ably will never allow it to come before in any shape whatever.
 Is that so? in the language of the day. If it is Brother Burton is neither kind nor just in his attitude toward New Haven. If he has been bothered by the advocates of the improvements needed at New Haven he is entitled to sympathy, but of course he is not en- titled to let such bother turn him against us and our legitimate wants. He is in congress to deal justly with al! that comes before him, and we have faith enough ip him to believe that he will. So let us pay no attention to this little ebullition, but keep on agitating and importuning. Sometime we shall be heard for our much speaking, and sometime the justice of our cause will receive the attention it merits. Up to date New Haven has been sighted, while other points in the State have been favored. Give us a change in the programme, gentlemen of power and in power, New Haven is no mean city, even if her neglected harbor and river facilities are just now rather on that order.

FRENCH HUMO'R.
Much of it Merely Absurd, and, in
 That, Like Ours.

Much of it Merely Absurd, and, in
 That, Like Ours.
 Often French wit is of the merely ab- surd sort, like much of our own, says Marvin Dana, in Lippincotts. Thus it was a French courier who said of a man famous for his obesity that the found him sitting all around a table by himself That is really better than our modern American jest on the ap- preaching fat man: "Here comes a crowd"
 Even more AE2rican in character is the remark of the boasting Gascon, that man boxed him on the ear-he was buried the next day.
 Here is French joke that is rather English in character: The Marquis de Favlerers, notorious for his impecu- niosty, called on man of means ham, ed Barnard and said:
 Monsieur, I am going to astonish | you I am the Marquis de Favieres
 do not know you, and l come to borrow five hundred louis.
 Monsieur, Barnard replied, I am going to astonish you much more, know you and I am going to lend | them"
 Yet the typical French story always has a sting to it, like the famous one of the wife who died, which has gone over the world in varying guise. In the vil- lage of Poitou woman feli into a trance, after the Poitou custom, she was wrapped in a sheet to be carried to the cemetery, but as the procession was passing through a narrow road a thorn of the wayside pierced the sheet, wounded her so blood flowed, and she awoke. Fourteen years later the wo- man really died and again was borne toward the grave. As the procession pasesd through the narrow road, the husband called

One of the questions.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier: The Economic Club is doing many good things, and in a good way too. The club is composed of broad-minded, intelligent men, and from every point of view is probably the best fitted of all the organizations in New Haven to take up and settle the great moral and economic wrongs our citizens are strug gling under The greatest wrong should be taken up first, and is indicat- ed in this question: Are not the citi- zens of New Haven, from moral and economic standpoint, entitled to some taxes from Yale on the buildings sine uses for business purposes, like the din- ing hall, buildings that are used for renting rooms, etc.?

perts. Formerly there was theory that the most efficient turret was that which could be turned most rapidly, the idea being to fix the gun upon the target with the least loss of time. This has all been changed now, and the the ory is to operate the turret so that it may be turned and the guns trained with the greatest precision of move ment and delicacy of aim. This has been accomplished to such a success ful degree that the turret may be turned in way which is not percepti- ble to the eye, The minimum rate will equal one revolution of the turret in thirty hours. This is considered sufff-
 ciently slow to permit the gun to be held on target which is moving slow ly at @ great distance. The movement is considered most advantageous in all respects, and is accepted as increasing the efficiency of turret operation.

 Dutch humor and wit are not of a sort to appeal to us often. The people of Holland are rarely sarcastic; their fun making is of a most ponderous kind. Once up on a time a controver- sy started between Holland and Zea- land, and the argument continued for two years. The thrilling question at is- sue was: Does the cod take the hook or does the hook take the cod? Let this illustration suffice.

AN TNSTRUoTITE INCID ENr.

The fact that the late chief justice of the Supreme court of Pennsylvania didn't make his own will legally is brought forward as another of the dan gers of living and dying, The will left a large sum of money to found a farm school for the training of youth in ag- ricultural pursuits. This came under the statute relative to the leaving of money for religious and charitable purposes" which requires that a will containing such a bequest be attested by two subscribing witnesses. Chief Justice Paxson's will was not thus at tested
 There is no doubt what Chief Justice Paxson meant to do but he didn't do it. His failure is instructive. One of the plain lessons is, don't be your own lawyer, but perhaps the chief one is that if a man wants to benefit the world with some or all of ais money the best time to do it is while he is still alive and can see it's application. That is the way MT Rockefeller, MT. Carnegie and others of the great givers are doing, and perhaps they have made benevolent and beneficent wills too. But they can be certain that the money they have already given has reached it's destination and is doing it's intend- ed work No neglect postponement or flaw in will can interfere with some of their plans, at any rate.

SWAPPING ANIMALS.

The New Zealanders, though they have about everything in the way of government that can be thought of, are not yet satisfied. They want some chamols to leap from crag to crag, as those animals4l like to do, So the New Zealand government has made ar engagements for the importation of a number of chamois from the Imperial Austrian menagerie. These selected animals arrived recently in London, and are doubtless now on their long journey to their new home. Every pos sible care has been exercised in mak- ing provisions for their proper ship ment, and little doubt is entertained that, if they reach their destination in good condition, they will flourish and multiply In return for the chamois the New Zealanders have furnished the Emperor of Austria with living speci- mems of various kinds of wild duck, rails, kea parrots, apteryx, and queer lizards. A New Zealand official will accompany the chamois on their voy- age.
 This is significant news. Why shouldn't all the civilized countries take to swapping useful and attractive animals? They swap too many pests now, but they could profit by swapping the other kinds The United States ought to have more animals than it has. It can support them.

A process has been recently devised by some European scientists by which cellulotd is rendered fireproof. This is done by the addition of some chemical salts to the celluloid during the process of manufacture when the material is in 3 fluid state. Under the action of heat these salts give off gases in such quan- titles as to interfere with combustion, which makes the celluloid perfectly safe. The addition of this material does not interfere with the fabrication of the celluloid for any purpose what ever.

FREED FROM PAIN AND 4 PENSION

FREED FROM PAIN AND 4 PENSION
 There can be no question about the
 sincerity of a Christian Scientist who lives in Missouri. A Missourian vet
 eran of the civil war converted to the theory that pain was an error, that one lnever was sick, but that one was mere | ly ruled by a belief of sickness. that
 mind ruled matter, and that those wllo believed they were well were well, fol- lowing this belief to the last analysis, knew that he had not been injured i'll
 the military service, that the lonely vigils of camp life could not have in- jured him, and that the long army marches were really good for his
 health, that to believe he was in poor health was wrong, and he gave up his pension of SIP a month saying that 1t was the deception of mind which made him claim it.
 Of course there wont be many such incidents, but one is enough to indicate what can be done, The Christian Sci entists are well entitled to feel that
 this incident is great lift for their
 cause, and they can point with pride
 and hope to 1t. A man who frees him-
 self from pain and pension through
 the influence of Christian Science is
 either a most remarkable man, or else he has embraced a most remarkable be- lief. Perhaps the trutb is both
