1.-THE fact is that the interference of
the trade union is so vexatious and arbi-

disposed to make almost any sacrifice to
get rid of it, and it appears to me that
the only hope lies in the direction of the
Federation of the Employers.

ABOUT TRADE UNIONS.
What Sir Hiram Maxim Has to Say
About Them.

About Them.
Chalmers Roberts reports in the June
Worlds Work a conversation with Sir
Hiram Maxim on British and American
trade matters. What Sir Hiram says
about trades unionism in England is par
ticularly interesting at this time.
The British manufacturer" he says,
has a far greater difficulty to contend
with than that Of tools. A very clever
Scotchman, who was once manager of
our works, says the greatest obstacle he
mad to contend with was Organized idle
ness: Trades unionism has reached a
development in England beyond that of
any other part of the world. The Anal
gamated Society Of Engineers resort to
every trick and expedient to limit the

1ority Of the employers treat their men
with absolute justice. If the men were
lett to themselves they would probably
very soon see that it was to their inter
est to do their best and look upon their
employers as friends and benefactors
But the working man has been taught by
the professional agitator that his great
est enemy is his employer lie is made
to believe that to be a capitalist is to be
a criminal, and to cheat his master is the
only way to get square with him, and he
IS foolish enough to pay the man who

him to live without working"

Wireless Telephony.

Berlin Correspondence Of the London Standard
It is part of the business of the managing
committee of the international fire brigade
exhibition here to demonstrate to the
numerous visitors by experiments the prac-
tical value and significance of the most
modern inventions and discoveries. The
main attraction in this respect is at pres
ent the production of the singing bow
lamp the very great Importance of which
for wireless telephony was theoretically
and practically demonstrated for the first
time by the Frankfort physicist DR.. Sim.
Wireless telephony will, of course play a
highly important part in the future, espe-
cially in all matters connected with naviga-
tion and warfare Huge refiectors with
bow lights of total strength of 10000

on any fixed point, as. for example ship

fector are united, the telephonic apparatus
is set in motion-the luminous cone acting

on which wireless telephony Is based are

Flight of the Butterfly,
From Eyerybody's Magazine.


In our growing apprehensions of the
linked life Of the universe the flight Of the
butterfly has gained a significance and in
terest far beyond the casual appreciation
OF Its radiance and grace 1t is no longer
as the frivolous saunterer. who through
the sunny days fiutters his life away
among perfumed petals, that he figures.
The beauty has its function and subseryes
a vital purpose In the economy of nature
Like the bee, the butterfly is a workman
In Gods garden, and his mission to carry
pollen from blossom to blossom thus fer
tillzing and cross-fertilizing the seeds.
Without these winged messengers of the
air more than half the flowers in the world
would be exterminated. Not only do they
add TO the color and loveliness of sum
mers pageantry, but assist In it's creation.
Does 1t not ripen the interest of the spec
tacle to realize that the swarm of opaies-
cent insects one sees in the meadows,
eddying In the golden sunlight, rising and
railing In lazy abandon, swaying drowsily
on the clover blossoms or balancing on the
petals OF the new-opened violets, In an
existence apparently fetterIess and fancy
free. are really seriously at work perform
ing the function Of their being?

The Earliest Art,

From the London Chronicle.
The Mycenean civilization has at the mo-
ment especial interest on account Of
the unprecedented light thrown upon it by
the excavations in Crete, for there can be
no doubt that it was the same widespread
rule which had it's center, now in Crete
and now in Argoiis. The Cretan finds are
even more general and more illuminating
than those of Tiryns, Mycene or the My
cenean city of Troy. The life of 1900
b. c. comes vividly before us at Knossos
We have the glowing frescoes and highly
modelled stucco reliefs of the palace Of
Minos, the pottery that was in daily use,
the handwriting, and many illustrations of
the religious cult-even. only few weeks
ago, the backgammon board of the king.
The picture of Mycenean life is being filled
in: the wall paintings of tightly-laced and
bedizened ladies, with rouged cheeks and
scarlet lips, portray the same race as do
the great gold rings from Mycene, on
which are women with barred breasts and
wide-frilled skirts The already famous
bull of Knossos, believing with starting
eyes, Is the counterpart Of the bull of
Tiryns. rushing in mad career, and of the
enraged creature tossing in his captor's
nets, on the golden cup of Vaphio Vivid
naturaiism, and extraordinary freedom of
technique, entire absence OF convention
ality, are the salient qualities of the art
that produced them all.

THE READING CURE,
value of n Pleasant Voice as an Anti
dOte for Pain and Weariness.

