LOOKING FOB THE CAUsE.

The British don't like the way the credit of their country is declining, and they are looking around for the cause. The opponents of applied socialism charge it to the recent expenditure of $1, ,5O0, 100000 on Irish land purchase, and to municipal work An investigation of the credit books of the London county council has been authorized. This in quiry is aimed at discovering not only how the money was spent, but what municipal enterprises were conducted at a loss and what at profit. An in vestigation will also be made of the books of twenty-eight borough councils and local boards affiliated with them. IAnti-municipalists assert that the dis closures will deal damaging blow to the notion that the English have out stripped ti1e world in efficient and eco- nomical municipal government. They QeClare Jnds incompetence anu eAlrdN- agance are commonplace through all grades of the municipal system.
 It wouldn't be at all surprising if the anti-municipalists should find what they expect to. Municipal ownership is pretty much of a sameness wherever 1 it is tried, and that sameness isn't en- couraging.

NOT YET PFRFEC1.

This is far from being a perfect world yet. The New York State board of health, which has been inquiring, finds much evidence to sustain the view that compulsory education laws, while eff fectual in preventing class of chill dren from growing up in ignorance, expose the people generally to grave danger from contagious diseases by forcing children from unsanitary homes into the schools It is recommended that school buildings be ventilated fre- quently and fumigated with formalde- hyde gas. It Is recommended that teachers be employed who have better knowledge of hygienic conditions, aud janitors who are more intelligent. Every teacher, the report says, should keep a card at hand setting forth the incipient symptoms of contagious dis eases. The board has learned from Health Commissioner Darlington that out of over 55,O0O children examined in New York city nearly 19oOO were ex- cluded from school on account of con tagious disease.
 But there is improvement, and t1ere will continue to be until education and disease wont be close companions.

Props of concrete are being used in coal and other mines successfully and economically in place of lumber. A great deal of lumber is being used in
 mines as supports in the galleries and
 drifts, and the atmospheric conditions in the mine interior make it necessary to renew this wood frequently. With the props made of cement the first cost is the only one, for once they are placed they are there for all time. The cement props are at the mouth of the mine, and being reinforced with metal, they are not nearly so bulky as those of wood, which is often an important consideration. It is said that their cost is half that of wood. The Reading Coal and Iron company has adopted concrete for this purpose, and has equipped a plant for making the props.

Art is sometimes long and hard. A. "A. Boussoff is a Russian painter of arctic scenes. To produce his sketches he was compelled to make toilsome and hazardous journeys, during which he could only use charcoal and pastel. It was not possible, save in the spring, to use oil colors, and even then it was hard to mix them, the paints being frozen. "Some of my sketches" he says, 'I painted in the open air when it was bitterly cold. I had t0 put on fur gloves to hold the brush and work with rapid and energetic strokes. There were moments when my hands were frozen and refused service, my brush splitting with the cold. Yet I contfnu. ed, having the ardent desire to fix on the canvas all those fantastic phenom- ena of the far north, so full of fas- cinating charm
