Wild Talk About Impeachment. 1 Since the old moon began to shine there has been no more nonsensical exhibition of political lunacy than is found in the talk about "impeaching" Attorney-General Dapgherty for his course in applying for a certain judi cial process, and also of "impeaching" Judge Wilkkrsox for granting a tem porary injunction on the terms of the application. Is our neighbor the World really in earnest when it lends its utter ances to the support of the prepos terous idea that here is ground for impeachment? "^e demand for the impeachment of Attorney-General Daughebtt and Federal District Judge Wilkebson of Chicago," said the World yesterday, "is not so ridiculous as some people may regard it." "Compared with the charges against these officers, the charges on which President Andrew Johnson was impeached were triv ial," continued that newspaper. If the World is in earnest about Impeachment we can only deplore the condition of its intellectuals. If the World is not in earnest we can only say that it ought to be heartily ashamed of itself. It iB scarcely tolerable to common sense to attempt to reason w}th a, newspaper professing to hold such sentiments. VThat civil" officers are subject /o impeachment? The Con stitution defines the scope of im peachment proceedings In the fourth section of Article II. "All civil offi cers of the United States," says the Constitution, "shall be removed from office on impeachment Jor and con viction of treason, bribery or other j high crimes and misdemeanors." Treason or bribery will not be al-' leged in this case even by the World. With what high crime or misde- i meanor can the Attorney-General or the. Federal Judge be charged b>' any-' body whose proper place in not with- i In an asylum for -irrationals? The nearest the World comes to specification on this essential point Is to declare its opinion that the Attorney-General and the District Judge, in the matter of the tempo-; rary injunction, were proceeding "against the plain provisions of Sec tion 20 of the Clayton act"; that they ?'were acting to set aside the plain provisions of an act of Congress." Does our neighbor yet understand the "plain provisions of Section 20 of j the Clayton art? As Tjie New York Herald pointed out the other day, and as every lawyer or intelligent layman who has examined these pro-1 visions with his own eyes ought to know. Section 20 merely provides thai "no restraining order or injunc tion shall he granted by any court of the United States, or a Judge or the Judges thereof, in any cake bftwfn an rmployrr find cmployrg*, or be tween employers and employregi or between cvtployccx, or between per aon? employed and pe.rxomn ?eekin{j cmpiojfinrntand so forth. In this category of cases where an Injunction Is prohibited by the Clay ton met, where is the prohibition that makes it a high crime or misde meanor for the United States Gov ernment to apply for, or fftr a Judge of the Federal District Court to grant, a restraining order, temporary or permanent, upon the application >fi >' an Attorney-General of the United States, whether his name is Rim Alb OlnBy or Harky M. D.uohkrty? Where Years Do Not Count. The western part of the province j of Ontario. Canada. In the vicinity1 of St. Thomas, near the shore of I>ake Erie and directly atiross from Cleveland, was peopled by pioneers front Devonshire, England. The dls- ' trict is one of the loveliest in all that ffi'r agr'cuHural region, and an nually the descendants of those fani %; llies of early English settlers hold a reunion. Many < ome from a lon? distance, and frequently there mill be an attendance of several hundred. Tfce feature of this yewKs gather ing was, a foot race between those husky youngsters Wai.Ljm i )Trs&Au .: aged of New Sarum, and Magis-; trate FJuuvk IIr??T. aged 82, of St. Thotn**>. The prir* was a keg nf the DevoMhirt CMer ftrr wftich the re ' > I k ^ ^ i. : arion is famous, and it Is recorded h.tr the ivoutestaats strained every !-erve Tor its possession. No twinges of rheumatism stayed them in theii ftlght for the goal as friends and relatives from all the countryside applauded. , What better recommendation couln there be for such a community and | Its rules of living than is to be found in the recorded victory of the juvenile Tisdai.e? It was an Instance in which youth was not served. Per haps when Magistrate Hi nt is better j trained, say along about 1930. he will be able to snatch the laurels from ! the brow of his conqueror. A Serious Misunderstanding. Mr. Samukj. GoWPkks, speaking of the Constitution of the United States i from the point of view of the const!