It furnishes the mocha's - emit. by Which torpedoes aro made to take a straight eourse through the water to their destination,' and pre- sumably IL is also uSed in the new "aerial torpedoes" devised by a Swedish officer, concerning which Mit Imperfect, infolthation has Yet reach- ed Gila country, Now it is suggested as the successor to the compass hi the most important work which that ancient guide of the navigator has to accomplish. The trouble with the compass is that It suffers under too many 'Lamle - floes. It levies with time and wit.h locality. It varies with magnetic cbanges in the yeah and with mag - flak changes in the vessel itself, and In these days of steel ships the lat- ter is a very importaut factor. .et the best, running by compass alone, a vessel cannot come within many degrees of keeping its true course in a voyage as long as that across the ocean. Now on a big, fast ship this is an important consideration. De- spite all that can be done to correct the variations of ttw compass, a ship will elves enough to cause it to cover from .2 to 5 per cent greater distance than it should between port and port. And this means a greater expenditure of coal. And coal is money. If the gyroscope can help a ship to keep a straighter course than can be kept with a compass, it has the future before it. Experiments to this enel recently made in Clermany have been very suc- cessful as far as they have gone. It has been found that a wheel turning at the rate of 3,000 revolutions a minute will keep true to its plane, despite all disturbances in the vessel. The firing of heavy guns will not make it vary, nor the most violent shocks to the ship, either from with- out or from within. It has, indeed, been possible to make corrections by it in observations made with the aid of the compass under the most fav- orable circumstances for the latter instrument. What the gyroscope will do for a stretch of a few hours is known. It remains to be sem whether it will accomplish results without variation for a steady week of sailing. The prospects are that it will relegate the compass to uses in which a lesser degree of accuracy is satisfe.ctory. Sweden and Norway have settled their troubles. Terms upon which tho dissolution of the union can be peacefully and quietly consummated have been agreed upon by representa- tives of both nations in a meetieg at ICarlstad, Sweden. The signing of a treaty is all that the separation now rests on. A revolution by rea- son has been accomplished. Friends of both countries cord ob- servers in general cannot fail to re- joice at the news of this peaceful end- ing to what for a time appeared to be a possible source of much trouble. That Norway should secede and that nothing short of force would bring It into a union with Sweden was in- evitable after the action of the Nor- wegian parliament in deposing; King Oscar. This stop was taken only af- ter grave deliberation on the part of the Norwegian ministry, and a Peace - Sul return to the old regime was Ma - possible after it. The substantial unanimity with which the Norwegian people voted for a dissolution of the union showed how well the masses agreed with their leaders, Swedish statesmen of one class reeented Nor- way's action with a vehemence that might have brought on serious trou- ble had they been in absolute Power, War preparations were made on both sides. The Swedish nation at large( however, refused to indorse the feel- iegs of their war leaders, and no pre- cipitate action was taken. On the eontrary, negotiations for a peaceful settlement or the questions under dis- pute have gone steadily forward, All through these negotiatioee Swedieh and Norwegian leark(rs, and Uro people, have tholon a spirit that places them before the world in an enviable light. They have been sane end rationee. Their counstels have been thoughtful and reasonehle, By effecting the agreement at Karlstad they have given the world a shining example of how national complioa- *ions may be settled without resort to time. Norwegians and AWedis in this country and in the fatherlands have this day good reason to be proud of their countries.

