Science and Industry.

From the Engineering Magazine.
In the United States superb natural
resources have enabled us to make phe-
nomenal progress without much regard
to the teachings of science, and in many
cases in spite of our neglect Of them.
The progress of Germany warns US that
we have now reached the point where
we must recognize that the proper ap-
plication of science to industry is of vital
importance to the future prosperity Of
the country. Many of our most prom
inent men, and men of most influence in
the country, received their college train
ing before the possibility of such con-
dition was even limited at, and hence they
fail to realize it's seriousness. Our uni
yersities and schools of higher learning
are still dominated by those whose train
Ing was largely literary or classical. and
they utterly fail to realize the difference
between a classical and an Industrial
age This difference is not sentimental,
but reaI for that nation which Is in
dustrially most efficient Will soon become
The richest and most powerful.
If we wish to hold our place In the pro-
cession we must at once accord the scien-
tist the place he is entitled to. and we
must recognize his work and that OF the
engineer by such financial compensation
as will attract our best men. A few
years ago efficiency IN the United States
was a local question; today II IS ma
tional question, and cooperation for its
promotion will not onlv be Of great per-
manent benefit to those cooperating. but
will have great educational effect on
| the nation at large. Cooperation to up
hold or to raise price is seen on all
sides; but it is difficult to find single
case where mere has been any serious
attempt at cooperation to study econo-
mics and to inaugurate them effectively.
Svstematic work in this line would do
more to increase prosperity and to reduce
prices than all other influences combined.
and the result might be accomplished
without decreasing profits Moreover, II
operate for the effecting of economies.
instead of for raising prices. We should
not need so much new legislation TO re-
strain the activities OF our most enter
prising citizens.

Shakespearean Festival.

The Belasco Theater management an
nounces a Shakespearean festival for next
week by the Ben Greet Players. This
decision has been reached because of a
general request for presentations of many
Shakespearean plays. To have devoted
a whole week to one or two at time
would have taken too long, so 1T has been
arranged to present a different play each
night Of next week, with perhaps addi-
tional productions for the usual Wednes-
day and Saturday matinees The com
pany will be strengthened by several
new members who have been with Mr.
Greet before and are familiar with the
repertoire The new members will in
clude Miss Keith Wakeman, who was
last season leading woman for Otis Skin
ner, and formerly with e. S. Willard.
The plays for presentation will be select
ed from the following: Merchant of
Venice" Twelfth Night" Much Ado
About Nothing Tanning of the shrew,'

BLACKMAILING THE PRESS.
Remedy for Victimization of News.

From the London Standard.
The ease with which Matchmaking libel
actions can be brought against newspa-
pers formed the subject OF a speech by
Lord Mersey formerly Sir John Bigham
president of the divorce COURT at the an
nual dinner at the Savoy Hotel or the
London Newspaper Society.
He instanced Mr.. Labouchere as vic
tim Of INSCRIPTIONS actions at law.
"As a result Of the various bad swindles
which he exposed he said, Mr.. La
bouchere was the victim Of endless libe
actions which never should have beer
brought against him, and he has often
spoken to one concerning the possibility
of putting a check to libel actions, which
are really nothing more than systema-
tiZed blackmail.
II know what iures are. They are I'M
stable, liable to be talked over by coun-
sell ard they do perversities, and the
consequence is q great deal of injustice

and on the watch. At the bottom of the
Mettenberg, where the slope is freed from

sistence when their usual feeding grounds
are under deep snow. 1t is a curious
fact that the channels descend to their

little likelihood of avalanches, and return

Abolishing the Tabby Cat.

The tendency Of the present day
among cat fanciers is to do away with
that venerable and domestic species,
the tabby cat Any other sort of cat
will pass. but not the tabby, for those
who take an interest in such matters
prefer the whole color" cat to the
parti-colored animal. The breeder and
the fancier. If not the ordinary house
holder, have declared war on tabby
markings. and are doing their utmost
to breed them out. But the tabby Is a
very persistent type. and do what they
will, the markings remain. 1t Is probably
this very obstinacy Of the race which
lends interest to the attempt to get rid
Of the markings, and a great reward
awaits the successful breeder who can
get rid OF the tabbiness in the silver
