AN INTERESTING SITUATION


 There is an interesting situation in some of the big schools of this cnun- try. For instance, Columbia. The stu- dents of that school are on their ears, so to speak, because the faculty has refused to extend the life of the Foot ball Association from December S1 to April 15. One of the young gentlemen concerned thus voices the feeling of himself and the other young gentle- men: "Our previous petition was couched in perhaps mild-mannered way, but we were nevertheless just as determined as if we had been more demonstrative. This the faculty seems to have overlooked, taking our appar- ently meek attitude as one of weak ness."
 It is to be hoped that the faculty of Columbia will be able to perceive be- fore it is too late the quiet but strong strength there is behind the felling thus voiced. Weakness isn't always weak ness, and something will happen if there is any lack of perception of this plain truth. The New York Post al- ready sees what is likely to happen. It says: Now we shall see an exhibi- tion of the resources of courageous and enterprising youth. Two courses are open to the students: they can abolish the university, or only the faculty. Each plan has it's advantages, but our vote is for conservative action. Throw the faculty over the cliff, but let the university stay. The buildings are worth preserving, if only for the edi- fication of casual tourists they give strangers the impression that New, York cares for mind as we'll as money. Besides, the destruction of the univer- sity would involve the disbanding of the football team. The faculty, how ever, is nothing but a nuisance, and the sooner 1t goes the better. But for it's fussiness about discipline, recita- tions, lectures, and examinations, there would be nothing to interfere with the legitimate occupations of the under- misunderstanding football and anna teur dramatics. We trust that no mis- guided sympathy for age and puttering suitability will intervene to save the professors from a richly deserved fate.
 Faculties elsewhere will be interested in the fate of Columbia's faculty.

ONLY FOURTEEN so FAB.

Up to date only fourteen C0nstitu- tional amendments have been proposed in congress. Four of them propose the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, one extends the term of the congressional represen- tative to four years. one the presiden- tial term to six years. one changes the time of holding national elections and changes the date for the assembling of congress, one gives congress the power to establish uniform hours of labor in manufactories, one repeals the Eff teenth amendment, two give congress the power 10 enact a tax on incomes and successions, and one empowers congress to levy a direct tax on the States according to the assessed value of real and personal property.
 Some of these proposed amendments may in time get through. Perhaps the people are in favor of extending the presidential term and electing senators by a direct vote. Perhaps they would favor, after thorough discussion, the proposition to increase the term of rep resentatives. But amending the Con- stitution of the United States is slow work, as it ought to be.

1 GOOD THING roR JAPAN.

The smart Japanese have a good thing in their camphor monopoly. The cost of camphor in the United States. which has jumped some five hundred per cent. during the last few years, will continue to climb until this government encourages the production of the drug in some of it's insular possessions. This, at least, is the opinion of Consul Fisher lat Tamsui, Formosa, which is the cen- ter of the great camphor industry of the world. He says that the Japanese government has a hard and fast mo- .nopoly of the output of great part of the worlds supply of camphor, and that lit is the intention of that government Steadily to boost the price. This will be bad news to manufacturers in this country who make use of camphor, and also to housewives who depend on it in their combats with moths. It was about six years ago that Japan decided to take charge of the production and sale of camphor in Formosa. Immedi- ately the price began to go up and the supply to decrease. The government sold the privilege of working the cam phor trees, stipulated just what quan- tity should be produced, fixed the price, and even furnished the bags in which the gum was to be shipped. A system of afforestation was established by which the supply of raw material will never be exhausted, even though the demand for camphor should continue. to increase. Vast forests in the southern part of Formosa still remain untouch- ed. The only drawbacks on production are the bands of savage tribes which wage constant war on the camphor workers.
 Consul Fisher says that the question of manufacturing celluloid in Japan will probably be taken up before many years. He therefore advises that users of camphor in the United States pay attention to the question of the sys- tematic production of this drug by af- forestation in some of our island pos sessions. It is the plain intention of the Formosan government to increase the price as rapidly as possible, but not so fast as to encourage too deep a re- search into chemistry for an artificial substitute. The Japanese have recently conducted experiments in extracting camphor from leaves and twigs from the camphor tree. The tests were req sonably successful.