- I tution of the American Federation of; Labor, is persistently wrong in at least one respect. He declares and maybe believes that the great issue is the retdora-t tion of slavery?enforced labor, as he calls it. This is not the case. The great 1 issue is to prevent enforced idleness, j A Plan for Futile Talking. Mayor IIvi.an has presented his own transit plan to the ,Board of Estimate and has Induced that body to call five sessions at which the pub lic is to be heard on various phases of the scheme, which, according to the Mayor's own estimate, would cost $600,000,000 to complete. There can be no objection to plenty of publicity for important civic ! matters. But the public ought to j understand, before it spends its time I and mind at any of these public hear j ings, that they will be purely aca i demic discussions. ! All transportation plans for this | city must originate with the Transit i I Commission. The commission's plans j 1 are submitted to the Board of Esti | mate. One of its plans was sent to the Board of Estimate last week. It calls for the construction of a much needed subway between Queens and I j Brooklyn. It is as practical as the | Mayor's plan is visionary. If the Mayor and the Board of Estimate were really in earnest about improving the transportation facili ties of New York they would take up the Transit Commission's plans and discuss them, instead of wasting j time with orations over a scheme which, even if it were possible, has no legal standing. If the Board of Estimate believes that the Transit Commission's pro- ; posal now before it is a poor one why doesn't it show wherein it is poor? If it cannot find faults in it whv does it not approve it. so that work on the Sound to Ocean subway can be started immediately? The crowd in the City Hall, it seems painfully evident, is not look ing for cooperation with the only body that has the power to originate . rapUl transit plans. The Board of Estimate has done nothing in all of HylaN's live years as Mayor to help the public to new subways. And now j it seems to be on the point of trying to pull the wool over the public's eyes with a set of hearings which will never get the city anywhere. The Turk at Constantinople. Europe is brought unexpectedly fare to fare with the seriousness o? the Near East situation by the rapid advance of the Turkish army through western ABia Mipor to the ,$}gean coast. Nothing could more clearly show this than the sending of Field Marshal Lord Plimkr to Constantinople to take charge of the defenses of that city and the Turkish straits. Kemal'h triumphant sweep from his capital in the heart of the Anatolian highlands to the outskirts of Smyrna, the Greeks' last remain ing Asiatic stronghold, changed in a day the Greco-Turkish war from a matter for tho quibbling of the conference table to a problem calling for the immediate intervention of tho allied Powers. It is evident that the Allied Com mission at Constantinople saw in Ki mm.'s victories in Asia Minor a danger to its administration. With the success oT his movement against Smyrna he will have won only the first of the goals which he set out to gain. There yet remain the control of the straits and the Turkish capi tal. the Thracian plains and Adriano ple. All of these he declared he was determined should he returned to Turkey. In tho selection of Field Marshal Pi.i mek to prepare for the exigencies of an attack upon Constantinople the Allies intrusted the tank to a man peculiarly fitted to it from long experience in the Near East. Since 1919 he has been the Gov ernor of Malta. Before that he was In command of British forces In Mesopotamia and the Sudan; he fought in the Boer war and distin guished himself by his services on ?the western front. His activities have Included also several diplomatic mis sions In the Near East, so that his past experience gives an assurance of a tactful and discreet handling of the present delicate situation. The exact status of th? Allied Com mission at Constantinople Is perhaps not thoroughly understood. Origi nally its mission was the policing of the city, the suppression of conflicts between the contending racial fac tions and the protection of the Sul tan's Government. It was faced by a problem similar to that which would be precipitated by Kkmai/m ad vance when a month ago the Greeks Concentrated two divisions before the defenses of TchataIJa and threatened forcibly to occupy Constantinople. The allied forces, made up of British. fYench and Italian troope, w*r* th?i considered too weak to make a suc cessful resistance, and the principal defence was placed on the alii eel war ships in Turkish waters. The Greeks abandoned their attempt to take the city, but their forces, according to the latest reports, still remain encamped upon the plains of Thrace. But can the triumphant Kkmal be so easily stopped on the eastern shores of the Bosporus? Not only has he back