THE AWAKENING.

| Bushnell threw down his pen so saw
| agely that the ink splashed over the
blotter.
| There" he said, pushing a sheet Of
| paper covered with figures toward the
other man, you will find a full state
| ment there of both assets and liabili-
ties" and he leaned back in his chair
with a sigh Of utter WEAKNESS.
Rogers took the paper and ran his
eye down the columns with a rapdity
gained by long practice. AS he saw the
totals he glanced at Bushnell in a
surprised way.
you will pay out dollar for dollar"
he remarked. "That is good.''
Yes said Bushnell, gloomily at is
the one redeeming feature of the whole
business"
The other hesitated a moment, as
though at loss how to continue and
pulled nervously at his moustache
1.-THE two amounts balance exactly,
or nearly So" he said, at last. There
will be nothing left for you"
IT know it" snapped Bushnell short
ly. you need not remind me Of it,
Rogers. Do you suppose ] am an idi-
ot?"
The lawyer glanced at his friend from
under his eyebrows and hesitated
again. Evidently what he had to say
was not sasily said
IT suppose you know" he continued
finally, that this is not necessary;
that there are ways in which it could
be avoided?"
RI1shna1 sfirred ir,po tiept1y in biS
chair, but he did not meet the others
eyes.
Yes he said, irritably, IT know it,
went over all that ground this after
noon. Don't remind me of 1t. I have |
fought that battle"
Rogers nodded gravely.

| 4DDENING AND EMBARRASSING
1t does beat all how some of our new
| men and brothers do behave. They
aren't grateful to us, and they wont do
as we want to have them. The news
that the native HaWaiians don't appre-
ciate our benevoence and our benefi-
cence is both saddening and embar-
RAISING. Instead of being loyal to those
who gave them the lnestimable bless
ing of annexation to this country they
have gone and elected Robert w. Will
cox, Independent, to be Hawaiis first
Delegate in Congress. Wilcox repre-
SCENTS the feeling in Hawaii of resent
ment against the forcible annexation of
the islands to the United States 1t
is also said that he isn't quite good
enough to have q seat in congress, the
charge against him being that he is a
simultaneous bigamist. But that isn't
all the ungrateful Hawaiians have done.
They have voted so that there will be
eight Independents seven Republicans
and one Democrat In their Senate, and
their House of Representatives will
have fourteen native Independent men,
bers, nine Republicans, and six indie
pendent Democrats.
What can be done with such people?
Fix things so that they can't vote, or
wait with kindly patience until they
know better than to bite the hand that
blesses them? Isn't 1t surprising that
they don't know better already?

everything worth having than anybody
else has, and there is more In sight for

testimony concerning our place in the
world has just been given by Sir Robert
Giffen, the noted English statistician.
1t is true, said Sir Robert, that Rus
STA has much tine larger population, but
the inferiority of the units is so great
that the pre-eminence Of the United
States is not questioned. Russia, Ger
many and England have all grown,
while France and Austria by compari-
son have remained stationary, so now
the great world powers are four only

great we are, and how in every way SUI

There seems to be no danger that we
shall fail to appreciate ourselves at our
true value, but let us beware of the
pride which goeth before destruction
and the naughty spirit that precedes a
fall. Kipling's poem which sobered

A NEN WOND EK.

Wonders do not cease. One of the
latest is a highly ingenious telegraph
system which writes out its messages
on tape at the receiving end at a
speed of more than thousand words a
minute. Tests of it have just been
made in Austria. The inventors,
Herren Pollak and Virag, are already
identified with high speed telesraphy,
and the present system is an outgrowth
ready in use. 1t was found by them
that a perfectly legible system of verti-
cal writing, Roman script, could be de-
vised in which all the letters might be
made by four motions Of a point MAX
ing a tracing upon a tape. These mo-
lions would produce up and down
strokes and large and small loops, and
may be given to the receiving instru-
ment by suitable control of high and
low pressure currents of opposite polar
tiles at the sending end. This control
is most easily effected by means of a
perforated tape running under con-
facts and prepared by means of a key
board machine somewhat like a type
writer. Only a single wire is needed,
and it is declared that the system has
worked well on $50 mile circuit of Or
binary telegraph wire. AT the receiv-
ing end the mechanism is most ingen-
ious. Even the lightest possible pen or
pencil would require far too much
power to drive it in writing one thou
sand or more words minute, SO
beam of light from a little mirror
mounted on two telephone diaphragms
arranged to move it in vertical and hor-
izontal directions, is used. The tape

Down here, from day to day

Whatever gifts chose

Not heaps of gold nor mighty ships
To sail the ocean blue,
Not wealth to make of other boys

But rudy cheeks and sparkling eyes,
A laugh that had the ring
or honest pleasure in it, aud
A heart for anything
If | were King Of Fairyand,
With none to say me nay,

Should bring to you to-day?
Nay, should bring across the sea
From some knight-ridden strand
No mincing little "nobeman''

Where you should be the Queen,
But l would let you play with dolls,

A number of prominent coal men Of
Pennsylvania have decided to erect a
monument of coal to Philip Ginter, the
discoverer of Pennsylvania coal, at
Summit Hill, near Mauch Chunk. One
hundred and nine years ago Ginter lived
in a rough cabin in the forests on the
Mauch Chunk Mountain. While in
quest of game for his family, whom he
had left at home without food of any
kind, his foot struck a black stone BY
the roadside, not far from the town of
Summit Hill, he built fire of wood
and threw pieces of the supposed stone
about it, so that the embers might last

He was surprised after a. little while to
see the stones glow and retain their
heat for long time, He carried a lot
OF the coal home and burned it there.
The few neighbors soon learned of the
discovery, but there was no mining to
any extent in Carbon county until after
the war Of 1912 had begun.

Machines for the manufacture of gas
on the premises where the gas is to be
used are said to have been invented,
and a company is being formed at
Chicago to put them on the market
They are reported to make a gas for
use only with mantle" burners, and
at a cost of only ten to twelve cents
per thousand feet-and this in small
quantities such as would supply the
needs of a common household. So low
a cost is made possible, it is explained
because the mantle burner needs only
a heating gas to produce an illumina-
ton, and not gas charged with the
costly elements which enter into that
used through the ordinary burner or
tip.
