April Pipe Line Report.

For the second time the present
year Pennsylvania stocks have In
creased, but the decrease In the
Buckeye stocks more than counter
balances this slight gain, and the
aggregate stocks are the smallest In
over ten years. While the runs of
Pennsylvania oil are slightly In
excess of those of March, there was
a large falling off In the shipments,
which were nearly 5000 barrels
below those of last month, and
2, 400 barrels day less than the
runs. On the other hand Buckeye
Pipe Line runs show small decline
from the March figures, while there
was a decided gain In the ship
ments. The runs decreased little
oyer 100 barrels a day, while the
shipments increased at the rate OF
2 200 barrels a day, and were the
heaviest since January. The Buck
eye Pipe Line stocks were decreased
$500 barrels a day In April. while
the Pennsylvania stocks were In
creased at the rate of 2,87o barrels
a day.

A PLEA FOR ROASTING.
Meat Cooked at Open Fireplace is
Best.

From the Lancet.
It is to be feared that many excellent
modes of cooking which prevailed in the
past are now abandoned simply to save
trouble. The modern cook, or the person
who calls herself such, although she may
be positively instructed to roast meat IN
the good old-fashioned way. in a screen In
front of the fire, commonly ignores her in
structions at every possible opportunity and
puts the joint in the oven. The introduction
of the Kitchener" or the closed range, and
of the gas cooker, probably accounts for
the preference which is given to baking,
while it does away with the necessity OF
basting and other little but important cui-
mary attentions which roasting involves.
There can be little doubt that by this ex-
change of method not few persons are
dietetic sufferers.
The preference for meat openly roasted
before the fire Is not mere sentiment, for
the flavor of meat SO cooked is infinitely
superior and the tissue is generally more
tender than when 1t is baked. Now, the
flavor and tenderness of meat have much to
do with it's d;gestibility, and consequently
with its real value as q food. Without rel
ish and appetite digestion is sluggish and
heavy. Indeed. 1t has been said that the
process of digestion commences before in
gestion, and certainly the digestive func-
lions are stimulated to healthy activity by
the sight of a tender and well-cooked
morsel as well as by an excellent flavor or
aroma. 1t has been shown that the mere
inspection of good, tempting foods start the
digestive machinery and Immediately ex-
cites the dow of the gastric juice. 1t is,
there must be difference of some dieteuc
importance produced in the organism when,
on one hand, a. baked, heavy-,ooking Joint
Is in contemplation, and when, on the other.

The Alaskan Commissioners.
London Spectator.

From the London Spectator.
The names of the American commission
ers under the new Alaskan treaty were pub
lished this week. They are Mrs Root, Sen
ator Lodge and Senator Turner. Mr. Root
is unquesdonably one of the ablest men
alive today in the Anglo-Saxon world of
politics AS Secretary of War and the
colonies he has had tasks Of extraordinary
difficulty to perform; but he has handled
every problem with the touch of a states
man. Senator Lodge is also a man of great
weight and influence, and he adds to his
wide political experience no little literary
ability. He Is worthy representative of
the best traditions Of the Senate-a DELHI
crate body which for the direct powers 1t
exercises has no fellow in the world. SEN
ator Turner is less well known, at any rate,
on this side Of the Atlantic; but we may be
sure that the Presidents choice has been
wisely exercised, for Mr.. Roosevelt does
not choose inferior men. 1t Is to be hoped
that our representatives will be not only
men Of equal intellectual powers. but also
of equal standing before the nation.

Automobile Speedway.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
There will be opposition to the automo-
bile. speedway, because it cannot be used
by horses. There was opposition to the
cycle paths. because they were not for
horses. One almost wonders If the first
sidewalks were not vehemently opposed, be-
cause they, too. were not for horses In
deed, you have only to go about the bust
ness streets. especially Of Manhattan. to
see the truckmen and coal men and de-
livery wagon drivers complacently back
ing their teams and vehicles against the
shop and house fronts, and still turning
the pedestrians into the road. There is
something about owning and driving a
horse that brings a crop of callous places
to the surface of some mems minds. 1t
will be remembered that only a few years
ago the drivers succeeded in keeping BIZ
cycles or the public streets and out of the
public parks, and that men were arrested
for riding around Union Square 1t is also
remembered that when the Speedway was
built beside the Harlem, 1t was with the
understanding that 1t could be used by
none except horse owners, and that lone
some stretch is still empty on six days
week, and most of the seventh.

