SCIENCE BENEFICIAL
BUT SECRETARY WILSON SAYS
GOVERNMENT IS SLOW.
Government Scientists Are Doing
Great Work for Nation-Reap Some
of the Benefts-Are Given Patent
Rights So Far as They Apply to
Foreign Lands.

millions of dollars-in fact, a sum
so vast that it cannot be estimated
have been saved to the American peo-
pie by discoveries made by govern
ment scientists during the fiscal year
which has just closed" declared Sec
rotary Wilson, in speaking Of the rec
ord of the department of agriculture
for the year. thine alone must de-
velop the Importance to the world OF
the experiments being conducted every
day by these men, whose only reward
is in the passing fame attained in re-
porting valuable finds. There could
be money in many of these discoveries
if the scientists were to patent them
in their own names, but in every case
the people as a whole are the benefi-
Charles, for the patents are dedicated
tt; the government, to be used by the
United States or any of it's officers or
employees in the prosecution Of the
work for the United States, or by any
person in the United States without
the payment of royalty"
Secretary Wilson feels that the rec
ognition by the government of these
discoveries is far too meager, but he
does not hesitate to give to the scien
fist this little help whenever he feels
that it is merited. Whenever valu
able discovery, warranting United
States patent, is made by an employe
Of the department of agriculture, the
secretary advances the salary of the
employee as much as it is possible tc
do under the law. The patent is TAX
en- out in this country in the name
of the scientist making the discovery
and then dedicated to the United
States. If the discovery is APPLICABLE
to use in a foreign country the scien
fist is authorized to receive the bene
fit, but usually the patent is of a char
acter designed to meet conditions in
the United States and of little use
elsewhere.

SERIOUS CONDITION
ICEWAGON DRIVERS and GAR
BAGE men STRIKE In N. Y.
Great Fear Of Epidemic From Heaps Of
Garbage-NearIy 800 Carloads a
Day and Six Days Behind Now
1900 Men CONTRACTED for in PhiIadel-
phia-Disinfectants Scattered.

New York City is experiencing an
impressive demonstration as to what
extent the comfort of the millions is
dependent upon the handful, compare
lively, of citizens ordinarily engaged
in collecting garbage and delivering
ice. Two thousand garbage collectors
and an equal number of ice wagon
drivers are on strike ana the city is
in peril Of an epidemic of disease.
The garbage situation is the more
serious and unless speedily remedied
the possibility of evil is startling.
Nearly 755 carts are required to re-
move each days accumulation, and the
work is six days behind
The chief difficulty encountered by
the health department is that the men
who work for wages cannot honorably
take the places of strikers. Three
dollars day and permanent employ
ment is offered, but has attracted few.
Efforts to get men from other cities
have now been made and recruits are
promised from Philadelphia.
The healt-.s department took hold
late Friday and since has used its
police powers vigorously and it's emer-
gency fund of $4,000 without stint, but
SO far has been unable to meet condi-
tons effectually.
The officials of the board of health
intimated that private citizens would
be doing public duty if they became
garbage collectors. The mayor has de-
clared that the law does not permit
dealing with civil service employees
who are on strike, and the street
cleaning department has refused to
formally entertain the demands of the
men. 1t was intimated that settle
ment might be arranged legally.
Demands of the Men.
The men hold to their original de-
mands, the most important Of which
are:
THAT 4S hours constitute weeks
work and that overtime be paid at the
rate of 25 cents per hour.
2-That no fines be imposed without
the opportunity for a hearing.
3-That a system of suspension be
practiced instead of fines.
Monday the situation grew hourly
worse. What work was done was in
the vicinity of Chinatown, on the east
side. Meantime the waste accumu-
lated in other streets. In places re-
fuse was piled high and elsewhere
strewn from curb to curb. Unable to
do better, the health squaus scattered
disinfectants through miles of high
WAYS hoping to hold in check disease
breading germs.

COOLEST JUNE KNOWN IN EAST

Washington, July 1.-The weather
bureau announces that the month
just closed was the coolest June on
record in Washington, D. c., in the last
rs years, and that the same is prob
ably true of New England, the middle
Atlantic states and the lower lake re-
gion. In other parts of the United
States the temperatures were also low

statement says in explanation:

Three new stamps have just been Is
sued in Holland. Those who stick them
on their letters pay double postage, half
the value going to the state and half to

A staircase has been invented which
plays tunes as it is walked up and down
upon. A series of pins is pressed by
the feet and plays gongs and drums
while others are connected with collap-
sible chambers, which blow various in

The latest building material Is called
kremite, and is being made in st.

The height Of the Hottest known
mountain in the world, Mount Everest
in the Himalayas, has long stood In
the school Biographies at 29,OO2 feet.
Recent computations from the surveys
of Captain Wood of the Survey of In
dia reduce this estimate to 2S,7OO feet
Other high Himalayan peaks come
down proportionately. But these re-
suits are not regarded as final, and 1t is
thought that when certain factors have
been allowed for, the estimate Of Mount
Everest's height may be increased
above $4,000 feet instead Of being di-
minished below it
Successful experiments in sending tel
ephone messages by wireless electric
waves over a distance of forty kilo-
meters, nearly twenty-five miles, were
made recently by Professor Slaby. The
messages were transmitted between
Berlin and Nauen, and Professor Slaby
says that no approach to SO great q
distance has ever before been tried
Words and sentences were sent and re-
peated back with great distinctness
The success of the experiments is
ascribed to the isolation Of the micro.

foreign vibrations. Further expert.

They are particularly valuable in the

WORTHY OF ASSISTANCE.
Associated Charities Calls Attention
to Two Cases.

Among the 1861 families with which the
Associated Charities has had to deal this
month there are number in which private
citizens are asked to. take a direct. personal
interest from time to time. Secretary We'll
Ter today gave out two special stories as an
appeal to any one who may be interested.
The first case is that of good Dress
maker in Northwest Washington, re-
fined woman, whose husband has been
sick for several months and must have
hospital care for several months more.
Meanwhile the wife is left to support the
home and three little children by her nee
dlework. She is said to be q woman of
splendid character and good ability as a
dressmaker She is proud and sensitive,
and only asks for help in the form of work
for which people are willing to pay a fair
price. Her necessities are SO very urgent
that food has had to be given from the
funds Of the Citizens Relief Association,
and the rent is also overdue.
The other story IL that OF q crippled
boy in Georgetown, an orphan who believes
he can support himself IL provided with
a bicycle. He Is an exceptionally bright,
good boy, ambitious sensitive and eager
to work. On aceount Of being crippled

their real objection Is the cost. They
canot deny the hard fact that electrifica-
ton. which we suggest as the best means.
but not the only means, is a success In
New York and elsewhere. The Assoc
ciated Press announces in dispatch
published yesterday in The Star that the
Lackawanna, following the example of
the New York Central, the New York,
New Haven and Hartford and the Penn
sylyania, will electrify it's New York
zone This hard fact, certified by rail-
road and electrical experts in the arti-
cles, abstracts of which were given at q
former hearing, simply as tndtces of
what the committee might read, means
also that in time they will electrify here.
Meanwhile, they can meet the law in
other ways. But they come as railroad
corporations are apt to come. saying
Let us alone; give us more time till 1910
or 192O' or some fqr-off day. We do not
believe that this committee, which has
done so much to transform our railroad
terminals, abolish grade crossings. free
the mall from railway servitude and give
us the new union station. will fail to
complete its work by applying the smoke
law to the intolerable locomotive smoke
nuisance"
Mr.. Macfarland's statement closed the
hearing. The committee will probably
consider this matter at its meeting to be
held Friday.
