Each year since the war has shown a steady increase in the number of books borrowed at the New Jersey college. There has developed a decided des mand for works classified as belles- lettres, biography, travel, history and sclence. The same phenomenon bas been manifest here. The demand for biography, history and travel first attracted attention during the war, and the interest in them that was then displayed has been main- tained. " The war immensely broadened the horizon of the reading public. It created a thirst for knowledge. This thirst for information is a whole- some sign. We may expeot to see it titude on public questions and in better understanding of the issues which the voters are called upon to decide. ---- OCEAN AFBROPLANE SERVICE. Ever since two British aviators were successful, some two years ago, in making a trip across the Atlantic, there have been varions plans moot- ed for the establishment of regular trafic by aeroplane from Europe to this continent. Strange to say, there Tas not been any further attempt made to fly across this ocean, but this does not mean that the idea of linking the two continents by a rapid air route has been abandoned. On the contrary, the matter has been under constant consideration by cer- tain engineers and aeroplane ex- perts, until, it has just been an- nounced, there is a definite proposal on foot for the inauguration of a regular air service from Great Brit- ain to the United States. The plan which has been under consideration, and which is now prac- tically completed, is for a daily sea- plane service from the port of Ply- mouth, England, to Atlantic City. A Philadelphia engineer has been put in charge of the completion of the plans, and to indicate how thorough they will be before they are definite- ly put into operation, he states that it will be three years before the ser- vice will start. When it starts, a fleet of one hundred and twenty sea- planes, each carrying from twenty to thirty passengers, will be required to carry out the scheme. The At- lantic ocean will be dotted with great landing stations about four hundred in constant -- 1 unication with these and the shi It is esti- mated that a regular trip, including calls at these stations, which will probably take the form of huge an- chioféd floats, will occupy about thirty hours, while a non-stop ex- press trip will be made in seventeen hours. ; It does not, at the present era, re- quire a very great stretch of imagi- nation to picture this service in oper- ation. Great strides have been made during the past few years in the con- quest of the air, and although spec- tacular deeds have been lacking since the close of the great war, in- dustrial and commercial interests 'have been working steadily to make tances like that across the Atlantic ocean.. The degree of safety neces. sary is a very high one, but appar ently the manufacturers have over- come the obstacles in the way, and are prepared to launch the ambitious great continents of the world within a day's distance of each other. When the Mauretania and Lusitania oross- ed the Atlantic in a little over four and a half days, it was felt that the limit had been reached in speedy cross-Atlantic travel. That record has stood for many years, and will stand until the seroplane makes it possible for a man to leave England one night and baye dinner in New York the next, It is apparent that this day is not far distant, and it the speeding up of business is of real benefit to the world, or to the countries concerned, then the appli- oation of the aeroplane to -cross-At- lantic travel will be a big step ahead aeroplane travel safe for longer dis- | find that most of her national troub- les have disappeared. DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. Truth is very often stranger than fiction, and from London comes a story which is stranger then many of the most fantastic tales ever in- vented by the most imaginative novelists. It is simply a reprodue- tion, in real life, of the story which is 50 well protrayed by Robert Louis Stevenson of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It came to light through the arrest and confession of a young soldier, John V. Ison, on a oharge of setting fire to a number of bufld- ings in the e¢ity of London during a period which has spread over the Past two years. In that time, the po- Hee and fire departments of London have been puzzled by the frequent recurrence of fites, many of them causing large, amounty of damage, and all of them showing signs of incendiary origin. Now the truth has come out by the confession of this young soldier that he started all of them. No less than thirty-one myst- erfous conflagrations have been mentioned in the confession which he has quite frankly made, and the people of London are amazed by the manner in which he has told the story of his crimes. Ison seems to be a man of dual personality. From all accounts, while in his right senses, he was a kindly, Mkable young fellow, a good mixer in company, a musician of much talent who was looked up to by his friends as a fine type of young man. The testimony of those who have been close to him for the past féw years all tends to show that he was of more than average intell- gence, and was what might be call- ed a model citizen. But there was an- other side to his nature, and when it was uppermost, he was an entirely different person. He had what he calls "an uncontrollable impulse -to see things burn, " and when that im- pulse came upon him, everything cise was forgotten, and he went out and set fire to some building. He watched the flames and the struggle of the firemen to extinguish them, and, that accomplished, he became his normal self, and crept to his home to once more become the model young man he was before the impulse seized him. i It is a good thing for London that his career has been brought to a close, and much credit is due to the sergeant who 'was responsible for bringing him to justice and securing his confession. He is now awaiting sentence for the crime to which he hes pleaded guilty, in a place where he will not be able to give rein to the impulse which dominated him. But it is a. question whether of not the Jalil or penitentiary is the pro- per place for such a man. He was more the victifl of impulses Which controlled him that he was an actual criminal. While the medical men who examined him found him sane in all other respects, there was in his make-up a strange flaw which found its outlet in incendiarism. The mag- fstrate who has to decide on dispos- ing of the man has a ticklish task before him, and while Justice might demand that he must be treated as a criminal, it might be Just as well were he treated as one of those un- fortunate beings who suffered from diseases of the mental facilities and are treated accordingly, PRESS COMMENT Work, The Solution.

It it weren't for science war would be as picturesque and "pillling" as it was in the middle ages, a more or less harmless pastime, rather than a deadly system of wholesale killing. The way to get perpetual peace is to force science and scientific ambi- tions, by the power of public opin: fon, into exclusively industrial chan: nels; in brief, to make Industrial re- search as profitable as martial re- search.-- Vancouver Sun. 2 » nina.
