HOW TO DO IT.

There are some decided examples from
the other side of the Atlantic which it is
well for Pittsburg to study. The little
city of Newcastle-on-Tyne spent $50, ,O0O, 900
some years ago in digging out stream
which originally in some spots was not
more than two feet. The income from
that investment has since then been $2S,-
600, 900 while an Immensely larger sum has
been realized by the increase in trade and
the enhanced value Of property. The
CLYDE used to be fordable. GLASGOW ex-
pended $50, OO0, 900 on it and the improve
ment has yielded S4O,0O0,OO0 in revenue
and made Glasgow one of the shipping
centers of the world.
The same lesson might be deduced from
other European examples of ship canal
construction, but the two cited are suff1-
cient Pittsburg has it within her power
to effect much more positive results by
securing the expenditure of less sum.
Thirty million dollars in building
the Ohio river and Lake Erie
ship canal will add 30 cents to the value Of
every ton of coal in Western Pennsylvania
and will economize from 81 30 to 50 so per
ton on the manufacture of iron and steel.
That saving within the next three years
predicates by the next century a popula-
ton of over million people in these cities
and an industrial section from the She
mango Valley to Connellsville and Browns
vile of not less than three millions. 1t
means that this section will become in the
lifetime of men now well on in years the
iron and steel center Of the world.
nenect tnat tine Judlcious use of perhaps
$40, ,oOO,c00 as capital stock would secure
this work and stimulate the improvement
of the Ohio. Could Pittsburg find a more
profitable investment for that sum?

The Evil Days to Come.

Why is it that nine times out of ten the
men who engage in scientific research be-
come prophets of evil? a collection of the
predictions made by these people would af-
ford interest and amusement. Thu compi-
lation should of curse include Sir SidLey
Bell, who is responsible for the following:
at was formerly, say fifty years ago,
nothing uncommon for a new island to APP
pear above or an old one to disappear be-
meath the waves of the Pacific ocean. Such
occurrences were sometimes noted as often
as two or three times a year, and We're SO
common as to hardly excite comment
among navigators and scientists. OF late,
however, the Pacific has been pacific in
deed. 1t will be thirty-siX years thiss sum
mer since the last island disappeared, and
exactly a quarter of "A century since the
last new one popped up its head in the
greatest of oceans But this is ~ suspi-
cious silence, an omen of some monstrous
catastrophe. Dame Nature is simply rest
ing for IA mighty effort" Sir Sidney even
goes so far as to predict that the whole OF
New Zealand and the greater part of Aus
tralia will be engulfed before the end OF
the year 1925.

Curious Facts About Quito.

A contributor to the Reading Telegram.
who has Travelled in South America, de
clares that in II respect at least Quito
the capital of Ecuador, is the most unique
city in the world-it is situated in both
the northern n southern hemispheres, a
distinction claimed by no other place Of
Importance on the globe. At Quito the
sun rises and sets at u O'Clock the year
around. Nou may forget to wind your
watch while you are visiting the Ecuado
rian capital, out you need not hunt up d
regulator-set it when the sun rises or set'
and you will be sure to be right. Old So
makes no mistakes. In one part OF the
city the summer season does battle witt
old winter, who is just across the street
The seasons, so far AS names are concerned
change almost instantly, but as the tenn
perature is remarkably even, these curious
points are seldom thought of by the 5000
people who make Quito their home.
