Board Of Public Improvements and
Street Railway Officials to
Meet To-Day.

Second Vice President A. B. du Pont OF
the st. Louis Transit Company. and Gem
eral Manager Thomas NJ. Jenkins of the St.
Louis and Suburban Railway Company
were invited yesterday to be present at -
O'Clock this morning in the chamber of the
Board Of Public Improvements to partici-
pate in hearing regarding life-savins
fender devices.
The hearing was called in compliance with
a request from Mr.. du Pont. which was re-
ceived yesterday morning by the board.
The object of the hearing is to discuss va
rious devices and ideas and to endeayor to
reach some conclusion as to what sort of a
fender should be used on the street cars,
Mr.. du Points communication follows:
''On my return to the city this morning I
was glad to find that the fender bilr had
been signed by the Mayor. and hope that
We can come to an early agreement as 10
the proper kind of tenders to adopt. To this
end request that you appoint a time at
an early date, so that We can formulate a
plan to secure the best possible fender
Il would suggest also that. as the St.
Louis and Suburban Railway Company is
equally interested with us. you request its
representative to be present at the meet
ing"
President Phillips says the board will
give thorough consideration to the fender
subject. A device will be adopted as soon
as possible. but sufficient time will be taken
for deliberatioI and tests to prevent mis-
takes. The board, Mr.. Phillips says is
very busy, especially with plans for street
and sewer construction and reconstruction.

der The women of Belgium and Hol-
land are noted for their snowy linen,
and they ascribe this desired result to
the use of borax-a handful to ten gal
Ions OF water. Borax, being neutral
salt, does not injure the most delicate
fabric. Water in which borax has
been dissolved is excellent to wash all
kinds of lace, also all sorts of woolen
goods, flannel, cashmere and blankets.
II red table cloths are washed with
borax instead of soap, they will not
fade. Starch which is made by using
a teaspoonful Of borax and two table,
spoonfuls Of starch adds an extra gloss
to the clothing. Rinsing children's
garments in borax water is said to
make them fireproof-that is, if the
clothing catches fire, it will only
smolder. little borax put in the wa

1t is also good for oilcloths. If moths

moved by dusting the crevices with
powdered borax. Borax sprinkled on

should also be thoroughly rinsed after

ASIA 10 WONDERFUL.
That Continent tho stage for Prominent
Historical Figures.


That Continent tho stage for Prominent
Historical Figures.
Writing Of his travels In the Orient,
Lord Curzon, the present viceroy OF
India, has the following good word to
say for Asia in general: Asia has al
ways appeared to me to possess fas-
cination which no country or empire
in Europe, still less any part Of the
western hemisphere. can claim. 1t is
believed by many to have been the
cradle of our race, and the birthplace
Of our language, Just as 1t certainly has
been the hearthstone OF our religion,
our ideas. Wide as is the chasm that
now sewers US, with its philosophy our
thought is still tnterpenetrated. The
Asian continent has supplied a scene
for the principal events, and stage
for the most prominent figures, in his
tory. OF Asian parentage is that force
which, moro than any other influence,
has transformed and glorifled man
kind-viz.. the belief in a single Deity.
Five OF the six greatest moral teachers
that the world has seen-Moses, Bud
uAds JCSuS anu
were born Of Asian parents, and
lived upon Asian soil. Roughly speak
ing. their creeds may be said to have
divided the conquest of the universe.
The most famous or the wisest OF
kings-Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar. Cy-
rus, Timur, Baber, Akbar-have sat
upon the Asian thrones. Thither the
great conqueror Of the Old World
turned aside for the sole theater be-
fitting so enormous an ambition. The
three most populous existing empires
Great Britain, Russia and China-are
Asian empires, and 1t is because they
are not merely European but Asian
that the two former are included In
the category. To Asia we owe the
noblest product of all literature, in the
Old Testament of the Hebrew Scrip
lures; the sweetest Of lyrics, in the
spithalamium Of a Jewish king; the
embryos of modern knowledge, in the
empiricism of Arabian geometers and
metaphysicians. In Asia the drama was
born. There the greatest writer OF an
tiquity chose scene for his immortal
epic. There, too. the mariners COM
pass first guided men over the painless
waters. In our own times alone 1t is
with her aid that we have arrived at
the evolution Of three new sciences
comparative mythology. comparative
Jurisprudence, and philology. From
Asia we have received the architecture
of the Moslem-that most spiritual and
refined OF human conceptions-the por-
celain of China. the faience Of Persia.
Rhodes. and Damascus. the infinitely
ingenious art of Japan. On her soil
was reared the most astonishing of
all cities. Babylon; the most princely
of palaces, Persopolis; the stateliest of
temples, Angkor Wat; the loveliest of
tombs, the Tai Mahal. There, too, may
be found the most wonderful of Ma
ture's productions-the loftiest noun
tains on the surface of the globe, the
most renowned, If not the largest, of
rivers, the most enhancing Of land
scapes. In the heart OF Asia lies to
this day the one mystery which the
nineteenth century has still left for
the twentieth to explore-viz., the Tib-
etan oracle OF Lhasa.
