(’., Sept. 1-.—There has been a good deal of controversy as to whether the present adminis tration leaders are bogus or real re formers. The suspicion that Mr. Roo sevelt has been playing reformer, while doing nothing to really control the trusts and corporations, rests on evidence Hrat is unite strong enough to cause a grand jury to l>riii' r in a true bill. 1! formers, like other peo ple, must be judged by whal they do, rather than by what tlte> say or write. Cp to the present time the re forms attempted by Mr. Roosevelt are all "it;) in the air." 'I hey may mate rialh/e in the future, it he stick's to them manfully and doe-; not hack down when confronted with obsta cles. as he lias done in the tariff re vision reform. He starts new podti cal reforms constantly, hut whft-i the old party bosses show him that to car ry these reforms out would split or disintegrate the G. O. P|. Mr. Roose velt gets discouraged and backs water. But as it reformer of other than Republican politics. Mr. Roosevelt is more stable. He has just ordered the introduction of spelling reform in ins department of the government and as there will be no reason for the Republican politicians to object to that reform, for most of them are quite likely to spell in the phonetic way ,as by the rules of the dictionary, they will he glad to see Mr. Roose velt amuse himself in that way in stead of other reforms that are more dangerous to the party. For instance, a sentence of the president's message to congress this fall mav contain this; The brazen standpatters are compresl and husht and should be supprest for their wil ful ardor for the frenzied fantasy of protection. I recommend that, every dasht schedule be stript of its woful and lachrimal injustice. If this, ac curst tariff is not discust and lopt off at this session, the dasht Democrats will have you whip), to a frazzle in the next congress. Now. that is something like reform. Mr. Carnegie, at the opening of the Roosevelt campaign in 1904, in a burst of partisan philanthropy, said he would give one million dollars to the Republican campaign fund to elect Mr. Roosevelt. Did his liberal dona tion have the effect of enervating the judicial arm of the government? It looks so. for there has been no at tempt to prosecute the steel trust and it must he remembered that Mr. Car negie owns $300,000,000 of the steel trust bonds. As Mr. Roosevelt has discovered that "the question of re vising the tariff stands wholly apart from the question of dealing with the so-called trusts—that is, with the control of monopolies and with the supervision of great wealth ip busi ness, especially in corporate form.” Is It possible tliat President Roose velt does not know, or for partisan purposes denies that such "so-called trusts" as the stei l trust, the sugar trust and most manufacturing combi nations that are complete or partial monopolies, have been created, and could not exist without tariff pro tection against foreign competition. The protective tariff was the moth < r of those trusts and is still nursing those lusty Infants. The Republican standpat candi dates for congress at last have Roo sevelt on deposit in their banks. His 1 iter to Watson is ,a certificate of deposit against which every member of the eo.igi'cssioiial plundcrlriml may draw at. will. Commenting upon this remarka ble, sophistical and contentious d liv- erance of the Oyster Bay Machivel- llau. the Washington Star, Republi can, says: "What can have come over the ~i’ir ! ' of the president’s dream? A ear or so ago he was on the eve of ddre.ssing congress on ihe subject of tariff, hut at the last moment re considered his decision. At that time he was accounted a revisionist. Cer tain it is that the standpatters were "roatlv disturbed and feared the re sult of a deliverance from him. If there was need of revision then, there Is greater need now. The inequalities of that day have grown since, and they grow every day. But now the presi dent does not see them. His atten tion Is fixed on 'dher things, and he mentions them. On the subject of the tariff the man of haste and energy talks Spanish. He says mamma- tomorrow.” W (‘ii Roosevelt speaks in his W ut- son letter of the “persons resoonsible for the handling of the present con gross,” he probably means the presi dent and his friends Harriman. Mor gan, Schiff and Rockefeller. If it is not so ask any particular Republican congressman who handled him. Some body handled him, for Teddy says * sr> - !t i.; the first time ‘hat the official announcement was ever made that congress is not r ‘Sponsible for its own acts, hut that certain other men are responsible for handling it W hat does “handling" mean? To handle, according to Webster’s dictionary, me ns ot use or hold with the hands; to manage; to practice on.” Who used congress? Who managed ij? Who practiced on it? Who held it in their hands? Who are the "men re sponsible for handling congress?” Roosevelt has charged-!wo parties with crime in ibis matter—the first, those who handled congress; and weeond. the congressmen who were handled. Let every “handled" con- gre . man be defeated a! the polls. That the army is alive te the prog ress of modern inventive genius as applied to military