occasions ignored his messages and re-
fused to provide the remedy for the
lawlessness which is rampant in certain
parts of the State.
The Baltimore Sun is queerly Impress
ed by Governor Bradley's remarks. III
says If the State authorities cannot
prevent Americans whose ancestors Nv
ed in the counties of Kentucky for sew
eral generations from flying at each
others threats to settle their grievances
what prospect has the national govern
ment of settling a "feud" in the Philip
pines with 100000 Asiatics? The adj
ministration will be in the same pre-
dicament in which Governor Bradley
finds himself. The latter has not enough
troops, even if he call out the entire
one county, while, if President Mchln-
ley gives Otis an army Of 100000 men,
he will not be able to do more than pa
troll the Island of Luzon, which Is only
one of a great many islands that must
be occupied. 1t seems to be the height
of folly for this country to acquire a
"feud' that will last for generations in
the Philippines when it has large and
varied assortment of Vendettas at home,
which the authorities frankly confess
they cannot cope with.

SOUND.

The Chamber of Commerce is as
sound on the f1agpole question as it was
expected to be. In an eloquently pa
trotic whereas" and resolution it calls
for the immediate erection of new
flagpole in the place of the old one, in
accordance with the practically unani-
nous wish of the people of New Haven.
This is right action. We notice that
there is some talk about putting flag
pole on the city hall, or in some other
place on the Green than that where the
old one was We hope such talk Will
not find favor. The old flagpole was IN
the right place, and the new one cannot
be in better. Put the new flagpole
through the band-stand and let us soon
see again the glorious sight we have
been accustomed to see.

SIP RE.1 DING.

1t took long time and much faithful
and unselfish work to get the good
roads movement we'll started in Con-
necticut. 1t is flourishing now, and it
will probably not cease to flourish until
there are good roads all over the State.
1t is interesting to notice how one after
the other the States are falling into line
in this matter. Minnesota is one of the
latest. There will be a good roads con-
vention in that State some time between
October Is and November 1, at which
it is hoped and expected that delegates
from all the counties in the State will
be present. The convention will be
called upon to provide for the continu-
ance Of the agitation in favor of good
roads in Minnesota, and to adopt some
plan of organization throughout the
counties. 1t will probably create an
executive committee to draw up forms
of legislation which, if approved by the
district or county bodies, will be pre-
scented to and urged upon the legisla-
ture. The plan Of agitation is elaborate,
extending to the townships, in each of
which there is to be a committee of
three specially charged with the duty
of keeping up interest in this laudable
movement. 1t is aimed to get SO thor
ough an expression of opinion on any
measures that may be proposed that
when they are presented to the legisla-
ture, if presented at ALL they shall bear
already the approval of the public. The
Minnesota convention will be in connec-
ton with the work of the State and In
terstate Good Roads Association, under
the charge of w. III. Moore The plans
of this association include the holding
of a national good-roads convention
some time next spring, at which the
subject of proposed federal legislation in
this interest will be discussed.
This is encouraging. BY and by 1T
will be possible to go all over this coun-
try in an automobile.

THE NEW STEEL CARR

When the big contract between the
Pressed Steel Car company and the
Carnegie Steel company was announced
there was general wonder The amount
of steel plates to be delivered is 10000
tons per month, or 100000 tons per year,
or 100000 tons in ten years, and the
money consideration involved is about
SIS, 900 900 This is the biggest contract
of the kind ever made but those who
know say that it is good business. The
Philadelphia Record has been looking
into the matter and finds that four years
ago pressed steel cars were unknown.
To-day the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany owns 5000, the Baltimore & Ohio
5000 and nearly every company of i'm
portance in the country has some of
them. Only freight cars are made of
pressed steel, although some experiment
tai efforts have been made to use the
material in passenger coaches. The
cost of pressed steel car is at present
greater than that of the wooden car;
but the weight of the former in proper
ton to it's carrying capacity is much
less than that of the latter, and it's life
is estimated to be much longer. The
largest sized wooden car carries 10000
pounds and weighs $4,000 pounds, the
weight of the empty car being 80 per
cent of the weight OF the load. The
steel car carries load Of 100, 900 pounds,
and weighs the same as the wooden car,
which carries only 10000 pounds The
ratio of weight Of steel car to its load
is 1921 per cent, instead of so per cent.
The average life of wooden car is fif-
teen years, and repairs cost about S95 a
year. The estimated life of a pressed
steel car is fifty years, and the cost of
repairing it does not exceed SIS year.
About 10000 men are now engaged in
this comparatively new industry