From the New York Sun.
There Is one accomplishment that self
supporting women would do well to ac-
quire, remarked tired doctor, "and that
is reading aloud. For people who are con-
valescing or suffering from a slow, tedious
ailment, | know of no attention mora bene-
ficfal than occasional entertainment of this
kind. l recommend it for all my patients
but l often have trouble in filling my own
prescription for the simple reason that it is
hard to find a person whose voice is sooth-
Ing to representative nerves or an invalid.
In the homes of the weIl-to-do one would
naturally expect to find the women of the
family possessed of voices well modu-
lated that their reading would be a pleas
ure to the ear, but in reality such is sell
dom the case. Invariably, when l prescribe
course of light reading as an antidote to
pain and WEAKNESS, the patient replies with
the question. But who is going to do the
reading?
The upshot of the matter is that I vol
unteer to send somebody in to read for
an hour or so each day, and then 1t Is up
to me to provide the reader This is not
easy to do. for while very few native-born
Americans are illiterate, there are still
fewer who are fitted to dispel the tedium of
a sick room by turning themselves into pro-
fessional readers. Not fnfrequently | find

worse, and, in short, fail to get any mean

probably get at the gist of 1t for them
selves, but they totally fail to convey it to
another.

combination of the graces Of a plea asant

quick perception of the meaning Of a

Eskimo Time Table.

How do the Eskimos tell timer was

ing something about the long arctic day"

question was natural one.
They have two different methods" he
replied, according to the interval of time

start on Journey and ask an Eskimo how
long 1t will take, he will tell you three
sleeps or four sleeps. corresponding to
the number of days the trip will take, but
he knows nothing about day-only that
ever SO often he has to stop to sleep. And
fortunately the Eskimo finds 1t con-
yenient to sleep about once in twenty
four hours, so that his sleep means prac
tically day.

Chinese Boxers In London.
From the London Globe

The discovery that the Chinese troupe
which has been for some time acting in the
spectacle at EarPs Court contains no fewer
than seventeen Of the redoubtable Boxers
supplies in our very midst an example OF
that dspassionate and almost inhuman
Chinese shrewdness which il would be hard
to beat. After such incidents as those OF a
short twelve months ago, to members OF
very few races, it Is safe to say, would the
idea commend itself of settling in an en-
emy's capital city and engaging as a means
of livelihood in a daily theatrical display
Strong even though the presumption might
be of escaping detection, the situation
would seem little too strained and risky
to be entered upon In perfectly gratuftous
and voluntary spirit; while If fear of de-
lection was actually SO slight as to afford
a prevailing sense of security, the position
would seem to be one of the most subtle
and sardonic humor. In the Chinaman,
and perhaps in him alone, a situation of
this kind neither suggests the slightest
nervous terror nor eXcites the smallest
sense of inconsistency, and one scarcely
knows whether more to envy them their
national lack Of nerves or to pity their
want of humorous perception. One to most
occidental minds seems as unnatural as the
other: and such incidents as the present
forcibly recall to our memories De Quin-
cey's saying that the Chinese seemed to
him less human and more repulsive than

1t is really too bad that his majesty OF

fig for business today. Mr.. and Mrs
John Bull and the babies are going to en-
joy themselves without the slightest ref
erence to desks, dividends ledgers, income
tax, Beers and all the rest OF the foI-de-
rol; for on bank holiday nothing is OF
any consequence except the noble art of
being merry. If while little Tommy stands
on his head on Hampstead Heath in the
fullness of his joy. Mr. Bull takes to ru-
minating and thinking things over In order
to arrive at some conclusion as to where
ne Is, he will realize. If he reasons prop
erly. that there is no earthly obstacle to
his joining Tommy in his acrobatics and
waving his own legs in the atmosphere
from pure light-heartedness.
England is rich and happy and well gov
erned, and comfortable. cozy place In
which to dwell. So away with dull care
and hurrah for vigorous time on heath
and beach. 1t is a fine thing TO give the
cash books and the day books to the spi-
ders for one whole work day, and let the
mice play hide and seek in the board room
Of the tiresome company that is always
holding stupid solemn meetings and de-
claring silly old dividends.
1t Is glorious to drag the managing editor,
or the banker, or the superintendent. or
the workman from his place of business,
scamper with him over the hills, duck him
in the wavelets of the channel or watch
him gambol on the soft green sward. 1t is
good alike for his head and for his liver.
He comes back to his desk less Of an old
fogy. If he has been one, and more of
human being.
And If you can get him into an omnibus
with half a dozen, of the children OF
other people overflowing on his lap and
treading on his feet so much the better
for him. A comprehensive knowledge of
humanity is good for all of u.s. The golf
players will return from the links better
beings. Even the perjured fishermen, with
their stories of the immense creatures that
just managed to escape their hook, will
be improved by their holiday, even though
they return with souls bruised and dented
by preyarication.
