AN ARCTIC PIONEER.

The death of Rear Admiral George Wallace
MELVILLE in the seveny-second year of his age, is
matter Of deep regret to the large circle of his
warm personal friends and the larger number of his
fellow -countrymen who esteemed him for his bril-
liant record of service in the frozen north
To an earlier generation the ill-fated jeanette
expedition stood out type of the mystery and
terror of the Arctic regions Under command Of
Lieutenant De Long, with Melville engineer in
charge the pIucky Jeanette in 1879, had started in
its search for the open polar sea which, from Hud
son to Sir John Franklin, had lured so many daring
explorers to their doom. Twenty expeditions to
learn the fate of Franklin had chiefly served to
bring home to US the difficulties and dangers of Arc
tic exploration.
When the Jeanette was finally crushed in the
ice it was Engineer Melville who took command Of
one half the crew, leaving De Long in command of
the other, and succeeded in making his way to civ
izaton in Siberia His return journey to learn def
ntey the fate of De Long furnishes one of the most
thrilling chapters in Arctic history
He bore a conspicuous part in the civil war
and as engineer-in-chief of the navy brought the
service to a high degree of efficiency. Although
in his seventy-second year he was remarkably vigor-
Gus up to the time of his last illness, and his death
comes as a shock to his many friends
The deeper the probe goes into the Ray case the
more offensive it becomes. When high officer in
the army confesses with shame and regret the part
he has played in shielding this political favorite of
the Administration, it is about time for the Admins
tration itself make clean breast admit the great
wrong that has been done and wind up the scandal
by riddng the service of man who has dsgraced it.
The employment of the Boy Scouts in cutting
down the underground in Rock Greek Park will give
them valuable exercise along the very line for which
the organization is peculiarly fitted, and at the same
time will be genuine service to the District.
The hunt in the Blue Ridge mountains al
most succeeded in dstracting public attention for
time from that fercer contest which is going on ir
the neighborhoOd of Charlottesville.
The Delaware peach crop is set at 40 per cent
But then nobody ever saw a full crop of anything

COMMERCE MEASURES REPORT.

Our friend, Judge Sims, of Tennessee, is en-
titled to acknowledgements by reason of the action
of the House Interstate Commerce Committee in
reporting his bill to reorganze court procedure in
appeals from decisions of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Judge Sims introduced the bill at the
beginning of the session, and great pressure was
brought to bear to prevent favorable report Judge
Sims was alone in his struggle to get it out, until
The Times casually called attention to the remark
able fact that the Democratic House seemed pre-
pared absolutely to reverse itself on this important
question. Since then things have been coming bet
ter The bill has been reported, is on the calendar,
and is seemingly certain of the support of all the
Democrats, all the progressive Republicans, and a
considerable number who are not always denomi-
mated as progressveS.
Judge Sims has made this fight all alone, and
with a good deal of political power being exerted
against him sub that would never have dared
demonstrate itself in the daylight. just in proper
ton as the present tribunal for interstate
appeals has shown itself disposed to prevent any
possible efficacy of the Federal regulation of car.

Stone Microbes.

The decay of building stones, ao-
cording to more than one authority, is
not due to wind action or other sur
face influence, but to internal disin-
tegration resembling wood rot, and
this Is ascribed by some to a low
organism like the fungi and the molds
that cause the decay of vegetable sub
stances.
A cure has been found for the stone
disease, or at least a form Of treat
ment that diminishes its ravages. The
stones are treated with germicides,
the best of which appears to be a mix.
