Having just nindo similar changes onrselves, we exteuil our con gratulations to our Camden coutemp ornry. The Courier ensily takes its place among the foremost newspapers of tho Stnte. South Jersey evidently realizes its value to that section and is giving it tho popular support it i-— ------— well deserves. Wo extend onr best wishes for continued success. Paterson is going to nsk tho legis lature to grant her a new charter. Tho Silk City is doing a commendable thing, particularly if she neods a new charter as badly as docs Perth Amboy. This city should take tho cue and git after a new charter herself. As hr.s already been suggested in these col-1 union, the proper place to start im- | provonionts is at the beginning. It took fire, floods and tornado to wake Paterson up to iier neods. Perth Am boy should not wnit until she lias lind similar experiences. Everybody real izes that the present charter is useless, the mayor said nine-tenths of its pro visions have been superseded by no s of the legislature. Then why not get one that will assist the city to advance instead of holding it back? Tho Evening News predicted tba1' tho Middlesex trio, which will r. pre sent this county in the Ilonse of Assembly this year, would bo beard from before tho winter was ovor. Wo were not to be disappointed.

SAID PRESIDENT FELL INTO A TRAP. Declared Thai “lulled Stales Is Be coming! I'ovclou/nnd Sow Rules Cuba, and Canul Trent} Was u (.rotenuue Act." WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.— When Senator Teller had concluded his speech in opposition to the t'uban reci procity bill Senator Morgan also was heard in opposition to that measure. The Alabama senator devoted a great share of his attention to the Panama canal (piestion. lie charged that the United States had broken faith in fail ing to obey the Spooner law and warn ed i 'uba that the same course might be followed by us toward that country in case the pending hill should become a law. Mr. Morgan took occasion to refer frequently to the Panama canal treaty and iu that connection again freely criticised wlmt he denominated ‘‘presi dential usurpation.” He declared that the United States Is becoming affected to the core with covetousness and said the country seemed to be quivering with doubt as to whether it should go over entirely or pursue the better course followed by our national fathers. So far as he was concerned he would nut he so mean as to yield to a tempta tion simply to advance the commercial interests of his state. He asserted that the United States would do as It might please with Cuba and added: "She is now fettered to the decks of our warships as firmly as Professor Langley's air ship was ever attached to his house boat.” lie spoke of the negotiations of the Panama canal treaty as a grotesque act and declared that Panama hud "no more right to appoint a minister to the United States than that country had to consecrate n saint. “He came,” the senator continued, “ns a swift winged messenger of false hood, dispatched on his mission by the Panama Canal company.” So far ns the concession made to Cu ba in this bill is concerned, lie said it would nut be regarded by the Cubans in anything but a serious light, what ever the result nuiy be. “The Cubans will not,” lie said, “re gard it as a ludicrous act in a French vaudeville, but will accept It seriously.” Mr. Morgan said that Cuba would do well to give careful heed to our pur poses in the legislation under consid eration. They should nut follow the old adage not to look a gift horse in the mouth, for in this cast* “the gift horse is a broncho which greets them with a whinny and may send them away with a kick.” Returning to the Panama situation. Mr. Morgan said that the United States Is practically at war with Colombia as the result of the fact that the presi dent had fallen into n trap. lie want ed, lie said, to save the senate from this same trap and again referred to M. Hunan-Varilla, the Panama minis ter, and after reviewing briefly that gentleman’s history as an engineer and contractor on the Panama canal said that lie had “contracted wisely and well and had left the isthmus a rich man.’’ Mr. Morgan said that his whole pur pose was to warn the senate* against ratifying a treaty the negotiation of which he characterized as “a most wretched, a most abominable and a most horrible transaction.” Notwith standing this was the case, the senator continued, “the senate sleeps over tills breach of the *Monroe doctrine, while the president of Prance and the presi dent of the United States stand over the recumbent figure and intone in unison their sole and sutlslicd amen.” He expressed the opinion that the cost of the Panama canal in its early stages would he so great as to cause congress to stop the appropriations be fore the enterprise had gone far and thus accomplish the purpose of the transcontinental railways in nrcventlnu the construction of any canal. lie then proceeded to say that only yesterday ho had met a great Demo crat. who had “had a place In our atfiiirs only second In importance to the presidency and had made a name for himself In diplomacy, evidently meaning former Secretary of state oi uoy, who had bowed ills head as lie said: “ T’or the first time in my life I have to confess that I am ashamed of the attitude of my country.' ” When Mr. Morgan stopped speaking tin* senate went Into executive session and ten minutes later adjourned.

