recently used experimentally for night
signaling at Pottsdam, Germany, with
interesting results. 1t has been found
that even in snow-laden atmosphere
the fash from three grams of mag
nesium powder was visible at dis
tance of about forty-six miles. BY the
addition Of small quantity of stron-
tium, or hthium salts, red light was
produced which could be seen even
further than the white flash.

Subsidies Iniure Shipping.

Subsidies are essentially al objsctionab le
feature Of national legislation. Yet there
is no denying that the most conscientious Of
us are to some slight extent affected in our
judgment of such things by the pc sonality
Of the projectors and the purpose 10 which
a subsidy is 70 be iput Therefore we can
not be so implacably opposed TO that Gould
Inman subsidy TO start a transatlantic
steamship line from Savannah, as if the benz
eft was to be derived wholly by outsiders,
and the improvements were to accrue TO
some other city. Nevertheless we know
that such a subsidy is bad Legislation based
upon an unwise governmental policy that
only tends to inspire and foster weak re-
lance upon the national government for
improvements that should be inaugurated
and maintained by private capita, as an
individual or corporate enterprise founded
wholly upon the natural development of
business for its ultimate success
Legislation of friendly character and
tending to impartially foster such private
enterprises as may be built upsis what
American shipping needs much more than
the subsidies that discriminate in favor
Of the Influential. There has certainly
been enough ignorant and bad lesis-
lation on the subject Of American shipping
TO warrant the New York Maritime Regis-
ter in saying, that the absence from the
House and Senate Of any men practically
and thoroughly acquainted with shipping
matters leaves cor gress without any guide
whatever in legislating understandingly for
the merchant marine" But whether there
IS as much force in the statement that eff
shipowners and those connected in various
ways with our shipping expect to secure
the much needed legislation they must send
their own representatives to congress" is an
open question.
Legislation Of the most useful and practi-
cal character does not usually come from
those for whose benefit i. Is devised. In fact it
rarely does. For they generally know a
good deal more about the technique of their
own occupations than about framing laws
even for their own advantage or protection.
Instance the Maritime Registers very prop
er opposition to subsidies, while tho aver
age shipowner in congress would be strongly
inclined to favor subsidies on general prin-
ciples, for the merely selfish reason that
they might some time prove advantageous to
his personnel interests Yet many OF g
more thoughtful shipOwners are now firmly
opposed to subsidies, as an unwise and alto
gether injurious policy.

Travel Becomes More Attractive.


Evolution continues to evolute Develop.
ment in the convenience and luxury and
magnihcence Of railway travel continu es
to develop. From the original small begin
ming to the present palatial vestlbuled draw
ing room train OF the Southern Fast Mail
has been gradual graduation of constant
improvement. But it is not to stop there
Within the past few days the great Penn
sylvania system has announced that its
management mas devised an elaborate
scheme under the operation of which a
society lady may be picked up at her resi-
dence in Philadelphia and set down in
New York ballroom without so much as
soiling her satin slippers.
Time between the two great cities is
to be literally annihilated, they tell us.
Then when the fair traveller arrives at
Jersey City she will be transferred upon a
carpeted raised vestibule way to the upper
part of double-decked ferryboat, from
which she will be likewise transferred over
a similarly elegant elevated corridor with
out ascending or descending a stair direct
TO the door of a handsome carriage stand
ing under shelter, which will then take her
to the curb in front of her destination, which
she will reach through a carpeted canvas
canopy with almost as little exertion as
is required to go from one part of house
to another. That is reducing the fatigue
and discomfort of travel to a minimum.
But so very elaborate an arrangement, with
all of the amazing elegance of appointments
and decoration, will probably come high.
Only the very rich will be able TO indulge
to any considerable extent in that sort of
luxurious modern improvement in travel
Still it appears very wonderful.
But just here comes in another exemplif-
cation of the perversity of human nature
and its disheartening tendencies.
Life's dissppointments are accurately
described in the familiar lines:

Ate All but the Bone and Tail. -

The way in which children put things is often
very droll from the association of ideas which it
shows must exist in their Inind-, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. They have so much to learn
that it is no wonder that iu takes them a great
while to separate their ideas, SO as TO keep
things from being jumbled up in their thoughts
and in their speech.
In a San Francisco kindergarten one day the
teacher distributed little basket of cherries
which had been sent in by friend, and so many
were the children that there proved TO be but
one cherry for each child.
1t is the rule that when there is any treat of
this sort the children shall wait unil all are
ready. On this occasion, however, one small
boy positively could not restrain his eagerness
and the teacher saw him nibbling at the dainty
before the word was given
Johnny" she said, pleasantly, 81 am afraid
you have eaten your cherry"
He opened a little grimy fist, disclosing the
stem and stone OF the departed fruit.
Yes, MN, " he answered cheerfully, i've
eaten all but the bone and the tail.

There was trouble at those three stations the
next day, and three faces were seen no more on
those platforms.

Love Is a Star.

from the Near YORK Truth
What is more subtle than love,
Easing Of mind and of heart,
Sent by the gods from above,
Making the warm blood to start,
Peace to descend like dove;
What is more subtle than lover
Love is a star
Wereach for in vain!
Stars when they fall
Arise not again.
What is more cursed than love,
Roobing the great world of rest,
Sent by some devil TO prove
Each woman'S oath but q lest.
Each woman's face but snare,
Set in its meshes of hair?
Love is a star
We reach for in vainl
Stars when they fall
Arise not again.
What is more certain than this,
No man has gone down to his death
Unknown to some fond woman's kiss.
Some sudden, quick pulsing of breath,
Ere he grows 10 the dust and the clay,
Ere ne quits the fair portals of day.
Love is a star
We reach for in vainl
Stars when they fan
Arise not again.

Since life is as certain as fate,
Asking every emotion earth gives.
ASKING love for its joys or its hate,
Twere better Ii Q were not too long.
Lest be live till the end of the song
Closes In on the weary refrain,
Lost stars may not kindle again.