of him an array more or less inspired by the fanaticism of Turk-! ish nationalism but at the same time; bis progress has elicited an unusual 1 degree of interest throughout Islam. | These are the two forces drawing him on for the recovery of the seat of j the Moslem Khalifat. On the other hand, it must be said to Kemal's credit that he has displayed so far i a spirit of conservatism and a denire1 to present his case to the considera tion of the Allied Council. He must see that an attempt to take Constan tinople would be an attack upon al lied Europe; that while he might win in a conflict against Greece he would have a mightier undertaking in a war against Europe. The Greek army, all the reports in dicate.1 is utterly routed. It suffered heavy losses in dead and prisoners and in the capture of some of itsj commanders. It can no longer be depended upon to offer in the present crisis any resistance." That a Greek governmental upheaval will follow is not unlikely, and there is already a report that Constantino has left Athens and that Venizeiaik will be recalled. This situation has brought about a call from Smyrna for intervention on the part of the allied governments, and this action is said to be under consideration at Paris. Such a course seems imperative if the allied nations are to maintain their hold on Con stantinople. It is absolutely neces sary if the racial minorities in Asia Minor are to be saved from the per- i secution which has always followed | Turkish victories. Canadian Dollar Back at Par. The Canadian dollar has climbed back to par and Canadian business men and statesmen are justifiably pleased at the tact. As H. B. Walker of the Canadian Bank of Commence remarks: "Canada is the first of the countries that fought in the war and suffered currency depreciation to get back to normal." Canadian hankers and other busi ness men in analyzing the causes bringing about this result agree on cne thing. They unanimously at tribute it in large measure to the influx of American money. For some time back American money has beej flowing into Canada at the estimated rate of $20,000,000 a month. Ameri can investments. American purchase*! and, last but by no means least, an unusually heavy tide of American tourist travel have been pouring American dollars into Canadian cof fers. "Americans," remarks E. L. Pease of the Royal Bank of Canada, "are investing heavily In the Domin ion, making this country an export center for distribution of their goods to other parts of the empire and thus ; benefiting by the lofrer tariffs." Arid | he cites the Ford and General Motors investments as typical of enterprises which are bringing American money into Canada. Canada has been huying less .in the j United States since the emergency tariff went into cffpct and to that extent has been keeping her money at home, while on the other hand there has been much American "buy ing of Ganadian bonds. And there is another source of recent Canadian prosperity. It comes as a consequence'1 of prohibition in the United States. "Liquor purchases," Mr. Pease is quoted as saying, "to a minor extent are helping the dollar." Very likely he. Is right, and this may apply more particularly to the Province of Que bec. Yet considerable as undoubtedly has been the flow of bootlegger money into Canada, its shftre in putting the Canadian dollar bjick to par must not" he overemphasized, though it cannot be ignored. Canada is prosperous be cause her finances and her busines' conditions and methods are sound. This naturally greatly enhances whatever value there may l^c> in con tiguity to a well to do and friendly neighbor. Fine Argentine Polo Mounts. Tt was not surprising to those fa miliar with their breeding that the Argentine polo mounts in the match against Shelburne showed Improve ment in speed and better form gen erally than they displayed on reach ing here from England. It took a few weeks for the South American thoroughbreds to recover from the ocean trip and to beconrte aerustome-d to the climate here. The fact that the Argentine has as good blood in its thoroughbreds as can be found anywhere has been demon strated by the test of racing and it is due to frequent importations of sires and dams of proved quality. No priro has been too great for South American fanciers to pay for an ex ceptional horse, as was shown when Seflor Uwice gave $264,000 for the American hred horse Tracery, by Rock Sand, a few years ago. This Ib the record figure for a thoroughbred. Breeders in the Argentine had pre viously acquired the great horse Cyl lene, sire of four Derby winners, for $157,500. Another good horse taken from England for their account was the Derby winner Diamond Jubilee. He coat $151,200. Craganour, dis qualified for fouling Aboyeur in 1913, was