Speaking of the work of airships and trips recently made writer says that Count Zeppelin's spectacu- lar trip along the Rhine valley in his greatest dirigible airship was notable for two things-the ship stayed in the air and thus earned it's right to be called an airship, and It yielded to the will of the navi- gator as a ship should. And the voyage was really a practice scout Of importance to military uses, al, though that this was intended has been denied. It was reported that the dirigible's course as originally laid out was from point on the boundary between Germany and Switzerland to Stuttgart, a place in Germany of no strategic importance; thence to Metz, on the new frontier, where a great battle was fought be- tween the French and Germans in 1870, and from there to Mayence, a region of the Rhine favorable to the crossing of troops. Instead of following this course the airship lowered over the valley of the Rhine where it separates Switzerland from Germany and then turned almost due north, as the Rhine runs, fol- lowing it so closely as to pass di- rectly over the towns and cities on its banks In time of war this would be the service Germany would want an airship scout to perform to see whether the French might be crossing that barrier. The fact that the whole of the valley available for crossing troops was over looked be- tween ' a. m. and 3 D. m. is im> portant on the military side. Count Zeppelin's machine falls distinctly within the lighter than air" clas, and has many of the faults of the balloon which has been under devel- opment for centuries. But in this trip along the Rhine the aeronaut appears to have controlled it admir-. ably, for he skipped no towns on the route and encircled cathedral steeples. If he didn't take the trip originally intended there was meth cd in his variation of the route. Whether the lighter than air" ma chine has possibilities greater than the heavier than air machine is question upon which experts differ, but the flight of Count Zeppelin's airship over the Franco-German frontier was an impressive perform ance. It showed that long distance scouting with free balloons is pos. sible.

NO MORE PHOSsY JAW
White Phosphorous in Match Manu
 facture to be Prohibited.

'" After many years of agitation the use of the deadly white phosphorous in the manufacture of matches is soon to be prohibited. A bill backed by Herbert Gladstone and Herbert Samuel with this object in view was introduced in the house of commons last week, and fuller details of the measure, which was issued from the printers on Saturday, will give satis- faction to the thousands of people employed in this dangerous trade.
 The government action is the in direct result of the Berne labor con- ference of September, 1906, when representatives of France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Denmark and Switz- erland consented to the prohibition, Great Britain withholding her agree ment. As the outcome of a consul tation with the manufacturers the promoters of the bill now before par lament have made 1t possible for less dangerous substitutes for white phos- phorous which are protected by pat ents to be obtained on reasonable terms by all manufacturers.
 The use of poisonous white phos- phorous is not necessary in the busi- ness of matchmaking. Its employ ment. moreover, is highly dangerous to the workpeople, for it gives rise to the painful disease of necrosis of the jaw, commonly known as "phossy jaw" This disease has much the same effect on those attacked by it as that of leprosy, and 1t works the same horrible ravages on the face and hands. 5.-,
 The bill, if it passes into law, will not only forbid the use of white phosphorus in the manufacture. of matches but will also make, it ille- gal for any one to sell or import matches in the making of which white phosphorus has been used.- London Daily Chronicle.

STOCK EXCHANGE SCANDAL.

Unless the governor, of the New
 York stock exchange shall take
 prompt action for the discovery and
 the punishment of any of its mem- bers who may have violated it's rules and regulations in the abominably manipulative trading of last Satur- day forenoon, a violent prejudice against the whole stock trading game" will surely be aroused; and an almost unacceptable result of this would be the appointment of legis- lative investigating committee next winter for probing into the af- fairs of the exchange and at the other New York exchanges; and the drastic legislation that might easily follow would have evil effects that could not be overcome for years. But for the race track betting bill that absorbed legislative attention at Albany last spring, the exchanges would have undoubtedly come in for hostile legislation: Governor Hughes has already plainly intimat- ed that he favors state regulation of stock trading and has in a sense apologized for not going militantly into the matter when he declared not so very long ago that we can't do everything at once-must have one reform" at a time: and the president of the United States does not mince words when he demands that the "grosser forms of stock gambling must sooner or later be prohibited by federal law.
 Incidents like those of Saturday only invite anti-stock trading legis- lation of the most drastic and vicious sort. When 100 share lots ot stock either cannot be traded in at all in the New York markets or only at figures a whole point or so away from the exchange quotations. that isn't a stock market" al all. if is plainly enough a mere gamble for the sole benefit of interests oth- CT than the trading puhIie's interest and the Nev York stock exchange ought 10 be able to uncover and deal with those interests in the severest way within It's pover-and there are others-the outside exchanges and the smaller New York ones have not been sinless-New York Commercial.

People who wonder where all the coal goes to after reading a few fig ures given below will readily see that 1t takes considerable for the city of New York without looking else where. Buildings using the largest quantities of coal are hotels, large office buildings, high grade apart ment houses, department stores. loft buildings used for manufacturing purposes, and factories. In addition there are such buildings as colleges, hospitals and other institutions. This list gives some of the prominent buildings with the amounts of coal consumed per day: Waldorf-As- toria. 100 tons: Hotel Astor, 35 tons; St Regis, 50 tons; Plaza, 30 tons: Hotel Knickerbocker, 30 tons: Hotel Belmont. 35 tons. Here are few office buildings: Singer, 3s tons: Park Row, 26 tons; Broad EX- change. 2s tons; Western Union, 1 5 tons: St Paul, 10 tons: Macy's store, 3s tons; Siegel-COoper. 3s tons; Alt mans. 25 tons: BloOmingdale's. Is tons. The larger apartment houses consume from six to eight tons day. Columbia university burns 2O.- 900 tons annually, the new custom house uses 5000 tons for heating only, the main postofice uses 12.000 tons a year for heat. light and power. St Luke's hospital consumes $500 tons for all purposes

and amounted to only SS6, 400 ,000, compared with $124, ,6OO, ,000 a year ago. This was a shrinkage of $3S.- 200, ,000, or about 30 per cent, due largely to lessened arrivals of dry goods and raw materials for manu- featuring purposes. Exports, mean while, were the smallest since 1904 and fell to $103, 100000, against 12s,500,000 in 1907, loss of s25,- 800, ,0O0, or about 20 per cent. The decline in exports was chiefly in food stuffs. Loss in foreign trade, how ever, was not confined to the United States, but extended to Great Brit ain, France, Germany and other countries, showing the worldwide character of the late depression.
 British imports amounted to $780, 100000 in July, decrease of 10 per cent compared with a year ago, while exports were only $165, 100000, a loss Of 16 per cent. Our own for- eign trade figures left an. excess of exports of s16,S00,OOO, compared with s3,sOO,OOO in 1907 and $s,- 100000 in 1906. For the seven months of July the excess of exports reached s372,000, ,000, against s1sS.000,oOo in 1907 and s,000.- 900 in 1906. So large a credit bal- ance as these figures suggest must of course strengthen our position abroad, and it will be an interesting problem as to how the great balance in our favor will be settled. Or dinarily we should import gold, but we already hold an immense stock of the precious metal. and have not re- turned more than half of what We took from Europe last winter.

The thing a good many people would like to see destroyed is the machine control in politics. People who feel in this way are not all pro- fessional reformers; most of them are nothing of the kind, but the pro- fessional reformers represent this feeling, whether they deserve to or not, and that is what makes them so obnoxious to such as have never been accused of desiring any kind of re- form.-Hartford Times.
