The perils of collision at sea hare been

Now the route a steamer follows after

the route taken by steamers bound west.
One steamer. therefore. is little likely to
meet another and come into collision with
her. But these abandoned ships. not being

continual source OF danger. The Gull
Stream carries them northward and then
eastward. and the captains OF incoming
ships have warned the Government OF

Mr.. LAwsoM's CALENDAR.

LEW men in the United States have
more reason to write sarcastic ep-
igrams about the New York stock ex-
change than Thomas w. Lawson Of
Boston; and, by the same token, few
are better qualified, as some Of Mr..
Lawson's writings bear eloquent testi-
mony. To win a friendly wager Law
son got up a calendar for 1902 with an
appropriate motto for each week in the
year on some subject Of special inter-
est to the bulls and pears or the stock
gambiir~ public
''The lett and figures used in the
languag 4 :. e tape" says one of
these. lie very few, but they spell
hell in 100000 different languages -
They haven't spelled anything else for
Lawson since the bear raids in Anal
gamated copper began. IF Rockefel-
Ter, Rothschild or the car of Russia
stacks up against the ticker" he says,
somebody will ride in the ambulance
and it won't be the ticker" True,
true, TOO true. Lawson himself has
kept an ambulance busy for days at
a time.
"a Wall street pilot is one who, tired
of sinking his own craft, sinks others
for salvage" James ). Hill will en-
dorse this If he can be convinced that
it refers directly to the Union Pacific
combination. "A trust is a modern
skyscraper. with foundation of wa
ter, no windows and the roof in the
cellar" Charles N. Schwab of the
[ United States Steel corporation might
give expert testimony on this point
and # he needs backing the court
should subpoena J. p. Morgan and An
drew Carnegie.
'Wall street on dry days amuses it
self by soaking the public-also on wet
days and other days" says the Law
son calendar There are men right
here in Salt Lake Who will rise in their
| places and say Lawson tells the truth
Some more OF his sayings are: There
/ are many philosophers in Wall street
/ but they're all broke; "A lie well told
in Wall street is the truth: Aristotle
must have been flirting with the taps
when ne said the world was made W
of two kinds of people-liars and liars
OF 3 verify. out Of the fullness OF
the heart the mouth speaketh." Law
son should be in literature. He would
] find less excitement in that field than
he finds in Wall street, but he would
] lose considerably less money. With
the advertisement he has had recently
he would be a success either in author
dom or on the stage and sleep better
at night, too We invite him to CONS
out to Salt Lake when he gets tired
Of little old New York and see what
he can do with our mining exchange.
The bitterness Of his 1902 sarcasms
would be like honey on the intellectual
palate as compared with his sayings
for 1903 after a campaign against the
local talent.

KICKING THE FALLEN.

THE REFUSAL Of the Democratic

chusetts 20 cooperate with the Com
monwealth club of Boston IN a recep-
ton to William Jennings Bryan does
not place that committee on a very
high plane before the American public,
regardless of politics. 1t looks entirely
too much like kicking a PROSTATE man.
The Boston reception will doubtless be
a success. even without the assistance
of the committee, but that does not
lesser the gravity Of the indignity
shown. % the man who was twice the
standard bearer Of the national De-
mocracy.
the cooperation Of the Massachu-
sets committee would not have COM
nSitted its members to the support of
Mr. Bryan if ne should be a candidate

tesy from such d source can be called
a snub, is therefore all the more graf
uitous. Mr.. Bryan's personality may
be distasteful to the committee, but as
the most prominent Democrat in the
country for more than s'ght years he
might reasonably have expected decent
treatment, even in narrow, hidebound

HOW SMOKE ExPLoDEs.
Explained and Demonstrated For
Benefit of Insurance. Men.
-Philadelphia Public Ledgerl

philadelphia Public Ledger
How smoke explodes in a burning
building was graphically shown the
Fire Insurance society last night in
its rooms by Underwriters Inspector
William McDevitt. Mr.. McDevitt set q
two-story building, about three feet
high, on a table Then he partly filed
il with smoke from pieces of burnt
wood Thrusting in a gas jet. a smart
explosion followed, and a tongue of
fame and smoke ten feet long shot out
Of the windows. The inspector also
endeavOred TO make, on a small scale,
what firemen call a back draught,
which is really a downward explosion
of smoke through elevator shafts or
stairways where there are iron window
shutters, but the roof of the little house
was blown off, and the smoke went up
instead of downward.
The inspector used only plain wood
to produce the smoke Of his explosions.
Vanished or oiled wood would. he
said. have been more effective, as pro-
dUcing more and thicker smoke. Be
fore giving his practical illustrations
of the explosive force Of hot smoke he
briefly explained the causes of such
explosions. In fire, he said, free car
bon rises and mixes with hydrogen;
methyl alcohol, creosote and other
gases are also present in smoke. These
gases become heated to the point of
ignition and an explosion is the result.
Of itself smoke would explode, he
said at a temperature Of from 600 TO
500 degrees, but frequently il is ignited
by sparks or by coming into contact
with fame.
When the smoke becomes ignited, -
the inspector went on. the interior Of
the building is instantly converted into
a mass of flame. The Hunt Wilkinson
fire strikingly eXemplified that. When
I first saw it the first great volumes of
dense black smoke poured out Of the
windows. Suddenly there was an ex-
plosiOn. and the smoke was trans
formed into such fame as never saw
before"
Very thick smoke when lighted. the
speaker said. becomes a pillar OF fame.
and rolls through a room with such
force as to shake the walls and make
the windows rattle. If sprinkled with
( water there would, be no explosion.
Where formerly fTemen tried to keep
smoke in. under the impression that
it smothered the fire. they row imme-
diately break in windows or skylights
to let it out
Several ways of preventing such ex-
plosions were described by Mr.. Nc
Dewitt. In large stores. he said. if an

ON THE JURY SYSTEM.

JUSTICE DAVID J. BREWER of the
United States supreme court has an
interesting article in the International
Monthly for January on the jury sys-
tenn. It is stripped Of legal p-ofundi-
ties. and many excellent ideas are ad-
vanced. Justice Brewer is in favor Of
reducing the number of jurors and in
creasing their pay. He says they now
receive only the wages of ordinary day
laborers. ana we all know that poor
pay begets poor service.
In the matter OF reducing the num-
Der of jurors Utah has already taken
the advance step suggested by Justice
,rewer. and he makes note of it. We
have not inaugurated other desirable
reforms. however. One of them is the
adjustment of the system of combining
Jurors in important cases. The justice
very properly says that it is unfair to
confine a jury and let the judge go
free. There are as many dishonest
Judges. in proportion. as there are
venal Jurors. Besides. if a juror wants
to be bribed. he will find the way,
W1PTneF ne Is lpCht0 ~ VI MT
The very act of secluding a jury
makes it an object of suspicion. From
the moment It is placed in custody, its
members feel that they are regarded
as dishonest until they can prove them
selves homo eable. and suspecting a man
of dishonesty frequently starts him to
meditating on how he can safely be
dishonest. Justice Brewer would like
and so would we all. to see more repre-
sentative citizens on jurys. In every
COUNTY seat the professional juror
fiourishes. He is always in the way
when tire sheriff comes with his venire,
and MS answers always qualif. him
for service.

often repeat the statement that if

There is a variance from the phono-
graph in this. that it is not necessary

BY manipulating levers and other
devices he forms the sounds of letters
composing the words he wishes to
transmit. The invention has not
reached the point where an entire
word can be sent at one twist of a
crank, but that may yet be accom-
plished. DR.. Marage expects that he
will be able to use his machine for the
benefit of deaf people, as we'll as for
