ZEPPELIN.

1t begins to look as if Count Yep
pelin is to figure among the great
men of the century; as if he will mas.
ter the deep problems OF aerial navi-
cation and put forward the practical
thing that shall stand for the initial
solution and demonstration of trans
portation of people and cargoes for
commercial ends.
For long years, for close upon half
century, he has been devoted stu
dent of the science, meeting failure
after failure with calmness and reso-
luton, forging ahead slowly, yet
surely, to the one aim and end; sub
jecting his purse and person to the
inexorable demands of the situation,
with bravery essentially fine and
now, promisingly, sure.
The people OF today have become
so intimate with marvels, so Injured
tc change and the extremes Of change
that they half fail to appreciate the
tremendous things that are being
wrought about them, and take the
wonderful access with dispassion-
ate serenity approaching actual in
difference. But this is not to be con
strued as apathy; they are very much
alive to the successes of the day and
appreciate them profoundly, but are
so familiar with the long-drawn fail
ures and the consequent coaching
they get in the public prints, on the
art, or science, or industrial scheme,
that they grow neutral to everything
save the eliminating triumph.
The world awaits the development
of this great science with eager and
hopeful interest 1t should revolu-
tionize the land and sea systems of
travel and transport and relieve the
strain and congestion with all their /
attendant rigors Of rates and discom-
fort, and develop new avenues of |
competition that should contribute TO |
the abatement of the cost of living. /

Count Zeppelin ought to live to
realize handsomely upon the splendid
ardor and ingenuity he has given to

JACKSON REID.

The childish brain Of Portlands in
fant murderer is charged with con-
ception of the real significance and
horror of the deed he has done and his
budding life is wrought and warped
to lines of misery and despair un-
bearable even by the harder faculty
of the adult 1t is pitiably sad, but
we doubt if the burden is much
greater than that borne by those who
mourn the dead man. The whole af-
fair is infinitely troublous to all con-
cerned, not excepting the officers of
the law, because of the extraordinary
elements injected by reason the ex-
treme youth of the slayer. The
problem of properly disposing Of the
case with equal justice to all sets up
exactions that must be met all along
the line Of procedure and calls for
exceeding care on the part Of the ad-
ministrators Of the law, wno, incl
dentally, must conserve the best in
terests of society.
The case at bar raises the issue of
supplying the juvenile court with an
adequate prison of its own. 1t is
against all public policy to send this
child to the penitentiary to be reared
with the scum of barred humanity;
we should see to it that the juvenile
administration is equipped with some
thing beside court and code, penal
resort on par with the provisions
surrounding the detection and treat
ment of childish criminals, and this
by the earliest legislative action to be
had. So far as the juvenile court work
has been carried on at Portland, it
is proven eficacious and admirable in
many ways, and may be perfected by |
arranging for the adequate incarcera-
ton Of the delinquent youngsters un-
der regimen proportioned to the

FRUIT FRAUDS.

Astoria lies at tangent from all
sources OF supply, including the fruit
orchards of the coast, and is helpless
against the impositions thrust upon
her by the wholesalers patronized by
her merchants Through those mer-
chants alone, for the time being, is
any relief to come. AS body they
can demand better grades of fruit,
even if they cannot summon courage
to charge any higher prices for it.
They owe something to the patrons
who makes and maintain their busi-
nesses. and we have the right to bet
ter treatment in this particular.
Clatsop needs more fruit orchards
OF her own to counteract the rank
prescription now prevailing, and that
takes time; we have only the mer-
chants to look to, and the appeal
should not be in vain. Fruit famine
were a better expedient to use per-
haps; but fruit at this eason has its
temptations, keen and strong, and
few there are who can resist the pur-
chase of the commodity, even if it is
not of the proper quality. We there
fore invoke the friendly concern of
the men here who deal in this stuff
to see to it that we get something
beside the green or past-ripe goods
now handled; and if this cannot be
done, then we move for communal
strike against the retail purchase of
any fruit whatever, save that which
may come to us fresh and wholesome
by any other agency whatever. We
are entitled to better goods and
cheaper prices in a commodity that
is richly profuse all over the Pacific
Coast.

A CHEMICAL FURY.
Fiuorine Is q Rabid Gas That Nothing
Can Resist.

The fury of the chemical world is
the element fluorine, although, strange.
ly enough, II exists peacefully in COM
pany with calcium In fiuorspar and
also In a few other compounds.
Although this element was known
and named good while ago, 1t long
resisted the efforts Of chemists to iso-
late it-that is, prepare It In a pure
state, unmixed chemically with other
substances-for the instant the com.
pound containing It was torn apart
the free fluorine attacked and combined
with whatever substance composed the
vessel containing 1t. 1t was finally
isolated by the great French chemist
M0issan.
Fluorlne is a rabid gas that nothing
can resist 1t combines with all met
ais, exploslvely with some, or II they
are already combined with some other
nonmetallic element 1t mercllessly
tears them away from it and takes
them to itself.
In uniting with sodium, potassium,
calcium, magnesium and aluminium
the metals become heated, even to red
ness by the fervor Of Its embrace.
Iron filings slightly warm burst into
brilliant scintilIations when exposed to
1t. Manganese does the same. Even
the noble metals, which at melting
heat proudly resist the fascinations of
oxygen, succumb to this chemical siren
at moderate temperatures.
Glass is devoured at once and water
ceases to be water by contact with this
gas, which, combined with Its hydro.
gen, at the same moment forms the
acrid, glass dissolving hydrofuoric acid
and liberates ozone.
Even hydrofuoric acid eats into and
destroys every known substance ex-
cept platinum and lead-Exchange.

Glaoiara.

1t has been demonstrated that the
glacier does not move In one block,
but flows, accommodating itself to the
channel in which 1t moves. Professor
Tyndall planted a row of sticks in a
straight line across glacier, and after
a few days the line had become a
crescent, with the concavity upward,
showing that the middle Of the glacier
moved faster than the sides, just as In
a river the stream is stronger in the
center.
