of ordnance, relative to the construction
Of the law providing for the exchange Of
arms Of the militia for modern guns of the
army. There was an apparent conflict be-

holds that the exchange can be made and
that the appropriation OF 100000 is avail
able for supplying arms as for other mill

fact of history; we owe the possession of
the vast tract acquired as the Louisiana

About a century < an artist named
Cranch was standing one day In front
Of a fire in his home at Administer.
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece. Inc It occurred to Cranch that
this expanse Of wood might be I'M
proved by a little ornamentation. He
picked up the poker. heated 1t red hot
and began to sketch In a bold design.
The result pleased him so much that
he elaborated his work and began to at
tempt other fire pictures on panels OF
wood. These met with a ready sale.
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning Of
what is now known as typography.
The poker artist OF today uses many
different shaped tools and has a special
furnace in which they are kept heated,
The art has been elaborated greatly.
The knots, curls and hbers of the wood
are often worked into the design and

The New York cha m Der of corn.
MERGE has been discussing the
question; "Are our existing i'm
migration laws an effective sieve
for the sitting Of our enormous
immigration?" This discussion
has been brought about by reason
of the great influx of immigrants
OF all degrees from European
countries. Commissioner SARGENT
reports that of the immigrants ad.
mitted during the past year nearly
$4,000 could neither read nor
write. Yet under our existing
laws less than 5000 of the total
S57 ,O46 were found liable to rejec-
ton In view of these facts, and
Of the further fact that the great
mass OF these immigrants from
Eastern Europe continue t. settle.
not on the thinly populated farm
lands Of the west, but in and
around the great cities of our east
ern and central states, the ques-
ton which the New York chamber
Df commerce has been recently
discussing is certainly one OF
prime public concern and one
which should be carefully consid-
cred.
