THE FAULT OF THE AGE.

The fault of the age is mad endeavor
To leap to heights that were made to
climb;
By burst of strength, or a thought most
clever,
We plan to forestall and outwit time.
We scorn to wait for the thing worth
having;
We want high noon at the days dim
dawn;
We find no pleasure in toiling and saving,
AS our forefathers did in the old times
gone.
We force our roses, before their season,
To bloom and blossom for us to wear;
And then we wonder and ask the reason
Why perfect buds are so few and rare.
We crave the gain, but despise the get
ting;
We want wealth-not as reward, but
dover;
And the strength that is wasted in useless
fretting
Would fell q forest or build tower.

Miss Terry, you have shown me
great mercy. Will you add to your

me permission to call this evening and

The Are of Iron.

The census, taken at the dawn of the
twentieth century, marks the greatest
epoch in our national life, says the
North American Review. The age OF
iron has come to a climax with a force
almost dynamic.
The world has witnessed the golden
age of Augustus, the silver age Of
Elizabeth, the era of great wars and
of wonderful progress in the arts and
sciences; but as the nineteenth century
eliminates, behold! the age of iron and
steam and electricity, telegraphs, sew
ing machines, telephones automobiles;
an age which is devoted to material de-
velopment, to the accumulation of
wealth and to the upbuilding of vast
enterprises, and which halls the advent
of the uncrowned king of commerce,
the consolidation of great corporate in
terests. High-water mark in our COM
mercial and industrial life has been at
tanned, and to that fact the vast EMU
meration to be taken in 1900 will add
Its testimony. The work of the twelfth
census will mark the industrial growth
of the nation and be another mile-post
In its marvellous history.

Vortex Motion in Atmosphere.

Vortex motion in the atmosphere,
though seldom obtrusively patent in
England, must certainly be reckoned
with, and all ascending currents, from
whatever cause appear of this nature,
says the National Review. Dust whirls
IN spring, and twisting columns Of dry
leaves or hay in summer and autumn
are evidences Of the existence of such
upward currents. But the aerohaut
can detect them on larger scale and
penetrating sometimes far aloft. This
is only what might be expected from
statistics relating to such phenomena
where they occur in greater earnest in
other parts of the globe.
1t is classical history how dust show
ers have arisen in the west coast of
Africa and descended again on vessels
far out on the Atlantic; how Scotland
has been visited by storm of pumice
debris which was supposed to have
had its origin in Vesuvius; how show
ers of fish or of frogs have descended
from the sky, having been swept into
lofty regions entangled in the bosom
of windwhirl sufficient to bear them
whittier it listed. The dust of Kraka-
tao, committed to the lofty winds by
the force of its own eruption in 1888,
travelled over the globe in outward
courses almost without limit before
settling to earth weeks or months or
possibly years afterward.

For several years attempts have been
made at Omaha and Los Angeles to
hatch the egg of the ostrich artificially.
but so far these attempts have been
unsuccessful, the difficulty being the
application of moisture. Now, however.
an ostrich farm in Florida can boast OF
the first incubator-hatched ostrich in
the United States. The incubator re-
quired forty-one days of careful watch
ing; the thermometer was kept ut 11O
degrees and the moisture was applied
at intervals.

For the past thirteen years the gov

fications according to general plan,
devised hv officers of the army, which
will cSsc "a the aggregate about one
hundred and twenty-five million dol
lars-the work to be spread over Sc
ries of years. Although the plan in its
essential features was adopted, the
work has not been carried on with the
intended rapidity. The Spanish war
found the coast cities poorly fortified,
Such fortiflcatlons as existed were in
adequately provided with old-fashioned
ammunition. The smoke from the
powder would have defined the posi-
tion of the batteries to an enemy. The
idea that the coast must bristle with
guns is offensive to most Americans.
The country has been defended in the
past by It's isolation, Its non-interfer-
ence traditions, and its ships. Even
now the completion of the coast de-
fenses is retarded by the opposition Of
navy men, who advise that the money
intended for such defenses he spent for
ships rather than for forts. The eXpe-
rience OF the Spanish war certainly

For reasons not altogether apparent
from an American point of view, con-
siderable interest has recently been
manifested in Congress In the Panama
route for the inter-oCeanic canal. 1t Is
easy enough to understand that the
former promoters of the Inflated enter
prise which wrecked the reputation Of
nearly every one connected with it
would be glad to have the United States

hands, but there are reasons in abund-

Among other reasons the Alabama Sen

The close of the century finds many
restrictions placed by international
agreement upon the barbarous tenden-
cies of war. War is still with us, but
its horrors are greatly mitigated by
agreements that protect noncombatants
and secure humane treatment to the
wounded and prisoners. a survey of
the century is, upon the whole, encour
aging. Much remains to be done, but
much also has been accomplished.
