We Owe the Hat to Asia.

We owe the hat to Asia, for it was III
that country that the art of telling wool
was first known and from the most re-
mote periods the art was carried on by
the orientals. In India, China, Burmah
and Siam hats are made of straw, of rat
tan, Of bamboo, of pith, of the leaf OF
the Tallport palm and of large variety
Of grasses. The japanese made their
hats of paper The modern hat can be
traced back to the petasurs Worn by the
ancient Romans when on journey, and
hats with brims We're also used by the
earlier Greeks.
1t was not until after the Roman con-
quest that the use of hats began in Eng
land. a hattie of biever,n about the
middle of the twelfth century, WAS Worn
by one Of the mobiles of the land. Frais-
sort describes hats and plumes which
were worn at Edwards court in 1910,
when the Garter order was instituted.

In an electric road recently construct
ed III England radical departure from
American methods has been made. a
trolley wire is suspended from arms pro
jecting from steel columns. No guy
wires are employed, as The steel wires
are especially designed to withstand ST.
we're strains. At the corners the trolley
wire, instead of following Il curve of the
same radius of the track, as in the Amer
lean systems, is turned on an angle, the
whole system depending on the feXibili-
ty Of the trolley arm, or side collector,
as it is called, which automatically en-
cages the trolley wire i'll any position
from two to twelve feet from the side of
the car.
Another change from American prac-
tice is the adoption of u pressure of only
$50 volts. The cars are only % feet long
and are equipped with two motors Of 10
brake horsepower, running at 400 revo-
buttons. philadelphia Press

The Pumps of tho Egyptian.

A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures Of
early Egypt 1t has the appearance of
and is gene rally believed to be that of a
portable pump. The hydraulic screw is
also attributed to this people, but their
main reliance seems always to have been
the Shadoof. seen everywhere along the
banks Of the Nile, an invention so sim
pie and so well adapted to their needs
that it remains today substantially the
same as it has through all the centuries
since history began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon, is III
such common use that every agricultural
laborer is in possession of one. Where
irrigation is conducted on larger scale
the chain pump is made proportionately
larger and moved by very simple tread
wheel and still larger ones are operated
by yoking buffalo or other animal to IA
suitable driving machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is Of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tons of fire to vessels containing water,
by which effects were produced calcu-
lated to astonish ignorant worshipers,
were practiced by the priests of Egypt
Greece and Rome, but their knowledge
seems never to have been turned into
any channel of secular usefulness En-

senator Stanford's Illness.

An intimate friend Of the Stanford
family relates an incident i'll the sena-
tors life in Washington; a policeman
on duty one evening on X street, within
a block of the Stanford residence at the
national capital, found man lying un
conscious on the sidewalk. He was
about to ring in an alarm for the patrol
wagon when gentleman came up and
recognized the unconscious man as Sen
ator Stanford. They succeeded in get
ting the senator into his house without
any one else knowing what had hap
pened, and nothing was ever said about
it. The first question the senator asked
when he regained consciousness was
whether the newspapers would know all
about it, and he appeared to be greatly
relieved when he learned that it had
been kept a secret. The gentleman who
knew Of this incident said that the sena
tors sudden death WAS no surprise to
him. San Francisco Chronicle.

Bangor Wing; The income tax i not
new to American experience. Of,all
the forms of severe taxation tried dur
ING the war it proved the most offensive
and unpopular. Theoretically, those
pay an Income tax who are best able to
pay. Practically, those pay who cannot
conceal their sources of income. and
particularly those engaged in important
commercial and industrial operations,
whose gains are at once applied to the
expansion of business and production
and the development of resources, Bur
dens Imposed on them necessarily lessen
the resources applicable to industrial
growth. The man who is living in idle
ness on the interest of his money finds it
comparatively easy to evade tax on
incomes by concealing his bonds, stocks,
mortgages and title deeds.

We have had financial panies before,
especially the one of 1873. The char
acteristic of these is that they caused
numerous and heavy failures, without
general arrest of productive industries.
Also we have had industrial panics be-

which for time arrested a large share
of the Nations productive force. But
