The December Cosmopolitan.

In view of the fact that Sir Edwin
Arnold will very likely be the next poet
laureate, one turns with interest to his
most entertaining article in the Decem-
Der Cosmopolitan on Japanese Water
ing place" The same number contains
seven portraits of Tennyson and inter
esting views of his late home and sur
roundings. Thomas German has pene-
trated the mysteries of the silent trap
pists' monastery with profane kodak;
Murat Halstead discusses "Varieties
of American Journalism" Hermann
throws Light on the Black Art and
Theodore Roosevelt and Maurice Thomp
son each contribute interesting articles.
A feature of the number is twenty-four
portraits of Partisan journalists, with
sketches of their work. A curious bit
is found in the contrast of the double
frontispieces which adorn the magazine
ON one side the marvellous painting of
"The Conquerors," by Fritel, which at
traeted so so much attention at the last
Paris salon, and on the other "Tbe Con-
quered," by Anton Dietrich; in the one
the heroes of war moving down the Wis
ia of the centuries in mafinifcent array
between CHASTITY lines of naked corpses,
the other the unfortunate of all times
and lands f1ocking beneath the gentle
hand of the loving Christ. The Cosnao-
politan will mark its first edition of
10000 copies-that for January-by
the offer of 1000 free scholarships. In
return for introducing the Cosmopolitan
into certain neighborhoods the Cosnao-
poiitan offers to any young man or
woman free tuition, board, lodging and
laundry at Yale, Vassar, Howard, or
any of the leading colleges, schools of
art, music, medicine, or science. They
send out pamphlet on application tell
ing how to obtain one of these fine schol-
arships.

Mr.. J. p. BLAZE, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, mar
rowly escaped one of the severest attacks
of Pneumonia while in the northern part
of the State during recent blizzard,
says the Saturday ReojeoO. Mr.. Blaize
had occasion to drive several miles dur
ing the storm and was so thoroughly
chilled that he was unable tn get warm,
and inside of an hour after his return
he was threatened with a severe case of
Pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Blaize
sent to the nearest drug store and got a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
of which he had often heard, and took a
number of large doses. He says the
effect was wonderful and in short time
he was breathing quite easily. He kept
on taking the medicine and the next
day was able to come to Des Moines.
Mr.. Blaize regards his cure as simply
wonderful. For sale by Patterson &

MORE THAN ONE THEORY,

The Philadelphia Times, In a spirit of
uncemplimentary reference to Mr. David
Martin, of Philadelphia, says that he is
wanted in New York "to mature plans
and execute Republican frauds.
This may be correct judgment based
on close knowledge of the employment in
the Democratic cause of the Tammany
heelers and the lights of the Democratic
ring from Baltimore. The conviction of
the enormity of having men about Re-
publican headquarters of kindred charac-
ter to those who flock to Democratic head
quarters, as matter of course, Is an in
voluntary tribute to the higher standard
of political morals expected of Republican
management
Nevertheless it might have been fair for
the Times to have given some considera-
ton to the theory that Mr.. David Martin
is wanted in New York, where Tammany
methods hold sway, on the principle of
t'set thief to catch thief

STEAM AND ELECTRICITY,

An article by Ar. George Westinghouse
in the New York Railroad Gazette on the
relative utility of steam and electric power
confirms byhigh and expert authority an
opinion frequently advanced in these COL
umns. That's, that it is not within the pres
ent sphere of electricity to supplant steam
locomotives on long distance lines
Mr.. Westinghouse addressed himself to
the relative cost of the two methods, and
the most telling comparison is in the cost
of putting the two motors into operation.
The modern locomotive for high speed is
rated by MI. Westinghouse at 1000 horse
power and costs $4,000. The electric
plant, including steam boiler, steam en-
gine, electric generator and electric mo-
tor, is rated by Mr.. Westinghouse at a
cost of sS1, 600, making the initial cost
eight times as great The difference does
not stop here; but the further disadvan-
tage appears in Mr.. Westinghouse's fig
ures. To produce the same results as
1900 h. p. locomotive, he includes in
the electric plant a 1000 b. p. boiler,
engine and generator and 1,4OO b. p.
| motor. In other words, steam power in a
locomotive applies its whole force to the
work; in its conversion into electricity
and its transmission Is to 25 per cent of
the power is lost.
Electric power in its present stage has
an important function. Its capability for
transmission and distribution, its adapta-
bility to street railway transit and its
invisibility and cleanliness make it useful
in thousands of places where steam is
practically impossible, but where large
power constantly applied is needed it is
still far from the economy and usefulness
of steam. 1t is not likely to supplant
steam, except in the uses where invisibili-
ty, cleanliness, subdivision and noiseless-
ness are desired, until there is some new
discovery of means to generate it at a
greatly reduced price.

will contribute their mite to the climatic
influences exerted by forests, retaining the
moisture, regulating the flow of water
through the streams, and distributing the
rains throughout the season. All of these
benefits are to be derived from the simple
work of planting yearly trees in furrow
run through waste ground, with view to
the future, instead of being governed by
the national vice Of doing nothing except
that which is expecssd to yield return
next year or the year after.
Such a utilization of barren mountain
slopes is to be commended and encour-
aged. The State should give its aid by re-
leasing from taxes all land suitable for
forestry, and imposing its taxes rather on
the timber which is cut from our rapidly
dwindling woods
