be Swallowed from light. Some prac-
tice is needed in accurately tracing the
lines of the drawing, because the pencil
point is accompanied by a refracted
image of itself.
1t Is obvious that the picture is re-
versed in the image right and left.
To obviate this NJ. Prudhomme, as re-
ported in La Nature, has devised the
arrangement given in the accompany
ing illustration. The picture Is placed
vertically. 1t is reversed in a mirror
set before it at an angle of 45 degrees.
Then it Is righted in the second image
seen as If thrown upon the paper. The
church tower in the picture now ap-
pears on the same side of the edflce
as in the drawing copied. In this
process the partition should be of plate
glass, which would give no distortion,
but common glass will do for approx
Innate outline, to be corrected after
ward by comparison.

NO POLITICS IN II.

The questions at issue between the
miners and their employers hinge upon
only few facts. Whether the miners
shall trade at company stores and employ
company doctors, pay an exhorbitan
price for company powder and accept
without question the company rate Of
dockage are points that in no way enter
into politics.
1t is to be hoped that the politicians
will keep their hands off. They can
accomplish nothing but to foment strife
and delay an agreement.-Phila. North

THE POWDER QUESTION.

For years, whenever strike has
been threatened by the miners in the
anthracite coal field, the so-caled
powder question has figured as the
principal factor in the category of
grievances presented by the men.
THE operators make us pay S2.75 per
keg for powder for which they pay only
S1.25." The operators do not deny this
allegation, but contend that the rate of
wages paid is based on the price of
powder, that is to say, if the price OF
powder were reduced the rate of wages
must come down in the same proportion,
consequently the miners would gain
nothing if their demand for reduction
in the price of power were granted.
Assuming that this is the actual
status of the powder question, it must
be admitted by every thoughtful person
that nothing could be more slip-shod
and unbusinesslike.
What would be thought of mer-
chant who should propose to his en-
ployes that they purchase of him every
thing they eat or wear, pay him double
the actual cost, and he would make it
up to them in their wages? Neverthe-
less such proposition would be about
on par with the policy of the coal
operators in charging two prices for the
powder used by the miners on the plea
that If they did not do so they would be
compelled to pay the miners less for
cutting coal.
According to their own version this
policy of the coal operators is at var
lance with approved and sensible busi-
ness principles such as prevail in every
other channel of industry.
The excessive profits on powder
charged by the coal operators has un-
questionably been the primary cause of
more discomfort and disturbances in
these anthracite coal fields than any
other grievance the miners have COM
planned Of. Why the operators have so
persistently and stubbornly adhered to
it others have never been able to clearly
understand.-Wilk Record.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
) STUDY IN BRAINS. 5
1T is QUALITY AND NOT SIZE
THAT MEASURES IN
TELLIGENCE.

The man whose brain is small finds a
certain satisfaction in the conviction
that q woman's must of necessity be
smaller. 1t Is very ancient arrogance
old as the Aryan housefather and
older.
We find in 1t ample development
among savages, whose contempt for
the female understanding Is usually
measureless, says Professor Alexander
Sutherland in the New York Journal.
In proportion as men progress toward
civilization so do they grow out of this
crude concelt But they never divest
themselves of it to more than partial
extent.
The barbarian, even when he has an
lntuitive feeling which makes him act
on the advice of his women folk, al
ways asserts his independence and
scorns to give them more than crumb
of credit for a success which may pos
sibly have originated in their mild sug
gestions.
Every year seems to show with in
creaSing conclusiveness that whatever
be the ultimate decision In regard to
the occurrence of genius there Is in the
great mass of cases a practical equali-
ty in the male and female minds.
DR.. Boyd, who at ST. Marylebone hos
pital weighed the brains of $50 men
and 715 women, supplies us with fig
ures from which we can calculate that
| the average man has 10 per cent more
Vierordts figures from 152 men and
172 women give the average man an
advantage of II per cent,
But these are absolute measurements
and therefore form no test of intelli-
gence. Else would the whale the ele-
phant and the dolphin, with their huge
brains, be all more intelligent than
man. But If it be objected that this
comparison is sophistical on account of
disparity in quality then | readily
make the comparison within the hui
man race itself.
1t is plain, then, that the big man
derives no advantage in the way of
intellect from the bigness Of his brain,
and that man, in so far as his larger
brain is due to his larger body, enjoys
no advantage in capacity over wo-
man. The comparison must evidently
be one of proportion, and yet the diff
cult question arises, What Is to be the
basis of that proportion? Occasion
al efforts have in the last 40 years
been made by psychologists to settle
this point, but there is none yet that
Is satisfactory.
The most obvious and most usual
is to compare the brain weight with
the body weight. If this be done,
woman has proportionately larger
brain than man, for Boyd's figures
show that she has 80 ounce of brain
for every pound of weight in her body,
while man has only Al ounce. Here
she has an advantage of per cent.
Bischoff's figures, gathered in Bonn
from 526 men and 332 women, give
to the feminine brain exactly the same
advantage of per cent, and those Of
Vierodt, Parchappe and others lead to
closely approximate results.
Is the ignominious conclusion, then,
to be swallowed and digested that,
after all, instead of being inferior wo-
man is more richly endowed with
brain than man?

