Chinese Productions Now Largely

NEW YORK, June 17.-No one is now
so pleasantly conscious Of the approach Of
the Fourth of July Except the small boy)
as the firecracker manufacturer. for the
demand for fireworks this year is unprece-
dented. Manufacturers are working night
and day to fill the orders. which are COM
ing in from every part Of this continent;
shipments have been made already to
Australia, Africa. and Central and South
America, besides the European countries.
and the employees are being pushed to the
limit and paid high overtime wages to
keep up with the home demand. The head
of firm in Fulton Street, whose factory
in New Jersey is keeping 500 men at work
almost day and night. said yesterday:

American ingenuity has completely run
the formerly triumphant Chinese produc-
tions out of the American market. Only
about 5 per cent Of the firecrackers used
are imported, these being the little sput-
tering peppers" while five years ago
China had practically a monopoly Of the
irecracker business of the world. The
American manufacturer has not the con-
trivances. nor can he seem to invent them.

The American firecracker is more ex-

youth. who looks only for the most elab-
crate thing he can find with which to eel

last grand annual display will be known

The First of British Colonies to

New Zealand has been the first OF Her

Protection From the Weather.

The recent wet weather suggests that
at least one of Mr.. Bellamy's ideas about
the model city of the future might be car
ried ouoyte advantage. His socialism is
open to objection, but some of his notions
about< material Improvements really are
very good. 81 Z
II will be remembered that he described
the city of his dreams as being rooted in
during wet weather, streets and AL, SO
that the Inhabitants were nicely protected
from the rain. We have made beginning
in this dGstion in the awnings without
which no modern business firm will con-
sent to exist, and along some of the prin-
cipal streets Of the modern city the pedes-
frian may safely proceed without having
any use for his umbrella except at the
crossings Why should not the city pro-
vide awnings over crossings and all? the
Socialist will enquire 1t would not cost
so very much and it would be very con-
venient. Under those conditions people
living ON the line Of the street cars would
be able to go down town and transact
business in any kind Of weather and come
back without getting their feet wet or
clothing drabbled. 1t would save some
thing in street cleaning. in all probability.
and, in fact, with awnings over all the
sidewalks. and horses banished from the
city and replaced by the trolley. the hicy-
Gle. and the automobile, the city of the
future would be a beautifully clean place.

ordinary man; and il awnings for our
streets are to be the first step toward
such condition of things perhaps a right
thinking democracy ought to abolish them
at once.
But such an innovation would really be
less radical than some which have been
accomplished in the past. The umbrella
is an apparently insignificant and unim- |
portant device for the promotion of human
comfort, but is really responsible in part
for some radical social changes-the eman-
cpation of women, for one. So long as

At a recent meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Game and Fish Protec-
tive Association of the District it was
urged that movement be made to purify
the waters of the Potomac and prevent
further contamination by debris of various
sorts. This is advocated partly on ac-
count of the human population of the Dis
trict and partly in the interest of game
preservation. and the case is concisely and
skillfully put in circular sent out by the
association:
Large cities depend upon the streams which
flow through densely settled hills and valleys for
their supply for domestic and manufacturing pur-
poses, Smaller communities likewise use river
water for various purposes. II the river and tribu-
tarios made the drainage canals for the debris
from mills and factories, for decayed animal and
vegetable matter from the hillsides and settle
ments. those residents below points Of pollution.
as well as those immediate to such, become con-
Sumcrs of the poison wastes and suffer the Ills
which must follow.
.It is a wcll-established fact that the world
renowned Potomac River furnishes water for the
consumption OF thousands of human beings, ana
that it is yearly becoming more and more con-
tamnatcd with impurities, not only of character
affects the public health, but of nature which
is fast destroying the producing and propagatins
grounds OF the most celebrated game fish known
TO the world. If these conditions are stayed the
health and lives of water consumers and those who
breathe the atmosphere surrounding the stream
will be preserved and the ideal paradise for
anglers will be protected and the revenue derived
from thousands of tourists be maintained and in
creased for the hotel, railroad, and other people
who entertain and accommodate the pleasure
seeker"
The question OF pure water has justly
received much attention in recent years.
and it should be considered sufficiently i'm
portant to receive a great deal more. The
general gravitation toward cities makes 1t
absolutely necessary that the sanitary
conditions under which SO large popula-
tion is obliged to live shall be perfect.
There is too much depending on the water
supply I'd make carelessness and neglect
of this subject at all safe.
No one needs to be told that Potomac
water too frequently looks like boarding
house coffee to be attractive to the con-
sumner It is less generally realized that
it carries the sewage Of a number of up
country towns. and receives the offal Of
innumerable farms along its course Our
health authorities admit fits impurity. At
times typhoid germs have been found In
it, In the strictest sense it is not to
be considered potable unless filtered and
boiled.
What the association above quoted
wishes to urge however is the protection
of the river from contamination. 1t is

factories and mills. and all sorts Of decay
