A ~CANALBOAT VILLAGE.
Every Inch of Space Is Utilized In
Their Tiny Cabins.

People who object TO living in snug
quarters and think that love in a cot

continual affection, should go and take
a look at the cabins in the canalboat
village In New York harbor. Those who
are preparing to live In trunks ana

WINDMILL IN A TREE.

Happy Blending of Nature and Me-
charicai Construction.
A windmill is apt to be a very prosaic
and ugly construction, but many at
tempts have been made with varying
success to beautify these very useful
and economical power producers. Our
engraving Illustrates how nature and
mechanics are sometimes blended. The
trees serve only as a support for the
platform at the top, and as side rails
of a ladder, it being necessary only to
provide rounds. The trees serve also
to stay the iron supports. The wind
mill, which was built by j. G. Benster,

MACHINE MADE roRcHoN LACE.
Austrian Invention initiates Hand
Made Product.

Some fair limitations of handmade
lace are already manufactured. by ma
chinery. A recent invention by an
Austrian named Matitsch renders 1t
possible to reproduce one more variety,
known as torchon lace. The real ar
ticle Is a moderately coarse but pretty
lace and Is used on garments which II
is desirable to put through a laundry.
Herr Matitsch, after being associated
with the lace industry In Vienna and
%inventing a machine which did not give
satisfactory results. went to Noting
ham. England. where he perfected the
model In 1899. 1t was then necessary
to make the jacquards for each pattern
that 1t was desirable 10 produce. This
part Of the work was performed upon
the inventors return to Vienna. Hith-
erto II has been necessary to have a
separate machine for each design.
With the Matitsch machine 1t Is only
necessary to substitute one jacquard
for another. as In weaving cloth.
The inventor does not intend to or
ganize a company to make lace, says
the New York Tribune. or even the pro-
duction Of more machines. He has al
ready put nearly 100000 into his ex-
periments and is now looking for a
company to buy his rights. The Not
tingham lace manufacturers profess
not to be disturbed by the prospect Of
competition and say that the Matitsch
machine Will injure French manufac-
turers chiefly. In Vienna the papers
think that a new era in lace making is
ahead.

Cuba and the PHILIPPINES.

To employ the vernacular you can't lose
the anti-imperialists. Turn them down with
demonstrations in one particular. and forth
with they reappear using those very DEM
onstrat1ns in a restatement of their posi-
ton in another particular
They were absolutely certain at one time
that we would never withdraw from Cuba

sharpened the American appetite for terri

science nat was mere promise. al

American outpost? Pooh, Just wait and
see. The Teller resolution was not worth
the paper it was written on Commercial
ism would find way 10 cheat the Cubans
out Of their own and enrich a few men in
the United States. Hypocrisy would in the
end stand fully revealed.
The falsty of this forecast is now a mat
ter of history. We have withdra wn from
Cuba in less than four years after taking
charge of affairs in the island. and the
Cuban people are loud in their praise of
what We have done for them We have
kept faith with them. have executed our
trust with success. and If the ability to
administer a government of their own is
possessed by them they have now an op-
portuHity to show it.
But does this disconcert the anti-imperiaI-
lists? Not in the slightest. With SNUG
faces and the utmost OF assurance. they
turn now and inquire: Why can't YOU do
that much for the Philippines? Why not
Set up republic there? Why make fish of
the Cubans and flesh of the Filipinos? Has
not Admiral Dewey said that the latter are
superior TO the former? Promise the Fill

