A LEARNED CRITIC.

If for no other reason but to show the wide
spread interest taken in the letters of learned
correspondent, Oswald Crawford we publish in this
issue communication from Stanley Quinn of
New York taking exception to Mr. Crawford's CON
tention that ST. Brendan visited America and
preached Christianity to the aborigines. At the
time Mr.. Quinn wrote his criticism he had not yet
read Mr. Crawfords letter which appeared in our
last issue. When he has read General Butterfeld's
letter and critically examined the result of his re-
search, his perhaps that Mr. Crawford's enthusi-
asm is due to mistaken loyalty to the soil of the
shamrocks' is not so, but to his profound learning
and widespread archaeological knowledge, and that
his conclusions are as 'logical as they are com
mendable'
Mr.. Quinn, in registering his protest" assumes
that St. Brendans voyage to be myth because,
"as am educated and intelligent reader of history
he not but accept final the decision of those
historians and photographers whose works in all de-
partments of research has stamped them as able
and impartial" But they infallible in their de-
cisions! If not, Mr.. Quim's acceptation is not a
logical conclusion. He quotes certain authors who
unite in declaring that the chances of st. Bren-
dams discovery of America are highly improbable
Here we would respectfully ask Mr.. Quinn to com
plete his syllogism His but and ergo according
to the rules of logic will give him nothing but an
improbable conclusion.
New discoveries are being made each year which
prove concusively that America was visited by Eu-
ropeans in prehistoric times Last week the dis
patches told of the discovery of rare coins Roman
eagles, which antedated the Christian era Arch
biologists will doubt if the discovery proves to
be genuine, add another chapter to prehistoric
America
Mr. Quinn will not contend that all historical re-
search is exhausted or that the history of all an
cient pathfinders has been written. This Mr.
Quinn admits when he writes Perhaps he (Mr
Crawford may have some new and hitherto undis-
covered proof of his assertions" These proofs
given in General Butterfeld's letter They are Civ
en- by Oswald Crawford, not as conclusive evidence
but the result of deep research of disinter-
ested scholar whose only ambition was to solve the
supposed voyage of St. Brendan and his monks
Our scholarly and brilliant correspondent is not
writing history but resuscitating old traditions and
verifying these as far as historical research and hu-
proves that Mr.. Crawford does not confine his ar
gument that the Indians were versed in Christian
knowledge to their veneration of the Cross They
believed in baptism, confession etc This the writ
er verifies. 1t is now up to Mr. Quinn. when he
reads the testimony to draw his conclusions

Autos and Highways.

The full bench of the Massachusetts,
supreme court decides that selectmen of
towns and aldermen of cities have the
power to prescribe that automobiles
shall not pass over certain streets and
public highways, and also bave the
power to regulate the speed at which
they shall be run.
The defendant in the case claimed that
he had as much right to drive his auto.
mobile over any public highway as his
neighbor with horse and carriage and
that as long as it was kept open for
other vehicles he could not be excluded.
But the decision is that such regulations
are within the reasonable and proper
police power of the local authorities, and
such as the legislature has a right to
delegate.
1t is said that this is the first time this
exact question has been passed upon by
any tribunal of ultimate jurisdiction and
it is of interest to autoists and the gener'
al public everywhere. Huntington News.

M a nufacturing Paper from
CornstaIks.

The chemists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have at last
solved the problem of how to turn into
paper the millions of tons of cornstalks
wasted annually. After years of expert
ment, the department now reports that
the vast quantity of material heretofore
considered valueless and destroyed every
year by the farmers of the country can
be utilized, thus saving much of the re-
manning wood reserve of the United
States, and bringing about the manufac-
ture of paper from an annual crop.
The first practical samples of this new
paper were manufactured in Washington,
and consist of five grades in colors. One
grade is dark gray, thick and heavy,
resembling parchment. There is lighter
grade of the same character, two shades
are manufactured from the hard outside
part of the cornstalk, and the former
from the interior or the pith. The yellow
grades have much longer fiber and resem
BILE paper made from cotton rags or linen,
being soft to the touch and plable, and
appearing to have been made from ma
terial of entirely different character from
that used in the gray product.
In the process of the experiments
which resulted so successfully, the soda
cooked" method was employed. This
process many manufacturers of paper
have found to be the best treatment for
the finer grades of wood pulp paper. The
cornstalk pulp can be cooked in from
two to two and one-half hours, as against
twelve to fourteen hours needed in treat
ing wood. 1t is claimed that even at the
present primitive stage of experimental
ton, cornstalk paper can be made almost
as cheaply as wood-pulp paper, though
the latter industry has been developing
for the past half century, The belief is

To Raise ArnoId's FLAGSHIP.

