Edison on Airships.

Santos-Dumont and Thomas A. Edi-
son met last week and spent an hour to-
gether. The daring young Brazilian
aeronaut was taken on special tour of
inspection through Edlson's great labor
atory and workshops at Orange, N. J.
During the time they were together it de-
veloped that M. Santos Dumont is will
ing to leave France and make New York
the permanent home of his inventions
and experiments. He hopes to equip
his latest flying machine, Santos Dumont
No. 7, with the first wonderful storage
batteries that Edison is now perfecting
for the market Edison by way of en-
couragement said he himself in earlier
days had given considerable thought to
aerial navigation and he believed that
the problem was not difficult. Mr.. Edi-
son congratulated Santos -Dumont on his
achievements and told him to continue
his labors and to work in one direction.
"You have made an airship and have
guided its course" he said, but it is only
step in the solution of the problem of
aerial navigation from a commercial
viewpoint. When the problem is solved
there will be no gas balloon connected
with the flying machine. 1t will be lifted
and propelled by its own energy and not
taken up by lighter fluid. Therefore,
work to constantly reduce the size of the
balloon, and when you have so far pro-
crossed that an inspection of your flying
machine with microscope will not re-
veal the balloon bag the problem will be
settled, and practical, safe, commercial
aerial navigation will be assured" Mr..
Edison said that his wonderful new stor-
age battery was almost ready, and that
the first one turned out should be for
Santos-Dumont's new air ship.

The Reading Public.

A pains taking libral ian has recent
iy shown in striking figures that the
public which consumes a vast number
of new books each year consumes q
vastly greater quantity of periodical
literature. He estimates that of the
forty-five hundred new books issued
annually in the United States, about
ten million copies are printed. OF
periodicals OF every sort more than
four billion copies are put forth.
Allowing for the fact that each book
finds more readers than each copy OF
a periodical, the books which have the
most enormous circulation reach an
audience which seems hardly more
than handful in comparison with
the mighty army OF newspaper and
periodical readers. This army, ac-
cording to the librarians figures, is
recruited from "forty million adults
who could read periodicals if they
would Cut out those who do not,
and what company remains!
The responsibility of supplying this
multitude with most OF its reading
matter is what the publishers have to
face. 1t is argued, with reason, that
through such reading the public is
fitted for the enjoyment of books, So
it is: but those who habituall y read
books may still be said to bear some.

periodical readers that the college,
bred do to those who stop at the gram.
mar school.
The public is said to get what it
wants. If sensational papers abound
the blame may at least be shared be.
tween the readers and those who stand
ready to profit by their lowest tastes.
AS the world grows better the demand
for better things increases. To this
increase each one of US in his several
stations can contribute.

Have our people any real concep-
ton OF the magnitude of the acquisi-
ton involved in the $2O,OOO,OO0 pur-
chase OF the Philippine islands from
Spain? 1t is true that in the pur-
chase OF the Louisiana territory, or
the acquisition OF New Mexico, Ari-
IONA, California and Alaska, a wider
area may have been involved, but in
point Of area, combined with popula-
ton, productiveness, actual and posi-
BILE, and far reaching political prob
lens, these earlier territorial acquisi-
tions were child's play compared tc
the appropriation OF the Philippines.
Take for example the territorial area.
Confined to q dozen or two only OF
the larger and more habitable islands,
they present a surface of some 10000
square miles, equal in extent to all
our states south Of Mason and Dixon's
line and east to the Mississippi except
the Virginias, Florida and Louisiana,
while the population is about the
same. Think OF such an addition at
one swoop of adjacent domain to our
great republic. All Canada or even
Mexico would pale in comparison.
Take for example the island Of Min.
danoa, by no means the largest, and
one of the least developed OF the larg-
er islands. About as large as the state
of Ohio, its entire soil is az rich as
that Of Java. The land once cleared,
the timber paying large profit on
the work, it is open for sugar and
other plantations that will more than
tenfold increase the present produc-
tions OF the island. The magnitude
OF the interest may be estimated from
the fact that there are ia the islands
still over fifty million acres of virgin
timber, upon which only the first in
roads have been made-the timber in
GLIDING trees two hundred feet high
and often four feet in diameter, con.
sisting of mahogany, sandal wood
ETC., nearly all the most valued tim.
Der in the world. In their present
state the islands support in luxurious
ease population of some 100000
What will they not do when yielding
to the immense temptation they offer
to American and other foreign capital
to develop them up to something like
their easy possibilities. In less than
half century fifty millions, instead
Of their present ten, ought to be a
moderate estimate OF their popula.
ton. Well may imagination stagger
in view Of our national responsibilities
involved in the management of such
COLONY" Yet the burden is upon
us, and there are grave doubts whether
any one seriously believes it will ever
be laid down.

The present term OF school has been
very successful one under the able
Instruction and management OF Prof.
Jan Amburgh, Misses Faucher, Grace
Perry, Jessie Rolph, l.. Cornela
Hall, Staser, Mrs. Snowfall and Starr.
Though the school is running very
moothly and great credit and I'M
tinted praise is due teachers and pu-
ills alike, some perplexing problems
ad to be solved. One thing clearly
roven is that it is necessary to build
high school or provide more room
nd seating capacity for next year.
here will be graduations with honors
: the close OF the term, but Ritzville

seeing the ex raordinary necessity
establishing the precedent of fine
