"How do you pronounce the name
of the Secretary of War;" is a ques-
ton asked many times every day, and
as in most cases people do not know,
a different pronunciation Is given by
each. "Allger," hard 6, "Awejar," and
"Aljer" have been the most. frequent
pronunciations. AS Camp Alger has
caused the name to be on the tongues
of SO many, the private secretary was
asked to give the correct pronuncia-
ton, so all may now rest assured that
they have 1t right If they say "Ahljer,"'
pronouncing the first two letters as
the exclamation "ah," bringing in ~
in the only way it can be enunciats,
and the last three letters as in jerk
The first syllable is not as If spelled
"awl." although this error is made fire.

and yet freight rates are SO sxtortion-
ate a. to be almost prohibitive. while
wages paid railroad employees are de-
grading and almost criminal In their
smallness. Surely America has deal
to learn frsm its various mother coun-
tries.
In Germany you can ride four miles
for cent on the government owned
lines, yet wages are over 125 per cent
higher than when the corporations
owned them, and during the past ten
years the net profits increased Al per
cent. Last year the roads paid the
German government a net PROFIT OF
$25, 0O0, 900.
II our government owned the rail-
roads, we could 90 from Boston to San
Francisco for $40. Here is the proof:
The United States pays $275 for the
postal car from Boston to San Fran
cisco. A passenger car will carry fifty
passengers, which, at SO each, would
be $500, or a clean profit OF $3.50 per
car, and this, too, after paying ~ per
cent on watered stock, which is fully
100 per cent on the cost of the road.
These quoted figures are taken from c
reliable source.-Uncle Sam.

With q Wall of Water.
F. P. BAKER.

The idea Of protecting buildings
against fire from without by means Of
a water curtain, to be made to fall
all around the structure, appears to be
gaining favor, having the Endorsement
of some Of the most experienced pro-
fessional experts in this line, and the
plan is exciting special attention in
Chicago, where it is being applied to
the great public library building. The
arrangement is extremely simple. "A,
seven-inch steel water main Is LAID
around the top Of the structure, upon
the broad stone table formed by the
top Of the coping, this pipe having con-
nection with force pumps situated In
the basement, and, through perfora-
lions properly arranged, insures the in
PRODUCTION of substantial sheet Of
water from cornice to pavement,
around the whole or any imperiled por-
ton Of the building. The arrangement
of the system of piping is such as to
enable operating in prescribed Sec
tons; additional relays Of smaller
pipes are also placed in position above
windows and doors, in order to COM
plete the curtaining of those points In
the most serviceable manner, should
the curtain in the main be broken by
wind infringement against the build
ing.

A year ago the Salvation Army es-
tablished colony for the poor at Fort
Romie, Salinas county, Cal. Results
to date induce its projectors to believe
that they now see the solution Of the
problem Of relieving the needy. Ground
was broken for the settlement last Oc-
tober and rs persons were placed on a
tract of 500 acres. An irrigating plant
was erected at cost Of $4,000. The
land was very dry and this season
there has been a drouth, but in spite
of these conditions splendid crops were
raised on 225 acres. The colony now
has 80 houses, postoffice, a school
house, a store, an assembly hall,
blacksmith shop, and butcher shop.
Colonel Holland, national colonizfng
secretary, is in Salinas to establish an
other colony. A very large tract has
been offered for reasonable sum. The
colonies are open to all farmers OF
whatever creed or nationality.

Speed the Prov.

Not the ship that swiftest sa!leth.
But which longest holds her way
Onward, onward, never faileth.
Storm and calm, to win the day;
Earliest she the haven gains,
Which the hardest stress sustains.
Ger lifes ocean, wide and painless,
Thus would / with patience steer;
No vain hope of journeying scathless.
No proud boast to face down fear;

Battled with the waves, and stronger
Grew, as stronger grew the gale;
But my strength sunk with the wind,
And the sea lay dead behind.
There my bark had founder'd surely,
But a power invisible
Breathed upon me;-then securely,
Borne along the gradual swell.
Helm and shrouds and heart renew'd,
I my humber course pursued.

And no star comes through the gloom
On move, nor will l slacken

But where days last spark declines.

Notes.

France exports rails to Japan.
I.nan,s annual output Of coal Is B.
100000 tons.
Another trust Of large proportions Is
being formed which will, it is expected,
take in the largest cutlery concerns in
the country.