Traditions of sunken treasure are re-
vived by the report that the hulk of the
Royal Savage, Benedict Arnold's flagship
in his unlucky campaign against the
British in ITO, will soon be raised. The
unprecedentedly low water now makes
it possible to see the wreck more clearly
than before. 1t lies two miles down the
shore from this place in about 20 feet of
water, whereas in ordinary seasons 1T
would be fully 80 feet below the surface.
Those who are back of the project to
raise the wreck, however, expect the his
torical interest of their finds to repay
them for their trouble, even if no treas
ure be recovered. The work will be
done by j. E. Cushman of Burlington,
under the direction of special com
mittee, consisting of j. B. Riley, j. II.
Booth. and w. G. Wetherbee, appointed
by the New York State Champlain ter
centenary commission. The diver reports
that about As per cent. of the hull is in a
fair state of preservation, and that it can
be raised practically intact. In case this
can be done, the ancient warship will be
an important feature of the celebration
here next year.
Several years ago a company was
organized for the recovery of the Royal
Savage gold, and it is currently believed
that the United States troops at Platts-
burg barracks were employed to drive
away the members of an expedition
which this company sent to raise the
treasure by night.
The Royal Savage was the flagship of
81 ships and small boats which were
gathered by Arnold in the summer of
1776 to support the land campaign of
Gen. Gates. On October II he was
attacked by the British hotilla, com
manded by Capt. Pringle, as his boats
were drawn up in line across the channel
between Valcour Island and the western
shore of the lake. After a five-hour
action the Royal Savage grounded, was
abandoned by Arnold, and was burned
to the waters edge by the British.
The coming of night saved the Ameri'
cans from complete defeat, and Arnold
succeeded in eluding the British boats in
the darkness - only, however, to be
decisively defeated two days later.-New

System" Meth o d s.

Very much better testimony than that
of Mr.. T. w. Lawson is now before the
public in regard to the methods of what
the people have come to know as the
System" In the present case it is the
Powder trust, but the methods of all the
trusts are identical. The testimony in
question was given by Mr.. r. S. Waddell,
former general sales agent for the Pow
der trust, in the course of a detailed
examination as to the methods employed
to obtain control of trade. He told of an
attack which has been made by the con-
Germ which he represented on the Indiana
Powder company. Mills were erected,
the product was sold at or below cost and
men were employed to create dissensions
between the Miners association and the
Operators association. Later the Great
Northern Supply company was organized
to deal in not only powder but in shovels
and picks, etc., and in course of time the
weaker company went under. Then the
batteries were trained on the Southern
OWuti COMPANY vi <hids
1--WE fixed it so they couldn't get out of
the State" said MIR. Waddell. 1--WE had
freight rates systematized on all the rail
roads out of Birmingham so that powder
could never net more than seventy cents
per keg, very close to OF less than cost,
and then awaited developments. In a
year the Southern Powder company
failed. The witness also admitted that a
plan was formed which enabled the trust
to place the entire powder trade through
out the United States on contract basis
and storage and delivery company was
established from which the independents
derived no advantage for the excellent
reason that they were not permitted to

freely expressed by the scientists who
have been conducting tn ese experiments,
that when proper machinery is brought
out, and the farmers grow cornstalks in
localities where they can be moved
cheaply to the mill, the cost will be fully
fifty per cent. less than paper now manu-
featured from wood. At the present per
iod, with wood at IS cord, it costs $l3 to
manufacture ton of wood pulp. With
cornstalks at So ton, and adding the
cost of bringing the stalks from nearby
farms to the laboratory of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington, pulp
can be manufactured at Sl4 ton. These
figures are looked upon as prophetic of
the future, no new product ever having
been produced in the past at anything
near the price reached subsequently with
commercial development.
No special growth of corn is required,
as the experiments have shown that any
kind will answer the purpose of manu-
facture. The kind used, however, was
the common Virginia and Maryland field
corn. but that grown anywhere will do
as well. The discovery is undoubtedly
one of the most important of its kind
made in recent years, as it wi
millions of dollars to the income of the
farmers, and partially reduce the drain
on the forests of the country besides fur
nishing an equally good and a much
cheaper paper than can now be manu-
featured from wood pulp. - Scientific
