In Japan the well-to-do have almost always in their houses one room called the 'chamber of the inspiring view" Its essential is a beautiful view, but taste is catholic in Japan, and the de- lightful view may be blossoming cher ry tree, a glimpse of a river, minia- ture garden or only the newly fallen snow. Tn this delightful country they get up parties to visit the maple trees in the glory of autumn color, or the fresh, untrodden snow, as in this coun- try one gives theater parties and din- ners.

AN ENHANCEMENT OF ENGINES

AN ENHANCEMENT OF ENGINES.
 Two heavy compound switch
 engines of the heaviest type in use came together at the entrance of the union station yards at ten o'clock yesterday, locked in a collision on a switch. Engine 760, in charge of En- gineer Emerson, came down the grade under the Sixth Street bridge, hauling a heavy train of cattle cars. Engine 75, in charge of Engineer Holman, was standing on the switch and made an effort to back into clear. The airbrakes on the cattle train refused to work, and before the switch engine could move out of the way the big freight locomo- tive struck 1t glancing blow on the side, locked with it, and carried it for ward for about twice it's length. Both locomotives left the rails, and the tracks were torn up, ties and all, for some distance. The engine crews es- capped without injury, and the two To-

THE PROsPERfNG s0UTH

The new South continues to prosper. The Railway World finds the industrial growth of the South very remarkable. It was unprecedented in the year ended June 30, 1902, but in the twelve months following it was much greater. On the Southern railway lines the cap ital invested in traffic-producing indus tries during the year ended June 30, 1903, was greater by IT per cent. than in the previous year. The character of the new enterprises was changed. Tn 1902 purchases of premises and erection of factory buildings constituted the chief investments, but in 1903 the in- vestments were predominantly in equip ment designed to increase output. Mines, mills and factories were enlarg- ed and improved, with the result of an increased product and increased traffic of the railroads. During this last year, says the World, the increased invest ment in coal mines, iron mines, lumber mills, woodworking plants and other closely related interests which are the producers of the largest tonnage was even more marked than in other classes of industrial enterprises. President Spencer, of the Southern railway, is quoted as expecting a congestion of traffic in the South consequent upon the increased requirements of industrial enterprises. "This congestion" it is added, "is more or less general through out the country; but in the South, where the industrial awakening has been relatively the greatest in short space of time, the situation has been | more difficult to forecast and to reason ably provide for than in other sections where industrial changes have been more gradual"
 More growth and more power to the South. Also fewer lynchings.

The citizens of the town of Sweet, Canyon county, Idaho, have adopted al novel method of obtaining water SUD- ply for domestic and irrigation pur- poses. The water is dug out of the hill- side, with wells run like tunnels, and not down into the earth, as ordinary wells are dug. Just back of, or rather, on the east side of the town there is a bluff and high land above. Out of the bluff clear, sparkling mountain water can be procured almost anywhere by merely running tunnel in from twenty to forty feet. At one point in town a stream sufficient to irrigate fine or- chard and garden, besides an ample supply for domestic use, and for water ing all the teams that pass that way, comes pouring out of the forty-foot tunnel. Neither the spring freshets nor the summer drouths affect it's flow. In summer time it's waters are cool and refreshing; in winter, warm, and no teeth chattering is the result of a sip from this sparkling rivulet.

The members of the Central Labor Union in Philadelphia discussed for two hours the question whether a union man may do the work of bartender and waiter at an entertainment given by his own organization. For nearly two hours the delegates debated the matter. Union men have a perfect right to do gratuitous work of that sort where there is no bay" said the presi- dent. We can do the work of other crafts in our home without violating any laws of trades unionism. If I choose to do so, can hang paper in my own home or do airy other work. Is a man scab simply because he allows his wife to mend a tear in his trousers instead of taking them to union tail- or?' The delegates warmly contested the opinion of the president, and when vote was taken it was decided to fine all organizations which do not employ regular union men for all work.

