1t seems probable to the Boston
Advertiser that the balloon will be
the distinguishing and interesting
feature of the next great war, as the
torpedo boat, submarines and other
inventions have signalized the ad'
vance in recent wars. Warfare de-

Along with the reform of the menu
American landlords might well con-
slider the movement for the better
ment of hotel lodgings which Is under
way in France, opines the New York
World. The proposition Is to make
the bedrooms in hotels as sanitary
as those in hospitals. Hangings, car
pets and upholstery are to be abolish

clean and cleanable. No Judgment
places are to be permitted for dust
or microbes. If both these reforms
were to meet general adoption the
average comfort and healthfulness of
hotel life would be greatly advanced.

and identifying the remains of the
railroad passengers, which isn't al
ways the case with wrecked steam
boat passengers. There are other good
and sufficient reasons, but this will
do for one.
