According to the Engineering News,
Massachusetts,, Ohio, New York and
Minnesota are the only states which
have instituted official state supervi-
sion to protect waters used for public
supply. To the four named should be
added New Jersey. The Legislature
of that state, at its recent session,
enacted measure designed primarily
for the protection from pollution of
the water of the Passaic river, but as
it is a general act it can be applied
anywhere in the state. This New Jer-
sey statute is praised by the Engineer
ing News as giving ''the most sweep
ing authority for the prevention of
water pollution ever proposed to be
conferred in this country, OF abroad,
30 far as we are aware" In Massa-
chusetts and Ohio all plans for new
water-supply and sewerage systems
must be submitted to the state board
OF health for approval. Minnesota
also gives the state board power to en-
force very good act to prevent the
pollution of public water.supplies. In
New York sewerage systems are re-
quired to be submitted to the state
board of health, but in addition the
board has power for the sanitary pro-
teetion Of any or all public water-sup-
plies. ~

The improvement in the art side Of
American manufactures during the
past few years comprises reason to
believe that these American manufac-
lures will more and more, as time goes
on, command the markets of the world,
says the jewelers. Circular. 1t has
been confidently stated by one of our
most efficient consuls that, in addi-
ton to the numerous articles of our
manufacture now sold in England, O
demand can gradually be created and
perpetuated for many others in silver.
In this field the articles must be of
high grade. The importance of main
tanning the highest quality and of in
surfing promptness in delivery cannot
be too strongly recognized. These
things done, there is apparent no rea-
son why American manufacturers, with
their wonderful enterprise and then
readiness to adopt new suggestions,
should not steadily push their produc.
tons into every market, let the com
petition be what it will.

Certain wiseacres in England have

The Iowa State Agricultural College
has planned extensive experiments in
road-making, which,will bescarried out
during the coming summer. The
merits of crude oil for compacting the
surface and shedding the water from
dirt roads, after they have been prop
erly graded, will be thoroughly tested.
Several samples of different kinds of
roads will be constructed, and among
others some steel-track wagon-roads
will be laid A course of lectures on
scientific road making, to be delivered
by an expert, will supplement the ex-
periments.

The people scold to beat the band.

BIG PAY OF PREACHERS.
SOME EXTRAORDINARY SALARIES RE-
CEIVEO BY AMERICAN OlVlNES.

Yearly Stipends Earned in Other Profess
sions-Enormous Fees Charged by City
Lawyers - The Pay of metropolitan
Editors and Physicians.
In offering DIR. Emil G. Hirsch $15,
900 a year for fifteen years to remain
as its pastor, Sinai congregation of
Chicago will pay him as large a salary
as is received by any clergyman in the
United States, writes William E. Cur
tbs, in the Chicago Record. 1t is the
same that is paid Bishop Potter, of
New York, who, however, has
retory furnished, heated and lighted
free of cost, and is provided with a
private secretary. The late Rev. DR..
Hall, of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church, of New York, during the last
years of his life, received the largest
salary ever paid to a clergyman in the
United States, which was 500, a
year, with a manse. Mr.. Beecher re-
ceiyed $4,000, without the manse.
DR., Halls salary proper was SIS, 900,
and $4,000 additional was contributed
by Robert Bonner and two other
wealthy members of the congregation.
His successor, Mr.. Cornell, who
comes from Regents Park Presby-
terrain Church of London, is offered
SO, 900 and a residence. That is the
salary paid to DIR. Gregory, Dean of
Westminster Abbey, Lor don. Dean
Farrar receives $1,000 a year. The
hierarchy of the Church of England
enjoy enormous salaries, which are
necessary to maintain the large estab-
lishments required of them. The
Archbishop of Canterbury receives
100000 a year, but he needs every
cent of it to meet his social and
ecclesiastical obligations at Lambeth
Palace, the home of the Primate of
the Church of England. The salary
of the Archbishop of York aud that OF
the Archbishop of London is 500, 900
year. The Archbishop of Ireland
receives So, 500. The other Bishops
of the Church of England are paid
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year. The
average pay OF a Vicar in England is
$500 outside the large cities. In the
cities the salary varies according to
the wealth of the parish, from $2500
to $40, 600.

The Episcopalians and Presbyterians
pay larger salaries than any other
denominations, but the pulpits most
envied in the United States are those
of the Collegiate Reformed Dutch
Church, of New York City. There are
seven or eight churches of that
denomination under the same manage
ment and supported from an cndow-
ment that is exceedingly rich. It's in
come is next to that of Trinity Church,
and amounts to several hundred thou
sand dollars a year. The pastors of
the Collegiate churches are paid SO,
900 fer lifa and oro allowed TO retire
from active pastoral work when they
reach the age of sixty-fve years.
Trinity parish is the richest IN the
world, and has an income of about
$4,000 from buildings and other
Investments. 1t supports five or six
churches, several schools, hospitals
and other charitable institutions and
pays the manager of its business q
salary of $500 year The rector
of Trinity Church receives 1925
The same salary is paid by st.
Thomas and ST. Bartholomew.
was informed Ivy good authority that
five clergymen in New York City re-
ceived that salary aud at least twelve
received $40, 900 year. The average
pay of clergyman in New York City,
excepting the pastors of mission
churches, is probably $4,000.

The editorial profession is not so
well paid. There are probably six,
teen editors in New York, not pro-
prietors of newspapers, who receive
$40, 600 year or over. The Journal
and World have four each, the Herald
two, the Times, Post and Brooklyn
Eagle one each. The highest edi.
torial salary paid in the United States
is SIS, 900.
Editorial writers of recognized
ability, city editors, news editors and
managing editors on the large daily
papers are paid from $1,000 to $500 a
year.

The salaries of our college profess
sors do not compare with those of Eu-
rope, although public school teachers
in the United States are paid two or
three times as much. The teacher of
an ordinary school in England, France
or Germany, who makes $25 n month
is doing very well, but several chairs
at Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh,
Glasgow and Aberdeen universities
are worth from $4,000 to $12, 900 a
year. The same difference is found
in the Government service. High
officials are paid two or three times as
much in Europe as in this country,
but ordinary clerks enjoy not more
than one-third or one-fourth the COM
pensation that is received for CORE
spending services in the United States.
The university professors in Europe
often enjoy hereditary grants and dues
from students, which are not custom
airy in the United States. The chair
of anatomy i'll Edinburgh medical
faculty is probably the most valuable
of any professorship in the world, be-
ing worth about $25, 900 a year. One
of the professorships in the University
of Berlin is worth SIS, 200, but there
the popularity of professor has q
great deal to do with his compensa-
ton. In the United States the col
lege faculties receive from $500 to
$4,000 year.
