Our Standing in Science


The comparison of American and
European scientists has been made
by Prof. Waldeyer, professor of anat-
omy in the University of Berlin, in an
address before the Royal Prussian
Academy of Sciences, a few months
ago, suggested, no doubt, by his visit
TO the st. Louis congress, in 1904.
The United States has easily led
the world in all mechanical matters
tending to increase material wealth,
and the impression has been very
widespread that we are so occupied in
the struggle for the almighty dollar
as to have no time for the arts and
sciences. In spite of the fact that
the people of a new country are occu-
pied in opening up and developing their
resources and in laying foundations,
it is not at all unlikely, observes
American Medicine, that in proper
tion to our numbers we have always
accomplished a fair share of the
worlds scientific discoveries, and
have done a goodly work in other di-
rections. Waldeyer points to a long
list of eminent American naturalists,
economists, jurists, philologists,
philosophers and historians, and he
might have added physicians and sur
geons. He has apparently been
amazed at the rapid strides of the
last decade, as though we had just
started on the superstructure of our
national work. His intimate knowl-
edge of Americans and their work
gives great value to his statement
that it is now time for European stu
dents and teachers to come to Amer
lea to learn, in the same way that
Americans formerly went abroad. We
have worked out our own salvation,
and have therefore cut new trails, SO
that it is now necessary for foreign
workers to know what we are doing
and how we are doing It, if they are
to avoid narrowness.

WILL STAMP OUT HAZlNG.
Two Midshipmen, One for Hazine, and
Another for Failing to Report
It, Are Suspended.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Hazing of
every kind, it was announced yester-
day will be stamped out of the naval
academy, regardless of the number of
dismissals from the brigade of mid
shipmen necessary to bring about this
result. Two midshipmen will be dis
missed from the academy within few
days by the secretary of the navy
Briefly these are yesterdays devel-
opments in the movement against haz-
ing at the naval academy. When Sec
retary BOnaparte reached the navy
department yesterday he received an
official report from Admiral Sands, an
uouncing the suspension of Midship-
man Trenmor Coffin, jr., third class
man, for haZing Midshipman Berdone
Pettus Kimbrough, fourth class man,
by forcing him to stand on his head
until he became unconscious, and of
Midshipman Warren Able Van Der
veer, second Classman, because while
on duty he observed the occurrence
and failed to report it. The superin-
tendent called attention to the fact
that Midshipmen Coffin and Van Der
veer were guilty of violating a well
known regulation for the government
of the naval academy and recommend
ea their summary dismissal in accord
ance with an act of congress approved
March 8. 1903.

PROSPERITY OF UNCLE SAM
Never So Rich and Finances Never
Before i'll Such Excellent
Shape.

Last year the deficit in the first five
months of the fiscal year was about
$250OO,O 1t is less than $4,000 600
so far for the fiscal year beginning last
July. The national expenditures arc
being kept down to about the level
reached last year. There is a constant
gain in government revenues, says the
Cleveland Leader.
The increase is chiefly in the customs.
The unprecedented prosperity of the
country is shown in heavy purchases Of
foreign products, both for immediate
consumption and for use in manufac-
lures. In November the net gain in rev.
enue was over 81 000000 compared with
the corresponding part of 1904.
Such expansion of the nations in
come leads some high authorities to be-
lieye that by the end of the fiscal year
the United States treasury will reach
the fortunate state of an even balance
between well-guarded expenditures and
growing receipts. Panama canal f.
nances, of course, do not come under

Uncle Sam was never so rich and his
finances can be adjusted readily 10
whatever needs he may feel like recog-

net the purchaser less than siX-tenths
of one per cent. year-to be exact. Sc

bonds until they can be retired at the

No wonder that Christmas trade is
booming. No wonder immigration is
heavy, for the time of year. No wonder
business statistics exceed all former

Viewed from all sides, farming is a
great business. And it is as a real,
live, substantial and serious business
that the farmers should regard and
conduct their affairs. Fortunately,
system is rapidly revolutionizing the
business. In the golden northwest the
successful farmers are managing their
estates like great manufacturing
plants. There are no leaks. no slip
shod methods. They are piling up
magnificent crops and are making for
tunes Through Kentucky and the
south, too, the farmers are beginning
to look upon their occupations as a
sure-enough business and not as a
speculative pastime.

FREIGHT BROKERAGE A NEW IN

Freight brokerage Is a new industry

said to threaten the ratio situation
over the entire country. After the
passage of the Elkins law prohibiting
rebates some genius conveived the
Idea OF establishing an office for the
solicitation Of freight traffic. lie was
enabled to induce some of the eastern
roads to pay him a liberal commission
on the traffic secured and routed over
their lines,
The next move In the game was to
get a division OF the commission with
the shippers who were clients of the
broker, In this way tho shipper SO.
cured what amounted In effect to a
rebate from the tariif rates. the brok.

the railroad secured traffic which 1t
might not otherwise have secured.
The possibilities In the freight
brokerage business developed 80 rap
Idly that brokers began to spring up
on every hand. The shippers soon
realized they could do better with the
brokers than with the railroad Off.
Gals, and the result vas that the
brokerage business fourished amaz.
ingly. 1t is said the conditions now
are such that there Is no longer sta

shippers in the east ire routing all
Of their shipments through the agen'
