Naval experts in America and Europe
and particularly those interested in
submarines. in which the purity and
quantity of the air necessary to sustain
human life IN the submerged fighting
machine is the most important factor
now find their attention drawn to the
discovery OF a German chemist. who has
devised a method OF producing pure
oxygen gas by immersing a compact,
solid compound-the ingredients of
which are secret-in a small volume OF
water.

looks like a block OF compressed

PUBLIC sentiment was disregarded, on
Wednesday, when the question of APP
pointing a successor to Charles H. Deacon
was discussed. If vote of the people
had been taken, the son of the late super
intendent and his wife would have been
chosen by large majority for the balance
of the term to which the husband and
father was elected. As It is the Board
of Freeholders decided to continue them
until the November meeting. This puts
the official management of the Insane
Asylum just where 1t should not be and
where all efforts have been to keep it clear
of-in the list of offices controlled by politics
For the move on Wednesday was po-
litical move, pure and simple. In the
Board are candidates for higher offices and
members who desire reelection. To ig-
more the claims of those who wished to
get the berth in question might mean ac
ton detrimental to these seeking political
favors, so the matter was thrown over un-
til after the fall election. What will be
done then remains to be seen. As stated
at the start, public sentiment demands
that the present management should be
continued as nearly as possible in its
present shape. This is not mere senti-
ment. nor is it sympathy, it is question
of business and good government. The
condition of the asylum is matter of pride
to all the residents of the county. That
condition is due entirely to the watchful-
ness and competency of the deceased su-
perintendent and his widow. They started
official life with the opening of
the institution and the credit for it's
splendid showing is due to them entirely.
One of them has passed from earth, but the
other remains and retains the knowledge
gained in the long association with the af-
fairs of the institution. Her value can be
seen at glance. The son, who has been
practically in charge during his fathers
Illness, also has an insight that makes him
valuable. Without decrying the fact that
others may take hold and do well we do
say without fear of contradiction that it
will not be any better to make a complete
change And we further say that the
minute this institution is made the subject
of political pull and haul that very instant
denotes the receding of its worth and use
fulness along the lines originally laid out
for it.
