In our review the other day Of the
Presidents speech in Congress outlin-
ing his plans for new trust legislation
we said that we must defer comment
upon that portion Of the Presidents
programme which comprised an at
tempt to make definitions OF the scope
of the present antitrust law and to
limit the AREA Of dcbatable ground
under 1t until the proper legislative
bills on the subject were actually intro
duced. The President referred To the
matter only in general terms. and con-
sideratlon of his proposition was abso-
lutely impossible since the proposition
was in no way clearly outlined. The
bill in question was made public yes
terday morning and can now be ex-
amined and discussed.
As We expected, IL is of farcical char
octer. The President has really made
no attempt to define the words re
straint Of trade" and monopoly; and
his failure to do SO is because he Is
n sensible man and in spite Of all his
declarations to the contrary he under
stands that these words have already
been defined by the courts and in the
common understanding ms definitely as
they ever can be. In his enumeration
of the acts which constitute an offence
under the antitrust law the President
starts off with n definition that any
combina ton or agreement between any
two or more persons ito create OF
carry out restrictions IN trade or to
ACQUIRE monopoly in any interstate
trade" Is illegal. This is. In substance
merely repetition Of the terms OF the
present law; n definition by using the
words to be defined. The attempt at a
real definition yanishcs altogether. lr
its succeeding clauses the bill enumer
ates unfair business practices that are
already understood to be prescribed by
law and are no longer used In repu
table business. The clauses add moth
ing 10 prohibitions and condemnation
that are contained in the Sherman law
and have on many occasions been thu
subject of prosecution by the Govern
ment. 1t is for instance, already per
fectly known that 1t Is illegal for ,
manufacturer TO make any agreement
with dealer whereby the dealer bind
himself to sell only that manufactur
er's particular line of goods and TO re
frain from handling in any way tn
goods Of competitors.
1t is extremely difficult TO find in tn
Presidents new antitrust bills any
thing but suyplusage. We notice, how
ever, that the most important anon
the measures suggested by the Pres
dent as advisable are not included 4
the bills whose terms We're publishe
yesterday. There have been no bill
vet introduced referring to the ques
tion of holding companies or To tn
proposal to limit the ownership an
voting power Of stock held by ind
viduals. Measures OF this characte
will he of more far reaching effect I
the business world than any that hav
vet been offered In Congress, and pc,
pie In business must still restrain thei
impatience to know how far the Pre-
idpnt wishes 10 go in this direction.

DALTON'S EXPE ERIMENT.
Showing What Genius Can Do With
Crude Apparatus,

The great English chemist Dalton
was schoolteacher. He worked with
out laboratory and with crude ap-
paratus, mostly made by himself from
simple materials. Here is an example
described in his own words:
"Took an ale glass of conical fig
ure, two and half inches in diameter
and three inches deep; filled 1t with
water that had been standing in the
room and consequently of the tenn
perature OF the air nearly; put the
bulb of the thermometer to the bot
tom of the glass, the scale being out
of the water. Then. having marked
the temperature. put the redhot tip
of the poker half an inch deep in the
water, holding it there steadily for
half minute, and as soon as 1t was
withdrawn dipped the bulb of SEN
sitive thermometer into the water,
when it rose In few seconds to $50
degrees"
He then determined the tempera-
ture of the water at the bottom after
five minutes, after twenty minutes
and after an hour and found that it
rose gradually from AZ to SO degrees
This simple experiment proved that
water has the power to conduct heat,
which had been denied by no less an
authority than Rumford. - Youths

PITY THE POOR LIONS!
Hunters in Africa Actually Kick the
Brutes Out Of Their Way.

Brutes Out Of Their Way.
A globe trotter and hunter, by
name Percy Stanhope. Is an English
man who may or may not have
sense of humor. Here is what he
said in New York recently about lion
hunting in Africa:
''You hear them talk of lion hunt
king of sports. It's a beastly shame
the way they treat the poor beasts.
Why, when | was out In British East
Africa two years ago there was n
movement on foot to punish lion hunt
ers for cruelty to animals. In fact,
they were seriously taking up the
question with the home government.
"The lives of the poor lions are be-
ing made burden to them. ! can re-
member when the lions would como
in out Of the jungle and sit on the
platform OF the railway stations, and
some of those cruel Englishmen actu-
ally booted the beasts out of the way.
Think of 1t, the cruelty of 1t all!
There being no foxes available the
sportsmen ont in those parts have a
habit of stirring up lion and pur.
suing the poor beast with whoops and
yells until it drops dead of exhaustion
and actual fright. The poor beasts
have been so terroriZed that when
they see Il white man they whimper
from fright. This fear shortens the
life of the lions, and unless drastic
steps are taken to put stop to the
cruelty there won't be any OF the an.
imals left in Africa. New York
