Cost of an Armor Plate Plant.


If latest reports are to be credited. the
experts who are investigating the chances
for government armor plate manufacture
ing plant are getting at some figures which
rather surprise them. AS has been stated,
the commission appointed by the Navy
Department has been at work some time
and while nothing official has been given
out remarks seem to have been dropped
which indicate a great deal. The latest
unofficial Information Is that preliminary
estimate as to the cost of an armor plate
plant will be submitted to Secretary Long
within a few days. This estimate as has
been foreshadowed, will. from present in
dications, be more than $1,000, 600. The
commission will estimate that at least fifty
acres of ground will be necessary to ac-
commodate buildings, SO that the total cost
of the plant will be about $4.O00.O00. The
plant which they will suggest will be capa-
bic of turning out 5000 tons of armor each
year. This will be sufficient for two battle
ships. No statement will be submitted as
to the cost of operating such plant, but a
member of the commission is reported as
having said that the government would be
fortunate If it did not have to pay 500 or
$500 per ton for armor plate.
This is in conformity with opinions ex-
pressed by those who should know some
thing about the cost of making armor
plate. The government representatives
were told that to establish plant would
entail immense expense, and that the gov
eminent would be a loser by going into the
steel business. Now there are indications
that those who are conducting the investi-
cations believe that the cost of armor
plate made by the government will be sew
eral hundred dollars per ton more than the
highest figures asked by private manufac-
turers. There is every reason to believe
that government plant for the manufac-
ture of armor plate will never be built.

Teachers and Education.
10 RooEtnan


The true teacher is more than setter Of
tasks and nearer Of lessons; he is an in
fluence And his pupils are not, first of all,
students, but human beings. Hence, If
necessary. a teacher would be willing to
sacrifice something from his ideal. in the
matter of his own formal preparation. if by
doing so he can secure the far greater and
more important gifts of bodily and mental
health, steady nerves, a sense of balance
and proportion and profound and SYM
pathetic knowledge of his fellow men. No
one Is SO dreadfully in danger of gettiag
into a mental Tut, of becoming dogmatic
pedantic and priggish; and the antidote for
these things Is found in getting absolutely
away from his professional environment
for as long q time as possible each year
resting his nerves and brain, and, above
all. mingling with men and women whose
standards and interests are absolutely diff
ferent from his own. To go from his class
room to q place where the same old grind
in another form Is still going on, to make
one OF a crowd Of jaded, nervous sensitive
beings who are stewing in their own juice
and gambling over and over the formulas
Of the Educationist, so far from aeing n
stimulus and an inspiration, Is actually the
undoing of a teacher, and sends him back
to his work with a still further exhaustion
OF energy and enthusiasm and sympathy
So we say to the educator IL he be a man.
go on somewhere. anywhere, to the place
where education doesn't count: bivouac in
the woods with party of stockholders or
hobnob with down-east fishermen;an to the
woman teacher We recommend the society
of the most frivolous, giddy and f1irtatious
young girls who infest the myriad resorts
in summer. This will keep the balance
properly adjusted, replacing hysteria and
dizziness and nerves by a renewed invigora-
ticn. an augmented sense Of humor and a
saner and more highly developed insight
into human nature.

Ginning Bells on Bicycles.
From the Galveston News.


From the Galveston News.
couple of dozen young ladies' and gen.
tlemen of Galveston are responsible for a
most unique idea in bicycling. Just vino
thought out the scheme is not known, for
the credit is generally shared. The COM
pany is termed the bike bell ringers" and
1t sDrang into existence after the passage
Of the ordinance requiring wheelers to
carry lamps and to ring bells at all street
crossings. These bikers have fitted their
wheels with lamps of different hues and
with bells of 1iffereat tones. The idea is
to comply strictly with the law and at the
same time to have little theatrical eff
feet. The object of the law being to have
wheelmen give notice of their coming, that
object will certainly be attained in the case
of the bike bell ringers" for their aD-
proach is made known by the ringing out
of sweet music. They have been practic-
ing on the shell road out near the county
bridge, and thus far have given no exhibit
tons in town. A News man who had occa-
sion to go to the western part Of the city
last night vas fortunate enough to meet
the bike bell ringers on dress parade.
Affair down the road came the silent Steeds
with ever-changing lights. First group
of red lights headed the procession, then
came a group of red. white and blue, then
group Of green lights, fianked by red and
blue. And so the wheels and lights were
constantly changing, making beautiful eff
fects. AS the wheels drew nearer the Chin
ing Of the bells could be heard. First a
few bars were played from THE Chimes
of Normandy" then came Annie Laurie"
the ''Tinkle, Tinkle. Bells song from oil
vette,' and as the bikers passed on and
were lest in the distance the notes of
Home. Sweet Home" were heard.
The idea Is a pretty one, and If adopted
by others the bikers will be welcomed on
the streets for the harmony of sounds they
bring in lieu Of harsh and indiscrimnate
changing.