V j WEIRD TALK OF ABYSSINIA. till i nordinary DUtfitvCi lei of Crime* Sait! 4o Hnu1 II ecu Made by Hypnotized Iio>*. A Swiss engineer, M. Iig, in the em ploy of King Menelek, the t aler of Abys sinia, tells some strange thing* about that country and t?he ot his most weird stories relates to the lobasha, or crime discoverer. These are boys not more than 12 years of age. who are put into a hypnotic trance, and in (iiis slate dis cover the unknown perpetrators of crimes. Of many of these almost in I credible cases of the hunting down of I criminals he had personal knowledge. In a case of incendiarism in Adis Abebn the lobasha was : ailed to the spot and given a cupful of milk into which a green powder had been put and then was made to smoke a pipe of tobacco mixed with a black powder The boy was then hypnotized. After a lew min utes he Jumped up and began running to Harrar. For fully It! hours he ran, and so swift was his pate that profes sional runners were not able to. Keep up with him. Near Harrar the lobasha left the road, ran into a field and touched a Calla working there with his hand. The man conie3scd. Another case which Emperor Mene i lek and M. Iig investigated was that of ! a murder and robbery near Adis Abcba. 1 The lobasha was taken to the site of : the murder and put Into his peculiar psychic state. For awhile he ran around the piacc, then back to Adis Abeba to a church, which he kissed, then lo au ! other church, which he also kissed. Coming to some water—water breaks the spell—the boy woke front histiance. He was again hypnotized and off ho [ went, round some huts, and at the door of one of them lay down and fell asleep. The owner of the hut, who was not in, was on ills return arrested. He stoutly denied ills guilt, but some of the goods belonging lo his victim were found in the but and he ultimately confessed. The murderer was brought before Menelek, who asked him to detail his doings after the commission of thf crime. These were found lo correspond wun the movements of the looasha. He Rai'l that, overcome with remorse, be ran to two churches and hissed them Menelek wanted lo have nnothpr proof of the Inhasha’s gif's. Up himsplf took some jewelry belonging 'o the c-ni pr"8s. A lobasha was rent for. Hr Hrst r.an about in the empress' rooms, thpu into Menelelt's own rooms—went through other rooms and finally fell down on Mcneteli's bed M Ilg ean give no explanation of this wonderful cift. which seem* lo lie ron fined to a certain tribe, nr perhaps racial confederation, the members of which arc distributed over Up whole of Abys sinia. It Is also worth rrncnihcring that a very similar method of discovering crimes was as ribed to the old Egyptians 4.000 years ago. r.raj nn I'i:*y Mark. Noticing that the gray winter uni forms of German troops and l he blue clothing of Chinese spectators could not be distinguished from each i.thei at long distances, a German officer in China experimented on the visibility of uniforms. A column was divided into five sections, each with its spe cial clothing, and was placed in close formation behind bushes without foli age. Ac about 1,100 yards the section In gray and that in overcoats appeared like uniform dark spots, while the sec tion in khaki and that in canvas were hardly visible. At 500 yards the gray began to look lighter than the dark blue. The gray overcoats, like long’ 'dark stripes, made very good marks, but both khaki and canvas were diffi cult marks at all distances.

The miner re ceives the theory because it. explains the making of gold to him. but he often won ders how It is done, so here is what has been scon: Daintree once prepared a solution of gold and left in it a email piece of metallic gold. Accidentally h small piece of wood fell Into the solu tion; the solution decomposed, the gold' assumed a metallic state and collected and held to the small piece of undls r.ilved gold.'which !:: erased In elite. An other Invest iga.l or, says Mines and Min erals, heard of thi.; and made a dilute gold solution, in which he Immersed n piece of iron pyrites ai d left it there a mouth. He added also organic matter, and at the mouth'.-, er.d the pyrites were covered with a film of metallic gold. Pyrites and galena were next tried, and each was covered with gold. Gold, cop per pyrites, arsenical pyrites, galena, wolfram were also tried with similar re sults. Metallic precipitates were tried, and while they threw down the gold as a metallic powder they did not cause It to cohere nor to plate any of the sub stances tried. Organic matter thus seemed the necessary chemical agent. Through the wood used in these experi ments gold wan disseminated in fine particles. Imagine those experiments conducted by nature through ages and the result could be a nugget. $ TWEN TY-THIRD YcAR- J * THE NEWARK EUSINE =iS COLLEGE, * * t,:r- "%£™{!Z?5*vt*trm',"‘ W. W.
