Technical Education and Trade.
The question OF the influence OF
technical education upon trade has
lately been much discussed ii Eng
land. The president OF the Society
of Chemical Industry In Liverpool
gives some Of the reasons why Ger
many Is now advancing 80 rapidly, as
follows: 4. Superior economy, thor
oughness, attention to detail. Q. The
possession Of q large number Of men
trained not only technically, but lib
orally. 8. A close alliance Of legisla.
ton and of science with the interests
of trade. 4. A national system Of
railways and canals. s. Cheap skill
ed labor working long hours. s. A
large supply Of unskilled laborers
already trained to habits Of order and
discipline by army service. z. Protec-
tive tariffs. 8. A good system Of pat
emit laws. He proposes these remedies
for England. l. The appointment. Of
minister OF commerce. 2. The
naturalization Of railways and can
ais. 8. The extension and improve
ment of secondary education. 4. A
reform OF patent laws. The question
discussed is acute in England, and
it is not without interest in America.
The remedies proposed are not at all
needed here. and to some Of them,
at least, consent could not now be oh.

Observations Of the Sun.

A complete observation of all the
variable elements of the sun Is neces-
sary If we are to obtain the key to
solor phenomena and to their connec-
ton with weather, magnetic elements
and other terrestrial matter. The
suns face must be photographed daily
so as to record all spots, faculae, etc.;
the entire chromo-sphere must also
be registered, preferably by automatic
spectrographs, and the radial veloci-
ties of prominences must be deter
mined, also automatically. The spec
troscopic observations outlined in
what precedes are regularly made at
the observatory Of Meudon and no
where else on the earth at the pres
ent time. The spectroheliograph
used by Hall of Chicago was not re-
mounted when the Yerkes Observa-
tory was established in 1897. Eng
land has lately resolved to begin q
series of observations like those of
Meudon and Chicago at two stations
one at home and one in India.

she became a blessing and an inspir-
alton to every friend and acquaint-
ance. The young gravitated to her
room for happy chats for she and the
hill loved sunshine; the old came
there for peaceful talks, for she and
the hill loved twilight. Gradually a
broader culture spread through her
circle, for one lived ones highest
when in the presence of these two.
who kept their faces so firmly turned
toward the purer light of Heaven.
Once she grew very i'll, and it
seemed that she must leave, but as
she lay weak and powerless a little
neighbours boy came. He pleaded
and was admitted. and, standing tim
idly beside the bed, he laid bunch Of
trailing arbutus upon the pillow as he
said, II found it on the hill that you
can see from your window" 1t was
message to her and she knew that
her work was yet unfinished.
Then, when she grew stronger
again, with the pearlish tintings Of
those dainty blossoms still a. part of
her soul, with the perfume like the
faintest sigh of an angel, still upon
| her, she wrote her first nature poem,
not for fame this time, but from the
| necessity of love. The mother found
it and sent it away and when it met
the eyes of public they caught the
refreshing, pungent air of truth to
nature and they caught the delicate
| breathing of beauty exquisite.
Happy work then followed, and
when fame came soon thereafter it
was sweeter to the girl because it
came as the benediction of the hill.
One day sweet girl friend had
come for sympathy in a new found
happiness. It seemed to ennoble and
sanctify her love still more to confess
to this gentle priestess and to feel
these poet fingers upon her hair. At
last she raised her face, the bushes
still showing warm in the sunsets
afterglow.
you are gaining strength, dear
heart, and some time you, too, will
love. But how gentle and true and
noble must be the prince to chain
your heart"
Softly came the reply. II thinl
not, dear. have found my work, and
my life is rich and full"
Her other hand dropped upon her
latest book of poems, that which she
called '"The Soul of a HILL" and as
her eyes, glowing with faith and peace
and deep serenity, turned through
evenings grayness toward a wooded
upland, she murmured in beautiful
contentment, "And Nature never did
betray the heart that loved her."

The Question of Fuel.

Every one is familiar with discus
sions about the rate at which the
worlds coal supply is being exhaust
ed. Attention may be called to the
possibilities of wood systematically
cultivated for fuel. Helmholtz snow.

OF the vegetable growth on given
area Of land is about 1-1477th part of
the heat delivered by the sun to the
same area. By planting rapidly grow.
ing timber in tropical countries the
German rate can be increased about
fifteen times so that about one per
cent of the thermal energy poured
upon the land by the sun may be
stored as wood fuel. Taking 4,OO0,-
100000 acres of land as available for
forest cultivation it follows that q
perpetual fuel product Of thirty times
our present coal supply might be
secured. And moreover, is it hope.
less to expect that a way will be
found to store the energy daily re-
ceived from the sun and to do away
with fuel altogether?

/. Oil Burner for Stoves.

In these days of worry over lack of
fuel, when people are wondering how
they are to heat their buildings and
cook their food, numerous schemes are
being proposed in solution of the
problem. Among these substitutes for
coal one Of the most prominent and
successful is petroleum, and it is a
special form of burner for this fuel
which is pictured below, the origina-
tor of the invention being Elmore
Stewart of Los Angeles, Cal. The
claim is made that this burner can be
used in connection with q cooking or
heating stove, hot-air furnace, steam
and water-heating system, steam boil

stars Recorded by Photography.

Stars Recorded by Photography.
The number of stars recorded on q
photograph" plate depends not only
on the region of the heavens to which
the telescope is directed, but on the
length of exposure. At the Bonn OBJ
servatory q map of the northern
heavens was made showing every
star visible in small telescope Of
about three inches aperture. If we
call the number of stars shown on
this map unity the Greenwich photo
graphs with an eleven-inch telescope
show that in twenty seconds three
and a half times as many stars are
recorded; in six minutes fifteen and
half times as many, and in forty
minutes seventy-three times as
many. By increasing the exposure
more stars are visible, but the in.
crease is not indefinitely great. So
far as these observations go they
show either that the number of stars
is not infinite, or that the light of
stars is absorbed in space.

explosions of Mont Pelee were heard
by himself and many others, a rev.
olution was In progress in Venezuela
and the Inhabitants of certain towns
thought the sounds due to artillery
which was not the case. The consul's
servant, without orders, brought a
horse saddled and bridled, saying
that he was sure the consul would
wish to go to the city, where a big
battle must be going on, judging from
the cannonading. The consul de.
scribes the noise as not at all like
the reports of heavy guns. It was not
like thunder, nor the strange rum
bling of earthquakes, but as If i'm
mense explosions were taking place
high in the air. There can be no
doubt, from the dates and times, that
these sounds were due to Mont Pelee.

Electricity.

The latest word on electricity is
to the effect that it is a material sub
stance. It's unit, the electrone, forms
an infinitesimal part OF the atom of
any element, and when split off 1t
produces a stress in the other similar
to that due to negatively electrified
body. The severing Of the electron
from its atom Is the generation Of
electricity. The remainder Of the
atom acts as "a positively charged
body. but It is not certainly known
whether the positive electron-sup-
posed to be about ten times as heavy
as the negative really exists.
