Shall We Kill Derelicts?

From the PhliaCeiphfa Inquirer.
Surely no man in any age since that of
Sparta has ever spoken so frankly on the
subject of death as DR.. Charles Eliot Nor
ton a relative of the president of Harvard
University and formerly one of the leading
members of its staff. He talks like a Greek
and not like human being In effect he
says that doctors and friends and children
should combine together and get rid of the
useless, the incurable and the derelict. This
is not a mere theory with him. He would
like to see it put In practice. There are too
many cumberers of the ground, and they
should be laid away in swift fashion.
This sort of philosophy is of the kind that
cannot be in any respect personal. We can
all say that the person dying of cancer
ought to have g, dose of chloroform, but
who is to give the dose? We may think
that there are thousands of persons mum
bling their gums in Indebtedness and dis
ease who ought to be buried. Who is to
give the final dispatch? 1t is all very well
for Dr. Norton to talk in this way SO long
as he deals in distractions, but we fancy
that he would be the last to accept the office
of public eXecutioner. Yet II is certain that
if his philosophy Is to prevail some one must
have the responsibility, and certainly its
highest exponent ought to be the man.
We know so little about life in its origin,
we have such varied views of the actual re-
sponsibilities of the human being. and there
is such wide difference of opinion as to the
exact future status Of the human soul that
it is-impossible to expect sentimental and
loving rae eof men and women to provide
for the removal of those who seem to have
outlived their usefulness. The law makes
suicide a crime, or, at least, The attempt to
commit suicide. Yet, is life is useless, who
is more competent to do away with it than
the individual concerned? If life is a purely
personal possession, why not let any man
dispose of it as he desires? We would not
agree to any such proposition.
Furthermore, although we must admit that
there are many persons who would, accord
ing to our knowledge be better dead than
alive it is probably not within human wis
dom to take such decision. If we should
give even to set of men, such as DR.. Nor
| ton, the power to decide, many mistakes
would be made. AS fact the verdict would
have to rest with those less competent. We
cannot admit of any such theory. Physi-
clans and loved ones must care for the liv-
| ing until the last. and it seems certain that
| even in the prolongation of life seems use
| less or painful to the victims, it does have a
reflex influence upon the living of the first
| Importance. Let US have no ethical or other
assassination except for crime committed.

Fuel Substitutes.
From Mines and Minerals.


We who have our coal brought to our
doors with a consciousness of unlimited
supplies in our mines can hardly conceive
the emergencies that arise in less favored
regions and the ingenuity and adaptation
to circumstances and environment called
out by the search for and need Of some
thing to burn.
Driftwood, peat, brush, cacti, fungi, sea-
weed and even droppings OF animals have
been in different regions utilized for fuel.
Along the seacoast of Alaska, in the tree
less area, driftwood brought down from
the forests of the interior by streams and
borne along the coast by ocean currents
is stranded on the shores and thrown up
on the beach. The water-soaked logs are
gathered in by the people of the coast, dried
and burned, but the supply Is rapidly d.
minishing and wood will have to be drawn
from the forests OF the interior or attention
turned to the development of the large
fields of Ignite coal recently discovered In
various parts of Alaska.
In the treeless, arid region of of southern
California and Arizona, through which a.
portion of the Colorado river passes, mining
timber and fuel is supplied by logs brought
down by the stream from the high timbered
plateaus of Utah, hundreds of miles to the
north. The Hualap Indians in Eldorado
canyon, tributary to the Colorado, make a
business of collecting these far-trayeled
logs and supplying the Eldorado, Search
light and other mines.
In the treeless regions of the north, be-
sides driftwood there is another and as
yet undeveloped source of fuel in the thick
beds of peat formed by the arctic MOSES
on the tundra" The adaptation of this
to fuel purposes by manufacturing and
brquetting 1T is a matter worthy Of sert-
Gus consideration.