things when it win pay to do them

The question of prison manufacture
OF tobacco was again raised a short time
ago by the superintendent of the
Raleigh, North Carolina, State penten-
tiary, who inquired whether in his Off
cial capacity he would be permitted
to buy leaf tobacco and have it put
into twists by hand, for the use of
convicts only, without paying the Gov
eminent tax thereon and also whether
twist" tobacco, the stem from which
has been removed and no sugar, licorice
or other material has been added will
be regarded by the Government as a
manufactured tobacco and subject to
tax. He has been advised that the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
not heretofore interposed any objection
to the officers of a States prison manu-
featuring tobacco within the prison
premises for the exclusive use Of the
prisoners confined therein, but tobacco
so manufactured must not be removed
from the prison premises, nor supplied
to prisoners who are outside of the
prison and in charge of some person
under the convict labor laws of the
State.

FASHION NOTES.
Anew Reward for Coaxing.

Many of this summers girls think
that the way to have sailor hat look
just right is to get it, if not at mans
store, from man. Just try on your
brothers latest straw. All! that is it!
Nothing from the women's counters can
come near it. Fits, too, as no human
halter will ever submit to allowing a
womans hat to fit if he has anything to
do with it. Now comes the next step.
Coax brother to let you have the hat
just as it is. Tell him he can get an
other, beg, borrow or buy it of him.
Wear it, if it is half as becoming as it
ought to be, while you coax. Ten to
one he will not be obdurate. The
chances are that his vanity-men pos
sess twill be touched by the fact that
the hat so commonplace on him equips
you with a new bewitchment. If he's

A new article known as the gelatine
or Vanduara silk, is noticed in the Tex
tile Industrie. But this article, it Is
asserted, lacks the essentials called for
in any substitute for the natural fabric,
in that it softens in cold water and dis
solves in that which is hot. 1t is well
understood that. in an artificial silk
dress of the Chardonnet order, the wear
er takes the risk of being consumed by
flames, but in a Vanduara garment
there must be no, exposure to rain.
Nevertheless, as meeting the difficulty
in question, chemistry has recently dis
covered that formaldehyde is a means
for insuring the insolubility of gelatine
silk not only in water, but in most of
the acids. Gelatine possesses the adj
vantage of being easy to dry, passes
through the glass tubes used in the ar
tificial process as smoothly as collodion,
and the machines send out the gelatine
threads by kilometers. One workwo-
man can daily reel off several hundred
cocoons, each yielding 300 to 1900 meters
of raw silk while one man can get
through with length of artificial
threads which equals that contained in
nearly 1900 cocoons.

Mr.. McDougall of the London Coun-
ty Council is afraid that the Thames
will run dry owing to the dams that
are being built in the upper reaches Of
the river Whereas last year 5000, 900
gallons of water day passed over Ted
dington Weir in May and 429,000,000
gallons in June, the figures for this year
are 550,000000 gallons in May and $780,,
100000 gallons in June. In one day of
July only 100000 gallons flowed over.
1t Is feared that the result may be an
epidemic of disease, arising from the
undiluted sewage of the city.

About ESQ., 900 canaries are raised every
year in Germany, 100000 of them being
sent to the United States, $4,000 to
Great Britain, Brazil Chile and the Ar
gentine Republic. Ordinary birds bring
from rs cents to 81 apiece, while the
birds bred in the Hartz mountains are
sold from prices varying from $3.50 to
S.. Two-thirds of the birds sent to the
United States are imported by Ger
man resident in New York, who in his
turn, buys them from different parts of
Germany. In the Hartz mountains this
dealer has a bird-cage factory which
turns out material for 1000 bird cages
daily, and the peasants take home bun
dies of it for making cages in their leis-
ure moments. From Hanover the birds
are shipped to New York, via Bremen,
with attendants to look after them.
Each one has 1000 birds to attend to, in
900 separate little cages; one of these
men has crossed the Atlantic over 100
times in charge of birds.

Herbert Spencer, who has refused
many offers Of honorary degrees and
membership in many learned societies,
makes an interesting explanation of his
action when he says that in his opin-
ion such honors instead Of being en-
couragements to literature and science
are discouraging. He regards them as
a system of inverse handcapping, so
that while in physical competitions 1t
is usual to give the younger certain
artificial advantage when they are set
against the elder, in these mental COM
petitions between the rising men and
the men who have risen, the reverse
practice is followed-the men who have
risen have an artificial advantage, and
the younger men, who, Of necessity,
have much to struggle against, have
their difficulties artificially increased
by the absence of titles, which their
competitors possess.