bought for $150,000 and has done hia part in improving the blood stock of the Argentine. With such rlrile strains at their j disposal the followers ,of polo in the Argentine have found in the under | sized thoroughbreds the finest sort of material for the game. That their | mounts have stamina as well as speed was demonstrated on Wednes | day at Rumson. All theories of blood stock breeding would be upset if this wire not the case. With a quartet of players to match their mounts Soiith America has a good chance to win the polo cham pionship. Should its representatives fail to score, the final victory they will at any rate have established a wholesome reputation for th? sports manlike quality of their game. Solombn's Four Mysteries. Said old Solomon: "There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air: the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid." The serpent's way of ascending smooth and almost perpendicular surfaces by means of his efficient ribs i has been plain to physiologists for j centuries. Probably one of Solo- ' mow's neighbors knew the secret. The way of a ship in the midst of! the sea is no puzzle in these days of j Leviathans. Solomon should have j said "the way of a shipping board in the midst of the wir." As for the eagle in the air, we "a re only now, 2,875 years after Solomon went to sleep with his fathers, solv ing the mystery. The eagle knew all about air currents and Solomon didn't. The eagle is easy for the men who make gliders. They prefer to copy the albatross, which does | more difficult feats. But the fourth thing that mysti-1 tied the King of Israel is still giving j its students a headache. ? The Retiring Major-Generals. Secretary Weeks of the War De- i partment recently wrote to Ave Major-Generals and two Brigadier Generals who within the coming year woyld be retired from the army' on account of age and pointed out to them that if they retired volun tarily now it would render unneces sary the forced separation from the military establishment of a number of promising younger men. Tn response to this suggestion' Major-General Chakles J. Bailet. j Major-General Francis J. Keunan, j Major-General George Bell, Jr., and Major-General Clarence R. J Edwards have applied for retire-j ment. Each of them is willing to sacrifice a part of his possible period of high command and the difference j between pay for active duty and the lower pay of the retired list for the j benefit of the service in which they ; have risen to distinction. This voluntary action reveals do-1 rotion on the part of these men to i the good of the army as a whole and j that they are ready to put the inter-, est of the institution ahead of their own personal desires and ambitions. One thing is certain. Their patri otic self-sacrifice should not impose a financial loss on these officers. Congress should see to it that their pecuniary losses due to the difference between pay on the active list and pay on the retired list are made good, and this should be done promptly. Starving rats from the Zoological Pin k in The Bronx arc alleged 1o be annoying visitors to that interesting establishment. If tlie starvation con tinues until tho rats become compara tively rare the ?00 will promptly set up an inclosure in which to display them. Uncommon vermin have a com paratively easy time of it. , The native of Santo Domingo who tired a burning match to convince himself that a keg of gunpowder was explosive may have been in training to hunt for gas leaks with a flaming candle. According to the United States Bu reau of Labor Statistics in twenty five out of twenty-six representative cities the prices of food fell off be tween July lfi and August 15, and it would be safe to bet that the dwellers In each of them believe theirs is the town in which there was no decrease In the cost of living. After all there appears to be noth ing In this talk about English con servatism. Kngllsh trains have Intro duced smoking cars for women. The judges in the Atlantic City beauty contest have announced that they will consider "natural beauty" only, and that, has been Interpreted to mean that bobbed hair and plucked eyebrows will disqualify their posses sors. Those Judges are going to have a difficult time drawing the line wbere natural beauty ends and the other kind begins.. It's wonderful what a coif fure will do. In urging on Senator Borah "the immediate necessity" for the Im peachment of the Attorney-General of the United States the railroad strik ers in Xew York city have displayed a strtingc conception of Judicial dig nity. Should the Attorney-General be Impeached the Senators would tie his judges. It Is scarcely customary to set up a Judge as a prosecutor. The Garden. 