The nepenthes, or pitcher plants,
have long been considered and de-
scribed as carnivorous, but 1t is now
asserted by NJ. Rapell Dubois that this
is not So If the liquid collected from
the "pitcher" be sterilized, 1t has no
digestive properties, and he therefore
attributes the pseudo-dlgestion of the
open pitcher to the action of microbes.

STRIKE COMMENTS.
Continued from First Page.

ness in general, but Immediately and
primarily upon the strikers themselves.
They show a consciousness of the
gravity Of the situation which is far
from being characteristic of 'strike
leaders," But they say that their
grievances have become intolerable, and
that they really have no choice but to
strive for the redress of them in the
only practicable way.
Their statement, though necessarily
general, is clear in explanation and mod
crate in tone. 1t seems to us to require
an answer. The miners recognize the
enormous power of public sympathy and
opinion in such struggle as that upon
which they have entered. The oper-
interest, makes similar recognition.
The real question is not whether the
proceedings of the miners have been
regularly conducted. 1t is not even
whether the settlement Of grievances
and the demand for the redress of them
come from the persons actually aggriev-
ed or from their attorneys. 1t is
whether the grievances are real. Upon
the answer which the public returns to
that question, after it has been inform
ed, will depend the direction of its
sympathies. And public sympathy will
be very great and may be decisive
factor in the settlement of the strike

The approaching reunion of Den
marks royal family at Fredensberg is
an event of more than common inter
est, particularly in view OF the king
killing activity Of the anarchists. The
family is unique In having supplied so
many European thrones, and the gath
ering will be remarkable one, includ-
ing among the more notable figures
aside from the rulers of Denmark the
czar of Russia Kaiser Wilhelm, King
George of Greece, King Oscar of Swe-
den and the Princess Of Wales, pro-
spective queen Of England. Contem-
plated In connection with the assassi-
nation of King Humbert, such an ag-
gregation of royal personages contains
possibilities that are appalling. Yet
the abandonment of the reunion for
such cause would be more damaging
than defiance as a confession of terror.

OPERATORS HAVE DONE NOTHING.

OPERATORS HAVE DONE NOTHING.
These are the principal grievances of
the men. The operators have done
nothing to meet them. They have re-
fused to recognize the Mine Workers
Union, which it is their right to do,
undoubtedly. They have the right also
to demand that their dealings shall be
directly with their own employees, but
here comes another hitch. The men
have learned from experience that it is
dangerous for committee OF employees
to wait upon the operators, for the his
tory of such cases has been that the
short time found themselves blacklisted.
And so we are face to face with a
serious strike, one that will affect
thousands of homes, reduce to poverty
thousands of miners and their families,
drive into bankruptcy or starvation
many store-keeper and cause tremen-
dous losses to the mine owners them
selves.
All efforts to bring about arbitration
have failed up to date. The men
are ready. How about the operators?
They have shown no sign of willingness
to cooperate, and their behavior in this
respect does them no credit. For let
it be understood that the persons who
refuse arbitration are the ones that the
public will hold responsible for the
bloodshed that is sure to come.-Phila.

AN ARMORED TRACTION TRAIN
Successful Test of a Novel English In
VentiOn

Successful Test Of Novel English In
vention.
With the uses of the armored train
and the traction engine in modern war
fare the South African campaign has
made us pretty familiar. But a combi-
nation of the two things in the shape of
an armored traction siege train, is a
novelty. At Leeds, yesterday the Off
cial trial of the first of these trains took
place, and, needless to say, the expert
ment was watched with keen interest
by representatives of the war office,
which is hoping to be able to dispatch to
the Transvaal before hostilities are end
ed at least one example of this latest
engine of war. From the works Of
Messrs. Fowler az Co. there set out two
armored road locomotives, the first of
which, by reason of the vehicles and
guns which followed in it's wake was
the principal object Of popular notice
Attached to it We're three ormored wag-
one, and following them were two six
inch breech-loading howitzers from
Wcolwich arsenal, travelling on their
gun carriages. Altogether there was a
weight of between thirty and forty tons
behind the khaki-colored locomotive,
which OF itself scales upward of twenty
tons. The idea of this heavy train ca
reering gayly over hill and dale seemed
preposterous, although it made excellent
progress over the smooth surface of the
Yorkshire roads, doing on occasion as
much as seven miles an hour. The sec
ond locomotive drew a solitary wagon
beSind it, but in all essential points it
was identical with the first. In both
cases the vital parts of the engine are
protected with armor- plate-no easy
task, ii may be supposed, if free manip-
ulation is to be secured to driver and
steersman In time of hostilities those
who control the locomotive will neces-
sarily have but limited opportunity for,
