revive our own home markets. This process has
necessarily been slow, and is yet far from COM

the full benefits.
Few will stop to quarrel with the Presidents
assertion that enterprise has been checked in
this country for almost twenty years because
men were moving amongst mass of interroga-
ton points They did not know what was going
to happen to them" 1t will occur to the business
men of the country, however, that the origin of
the condition he describes was of much more
recent date.

Presidents Cheering Words.

at seems to me that | can say with a good
deal of confidence that upon the eve of a
new era of enterprise and prosperity" In these
words President Wilson, at the conference of the
American Electric Railway Association, in this
city yesterday gave the signal to commerce and
industry to take off the brakes and open the
throttle. The President confirms the information
coming from every quarter of increasing business
activity For many weeks past we have been SELL
ing our products abroad in enormous quantities,
and more recently the farmer and planter have
been prohting from greatly increased prices for
grain and cotton. The result must inevitably be
to stimulate industries, increase the purchas-
ing power OF the people of this country and thus

two cadetships at the Annapolis Naval Academy

which they will be received; and the physical ex-
animation takes place the following Thursday.

petition for these positions-or has been in the
past-young men being quite willing to leave their
homes and travel across the continent to embark
on a naval career. Here, almost at the gates OF

the time the Secretary OF the Navy. and
he detailed Capt. Theodore Frederick
Kane. of the United States navy. to in
yestiGate and make report. Capt. Kane
made an exhaustive investigation, and
his report to Secretary Herbert contained
full and detailed history of the or
ganlzation Of the Veterans Corps Of the
Artillery Of New York City. Capt. Kane
found that the organization had been in
continuous existence since it was formed
In the city Of New York in 1870, and that
II had been mustered into the service Of
the United States in 1872 and 1914. He
reported also that its officers take the
constitutional oath of office, which is
MED in the adjutant generals office at
Albany and that the adjutaHt general of
the State of New York is by law the
Inspector OF the corps. Capt Kane's
report without any modification, fully
supported the attitude taken by the or.
ganization as to its relation 20 the or
ganized militia Of the United States. In
1896, Stephen II. OIin. assistant adjutant
general Of New York State. reported to
the adjutant general. respecting the Vet
eran Corps OF Artillery. in substance the
same as Capt. Kane, Of the United States
navy, had reported earlier to the Secre-
tary of the Navy. Mr.. Herbert.
VIII Resist Elimination.
In general principle what is true of the
Veteran Corps Of Artillery in these matters
is also true Of the eight other historic
military organizations. Should there be
an attempt to eliminate section of the
militia bill now before Congress, it is
certain that that would be resisted upon
the floor Of the House by. certainly, the
Representatives from Rhode Island, Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut, and proba bly,
the rest of New England, and also by
the Representatives from New York and
Pennsylvania; and it is very probable, in
view OF the strong sentiment in the
Southern States respecting historic mill
tary organizations and their appropriate
relation to the organized militia, that the
Representatives of these States would op-
pose any attempt to destroy the relation
OF these historic organizations to the or
ganized militia of the United States.
In concluding this review, il may be
worth while to say that. in a report made
by the Adjutant General of the United
States Army, under date Of November q,
1906, and submitted to Congress by
William Howard Taft, then Secretary of
War, the Veteran Corps Of Artillery was
reported as one Of the ancient chartered
comprehended under sec
tion 3 OF the act of Congress, approved
January q, 1903, existing in any of the
States at the time Of the passing of the
act of May 8, 1872, which have been IN
continuous existence since the passage of
said act under its provisions 1625-l650 in
elusive. title Is of the Revised Statutes.
and entitled to retain their accustomed
privileges. subject nevertheless to all
other duties required by law in like man
ner as the other militia" This report
made by Mr.. Taft certainly contains at
least an implied acknowledgment of the
propriety and legality of the recognition
Of this historic organization as a part Of
the organized part of the militia of the
United States.

The nine historic military organizations
of the United States which would be
affected and very likely disbanded in
case section > of the national militia law
were eliminated in the new bill are
these:
First The Ancient and Honorable Ar
tiIlery Company of Massachusetts, Bos-
ton. This organization stands first on the
list, so far as its historical relation to
militia service is concerned. 1t was or
ganized only eighteen years after the
Pilgrims made their landing at Plymouth
Rock. 1t has remained an active organ
ization from 1858 until the present time.
In I74s there was organized at Newport,
r. l., the Newport Artillery Company.
which has maintained unbroken existence
from that time to the present, and, as
an organization. it took honorable part
in the war of the Revolution. In the
same year. at Providence, r. l., the
United Train OF Artillery was organized.
and 1t has maintained unbroken existence
from that day to this. 1t also was OF
most valuable service at the time of the
Revolutionary war.
In Connecticut there are two historic
military organizations. due to the fact
that Hartford was one Of the capitals
of Connecticut Colony. and New Haven
another capital. The First Company.

CONSUMPTION of Gasoline.

In estimating consumption of gaso-
line statisticians usually figure con-
sumption by motor owners as the prin-
cipal demand on refiner: and lump
other consumption as not of great i'm
portance However, President Brace
of the National Association of Dyers
and Cleaners, recently called atten-
ton to the great amount of gasoline
used by cleaning establishments. he
says that the annual consumption OF
gasoline for this purpose in the Uni
ted States exceeds 100000 gallons
and is increasing all the time. Clean
ers, according to Mr.. Brace, use gaso-
line as laundries do water, and in fig-
uring on the consumption Of gasoline
in this country he says the statisti'
clans must not forget the great de
mands made on the refners by the
cleaners.-Wall Street Journal.

DIFFER ON TEMPORARY STARS
Astronomers Have TWO Views as to
How the Somewhat Mysterious
Bodies Originate.

Most of the textbooks suggest that
temporary stars, or ''nOvae,' may re-
suit either from the collision of two
bodies in space or from a sudden eX-
plosion or eruption of single body.
Professor Hale, in his recent review
of the last ten years work at Mount
Wilson, states that a more plausible
hypothesis is that of faint star sud-
denly plunging into a gaseous nebula.
The spectra of novae, after passing
through remarkable changes, have usu-
ally been supposed to correspond
closely in their last visible stage with
the spectra of nebulae. Observations
at Mount Wilson, however, are in har-
mony with an observation of Hart
mann in showing that there is, at least
in some cases, a still later stage, IN
which the characteristic lines OF the
nebular spectrum disappear, as if the
star had finally passed out OF the ne
bula which caused it's sudden outburst
of luminosity. On this hypothesis, the
temporary brightness of these stars
would be analogous to that of me
teorite passing through the earth's at
mosphere and raised to incandescence
by friction-Scientific American.
