LONDON, April &c.

LON ttS, ApEii ld.
An effort is to be made to settle once
for ALI the vexed question whether the
ttfe OF tine working man In other lanas IS
Interior TO that of the British worker
A number Of Hampstead residents have
formed Il small committee which Is seek
ing me support OF members OF Parlia-
rnent and others for the purpose or or
ganiztng a tour of Germany TO be maze
nv British working men.
The committee consists OF tariff reform
ers. but their aim is to secure an entirely
impartial body of tourists, and with this
nlan they propose inviting the leading
trade unions to nominate unbiased men
for the trip.
AS the trade unions generally are dorni-
mated by free traders, IL can scarcely be
denied that body OF tourists nominated
by them would be at any rate free from
prejudice IN favor of protectionist sys-
tenn and its results.
After German has been dealt with, 1t Is
proposed TO organize similar tour to
France. and possibly visit to the United
states might be arranged, X sufficient
funds were raised. The views OF the tour
lists would be published In the form OF
leaflets.

PARIS. April %
NJ BertiIIon the world-famons author
OF the anthropome;ricai system, which
has reyolutionized criminal investigation,

In the anthropometrical department OF
the prefecture OF police, surrounded by
hundreds OF elaborate charts, scales and
photographs of types OF different peoples
of the earth, the great criminalist yester-
day afternoon courteously showed the
working of this new machine. It con-
ssts OF two thermometers placed at right
angles, the perpendicular dial registering
the pressure. the horizontal dial repre-
sen,ing the traction.
In the case Of desk being forced. an
identical piece OF wood is taken from q
comprehensive collection of woods which
goes with the machine and is taianiped
into the apparatus, after which the marks
found on the object are reproduced on the
wood, either with the instruments left
behind by the burglar or by similar TOOLS.

eminent.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. April g.

AS soon as the union government gels
to work, 1t will inaugurate some sweep
ing reforms in the management of native
labor on the Rand Mines
These reforms viii take the form not
only of improving the condition of the
native labor employed. but also of an i'm
provement In the methods OF recruiting
The result OF these reforms will be an
enlargement of the area available for re-
cruiting, and consequently an increased
supply of coiored labor for the Mines
AS soon as the reforms come into OPP
GRAFTON. 1t is estimated that quite 60.ooo
natives from Zululand will be available
for work.
The union government will also keep In
mind the necessity OF increasing the i'm
migration of white labor by offering it
Increased facilities for working on the
mines.
But white men are not wanted on the
Rand alone. The union government has
in hand schemes for attracting white set
tiers to 2ther parts OF the union. es-
pecially to Zuluiand.

may be trusted to correct itself. But
If the time comes when 1t needs at
tention, as now and then It surely
will, the last thing that should be
done is to pit class against class, to
rouse the spirit of sectional antagon-
ism, to over-emphasize or exaggerate
the evil, and to intensity it by public
opposition.
Berea's life is too democratic TO
be in great danger of permanent diyi-
sion so long as all who speak for the
college continue the broad, free open
policy of the past. But Berea's door
to the North must swing as easily on
its hinges as the wide open portal
which fronts the mountains. No small
part of the mission of Berea is to
bring together young people from
North and South, and in the happy
phrase of President Frost, efface sec
tional lines by means of the feet Of
those who cross them.
