Can we worship God by whistling? We suppose we can, but up to now whistling hasn't been generally regard ed as worship. Perhaps it wont be soon, but beginning in that direction seems to have been made. This begin ming was made In Methodist meeting house in Anderson, Indiana, where the pastor, who urged the congregation to join in the music even If they could not sing. illustrated what h2 meant by whistling from the pulpit in accompani- ment to the choir.

ICE AND PEACHES.

The ice crop has been more or less saved, though it is quite probable that we shant hear much about the saving of it next summer, when ice will be the best. But the same thing that saved the ice crop has, it has appeared great ly damaged the southern peach crop. The talk is that a third of it has been absolutely ruined and the other two- thirds are commercially worthless"
 These periods of gloom about the peach crop are not uncommon. In fact, they are almost annual But somehow or other there are always enough poor and unripe peaches in the market The other kind seems to have been ruined to stay ruined. And as we can have no hope of getting that kind let us not weep over the predictions of those who will have peaches to sell unless the crop is absolutely plotted out. This is a big country, and the railroads have made it easy to get things around. So if it does happen that there are not quite enough poor southern peaches there may be enough elsewhere to supply the deficiency. And the watermelon crop hasn't yet been ruined

Great Part That Electricity Plays in
 National Prosperity.
 When people buy business Is good, and people are now buying and busi- ness is good throughout this country and Europe. There is no tulip craze of chasing after localities, but pur- chases are made to an extent which taxes, the productive resources of manu featuring establishments, whose out put is generally sold far in advance.
 It is evident that the balance of the increment of the productive capacity of humanity is increasing, and this aug mentation of the average potentiality of the individual is the only measure of this enlarged difference between Iproduction and consumption which constitutes the increase of prosperity It must not be overlooked that mater ial possessions have not been discover ed in these territories by wars or ex- tensive fires. Both of these annihila- tions of value have been for runners of financial crisises, other losses are more transfers of property.
 It does not answer the proposition to attribute this fortunate commercial condition to machinery, for there have been no radical improvements in me- thods of manufacture or transporta- ton of freights by land or sea during the last twenty-five years sufficient to introduce materially different ecomic conditions.
 The term labor saving machinery is largely misomer, for while the re- duction of hours of labor in the face of the increased numbers of workers anon growing population has been compass ed by the combined application of im- proved machinery and modern methods of organization, yet the function of ma- chinery has served to increase produc- ton and to facilitate distribution to an extent which quickens the luxuries of one generation into the necessities of the next.
 If there is now an increased surplus without any recent evidence of a cor responding addition to the rate of in- dividual production or any dlminution of consumption of living expenses, then 1t is among the wastes of recent years that search must be made for the cause of this increment. The first analysis reveals the solution, and that is In the l service of electricity to mankind, which has cut down wastes which were hitherto unavoidable.

The use of the tele- phone is still the basis of wonderful anecdotes of how persons save days of travel about city by few local calls. Through the service of this instrument or rather the system of which it is the nucleus, many of the vest army of messengers have been assigned to di- rectly productive employments.

 The conditions of messengers in place of telephone service in a sky scraper present a hypothetical aspect akin to that of the substitution of oars men for the propulsion of steamship, in which they would far exceed the eap- city of the vessel, as 1t would require 720,O00 men. working in eight-hour relays, to produce the SO,0OO horse- power used on the large Atlantic lin- CTS.

THE TorAGE OF THE .DEWEr

As the United States can do anything, it was to be expected, and was expect ed, that she could take the big drydoc.x Dewey over the wide and wet sea to the Philippines. Still, there has been a little anxiety about the matter, and the report that the dock is getting along safely is cheering. The dock left the Chesapeake Bay in the latter part of December last, and for fourteen days lately had not been heard from. It was not thought in Washington that there would be any difficulty encountered by the expedition, for 1t was known that the weather conditions were reasonably good, the trip of the dock being timed by the photographers so as to take ad- vantage of the fair winds across the Atlantic, but 1t is now realized that those who estimated the time to be made by the expedition gave the dock too much credit The builders of the structure have insisted that under the best conditions the expedition could not make greater speed than ninety miles a day on the average, making no allow ance for the accidents to the hawsers and the transfer of stores.
 
