attitude on all railway wage in
creases for the present. No
mere combination of words can
reflect the real value and cour-
age and patriotism of such an
utterance in such a time. A
long, strong pull all together,
says the President, is needed to
reduce the general cost of living
upon which the wage demands
are based; and all classes must
be reasonable and await the
coming of lowered prices, GER
tain that a subsidy to any one
class, or its withdrawal from the
field of production, will obstruct
and delay general relief.
This is a great message, and
the address of the shipments
committee to the workers indi-
Gates that these leaders are
aware of its scope and logic.
The strike vote is to be taken,
and The Times prays that pa
triotism, foresight and sane
counsel will govern the balloting.
For if the shopmen strike: one
branch, as their leaders say,
fighting for the two millions of
railway workers. this country
will be brought closer TO the
brink of social revolution than
at any time in its history. In
fact the third crisis of the Amer
lean democracy will be at hand
if one collection of workingmen,
in the face of words like those
uttered by the President, hall

The dupont Scholarships

The Chemical fellowships and
scholarships established during 1918
1919 by the E. |. DUPONT de Nemours
& Company, of Wilmington, Del, will
be continued for the present scholas-
tic year of 1919-1920.
There are fifty-one of these awards
eighteen fellowships and thirty-three
scholarships-founded for students of
chemistry in colleges and universities
throughout the country.
:. Each fellowship carries a value OF
seven hundred and fifty dollars; each
scholarship three hundred and fifty
a total value of twenty-five thousand
dollars.
The fellowships are distributed
among seventeen colleges and univer-
sites and the scholarships go to thirty
one Institutions. Every section from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
the Canadian border to Texas is IN
Guided. The fellowships are for post
graduate work and will be established
in DEMONSTRATIONS which have the most
advanced courses in chemistry.
The scholarships go to the senior
classes in institutions which pay par
ticular attention to chemical instruc-
ton. The recipients of these awards,
which are to be known as "duPont
f~ellowships" and dupont scholar
ships" are to be selected by the in
situations themselves, the only condi-
ton made by the dupont Company be-
ing that they shall go to students who

The fish vas one of the symbols of
fecundity in ancient nature worship.
And well it deserved the honor. The
piscatorial tribe have probably more
enemies than any other type of animal
life, and they survive because they are
so prolific. You have only to think of
the numerous sorts of animals that
have a liking for fish diet, including
man himself. And the fishes prey on
each other enormously. But there are
many other and strange enemies. The
following cases given by the bulletin
of the Geological society are especial
ly novel:

instantly transfix it by inserting its
bill into the brain and sucking out the
life juices, whereupon the dead trout
would turn over on its back and float
down the stream.
A large black spider was once OBJ

bladderwort imprisons and destroys
small animals. Since his time it has
been observed that this bladderwort,
when confined in an aquarium with
the newly Matched young of fishes, will
trap them and therefore become, upon
occasion, a piscivorous plant. Minute
objects are enabled to enter the blad-
ders of the plant, but not to leave
them. After a few hours or days the
victims ~suffocate or starve, and the
products Of decay are absorbed into
the cells of the bladders and thence
into the tissues of the plant itself.

Over The River
Plan For Fine Produce Wharf

The produce pier to be built at
Front and Church streets, when COM
pleted, will be one of the finest piers
of it's kinds in this country. The bids
must be received by September 9, and
if any bid is accepted on that day, the
successful contractor has thirty days
in which to start the construction. 1t
is thought probably that the work
would begin inthe early part of Octo-
Der.
John Meigs, who is harbor engineer,
of Philadelphia, prepared the plans
and specifications which call for a
quay sos feet in length which will
give sufficient room for a great num-
Der of ships to dock at n time. 1t
is also proposed that a large open
space or plaza be left at the intersec-
ton of Front and Church streets for
the use of commercial vehicles.
1t has not been definitely decided
what the surface of the plaza will be
paved with but it is proposed that
either smooth granite blocks or as
phalt be used. Contractors have been
asked to submit estimates of both V
rieties of paving. The quay itself will
be smoothly surfaced with cement
with heavy foundations of concrete.
1t is expected that more than SOC
piles of heavy concrete will be useo
in providing a suitable foundation fol

Two shelter buildings will be con-
structed to house perishable .foodstuffS
in inclement weather. These struc-
lures will be ornamental as we'll as
useful. One will be 75x30 feet anc
the otheI>45x30 feet. Both buildings
will be about 25 feet high and will
stand on platforms, elevated a few
inches above the quay. Two small
stairways will be provided for the en-
tering of small boats at low tide
These stairs will be provided with cast
iron pipe rails. (
There will also be two "whar1
drops" which are movable planks ir
an opening at the edge of the wharf
adjustable to various stages of the
tide, by machinery. In addition, cleatS
and mooring posts for boats of all va
rieties will be included in the con-
struction.
