The failure of Canada to keep pace
population nas been a great disappoint-
ment, not only to Canada, but to Eng
land. In a well digested article, the Lon
don Express attempts TO point out the
cause for this apparent discrimination
against our Lady of the Shows. Canada,
says the writer, is blessed with a climate
those of the United States, but the i'm
migrants from the Old World go to the
United States and develop her resources
while the Canadian prairies and mines
reason for this, the Express finds, is in the
enterprise of the great transportation
lines of the United States and the
foolish policy of the English in lending
their capital to build up Yankee indus
tries to compete with those of Canada.
The pertinent question is asked why
England's capital and the English gov
eminent insist upon developing the South
American republics where they have a
revolution every year instead of annual
elections.
Emigration" says the Express, can
not be a success from here to Canada
until capital and labor emigrate hand in
hand. England should turn her financial
eye from Mexico, Argentina, Turkey,
Uruguay and other wild cat" countries
populated by races which Englisnmen
will always insist upon regarding as of a.
semi-monkey variety, and let it rest upon
fertile, wholesome Canada, country Of
the white man, a country which should
be England's most splendid possession"
This is good sense, very good sense. 1t
is so good that we might we'll profit by
it. As long as we have an empire within
our original borders uadeveloped, why
do we grasp for more WHAT do we want
of islands that we cannot use? While
we are all expansionists so far as our
ownership OF the Philippines is con
cerned, this does not bar us from be-
lieving that the time will come when
both the political and commercial inter-
est Of the country will dictate the sale
of the Philippines to Japan.

THE apparel oft proclaims the man"
and sometimes proclaims the woman.
This statement has contained more or
less truth ever since the day after satan
walked in the garden of eden, and con-
versed with Mrs. Adam, commonly called
Eve.
Since that time there have been numer-
Gus and important changes both in the
texture and the fit of the garments which
were in approved style in the best society
of eden. Considered from an artistic
viewpoint, it is a question whether the
new woman has improved on the Eve
angelic costume of Mrs. Adam, while
from an hygienic standpoint the costume
of Mrs. Adam had many points of ad-
vantage. AS to the dress of Adam, we
must all admit that, considering the
climate in which he lived, his taste was
much superior to that of even the shirt
waist man, providing the ancient garden
was not infested with mosquitoes.
What is the cause of the variety of
dress in which the individuals of the
human race seem inclined to disguise
themselves? 1 would much prefer to
answer something easy. Individual taste
has much to do with it; climate Is re-
sponsible for the texture and in some
cases for the color and quantity, but
the desire of the human to attract the
attention of other humans is the doml-
nant and abiding influence in determining
the style of dress in every community,
from the African tribe, the members of
which go to church dressed in string
of glass beads, a plug hat. one cuff, three
finger rings and a happy smile, to a
community of the four hundred whose
members change their costumes with the
mutations of the moon.
The average human being would rather
be clown at a circus than a philosopher
in seclusion. The work of the cartoonist
is enjoyed while the work of the artist
is passed up. Why2 Because as a. mat
ter of fact the race is composed of more
human caricatures than artist models.
The great public sees in the work of the

AERIAL NAVTGATION 4 FIXTURE.
while not Impossible is impracticable.
The recent attempts of Santos-Dumont
to circunnavigate the Eiffel tower has
demonstrated two things. First, that a
machine can be made which will carry
light load and which Will respond to
the steering geer in a perfectly calm at
mosphere; second, that the gas bag nee
essary to sustain the weight of the ma
chine is so enormous that the machine
as now constructed is absolutely at the
mercy of the wind
The principles involved in the naviga-
ton of the water and the air are iden-
teal. The rarity of the second medium
and the velocity of it's moving currents
renders the construction of machine
which while sustaining itself above the

An airship. to be of any use, must
be constructed to go with the wind, or
arranged with some contr1vance which
will act as the canvas and keel of the
old sailing vessel. Such machine, it is
evident to ALL would be too unwieldly to
be of any practical Importance.
The currents which oppose water navi-
cation are seldom more than four miles
per hour. If greater than that, the power
of steam is hardly sufficient to make
navigation profitable. The great impede
ment to steam navigation is the action
of the wind on the superstructure Of the
vessels. This is emphasized and multi

airships, as nothing can be constructed

PROTECTING THE STREETS.


