forces which now preserve the inherited
smelling of English But If there is dem

steel high building came in because brick
or stone walls thick enough to support
dozen stories took up SO much valuable
space in the lower stories as to make sky
scrapers on that plan improbable. Two
KEYS in a typesetter are a smaller matter
than that. 1t is a little hard, however, to
see how you can save a great deal of space
by these new letters when to get them you
would have to use two letters for every
''x' and % in the present alphabet. If
the change in the keyboard is made, how
ever the whole country would have to
adopt it. The tyranny of the typesetters
is illustrated by the disappearance of the
accented "e' in French words. In French

names are habitually spelled in most Ameri

them in this incorrect FORM 1t is a mu-
tilaton, but there it no practical help for
it. So If substitutes for "th'' and "sh''
were adopted change which would have
been impossible at any earlier stage in the
history of the language would be forced
into general use in a few years. If that
were done simpler spelling reforms might
be expected to follow in the general shak-
ing up of the language thus mechanically
compelled. Once started upon a crusade
for saving space. the reformers could plow

Paper Making in Canada.

From the London Telegraph.
In Canada the subject Of water power is
obtaining consideration in connection with
various industries. One of these Is the
manufacture of paper from wood pulp. The
dominion contains more spruce. the best
wood for this purpose, than all the rest of
the world put together. and possesses at
the same time vastly more unused water
power. According to the dominion statis-
tician, the spruce forests cover $50, 600. GOO
acres. or about 100000 square miles-rough-
ly eight times the area of Great Britain.
Year by year the exports of wood and of
wood pulp for the making of paper are
rising and now the Canadian protectionists
are putting forward the demand that they
should not export the pulp, but the paper;
not the raw material, but the manufac-
tured article, for the production of which
their immense water power gives them
enormous advantages. 1t seems not i'm
probable that ere long heavy export duty
will be levied on wood pulp, and that Can
ada will become n great exporter of paper.
She holds the energetic position, and can
also make her own terms. 1t is said that
nine times as much labor would be required
to manufacture paper is needed simply
to export the wood So far as the United
States is concerned, Canada is becoming
more and more the one available source of
supply, and for the New York newspapers
alone clearance of 10000 acres Of forest
is necessary every year.

From the New York Sun.
The reports from Washington indicate
that scorcherS of all varieties in that city
have decided to obey the highway speed law
since the adoption by the bicycle squad
of stop watches or speedometers. 1t is
claimed that these little Instruments which

a fraction of a second the time required by
a vehicle to cover a given distance. Know
ing this. the scorchers have reformed.
This method of discouraging speed law

They may get a recruit which will compel
