ROoseveIt's Attitude Toward Trusts

President Roosevelt and his administration
have faced the problems OF improving the laws
and enforcing the laws with good faith so
tirely above reproach that criticism
justly be brought against their policy, their
methods their motives They have been just
ready and willing to bring action against the
coal trust as against the Northern Securities.
But the present authority of the United States
commerce is confined to interstate mat
tiers. The anthracite coal industry is wholly
within the boundaries of Pennsylvania. No
knowing President Roosevelt's relation to the
great coal strike could possibly suppose that
any personal disposition to shield a particular
combination furnished a reason for failure to
proceed against the anthracite monopoly under
the Sherman act. The great service that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has rendered-and its importance
cannot be overstated-is to give the whole
try new sense of respect for law. The gen.
tlemen who form the Northern Securities Com
pany certainly had evil designs against the
welfare OF any class of people, but IL may
fairly be said that they tried to do in an indi-
rect way what the laws forbade them to do in
a direct way.-Review of Reviews for April

We are in debt to Japan for at least three
notable discoveries, two of which have already
saved many European lives. says the London
Academy The oldest of these is the. discovery
by Kitasato. a Japanese bacteriologist. of the

which is now regularly used and is by far the
most efficient remedy we possess for this terrible

A japanese observer named Sfliga has recently

that dire foe of the soldier in war time, one
doubts that this is the first step toward our

The third discovery is really more interesting
because it raises newer problems. There is in
the body Of each of pair of organs known
as the adrenal glands yet unknown to the public
though life could not continue without them.
II was japanese chemist, Takamine who iso-

Science Breyities.

A new acid has been discovered by DR.. Will
liam Foster. of Princeton University. which he
has named the trisulphoxyarsenic acid
1t has been found that the electrometer is so
accurately sensitive that il will detect in
minute an amount of matter which accumulates
1000. 900 years before there is enough of it
to affect the most sensitive chemical scales.
1t is said that Professor Markwald has discov-
cred minute quantities of a radioactive
substance in pitch-blende which is associated
with tellurium. On account of it's associations
he has named 1t rado-teurium. The professor
says the new substance is difficult to
extract than radium.
A notable industry in Paraguay is the prepa-
ration of essence of orange leaves. Some $50
years ago. the Jesuit priests. who then ruled
that country. planted the orange groves. which
now have developed into immense forests. This
essence is largely imported into France and the
United States for use in soap and perfumery
making. 1t is also used in Paraguay heal
ing ointment and hair tonic.
Keen observers have lately noticed reddish
ring inclosing whitish glare around the sun;
that phenomena, which was first seen in 1885,
lust after the Krakatoa eruption. This peculi-
arity has been since named Bishops ring. The
ring had diameter of 20 degrees in August OF
1902 but had diminished in size 20 degrees in
December, 1908. although settlement of coaster
dust was expected 10 increase its dimensions.
In a recent report Professor Green. principal
of the eye hospital attached to the Berlin Uni
versity says that in blind persons
are able to distinguish certain objects illumin-
ated by radum rays. He also found that those
whose optic had not been destroyed could
see objects in front OF a screen made fuorescent
by radium. He concludes by saying. however.
that the blind cannot expect for some time to
get any relief from this new element.

The increasing number of globe-trotters
who include Japan in their itinerary has
caused an enterprising japanese citizen
Mr.. Teiske Minami-to establish tourist
agency in Toxic for the purpose of facilitat-
ing travel throughout the islands. Mr. Min
ami issues g paper setting forth the at
fractions of his country and the advantages
to tourists of dealing with him, a copy of
which has been received by the Journal.
This paper not only contains valuable in
formation about Japan and its institutions,
but presents 1t in ingenious and entertain
ing style. Speaking of the products of the
country the paper says: Horticulture
products have been much neglected in
Japan on account of bad transportation
as they were more vegetarian, but in recent
years this industry has attained a great
prosperity" Flowers and Garden plants
are in great varieties 1t says, land plants
are largely exported abroad. Garden trees
in japanese gardens are peculiarly trained,
flower plants are not much used in our gar
dens like in European gardens. Kitchen
gardening Is also in prosperity. Since 1902
the government established a horticulture
experimental firm at Okitsu. Shizuokaken,
and we expect more development of the Gull

OF the cattle industry the journal says:
THE measures for improving the quality of
the live stock and increasing their number
have been taken by the government and the
public, and an satisfactory result can be
seen in the near future. In 1900 an expert
was dispatched to abroad to make pur-
chases OF cattle and swine

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN CHICAGO.

er the recent municipal election in Chicago
that the people had voted by 10000 majority
in favor of municipal ownership of the
street railways. many of those who vot-

ship would take place and that reduced
fares and improved service would soon fol-

voted, including many thousands of per-
sons who have never paid cent of taxes.

meant, while another large class did not
care much what it involved. if it only
brought about a change Closer inspection
of the situation may convince them that it
is one thing to vote for municipal owner
ship of a public utility and quite another to
bring it about.
Shortly after the election the mayor of
Chicago said: Municipal ownership in our
present condition is an impossibility. We

people who have been so insistent for mu-
nicipal ownership to come in and tell me
how we are to bring it about This view
seems to be sustained by facts. To begin

does not own any gold mines. The street
railways of the city, elevated and surface,
are estimated to be worth S100 100000 at
present, and may be worth much more be-

the extreme limit of its bonded indebted
ness and has difficulty in borrowing money
even for running expenses. 1t could not
issue bonds without special act of the
Legislature, and even then it would be diff

The financial difficulty appears to be in

ton merely decided in favor of the adop-
ton of the Mueller law. Before the law
can become operative there will have to
be another popular vote on an ordinance
providing for municipal operation of the
| roads, and the law requires that such ar
ordinance must be approved by three

as if several hot summers and cold winters
might pass before the street-railway en-
ployes in Chicago will wear city uniforms
