THE END OF A DIPLOMATIC FARCE.

The mediation conference ceyerly arranged for
by Secretary Bryan has virtually ended in farce
Nothing was accomplished by the mediators the stu
alton in Mexico has been changed in the least but
our administration has made square baekdown.
If the protocols anything, they mean that
the United States gives up its contention for the
salute of the flag well satisfaction and repara-
ton for the murder of more than a hundred Ameri-
can citizens in Mexico And this the outcome of the
long palaver at Niagara Falls and the oft-repeated
assurances at Washington that the conference was
proceeding favorably.
In brief the administration is just where it started
But the Mexican Constituencies, who refused to
have anything to do with Mr.. Bryan's amiabe tea
party at Niagara Falls, have not stood still. They
have just taken important city and are about to
take few Huerta strongholds before beginning
their final march the capital The idea of pro-
posing an armstice to Villas victorious legions!
The affairs of Mexico will bessettled by the men
who bear the heat and burden of struggle for con-
stitutional freedom, not by few alien lawyers at
Niagara amateur diplomacy at Washington The
policy of government should now be to lend its
aid the Constituencies and thus shorten
the struggle the end of which in the overthrow of
Huertaism is inevitable.

MORO WATER For NEWARK.

The true source for additional supply of water
for Newark is the Wanaque Valley which Newark
endeavored to secure five years ago, when it was
baked by the East Jersey Water Company and the
State Water Supply Commission. The Board of
Works tried to effect arrangement with Paterson
and Passac for joint supply from this watershed,
and this proposition in some mysterious way
turned into one for the purchase by the muncipali-
ties of the East Jersey plant at Little Falls at price
of millions of dollars, plant which the East Jersey
will be compelled to abandon anyhow
Newark is getting close to its margin of 10000
600 gallons daily. There is a of probably
eight million gallons of well water at Belevle, but
it should still be a reserve. Newark needs more
watershed. It's new supply should come from virgin
from the river at Little Falls where there
is constantly increasing pollution from above.
The people of Newark, proud of their Pequannock
supply do not want to have mixed with it the water
from Little Falls, whether filtered not. And they
smell large job in the proposition to compel the
cities buy the Little Falls plant at enormous
price from their sleepless enemy, the water-snake

A New York Show Place

The collectors office at the custom
house is one of the show places of
New York city. His ornate room was
decorated from designs by Cass Gill
bert. who drew the plans for the Gus
tom house, and viii Guernsey. This
high-ceilinged apartment, with its oak
paneling. mural paintings of Dutch
ships and Colonial scenes, and its
great fireplace, cost upward of $2o,OOO.
The ceiling of raised gold figures on
a purple ground is copy of an old
Italian ceiling, with original figures,
such as fish, tridents, boats and other
appropriate subjects. The big fire.
place with wide hearth and high
mantel shelf is of gray stone. Below
the shelf is inscribed the history of
the first custom house, which stood
on this spot.--New York Sun.

Submarine Motion Photography

a depth of 100 feet. and sharks and
other monsters at their deadly work
all show up with great clearness. II
is remarkable that the photographs
reveal nothing above the surface or
the water. The effect of a picture
of a swimmer is weird if his head and
a portion of his body are out of the
water The face of one looking down
through a water glass can, however,
be photographed from below. 1t will
prove of great interest to biologists
and school children, as well as to the
general public, to learn that the son
of the inventor of the tube fought
a shark twelve feet below the sur
face of the water. He fought single
handed, with only a knife for his
protection, and had neither helmet or
suit of protective material. AS this
fight was successfully photographed
from within the tube, valuable infor-
nation will be secured on the meth
DDS of attacks by sharks.
Tt appears that no cinematosraph
worthy of the name has been taken
by others at more than two or three
feet below the surface of water, 50
that this apparatus is unique, Tor
pictures have been taken with 1t ~
depth of about thirty feet.
As a noted American physicist is
of the opinion that the tube may be
made 1000 feet in length, the device
is of great Importance in many lines
of scientific inquiry in oceanographW
An interesting use will be the loca
ton of treasure ships, many OF which
lie lust outside of harbors. Salvage
operations will be arranged through
mechanical arms with mittens, into
which a man can thrust his arm ana
hand from the interior of the work
chamber This work or salvage
chamber will have many glass ports
and the human arm will be supple
mented by electricity and compressed
air. Naval and merchant vessels
should find the tubes and work
chambers adaptable for inspection Of
hulls and repairs at sea. rather than
seek port to be locked.
The pearl fishery and sponge in,

revolutionary, as some of the best
specimens lie at depths too great for

SALEM'S FIRE CALAMITY.

The appalling calamity by fire at Salem, Mass
yesterday calls for sympathetic and generous aid for
the sufferers, and there is doubt it will given
without stint The calamity appeals particularly
to New England, whose purse should now be opened
wide for the immediate of the unfortunate
population and to enable the impoverished to get on
their feet again.
Salem is a town that belongs to our earliest
colonial history and therefore has peculiar claim
the national interest. There will be financial aid
from outside of New England if needed. The Ameri-
heart, which responds so quickly to the call for
help oversee, is never insepsible to such calls at
home, as the record shows

he had no more trouble after that.
Some of the young men were as big
as the average-sized teacher and
sometimes bigger. Then they were
used to outdoor work and We're as

was up against a hard proposition,
but he had one thing in his favor.

