SCIENCE AND RULE OF THUMB.

Much of the effort of modern science has been
devoted to the work of ascertaining why things were
SO. In many cases the fact that they were so are
recognized long in advance of a knowledge of the
reason why. For instance, leaven or yeast was used
in raising bread for innumerable centuries before
learned men discovered the cause thereof. Away
in the dim ages someone found out by accident that
the thing would work. Its utility was recognized,
and the process was used but it required long ages
of study and experiment to discover that the action
of yeast is due to the activity of bacteria which
changes certain substances into certain other sub
stances.
In almost every field of human activity we find
of the fact that we have progressed by
chance or by blind experiment very frequently in adj
vance of our progress by deliberate intent and log
ical reasoning. Just now in medical circles there is
a great deal of interest in the development of what
is known as ~chaulmoogra oil as a specific for lepro-
'sy. Experiments, very carefully conducted, have
convinced competent observers that this substance
lis really very beneficial and that in many cases it
can be made to effect a cure of a disease which for
centuries was considered incurable. The use of this
is not new. This oil, which is extracted
from the seeds OF a fruit borne on a tree which grows
in central Asia, has been used for centuries for this
purpose. The story goes that an eastern king who
was afflicted with lepsosy and was therefore driven
away from communion with his own kind, .discov-
cred by accident the virtues OF this oil, that he cured
himself, and thencured a beautiful girl who was also
a leper, the inevitable sequel being that they were
married and lived happily forever after. How much
truth there may be in this romance it is impossible
to say, but it is a fact that this peculiar oil has been
used from time immemorial in certain localities in
very restricted quantities for the treatment of this
disease. Recently the attention of science has been
directed to the facts in the case, investigation has
been made, and it is determined that the reputed
but is based on real fact. This is but one of the
many instances in which a certain degree of popular
knowledge based on accident and custom has gone
in advance of the investigation of science.

It is to be noted that the treaties provide for the
contracted relations with the German and the Aus

The governments of these two countries sare both

tons of the great powers to participate in the dis
armament conference in Washington in November
meeting itself. The personnel of the American del
egation has not been completed, but it is expected
that further selections will be announced very soon.
The disposition exhibited in congress to prescribe
rules for the conference seems to have been nipped
in the bud, and questions OF subject matter and pro-
.cedure are likely to be left without further attempt
at interference to the delegates themselves.

The labor troubles in the Mingo district of
West Virginia have reached a stage where the aid
of federal troops seems necessary for the mainte-
nance of order. Up to the present time the federal
government has been reluctant to interfere, but un-
less there is a speedy change in the situation federal
troops will be obliged to take charge.
Congress has adjourned for a months recess.
In the last few days before the recess the senate

bers of both houses will enjoy a brief vacation, and
many of them will devote themselves to committee
work on pending bills, so that intensive work can
be begun on these bill when the two houses reas-

NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE.

The reply of the Irish republican parliamentary
to the offer of dominion home rule made by the
British government is a rejection-of the tender. This
is quite as was expected. Nowhere, we believe, has
there been any expectation that there would be an
immediate acceptance of the plans proposed. II this
were all, the situation would be Encouraging: but
the early dispatches with reference to the subject
indicate that while the tender is rejected, it is the
expectation of both sides that the way is left open
for further negotiations. That is about all that could
have been expected at this time, and SO long as ne
continue in good faith on both sides, there
is every reason to believe that they will ultimately
be successful and that in some way or other, and on
some basis. Ireland will enjoy the blessedness of
peace and self-government, and the rights and in
l~terests of all persons concerned will be preserved.
The continuance of negotiations is hopeful
among other reasons because it will involve a con-
,tinuance of the truce That means that the common
people of the disturbed sections of Ireland will be
able to attend to their own personal affairs, to the
care of their crops, the prosecution OF their indus
luies, the building of their homes, In peace and Sc
