Through the efforts of Miss Eliza r.
Scidmore, with the cooperation of Mrs.
Taft and the city of Toxic, Japan. two
thousand Japanese cherry trees will lend
their delicate coloring to enhance the
beauty of the river bank in Potomac
Park, Washington city. These cherry
trees are a gift to the American capital
from the mayor of Toxic. They were
carefully selected from different sections
of Japan, and by the spring of 1911 the
drive will present scene of rare beauty
with the many-colored blossoms. Miss
Scidmore is a recognized authority on
japanese cherry trees, and the author
of several books on the far east. Her
early life was spent in Wisconsin, her
mother being a sister of Mrs. Atwood,
wife of Gen. David Atwood, for many
years owner of the State Journal at

New Jersey to Provide One in State
Home for Girls?

I1OuLt lOl GlIlS!
An official spanker or disciplinarian in
the state home for girls in Trenton, y.
j., is provided for in a bill to be intro
duced in the New Jersey Legislature
The managers of the home say corporal
punishment is absolutely necessary in
order to train the inmates properly. If
the measure passes, the official spanker
will receive $1,000 a year. The spanker
will be a woman. She must maintain
certain hours at the institution daily
excepting Sunday. 1t has been decided
that there shall not be any spanking on
the Sabbath. That will give the girls
one day of rest.
One applicant for the spankership was
a man. said to be a prominent merchant
of Camden. Friends of his say on his
behalf that he supposed the spanker was
wanted at an institution for boys.

The turbine engine seems TO be inn
proving rapidly for marine service as n
result of experiments on big ships. Engi-
neering contains review of Il years
performances of the four Dread
naughts" of the British navy which are
equipped with turbine engines, from
which it appears that the average CON
sumption of fuel for each horsepower
developed was only LOO pounds an hour,
as compared with an average consump-
ton of nearly two pounds, or one third
more, by nine of the battleships which
are driven by reciprocating engines.
This is remarkable, us heretofore the
turbines have invariably used more coal
on the average than the reciprocating
engines, 1t is said that the adoption

AS an illustration of the extent Of the
shrinkage in the merchant marine of
the United States in the foreign trade,
Salem, Massachusetts,, reports that the
East Indian Marine Society of that place
has applied for amendment of its char
ter, which now permits membership only
to shipmasters who have doubled Cape
Horn or the Cape of Good Hope. There
are no such shipmasters in Salem, now,
and only one captain is making deep sea
voyages "off soundings." This is inter
esting, but so also is the fact that the
number of captains who are always with
in soundings is tremendously larger than
formerly, because of the phenomenal de-
velopment of the coastwise trade. Uncle
Sam has magnificent merchant ma
rine, but it is not plying over deep wa
ter, on which it can be made service

The trouble in which three West Point
cadets are involved with the authorities
of that institution is the first arising
from hazing which has occurred since
the dismissal last August of the seven
men who were concerned In hazing IN
connection with the Sutton case. The
three men now in trouble are members
of the third class and have been found
guilty Of hazing fourth class men, or
'plebes." 1t is to be hoped that the
authorities at West Point will stand reso-
lutely by their determination to maintain
order and stamp out hazing and that
Congress and the executive will support
them in that policy. Assurance of the
abolition of hazing at West Point and
Annapolis would create a state of mind
in which the abolition of hazlng at other
institutions of higher education would be
easier TO effect.

1t is interesting to note the reason
why the Senate committee on foreign re-
lations decided not TO recommend the
consular reform bill. The intention Of
the trainers of the bill was to write upon
the statute books the way in which the
President shall select appointees to the
diplomatic and consular service. The
committee discovered that under the
Constitution the power of making these
appointments belongs to the executive,
and the legislative department possesses
no authority to direct the manner III
which he shall exercise it.

legislature a bill prohibiting the game as
