RUSSIAN VIEWS OF PRIZE SINKING.
We had not heard that Alice's Wonderland
was in Russia, but current news indicates that
It may have been so. At any rate something
much like the spirit of the Wonderland Court
appears to prevail in the land of the car IL
will be recalled that in the Trial Scene in Won
derland there was strenuous demand Tor SEN
tence first, verdict afterward." That is pre-
Cisey the attitude of some of the supposedly
inspired" organs of Russia toward neutral
ships which are overhauled at SIS by Russian
cruisers. Sink them first, and after~ard deter
mine whether they should have been moleSted
ar all or not.
Thus the Russ of st. Petersburg, argues
deliberately that it was quite right for the Nlad-
vostok squadron to sink the Knight Command
err and then, with monumental ingenuousnesS
adds: The question of the validity of the capt
lure of the vessel is quite apart and Will be set
tiled by a prize court. Any discussion OF the
merits of the case before its decision is out OF
place
That is to say, II was quite right to sink the
shin. but ii is still to be determined whether 1t
was right to capture her, The right to capture
her has nothing to do with the right to destroy
her, They had a right TO sink her anyway,
whether she was a lawful prize or not. 1t was
all right TO sink her offhand. without waiting
TO see what a prize court would say about her,
but to discuss the question whether she was
lawful prize or not in advance of adjudication
would be contempt of court. Really, we must
apologize to Alice's Wonderland. This Russian
logic is madden than anything the Halter and
the March Hare could ever have devised.

THE PUSHCART NUISANCE.

The present controversy over pushcarts, in
which Commissioner Woodbury. has engaged
with his customary vigor and cheerfulness may
possibly have larger consequences than were
expected when it began. That certainly ought
TO be the result. 1t is DR.. Woodbury's business
TO clean the streets, and bis effort to restrain
the operations of itnerant pedlers within mar
rover limits is induced by the fact that they
greatly embarrass the task of street cleaning

increase the litter which it Is his province to re-
move, while their carts obstruct the work
THUS ii happens that they constitute double

But the question is of larger import. 1t does
not concern the city merely because of the diff

ECONOMY IN MANUFACTURING.

The rapidity of recent progress in certain
lines of industry and the requirements Of
man who wishes to compete with others IN
any Of these kinds of business are wildly illus
trated by the makeup of The Engineering
Magazine" for July The entire number is
given up TO methods of promoting economy in
a single group of manufactures. The group is
large one. for il includes the production of
machinery of every kind a large scale; but
the range of the discussion itself seems limited
when one recalls the wide variety of topics
usually treated in this admirable monthly. The
wage system. the social status OF the workman,
the general design of large works. proper atflla-
ton between shop and drafting ROOM mechan-
ical aids TO office work. careful inspection be-
fore shipment and the latest Improvements In
processes and tools are all regarded from
single point Of view-their relation 10 the pos
sbe cheapening of the product.
In the editorial preface TO one Of the articles
here referred 10 an experienced shop manager
is quoted as saying: The workman of the
year 1900 if kept out of touch with current
developments. would make a poorer showing
lin the shop of 1915 than the workman of
George Stephenson's time would in the aver
age shop today" The statement is not eX-
travagant 1t is astonishing 10 see how
old machinery Is consigned 10 the scrap heap
by wide awake and prosperous manufacturers
the instant they discover anything distinctly
superior. Two of the latest advances may be
mentioned 10 indicate how rapid and radical are
the changes which are being made. In conse-
quence OF an investigation set afoot by Mr. F.
w Taylor, Of the Bethlehem Iron Works only
a few years ago, IT is now possible 20 cut off
two or three times much metal in lathe as
it was before. BY running the lathe al a higher
speed and employing improved steel in the
preparation Of cutting tools. nothing less than
industrial revolution has been effected An
innovation OF the same kind, though OF less i'm
poItance, is the discovery that more material
can be taken off by grinding than by turning
and hence that certain jobs can he finished
more quickly by the one method than by the
other.
The reader Of Charles Days paper on Eco
nomical Metal Cutting" should nor Iail 10 notice
what he says about the virtues or the electric
motor for the application of power in n machine
