One OF the most ancient and firmly
rooted superstitions of the undergradu-
ate world in many colleges is the fic-
ton that scholarship is not criterion
of a man ability. This is an old lie
that dies hard. College authorities
have never subscribed to it, but a large
proportion of undergraduates firmly be.
heve that the most capable men arc
not the best students-and even that
training in scholarship viii not so inn
prove a man s mind as to give him an
advantage over his fellows in after
life, The Harvard Graduate IS Maya
zine has done a real service, therefore,
in printing the records of Harvard s
best scholars from 1777 to 1877, says
World s Work.
During the first 60 years of that
period general business did not com
pete for educated men with the profess
sions and politics as it does now. Con-
sequently, there were no great business
men among the scholars. There were,
however, five United States senators,
four members of congress who never
became senators, three ministers to for
eign countries not counting two sena-
tors who became ministers to Great
Britain, a United States district court
judge, a justice of a state supreme
court, the chief justice of New Bruins
wick, bishop and four college presi-
dents Certainly this is a remarkable
record for 60 men. But even this re-
cital does not quite do them justice, for
several of them held other important
positions.
The 'first" scholars of the last 40
wears of the period have among them
three railroad presidents, one president
of the Bell Telephone Co., major gen
eral, two justices of state supreme
courts and one judge of United
States district court Twenty-eight of
the 100 'first' scholars reached for
NAL posts of distinction. Certainly no
such proportion of the average accom-
plishment of the members of any of
the clubs which try to pick the best
all-round men show as much ability in
after life as this.
OF course, trained intelligence is
more powerful than unframed intelli-
gence, but even these figures and others
which this same university has col
lected will not entirely convince the
undergraduates, for they see a few
men gain good marks for training their
memories alone and others who are
willing to plod conscientiously for six
hours through a task which should be
done in two, and they rightly discount
this kind of scholarship. But they
overlook the efficient, active thinkers
the men who, in college, are training
the faculties that will make them dis
tinguished later in life.

Captain Won Jarlgarsky, were charged
with conspiring with other persons and
forging a will, with the object of OBJ
tanning for Captain Won Jarlgarsky the

After the jury had deliberated for
five hours a verdict of not guilty was
pronounced in the case of Colonel Won
Jarlgarsky and the remainder of the
accused were declared guilty The cap
tain, whom the jury recommended to
the car mercy, was sentenced to two
years imprisonment, and six of the

MELTS STEEL AWAY
Marvellous Power of New 0xy.
aceteIine Blow-Pipe.
Cuts as Clearly as Saw and Goes
More Quickly Through Inch steel
Than Saw Would Through

Chfcago.-Every day practical
demonstration is being given on the
streets Of new device before the
marvellous pewer OF which steel be-
comes like paper.
The oxysceteline blow-pipe is the
device. 1t is being used to out out
the big steel pillars OF the elevated
loop which are being removed to
make room for through route surface
cara to turn street corners. The proc
sss also is being used in cutting out
old steel piles which interfere with
the work ON the new La Sale street
tunnel.
Thousands of Chicagoans have
watched with amazement the action OF
the tiny blue fame of the hlow-pipe
upon the massive steel Of the elevated
pillars. Before It the steel melts
away. vanishes in gas. 1t cuts as clean
ly as a saw, and goes more quickly
through inch-thick steel than saw
would through soft wood. Inquiry
proved that the marvels of the oxy-
aceteline blow-pipe have been known
to scientists for very few years;
and commercially they are just becom-
ing known.
So far as is known, the device has
never been used for criminal pur-
poses. But experiments have proved
that the flame win cut through the
strongest safe as easily as through the
elevated pillars. Before 1t the most
cunningly devised vault walls become
like paper. Manganese steel, upon
which the hardest drills have no eff
feet, Is pierced with ease by the oxy-
aoeteline flame.
Just why steel melts before the
flame scientists do not know. The
flame is produced by combining pure
oxygen with aceteline gas. The acct

STRIKE IS SERIOUS
PEOPLE OF HULL, ENGLAND,
SAID To BE STARVING
TO DEATH NOW.
Anarchy Is Only Kept Down by Minions
of the Law-No Flour for the Poor
Grim Famine Pinches the Lower
Glasses in the Big Cities of Great
Britain Due to Scarcity of Food.

Hull, England.-Hunger is seriously
aggravating the seamen's strike situa-
ton and the piteous appeals of women
and children for food would have pre-
cipitated before now something akin
to anarchy but for the masses of police
that have been sent here from London
and other cities.
Fieur is SO scarce that the price has
jumped beyond the reach of the poor.
All the Hull flour mills are closed and
efforts are being made to get supplies
from the outside. Police protection is
being promised those who. bring in
food.
Twenty-six grain steamers are due
within the next few days with los, 900
tons of cargo, but there is no means
of discharging it. The railway and dock
traffic is paralyzed.
Business Paralyzed-
Reports from a majority of British
seaports emphasized the growing grav-
ity of the situation created by the
strike in the shipping trade. Unless
a settlement is effected indications point
to a general strike by the members of
the transport workers federation in
sympathy with their seafaring com
rades. AS the membership of the unions
composing the Transport Workers fed
GRAFTON is upward of 100000, decision
on their part to join the ranks of the
strikers would mean one of the greatest
industrial conflicts in which the work
ers of the United-Kingdom have ever
been involved. The great difficulty in
arranging terms appears to be due to
the fact that on neither side is there a
central organization with power to en-
force any agreements that may be
reached by the negotiators.
Later Report.
The end of the shipping strike, which
so far as its international character was
concerned, was a failure from the start,
has been settled