But all those interested in proles:siesta eth- ics 'understand that the republic has suffered its greatest iejury in the lowering of the standards of honor and the influence of an evil estrunple upon the young men of the nation. To the honor of the generation be lit said that the people have been slow to believe evil of those direc- tors and have been convinced against their will. At last, how- ever, men sadly acknowledge that Browning's poem on Tlua Lost Leaders" has a meaning. Names that were but yesterday written high ane now written low, lie close to the groued and are be- spattered with mud. Some who be- lieve that familiarity with evil is in- jurious to the morals of children and youth can but regret this daily uncovering of evil in the courtroom. What a scene is this that each day witnesses! One group of attorneys coaches a witness in the art of con- cealment ond evasion, showing him how to throw a cloud and fog over SECRET TItANSA CTIONS, while over agninst this group stands the legal Sherleck Holmes, running down every ecent, prying sap the fin- ancial boards, pouncing upon the se- cret as the terrier pounces upon the rat. Little wonder that one of these tortured ram thinks that "cross-examination lends a new ter- ror to life." Seine years ago a speculator bought stocks on margin, depositing collateral with his broker, The stock went down, the margin was swept away and the collateral sold. A speculator to the core, the man sued the broker, claiming that the 1 collateral belonged to his wife. I When the cross-examiner fronted the man on the witness stand he be- gan by saying, "This vollateral be- longed either to you or to your wife, did it not?" "Yes." "11 it belonged to you the broker would lose it; if it belonged to your wife you knew that she would lose it?" "Certain/y," was the answer. ".Now, will yell tell the court who you intended to rob in the event of loss—the bank or your wife?" That question brought the cold I sweat out on the brow of the w t - nesse And there have been ques- tions asked in the last few clays that have cut both ways, like a two• edged sword, in the legal dueling be- tween one group, determined to men- thel things, and tho other group of investigators, determined to ferret all things out. But this upheaval will mean no- thing to the morals of the people unless 11 leads to personal scrutiny and personal searching of heart and testing of motives. I Think you that these insurance di- rectors arc sinners above all who dwell in New York? What about the beef mon, now convicted and flned for secret rebates in Chicago? What about tho Iowa judges, not to mention the judges of other states— judges wiles ride on passes and oc- casionally have the use of private cars? One western judge recently gave a deeision against the rail- road, and he was promptly request- ed to return his "mileage" for his family. And Imre is the now volume of im- pressions of America by a foreign teas:eke, Ile tells us that graft is In danger of beeoming universal; that he paid for his meal, but the waiter would not servo him WITHOUT A TIP; that whim he asked to have his trunks meet him at the statiun a11 hour later the baggagelnan thought it was impossible to get there unless be had an extra fee; he bought hls sleeper ticket, and found that It had been sold a SCC011a ti.1110 to someone who had paid a fee rather than sit up.

Nevertheless, we need to deal sternly with ourselves and confess thee things are bad enough. The lesson of the hour for every man is the importance of lighting the can- dle, searching out the garret. and cellar of his being for bidden thoughts, secret sins.

The Man and. the Book.—AD the in- formation which we have concerning Ezra, the famous loader connected with Isracre return, is obtained from the Woke of Ezra and Nehemiah and the epocryphal writings of the Old T'estameet. From these we lease that he was - a priest, a scribe, and a prophet, representing in a way the traosition from the prophetic office to that of the scribe. In the cap - city of a scribe we must think of hint, however, not as 0 Mere eopeist, nor yet as the author of the law, but as a diligent studeet end teacher cif the law.

Several distressing, instances have occurred in Germany since the au- tume school term began of chlldren's suicides. This has brought on a dis- cussion of the conditions of school and home life and endeavors are be- ing made to trace the causes of that increasing feebleness of the desire to Ole which it is affirmed the 11,000 suicides of 1903 Indicate. Statistics of children's self -murder in Saxony show that although only seven persons under fourteen com- flitted euleide in 1901-1902 the num- ber rose to twenty -the ill 1903. The suicides of adults in Saxony increas- ed in the same time from 1,38e to 1,- 427. Causes of suicide in Germany are regarded as being exceedingly subtle and ie the current discussioes the personal views on the subject have generally been decided by the obser- ver& opiniona on other questione. The socialists account for the suicides by economic reasons which they bay result in making it barder to get subsistence, darken life generally and throw shadows over the lives of the children. In the clerical view the abseece of faith, the increase of irreligion and the growth of withal materialism explain tho weakening desire for life, and It is held that a revival of spir- itual aims would lessen suicides by increasing the serenity of living. Critics of the sthool systems as- sert that children are forced too much—that the,v aro over stimulated and are set tasks which are impossi- ble of accomplishment for those slightly below the standard of capac- ity, and that punisliments, tho fear oi reproofs Bud injury to self-prtde push the child toward suicide, which, he often hears his elders refer to as a refuge.