0 many a time have I the woven wonder Of dawn beheld ascend behind the hills. The chrysalis of nlnht time rent asunder Flowering to roses and to daffodils. And many a time have I the sunset's splendor Descending seen beyon^ the valley slope. And the cloud peonies fado Into the tender Petals of violet and of heliotrope. And many a time with darkness grown so stilly That, the wind scarcely seemed to breathe a sigh 1 hnvr watched Illy upon starry Illy Blossom within the garden of the sky. Clinton Scollarp. One Big Labor Union. All the People of the United States Are Members of It. To Tub New York Herald: I am a member of the United States labor union ; so is my wife. My parents. alt my relations and a hundred million other people are also member*. We elect a president every four years, also other necessary officials at various times. This labor union baa grown and progressed for nearly 150 years. In spite of sev eral critical Illnesses survival finds it stronger than ever. Into this union there have intruded from abroad malignant disease germs which have developed into a cancerous growth. Medical treatment has been ap plied. but without avail. The cartuer still *rows and slowly cat^ into the healthy tissue of our great organization. We should have a consultation of the best surgeons and physicians, and they should decide on a definite policy of treatment: either find some medicine that will positively and effectively kill these pernicious germs and thus allow the constitution to grow to a healthful state, or else perform an operation on the pa tient, cut out the diseased tissues, apply proper antiseptics and bandages and se cure good, reliable nurses who will make the patient behave. When this mincer is finally rooted out and every one is guaranteed absolute protection in every respect in his con stitutional right to work and earn his living free of Interference from those who do not wish to work, then the pa tient will make a rapid recovery. C. H. R. Somervilljs, N. J., September 7. Our Courts Open to All. A (ienoriil Strike the Wrontr Answer . to the Dauprherty Injunotion. To The >Tkw Yokk Herald: It was reported in your paper that a demand was made on President Gompcrs to call a convention of the American Federa tion of l^abor for the purpose of declar ing a general strike of organized labor as a protest In reply to ^ttorney-Oen eral Daugherty's injunction against the railroad shopwien. It seems to me that the time has ar rived when the Government should us# every power at its command to prevent even the consideration of such a pro cedure as interfering with a mandate of; the United States courts. Any individual served with an injunc- i tion who ijuestion? its validity or legal- ; Ity can carry his complaint to the high- 1 est court in the land and receive relief ! as a lawabiding citizen in case of error . In its issuance' A general strike, by whatever name j it may be called, based on interference with these Injunctions as issued by our . courts would amount to civil.war. Deplorable as such a state of affairs , would be for the country at large, it is 1 pitiful to contemplate the physical and financial status of labor at its conelu- | sion. Charles T. Ellis.

To The New York Herald: On Sun day I made iny habitual rounds at.the Metropolitan Art .Museum. 1 discovered I that New York can be proud of the fin? | examples of old masters thr museum contains. Going through the American galleries I noticed how one of the best land scapes was made almost undistinguish able by having a plate of glass put on the canvas. It was impossible for me j to see the mountains, the rainbow, the 1 glorious sunset. Only the three flguros ] in the foreground were visible. This glass is too much like a mirror; ncr painting shows, but only myself and all the other visitors around me were as plain as life on the glass. I refer to Fred 10. Church's "The /Egean Sea," which is a master paint ing. I hope the curator will take the plate of glass away so ail art lovers can enjoy this special painting. IjOIJIS M. 0ILSHEMIU8. New York, Septcmoer 7. Wood Advocated for Furnaces. To The New York Herald: It is a fact well known to observant steam pro ducers that the proper methods to be employed for the efficient consumption of soft coal are not well understood except by comparatively few professional fire men. It is therefore hardly to be ex pected that attempts to burn it in the average house furnace will give much satisfaction for the outlay and trouble. The use of any prrade of anthracite below pea, unless with roaring draft and knowledge of how to handle it, means little comfort. Hard wood in large pieces with careful control of draft and checks i* probably the b?st substitute for proper sized anthracite. A. B. Taylor. Orange, N. J.. September 7. Animals in Zoos.

