Goop PoLICE WoRK.

Awhile ago some of the high-minded and high-placed men of Yale were dis posed to eriticise the police for what they called inefhciency Lately two of the highest-minded and highest-placed men of Yale have incidentally shown the police how to catch crooks by catch ing them themselves. President Had ley's capture of Charles B. Porter was an efficient performance, and 1t has turned out to be important. Yesterday enough evidence was given against Porter to get him sent to jail for 1SO days, and to show that he was man of experience and achievement in dark ways. He has learned something at Yale, as everybody who goes there ought to, and it will probably be a long day before he tackles a college presi- dent anywhere again.
 or course there is no jealousy of Pres ident Hadley among the police. He was not unpleasant to them in the late un- pleasantness, and they do not deny that he did well in the Porter case, nor do they feel that they could have done any better than he did. They will be ready to heartily cooperate with him ir any other police work that he may un- dertake, and none of them will try tc get 'mentioned' when the mention be- longs to him. They recognize that he i, a good man in such an emergency as they are sometimes called on to par. ticipate in.

CANADA GUMfNG.

The United States does something in iron and steel, and takes little modest pride in the size ana value oi that something. And now it appears that Canada isn't feeling small over what she is going to do in that line. For instance, the application of electricity to the smelling of ores prom ises important results for Canada. So far as magnetic iron ores is concerned, there is little doubt of the superiority of the electric over the blast furnace. The blast furnace does not yield sufi- eient heat-pr probably not more than 2,O0O degrees for the treatment of refrac- tory ores. By means of electricity 5000 and more degrees of heat are develop ed. By means of electricity, also. titan. iums phosphorus and sulphur are ex- tracted from the ores. Furthermore, the electric current can be easily regu- lated and kept under control, and can be economically generated wherever water power exists. By the electric process steel can De produced for SIP a. ton and perhaps less, and at this rate 1t can undersell steel from the blast furnace. It has been estimated that the cost of electricity from tha Chats rapids on the Ottawa river would be only s4.5O per horse power per an. mum. Near by are the Bristol iron mines. and there are many other situ- ations equally favorable for the cleo tric reduction of ores in different pro, vinces in Canada.
 Congratulations to Canada. She will help, us feed the world, and also help us supply it with other things it needs.

ArornEn RussIaN TRaUnEr.

Russia is having all kinds of trouble. A letter from seyastopol to a London newspaper says that the recent dis turbance at that Russian stronghold was nothing less than open mutiny on the part of practically the whole of the sailors, marines, and fremen on the vessels of the Black Sea fleet, from bat tleship to torpedo boat. Nearly s,OOo men participated in the demonstrations. The immediate cause of the disturbance was the refusal Of lieutenant and subsequently of the commander of the battleship Georgi Pobiedonostzeff to all low batch of the men in that vessel to go ashore. The men, in spite of a final signalled order from Admiral Chukhnin, the commander-in-ehi to put down the attempted insnbordina- tion with heavy hand, took to the ves- sells boats and put off for the shore, calling upon their comrades on the [ Georgi Pobiedonostzeff and the rest of the vessels of the fleet to follow their example. which they did with alacrity, In order to check the march of the mu- tineers, the assistance of the garrison troops of sevastopol was invoked by the naval authorities. The garrison troops at first openly refused to turn out into the streets to shoot down their com rades and continued to manifest their 1 sympathy, in spite of the threats oi their officers that their disobedienes would certainly be severely punished Firearms were eventually used by som, of the mutineers.

 A NEW aSsOCIAT5ON.

