HYDROGEN IN COMETS TAIL

Sir: I read in this mornings paper your

ED AMENDMENTS.

Senator Human is right in his OBJ.
jections to amendments that have been
incorporated into the graft inquiry reso-
luton. As that resolution was originally
adopted by the Senate it was broad
enough to satisfy those who desire to see
an honest and thorough housekeeping
at Albany. The changes in it are suited
to keep the legislative committee busy
while preventing it from getting any
where. That one which specifically di-
reefs an inquiry into industrial insur-
ance appears to have no object except
to lead the committee away from other
and more fruitful fields. That one which
permits officials against whom charges
are made before the committee to cross
examine witnesses and to summon wit
nesses and put in a defence is likely to
lead to endless delays, which would prob
ably keep the inquiry from covering the
ground it should cover. The amendment
requiring all charges to be verified upon
knowledge" before being Investigated is
likely to put the sign mo thoroughfare"
on many promising paths of inquiry
AS whole. the resolution has been
distinctly weakened and the prospect Of
a thorough investigation has been great
~ diminished. Every step of this sort
is injurious to the credit of the legis-
lators who take it and to the reputation
Of the Republican party. To hamper
the investigation is TO create the i'm
preston that the legislators have some
thing to fear. Senator Hinman's remarks
about crooks and Weddings shocked
his fellow Senators, but it was only a
foretaste of what the public will say if
there is any retreat from the position
taken in the original resolution.

Senator Hale said yesterday when re-
porting the naval appropriation bill that
the appropriations for 191O-'11 would be
greater than those for 1909-'10. If they
are 1t will be queer tribute to the eff

Much controversy has arisen over the
question whether German settlers in
British South Africa should become nat
uraiized British subjects The "Deutsche
Zeitung fir Sidafrika." at Cape Town.
argues that they should do SO, in order
10 be able to vote for the promotion Of
German interests in South Africa. while
the Hamburger Nachrichten" protests
against it as treason to the Fatherland
and says that Germany has. already suf-
fered enough from the readiness of Ger
mans to obliterate their German ma
tionality and to become citizens of the
lands in which they settle. Neither of
these contentious seems altogether COM
mendable. Men who become naturalized
ought not to do so for the sake of aid
ing the old country, perhaps at the ex-
pense Of the new, but rather to stand
for the new, even against the old. AS
for the readiness of Germans-for exam
pie, in America-to become naturalized,
that is one of the characteristics which
have made them welcome and highly
priced immigrants. No country wants
to have a large unnaturalized alien ele-
ment, but neither does any want an eie-
ment nominally naturalized, but at heart
still giving chief allegiance to their for
mer land.

gold lace, and more fur on his burly
body, and a row of orders of chiyalry
on his breast?
The pursemaker stood erect and hap
Ply. He beamed as carriages with men
in scarlet livery flashed past. The gaudy
show, lighted up by a blazing June sun,
filled him with joy. In his pocket was
his offering, quite complete; for in the
remaining compartment was a little tube
of glass, so thin that the slightest jar
would suffice to break it.
There was stir. A band of soldiers,
clad in quaint uniforms and mounted on
black horses, passed. The crowd swayed
as each member of it endeavored to get
better view of what was passing. Peo-
pie closed up. He felt himself uncom-
fortably pressed upon. He put his hand
to his pocket, and he swore gently. The
pocl<etbook had disappeared! 1t was the
sort of thing that might have happened
to anyone in such crowd.
Instinctively, hardly realizing what he
was doing, he elbowed his way back
through the throng, and thereby he at
once became unpopular. Sarcastic re-
marks were poured out upon him, but he
took little notice.
He shook himself free, and then he
realized that he was not the only one
who was leaving the street, with all its
attractions. A young man was hurry
ing away, as though he had business of
Importance to attend to. He followed
the young man The stranger turned
down side street; then. looking round,
he did foolish thing. He began to run.
1t is suspicious to look over ones shout
der and then begin to run in London.
"Ah!" muttered the pursemaker.
Now this is interesting!"
He quiekened his pace, but he did not
run Apparently, he wished, not to cap
ture the other but to keep him in view.
The young man had done one foolish
thing, in beginning to run. Now he did
another still more foolish thing. He
turned his head as he ran, and so failed
to see where he was going.
He slipped, as he might have expected.
He tried to save himself, but failed. He
fell headlong, with violence, and imme-
diately that side street was shaken by
a terrific explosion, so that most of the
windows We're smashed into small pieces
while where that young man had fallen
there was now a great ragged hole in
the ground.
The pursemaker staggered back, but
he did not fall, He had been some way
behind, and he had been prepared, He
was not surprised at the catastrophe
but he was sadly disappointed.
Only a little rogue, after all" he
muttered "The big one has got off >