Facts About Refuse.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
In enumerating the articles which go
to make up the great waste pile of large
city, an English publication calls attention
to the enormous scrap heap of the city Of
London. Somebody has been estimating the
number of cigarette stumps, for example,
which are gathered up in week, and it
would make, If put together, a monster
cigar twenty-five feet long and thick in pro-
portion. This authority has also been fig
uring up the number of hairpins that are
wasted in Greater London. and estimates
the number at 80 10000 week. This num-
Der, put into the form of a hairpfn, would
be twenty-three feet in length and wide
enough at the base for man to ride
through on bicycle. The problem of the
disposition OF the waste of the city is one
which every municipality has to face, and
in London 1t is found that men and women
are literally seen up to their arm pits at
all the dumping places rescuing all man
ner of seemingly useless articles from the
fate OF incineration which awaits all such
refuse. These poor people dispose of the
refuse which they rescue and thus exc out
an existence, but It II not pleasant to awell
upon what use thsy might make Of It all

are unable to pay for such care them
selves, thus saving them from becoming
a public charge.
The revenue of the association is derived
entirely from voluntary contributions and is
all expended in caring for the sick. no Of

Euthanasia.
From American Medicine.

Euthanasia comes up for periodical dis
oCssion every little while, only to be given
an easy death itself There is always some
one ready TO resurrect the matter and give
IL feeble life preparatory to Its next bu-
rial At present 1t seems to be giving sew
eral people and several journals an I'M
necessary amount of worry. Murder Is
always murder, no matter how the deed is
done. Jurists have repeatedly decided that
to cut off life which has but a short time
to run is no less than murder always, and
they have called attention TO the fact that
all murdcrerS merely shorten" the lives Of
their victims. No one has an ylegal right
at present to take the life of any one, not
even of one who IS III dreadful agony and
moribund at that. 1t might be said that
We all are moribund from birth. Whether
the legal right should be given to a mans
relatives to end his existence In such cases
has uniformly been answered with an en-
phat tic negative. The execution of the aged
feeble crippled diseased was once an
Aryan necessity. for they could not be
supported. and long after the custom was
abandoned the Romans still kept up the
yearly ceremony OF throwing effigies into
the Tiber. The victims generally volun-
toered, for II was an honorable DEATH and
even among cannibals the old people Of
Tered themselves. under the belief that they
became divine.

Monster Bowl of Punch.

In 1854 Admiral Edward Russell,
commander of the English Mediterra-
mean feet, entertained 5000 people in
a large garden in Alicante, where he
served the largest bowl of punch ever
brewed. 1t contained twenty gallons of
lime juice, four hogsheads of brandy,
one pipe Of Malaga wine, twenty five
hundred lemons, thirteen hundred
weight Of fine white sugar, three pack
ages Of toasted biscuits, fifty-one
pounds Of grated nutmegs and eight
hogsheads of water. t
The whole was prevented from dilu-
ton in case of rain by a large canopy,
which spread over a marble fountain
bowl which held the punch. The punch
was served by boy, who rowed about
the basin Of tie fountain in a boat
built for the purpose and refilled the
empty cups.

The Story of the Duel Between Ham.
iltOn and Burr.

=
ilton and Burr.
The story of the Hamilton-Burr duel
is tragic in its brevity. The little party
Of fve-the principals, their seconds
and the surgeon-was on the ground
not long after sunrise. The prelimi-
naries were soon arranged. AS Pen
dleton, Hamilton's second, gave him
his pistol, he asked, "Will you have
the hairspring set?''
"Not this time," was the significant
reply, and then the men faced each
other.
According to the best authorities up
on a disputed subject, Burr fired at the
word. At the report, Hamilton started
forward with a convulsive movement,
reeled, involuntarily discharging his
pistol into the foliage above him, and
fell headlong. Burr, with an express
sion of pain upon his face, sprang to-
ward him, but Van Ness, his second,
seized him by the arm and hurried him
down the bank and into their boat.
Hamilton, being lifted up, revived
for moment and gasped, "This is a
mortal wound, doctor!" Relapsing
again into Inconsistencies he was
again revived by the fresh air Of the
river. "Pendleton knows" he said,
trying to turn toward his friends, 'that
did not intend to fire at him."
At. 2 the afternoon following be
