From time 70 time this subject gets a
hearing in the daily pap9r8 and the
magazines, and none Of them is long ST
lent concerning ii. tt is tolerably GER
tain that the beginning o. tho twentieth
century will see the ocean tides harness
cd and yielding power to operate the
machinery Of d whole city IS we'll as to
furnish light and fuel for it. It is only
q question Of the construction Of q ma
chine which shall be operated by the
rise and fall Of the bleakers. This ma
chine will generate electricity, a wire
will carry the current wherever it is
wanted, and there it can be easily trans
formed into light, heat O power.
Mr.. George L. Walsh thinks that in
stead Of transmitting power by wire
from Niagara to New York and Brook
lyn itwould not be q whit more e1pen-
eive to tap the tides and get the eleo-
tricity from their motion. Eo believes
the current could be stored at the time
the tides were highest and be kept to
use when they were lowest. Plants Of
machinery on the waters edge in the
vicinity of the two cities would il time
do away with the need Of any coal or
steam. The carefully insulated electric
wire, passing through a conduit under
the street, would convey power to the
machine shop and heat and light to the
home. That is what all the cities may
look forward to.

School Children and Music.

That Americans can make music is
proved by the fact that this country has
produced some leading professional sing
ers. Nevertheless our system Of teaching
children to sing in the public schools
has for sOIn0 reason been little else than
a failure. It has not taught young peo-
pie to read music at sight generally. It
has not mellowed their voices from the
hard, somewhat shrill cackle complain
ed of by unsteady cultivated foreigners
who listen to our public school singing.
The musical teaching in our public
schools lasts long enough and costs
enough to make the children good sing
ers, yet it has thus far failed to make
any permanent impression.
The reason probably is that the chill
dren's love for music is not developed.
The popular musical taste Of the coun-
try has not advanced beyond the Moody
and Sankey hymns and the trashy variety
airs. So far as real music goes the COM
mon variety song contains about as
much Of it as the queer, discordant notes
that pass for music among the Chinese,
yet it is Whlstled on the streets, played
by the nickel in the slot machine, and
very often sung to piano music in re-
fined homes. A large proportion of our
people believe these rattly airs to be
music.
The public schools are the agency by
which the Americans can be made a
musical people. That the teaching of
singing in them thus far has been gen.
orally a failure proves only that the
right methods have not been found yet.
1t certainly seems to have been discover
ed and utilized in the schools of DIED.
ham and Brookline, Mass. 1t has ad-
vanced SO far there that the pupils are
able to read difficult music at sight.
They have also, with the assistance Of
professional soloists, been able to per-
form such great compositions as "The
Messiah" Orchestras of both wind and
stringed instruments are maintained sue
~cessfrlly by the pupils. What these
Massachusetts towns have done any 9TH
er town, city Or village in America can
do. Now is the time to begin.

The process Of driving g dog mad in
the streets of our cities and villages is
al interesting one. A hapless canine
gets lost. He wanders around helplessly.
A boy heaves a stone at him and hits
him. He bowls and runs. All the boys
in the neighborhood throw stones at
him. He rum till he is exhausted. Truck
drivers slash him with their cruel whips.
He lodges wildly about, beset and tor
tured by all mankind, trying to escape
his prosecutors. Foam begins to drop
from his poor dumb lips. The cry of
mad dog is raised. The whole town sets
Oh him. At length, in his frenzy and
agony, he turns and snaps at a fellow
who has given him a kick. Policemen
then attack him with their clubs and
revolvers and riddle him with bullets
and beat his brains out.

The enlisted soldiers at Fort Sheridan
who lodged complaints against their su-
perior officers for making them do duty
as Wallets and domestic servants have the
sympathy Of the people Of this whole
country. There exists exactly as much
reason why a captain in the regular
army should black a private soldiers
shoes as there is why the private soldier
should black the captains shoes. Amer
lean citizens enlist in the army to fight,
not to wash officers dishes and clean Of
fcers' clothes. By an act Of justice,
which should long ago have been accom-
plished IN this free republic, pIivate sol
diers Of education, military ability and
bravery, are now PUT i'll the direct line
of promotion for even the highest Offices
in the army Of the United States. Il
will look Well, will it not, for a griz-
ely, gruf old colonel hereafter to be
messing with a dashing young captain
or lieutenant who used to black his shoes
and clean his clothes? Down with the
whole wretched army officer %aristocracy
system! Everything that serves to give
it another kick is to be commended. The
enlisted soldier owes duty to. his coun-
try. He OWES the strictest obedience to
his officers in respect to military mat
tiers. Outside of that he may be and
sometimes is more Of a gentleman than
the officer who commands him. Let US
have no arjatccracy except that Of good
character, brains and gentle breeding in
America.