Gcrmany's Colonies.

From the New York Tribune.
Germany can scarcely be considered as
successful in her efforts to secure fame as
a colonzing power. The estimated cost OF
colonies for the coming year is fixed. &C
cording to the imperial budget, at s2.o0o.o0o.
in return for which she is able to point 10
1S03 coonists. all told, of which number
half are soldiers and officials. With regard
to the trade Germapy's exports to her col
onies do not amount to Sl,Jp.o0 per an
mum, so that from a business point Of view
the undertaking can scarcely be considered
as a profitable one. 1t is evident that the
fault lies with the German government
rather than with the German merchants.
The latter thrive and prosper to a phenom
email degree in the United States. and in all
those English colonies where initiative, en-
terprise and commerce are not submitted to
all the veNatious ana hampering restric-
tions that seem to be inherent to Germanys
notions of colonial administration.

RELIGIOUS FEDERATION IN JAPAN.
The Transition From Pnntheism to
Modern Belief.

The transition From PantheiSm to
Modern Belief.
Toru Hosiri in Harpcr's Magazine
One of the first acts of the emperor after
the restoration was the PRONUNCIATION of
an edict abolishing the laws against for
eign religions and their propagation among
the people. Hence it came to pass that
for the first time in centuries the doc
trine and tenets of Christianity could be
freely preached and taught in Japan.
Mention of this momentus event naturally
suggests some consideration of the uues-
ton of religious faiths in Japan, and of
their influence upon the intellectual and
moral growth of the nation. One interest
ing fact Immediately discloses itself, and
That is that up to the time when Japan
was closed to the world foreign religions
had not only been tolerated, but had even
been eagerly welcomed and espoused. This
is notably true of Christianity and Build
hism. The latter was introduced about 500
AID. Until that time Shintoism was the
only religion OF the people. The coming
OF Buddhism. as one Of our historians
says. wrought a complete change in the
mind of the nation. Hitherto the people's
conception Of religion had been of a most
rudimentary character. They merely be-
leved that the gods must be reyered. 1e-
lied on and feared. In their simple faith
they attributed every happy or unhappy
event, every fortunate or unfortunate in
cident, to the volition of the deities. TO
whom. therefore. they offered sacrifices
that evil might be averted." The transit
tion from pantheism Of this description to
belief in a faith which inculcated virtue
and weli-doing, and announced the doctrine
OF future rewards and punishments might
naturally be regarded as difficult, bu. It
was accomplished in Japan In a SURPRISING
iy brief period. The introduction of Buid-
hism did not, however, destroy reverence
for the ancient Shinto faith. The two ex-
listed side by side: in some cases thew
were even partially amalgamated through
the skillful adoption by Buddhist propa-
gandists of some features of the Shinto
belief as part of the Buddhist tenets

The Nationality of Mont Blanc.

From the London Globe
A very curious agitation is taking place
in the French department of Haute-Savoie
The good people of the department profess
to be dissatisfied with their name and
wish to change 1t to the department OF
Mont Blanc. which 1t appears according
to their statement. was the ancient name
of that part of the country. Quite lately
the municipal council of Annecy held an
animated debate on the subject, and finally
decided unanimously that the other munich
palities of the department and also the
councillors general and the councillors of
the reimbursement should be asked to give
Their opinion upon IL. 1t is quite plain that
the Hauts-Savoyards and the people of
ChamouniX wish il to be understood once
and for all that Mont Blanc is in France
and net in Switzerland and that Chamounix
is the chief town of French canton. We
suspect that pertidious Albion is at the bot
tom of this desire to change the name The
fact Is that ninety-nine out of a hundred
persons who have never seen Mont Blanc,
and of those who visit Chamounix for the
first time, would say, if they were asked.
that Mont Blanc is in Switzerland. The
worthy municipal councillors of Annecy are
too polite and, perhaps. too polite. to lay
the charge at the door of their English
visitors. but there is no doubt what was in
their minds. The tone of their remarks
makes it clear that they are much irritated
by the supposition that their monarch OF
the Alps is OF Swiss nationality, and their
great reason for desiring the change is TO
make il clear to all men that Mont Blanc
ChamouEix and Annecy are all in France,
and are not ashamed of the fact Properly
no doubt they in Italy. but there seems
no reason why the department should not
change its name.