The Center of Population.

One of the subjects of speculation in
census years relates to the probable ex-
tent of the westward movement of the
center of population. For a time this
was very fast; lately it has been some
what slow.
At the time of the first census the center
of population was twenty three miles
east of Baltimore. 1t has been travel
ing westward with each decade. In 1900
it was located near Columbus, Ind,
about forty miles south of Indianapolis.
In 1890 it was twenty-siX miles farther
east and in the two previous decades it
had kept rather near to Cincinnati. With
each decade it has moved Il little farther
west, but has continued to keep very
close to the thirty-ninth parallel, the lati-
tude approximately of Baltimore and
Cincinnati
The effect of the ingress of settlers to
Oklahoma during the past decade will
carry the point a little to the south. but
its movement in any direction since
1900 is not expected to be great. for
while the West has been growing the
East has not been standing still The
tendency of population to cluster in the
great cities shows no sign of ahating
OF the twelve largest cities in the United
States, by the census of 1900. eight were
east of the center of population The
prodigiouS growth of New York city
alone will almost balance the develop
ment and settlement of new areas in tile

the same thing seems to be true in many
cases of fruit trees which were in bios
som at the time of the blizzard.
There is always danger of injury to
orchards from storms or low tempera-
ture while the trees are in bloom As
fruit-growing develops in the West it is
conducted more and more in accordance
with business principles. Iowa fruit
growers are now equipping themselves
with fire-pots for burning crude oil to
create smudge which will blanket their
trees and save them from frost One Of
the largest fruit raisers in that state, f.
L. Spencer of Randolph, had an unsats-
factory experience in the late frost. He
had invested a thousand dollars in fire
hard, and the fire-pots, which burn for
in the evening and the other half at
A. NJ. 1t is feared that the smoke did
not save Mr.. Spencer's fruit. He says
the temperature fell to 20 degrees at 9
in the evening, rose to 80 at midnight,
and dropped to "a toward morning. He
thinks in the first place that about
seven hundred of his thousand
1ire-pots are defective. He also thinks
that he spread out too thin in under
taking to make a thousand fire-pOts do
for forty-three acres of trees Now he
is sorry that he did not concentrate the
fire-pots on a fourth of the space, and
light all of them at once. Other Iowa
fruit-growers who have tried fre-pots
feel assured of their efficiency, and as
sert that they saved thousands of dollars
on the night of the blizzard.

Emperor Williams praise of American
students for their abstemiousness as to
ca ting and drinking, particularly as to
the latter indulgence is accompanied by
"a declaration that German students must
be taught to restrain themselves during
their years of study. There will be diff
fculty in following the Emperor's recon-
mendation at the outset, because drink
ing bouts" and drink 'duels' are ira
ditions of student life so strongly in
grained that the practices are actually
cultivated. Many graduates Of German
universities carry from the institutions
habits which unfit them for usefulness,
and others have faces SCARED by sword
wounds received in duels. This must be
'cut out" if German students desire
to reach the plane upon which the
American student is receiving the EN-
peror's admiration.
