THE SALVATION ARMY.

LID Dh1NhllON hpuIs
The Salvation army trouble is a
mixed up affair. There are two or
| more influences at work creating
the present conditions, and the
blame is not wholly with the head
quarters in England. This organi.
cation is largely fashioned on the
plan OF the old Roman army, in
that it requires blind unreasoning
obedience on the part Of all subor-
dinates. 1t is expected that every
commander and subaltern will be
as the centurion's, who was a man
under authority, saying to this one,
come and he cometh, to that one,
60 and he goeth, ana to his
servant do this and he doeth 1t.
The intention Of this is to preserve
the individuality Of the army,
and not that of any OF its officers.
The one aim is to prevent any
officer being localized sc as to
have a personal following. Bal
lington Booth in this country has
gone beyond this original intent
of the Salvationists. He is locally
popular, and in himself stands for
what it is intended the army alone
should stand for. This is not &C.
ceptable to the headquarters at
London, and he Is recalled. Not
only 30, he has conformed the
operations here to the Amer
lean idea, and thus nationalized
1t in q sense. Not more so how
ever than has been done in other
where the army has
pushed its operations. But as this

Ballington Booth has not done.
He has not made the movements
Of the army here so specifically
conform to the English modes as
was thought best, and for this
reason also he is to retire from
this field. Then again, his old

hold. Ballington's English brother,
also, seems to feel that the Ameri-
can commander is feeling his oats
a little too much, and in the
absence of the father in the far
is playing the part of the
elder brother with a vengeance.
All these things combine to make
the situation interesting, p~articu-
larly to those who are at all in
sympathy with the Salvationist
movement. What the outcome
will be no n can now say, but if
the American wing of the army
secedes from the English center,
then 1t is the beginning of the end
of the Salvation army.

ing, had been forced to acquire hand
very different from that taught in the
schools. They held their pens differ
emily, and assumed a position at their
desks other than that which they had
been taught. A study of the best spec
linens of these business hands showed
that the writers had gone back to the
simple, round, Roman-like characters,
which many teachers claimed as ma
tural to young children. These bust
ness men sat Immediately in front of
their desks, their hands taking the
most natural position. On these facts
the system of vertical writing was
based.
1t has spread through England and
Canada. And is required of all appli
cants for positions under the British
government. From Canada it came to
the United States and is now employed
to some degree in the public schools Of
many of the larger cities of the north
ern, eastern and southern states. In
the New York and Boston schools, the
privilege of choosing between several
text books and systems selected by the
board of commissioners is allowed the
principal OF each school. AS a result
both the sloping and vertical systems
are taught in the public schools of
these cities. Though a majority of the
principals and teachers after a fair
trial favor the vertical. They claim
that it is the easiest to read, the easiest
to write, and the easiest to learn. That
it admits of the most hygienic position,
the most natural movement and the
greatest raDidity.
The position required is with the
body straight before the desk. and the
copy set squarely in front Of the writer.
Both hands rest on the desk and the
pen is held so that both points Of the
nib are used. The movement is Of the
fingers, and not of the arm, as in the
oblique system. Hence it is asserted
that the effort is more natural and less
fatiguing. 1t is also claimed that it is
helped by the study and practice of
short hand and drawing, the position
and manner of holding the pen being
the same.
A prominent teacher principal Of
public school in New York city, which
has a reputation for the excellency Of
its penmanship, when interviewed

the teachers part seemed to improve
it materially. ] visited other schools,

ticed that a child naturally makes
round letters, and that the greatest
fault teachers have to overcome is the
child's unwillingness to keep the proper
slant of their copy book and the re-

the vertical system and determined TO
try it in some of the rooms. In three
months time there was such a marked

ELECTRIC LAMPS.
Interesting Information Concerning
Manufacture of the Globes.


The incandescent lamp consists of a,
flament Of carbon, attenuated to give
high resistance, enclosed in a receiver
made Of glass, from which the air is
exhausted, the conductors being sealed
through the glass and connected with
the filament. Edison searched the
world over for materials for this fila
ment, and hit upon bamboo, which
was imported as dunnage from the
east, evenly cut into fine splinters, and
then carbonized. To produce this lamp

lished at Harrison, n. j., now employ
