There appears 20 have been some misappre-
hensiOn of the exact nature OF the proposals for
the religious instruction of school children
which were made recently by gathering or
representative clergymen in this city. 1t is now
explained that the proposal was not that such
instruction be given by clergymen in the schools.
but that the children be excused from school
attendance for one afternoon week in order
to go to their respective churches and receive
the instruction there. That is a quite different
plan from that which we were led TO suppose
had been put forward. and is free from some OF
the objections to the latter. though it obviously
has some Of IT'S own.
The ashcan in Brooklyn seems to have also
had its uses as a contribution box.

SUBWAY FENTILATION.

Mr. Rice Is credited with having hit on
scheme for Yentilating the subway. we nope
that if it is good for anything steps Will De
quickly taken TO put it into execution warm
weather will overtake us within two or three
months and unless preparations for q whole
sale publication Of the air Of the subway are
promptly begun the public will suspect that the
Interborough company is deliberately planning
to shirk its duty once more. For the evasive
and temporizing policy pursued last year there
was some show of rational excuse. For con-
tinuance of it another season 1t will be hard
to find even a preteXt.
Mr. Rice must be acquainted with the ven
tilating system adopted in Boston. In that city
rotary fans are so placed as to create suction
at points about midway between stations.
natural inflow at the station entrances is thus
induced, and the foul air is forced out At first
it was discharged through gratings in the side
walks. but that practice was deemed objection
able. The plan now is 10 lead it, in horizontal
ducts running either above or below the level
of the cars, to the vicinity Of stations and eject
ii from pipes extending several feet above the
pavement With the three fans in operation
when the eleventh annual report of the Boston
Rapid Transit Commission was prepared (about
nine months ago. q complete change OF air was
being effected in from thirteen to fifteen minutes.
A trial Of this plan was made at City Hall Park
we do not know whether or not the engineer of
the subway here was satisfied with the results
which he obtained If he was not, he should
compare in detail the method then tried with
that used in Boston. The authorities there are
so we'll pleased with the working of the system
that they have decided 10 extend it to the Wash
ington-st. subway, which has been under con-
structiOn for more than a year.
OF course, if Mr.. Rice has anything better to
suggest there is nothing in the Constitution Of
the United States to forbid his doing So The
people Of New-York City care little about the
means employed, but they are convinced that
substantial Improvement in the purity Of the at
mosphere in the subway can be secured at a
cost There is likely to be an emphatic
of public sentiment on the sub
ject if the Interborough company does not IN
dertake 10 rectify present conditions before sum-
mer comes.

yer. appeared before Judge Ditto. president OF
the Civil Tribunal Of the Seine. to-day and asked
permission to amend the proceedings in her ap-
plication for a separation from the count her
husband, so that decree would give her an
absolute divorce. The application asked for
separate domicile and custody Of the children
pending the legal procedure.
Judge Ditto ordered the husband and wife TO
appear before him for the purpose OF asking
them regarding the possibility OF a reconcilia-
ton. The count and countess Will fulfil the
legal requirement, but IL IS not expected to
yield favorable results. as both are said to be
determined to terminate their union. They Will
appear before the court in four or five days, and
Immediately thereafter amended bill will be
filed, and a writ similar to the previous one will
be served. the only change being petition that

fact that automobiles are not suited for use
at their highest efficiency on common roads,
but need special roads of their own. as do
locomotives and trains of cars. Indeed Mr.
Walker goes so far to subdivide these spe-
cial roads into separate parts for low speed
medium speed and high speed automobiles
The automobile is an exceedingly userul IN
vention, but, like most important inventions, It
requires the formulation of new rules and the
creation of new circumstances Steam railroads
were originally built along the common nigh
ways But 1t was found necessary for their full
development to put them on routes for their own
exclusive use and even to abolish so far as
possible grade crossings of other roads. Steam
ships were q vast improvement over sailing
craft, but it was necessary to require their en-
gineers to be examined and licensed on very
different basis from the masters of sailing
ships 1t may become desirable to create some
special highways for swift automobiles. not Only
for the safety and welfare of the general pub
lie, but equally for the development of those
machines to their highest efficiency
and for the most profitable use of their extraor-
binary and valuable powers.