code that governed such cases to use

graded school. There were three
teachers, including the superintendent.
He didn't have to do much teaching.
His principal business was to do the
licking, and l never saw a man who
seemed to me to like his job better
than he did his. He had the finest
assortment of seasoned gads I ever
saw, and for especially aggravated
cases he had a rawhide whip that was
a holy terror. He stood about s feet
and weighed about 220 pounds, and
he wasn't fat at that. l think he
could lift about half a ton, and when
he made the boy strip off his wan
mus and swung that whip he could
make the stoutest heart howl The
other teachers were rather good
hearted and didn't care to see the
scholars beat up, but if they didn't

submarine motion-plcture camera,
recently invented by an American
photographer. has been successfully
employed in securing motion pictures
of marine vegetation and fish IN the
harbor at Nassau. These films VIII
be forwarded to New York, and VIII
be placed on exhibition there ABOUT
the first of July, says United States
Consul w. F. Doty, of Nassau, Ba-
hama Islands.
The apparatus consists of flexible
metallic tube, twenty inches In dlall-
eter. which is composed of a series
IF units or sections, of over Tapping
hinges set in a vertical position,
though the tube may be suspended Ut
anv particular angle. The pressure
of the water bends the joints inward
and causes the hinges to tall doWl-
ward. thus the weight is increased,
the different sections are easily low
cred. and the tube becomes auto
matically poised, even when the toat
! or barge above is being rocked by the
action of the waves. A strong rubber
covering renders the tube imperViouS

through the wellhole of the float or

, To complete the device there IS a
ball shaped terminal chamber at the
! lower end of the tube. In 1t ordl-
nary atmospheric conditions are
maintained, as the upper end of the
tube is always open. and the OPERA

at the larger (outer) end with a glass

The science by which wheat is
shorn of its beard, by which its color
may be changed at random and a
bad quality taken out bodily and re-
placed by one that is more desirable
by which in a word, any qualities de-
sired may be combined in variety,
is strikingly illustrated at the Min
nesota college of agriculture Whera
400 strains representing all the coun-
tries in the world where wheat is
grown, are under cultivation. some
of this wheat came from Russia, some
from China, some from the various
countries of Europe, and some from
the different parts of the United
States. 1t will all be watched closely
as it grows and note will be taken
of the characters that are best suited
to this climate Then by Members
law these characters will be combined
into one variety with the hope OF per-
fecting a variety that is better than
those now grown here.
Professor T. B. Hutchinson is In
charge of the work. 1t is possible, ne
saws, to take a white variety OF wheat
that is a good yielder but not rust
resistant, combine it with poor
vielder that has good rust resistant
qualities and get variety that Is
good yielder and has excellent rust
resistance. If a man has variety
of wheat that has yielding qualities
and is in every way a desirable
wheat except it is white and VIII not
command the market price that RED
wheats will command. he may take
the color from an otherwise poor
variety of red wheat and put 1t on
his white wheat. In that same way

THE PASSING OF THE soHooLMAsTER.

Out of every hundred public school teachers in
this country 10 are women and only 81 men. The
vanishing of the male pedagogue is a process that
has been going for two generations. Even prnci-
palships and superntendencies held by women are
rapidly increasing. The reason is pain-the made
quate pay of the teaching profession A with
brains enough to teach school usually make
twice thrice the money in other business.
And the young woman who takes his place as a rule
accepts the poor compensation because she expects
to remain only a few years and then get married.
Thus it is that the teaching public schools
is constantly changing from male to female

How Wheat Nature Is Changed

inant. and the result is that in the
first generation all the wheat will be
beardless In the second generation
plants of both kinds will appear In
the proportion of three beardless to
on bearded OF those that are beard
less. one-third are pure for beardless-
ness, and will reproduce beardless in
the succeeding generations. Inc
other two-thirds win continue to
break up in the proportion of three
beardless to one bearded. By the
same principle, any character. such
as rust resistance, tallness, color,
may be transferred from one variety
to another.
"MendePs law was discovered in
1865, but nothing was ever done with
il until 1900. when it was redis-
covered. Until the rediscovery of this
law there was comparatively little
known hybrids. It was generally
thought that a cross between two in
dividuals would be a progeny inter
mediate between the two parents.
After Mendels law was discovered 1t
was noted that characters in plants
and animals are inherited indie
pendently of each other, that one
character would be dominant over
another in the first generation, but
that the other characters would APP
pear in the succeeding generations.
"This knowledge has made it pos
sible for breeders to combine char
acters in plants and animals to suit
their own convenience, the methods
of handling livestock which will re-
suit in the highest degree of bene-
fetal use and will minimize the pres
ent waste and destruction of forage
resources; the extent to which regu<'
lated grazing will protect and pro
mote forest growth, and the( char
acter and extent of damage 10 for
ests and watersheds which livestock
may cause, together with means OF
minimizing or preventing such dam
age Material progress has been
made in all of these lines, but much
remains to be-accomplished."

Beatrice d'Este, one of the most Gull
tivated and beautiful women of the
Italian Renaissance, was born June
26, 1475. According to a recent BIZ
ographer she is the type of the new
found joy in life, that intoxicating
rapture in the actual sense of exist
ence. Scholars and poets, painters
and writer's, gallant soldiers ard ac-
tomplished cavaliers, we see them all
at Beatrice's feet seeing how best
they may crafty her tancies and win
her smiles.
Beatrice was married at the age of
sixteen to Ludovico, powerful duke of
Milan, and for the next eight years
she was the centre of attraction in
one of the most luxurious and highly
cultivated courts in Europe. The
greatest Italian artists. Leonardo and
Bramante, decorated palaces to please
her, the great poets wrote sonnets in
her praise, the great musicians com
posed music and constructed organs
