G UN BO AT BENNINGTON. The explosion on the United States gunboat Bennington at San Diego, In which one officer and more than fifty men were killed, has been attributed to a defect In the boiler. The discussion o f the disaster shows a tendency toward putting the blame on a bad system rather than upon mere acciden tal carelessness o f individuals, says the San Francisco Argonaut It is pointed out that the act of 1899 amalgamated engineer officers with line officers in response to a general demand, inspired by social considerations. Engineers didn’t like to be called engineers, and so a law was passed trans forming them to ensigns, lieutenants, etc. But those line officers soon showed tendencies toward shouldering the more practical duties of their positions upon their subordinates, the warrant machinists, they themselves merely bossing the Job. But good warrant machinists are scarce; trained engineers are scarce. In six years the number of trained engineers has diminished from 181 to about 120. Fifty-seven of these are on shore duty. Thus, it Is said, the engine rooms of our vessels are under manned. Eight years ngo the Bennington carried two trained engineer officers, one of whom had had twenty-three years’ experience. The officer in charge of the Benning ton's engines on the date of the explosion was a youth not yet 20, grad uated from Annapolis in 1902. It is said, further, that there were no war rant machinists on the Bennington— only machinists' mates, who get $40 to $70 a month. The Army and Navy Journal admits that the law of 1899 has "impaired engineer efficiency throughout the navy.” It 1« reported in German newspaper* that the Chinese government has re cently granted its Brat patent. It is for an electric lamp invented by a na tive of Nanking, who claims that he has far outdone his foreign rivals, and who calls bia lamp, with that touch o f poetry which Is more common to the Chinese mind than people who know only the “ John Chinaman" of America Imagine, "bright moonlight." The recent classification at the Brit ish Patent Office shows that cooking Is the popular subject of Invention having been the subject of 3,57$ Brit ish patents in forty-eight years, or an average o f seventy-three a year.

Much interest has been awakened among naturallata by tha dlacovary of a speclaa of white or polar bear living Inland In tha northweetern part of Brttlah Columbia. A mounted speci men haa been In poaeeaalon of the Car negie Museum for nine years, but only lately waa Its true character recog nised. It had bean regarded ae aa alhlae black bear, bat William T. Hornaday has shown that It la really a species of the white polar bear. The specimen Is 4Vi feet long and 27 Inches In height. No living bear of this spe cies la In captivity, bnt efforts are now making to capture one or more for the New Tork Zoological Fark. Tea drinking Is an acquired habit, and M. Jules Rudolph expresses the belief that It would not be difficult to transfer our liking for Chinese tea to any one of various infusions having the same effect in aiding dlgeatlon and stimulating the nervous system. Some of these lnfuslona of leaves and flow ers have been known to us as medi cines. Camomile, veronica, sage, am brosia, horsemlnt and wintergreen are among the locally well known of many common plants yielding agreeable teas, and Paraguay tea and false tea are already much used In South America. M. Rudolph looks upon Roman camo mile as an especially promising tea substitute. He has found the unknown tea o f the tarragon to be very pleas ant. and it is useful In stomach weak ness.
