WORLDS DEBT GROWS.

A Paris paper. lie Matin, mas been

the Napoleonic wars. II was $S,4O0,000;
and in 1901 it aggregated s3l 800, OO0..

in a century. Notwithstanding the 81.
gantic wars that unsettled part OF the
world early in the last century, the
worlds debt increased only at the IA.
Ito of three to one the growth during
the second part OF the century being
at the ratio OF ten to one.
Towards the increase of the worlds
debt. each nation has contributed ia
quota excepting Great Britain, which
reduced It's debt by Sl,O00,O0O in forty
years Though this has probably been
wiped out since l9OD. and the United
States which reduced its liabilities oy
more than 81. 100000. Austria has
increased its debt within fifty years By
81, 100, 900, 900; that of Germany has
grown from $l1G.OOO,O0O in 1870 tC
| 1853. 100000; that of Italy from 81,
400, 5000 in 1869 TO $2,5S3,OOO,OOO;
while that of Russia, which was only
500. 600. 900 in 1855, exceeded $4,000,
0OO,OO in 1900. But France is an cas-!
winner with a present debt OF $500,
100000 as compared with sl,OOO.OO0
900 in 1862.
There is q notable difference in thu
objects for which the debts Of nations
have been partly incurred. During tn,
last quarter of century in the Ger
manic and Slavic group, borrowing
have mainly been for the purchase o
I construction Of railways which give
return in revenue. The Latin nations
which have increased their debts b.
Ave billions of dollars during the sam
period have little TO show in the M
turC of reproductive works. Spain an
Italy have almost doubled their debts
France has almost trebled hers. Will
France has probably spent more tha
any other nation on her railways, sh
has to wait until 1854 before acquirIn
their ownership.

The announcement Just made by u
cred means whereby writing may be
transmitted in autograph for long dis
tances just as telegraphic messages are
carried but adds another to the al
ready long list of electrical marvels
which have been introduced during the
past few years. Undoubtedly the most
amazing of all these late discoveries
in the world of electrical science is the
invention of Philip X. Stern. an Am
erican electrical engineer. He calls his
marvellous brain child the teloptoscope,
and has actually demonstrated that by
its use II is possible to transmit color
ed pictures by wire. having them re-
produced in all the vividness of their
original colors at point hundreds OF
miles distant. Most wonderful OF all,
the claim is made by the inventor that
the teloptoscOpe will make photo
graph at the sane time that a picture
Is being transmitted and while II is in
view. If this claim Is borne out by the
later experiments, It will be possible to
secure photograph within a very
short time after a negative has been
exposed. perhaps thousands of miles
away. This latter accomplishment Is
rendered possible by splitting the image
received in the transmitter so that part
Of the light received is reflected on 4
very sensitive Photographic plate.

WORKING FOR CIVILIZATION.



In his Memorial Day address at Ar
llngton Cemetery, President Roosevelt
made the defense of the army In the
Philippines the occasion for defining.
and also for defending, the American
policy in the islands. That policy Is
still the mission of benevolent as
similation" defined by the late Presi-
dent Mckinley in the early stages OF
the conflict, with the difference that
President Roosevelt accepts as posi-
BILE an ultimate solution of the Philip
pine problem similar to the present out
come OF our intervention in the island
OF Cuba. The army is being used to
hiring peace to the islands. in order
that it may be supplanted by civil gov
eminent. "Other nations have con-
quered to create irresponsible military
rule. We conquer to bring Just and
responsible civil government to the
conquered" When that is accomplished
when the people of the Philippine ISL
ands have been taught both how to
enjoy and how to make good use OF
their freedom; when they have thus
shown their capacity for real freedom
by their power of self-government,
then, and not till then, will it be pos
sible to decide whether they are to
exist independently of us or be knit
to us by ties of common friendship and
interest"
In preparing the way for this alter
native our civil and military represen'
tatives ARE doing a great work for
civilization, a great work for the honor
and the interest Of this nation, and
above all for the welfare of the inhabi'
tants of the Philippines" 1t is, in fact
the task to which the President refer
red in his message to Congress last De
'ember. in the remarkable passage IL
which he declared that I'VE hope to dc
For them what has never before beer
lone for any people of the tropics-tt

and partisanship aside, every intelli
gent and patriotic American can an'

purpose and hope.

A most important document on the
subject OF acetyleno generators has just
been made public in the report of the
parliamentary commission of experts
who have been examining the merits
of acetylene gas machines offered com
mercially in Great Britain. Forty-siX
machines, of different make, were eX
amined and the report states they all
were found to be safe under the condi-
tions OF the test. The yield of gas In
the different machines ranged from
over 80 per cent of the gas-producing
capacity Of the carbide used down to
65 per cent. The commission does not
favor automatic machines, as under
the varied conditions of use to which
the generators are exposed under
everyday conditions. especially with
unskilled labor, trouble may arise
from the automatic apparatus, many OF
which are quite complicated. 1t is in
teresting TO learn that all machines of
fered are practically safe, and that the
type of machine may effect the yield o'
gas to the extent Of 80 per cent.

OF turf are treated daily. The plant
consists OF twelve retorts, or furnaces,
in which the heat is produced electri-
cally. Turf which has previously been
pressed to free 1t from the greater
parts of its moisture is distilled in these

A Porto Rican industry which promi-
ses brilliant future is that of raising
silk worms. Important experiments in
raising silk worms have been going on
in San Juan for three months. The
result OF the tests has been highly gra-
tifying. and 1t has been proved beyond
a suspicion of doubt that there can be
raised in Porto Rico a silk worm
which will make the largest cocoon
known to naturalists; a cocoon which
is three times larger than that made by
the Japanese worm and twice as large
as that of the French and Spanish
WORM. 1t has also been positively prov
ed that this silk is the equal in quality
of any which is known, and that its
lowest price in the market is $75 q
hundred pounds.

A trackless trolley has been run with
considerable success in Germany. and
now q similar line is about to be built
at Franklin. n. II. In place of the
usual overhead trolley wire there are
two wires, one above each side of the
car. which serve the purpose of the
overhead wire and the rail Two troll
ley poles connect the car with the
wires, allowing play enough for the car
to deyiate about ten feet, when need
be. from its ordinary course. When
cars have to pass the motorman of one
merely has to remove his trolleys from
the wires for a moment while the other
car slips past. The ability to change
direction within limits. of course, will
be necessary to allow passing other We
hicles on the road. The basic idea Of
such line is not a new one. AS fal
back as 1882 Siemens & Haiske ran {

idea was not further developed at tn
time, however, and nothing practica
was done in this direction until com
