A Trauedy In Wrjtinu,

Illegible handwriting, which has CIV
en- rise to so many comedies, led to
a tragedy in the case Of Bacher, a
musical enthusiast of the last century
who devoted several years to the COM
position Of history Of Viennese mu-
sic. His task finished, he submitted
the manuscript to the Austrian i'm
perial academy, which he had been led
to believe would defray the cost Of its
publication. After three months his
manuscript was returned. Despite
their best efforts the members had
been unable to decfpher 1t. Bacher
then endeavored to have his work
copied, but every professional copyist
who undertook the task had to confess
himself bafiled. He thereupon at
tempted debating the work, only to
find that even he could not decipher
it, and, heartbroken at the discovery
that his years of toll had proved fruit
less, he attempted suicide and finished
his days in lunatic asylum.

SEA CHART ERRORS.
Grave Mistakes Discovered by the

Grave Mistakes Discovered by the
Nonmagnetic Yacht Carnegie.
Errors in navigation charts which
are of immense Importance to all ship
ping interests on the Atlantic ocean
have been discovered between Ma
deira and Bermuda by the scientific
staff Of the yacht Carnegie, which is
making magnetic survey Of the
ocean for the Carnegie institution Of
Washington.
Reports to DR.. L. A. Bauer tell OF
the discovery that some Of the charts
now in use are 2 and 3 degrees out
of the way. The errors are even great
er than those found on the yachts
trip from New York to England.
The discovery Of these errors, which
has been possible only with nom
magnetic yacht built especially for the
purpose, makes it possible to reduce
even further the time of passage Of
the Atlantic liners, as the use of the
corrected charts will insure true
tourse, which is not now entirely pos
llble.

The Code of Hammurabi.

The so called "code of Hammurabi'
was brought to light during the exca-
vations on the site of Babylon and is
looked upon as being one Of the very
Oldest If not the oldest Of all known
records. 1t is believed to be at least
1000 years older than the Mosaic law.
King Hammurabi reigned over Baby
lon abont the year 230O 3. c., and the
laws he inscribed on the clay tablets
for the most part no doubt long ante
date that time. The Mosaic law is
supposed to have been given to Israel
about 1900 Is. c., and it would appear,
therefore, that the Hammurabi code
has the much greater antiquity.-New

huS iouS DeeH Salu tnat the weak
est point in American institutions
i is the government of our cities.
While this charge has been made
by our critics, it will scarcely be de-
MED by our friends. 1t Is to obviate
this very weakness that the plan of
municipal government by commission
is being adopted. Approximately sew
enty-hve American cities have now put
In operation the new method, and, In
the main, the results have been highly
satisfactory. AS important a munich
patty as Buffalo is now taking steps
TO apply the commission system.
The commission plan had its origin
In Galveston, Tex, just after the big
flood. This calamity was so stagger-
Ing that the former city government
admitted itself unequal to the task of
rebuilding the city and erecting the
sea wall for its future protection. One
councilman proposed that he and all
his associates resign, which suggestion
was followed. Five commissioners
were then elected who were business
men and not politicians, and each of
these men was placed at the head of
department Of the city government
This was approximately ten years ago,
and the new system, which came to
be known as the Galveston plan,
worked so well that other Texas cities
adopted it, and from there 1t spread
rapidly throughout the nation. Thus
the tidal wave which swept over Gal
weston started another tidal wave
which is sweeping the country. 1t
is one Of the traits Of the American
people to turn disasters into blessings,
and there Is perhaps no finer example
Of good growing out Of seeming evil

The Des Moines Plan.

The Des Moines Plan.
The latest and most up to date form
of municipal government by commits
sion Is an improvement on the Calves
ton idea and is known as the Des
Moines plan. 1t provides for the cleo
ton of five commissioners, one of whom
is mayor, and in this respect Is prac-
tically identical with the method in
use in the Texas city. The row fea-
lures are the initiative, referendum and
recall. A certain percentage of citizens
may initiate legislation, all public fran
chises except those of a minor char
acter must be submitted to popular
vote, and if officials do not behave
themselves the people may vote them
out Of office just as they voted them
in. The Des Moines plan has now
been In force nearly two years and
has aroused the interest of many cities
In Des Mones the commissioners
are called councilmen. They are elect
ed at large. First Is held a primary,
in which twice as many candidates are
placed In nomination as there are
pisces to be filed Then several
mcMths are given the citizens to scan
these candidates, after which the reg
ular election occurs. No-party desig-
nations are placed opposite the names
of candidates on the ballot. The aim
is to make the issue one Of personal
fitness alone. In the case of the may
or the ballot contains directions to
"vote for one" and in that of the coun-
cilmen to vote for four" These are
the only elective officers Of the city,
and full responsibility is concentrated
In their hands. Other officials are cho-
sen by the council through means of
rigid civil service examinations. AS
