markable, indeed, replied Curran, for
everyone agrees that 1T was the dry :
est speech of the session.

Gunners inside Of a monitor turret
suffer intensely from heat generated
by the conclusion of the enemies can
non balls when they strike the steels
of the turreU. The energy Of visible
motion is sudden ~ arrested and be-
comes molecular energy in the form
of heat. the moving mass has COM
municated it's motion to the molecules
of the metal of the turret as well as of
the cannon ball itself. All visible
motion when arrested becomes heat,
even that of running water. If we
take two pieces Of solid ice and rub
them together, they can be heated by
the friction until the melting point is
reached If we should pour water in
to an ordinary rotary churn and turn
the crank, the mechanical energy ex-
erted against the water will be trans
formed into molecular energy, and
the water will be warmed in proper
ton to the amount Of mechanical
energy expended.

COLONIAL PROFIT AND LOSS.
GRAIN-O.

Not all colonies are gold mines. Skill
in administration may do much to aug
ment their natural value, but the ell
ement Of good or bad luck must be
reckoned with, too.
England is the ablest colony man
ager among the nations, but since the
sugar business went to pieces her West
Indian colonies have been group Of
poor relation, always begging for
help. Yesterdays London dispatches
told us that the home governme Mt
had just made a grant of $1,000 to
Barbados and 1925, 900 to ST. Vincent 8,
beside authorizing a loan OF $3.50, 900
to each from the imperial exehequer.
The people Of Holland are about the
most skilful merchants in the world,
and their colonial system is often re-
ferred to as the source of the mother
country's wealth. But while Java
and the other East Indian possessions
Of Holland are usually a source of
revenue to her, Surinam and Curacao,
her new colonies, are poverty stric k
en- like their British neighbors, and
have to be helped. The average con-
tribution of Holland to the support Of
Surinam. or Dutch Guiana for the
last three years has been 800, 900 guild
ers, about $780, 600. This is the colony
for which Holland swopped New York
in her treaty with England in 1867.
Curacao makes7a smaller but pretty
constant dem nd on the mother coun-
try. Even the Dutch East Indies have
of late shown an annual deficit in
their local budget.
Of course, the general advantages
and profit of trade with colonies may
be considerable, even when direct
revenue is lacking. But colonies that
have to be helped are manifostly not
prosperous, and cannot be considered
valuable possessions in the CONNER
cial sense. Indeed, Hollands trade
with her East Indian colonies repre-
sents only IA per cent. of her i'm ports
and per cent. of her exports.
Porto Rico and the Philippines have
gotten so accustomed to being skinned
by Spain that they will easily get
along without money bounty from US.
That will not be enough. In order to
justify our venture in taking them.
we must develop their resources,
build up their trade, and yankee fash
ion, make them pay. That may not
be SO easy as some of the expansion
lists, who boiler much and think little,
have imagined. But we must do it;
we must make the dependencies pay,
or we shall quickly find expansion
failure and Imperialism played out.

FRANCE

France is the crown and glory Of
Latin civiliz alton, the ceLter OF cul-
ture, the home of science, wealth and
refinement. Her people are natura
cultivators of the soil, and the laws
are SO framed as to keep the land very
largely in the hands of those who Gull
tivate it. AS class the French people
are frugal, industrious and provident.
They manage their private affairs with
singular ability, but in public matters
they signally fail. In financial admin
istration the rulers of the French have
made a sorry showing. Napoleon the
Great, after all his years of warfare,
left France in debt only about $685.
O00,O 900; Napoleon the Little increased
the interest paying debt to almost a
billion dollars, with large floating
debt besides. The annual interest
amounts to $251 ,000 600, and this in
terest has been increasing dt the rate
of a million dollars a year for more
than twenty years. OF ali the nation
al revenue available, 3615 per cent.
must be used for paying interest.
The wealth of the country is taking to
itself wings, and although one fourth
of the wealth Of all Europe was in the
hands of the French people hundred
years ago, today they have less than
one-sixth. Taxes have reached their
highest point, for it is seen that in
creasing them does not produce any
additional revenue. This is the one
great obstacle in the way to the ad-
vancement and progress Of Fran ce-
her inability to obtain more money by
taxation. Her credit is still good, and
she could doubtless borrow money ut
lowrates but the question offuturepay-
ments is difficult one. In her resources
France shows a dangerous weakness.
Her population is stationary, her for
eign trade shows no expansion, her
range of domestic industry is limited,
and her productive powers are han
pered by restrictive laws in all di
rectiOns. Standing first in refinement,
she is also first in her public indebted
ness, while she is probably fourth in
native resources. 1t is to such con-
siderations as these that we must
look to explain the reason why sem
sible people in France deprecate war
and are content that the nation sho Md
play a more modest role than that to
which her conquests in the past en-
title her.
