THE LONGEST FLIGHT.

Another approach to flight in an
aeroplane which would cross the At
lantic, where the ocean is narrowest,
is reported from Europe. The French
aviator, Guillaux, started from the
frontier of Spain and made a con-
tinuous flight to Holland, traversing
more than 1000 miles. He accom-
plished this feat in a few minutes over
twenty-five hours, averaging almost
fifty miles an hour.
There is a point between Brazil and
Africa where the Atlantic is not much
over 1900 miles wide. 1t would re-
quire only a little more than Guillaux's
flight to make a continuous air voyage
from shore to shore. Indeed, the diff
ference would be so small, in COMPARE
son with what he has already done,
that it will be strange if he does not
try the great flight across the ocean
before long-or see some other bird
man. achieve that triumph.
It is still an open question whether
the airship or the aeroplane will be
first to carry a man across the At
lantic, but this latest flight in a
machine looks like
victory for tn smaller and
swifter device

HIGH COST OF MEAT.

1t has become popular to blame
the packers for the high price of
meat, but they as well as the retailer
and the farmer claim they are max
ing little or no money. In seeking
for the cause for the prevailing
schedule of prices, the cost of feed
seems worthy of consideration.
When loin steak could be bought
for Is cents a pound retail, pasture
that was not free could be had for
$1.25 the season the head and corn
could be bought for rs to 35 cents
a busheL Now the same pasture
commands SIS per head per season and
corn sells for SO to so cents.
In the face of these latter prices
there has been a big decline in the
number of cattle in the country and
a falling off in the exports of live
animals and dressed meats. 1t has
been impossible to make pork take
the place of beef owing to the cur
tailment of the supply through the
ravages of hog cholera.
The removal of the tariff from
wool may set the people of this coun-
try to eating mutton.

THE WAR ON DISEASE.

Never in the history of the world
has so large and well equipped an
army been engaged in the war on dis
ease as now.
Save the babiesi" was the cry of
the last decade" "Save the middle
agedi" will be the cry of this. The
real race suicide is not in the insult

maturity and in the inadequate care
and prevention of these diseases.

Institute. Investigations are proceed
ing in several countries. In Boston a
physician has isolated an inorganic
in animals used for experimental pur-
poses, and he has attained some re-
suits in the preparation of a serum
which is an antidote to this poison
and a preventive of cancer.

give their lives to the study of the

is between the death rate and the dol
lar rate. Contribute more money to
the cause of public health and the
death rate will go down. Forty thou

average cost of SIS. 1t would have
cost more to bury them, as the cheap

According to the Washington dis
patches, President Wilson is facing a
dilemma in the matter of appointments
to our foreign posts. 1t is natural and
commendable that he should desire to
place ability above wealth as qualifi-
cation of an ambassador or minister,
but not all of the rich men appointed
in recent years to foreign missions
have been incapable; in fact, some of
them have fulfilled the require entS
of their posts with great distinction,
and we recall no recent international
scandals caused by the inability of
wealthy ambassadors to perform their
diplomatic duties. Granted that We
are not to have a permanent compe-
tent diplomatic corps, a regularly con-
stituted service, it is likely that men
of wealth can be found, if it is neces-
Sary for ambassadors to be wealthy,
who can fill the positions as we'll as
they have been filled. American men
who have wealth are apt also to have
brains.
But the example lately set by our
wealthy ambassadors is not one that
ought to be followed. 1t is not well for
this republic to be represented in for
eign capitals by men who dwell in PAL
aces and give entertainments which
equal in luxury and extravaganza
those of royalty. They are not fifty
representative of the spirit of the
country, of its government, or its peo-
pie. The salaries paid to our ambas-
sadors and ministers are not high,
but they are large enough to provide
respectable homes for sensible per-
sons. They compare very favorab bly,
with the salaries of British ambasSa-
doris, except in the highest posts.
We pay no ambassador $4,000 or
$4,000 yearly, as the British govern
ment does in Washington and ST. Pet
ersburg but Sir Caleb Spring Rice,
who will succeed Mr.. Bryce at Wash
ington, has been content with $3.50
year at Stockholm. Many of the
men in the British diplomatic service
complain that they are i'll paid, but
that is the common complaint when
they are in the complaining mood, of
men in almost every walk of life.
Our diplomatic representative
abroad must manage to get along for
the present on salaries ranging from
$17,5o0 down to $4,000. They cam

No retorted Molly, 'of course you

times it doesn't. Take that gray suit
it; if you had ever looked around
would you have bought that? Didn't
you tell me it was the first thing the
salesman showed you? Catch a wo-

President Wilson will doubtless be
able to find the right men for all the
posts he has to fill, with a little pa
tfence, but it is great pity that all
diplomatic appointments are not made,
for merit only, by promotion from
lower ranks of an efficient and thor
oughly established service. Mean
while there is no necessity for haste
in any of the diplomatic appointm ents.