The British War Office has decided to exercise a more jealous care regard ing the sale of Victoria crosses. In fu- ture any holder who sells the cross or loses it and cannot give satisfactory explanation of his loss will be liable to be deprived of the annuity-which is not less than $50-which accompanies it. The intrinsic value of the cross is about three cents, while as Sale Prices points out, the market value is any, thing between $2OO and $500. In conse- quence of the War Office action, how ever, living wearers of the decoration will be decidedly chary of placing the bit of bronze on the mart.

areas, now given up to parks and
hunting preserves, and in many in
stances wide stretches of pasture
land, which have been too sparsely
stocked with cattle, will be turned in
to productive farms and homes for the
people.
The landlords, it appears, in most
instances, are ready to submit to this
scheme. Under existing land laws,
where rents may now be determined
in the courts, the exorbitant rents
heretofore exacted cannot always be
secured and land holding is losing its
attractions.
1t is less fascinating, also. for an
other reason. In 1896 parliament gave
the people of Ireland the right to elect
their own county councils. Heretofore
the landlords held the local Offices
without dispute, but under the act of
SO the honors passed in many cases
from the lord. by the suffrage of the
people, to the former tenant. Ousted
from local places of dignity and hon.
or, and subjected to the official juris-
diction of his social interiors. the land
lord finds residence and land holding
in Ireland less attractive than hereto
fore.
Where the unwillingness of the
landlord to sell his lands to the people
creates a condition unfavorable to pub
lie order and the general welfare it is
proposed that the state publicity, buy
it from him and sell it again to pur-
chasers from among the people. This is
radical, but in the public interest, and
conditions in Ireland call for radical
changes which may not always be ac-
complished without resort to radical
means.

Fuel Values.

At the wells crude oil can be had,
say, for about 2 cents a gallon. At dis
tant points it comes from cents
gallon up. If you can buy it at cents
this is equivalent to paying about
$50 a ton for first class soft COAL 1t
is on the average harder to secure
combustion of Oil than of coal, and in
practice there is apt to be more waste
of the liquid than of the solid fuel.
The navy department experiments
have shown that coal at eastern prices
is more economical that oil would be
even at cents gallon. Where coal
is costly, however, and oil is cheap,
the latter may be the less costly fuel
Oil stoves, burning refined oil are
costly in operation, in proportion to
the amount of heat, though they are
economical where not much heat is
required. A pound of coal is generally
called the equivalent of two to two
and half pounds of dry wood for
heating purposes. But cord of hick-
ory wood weighs nearly 1880 pounds,
while cord of white pine weighs
only 1900, maple 1900 and oak $500.
All dry wood has the same fuel value
to the pound, but hickory is worth
more than twice as much as pine. A
ton of coal is worth in heating value
about two and a half times as much
as cord of white pine or one-third
times as much as oak.

LAND QUESTION IN IRELAND.
Congested Districts to be Trimmed Out
as Solution.

Walter Wellman of the Chicago
Record-Herald is assured by Sir
Anthony MacDonnell, the new under
secretary for Ireland, that the whole
land question will be settled soon, on
terms not only satisfactory to the
Irish people and to the landlords, but
in manner which will greatly
strengthens the British empire. In
brief the plan is the wholesale turn
ing over of the soil of Ireland to the
people of Ireland. twenty-five years
ago a settlement might possibly have
been made on the lines followed in
India, where the land rents were fixed
upon the basis of the price of produce
in the actual market This plan has
worked well in India. but it is too late
to adopt that method in Ireland It
will not satisfy the aspirations of the
people for actual ownership of the soil.
So another plan must be devised, a
plan which involves the actual re-
moval of landlordism. There will be
no confiscation of property, no COM
pulsory sale except under conditions
which may make it necessary for the
good of the state
The vital point, of course, is the
price. Naturally the landlords desire
to secure as high prices as they can,
while the tenants are equally anxious
to buy as cheaply as possible. Be
tween these two stands the govern
ment, which is deeply concerned in
devising practical plan and one
which will involve as little cost as pos
sible to the imperial treasury. Prob
ably a new valuation of the land will
be made.
1t is estimated that this project will
cost the imperial government at the
least e15O,O00,0OO sterling, this is
$3.50 900, 000-a large sum of money,
but not too much to buy peace and
order and prosperity in Ireland.
In many instances the price will
probably equal the rent covering
period of fifteen to twenty or twenty
five years. Where the purchaser and
the landlord cannot agree the govern
ment must aid in reaching a settle
ment. 1t may buy out entire estates
and then sell back to the landlord his
homesteads and castles, preserving
much of the outlying land for the peo-
pie.
The scheme contemplates the thin
ming out of congested districts where
families are crowded together on
small tracts of land incapable of CIV
ing decent support to the number of
people dwelling thereon. The sale
of the estates will bring into use