Mace to be taken with the idea that
a municipal council can profltably add
q fire insurance department to the ma
chinery it looks after.
Seattle will send 10000 bales of cot
ton to Japan during the coming winter.
This is a rather large order for sim
gle port, about so per cent more In
value than the value Of all American
exports to Japan during 1S94-95.
oregon has sent to the Omaha exhibi-
ton a sixty-foot stick from tree in
the forest near Scappoose. The timber
contains 1000 worth Of lumber and 1t
is without a single knot or blemish.
The cost of getting 1t out was about
500.
Indian cotton goods continue to make
Roadway in China, and opportunities
for the sale of cotton goods in West
China are practically limitless, as Its
many millions of inhabitants are al
most entirely clothed in garments made
from cotton.
Siam offers tremendous opportunity
for cotton growers in the United States.

inhabitants of the oriental countries

are in the whole orient only about

for raising cotton. All the cotton not
raised on this land must be imported.
American cotton is preferred to any
other kind

ship of Railroads.
In Australia, on government-oWned
railroads you can ride a distance of
600 miles for $3.50. first class, while
workingmen can ride six miles for 2
cents. twelve miles for cents, thirty
miles for 10 cents, and railroad men
receive from 25 to 80 per cent more
wages for eight hours labor than they
are paid in this country for ten hours.
In Victoria, where these rates prevail,
the net income from the roads is suffi-
Gent to pay all the federal taxes, which
is another convincing proof of the pos
sibility of government without taxa
tion.
In Hungary, where the roads are
state owned, you can ride six miles for
cent, and since the roads were bought
by the government the mems wages
were doubled.
Belgium tells the same story-fares
and freight rates cut down one-half
and wages doubled, yet the roads pay
a yearly revenue to the government Of
$4,000, 444.
IN the United States, under private
ownership, 1t is the other way. We
have paid the railroad billions In land
and money and are now paying them
uillions yearly for carrying the mail.

Inventions OF better and more eco
nomical methods of doing things al
ready done, or Of performing things
before impossible, make work. They
throw some men out of work; they de-
stroy or impair some occupations. But
they make places, directly or indirectly,
for more men than they displace, and
they create occupations greater and
more remunerative than those impair
ed or destroyed Consider electricity
for a moment. The rapid increase Of
the electric business Of this country 10
shown by the fact that at the time
of taking the last census, that OF 1890,
no serious effort was made to give fig
| ures showing the extent Of the use OF
electricity. There are in the United
States nearly a million miles OF tele-
graph wire, and there are $4,000 tele-
graph offices, exclusive Of those main
tanned by the railroad companies for
the conduct and regulation of their
trains. Taking into account telegraph
operators, telegraph company employees
and those in the telegraph service OF
railroads, there are $780, 900 persons con-
nected with the transmission OF tele-
graphic messages in the United States.
There are now 100000 miles Of tele-
phone wire in the United States, more
than 1000 exchanges, and an equal
number Of telephone branch offices, ex-
elusive, of course, Of pay stations. The
number of the employees of the tele-
phone companies Of the United States
is $4,000, exclusive Of those engaged IN
construction and repair work for the
companies. The gradual substitution
of the electric current for horse power
on surface railroads has added largely
to the number of employees of electric
railroads. There are now in the Unit
ed States $4,000 miles Of electric or
trolley roads, and these roads give EN-
ployment, it is computed, to 1OO,OO0
persons as motormen, conductors,
clerks, inspectors and electricians.
Then there is the item of electric light
ing, which is one of the most import
ant branches of the development or
electrical service, but likewise one the
figures of which are most fragmentary.
Nearly every important city Of the
United States, and many smaller cities,
too, are lighted by electricity, as well
as private houses, stores. public build
ings, tunnels, bridges, caves, mines and
parks, and the use of the electric cur
rent in manufacturing is constantly on
the increase. Machines are run by
electricity, many manufacturing opera
tions are run by electricity, fans for
cooling purposes are run by electricity,
and as these uses are extended the
number of persons employed is steadily
being increased There are still to be
added the figures Of another branch OF
the business, one Of the most import
ant, the manufacture Of electric appli-
ances, which, it is computed, gives EN-
pIoyment to more than 100000 persons.
Taking all the figures together, it is
probably not far from the truth to- say
that there are 100000 persons in the
United States dependent upon electriet-
ty for livelihood.