Massachusetts is going after the de- structive moths again. There is now a Massachusetts Association for the Sup pression of the Gypsy and Brown-Tail Moth. Itis an outcome of the recent conferences of municipal and other public authorities with various people interested in the subject. The new as- sociation is largely official in character. Its president Is the Hon. George R. Jones, of Melrose, late president of the Massachusetts senate; the vice-presi- dents are Mayor Collins. of Boston; pr. H. P. Walcott, of the State board of health and the metropolitan water and sewerage board; Mayor Peterson, of Salem; General s. c. Lawrence, of Medford, who in the past few years, in his endeavor to exterminate the moths on certain tract of land near the Mid- dlesex Fells, has expended three times it's value; Mayor Chandler, of Somer- vile, and Mayor Weed, of Newton. The State forester, Alfred Alderman, of Cambridge, is the secretary treasurer. On the executive committee are Mayor Buttrick, of Melrose; Cyrus E. Dallin, of Arlington, the president of the Ar lington Heights Tree Protective Asso- citation; James H. Bowditch, the tree warden of Brookline; General Francis H. Appleton, of Worcester, both mem- bers of the State board of agriculture; Allen Chamberlain, the tree warden of Winchester. and Mayor Newton, of Ev- erett. "@
 The failure to secure any legislative action at the last session of the Gen. eral Court was chiefly due to the fact that those interested did not agree up- on what was wanted. Some wanted one bill, some another, Practically all the interests are now, however, repre- sened by the new association, and it is believed something will be done. Per haps if the news of the powerful asso- citation gets around among the moths they will discreetly retire from Massa- chusetts, but we hope they will not come into Connecticut.

Charles M. Swift, of Detroit, who re- turned recently from the Philippines, is in New York. MT, Swift is president of the Manila Electric Railroad and Light company, composed chiefly of American capitalists. "Our line, representing for ty miles of single track, said MT. Swift, twill be completed by March 1, which will be two years from the time the franchise was granted. The enterprise represents an outlay for construction and equipment of $4000,O0O. The sys- tenn lies within the city of Manila, ex- cepting about four miles, which spans the distance to Malabon, a convenient suburb. It is the universal custom to ride--feW people walk, and. the charges of the caramata drivers are exorbitant. Though I was accompanied by my wife, my caramata bill during six weeks in Manila was 50 per cent. more than my hotel bill. The great need of the Philip pines IS better transportation facilities. The country is rich in natural resources, and only the surface of its possibilities has been scratched, but the people in the various towns are isolated through lack of modern means of travel and business intercourse.

A French scientist has made many in teresting observations of the behavior of wild animals aboard ship. Those that one might naturally think would not object to a sea voyage are the most restless. The polar bear, he says, is the only one that takes to the sea, and is quite jolly when aboard ship. All others violently resent a trip on water, and vociferously give vent to their feeling until seasickness brings silence. The tiger suffers most of all. He whines pitifully, his eyes water con- tinually, and he rubs his stomach with his terrible paws. Horses are very bad sailors and often perish on a sea voy- age. Oxen are heroic in their attempts not to give away to seasickness. Ele- plants do not like the sea, but they are amenable to medical treatment. A good remedy is a bucketful of hot wa ter containing three and a half pints of whiskey and seven ounces of qui- nine.

the process is still in the experiment..
al stage, the results are distinctly
promising. Roads subjected to much

water for the course of eighty-eight
kilometers. If further experiments
should be made and be attended with

Wood Artificiallv Hardened.

After a prolonged series of expert.
ments method of treating timber so
as to secure even from soft wood q
largely increased toughness and hard
ness has been found. The process
has been described as vulcanizing,
comparable in some respects to that
of the Bessemer process for convert.
Ing iron into steel, and is the inven.
ton of Mr.. Powell, q Liverpool mer
chant.
Roughly speaking, the treatment to
which the timber is subjected is that
of saturation at boiling point with a
solution of sugar, the water afterward
being evaporated at high temperature.
The result is to leave the pores and
fnterstices of the wood filed in with
solid matter, and the timber vulcan.
'zed. preserved and seasoned.
The nature of moderately soft wood.
It is claimed, is in this way changed
to a tough and hard substance, with
out brittleness, and also without q
tendency to split or crack. It is also
rendered remarkably impervious to
water. Hard wood similarly treated
derives similar benefit. 1t is claimed
that the process may be completed and
the timber turned out ready for use
In q few days. .
