Uses Of Compressed, Air.

Quietly but steadily new rival to
steam is coming into popular favor. It
is compressed air. The claim is made
for it indeed that it will do anything
steam will. It certainly can be made to
propel street cars The thing has been
done, but whether it is commercially
feasible has not yet been sufficiently
tested. If practicable then, the COM
pressed air car will in time supplant the
electric and grip cable car, and there
will be no slot, no trolley wires, moth
ing but steel tanks Of compressed air,
which will discharge their contents in a
steady breeze upon the car wheels and
mako them spin around.
There are machine shops already in
which every particle of power comes
from this force. Leather belts and shaft
ing are dispensed with. The air is con-
veyed i'll pipes from one floor to another
and to every machine By the aid of
piston, valve, treadle and cutoff the
power is regulated SO that it can be
made to work even a chisel in stone cut
ting. At the World s fair the buildings
which have passed into history under
the name of the White City were all
painted by compressed air. The air first
drove the paint through pipes to the
place where it was wanted, then spray
ed it evenly over the wood with incon-
ceivable rapidity. Corrugated roofs and
iron plates for bridges and buildings are
painted in the same way. Holes in large
rocks are drilled by the atmospheric
pressure.
One Of the most notable uses to which
this power has been applied is the sweep
ing and busting of cars and car furniture
after a long railway trip. The air is
conveyed through those pipes exactly as
water is. When opposite a dusty cushion
or window casing the nozzle is opened
and q terrific blast Of wind released,
which blows the dust off smooth and
clean. In Paris, where this agent is
coming commonly into use, it is sup
piled through pipes under the streets,
like gas, and sold to factories It would
be an admirable agent for cooling and
changing the air in American houses in
hot weather.

The United States agricultural de-
partment has distributed through con-
gressmen 600,0 of the farmers bull
letins prepared by men who understand
scientific soil culture and live stock
breeding. It is not worth while to
sheer at these bulletins. In the pres
ent depressed state Of agriculture every
aid to the farmer ought to be well
coined, and these bulletins certainly
contain much information that is val
liable to him. If the farmer had more
wealth and political influence, the
same sneerers would commend in high
terms all that is done for him. The bull
letins on live stock feeding and the
dairy industry are among those that
will help him to better his condition, if
he heeds the information contained in
them.

By May next the infantry of the regu-
lar army will be completely equipped
with the new small bore magazine rifle
Of 80 caliber. Besides the new rifles,
the army will have in various parts of
the country 246, field and siege guns,
mortars and howitzers, ranging in size
from 80 to Z inches in caliber. By the
end Of this year there will be six new
dynamite guns, three for New York and
three for San Francisco, and we shall
have of additional new guns 10 10 inch
cannon and 81 10 inch mortars for de-
Tending our coasts. There will be also IS
10 inch cannon and 20 of inch caliber.
The United States will then be in toler-
ably good condition for the peaceful ar
bitration Of differences with other ma
lions.

In view Of the economic changes, mil
ionaire fortunes, great Industrial cor
porations, etc., that have come upon the
scene since the United States constitu-
tion was adopted, would the fathers, if
they could come back and make the con-
stitution over again, frame it exactly as
they did before? Undou btedly they
would not For one thing they would
make it Enthusiastically clear whether all
income tax were constitutional or not.
Undoubtedly if a majority of them, in
their new reincarnation, were million
aires, they would put into the supreme
law Of the land provision for all time
against an income tax. If, on the other
hand, they came back as poor as they were
the other time, then they would insert a
clause allowing an income tax to be
levied when the country was hard up
and getting deeper into debt every day.

An AgnOstlc's Cry.

A writer in the London Agnostic
Journal utters aloud the despairing ques-
ton that lies unspoken in the minds Of
thousands of men and women today
there is nothing in this life, nothing at
all-is there anything beyond? Many of
those who have found this life so unsat-
isfactory are among the most intelligent
the earth's best and truest souls, those
who have done their duty according to
their lights all their lives. Yet they find
that others not half so earnest in the
pursuit Of truth as they are far better
off, far happier. If happiness is the end
and aim of life, how does this come? It
is all middle and tangle.
The writer in the London Agnostic
Journal says:
There always have been those, and now they
are more numerous than ever, who maintain
that the dead do return. Far be it from me to
dogmatically negative the assertions Of honest
and earnest men engaged in the study of sub
ject so awful, SO reverent, solemn, where
the student stands with a foot on each side of
the boundary line between two worlds We
know a little Of the hither, can we know aught
of the thither world?
They know little who are robed in univer.
sity gowns What know they who are robed
in shrouds? We gather but little from the plat
form. What we learn from the grave2 The
wisdom Of the press is foolishness Is there 10
voice from the sepulcher2 It is we, not you, who
are in darkness, o ye dead! The splendor of
the iris Of eternity has flashed on your plane
OF vision, but our heavy eyelids droop in the
shadow of the nimbus of time Can you tell
us naught? Can we never know your secret till
in the dust we lay down our bones with yours?
We are here in the care, the poverty, the sin,
and, above all, in the darkness. Oh, if ye can,
have mercy on us! Shed ray from your She
kinah light athwart the wilderness Of our des
olation. We are trodden down by our brothers
among the living Help US, our fathers, from
the dead!

Inheritance and Income Taxes.

OF interest to Americans at present
will be Lord Playfair's paper on this
subject in The North American Review.
He calls attention to the fact that for the
first time in English history the budget
recently prepared by Sir William Har-
court, chancellor Of the excheuuer.
"makes a bold and permanent applica-
tion Of the principle that large estates,
both personal and real, should pay death
duties in proportion to their size.'' In
accordance with this idea, Sir Williams
scheme provides that the person who in
herits $500 shall pay to the government
/ per cent, or SIS. One inheriting prop
erty worth SIS, 900 must pay the govern
ment 500 on taking possession. An es-
tate worth $50, 900 must pay per cent,
and so on. An estate Of $4,000, 900 is
taxed per cent, and tho inheritor must
therefore pay to the British government
$500, 900. What cry would be raised
in this country if such tax should be
attempted!
In England Lord Playfair tells us it
is plainly understood principle that
the rich must pay taxes in greater pro-
portion than the poor. They must pro-
cure licenses for keeping carriages, for
displaying armorial bearings and even
for the right to have footman with
powdered hair. There seems to be no
question about the Justice Of the prin-
ciple.
Lord Playfair affirms that the income
tax scheme, both in the United States
and Great Britain, plainly contemplates
a graduated scale. In America under the
new tax law all incomes below $4,000
are exempt In England all above $500
are taxed. It is to be noted that Lord
Playfair says: "These changes in the sys-
tenn of English taxation have not been
made without violent opposition by the
wealthy classes. The adoption Of gradu-
alton is a sign that democracy has
largely increased its power in English
politics. He further declares that if
accumulated wealth is unwilling to pay
public expenses according to ability it
will lead to disastrous results in the
way Of increasing popular belief in the
wild rawlings Of communists and an
archists. This growing tendency in
duced the Liberal government of Great
Britain to concede progressive death
duties. Lord Playfair says wealthy peo-
pie could transmit estates intact to their
heirs by getting their lives insured for
enough to cover the death duties. He
also quotes this saying Of the Earl of
Derby: II have learned more and more
forcibly the uselessness, to put it on no
other ground, of attempting to resist
the progress of popular ideas, and l
have come to think moro and more
highly of the moderation, the fairness
and the general Justice with which the
masses Of men, including all conditions
of life, are disposed to use their power :"
