KEEPING UP THE SLAUGHTER.

A few days ago we commented upon the re-
voting and altogether profitless sacrifice Of life
In the automobile races at indianapolis and ex-
pressed the fear that il might soon be ignored.
and that in another year similar races might be
held with danger Of similar results We regret
TO say that our forebodings have proved TO have
been too optimistic. Instead of q wear. only n
week elapsed before another speed contest led TO
another slaughter
The tragedy at Brighton Beach however diff
Tered materially from that at INDIANAPOLIS. at
least in its Immediate sequence We were told
that at indianapolis the fatal disaster had a
SOLDERING effect upon the spectators and partici-
pants. That does not appear TO have been the
case at Brighton Beach. Here in the metropolis
we are more advanced than the people i'm the
hoosler capital. There was no gloom AT Brighton
but only little annoyance and impatience that
the races should be interrupted for so much as a
moment by mere manslaughter. The ready order
or the day was TO drag out the dead and go on
With the sport; just as they used TO remove the
slain and spread clean sand over the blood stains
IN the arena.
1t should not take many repetltlons OF this
sort OF thing TO raise acutely the question
whether automobile racing should not be forbid
den by law, along with prizefghtng buIlfghtine
duelling and other brutal and dangerous prac-
tees which were once common Meantime tbera
is CLEAN Of hope for sanity in the prospect M
grand jury action in the Indianapolis case In
dictment OF racetrack proprietors or race manag-
ers for manslaughter might ENCOURAGE tha
others"

Joining monastery was the greatest institution OF
its kind in India. This splendid structure was
destroyed by the invasion OF Mahmud of Ghazni
so completely that its very site lost and for
gotten. But the Chinese pilgrim Hieun Tsang
had visited il long before its destruction and in
his writings mentioned the exact distance and
direction of il from certain natural landmarks
among the hills, and these latter were identified
by Mr.. Foucher. and the supposed site of the
temple was thus indicated.
Excavations have now proved that Mr.. Fou-
cherS calculations were correct Under huge
mound lying east of Peshawar have been found
the remains OF a splendid pagoda exactly CORE
spending with the minute description given cen
turtles ago by the Chinese pilgrims. Among these
was found the usual relic chamber, and in it was
found Il metal casket bearing the Kharosthi in
scriptiOn. Homage of the teachers of the Sar-
vasivadn sect" and the signature of one Agesi-
laus, who was the Greek maker of the casket
and master builder of the monastery. Within
the casket was a rock crystal reliquary, contain
ing three small fragments of human bones. Now
the Sarvasvadin sect is known to have received
and conveyed to the north portion of the
mains Of Gautama, and 1t therefore is a slffi-
GENTLY safe assumption that these bits of bone
were part of his body.
What disposition will be made of the relics.
which millions of devoted believers will regard
as sacred. is not yet indicated. reputed tooth
of Gautama is enshrined in a temple at Randy,
and is venerated by all devout Buddhists and
surely these bones will receive no less regard.
AS a confirmation of the sometimes disputed his
tory of Gautama and also of the accuracy of the
narratives of Hieun Tsang and other ancient
writer's the discovery must appeal very strongly
10 the grateful interest of the entire scientific
world.

BOLD FLIGHTS WITH AERoPLANES-

The chief honOrs at Rheims last week were
carried on by the English aviator, Henry Far
man, and Glenn II. Curtiss. an American The
former, with a machine differing little from the
one he brought 10 the United States for ex-
Inhibition last summer. demonstrated his ability
10 remain in motion 3 hours and about ID
minutes, travelling in that interval lls miles.
The latter distinguished himself by deyeloping
a speed Of 4765 miles an hour in a flight Of
l2.42 miles
Months will probably elapse before these rec
ords are broken. though the ease with which
the performances referred TO can be SURPASSED
is only too obvious. The duration of an aerial
Journey is essentially matter of fuel SUNNY
Mhour Wright recently remarked that he and
his brother were confident that they could make
an aeroplane capable OF carrying enough gaso-
iene TO stay aloft twenty-four hours. The
Wrghts usually know what they are talking
about, and If they should receive an order "a
build machine qualified 10 fulfil this REQUIRE
me- there can be little doubt that they would
snake good
Everything considered, perhaps II is remark
able that Mr.. Curtiss did not do better His
aeroplane few only trihe faster than the one
built by the Wrights for the United States
army, AND tested three or four weeks ago. The
Wright machine twice traversed a fye-mile
course at the rate Of 421A miles an hour. and
out Tor an error In turning too far beyond the
limit II Is believed that the speed would have
been "a or 45 miles. 1t should be remembered.
In comparing the two flights. that the aeroplane
constructed by the Dayton inventors was hu,,t
considerably more than a year ago and baa
most OF It's ui;ss In September last. Owing 10
an accident the final tests at Fort Nver zrora
postponed until this summer. The Curtiss ma
chine is much newer, a Circumstance not with
out significance. In view OF the rapid deyelop.
ment OF this type OF airship in the last two
years. Besides, the Wrights evidently aimed
merely 10 comply with the terms OF their con-
tract with the government which called for 8
speed Of 20 miles only. When there is a demand

THE SUNDAY POWDY.

Police Commissioner Bakers campaign to end
Sunday rowdyism on the transportation lines de-
serves the heartiest public support Disorder on
the ears is n crying evil. 1t has married the
pleasure of thousands of New Workers intent on
getting fresh air and relaxation by trips to the
shore the parks or the suburbs Sunday traffic
on all lines is congested. There are many weari-
some waits and seldom seats enough to go
around. The enjoyment of an outing is lessened
enough by the ordinary hardships of travel in
overcrowded conveyances. Put when to these
are added the rudeness, vulgarity and violence
Of youthful ruffians often more or less intoxi-
Gated, who find outlet for their disorderly in
stincts in annoying and terrorizing their fellow
passengers the situation becomes intolerable.
New YOrks stay-at-home population is entitled
TO more consideration. Its little Sunday outings
are OF immense benefit. Women and children es-
cape for day from crowded homes aud see
little Of the freer life outdoors. They are the
chief sufferers from a system which tolerates
rowdylsm on transportation lines. So chronic
and rampant has disorder become that the
guards trains and the employees on ferryboats
have preferred TO shut their eyes TO IT, fearing
trouble and Injury il they tried 10 suppress IT,
The strong hand of the police was needed 10
teach lesson In decency, and Commissioner
Baker has seized an opportunity to do the com
munity a valuable service. The magistrates
courts are also showing disposition 70 back him
up, and we trust that no foolish lenity will be
shown from now on TO offenders who trample on
the rights Of others and so grossly dlscredt New
YOrk's public manners. II is high time TO sup
press a nuisance which has made travel here on
Sunday unnecessarily uncomfortable and dan
gerous
