LONDON, Dec. 16—With the flat racing season at an end sporting men are discussing the usual array of stat istics published by the papers. In the list of winning jockeys, Danny Maher, the American rider, is third with firsts under the wire, but second in percentage. For the preceding seven years Ma her has been first in percentage, al though In winning mounts he was sec ond to Wooten in 1909 and 1910. For the first time since 1903, Maher has failed to ride lto winners, the number this season being one short of the century mark. Since 1900, when he made his first appearance on an Eng lish race course, Maher has ridden 1,197 winners, an average of 99 a year. Wooten in six years has ridden 673 winners, an average df 112 a year. Wooten had 'by far his most excellent year this season, having been up on 187 winners out of 746 mounts. The taking on of weight may relieve Maher of his greatest rival, as it is said that on this account Wooten may not be able to ride more than one more season. In order to insure even this brief extension of hi® racing sea son he will be compelled to spend the winter in India, where he will get suf ficient work to keep him down to weight. Maher also finds it increas ingly difficult to keep to weight. To avoid taking on fat he will spend the winter hunting. It was clear many weeks ago that Earl Derby, senior steward of the Jockey Club, would head the list of winning owners. His aggregate of $215,000, is nearly double the amount which placed him second to Mr. Falrie last year. No owner has had such a sum to his credit since 1896, when Leopold de Rothschild topped the list with a total of $233,800. Two horses, Steadfast and Swynford. won most of Lord Derby's money for him. That millions are wasted under the present system of education in Great Britain was the startling statement refiently made by S)ir John Gor&tt formerly Vice President for Educa tion. Th!s has added fuel to the fire of criticism to which fhe plan for uni versal education has been exposed since its ademption. Sir John said, among other things: "The majority of those who care for the welfare of the people and are ex perts in education consider that the greater part of this money under the present system is wasted and might as well, so far as education is con cerned, be thrown into the sea. Phys ical growth of the children df the nation Is, except in the more advanced of our great cities, insufficiently pro vided for. A starved and stunted race is being allowed to grow up as a legacy for the next genera tion to deal with, for in most ele mentary schools children are only drilled, not educated. "Originality of teacher and children is ternly repressed. This new edu cation by work first and books after wards, introduced into the schools of Bavaria, and spreading over Germany and elsewhere, is only partially known in British and Irish schools. The higher university schools are still fettered by mediaeval systems, which make the acquisition of learning to be produced at examinations the main work of the students." With the incoming of the new minis ter of education, Sir John proposes a radical revolution in the manner and methods of administering the educa tional grants. The successful trans-Atlantic voy age of the \io'ler, an internal combus tion motor ship, which was built at Wallsend-on-Tyne. for carrying grain on Canadian canals, has given im petus to the building of similar craft by British shipyards. The Toiler was especially designed as a large cargo carrier and the saving in engine room by the installation of gas engines made for economy in space. The ves sel will cary 97,000 bushels, or an in crease of .15,000 bushels over a steam driven ship of her dimensions. In ad dition to the savings in stoker's wages there is the reduction in fuel costs, the boat running on two tons of oil per day in comparison with a steam ship's eight or nine tons of coal. Keen interest is being taken in the Jutlandia, a twin screw motor ship which will have its trials next month from the Clyde shipyard, where she is being built. She is the pioneer in motor ocean carriers, and her success may mean a revolution in marine en gineering. For service on the Great Lakes of America a large motor ship is being built at Glasgow. She will have mot ors of 1,000 horsepower. FERLJN, Dec. 16—The shining "pickelhaube." the spiked helmet of the German soldier, will be replaced soon, probably by a lighter headgear. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE Rheumatism Cured by E BARTH E TREATMEN Sufferers from rheumatism, sciatica and stomach trouble should realize that outward applications, such as baths and massage, though they give relief for a time, do not cure. The De Barthe Internal Treatment removes the cause, purifies the blood, cleanses the entire system, and then the disease cannot exist. Thousands have been successfully treated by this treatment. Write for particulars to DE BARTHE HOSPITAL without the polished surface. Several models of new helmets have been tried by various detachments of the army recently, and though none have been found to give complete satisfac tion, the test will be continued. Two material changes may be expected in whatever style is chosen. There will be no polished spike at the top, nor will the helmet itself be polished, per mitting the reflected rays of the sun to easily betray the position of the troops. At present this disadvantag is overcome, during maneuvers, by wrapping the helmet in canvas. Mecklenburg-Scherwiri has followed the example set by Reuss of the elder line, and adopted a law imposing an additional tax upon unmarried males. Unlike Russia's law, however, which taxes both men and women, the Meck lenburg law applies only to bachelors. dom year book has just been issued In that year there were, in a popula tion of about 4.500,000, 1,521 suicides reported, of which 358 were women. The cause given In 474 cases is des tpondency or "general weariness of life." Suffering from disease resulted in 262 suicides, while an "injured sense of honor" led 28 ipersons to make away with themselves. The Reichstag has passed a law to revive the shipping dues on German navigable rivers, which were abolished with enthusiasm about fifty years ago. The plan originates with Prus sia and is connected with the canal legislation of about ten years ago. In 1899 the Prussian government tried unsuccessfully to induce the Diet to pass a law providing for the construction of a canal to connect the Rhine with the Elbe, starting from near Dusseldorf on the Rhine, and reaching the Elbe near Magdeburg. The agrarian interests, which pre dominate in Prussian legislation, took alarm at the plan, believing that such a canal would facilitate the import of foreign grain into the heart of Ger many, and the bill was rejected. Sev eral years later, however, a compro mise bill iproviding for the building of the canal from the Rhine fo they will not provre a a point near Hanover was passed, but the agrarians attached a provision to the measure that it should not be put into operation until tolls had been rein troduced on all the navigable streams Of the Empire, intending this as a further measure for checking the shipment of imported grain into the interior. Thereupon the Prussion government set to work to obtain the co-operation of the other German states for tho passage of a law revi-ia? navigation dues. The assistance of Bavaria and Wiirtemberg was obtained by holding out hopes that the Ma and Neckar rivers would be improved in their up per course, so that those states would have the advantage of water commun ication with the sea. Hamburghcon sent was obtained by a trade of ter ritory necessary tor extending the city's hardbor area. In one important respect the new law fails to meet the expectations of the agrarians. In order to obtain the support of the other states for its plans, Prussia was obliged to fix the tolls at a very low figure, and hence very strong It is freely check to foreign gram, predicted bv the opponents to the plan that the rates as fixed will not yield nearly so much revenue as assumed by the government, and that they will have to be considerably increased if the promised improvement of the af fluents of the Rhine is to be carried out. Before this law can take effect it will bA necessary for the government to secure an agreement with Holland and Austria, with which countries Germany has treaties guaranteeing the freedom of navigation on the two streams mentioned, as both countries are strong!v opposed to bartering awav their treaty rights, it is by no means certain that the law will ever be put into operation.