1t is gratifying to observe the splendid
activity which now prevails or at least
is promised, in the way of protecting the
public streets from invasion by the wick
ed corporations The most interesting
event of that activity is undoubtedly the
appearance of city commissioner of pub
lie works, Mr.. Claussen, in the role Of
author.
Commissioner LAWYER builded better
than he knew when he proceeded to tear
down Had the prevailing spirit prevail
ed during the early official days of Mr..
Claussen, there would now be no question
as to whether his department or the
police department was responsible for the
contemptuously Illegal invasion of Eighth
and Cedar streets by the Minneapolis
concern which operates our street cars
for us Indeed in that event there could
not have been any such invasion.
Already We are assured that two poles
have been cut down which were main
tanned without warrant of law. This is
well. Now, if Mr.. Claussen will proceed
to tear up those Illegally laid tracks on
Cedar street, or use his powerful in
fuence with the corporation which laid
them to get the legal authorization from
the council--which it is believed never
was had-to maintain those tracks, we
may consider ourselves as having made
1riof Of TO
ward preserving sacred the right of the
public in its own thoroughfares.
When all unnecessary and legal OBJ
tructions are removed from our thorough
to the safe use of them is made COM
plete there will still be one drawback.
The question may still remain unsettled
what Individual official or department
it is which can claim the credit of the
reform,
For the better assurance of the peace
of mind of our contemporary, the Pioneer
Press, the G. o b e is free to concede to
the department of public works and the
distinguished gentlemen and Republican
officials who conduct it's affairs the entire
honor and advantage that may be in
volved. The fact that the head of the
department did early after his Induction
into office less than three years ago,
proceed to prepare maps and ask legal
advice concerning the principal obstruc-
tion of which the people complain, shows
the earnestness which has animated him
and his brethren, and leaves no serious
question as to their abiding purpose to
restrain the offending corporations in the
exercise of their illegal privileges.
While the present period Of activity
prevails among the officials of the street
department, it may not be amiss to sug
gest that the police department do CO.
operate in the work, at least to the ex-
tent of seeing that there is no one to
modest or make afraid the officials of the
other department in the conduct of this
necessary public reform.

that attracts attention always, and thai
which attracts attention becomes the
style.
The cartoonist whose pencil has for
years been picturing the English chappie
with baggy pants upturned at the bot
tom, mas at last inflicted that senseless
fad upon America. By making the
Britisher ridiculous - accenting his eff
fort to attract attention, he fixed the
fad in the mind of the Anglomaniac
This is the result. The tailors receive
orders to construct pants with the baggy
effect of the pants of the English turt
man, and made sufficiently long to turn
up at the bottom. This, in itself, does
not look particularly bad. But all men
who wish to appear to be in style can
not afford to pay tailor prices for their
clothes. What is to be done? The pants
that are on hand are turned up at the
bottom and let down from the top. so
that the artistic baggtng effect. both fore
and aft, may be obtained. The object
is attained-a complete and interesting
caricature of the stylish dude who at
tempted to initiate his brethren over the
water.
Sometimes these attempts to attract at
tention by garments Of unusual form, re-
suit in most artistic effects. The Raglan
coat. which originated in the necessity of
using a blanket with hole in the CEN
ter as an overcoat during the CrImean
war, is artistic, because it follows nat
ural lines. The box coat, which mas been
succeeded by the awful caricature OF

MILK Infection.

Prof H L. Russell, in a recent adj
dress, said in part:
A prominent factor to be considered
is one that is generally overlooked by
most people. 1t is the germ life that
comes from the inside of the udder.
We said at the outset that milk was
secreted germ free; made in the
gland cells it is sterile but as soon as
it flows out into the milk cistern it
comes in contact with bacteria If
we look at the section of a cows udder
it is easy to see why this is so. The
direct communication that it is pos
sible to establish between the outside
the udder and the secretory cells
permit more less of germ life to
work their way up the teat into the
milk cistern and so on into the nu-
merous folds and cOnvolutions OF the
smaller channels Here are ideal con-
ditions for growth if any germ does
establish itself. Moisture, food, and
warmth abound and this is all a mi
crobe needs to wax fat. In the few
particles of milk that inevitably re-
main in the udder these bacteria thrive
and grow To such extent is this
SO that the first few streams always
contain very much larger number
than at any subsequent time. The
milk secreted and withdrawn toward
the end of the milking is much more
nearly as the cow made it, because the
great majority of these organisms are
washed out by the fore milk just as a
sewer is flushed with the heavy. flow
of storm water.
The third factor 20 which reference
viii now be made is the influence
which the animal herself directly ex-
erts on the germ content of the milk;
also the contamination which comes
from the dust in the air of the barn.
The coat of the COW could be provided
IN no better way to aid in the distrf-
button OF bacteria Unless kept thor
oughly clean, her tanks, under parts
and tail become coated with evident
filth. Even where this material is not
allowed to accumulate there are innu-
merable dust particles caught in the
hair. The majority of these contain
organisms of all sorts, bacteria pre-
dominating. BY planting in geIatine
these hairs taken from the apparently
clean coat of COW, it is possible
to study the number and kind of or
ganisms that find their way into the
Ri1k. Is it. any wonder that milk that
contains dirt sours and spoils more
readily than clean milk? There are
but few things richer in germ life thar

focal discharges OF animals, the
dust and dirt of hay, bedding, etc.
