Made In America, (Waterbury American.) L. M. Tarr, the New Haven weather observer, puts the official United:| States seal of disapproval on ' the theory that the war in Europe is re- sponsible for the meteorological ec- centricities of the past few months. Mr, Tarr has issued a statement in | which he declares flatly that our weather is made in America and that the ‘use of explosives in Europe has nothing to do with the case. i ~ We ‘hear very little of “rain-mak- ' ing” these days, but it used to be a fairly prosperous employment, not unakin to the gold brick industry, in eertain -rural and western sections of | the country.

Per- ‘fectly logical, except for these scien- tific pesfs who are always taking the joy out of argument with their vil- lainous facts and figures.

The constitutionally weary horse of the rural mail carrier has been for a score of years.a familiar. object on the country roads. It was an object of pity, and no wonder. Many a carrier has had a route of between 20 and 30 niiles over all sorts of roads, most of them sandy or 'muddy and hilly. Shorter routes they had to cover twice a day. Now anybody who knows horses knows that they: won’t stand a daily travel of more than 30 miles, generally with a heavy load, and grow fat over it. Some carriers have sup- ported two horses, but hardly any af them could afford to do so on the pay they, got. - To the solution of this difficulty the motor vehicle was welcomed.

The néxt congress will be confront- ed with “a condition and not a theo- ry.” That condition is a deficit that amounted to $35,000,000 on June 1 and which by July 1 had reached $16,000,000 more. Let it frankly be admitted that the loss of revenus from imports is responsible for fiuch of this huge sum. While this is true, it ‘is also true, mevertheless, that unless congress repeals one clause of the wretced Underwood 'tariff law the deficit will reach alarming pro- portions. That is the section of the bill that puts sugar on the free list on May. 1, 1916. The revenue -from sugar in 1914 was $61,000,000, and with this vast sum lost congress of revenue. ( The war tax expires hy limitation on December 31 of this year, so that there will be a ‘possibii- ity that some of the blunders of the Underwood measure may be correct- ed.

For that matter the poor man has an easier time of it than does the carrier on the average - city route. Moveover, the increase of the parcel post business has made a mechanical means of delivery imperative. War A Stimulus To Invention. (Bridgeport Standard.) War time is prolific of inventions. The people in England and other Eu- ropean cities subject to the visits of zeppelins and other hostile aircraft are continually scanning the heavens to catch the first sign of the approach- ing enemy, and the twisting of their necks and the straining of their eyes has become painful and threatens chronic troubles which might be seri- ous for the remainder of life. To obviate this an arrangement has been devised which may be called a sKY periscope. It consists of a dombin- ation of mirrors by which the holder can scan the entirc heavens with his head in a natural position and with on special strain upon the eyes. The relief afforded is great and watching for hostile airships becomes an easy matter. We must therefore, the English inventors. But there is something being done here also. In the coke fields there is a by-product from coke-making which contains much of the possibilities of the dve- stuffs that our textile manufacturers use. Mr. Edison has devised a way hy which these desired qualities may be obtained and made valuable and, as the supply is inexhaustive, the dye- stuft problem would seem to be solv- ed with less of trouble than was an- ticipated. This by-product of the coke oven must’ be cheap and per- haps’ it may enable us, by help of the genius of Edison to make our dye- stuffs successfully in competition with the cheap labor and materials of Germany. tally one for A Goca Word for Croquet. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) Croquet is, doubtless, a mid-Victor- ian game, and that is the worst that can be said of it. It is gentle, polite, unstrenuous. The prim lady may par- ticipate without relaxing. her dignity. The athlete and the octogenerian may manipulate the mallet with equal skill, It is a game for evervone, 1 game which pleases without wearying which kills time without killing en- ergy, which brings one into the open but not into undue perspiration. In these days. eroquet is vooh-. ed. For the tired man or woman, who seeks wholesome and restful recrea- tion, there is nothing better than a mild contest amid the wickets under the apple trees. It may be reminis- cent of crinoline, gaiters and beavers, but it is none the less good. The best the Victorians accomplished was in ‘the way of mildness. A touch of mild- ness in these mad rushing times would be a definite benefit. When one is tired of reading or talking about | the war what could be a better con- trast or refreshment than a game cf croquet. ? Rebuilding Johns Hopkins. (Boston Transcript.) What the Johns Hopkins of the past has been is an old story. As a small university it has ever stood for | the best in higher learning. Intensive work has always been its aim. That the expansion sure to follow the re- moval to Homewood will work no | change in the ideals vigorously ad- hered to in the past is made plain by the present plans of the authorities. Hopkins will never be a large univer- sity, provision being made for not more than 2,000 students. The class rooms are to he small, accommodat- ing not more than 30 students cach, With the understanding that.the size | of the classes is to remain constant, even if the university reaches the maximum enrollment. The line of de- marcation between undergraduate and graduate work is to be sharply drawn in all departments, and tho fiormltorles, which will follow the quad” system, will not provide room for more than 200 students each. Fivs | vears ago Homewood was virtually a | Wilderness, today it has been laid out according to the best landscape arch- itectual ideas of the day. In another five yvears, if the money is forthcom- ing, the new university will probably be completed. Bullet-Proof Bibles. (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) Charles M.

Since the war began Mr. Alexander has devoted considerable attention to distributing Testaments among ~ Kit- chener's soldiers. The plan is to have every recipient sign a pledge card signifying his willingness to carry the Testament always and read a char ter each day. Mr. Alexander spent the British army, both at the front and at home. The league was or- ganized in Philadelphia in the courss | of the Chapman campaign.
