THE INGERSOLL-DAVIS CASE. This is a legal case which attracts more than ordinary attention because the plaintiff in the suit has been dead for over a decade and it is still booked for continuance.

While the necessity for such a tunnel is recognized, the directors of the Boston chamber of commeree appear to have some doubt whether such a means of through tran- sit will not lessen rather than increase trade, and they are going to look into the atter from a cold commercial stendpoint to see whether it is the best thing for Boston sroblem of how to fur- nsportation for its rapidly populatiton does not seém in ¥ to solve itself. The public service commissioner reports that in onth of December last the sub- ars carried 2,300,000 more people they did the month before.

James J. Hill's idea that it would be profitable fo found an experimental farm in every county of a state is be- ing seriously considered by some of the western states. The Ohio house of representatives agrees with Hill that experimental farms are highly desira- ble institutions. It has passed the Wilber ®ill, which authorizes the es- tablishment of these plots at county cost. “Should every county take ad- ntage of such a measure,” says the Toledo Biade, “this would do very much toward redeeming Ohio as an agriovitural state, It would serve to ut us with the advanced guard in- stead of with the rear. e the senate appr ature of the gov -al and the sig- or.

The bill should | say: xvvhoevor has heard the peroration of one of Ingersoll's lectures can never forget how he wove sunset glow and gleams of dawn, the silver sheen of stars and the rainbow’s jeweled scarf, into the flamboyant tapestry of his magic elogquence. Poems, symphonies, { pictures were fused in his sonorous periods—few orators have ever wielded such a sensuous spell. “Juge Hammond’'s decision also will bring home to many who remember Ingersoll's burning oratory the fact that this type of lawyer is fast pass- ing away. The man who can move a jury to tears by his plea is no longer as highly valued as the one who knows the pigeon-holes of the law and can draw up an air-tight document. We have turned from the spectacular to the practical, from pyrotechnics to business, and the transition has been accomplished almost entirely during these eleven vears since Ingersoll passed away. “It is, indeed, rare that any judi- cial decision is handed down which, in itself of but narrow scope, starts so many trains of thought and memory as this one in the Ingersoll-Davis case.” THE UNIVERSITY AERONAUTIC CLUB. There is a movement on foot to terest the colleges of the country in air navigation, and the first convention for this purpose is to be held in Phil- adelphia on the 1st and 2d of April, when it is expected that several hun- dred students from American and Ca- nadian colleges will be present, the purpose being to'organize a University Aeronautic club which shall affiliate with the Aero clup of America. Dur- ing the sessions lectures and addresses will be delivered by the most renown- ed aviators in the world. It is pointed out that if the colleges take up aeronautics we may look for an increase in the knowledge of the essentials of the machines and of their management in the air, all of which will be of great value in ascertaining commercial possibilities. In the hands of an ordinary college boy, with the proverbial recklessness of such indi- viduals, there are few feats known or possible to aeronautics which will long remain untried, That the col- leges may help develop the science of aviation and make it as practical as possible is the hope of those calling the convention, A TIMELY WARNING Prof. John B. Smith, the entomolo- gist of the New Jersey agricultural station, has issued warnings to all im- porting trees or shrubbery from abroad to look out that they are not infested by the brown-tail moth, which is equally as annoying a pest as the gyp sy moth, which has cost the state of Massachusetts over two million dol- lars. It would be difficult to attach too much importance to such a warning as that sent out by Prof. John B. Smith. It is of special urgency because the pest has been unusually plentiful for the last two seasons in sections of Europe, from which we draw heavily for shrub, shade and fruit tree stock. Consequently the danger of the impor- tation of the pest is greater than usual just now. Professor Smith urges that arrangements be made for the careful inspection of all imported nursery stock, so that any egg-clusters or nests of the larvae of the moth may be dis- covered and destroyed. This is a duty which every party to such importations owes to himself, his fellow workers and his state, Since this pest can ibe kept out with proper vigilance, it is the duty of all interested in this subject to do as re- quested and lend a hand in the work. Prompt action now may save an ex- pense of millions later on. EDITORIAL NOTES.
