Aerial Engineers. U. s. Al" flying ma

ets" or something like this. for the news
of the day shows that the government has
purchased $4,000 worth OF balloons. and
that an aerial station has been established
at Fort Omaha, Neb. 1t is given out that
three balloons will soon be shipped to this
station that more will follow, and that a
hydrogen gas tank has been quilt to supply
the big bags. The experiments with these
balloons are to be under direction of Gen
eral James 8. Allen Of the Signal corps.
European powers have been busy with
the balloon question for long time, and
American military observers have not had
their eyes shut. Doubtless the military
branch of this government has learned
much by the experiments OF other nations
Expert observation has been profitable
to this country. The Navy department
jumped from the civil war type of warship
construction to the up-to-date type, unless
the building Of the ships Boston, Chicago
and Atlanta be classed as an intermediate
or experimental step. In the matter OF
submarines this government progresses
at one bound from submarines on paper and
in theory to submarines OF approved type
in practice. This was true of torpedo
boats and destroyers.
The eyes of the army have been kept
on the experiments of foreign governments
with artillSly and small arms.
The result of this alertness has been the
saving of untold millions of dollars. The
artillery branch of the army progressed
at one step from the Napoleon OF the civil
war to the 3.2-inch breech loading Rock
Island field piece, and has recently dis
carded this weapon for the 8-inch rife OF
German model It is believed that the new
field piece and the new Springfield rife
are unexcelled in accuracy, range and
rapidly of fire.
From the time OF the civil war to the
creation of the Endicott board the FORTH
cations of the United States were absurdly
antique, and were armed with the Column
biads, mortars and other civil war types
of ordnance. In some cases these iron guns
had been converted into rIied breech-load-
ers. But at one stroke the ordnance of
the forts was brought up to date. And
so were the forts themselves
1t is reasonable to believe that the army
in a few months will be abreast of the
armies of France and Germany in the eff
fective use OF the balloon.

SECRETARY oORTELYOU AND THE
TREASURY.


The eastern banking concerns and
varied interests in Wall street are al
ready specializing as to what the poll
icy and course of the new secretary
of the treasury will be, particularly
with regard to the relations between
the government treasury and the
financial institutions of the east. The
laws governing the treasury operations
of the federal government are sup
posed to be complete and explicit. But
the record of the last dozen years, be-
ginning with the Cleveland admins
tration, have demonstrated that large
discretionary powers rest with the sec
rotary and that many laws and regula-
lions for handling government funds
are subject to various interpretations.
Different secretaries have construed
these laws and regulations in different
ways, the usual result being to find
some methods of employing the treas
ury funds for the relief of Wall street
In times of financial stringeney, due
to legitimate demands for money or,
as has frequently been the case, to
overspeculation and stock market
booms.
The question that concerns Wall
street and New York banks is whether
Mr.. Cortelyou will follow precedents in
sometimes straining the public law to
avert awkward crises In the financial
market. His immediate predecessor,
Mr., Shaw. was faced with number
of such emergencies in his Eve years
term of service and met them with
actions looked upon as daring inno-
vations. He was the first secretary of
the treasury to decide that accepted
state bonds or other approved secur-
tiles might be taken as security from
national banks In which the govern
Insnt desired to deposit public money,
Prior to that time the government had
always insisted upon such deposits be-
ing secured by government bonds.
Prior to Secretary Shaw, secretaries
had always held that revenues must
first 20 10 national banks as deposit
tories and then be drawn into the
treasury. Secretary Shaw ruled that
the banks. under the law. were really
branches OF the federal treasury and
that the government could send money
to these banks as well as receive Il
from them. -.
A third precedent established by MT
Shaw was to deposit money directly
with the national banks with the un-
.derstanding that It was to be used
in the import of foreign gold, the de
posit serving to save the bank the In
terest on the gold in transit. The eff.
feet OF Mr.. shaw's different innova-
tons was 70 prevent disturbances in
the money market threatened by the
enormous demand OF the country for
more money. a demand. due to indus

LATE BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

After forty-fve years series OF letters
by Karl Marx, the great German Socialist
author. have been collected and published
In small. workers library form. These
articles were written in 1s51-ls52 when
Marx had been about eighteen months In
England For nearly ten years Marx and
his family had been driven from pillar to
post The author had been expelled from
Prussia, France and other countries, his
journals suppressed and everything sur
rounding him would have discouraged a
less philosophic genius, During this
period the family of the author of "'Das
Kapital' was in direct poverty. Herr
Marx had been recommended to Charles
A. Dana, at that time managing director
of the New York Tribune. and the first of
the letters sent to the great American
editor are reproduced in this book. The
New York Tribune at that time was an
admirably edited paper with a big staff
of distinguished contributors both Ameri-
can and European. The letters begin with
conditions in Germany at the outbreak of
the revolution and gradually describe
conditions and events through the stirring
times to the close of the insurrection and
trial at Cologne. The book will be
treasured by followers Of Karl Marx the
world over.
