A PERMANENT COMMISSION, ‘?Lhoking back over the five months of {dleness in the ite mining region, their enormous cost of $146,- 000 in money losses to all parties to the strike, to ers, operators, railroads, business men, and the less nt but no less real damage done to constituted soci- ‘by the fomentation of socialist doctrines, the pity of fs that the appeal to reason was delayed so long. “What Mr. Morgan showed himself willing to do in the “end was a perfectly feasible and dignified course of ac- Hon in the beginning and one that could be taken part by all persons concerned with no sacrifice of prestige ‘orhonor. The recourse to arbitration was dictated then, as now, by common sense. _ Considering with what difficulty a warrant has been “®ecured for the creation of the arbitration commission which {s to settle the strike, why should not this emer- ‘gency commission, if its findings prove satisfactory, be Made a permanent board by the consent of the operators “and miners? In the English mines, in Durham and rthumberland, as pointed out in The Evening World ot Oct. 9, a central joint committee has for thirty years me successfully with disputes between the miners’ i i mn anc the owners. This joint committee is com- of thirteen members, a county judge officiating 38 chairman with a casting vote. What has worked so well abroad may work well “here in similar conditions. A supertor opportunity for “the demonstration of euch a committes's usefulness is “Bow afforded. . fHE RAINES LAW HOTELS. In an open letter to the Mayor the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst _ presents some carefully prepared statistics of the present ‘status of the city’s 1,247 Raines law hotels. Of these 128, hut more thixa 10 per cent., wholly ignore the con- Mayor's attention to this state of affairs as “deplor- disgraceful and mortifying” the reverend critic of ‘ administration says: “Why not give your Chief of ‘Police an easy list of a few of the 128 hotel-keepors that ire a Jaw-defying sham, and let him bestir himself and verify for himself and then make that a basis for pro- et against his subordinates and follow up that lino he hos either driven the fake hotels out of business f his subordinates out of the force,” There are those who will regard this question as mal- and untimely, asked as it is at a moment witen juous efforts arc making for the improvement of the ent’s deportment and the cleaning of its soiled After the discipline of the force has been bet- @ beginning may be made in the reform of abuses of the nature here pointed out.

AS JUDOE, | Deputy Commissioner Piper shows to great advantage ‘his conduct of the trials of delinquent policemen, at a he made his debut yesterday. His experience as army judge advocate stands him in excellent stead. His decisions were well considered and if sometimes they appear so chiefly by contrast with the senti- “mental promptings to mercy which tended to make a of similar trials by his predecessor. _ The penalties inflicted by Capt. Piper yesterday were ‘Alstinctly “for the good of the service.” ‘ TIM AND DAN’L, | ~ In the course of an appreciation of Timothy D.

A Brooklyn man, who thought it was about time to declare the wedding ring a chestnut, substituted a lily for it when he was marriéd the other day. Being a Brooklyn man, municipal pride should have prompted him, as Artist Kahles shows, to use the recognized floral emblem of his town instead of a lily. Other substitutes for the bride's golden circle, all of practical value and with no sentimental nonsense avout them, are also pictorially set before the reader by The Evening World's artist.

One of the latest departures of the experimental psycholo- gist consists tn prodding people with a pointed stick when they are asleap to find out how much excitation is required before they begin Lo move, and how much ft takes to wake them up, says Nature, This method is embodied in a paper on “Experimental Investigations on the Depth of Sleep," by Drs. Sante de Sanctis and U. Neyroz, of Rome, a translation of which is given in the Psychological Review for May. The instrument emloyed {8 called a Griessbach etheslometer (made by Brandi, or Bale), and be used elther with a sharp or blunt point. It measures the stimulus necessary to induce subconscious reaction and that applied at the waking point. Four normal subjects, all relatives of the writer of| the paper, were experinicnted upon for about stx consecutive months, and afterward five subjects, mostly epileptic, were| operated on, and from the results obtained curves were drawn showing the relative depth of sleep, as measured by the stimull required, after the subject had been allowed to sleep for various lengths of time, The curves are all of zigzag form, and the experiments may perhaps suggest a practical application in the case on subjects who ind {t hard to wake in the morning, and who may overcome the difficulty by timing their sleep 6o that the waains point is at a minimum when they wish to rise. CHINESE PLAYING CARDS. If there {s one thing the Chinese in America cannot under- stand regarding our customs it fs why the police and courts should tuke’ cognizance of gambling. It in a recognized amusement in China, and the Chinaman {sa reckless gambler, says the Philadelphia Pubilo Ledger. They have several kinds of playing cards, name for them 6 ehe-pae, or paper tickets. ‘The ecards are| two inches and a half in length and hal inch wide, and the kind most commonly used are calle? tseen-wanche-pae, “a thousand times ten thonsand canis" ‘This pack has thirty cards—three suits of nine each, and three Independent cards which are superior to the rest. The suits are named, rea- ly, ‘nine myriads of strings of beads," “nine unite of and “nine units of chains.” Thore are several queer names for other varieties of play- ing cards, One is called “the hundred boys’ cards," another “chariots, horses and guns” and a third, curlously devised on the principle of some of our historical games, 1s called “a thousand times ten thousand men's names cards," A MILLION FROGS A NIGHT. Beveral weeks ago the Jewell County (Kan.) Republican propounded the problem: “How can a pond that has been dry for ten months assemble 1,000,000 frogs in one night?” But the newspaper scientists of Northern Kansas are not to be stumped by such a query. The Russell Record explains: “Frogs have the faculty of burrowing In the ground, taking on the color of their surroundings and lying in a dormant state for an Indefinite time, When the rain comes they wake up and sing.” ‘The scientist of the Deiphos Republicon has a different solution. He answers the question: "It can't. Don't you recall that story about the man who took an order for a million frogs, the number he estimated from the notec ho head, but when he’ wont off for the goods found only two green heads in the mud on opposite sides of the pool, calling each other names aod daring each other to cross and: fight?"
