Alabama senators.

Hartford (Conn.l Times.
 General Pettus has told the Alabama folks that he wants another term In the Senate. General Pettus was born in ls21-two years before the birth Of the Monroe Doctrine. That makes him s5 now. His present term does not run out till 1909. By then hell be SS. He's truly remarkable. old bcy, and his colleague, General MoF- gan, born in 1924, is another. General Morgan's term runs out next year, but the Impatient youngsters who are projickin' around in Alabama politics have a disappointment coming to them unless he quits voluntarily. If he wants to stay on in the Senate, stay on he will.
 The Democratic nominating pri- maries in Alabama are to be held this coming summer. Alabama Is now on the quadrenniaI plan; the Legislature meets only once in four years. Conse- quently, the next Legislature will have the electing of both senators. The Alabama Democratic executive com mittee has directed the Democratic voters of the State to choose at the primaries the two men whom they want for senators, and also to choose two .'alternates" as precautt0n after the Legislature adj urns. That is to say, if Generals Morgan and Pettus are reelected and die a year of two afterwards, the Democrat governor is to appoint the alternates to the Senate. If only one of the senators dies before the expiration of his term, only one Of the alternates will go to Washington. If neither senator dies, both aiternates will stay qHitely at home.
 There seems to be much dissatls- faction in Alabama with these pre- cautionary arrangements of the Demo- 1 cratic executive committee. The Birmingham News for instance, i considers them disrespectful to the States grand old men and unseemly; also objectionable on other accounts, l But the esteemed Montgomery | Advertiser" commends them. It points 1 out that at the end of another term in the Senate General Morgan would be ss and General Pettus 93. Perhaps. ] it remarks, just such conditions as existed in any other State and are not likely to ever occur in Alabama again"

A NEW DANGER.

Seems to us that somewhat peF- plexing question may be raised on ac- count of a recent incident that occur red at Mt. vernon. N. Y. The Mayor of the town is suffering from blood poison and Is carrying a badly swol- len right hand. which he attributes to ~havins had the knuckle of his fore- finger scratched by one of the dia- nlonds in the ring worn by a lady caller with whom he shook hands,
 Nav. if the Mayor is correct. one of two things must be true: either dla- nonds are poison5us. or else they carry a stoek of microbes. We have never heard that the diamond of itself is dan gerous. Not great many people carry them we may admit and we have never heard or read that they contain poisonous qualities. If they are harm less as weaponss 1t must follow that there are such things as diamond mil crobes, and when the stone makes a scratch # deposits one or more germs in the wound. If this Is true, it is up to the scientists to investigate the Iit- tie things and learn what family they belong to. Perhaps an entirely new brand of 'crsbes will he discovered and a way found to head them off. It will be too bad if if is proven that wearing diamonds is dangerous to others as well as to the wsarer.
 And this. 1t may be mentioned in pas sing. Is one more argument for use by those who oppose the practice or habit of promiseuous hand shaking There are those who contend that people should never shake hands, and bring up various arguments in support ot their contention. Their position has been wonderfully strengthened since the germ theory of disease has become so generally accepted. because a public man who sometimes shakes hands will hundreds of people of all kinds and O ali degrees of cleanliness. encounter real danger. If In addition it is fount that the diamonds are also loaded W, may expect hand shaking to beeom, one Of the lost arts in the not distan future Whether We shall adopt thu savage habit of rubbing noses or jus stand off and talk 1t out we cant say but hand-shaking will be cut out of ou greetings if there are many othel reasons given for abolishlng it. As t, that, we can't say that we would not br just as well of without it.

SUBSTITUTE FOR LEATHER.

Again we are told that a substitute for leather has been found, or is about to be discovered Many and various have been the experiments looking to this end, but nothing approaching com plete success has yet appeared. In some portions of Europe shoe-soIes are made of wood, and we saw many such shoes during the war between the States, when leather was scarce. Also we know that cloth is much used for the uppers of shoes, and in many cases it is good for the purpose. still, there has as yet been nothing found or in- vented that will fully take the place of the real article.
 The Japanese, we now learn, have a material of a vegetable origin of which much is expected. We are told that the finished product Is strong and dur able, yet light in weight, and for many purposes fully up to the requirements of the best leather. It may be used successfully for upholstery and for many articles of utility and ornament and is also adaptable as a foundatioH for handsome wall paper and paneiing being especially adapted to tooiing and coloring," and if all these claims ar' made good we may yet see some rem edy for the scarcity and high price el the genuine article; provided. of course

Tea Thou.apa Caaariea From Germany


 with the notes of their song rising higher and clear above the notes Of the sea and the noise of the engines nearby, 10000 canary birds-the largest consignment ever sent to New York-arrived Saturday on the North German Lloyd steamship Neckar. The birds are from the Hartz mountains region of Germany, and consigned 10 n New York firm which ships canaries all over the United States.
 A dozen men constantly guarded the birds on the way over to prevent them being killed by the ships rats. Case upon case, filled with the tiny birds, almost filled the hold of the big ship. The simultaneous song of thousands could be heard above the roar of the storm which the Neckar encountered.
 The canaries, all males, win sell in this country at prices ranging from $2 to $f0 each. The birds are raised by thousands for deportation from 1 Germany and taught to sing by the aid of violin or flute
 The birds are never able to sing so l we'll after they have crossed the ocean as in their native land, for the air robs them Of their warbling note known as the barrel organ" It is l estimated that fully a half million canaries will be shipped here from | Germany by spring,

Vast Losses by Fire.

LtsIIe WtthIy.
 Individual carelessness, criminality, poor construction of buildings and loose and imperfect fire laws were re- sponsible for the loss last year in the United States and Canada of no less than S175.l57. 800 by confagrations of all sorts While this total Is less than that of 1904, when the Baltimore fire occurred, it is with that exception the highest fire loss yet recorded. Tn this matter of loss by fire, as with the slaughter occasioned by our railroads and the lynching horror, fhe United States has a distinction all it's own among civilized nations and one which can hardly be contemplated with pride or satisfaction.
