The water torch lately discussed by
Swiss scientists consists of metal
cylinder of calcium carbide, with
generator of selt-igniting pbos-
phuretted hydrogen, which sets fire
to the acetylene produced when the
carbide is wet. Thrown 1000 yards
by special gun, the torch burns
from 80 minutes to three hours with
a light of 100 to 800 candle power. 1T
is suggested that such torches would
protect battleships from night sur
prise, and that one attached to life
belt would enable drowning person
to find the belt.

A Unique Governor.

Charles Il. Hughes has been govern
or of New York for almost a year
quite long enough to allow his measure
to be taken. Yet it is, difficult mat
ter to classify the man at Albany. Aft
er looking 1T this human specimen
from all sides and in all lights the con-,
clusion is reached that he does not be-
long in any classification hitherto ac-
cepted, but is a whole new class by
himself. AS public administrator
Governor Hughes is unique.
People are asking, what about this
man Hughes?' with thoughts on presi-
dental possibilities, but it is declared
by close friends of the governor MIN
self and indeed by intimate observers
who oppose him politically that the
subject of this curiosity is not think
ing at all about what may happen to
him or who Hughes may be next year
or ten years hence. Hughes, they say,
is simply attending to his job as gov
ernOr of New York.
1t may be said that Mr.. Hughes in
depreciation of the duties of a state
executive is the one thing that differ
entiates him from the general run of
governors the country over. How he
interprets his duties is best explained
by citing incidents in his official career
Before Mr.. Hughes went TO Albany

Neither Boss Nor Machine.

And it is not at all likely that they
will be assembled so long as Charles
L. Hughes stays in Albany. There is
no Republican party machine in New
York state at present writing. Up to a
year or two ago the machine was as
active as an automobile with full
tank out to break the record. Now 1t
lies by the wayside like an auto that
has butted against steel telegraph
pole. Governor Hughes is the steel
pole. There is no Republican boss In
New York state. Boss Plat is no
more Boss Odell is no more. State
Chairman Woodruff, who might be
boss with some other man than
Hughes In the gubefnatorial chair, is
not boss at all. For the first time in
many years New York state Republic
ans have neither boss nor machine.
Why not? Because the man at the
big fiat desk in the large open cham
Der at Albany steadfastly refuses to
attend to anybody's business but his
own. He is the governor and attends
to the governors business. His inter-
probation of the governors business
does not include partisanship of any
sort, does not include fixing up the
fences so that the party may win out
next year. does not include shystering
and chicanery, tricksterinw and traf-
ticking in patronage-none of those
things at all. Apparently he is not
concerned, officially at any rate, as to
whether New York city goes Republic
an or Cattaraugus. county carries the
whole ticket with Increased majorities.
He does. not care. officially speaking
whether the Empire State Is Repub-
lean or Popaiist next year. That is
none of his business. His business is

NM Such was the query Of
w Chairman Stevens of the
New York legislatures gas
trust investigating committee in March,
1903, when State Senator Alfred r.
Page, one of the members, suggested
Attorney Charles Evans Hughes fof
chief counsel or inquisitor.
Just at present Mr.. Hughes is gov.
ernor of New York, but he was an
unknown lawyer when that question
Hughes was good lawyer. A cOnsid-
cradle group of men in New York city,
where lie practiced, also knew this
fact. But there are many other good
lawyers in New York, so that is not
very much of distinction However,
Page insisted TO Stevens that Hughes
was the very best lawyer available
for the work in hand-to corkscrew
confessions of amazing manipulations
out of Consolidated Gas officials, to
core of lighting contracts and illumi-
nate the Opaque interior and TO dis
cover that New York people were pay

the working desk of the governor was
in a small room adjoining the fine
large chamber which is known as the
executive office. Former governors pre-
ferred the small room so that they
could keep away from the crowd which
frequently fills the large room; also, it
must be said, some of them preferred
the little office so that they could talk
in private with politicians. Governor
Hughes used the little room for a few
days Then lie marched out into the
big room and took his seat at the ex-
panSive fat desk which had been
merely ornamental, and he works there
every day.
Shortly after this move a certain in
dividual entered the big chamber and
put his face close to the governors,
saying softly:
Il want TO see you alone, governor"
Il am alone" replied the governor in
his everyday voice.
But this is a private matter, gov
ernor, and
is it official businesS?'

to the future of Charles f. Hughes.
The people. however, are in no such
perpleXity. Everywhere throughout
New York state you may hear people
mentioning Hughes for the presi-
Dental nomination. And this recent
utterance of President Schurman of
Cornell ina public address delivered
from the platform where Abraham
Lincoln made his first speech in the
east, the old Cooper Union in New
York city. expresses the situation:
"If the people want Governor Hughes
for higher service. it is best for them
to take the initiative and extend the