 Good luck to the Dewey. She is now nearing Spain, and it would be especially sad to have her broken or sunk in that region.

KILL 'EM, ETC.

The mosquito is being pursued be- cause it is believed that he spreads yellow fever and things, and they are after the rat in India because it is be- lleved that he spreads the plague An elaborate review has just been publish ed Joy the British Indian government of the conclusions drawn from the experi- ence acquired during the last five years in endeavoring to check the plague. During that period the plague has gradually spread to almost every part of India, and tends to recur year after year. Pending the completion of the inquiry, the government indicates cer- tain preventive measures which appear most likely to be successful, and special stress is laid on the destruction of rats. It says: The most conspicuous change in the opiniop of experts in India re- garding plague since July, 1900, is the greatly increased importance now as- 
 cribed to the part played by rats in spreading and keeping alive the dis ease. Rats are exceedingly susceptible to plague, and when once they are in- fected they usually communicate infec- ton, not, only to men but also to houses which have undergone thorough disinfectlon. It is, therefore, as essen- tial to the safety of the community to destroy infected rats as to segregate plague-stricken people; in fact, almost all evidence regarding causation of plague may be regarded as pointing to the rat as the chief agent in its diffusion. For this reason the impor- tanee of destroying rats has been fn- sisted on by framers of the Paris con- vention of 1908, and although European opinion is not unanimous on the point the governor-general considers that eX- perience acquired in India warrants the belief that systematic destruction of these animals promises to be one of the most effective measures that can be adopted for preventing the spread of plague.
 The rat looks and acts as if he were mean enough to spread anything, and his complete destruction wouldn't hurt the feelings of the human family.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The article Angels Are Masculine, But Why Colonels?" by "Quidnunc, in your paper recently, is full of wit and humor as other articles l have read from the pen of this writer have been. But am not to be fooled by taking anything this person says seriously. This last article does show up the ridic- ulousness of these staff generals, colo nels, etc. What good are they? They only make useless expenses for the State to bear. The making of generals and colonels and other officers in this manner is an insult to our army and navy. I believe the candidate for gov- ernor who will announce that he will make nc staff appointments will be the one who will sit under the golden dome." ARMY AND NAVY. .

A recent British scientific expedition discovered that the Indian ocean float ing life Is exceedingly abundant at all depths down to about 7,2oO feet in seas 15,O0O feet deep. By floating life is meant animals which form the food of whales and deep ocean fish, and which, up to the present, have been believed to live on or very close to the surface. 4 variety of enormous squids were fished out, as well as jellyfish and prawns fully six inches long Some of these latter were blind, while others had huge eyes, but nearly all of them had phosphorescent organs, which would naturally be due to the fact that they live at a depth where almost total darkness prevails. The blind varieties had enormous feelers or antennae, some of them extending to twice the length of their bodies.

The intention is not as might be supposed, to make impos- sible the clandestine passage of sub marines, but purely and simply to frighten the cells, and to prevent them from passing into the outer seas, and thuslbeing lost to Danish fisheries. The experiments are based upon the fact that these fish are we'll known to be afraid of-and never, for example, mi grate during the time of full moon.

Ex-Governor Evans, of South Caro- lima, says that the dispensary system in that State will not be abolished. "The chief cause of the unpopularity of the dispensary will be removed by the enactment of measure which will absolutely eliminate every chance of graft on the part of officials charged with the administration of the law A bill passed the lower branch of the leg isiature which did away with State con- trol, but put the dispensaries in the hands of the counties. To this the sen- ate very wisely would not agree. The senate has the correct idea, and that is to retain State control of the liquor traffic but to cut off the grating. In line with this the board of commission CTS will be abolished. It was the charges made against this board that gave rise to all the scandal and public condemnation"