service* is shown bv thi* comprehensive report on coast tb-fense needs, known as the '1 aft Boards reports. In ISKd. under authority of con gress. the modernizing and enlarge ment of our coast defense system was entrusted to a board of army and na val officers with on“ civilian member. The board was known as the Hhidl- cott Board. Secretary Endicott. being at the head of the war department at this time. The Endicott Board’s es timate of the cost of a complete sys- tem of coast defense for the Xlnlted States was $126,377,800. About one- half of this sum has already been ex pended for our def 1 uses. The new Board, known as the Taft Board, rec ommends that the remaining work, together with additional armament which lias been found to be necessary, will cost $50,879,399 to complete. New types of armament and new calibres of ordinance have been de veloped since the Endicott Board made its findings. One of the inter esting war weapons perfected in the last decade, as w n have seen, is the submarine boat, which is properly classified as a coast defense type. The Taft Board lays stress on the value of the submarine boat for coast defense, and it is prominently men tioned in the Taft Board’s report as a feature of the floating coast defense. in additiofl to their general utility these boats will be indispenslble at certain points where topographical conditions or the force of currents make it impossible to mount guns or plant mines. The Taft Board discusses this mat ter as follows; “The Board has recognized the claims of the navy to command all seagoing defenses, and also the gener al advisability of assigning naval units to particular stations, yet the Board believes that the military de fenses of certain important ports should be supplemented. In the "Race” in Ixmg Island Sound defens es of New York, at the entrance to 1’nget Sound, and in the Golden Gate of San Francisco the conditions are such that submarine mines cannot al ways be reliably installed. The Board is of the opinion that the navy should contribute to the defense of these places b/ assigning submarine boats or by other suitable vessels. "Automobile torpedoes have not as yet been provided for harbor defens es. There are some channels with water so deep as to prohibit the use of submarine mines, and some others with currents so strong as to make the question of their proper mainte nance doubtful. In such cases the use of the automobile torpedo may he desirable; but experience in their use in land defenses has not been suffi ciont at this tim • to recommetyi their adoption. The Board recommends that an appropriation he made for ex perimenting and testing such torpe does for coast defense at tin school of submarine defense, Fort Trotten, N. Y.” (’has. A. Edwards.

Once, when I opened tin* window to et out a buzzing be**, a partly clos <1 blind prevented tin* light of the crack between sash and casing from reach big tht* bee; but there was a lint* ol light on Hu* jamb opposite the crack. The bee continued to buzz agiinst the pane till I covered it up, and then it (lew to the streak of light on the jamb’ and tried to go through that: and then it turned and flew out through the cnick. Next day 1 found a moth on the window, and when the window op cited it went through the same motion as th.* bee had. clinging to the pane till it was covered, then Hyin ,r to the streak of light, and then at last going ('tit through the crack. Thus we see that under like condi tions moths and bees behave alike: but a part of the moth’s "craziness” is due simply to its zizzag manner of flight. In not a few cases where I have seen a moth fly into the flame of my clock lamp, it has been <lue to its zizzagging while circling around the blaze. There is also one potent clement in the situation at night, which is wanting the daylight. Set a lamp in an open windo”* at night and see how black it makes the darkness appear. It is such a blackness as would ordinarily indicate a solid obstacle; and so when a night-flier comes with- ' the range of the light the.darkness seems to become a solid well inclosing it on every side, with no outlet except towards the light. Hence it is that on a warm evening, with windows and blinds open, moths begin to come in: hut they rarely go straight to the lamp. Many of them go straight to the white wall and afterwards come nearer and nearer to the lain]); but most of them settle down at last on the wallsand remain there omtionless the rest of the evening. In a dingy Chinese house the lamp attracts more directly to itself than it does to our white-walled houses. One evening 1 found in niy bed room a young sparrow, which, in stead of flying at the window pane, as it would have done in the day time, (lew at the whit.* jambs and at the white walls. When I cornered it with a shaded lamp in my hand II flew up against the chimney and flut tered around inside tic shade. Then it perc’.ted on one of the brass arms of the shade; and when 1 reached In niv hand to t xk > it, it fluttered to the floor, where 1 grabbed it. and taking it to jin open window, set it on the win dow sill. There it squatted, till I, in turning away, threw my shadow on it; and then in an Instant it fluttered out into the darkness. of it.