Sprnal Diapatch to TI1B New Yo?* H??au>. I OHTLAKD, Ore., Sept. 7.?A large staff was busy this afternoon counting the contributions, ranging from a few cents to checks running into several figures, making up the triennial thank offering l>.v (lie women of the Episcopal Church. It Is expected that the offerings, coming h'T1 over the wor,d- wl? total a ever mad ,aP*' by far tlle ?The donations come from the savings of 1.l#ck women of Africa, from women of the frozen North, from China and from a dozen other far offi countries. Thev come from the wealthiest and the poorest of America and of Europe. A special thanksgiving .service, a fix ture on the program of each triennial convention of the church, was held early this morning in Trinity Church. It was conducted by the Kight Rev. Daniel Syl vester Tuttle, presiding Bishop of the church. The golden alms basin, given to the American Episcopal Church in 1852 by the corporation of Oxford University England, was used to receive the offerings rinlty Church was filled, principally' with women. | An impressive procession, headed by the crucltix bearer and members of Trln- ' ity choir and including a number of visit ing Hishops. entered the church at 7 :30 o clock. During the offertory hymn the alms basin was held before the congregation and the offerings were poured into it from the collection plates. The Right Rev. Walter Taylor Sumner. Bishop of < >regon, received the offering and pre sented it to Bishop Tuttle. who placed it upon the altar. Other Bishops assisting at the ser vicp Included Bishop Lawrence of Mas sachusetts and Bishop Gsilor of Ten nessee. Bishop Lloyd of New York read the name of the departed, for whom a prayer was said preceding the com munion. I he House of Bishops to-day accepted thr' resignation* of the Right Rev. Robert L. Paddock, Bishop of eastern Oregon, and the Right Rev. James D Morrison, Bishop of Duluth. Friends of Bishop Paddock declare he is heartbroken over the clrcurtiNtarfces leading to his resignation. What these circumstances are have not been made j public. Statements from official sources j in the House of Bishops deny that Bishop Paddock ^as been the object of criticism by officials of the church. It there is any disagreement or criticism it is a matter for the diocese in which lie lias been working and not a matter for the church officially," the statement declared. Bishop Paddock is seriouply ill in New York of nervous trouble brought on. It is declared by many, by the in tensity or his work ip eastern Oregon and by criticism to which he has been su bjected. As there is no coadjutor in his dis trict. his place will have to be filled by dhocoean election, which may be Tlir Old Walter.

To The New York Herald: Until re cently my family was the owner of a rare police dog aged one year and a faithful Boston ball aged five years. A dog In our neighborhood was believed to be suffering from hydrophobia. A Board of Ifr.alth .representative called at our house and against our 'pro tect. removed both of our dogs, who man ifestly were In normal health, to hold them under observation for a period of ten days In the department's kennel on Twenty-fourth street. At the expiration of ten days the dogs were returned to us in a pitiful condi tion. emaciated, neglected, unclean, both fatally afflicted with distemper. One lasted six days, the other expired last week, despite the best medical aid ob tainable. I personally requested orte of the doctors connected with the depart ment to treat the dog as he had prom ised to do, but he refused. One dav on Ave different occasions I endeavored to speak to this doctor and each time he or his assistant abruptly hung up the receiver when it was ascertained who was speaking. It Is desired to know what remedy an owner has against the action of these men and what relief there can be In a case like mine, where two valuable dogs were led unnecessarily to the slaughter.

