RISE AND FALL OF INDIGO.
Plant for Time supplanted by Pro-
duct Of Petroleum.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Modern science has so utilized one OF the
products of the coal fields as almost COM
pletely to put an end to the trading in two
articles that once formed very important
part Of the commerce Of the United States
The best dye for blue was. Of course. fur
nfshed by the indigo plant, and 1t Is even
now used for the very finest OF fabrics, but
the chemists and scientists were able to
procure from the byproducts Of petroleum
an aniline dye which-fer almost all ordinary
purposes has supplanted indigo. The nat
ural indigo dye being pushed aside by the
commercial dye. which Is capable of being
chemically prepared. has practically killed
the growing Of the indigo plant. Science
however. Is bound to protect those who are
dependent upon 1t for a livelihood. so that

ton OF one industry through scientific dis

that are of commercial advantage
For instance. the native dyers in the east
have discovered that when natural indigo

mixed in equal proportions the result of
the mixture gives a more valuable and a
brighter dye than that which is afforded
by the dye of the plant. so that by reason
or this discovery. what seemed to have
been the inevitable ruin tof the indigo Gull

greatly encouraged the growth of the in

In noticing this recent discovery a writer
upon scientific subjects has said that the
advance of science has never been shown
IN more typical fashion that when, diving
into the history of modern chemistry we
discover that many products formerly re-
sarded as being capable Of formation by

THE WORLDS TONGUE.
English is Becoming the Universal
Language.

From the San Francisco Bulletin
English Is today what French was in
the eighteenth century and Latin In the
middle ages the language chosen by COM
mon consent for intercommunication be-
tween statesmen, savants and fashionable
and literary persons Of different nations
With English one can make his way con-
yeniently along any Of the beaten track
In Europe. More people now speak Eng
lish as their vernacular than speak any
other European tongue.
sign of the growth In Importance OF
the English tongue is the recent action Of
the school authorities Of the German gov
eminent in making English an optional
study in the public schools Of Saxony.
This action was Induced by a petition ad-
dressed to the government by the Dresden
SchOolmasters' Association. The petition
was an excellent syllabus Of the arguments
in favor of English as a subject for study
in the German public schools. A portion
of 1t follows:
I. English Is the most widely used civil
lized language in the world.
2. II is the most important language for
Germ any's international trade relations In
Dresden especially the knowledge Of Eng
lish Is of great advantage to shopkeepers
and commercial men, owing to the import
ant Anglo American colony there.
g. English deserves preference over

artistic and moral point of view: CD APP
pealS more nearly to our sentiment and
understanding as that of a Germanic peo-
pie; (c) has played prominent part in the
development of our own literature.
4. English is not inferior to French in
educative value.
5. In the teaching Of English the read
lily learned grammatical forms of the Ian
guage enable the time allotted to its study
to be spent in attaining the most important
object in teaching a foreign language-the
power of its free use In speech and writ
ing. This is not possible in the case of
French. owing to the difficulty Of its gram
mar.
1t Is only within recent times that Eng
lish has been taught carefully even in Eng
lish and American schools. The old theory
was that a student learned English best by
reading the Latin and Greek authors While
the benefits of a knowledge of Latin and
Greek are very great and certainly assist In
acquiring the accomplishment of using
English correctly and elegantly. the close
attention now given to English in our own

Chickamauga Campaign Recalled.


Nothing has occurred to substantiate the
statement of several days ago that the
Japanese had debouched from three passes
into the Lao valley. The situation has not
changed for some weeks and the theory is
confirmed that decisive results will await
the end of the rainy season. The Japanese
army In the mountains is very much like
the federal army just before Chickamauga,
moving by roads far as forty miles
apart. The confederate commander in that
battle has always been criticised for his
failure to destroy the corps so separated
in detail The Japanese comma nder Is
probably well up in that bit of history.
and at any rate he must be aware of the
danger of showing himself with a force too
small to withstand a concentrated attack
from the Russians. If any chance is offered
to kuropatkin 1t will be in this way but
kuroki knows that, too.
Official Reports of Sickness.
THE official reports of sickness in the
Russian army would be satisfactory If they
did not show a greater percentage of sick
ness among officers than among the men,
1t Is contrary to all experience. The officer,
on account of his intelligence. attention to
hygienic rules. better quarters and better
food. and for other reasons. should be less
liable to sickness than the soldier in the
ranks The report says that per cent of
officers and per cent of the men were nom
effective on account of sickness, during the
months preceding the rainy season. Since
the beginning of the rainy season the rate
Is 81 per cent for officers and 46 DER cent