4 DOUBTER.

Lo the poor Indian again. Frederic Monsen, the explorer and ethnologist, who has spent many years studying the Indians of the Southwest, has his doubt as to the service which this gov- ernment is doing in educating red peo. pie, to look with scorn on their par- ents after they have graduated from the comfortable boarding schools and returned to the tepees and the mud houses of the pueblos. He also doubts the industrial future of the Indians who learn trades, under government instruction, and try to practice them. He interested himself in couple of Hopis, one of whom had learned to be a mason, and the other a carpenter. They obtained work in a town in New Mexico, but almost immediately the other house builders threatened to strike unless the Indians were dis charged. Thinking that he could ar- range the matter amicably, MT. Mon- sen, in company with the Indians, wis., ited the labor union headquarters that night. He found it in session, and the president, burly Irishman, smoking cigar and sitting with. his feet on the table. To him he offered to pay the customary dues and initiation ex- penses for admitting the young Hopis to the society, but was taken aback when the president told him, "We don't want no dam furriners in this union." MT. Monsen's wrath was aroused. He found that the president had been but eight years in this country. He told the union that his young friends were the only real Americans but argument was closed by throwing him and the Indians down stairs.
 This incident teaches, but there is no reason to suppose that it's teaching will soon get into practice.

Near the small town of Liegnitz, in silesia, lies the village Knitz, which is the possessor of 8 small lake having a rush and reed covered island nesting in its centre. This island has been select ed by native dealer as a breeding ground for sea gulls and thousands may now be seen there. The. eggs of these birds are held in much esteem as dainties. The demand is so large and the quantity of eggs secured is so con- siderable that the owner is making money quickly. The birds do not seem to object to the removal of their eggs, but lay all the faster to make up for the loss.

The late Baron Raimondo Franchetti was regarded as the wealthiest man in Italy after Prince Torlonia. He reach ed the age of seventy-six. Some of his riches came to him through his wife, who was a Rothschild; but the foun- dation of his family's wealth was laid through a postal monopoly long held by it. The late baron was also the chief provider of supplies for the Italian army. His hobby was the theater, in- cluding the opera. He squandered large sums as a manager; whenever he was "angel" for company all the Italians expected to be deadheads. His son Alberto has become well known as an opera composer, largely with the aid of his fathers wealth.

A British company is looking for capital to develop electric power from Victoria Falls on the Zambesi river, in South Africa. The plan is said to be one of doubtful utility, for while prac- tically unlimited power can be had from this source, it would have to be trans- mitted seven hundred miles to the Rand mines, and this distance is believed by many electrical engineers to be so great as to preclude any possibility of profit The advocates of the plan find some en- couragement in the results of a new system of transmission devised by M Thury, Swiss engineer, which SUD- plies Geneva with electricity generated by Alpine streams.

OF the cargo, sold 10 hogsheads to the
Pembroke Packing Co. and canned 80
hogsheads in their own factory. TIL.
sardines thus packed from this cargo
by the Pembroke Company and by the
plaintiffs. were duly sold in regular
course of business and paid for by the
purchasers and no complaint was ever
heard in relation to them.
1t was difficult to reconcile the an
parently conclusive testimony in re-
gard to the unsound condition of the
herring received by the plaintiffs with
the established facts in regard to the
successful packing Of the Remainder
of the cargo; and II is not clear that
the verdict rendered upon the testi-
mony introduced at the trial could be
deemed so manifcstly wrong as to jus-
tify the court i'm disturbing it, but il
now appears from the newly discoy.
cred evidence that three of the dory
loads that went into the cargo on the
schooner were taken from the weirs at
Mussel Ridges, Friday afternoon about
3 or o'clock, and left in leaky dories
without salt, two of them for eighteer,
hours, and one of them for twenty
hours, before they were taken on board
the schooner.
Olsen, the pilot and salter on the
trip, testifies that these sardines were
soft and yellow and that he informed
one of the plaintiffs that they tainted
the rest OF the cargo.
1t seems probable that with this
new evidence a different result might
have been reached by the jury and
that injustice would be done, if new
trial is not granted.
Motion sustained.
New trial granted.
