THE DOGGER BANK AFFAIR
emf official Report That the Find
ing of the Commission Will
Favor Russia.

Paris, Feb. pa semi-official state
ment has appeared in regard to the
finding of the international commits
sion on the Dogger bank affair.
The commission, it is said. gives 10
opinion on the question of presence or
absence of japanese topedo boats in
the North sea, declaring merely that
the Russian admiral quite legitimately
believed that his squadron was en-
dangered, and hat he had the right,
under the circumstances, to act as he
did. The commissioners refer to the
Russian governments engagements to
indemnify the victims of the deplora-
BILE incident.

Mechanical Logic.

A logic machine warranted to elm

counting machines which now do the
figuring of bank clerks for them. The
syllogism, which has proved so useIul
in Strengthening out the kinks in mems
argument, is only a diagram, a mechan-

more stupid than it was in antiquity,
and that civilization has advance on

claim: and even suggests that the cave

following the example of the human
brain, which has a way of hardening a
vwolition into a habit, and then turning
it over to the spinal cord and forgetting
all about it. That is the way, indeed, the
great business man accomplishes his
large and multifarious tasks; he re-
duces them to a routine, and ~surrenders
them to the routine subordinate. But
he goes on to something else. If u de-
