proposed to send up number of balloons carrying self-record- ing instruments far into the upper air. An appropriation of $2,5O0 has been made to further the undertaking which will begin at an early date, if the various pieces of meteorological apparatus which have been ordered arrive In time.
 These sounding balloons" though in common use among European meteorol- ogists. have not been employed before in this country. Those to be used by MT. Rotch are of small size. only five or six feet in diameter and are maue of sheet Para rubber. When filled with hydro gen gas they ascend with increasing speed. the gas distendng the elastic re- ceptable all the while, until at heights
 varying from 10 to 12 miles the balloon bursts, and the instruments drop llgnty to the earth, supported by parachute
 If allowed to fall without hipdrance they
 would. of course, be broken.
 St. Louis will 1t is believe, be par
 tieularly favorable place for carrying on
 such a series of experiments, because, situated in the center Of the continent in the midst of flat. open country, and 1 with no large bodies Of water in the | vicinity, there is a pretty rair chance l that most of the instruments sent up | will be recovered. Ordinarily the para chute bearing the instruments falls at no great distance from the point of starting though In exceptional cases a
 strong wind will carry them a hundred
 miles or so. All the balloons dispatched from St. Louis this coming summer and
 autumn will have a printed request urg- ing that the finders do not meddle with the instruments, but send them back to the exposition grounds. and offering a suitable reward for the favor.
 Fifty balloons have been ordered from Germany and 20 recording instruments from France, and 1t is expected that for a time two ascensions at least each week will be maintained. Each balloon carries a barometer recording continual ly the heights which It reaches, and a thermometer which shows the corre- spending temperatures at these heights
