The Laws Delay.

kansas City Times: The need Of
a Q expeditions process in the
enforcement Of law is particularly
shown in the suit against the beef
trust. This suit may be said to
have grown mature in it's infancy.
1t is still new, but it has already
dragged along until it seems like an
old subject. First, there was the
grand jury Investigation, which was
long drawn. Then there was the
charge that the indictments were
based on information secured by a
promise of Immunity. This point,
having been investigated, was de-
MED by the attorney general. A
is now called upon to determine
the merits of ten special pleas enter.

the trial proper. When these pleas

case may come to trial on It's merits.

there Will be a motion for a new
trial, which nay or may not be
granted. In any event, there proba-
bly, will be successive appeals on up to
the supreme court of the United
states. 1t would be a surprise il
This case reached a conclusion in less
than two and one-half years. The
machinery of the law ought TO be
that trials Of this character
could pass through every possible pro-
cess OF pleading and appeal within a
reasonable period.

Comfort for Baldheadrs.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Everything in this world has its compen-
sations and a writer in late medical jour
nal conveys the comforting Information that
badheaded people are immune from pulmo-
nary tuberculosis. With another cerebral
stimulant the case is slightly different.
Badness is certainly promoted by mental
application. AS "a general thing, bald peo-
pie are intellectual people, or, at least, peo-
pie whose minds oyertaxed either by
study or by worry. and 1t is a well-known
fact that intellectual activity is promotive
of health in general. 1t often happens that
a patient who had been bedridden or an In
valid for years is cured by becoming men
tally excited over something, sometimes in
a moment of time. AS the brain and the
lungs have large arterial and nervous con-
nections. 1t may be true that mental ac-
tivity such as produces badness might also
vitalze and energiZe the lungs and heart.
We do not pretend that this is wholly sat
isfactory explanation, and we respectfully
suggest the propriety of convention of
baldheads to find out whether bald people
are ever consumptive. and. If they are not.
what is the explanation of such singular
phenomenon.

Most geographers believe that the Arctic
ocean extends without break in all direc-
tons from 400 to 500 miles. Until there Is
positive evidence to the contrary this doc
trine must be accepted; yet there are al
ready a few who are inclined to dissent
from il. More than year ago Mr.. r. A.
Harris, attached to the United States geo.
logical survey, gave some reasons for doing
so in The National Geographic Magazine"
These are afforded by peculiarities of the
tides and currents at various points along
the northern coast of the American con-
tinent. Such phenomena are susceptible of
more than one explanation, and it is not
unlikely that Mr.. Harris interprets the facts
wrongly. On the other hand. 1t may turn
out some day that he is right Now, If
there should be one large island reaching
from the vicinity of the pole toward Grant
Land, or even an archipelago like Franz
Josef Land-which is really a compare
lively recent discovery-a much better
highway for Pearys sledges than the ice
pack furnishes would be afforded for a
part of his journey. There is only micro
SCOPE possibility that he will be helped in
that fashion but it deserves recognition.

Ink of the Romans.

The Romans also used ink (atramentum)
of a lasting black, which was commonly
made from mixture Of SCOT or lampb.ack
with gum and water. The writing fluid so
made was of a deep. lustrous. permanent
black, but 1t had the drawback of being
easily removable with sponge. The mod
ern method of making ink by mixing gals
with sulphate Of iron and gum is ancient
also. Falconer MADAM. In his Books In
Manuscript remarks that ink OF this kind
has been found at Pompei stll iquid after
seventeen centuries OF quiescence. In our
own country our Ang1o-Saxon forefathers
possessed the secret of making ink of a
lasting black many beautifully legible
MSS. still testify. The same may be said OF
their medlaeVal successors until the four
teenfh century or so. But antiquaries tell
US that the quality of the ink deteriorates
with the latter part OF the fifteenth century
ana the succeeding years to such an extent
that many records of these later dates are
hardly legible. while earlier rolls and docu-
ments are still brilliantly readable. Why
TINS is so is little hard to understand for
the earlier inks seem to have been made In
much the same way as their later success
sors. Among the papers OF New College
oxford, for instance. is an account for the
year 1852, there is statement of the
ingredients used for making the ink with
winch the college records We're kept: and
the condition OF those records a the pres
ent time is the best possible testimony to
the excellence of the ink. The ingredients
used are three pounds of gals the same
weight of copperas and one and n half
pounds OF gum. There Is nothing startling
or strange in these Items: so that one Is
driven to the conclusion that there was
either some secret in the mixing or some
special quality at that time in. one or other
OF the Ingredients
