LONDON scHools
In Some Ways the American System,
Though Bigger, is inferior.

London schools have 5S3,255 school
sittings, New York 6S9,959, not all oc-
cupied in either case. London has
5,03S men teachers and 12.4S1 women
to 2,740 men and 1861 women in
New York.
AS these latter figures apparently
include some duplication in evening
schools London's teaching force is pro.
portionately mach stronger. especial
ly in men.
The smaller number of pupils In
London means partly that more of the
children of the moderately well to
do there attend private schools, partly
that the children of the London poor
leave school for work at an earlier
average age.
Though the New York system is
bigger it is behind London in some
! respects, according to the American
Educational Review, That city has
four open air schools sor mentally and
physically defective children, who are
apparently already Well looked after
as they should be in every city.

Brl Game and Disease.

1t has been suggested that the big
game of Africa should be systematSoal-
ly exterminated in order to abolish
the fly fever" by destroying the grin
cipa1 means of nourishmeAt of the
tsetse. An regard to this suggestion.
Sir David Bruce says that while 1t is
true that the tsetse disappears when
the big game is killed of, there are
other African diseases similar bO the
1y disease which are not spreed by
the tsetse. Although -fCivflization
and big game cannot exist together"
ne thinks that the proposed wholesale
destruction all over Africa wWnld be
quite rmjustifiable. AS the new ooun-
try lis divided off into farms, the big
game must CO. but the process should
be a gradual one, applied only as the
exfgencies demand. For at beast a

be room in Africa for big game re-

Illuminating Shells.

Experiments have recently been
made at Toulon with shells intended
to Illuminate the sea at a distance
from the land, thus disclosing the
presence and movements of an enemy
at night. The shells are made to eX-
plode at great height, and to give
light for sufficient time to permit an
examination of the surface of the
sea for several miles from the shore.
The officers in charge of the expert
ments regard the Illuminating shells
as more effective than search-lights in
disclosing the position of hostile ships.
Another form of shell has been
proposed. which shall, in bursting
over the sea, spread a cloud of thick
smoke about the batteries on shore,
thus preventing their seeing the ap-
preaching ships, and rendering the
Illuminating shells useless.

save the production of the immortal
