More American Victories.

An American Murphy and an
American De Palma finished first and
second respectively in the Grand
Prix automobile road race yesterday.
JIMMIE MURPHY drove an American
entered car; DE PALMA a French en-
tered car. Thus another trophy is
added to the list of those won in
Europe and England by Americans
this year, list which at one time
seemed likely to be short but now has
grown to respectable length.
But while Captain MrLBURN and his
champion polo players, Jock HUTcH1-
SON, with his British golf title, MUIR
PLY and DE PALMA have saved our
pride abroad, an assault is being de-
livered on our own ground. We have
never had an abler or more repre-
sentative body of athletic guests than
that which Is made up of our present
visitors.
The sporting events of worldwide
interest which have been decided
already have been characterized by
good feeling and square dealing. We
are confident those which remain to
be decided will further strengthen
the friendship SO well begun.

Very Early Jerseymen.
They Made Stone Weapons Like the
Arms of Medieval Europe.

To THE New YORK HERALD: There
are strong reasons for believing that
definite evidences have been found of the
occupancy of the North American coast
by Europeans In the middle ages.
An antiquarian experienced in the
belongings of that period became long
since convinced that through excava-
tions in different localities at Ruther-
ford, New Jersey, there had appeared
on the surface great amount of stone
implements in the shape of medieval
arms in iron.
If this was but chance in natural
formation 1t is sufficient to give the To-
cality national reputation. like that Of
the Cannon Ball Creek in the Rockies.
AS the antiquarian continued to ac-
curnulate specimens and separate these
into their different lines and compared
them with pictures from antiquarian
books it seemed that there could be no
doubt that these were as near to medi@-
val weapons as could be expected OF
stone semblances of arms in iron and
could have been welded in the same
manner. The Norman shields measure
very nearly alike, and the Danish axes
and guisarmes are most convincing.

The First Task of the New American

To THE New YORK HERALD: In your
editorial article on the loan to Brazil

the greatest holder of money in the
world. On the same page a despatch
from Paris told of how the accredited
Ambassador OF this richest country was

TO live in, and that he had been COM
PEELED to receive calls from the repre-
sentatives of other nations in busi-
ness Office.
Why should this country continue to
neglect to provide buildings and proper
salaries for our officials in foreign
cities? Uncle Sam can afford to be
rich, but he cannot afford to be stingy
with his servants.

as Ambassador TO France and he had
to put Nd two dollars Of his own cash
for every one he got from the Govern

try was poor, I'm need or in revolution

Cool Homes in Summer.
Hungarian Engineer Has Evapora.
tIon Plan to Aid Comfort.

From the Philadelphia Public LEDGER.
Americans may soon DE living in ice
houses.
The houses will not be the kind in
which ice is stored. but new type of
dwelling designed by Leopold Pollah. an
engineer and constructor of Budapest.
Hungary. He Is contemplating building
a house manufacturing plant In Phila-
delphia so that the public will have a
place to escape the swelterlng heat with
out trekkIng shoreward or northward.
Mr.. Poilak said that the houses Will
be made of infusorial earth and COW
cred with porous bricks. In appear
ence they will be similar to those used
by the natives of South America. who
use monkey jugs. or water bottles made
of pottery. to cool their homes.
The South American natives place in
each corner of a room a water jug. and
in n few moments the room is cooled by
evaporation. Mr.. Pollak does not go
into detail abou. his new plan. but states
that he can regulate the cooling of n
house In summer In a similar manner as
that OF heating the same building in
winter. lie said he can make home
as cool as an ice cellar on the hottest
day in the year at a cost OF approxi-
mately ten cents n day.

How Much Did 1t Cost Us?

Commissioner WHAIEN of the De
partment of Plant and Structures an
nounces with apparent pride that on
a recent hot Sunday the city owned
and operated ferry boats plying be-
tween Manhattan and Staten Island
carried 153,339 passengers, surpass
ing all previous records for a days
business on this line by 6,666 indi
viduals transported.
This announcement, however, is in
complete. Commissioner WHALEN
should add to 1t the cost of the SER
vice rendered and the income derived
from it. He should tell what proper
tion of the receipts went for pay of
the crews, coal, oil, ferry slip and
ferry house workers, and how much
of 1t went for insurance, deprecia.
tion, interest on the investment and
contingent expenses, to meet which
all we'll managed corporations set
aside certain amounts each year.
And if the ferry Is run at a loss
Commissioner WTALEN should tell us
how much that loss is, so that the
people of New York city may know
how much of the money they pay in
taxes goes to support this municipality
owned and municipality operated pub