The Star Of Bethlehem.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
A fresh attempt has been made to explain
the impressive astronomical phenomenon
which, according to the Scriptures. accom-
panied the birth Of the founder Of the Chris
tan relision Inasmuch as 1t was OF short
duration and exceptional brilliancy, 1t has
often been suggested that itwas temporary
star, like that which blazed out suddenly
in the constellation OF Perseus over two
years ago. Indeed, belief for which there
never was any substantial foundation was
once entertained that the Star of Bethlehem
may have been identified with the star
which Tycho observed in 1872 To accept
this latter theory 1t was necessary to as
sumo that the object in question was In the
habit Of reappearing regularly at intervals
of about three hundred and fourteen years.
A few credulous people actually looked for
its temperance in 1886, although no repu-
table astronomer encouraged the expecta-
ton. 1t did not come, and nobody now
takes any stock in the idea OF identity with
Tycho's star.
The latest suggestion offered by Davies
Forbes, an Englishman, Is that the Star OF
Bethlehem was not only comet, but was
the same one which bears Halley's name
astronomers, because 1t is the first whose re-
turn was ever predicted After Its visit to
the vicinity of the sun from outer space in
1852, HALEY found records Of the paths fol-
lowed by similar bodies in 1907 and 1881
These confonned so closely to the orbit just
computed that he felt justified in declaring
that the dates represented three separate
appearances of one comet, and that a
fourth might be confidently expected in
1885. Though HALEY did not live to see it,
the comet came back exactly on time, and
appeared in precisely the right place. II
nothing happens to it, therefore, it ought
to be observed once more In 1911. or eight
years hence. Mr.. Forbes tries also to identify
I5alley's comet. with one mentioned by
Jbsephus Ias appearing at the time of the
destruction of Jerusalem, 70 A. D.. and an
other which he says signalized Pompey's
defeat Of Mithridates nearly one hundred
and fifty years before.

PHILIPPINE PROGRESS.
Affairs in the Islands Considered by a
Hong Kong Paper.

From the Hong Kong Press.
The constant example Of American meth
DDS Of municipal provincial and general ad-
ministration will tend to produce from
among the natives acting at the moment
in a subordinate capacity an intelligent and
highly trained body OF administrators ready
for preferment as opportunities for such
arrive. This evolution will. of course, take
some time to accomplish nation, like
Rome Of old, cannot be born in a day. Ma
tons differ from poets in nothing more than
in this-they are made. not born. The pol
Icy best adapted to give fruition to these
desires Is being followed by GOV. Iait ana
the Philippine commission. More and more
responsibility is being laid upon the shoul-
ders of Filipinos, just as they prove them
selves capable Of bearing the weight. But,
while this policy is and should continue TO
be popular among all minded folk. 1ar-
seeing as 1t is, 1t cannot hope to meet with
universal support. It does not. 1t Is in
tensely disliked and bitterly opposed by
the military authorities and their party ad-
herents, who are lacking neither in numeri-
cal strength nor in the power of making
their voice heard.
Still undisturbed by this turbulent sea OF
antagonism. Gov. Taft pursues his plan OF
Cancellation without the abatement Of one
of it's details. And 1t is pleasant to note
the eagerness with which the Ftlipinos are
taking to the new order Of things|earning
English and accustoming themselves to the
various phases of American life. Passing

of Filipinos young and adult, were Issuing

most polite acts of the Philippine commits
sion was the setting aside of December 80
as an insular holiday-Rizal day-in COM
memoration Of the assassination by the
Spaniards Of DR.. Rial, the Filipino patriot.
This, following a long series of useful con-
cessions, has delighted the Filipinos, fatter-
ed their national pride and endeared to
them the commission and Its popular CHIEF.