1.-THE LATE NIAGARA FALLS"
Timely Comment by a Newspaper of
Toronto

The Toronto Globe sings an eloquent
lament over the passing of Niagara falls
as another instance of the resistless
march of civilization, denuding forests,
Strengthening wild animals and birds.
Strengthening out streams, leveling
hills and filling up valleys, and oblit-
Grating the beauty and degrading the
grandeur of natures handiwork. 1t
foresees the time nigh at hand when
the cataract of Niagara will be chas-
ing its tail in a turbine wheel like a
Gagged squirrel" and declares that ''if
the destruction of the cataract can
MAKE town grow up that grew up
somewhere else before or would other
wise have grown up somewhere else,
the achievement will be hailed as sue
cess"
The only compensation our Canadian
contemporary sees is the possibility
that provision may be made for GER
tain Niagara days in all future conces-
Sions. 1t says: 1T would be splen-
did thing to be able to announce that
the Niagara falls would be turned on
from s a. m. till 1880 p. m. on a GER
tain date, when excursionists would
have an opportunity of seeing the
great wonder of nature in its original
condition"

Danger of Bromide of Potash.

Bromide of potash powders are fire.
quently used in cases of sleeplessness.
This drugs action is to depress the
heart, making it weak, so that the
pulse becomes slower and feebler If
given promiscuously and without due
regard to the health of the patient
bromide of potash may act as slow
poison. Under no circumstances
should it be given or taken without
first consulting doctor. There are
many other remedies for sleeplessness
which one sees mentioned in the cor
respondence columns of some of the
weekly magazines. None of them are
safe. Sleeplessness is too serious a
condition to be treated by the domes-
tic physician, and the sooner reliable
advice is obtained the better. One
might go on indefinitely warning
against drugs which you may be TAX
ing constantly in utter ignorance of
the risks you thereby incur.

through the Globes satire. 1t is
likely that the Niagara falls has seen
its best day from the natural point OF
view and that hereafter it's mission
may be to supply power and make
money for corporations. That seems
to be the fate of all of natures handi-
work which is not under government
control, and even that part of it is
only saved from vandalism by con-
slant vigilance. But how is it to be
prevented? Progress is the law of the
world and progress involves destruc-
ton on the one hand or radical
changes on the other, so that we may
have fuel and light, material for build.
Ing, power for running street cars

Gus other useful purposes. Human
necessities increase with the march
OF civilization and what were luxuries
century ago are necessities now. We
apparently have reached that point
where nature must be called upon to
do her part. 1t would be better in
some respects if we could let nature
alone. The world would be more
beautiful and often healthier than it is
now. But, still, the question comes
back, what can be done about it? The
most that our Canadian contemporary
can do is sternly to demand that con.
cessionnaries' hands shall be kept of
the Horseshoe fall and that only the
American shall chase its tail in a tur.

WILL 1T BE IMPERIALISM.

It is believed by some of the infuen-
tial politicians that Mr. Cleveland has
concluded to allow his name to again
come up for nomination as a pres1-
Dental candidate. The unwritten law
in this matter has always been that a
second term of office marked the end
of presidential office. If Mr.. Cleye-
land consents to be nominated after
having served two terms, he will be
breaking away from established GUS
tom; and should he be for third time
elected, the event will mark another
advance towards imperialism and a
centralized government. This is GER
tainly the trend of our national life;
whether it be for veal or woe, is an
other thing. Some of those who are
we'll qualified to Judge in such matters,
long ago predicted that the ultimate
end of republic government was a
mild form of monarchy. What sad