Fordney's Tariff Then and Now

While the Fordney tariff discussion
still goes on it is we'll to have in
mind that the House bill is nothing
like so black as it is painted. or,
rather, as the Fordney amenders tried
to daub it up. In the last hours be-
fore 1t was adopted to go over to the
Senate much of the evil which had
been put upon it by the amendment
painters-the oil, hides, dyes and SIM
liar incomprehensible and indefen-
sible duties-was scraped off with
rough treatment by ruthless hands.
Undoubtedly there are still bad
spots in the very extended measure;
but what general tariff bill in its
earlier form or forms has been free
of them? The chief trouble with the
Fordney tariff now is that, having
been thrown together in more or less
of a tumble, 1t needs careful ironing
out in detail Grant that this should
have been done in the House during
the days which were used up on the
irrational and pernicious schedules
eventually sent off in the ash cart,
nevertheless the fact remains that it
can be done as we'll In the Senate as
in the House. probably better, and
there is plenty of time to get around
to that.
Meanwhile the war message which
Congress got from the aroused and
indignant American public over the
outrageous provisions the Fordney
workers wanted to have in the bill,
but could not keep there even when
they got them in, should have a salu-
tary effect in other directions on in
competent, reckless or case hardened
lawmakers. In any event the Fordney
measure need no longer terrorize in
dustry and business, for even IL it is
recognizable by it's own parent when
it finally goes forth to it's career 1t is
not going to get the chance now to
ruin the country.

Leaderless Boy Scouts.
Volunteers Called For to Act as
Leaders One Night a Week.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Those
whose duty 1t is to solicit funds for
civic and philanthropic PURPOSES are to-
day frequently met with the reply, II
am sorry l cannot help financially, but
If there is anything can personally
do to be of service 1 shall be glad to
help"
There is something which the men
of the Borough Of Manhattan can do
for the Boy Scouts along these lines.
There are fifty troops of Scouts with
from eight to sixteen boys In each which
are leaderless. They are asking men
between the ages Of 81 and 35 to give
them not money but one night a week
Of their time.
There are hundreds upon hundreds
thousands upon thousands of other men
of good education and opportunities wh2
are fitted for the leadership which
these boys are asking. The thousands
upon thousands OF highly trained ex-
service men and officers are especially
qualified to render this personal service
which demands of them only few
hours of their time each week. 1t is
a service which ought to appeal to any
red blooded man. 1t puts him in close
touch with the coming manhood of this
borough and gives him large oppor-
tunities to put his impress on i'm

Theories of Professors.
Some Even Teach That the Planets
Do Not Affect the Weather.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: To-day
we have among educated men class of
calloused professionals who owing to
their position and rank exert consider
able influence and control over the pub
lie mind
We can even find instructors In uni
versites deliberately teaching that a
projectile moving or. fired along the
surface of the earth at certain We
locity would, owing to the earth's at
traction, move around the earth to the
starting point, and that the earth by
its velocity and the suns attraction be-
gins to move away from the sun at
perihelon. There not being a word of
truth in either statement, the young
mind therefore Is msled by the calloused
professor.
The following words quoted from a
Secretary of Agriculture some years ago
show a calloused principle in the
Weather Department "It IA believed by
the scientists of the Government that the
planets have little or no effect upon the
earths weather"
The movement OF the EARTH moon or
planets. forcing the earth toward or
from the sun day by day, being the only
cause of the daily changes OF weather.
what costly mistake the Government
Is making by neglecting to record from
day to day the only records that will be
needed in the coming years to forecast
weather n month or a season In ad-
vance.
The time will come when the present
Government weather charts and meth
DDS of forecasting will be junked like
out of date war material and the new
weather chart will consist of marking
the path. of the moon and planets as
they pass eastward or westward be-
tween the earth and planets or stars
near the ecliptic, and recording the
mathematical effect upon the earth's
weather as result of the moon or
planets passing between the earths re-
pelling force and the tremendous repel-
ling forces Of planets and stars.
No reliable weather forecasting can
ever be made until the Government or
somebody else begins the new weather
charting or mathematical system, so as
to make possible the first reliable fore
cast. ID. A. ". GROVER

Clevelands 125th Anniversary.

Cleveland has been celebrating the
anniversary of the day when IL was
first put on the map and doing honor
to the memory of the man who put
it there. 1t was on July 23, 1895,
that General MOSES CLEAvELAND, a
native of Chesterfield, Connecticut,
and graduate of Yale College In the
class of 1777, surveyed and mapped
town site on a plateau eighty feet
above Lake Erie at the mouth OF the
Cuyahoga River, in what was then
the Western Reserve and is now the
State OF Ohio.
When General CLEAvELAyD's task
was finished his associates in the Con-
necticut Land Company's surveying
expedition voted unanimously that
the town should bear his name. So
Cleaveland 1t became and Cleaveland
IL remained until somehow, some
time, somewhere I'm the course of
years an "a" got lost and Cleaveland
became our Cleveland of to-day. =.
General CLEAvELAND was a forward
looking man. When his surveying
Job was done he made a prediction.
He there and then went on record as
saying that the time would come
when the town just named after him
would have as many people as Old
Windham in Connecticut. This
smacked Of temerity. for the popula-