New York, September 7. The Immured Standards. Imperial Tard and Pound Presorted in Mouse of Commons. f rom Nature, An interesting ceremony recently took place In the House of Commons when the copies of the Imperial yard and | pound, which normally rest within the wall of the staircase leading up to the , committee rooms, were replaced fVi their recess and rcimmured by cementing in place a stone slab. < These "Immured standards," officially described as "Parliamentary Copies No. 4." constitute one of the four orixlnnl s4ts of copies of the present primary standards of the yard and pound, and ' were constructed simultaneously with i them In 1N44-45, with the view of pro viding a ready means of replacement I should the originals at any time he lost j or destroyed. Such a catastrophe occurred tn 1*34. when the Houses of Parliament were burned down, the then exlating stand held at the convenience -of officials of the diocese. Wallop Ueorge H. Kinsolving of (he dioceso of Texas, a brother of Bishop Luclen Lee Kinsolving of Brnzll. to-day denounced the Itu Klux Klan and its ac tivities. Like Presiding Bishop Daniel Tuttle, Bishop Kinsolving placed revision of the Prayer Book in the background of Im portance, and stressed the need for or ganizing extension work in the interests of the church at home and abroad. "Harmonize labor and capital, secure adjustment of rights and further mis sionary work of the church?these are the great living isaues before the denom ination," he asserted.* "This conventiou will do a good deal of shooting with blank cartridges; 1 believe, like Na poleon of old, in shooting with loaded cannon." Bishop Kinsolving, the tallest Bishop here, is fi feet 5 inches tall and weighs somewhat over 250 pounds. His brothef from Brazil is nearly as tall. Another interesting Bishop from a far off country is Bishop W. H. Overs from Liberia. .Some thirty years ago he wast chief of the Ijebus, a nation of about 250,000 people he discovered In the Dark Continent. Bishop Overs declares that passage by Congress of a bill pro viding a $5,000,000 Federal loan to Liberia would be one of the surest ways of developing that land, the only placo where free government of Africans over Africans exists. "Were this measure to be passed I predict that Liberia would adyaace further in one year than it has in the past twenty," Bishop Overs declared. JUSTICE FORD'S HOME SHATTERED BY A BOLT Lightning Passes Through Room but No One Is Hurt. Sprrial Dispatch to Tim Nmv York Herald. Carmei,, N. ,Y? "Sept. 7.?The country home of Supreme Court Justice John Ford at Kent Cliff.?, near here, was strtack by lightning during the storm last night. Justice and Mrs. Ford and their daughter, who were In the room through which the bolt passed, were not Injured. Their chimney was shat'ered and bricks were strewn about the roof and yard, large rafters in the attic were spilt and a hole was torn In the roof. The bolt entered the chimney and came out of the stove door In the room in which the family were sitting. It left the house through a door, which it charred. FROST IN ADIRONDACK*. ?SaranAc Lakk, N. Y., Sept. 7.?A blighting frost visited the Adirondack region last night. Late crops In many gardens were destroyed. The mercury was well below the freezing point. ards being destroyed in the Are. The other sets of .parliamentary copies were placed and still remain in the custody of the Royal Mint, the Royal Society and the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. At a later date a fifth set was provided for .the Board of Trade, to obviate the necessity for using the primaries in im portant comparisons, as had been the practice hitherto. Under statute these copies must be compared with fnacl* otber every ten years and with the primary standards every twenty years, but the immured copies are expressly exempted from this requirement. Hence they have seldom been examined and were only cursorily rcveriflcd for the first tlnv in 18U2, when Mr. II. J. Chaney, the then Super intendent of the Standards, compared them with the Board of Trade copies by means of apparatus which was taken to the House for the purpose. Since then they have not been disturbed until this year. Upon the present occasion, since this year marks the end of the twenty year period, it wa.?) thought de sirable to include the immured copies also in 4 complete set of Intercompari soiis with the imperial standards them selves. With the kind consent of the Speaker and in his presence the recess was opened and the standards taken out and inspected. All the comparisons in which the im mured copies were involved having been completed they were returned on Au gust 3. They were then formally re placed In their boxes, which were then hermetically sealed up . within a lead sheathing, within an outer oak box, and replaced In the recess. In which they were again immtired by cementing the front stone in place. An apparent variation In the yard Is of the order of the differences which have, been observed from time to time In the past among the other standard liars, but the apparent change in the pound is more considerable. It may perhaps be explained by the. fact that the weight In by no means a good piece of metal, and of all the copies It. con stitutes Vobably the one least fitted to form a trustworthy standard. Some evidence iA, however, available, though it cannot be regarded as conclusive, that prior to 1878 the primary standard was rendered a little lighter by wear, aris ing from its relatively frequent use for Important comparisons. The present se ries of cojnpa tlsons may render it pos sible to form some conclusion as to whether this is the case. The Trouble. Knlrker?Does .Jon"* live Inside his Income?
