clipper Ship Model.
Robert Livingston Stevens sailed
from New York to Liverpool before
the advent Of the ocean steamer. In
those days the passage took two
months, and Stevens passed many an
hour, jackknife in one hand and n
piece OF wood in the other. brooding
over d. problem that had often worried
him-how to run a railroad without
stone strlngers for tracks He wanted
to get an Iron rail that would 'hold"
and would take the place of the thin
strips fastened to the chair Of the
roadbed. Just before he reached Eng.
land his whiting revealed TO him the
solution Of his problem, and that so
luton took the form Of 7 rail with
a broad base that could be applied d.
rect to solid wood support. That
T rail is still in use on all railways
of the world.
The elder Cunard, who was nppren'
ticed as a lad to a Scotch shipbuilder.
IS said to have amused himself In
whiting the bulls OF vessels. Occa'

not maintain It's upright position In
the water. Experiments were made
to ballast 1t in order to give IT the
proper trim. The clipper-like shape
and graceful long lines Of the model
promised great speed. Such is said
to be the origin of the standard model
of the Cunard and later ocean grey,

depends upon the depth to which by tho
 aid of scientific engineering it Is prac- 1 ticable to work The fact is. we verify believe, that these distinguished sena-
 tors hardly know the difference be- tween a placer which may be worked out in a year. and a gold or copper ledge which is practically inexhausti. ble.
 Senator Beveridge furnishes a point
 ed example of his own ignorance of the
 mining situation when he refers tp
 Tombstone. He treats Tombstone as
 one of the melancholy" and romantic
 camps about which he has learned from
 Bret Harte. He cites Tombstone as T.
 deserted village which requires merely
 an Arizona Goldsmith to embalm the
 place in classic literature Tombstone.
 he assures us, has been a great camp.
 but it's mines are not now in "operation' although efforts" are being made toward starting them up! He traveled within fourteen miles of Tombstone
 but did not think it necessary 70 go and see it. Had he done so, he would have found nearly one million dollars worth of new machinery. and the great
 ,,lo i,, in very lively operation" He would have found mines which have produced thirty millions of dollars from ground above the water level, and which have proved ore bodies that will easily pro- duce several times thirty millions Of dollars. The senators had abundance of opportunity to learn that the cessa- ton of work on these mines years ago was due entirely to frontier conditions. to lack of railroads, and to lack of CO., operation in handling the water,-to causes in short, which in no sense implied a limitation of the wealth be- meath the surface.
 In reference to the agricultural re- sources of the territory, the committee exhibited the same lack of information. The volume of testimony shows. as does the report itself, that the senators attached remarkable importance to the fact that crops cannot be grown in this region without irrigation. It seems fair to infer that they were greatly surprised, in truth, to learn that this was an arid region. Irriga- ton being necessary, they are willing to concede that there are great possi- 1 bilities for Arizona in the future. but it is thought that it would be better for the territory to go ahead and gain inhabitants to the number of million | and a half-and then the senators will | be willing to consider an application | for admission; provided New York has | not grown too much in the meantime. |

The Entertainment of Distance

The Chicago Tribune of Wednesday page to a reproduction in fac simile Ot
 cable dispatch received by that paper from the private secretary of Dictator Castro of Venezuela. and as printed the dispatch reads.
 Castro aprecia en nombre patria simpatias Estados Unidos actitut Venezuela corresponds intereses Amer icanos amenasadOs en nOsotros en este confiictO representamOs ocasiOnal- mente integridad Americana"
 to which the Tribune appends it's queer translation:
 Castro wishes to express in the name of his country his apprecia ton of the sympathy of the United States manifested toward Venezuela. In this foreign aggression on Venezuela he sees q threat at American interests and believes that the situation may be in terpreted as a blow aimed at American integrity
 The Tribune's translator evidently was determined to give full value. Translated into newspaper English with fidelity to the original, the dis patch reads:
 Castro appreciates in the name of his country the sympathies oi the United States. The attitude of Vene- zuela corresponds to American inter- ests, Which are threatened in us. Tn this conflict We represent, at present American integrity"
 However, the Chicago paper man aged to make it clear that Castro has the nerve to assert that he represents American integrity" Presumably. he refers to the integrity of territory Even he would hesitate, we take it, to say that he stands for American finan- cial integrity. A typical South Ameri- can despot and tyrant, he stands for about everything that is not American, from the viewpoint of the United States. But what We wish to bring out is not the effrontery of this swash- buckler and gilded savage in assuming that he is standing for American in- terests and American integrity, but the remarkable fact that great and inhu- enti1l papers like the Chicago Tribune and the New York World are eager to rush across lots and proclaim to the world that the people of the United States are in sympathy with Venezu- eia. So loudly have the papers of the Tribune-W World class asserted that the recent operations of the British and German fleets have aroused the hostil- ity of the American people toward Great Britain and Germany, that the German government actually within the last few days has deemed it wise to change it's attitude toward Vene- zuela, to a great extent. Venezuela needs Q severe lesson, and there is no reason why the allied powers should not give it to her in a way that she will remember. No reason. unless it be hysteria, can be advanced for the maudlin sympathy for Castro which a

few great American newspapers are 1 expressing.
 But a few years ago President Cleve- land brought this country to the verge or war with Great Britain by taking the side of Venezuela against the British government. The people of Venezuela were so grateful that with in three years thereafter it had be- come unsafe for an American to try to do business in the country, and the American minister was frequently sneered at by Castro. On the other hand. the two great nations of the old world whose diplomacy is always honest, open and above board: the two nations which are so closely united to us by ties of blood and commerce that war with them is not conceivable: the two nations which make no con- cealment oi their earnest desire to be friendly with us before everything else, are merely taking the course with Venezuela which the United States would take under like circumstances they are following the dictates of com mon sense
 We have noted with considerable curiosity that the papers which are all ways so ready to take up the cause of worthless half-breeds in South Am erica. or the cause of savages in Samar or Sulu, or the cause of Boxers in China against the forces of civilization, are always blind to some of the most crying wrongs at home.

President Roosevelt Grasps Hands of
500 People in Space of Eight
Minutes.

President Roosevelt broke all pre-
yious records by shaking hands with
$50 people in the space of eight min
utes in the white house the other
morning. While people were waiting
outside of Secretary Courtelyou's
Office to see the president, the pres
ident quietly slipped downstairs and
had greeted three delegations from
various states before he was missed
from the cabinet room. OF course, the
handshaldng kept every muscle in the
presidents body constantly in mo-
tion, and he worked with his full en-
ergy until the task was over, but even
then he had word for every person
that passed down the line. This is
President Roosevelt's second recep
tion to large delegations by special
appointment since his residence in the
white house. The other morning he
received several hundred sehool-teach
ers from New York. Aside from the
official receptions Of last winter and
the one official reception on New
Years day, when he greeted hundreds
of people not of official rank, the pres
ident has confined his meeting to small
companies in his executive Office. Dur
ing the spring months he win receive
by special appointment delegations
who may wish to touch his hand fol
less than a second. Before reaching
the president the visitors had TO pas.
