The Boer war has demonstrated that
the notion of military affairs in Eng
land is wrong and that Of warfare
obsolete. If we may trust report the
famed armies Of Germany and France
are not ordered on a much better IN
derstanding The old European Idea
of massive formation, Of automatic pre-
cision in drill, Of parade excellence,
still answers the ideal. Armies, how
ever large, made up in this way can
make little impression on the loose for

ship and individual initiative that char
acterizes the Boer army, If one may
call their commanders by the name Of

years ago I2sarlem lake was dralne0
and more than 10000 people are living
on what vas once the bed Of the lake.
Euyder Zee, which contains more than
1900 square miles, was of trihing eX-
tent until All Saints day in l247, when
the North Sea swallowed up large
tract Of country. So the Netherlanders
in shutting out the sea are only re-
claiming what rightfully belongs 10
them. It is not yet decided whether
the work will be done by inclosing
with dixie a large tract now under
water and then pumping this into the
sea or by constructing one great barrier
dixie and reclaiming the inclosed area
by installments. The latter plan Is the
more ambitious and more expensive,
but doubtless more economical In the
end. 1t would require eighteen years
and tine cost would be $40,O00,OOO. 1t
is proposed to raise the sum by loan
and to pay 1t off, principal and inter-
est, in sixty years. The patience, en-
ergy and thrift Of the Netherlanders
make the big enterprise thoroughly
feasible. In song and story their mer-
it's have been recognized, and it was
not without reason that Goethe in his
greatest poem made the Dutch the type
of an industrious, happy people, the
possessors Of a free soil gained not by
conquest over a weaker people, but by
an honest wrest from the shadows OF
the sea that which was lawfully its
| Own.

The experience of Buffalo is discour-
aging to those who are planning similar
undertakings elsewhere. But great ex-
hibitions should never be projected with
any idea of immediate profit. The Cen
tennial Gid not pay for itself, yet it was
one of the very best investments that
Philadelphians ever made and Of meal
culable benefit to the whole nation. No
one can pretend to estimate the univer
sal gain from the great Columbian fair,
If only in the aesthetic interest 1t
awakened, and Chicago has profited
from it largely, although it must have
involved at the time a heavy financial
loss in that community. The value of
an exhibition is not to be measured by
its receipts and expenses, but by it's
character and influence.

moved straight fer the curve of the
horseshoe falls. A little to the Cana
dian side Of the center Of the falls the
barrel took it's plunge and dropped,
clouded in mist, to the lower river, a
distance of 158 feet.
While the desperate plunge was being
taken thousands of spectators held
their breath in anxiety and suspense,
be fatal and that another would be
added to the long list of the victims of
Niagara. Two minutes after the plung-
ing barrel had been lost in the mist Of
the tremendous cataract it appeared in
the seething white water below the
falls. 1t gradually was carried by the
current to the Canadian side and was
hauled ashore. The top was hastily
sawed off and Mrs. Taylor was taken
out. She had suffered a confusion on
the right side of the head and had re-
ceived numerous bruises on the body.
Her nervous system had suffered a Sc
we're shock and since then she has been
afflicted with severe headaches. Ex-
actly fifty minutes had elapsed from
the time she was sent adrift until she
was released from the barrel. When
she reached her hotel she broke down
and wept.
When she was rescued the barrel was
one-third filed with water. The ire
mendous pressure had forced the water
through the air tube which connected
with small opening near the top of
the barrel.
Mrs. Taylor is a native of Auburn,
N. Y. She is a graduate of the State
Normal School at Albany and has
taught school in Texas and more re-
Gently at Bay City, Mich. She owns a.
ranch in Texas and it was with the
view Of making money by exhibiting
herself and her barrel and lifting a
mortgage on the ranch that she made
her perilous trip through Niagara rap
Ids.

Boston streets, where traffic is heavy,
are paved with granite blocks set on a

are filled with mixture of cement and

sets. Such a surface is expected to
last for decades.

A policeman then appeared on the
scene and escorted Mrs. Nation to the

jeering sympathizers with the joint
keepers. The crowd attempted to
enter the building but the police pre-
vented. Mrs. Nation then went to the
Office of the city attorney and swore
out a warrant for her assailant. On
being informed there were more than
a hundred saloons in the city, Mrs.
Nation threw up her hands in Horror