meteoric appearance, being metallic in tex

been so frequently reported as falling from
the skies when there was no volcanic erup-
ton to account for them that there is more
reason to accept the Missouri and the Long
Island rocks as meteoric than as volcanic
the eruption's force. the largest vistants
from the volcanoes there active have been
finely pulverized particles of rock, virtually
fiipty sands. There Is thus far no authentic
account Of large rocks flung across the
arms Of the sea from island to island, and
It is altogether improbable that the masses
which have fallen in this country. many
hundreds of miles away from the eruptions,
owe their origin to such a cause. A phe
nomenon for which the scientists are more
eagerly awaiting an aftermath Of the
eruptions Is the reddening Of the skies by
the volcanic dust. About three months af
ter the great eruption of Krakatoa off Su-
matra in 1888 the skies in England were
REDEEMED perceptibly for many days. Some
authorities assert that this dust remained
suspended in the air, gradually settling to-
ward the earth, for fully two years, more
or less palpaby affecting the color Of the
atmosphere Thus far there has been no
distinct coloration Of the skies in this coun-
try, nor have any marked phenomena been
reported in the heavens, such as the forma
ton OF unusual rings around the sun and
moon. Shortly after the Krakatoa eruption
the natives of Ceylon and other points in the
tropics were greatly alarmed by the strange
sights in the skies, unquestionably due to
the eruption.

The Coal Strike

The coal strike situation shifts rapidly
despite the lack of tension at the mines
The pumpmen and engineers have voted
not TO leave the mines even if the ultimatum
pronounced by the miners for presentation
to the operators on the I'd of June is re-
jected. This is a distinct setback for
Mitchell and his forces. for it prevents ty-
ing up the mines by the lack of pumping
crews. 1t furthermore ensures dry mines
for the men to return to Immediately after
the strike is settled, whenever that may
be. So this is factor for peace, although
well for the prolongation of the strike But
there is a new development of another sort
in the dechlon of the soft coal miners OF
West Virginia and Virginia to strike on the
7th of June If their demand for an increa sc
OF wages is not granted This movement
is independent of the plan to call all the
soft coal men out on strike in sympathy
with the anthracite miners. That plan has
halted somehow or Is being held in abey-
ance for some reason which Mitchell, the
leader of all the miners has not divulged
Thus far the hard coal men have behaved
remarkably well. They have kept away
from the mines, have interfered only with
the working Of one washery where coal was
being produced for market, and have alb
stained from any actions calculated to

A Forecast.

The present intention of Congress is APP
parently to pay improperly from the cur
rent revenues of the District the initial
cost of great municipal improvements,
which should be paid by loan, In the form
of an advance from the federal treasury,
and repaid under sinking fund arrange
ment This being done, the income of the
District being radically increased by the
imposition of raordinary tax methods
and the permanent improvements being
cared for out of these suddenly swelled
revenues a surplus is certain to occur in
the account within a very few years as the
current revenues more than meet the cur
rent expenditures. If the future may be
judged by the past. this surplus will prove
too strong a temptation to Congress, and
IL will he spent inequitably more and more
upon improvements affecting the public
buildings and grounds under the magnifi-
cent projects of the park commission. This
is fair assumption. for when the District
was raising more than it was allowed to
spend as its half of the total District main
tenance fund Congress began a series of
encroachments upon the local revenues,
sometimes causing the District to pay a
share of strictly national expenditures,
sometimes refusing to permit the govern
ment to pay its half of Legitimate partner
ship expenses. And so the surplus melted
and became deficit.
When the period of depression in ma
tionaI finances comes again, as it may. and
the republic feels poor. it will refuse to
put up dollar to correspond to every Dis
trict dollar exacted thus in outrageous
amount from the handful of local taxpay
ers. Congress will then say: You raise
enough money yourselves to pay your bills
with rigid economy Then will follow
first indirect and then direct violations of
the organic act, and finally the repeal of
that act and a dissolution of the partner
ship between the government and the Dis

cidity will continue when the funds run low
Is a question. The storekeepers of the min
ing region, according to reports have adopt
ed the cash payment principle In. most
cases. fearing to lose heavily If they give
the strikers credit. This may precipitate a
crisis sooner than would otherwise occur.
One of the elements of danger in such
cases usually is the foreign miner, but in
this strike many hundreds of these have al
ready left the country. preferring to mi
crate during the summer rather than to re-

strikers have moved into the farming re-
gions of the middle west where they are
being eagerly hired by the farmers, who
are In sad need of help. Save for the soft
