REALIZED RESPONSIBILITIES OF WEALTH
N ANSWER TO AN ARTICLE BY MRS. RUSSELL
By ELLEN HA1NEs Director Of wnen Work.

One of the ladies of the church was as
tonished some time ago to find how much
the tenement house people paid for coal
The average price for summer coal is
about s. These people by buying in small
quaatities-by the bag or pail-paid S12-
Now it would have been an easy matter
for my lady to have drawn her check for
a good round sum and presented the peo-
pie, in whose behalf SIZE was interested.
with plenty of fuel for the winter But
no; her charity was of far wider
reach She purchased large quantity OF
coal in the summer at IS a ton, and when
coal sold for 81 a ton in the winter she
sold 1t at s. a ton to those who formerly
had paid Sl2
And I think this truer spirit OF helpful
ness is more and more manifest through
out the city and throughout the world to-
day than ever before. Charity-true
charity-is more Of a conservation" than
ever. It is becoming truer to its real
meaning. truer to the definition given it
years ago by Him who said; Charity
vaunteth not itself, is not easily pulled
up, doth not behave itself unseemly-" For
charity is love. and love IS the end and
aim Of life here and hereafter

and this is the place where the members
Of the Madison Square Church make their
point Of contact They are the workers
in all departments-the true helpers.
And it IS not all work. either. Today
the wealthiest lady in the church has per-
sonalIy taken the graduating class of the
kindergarten department = fourteen in
number-to the circus. No check was
sent. No perfumed note came, with the
request that the money be spent where it
would do the most good The lady came
in person and invited her young friends,
as she would the members of any box
party to any place of amusement. Last
Saturday two OF three of our Weather
girls took thfrty-five other girls to she
same entertainment. and one of the gen
tIemen is to take seventy-fve Of the men
and boys. And thus every department Of
work and play is carried on by those most
interested in the house; and what cannot
be done by individuals is carried on by
means Of committees; and on these COM
mittees are bankers and lawyers, men in
business and in politics, who come with
their wives and daughters and give Their
hearts while they plan with their brains
and pay from their pockets.

A college professor has been descantfng
to his classes on the subject of the abb
surdity of wedding rings and evening
clothes in modern life. He said that the
wedding ring was a relic Of the time
when a woman wore a manaeIe &c keep
her from getting away from her lord snd
master, and that the swaIIow-tafI coat
was simply the hunting eoat-a froek coat
with the front cut away and buttons sew
1t was used as a hunting jacket He seem
ed to think there was something fnappro-
pirate in the fact that modern eiviliza-
ton still clings TO these and other fea-
lures CT an outworn past.
Truly. it may be absurd. but perhaps It
is Just as ridiculous to make such an ado
about small matter. This college pro-
fessor has overlooked a patent fact. and
it is this. When a custom which is 4
relic Of another custom continues 20 be
observed. the reason is that 1t fills some
kind of a demand at the present day-per-
haps not the same demand as that which
originally created it, but all the same a
demand. In the case of the ring and the
coat there is plenty of reason for the
continued existence OF both articles. They
are good and pretty in themselves
The conventional evening coat is part
OF a costume which is. Oh the whole,
more becoming to the average man than
any other COSTUME OF civilized society

DIFFICULTY OF SIGNALING BY SOUND AT SEA

lance of three miles. and was not heard
again uatil within quarter of a mile of
the station The lighthouse keeper
heard the steamers whistle all the time.
In another case sthere was heard after
each sound of the whistle a distinct echo
from the broad, unobstructed ocean,
which was attributed rightly to refiee-
ton from the crests and hoIIows of the
waves" This echo is very often report
ed AT another time. with the wind less
than half a mile an hour. the sound of a
whistle was heard one and one-half miles
against the wind and five miles with it,
while an hour and half later, with the
wind ten and one-half miles an hour,
whistles were heard four and one-half
miles against the wind and five miles with
It. At Block Island an observer on the
beach heard the whistle of a departing
vessel, the sound travelling against the
wind, for only one minute, while another
in a tower zoe feet high. heard the whis-
tie four and one-half minutes. On an
other occasion, the sound travelling with
the wind, the observer in the tower heard
the sound for afteen minutes, while the
one at the base heard it for thirty-four
minutes. This observation is much more
pronounced than usual; still series OF
observations showed that in hearing

LMOsT every serious accident in

[ ! shipwreek, results in many wise
remarks and conclusions as to the
effectiveness Of the crew on the one hand,
and on the other to elaborate suggestions
for signal systems. Both are applicable
and efficient under strictly normal condi-
tions. and both fail in the exceptional
case.
Anyone who has been out on the water
in a fog knows how difficult it is to fix the
direction from which the sound is COM
iEg. If this could be done reliably and
regularly most Of the accidents would be
avoided
More than thirty years ago this prob
lem engaged the attention OF the light
house board. ard elaborate experiments
were carried out under the direction Of
Joseph Henry. the first secretary Of the
Smithsonian Institution Such men as
" 3. Taylor. G. G. Stokes, and John
