the Tramways line seemed painfully
out of date. Soon a modern rival en-

itself out in trying to keep pace. 1t is
now among the junk assets of the

be a memory.

NEGLECTED. OPPORTUNITIES.

Just one nundred years ago AiuiHi'
a nephew of Calvin, the famous in
vestigator of electrical phenomenal
vestigator of electrical phenomena
wire near Calais, France. Such an
event had been predicted by Spanish
scientist who tried in vain to interest
his government in a cable between the
mainland and Majorcai but Aldini was
the first man to PROVE the Spaniard's
theory. Nothing of commercial import
followed the Calais test. The time was
one of political disturbance and Napo-
leon, the master of France and the ar
bitter of Europe, seems to have had no
appreciation of what value the work of
the humble scientists might yield to his
plans of military conquest.
There were three ways of sending
swift messages in. Napoleon's time-by
semaphore, a clumsy device of moving
wooden arms placed on a high pole;
by flag signals and by carrier pigeons.
The first two We're subject to the
caprice of weather; the final one to the
caprice Of birds. In military campaigns
mounted messengers were usually en-
ployed. But If Napoleon had possessed
himself of Admits secret and developed
il into a submarine line between France
and the countries of allied powers and
into a system of field telegraph, he

his power of concentrating land and
naval forces where they would have
done him the most good. If his ally of
Denmark could have wired him of the
British menace, the catastrophe of
Copenhagen might have been averted;
and II he could have telegraphed to
Grouchy at critical period of the Hun
bred Days campaign, wellington might
have been driven back to Brussels. But
Napoleon with all his genius looked up
on the inventor as an idle dreamer, and
he paid for it in the end.
The most conspicuous instance of this
weakness showed itself when he let
Robert Fulton go back TO America with
the steamboat in his brain. Fulton did
his best to interest the French ruler
in steam navigation but he was treated
about as a man would be today who
interrupted England's scheme OF naval
increase with proposition for airships.
1t was within the power of Aldini and
Fulton to arm Napoleon with the power
which all his soldiership could not give
him, to combat the English; but the
Emperor was deaf TO both. The steam
boat would have made the Boulogne
invasion possible; it would have lifted
the British blockade; IT would have
raised prodigious alarm on the route
to India and brought to Napoleon's
terms all the dissenting rulers of con-
tinental Europe. But the Emperor,
great as he was, was not great enough
to see his advantages; and the electric
telegraph and steamboat. though pos
sibe In 1903, conferred no benefits upon
him or upon France.

Rush Free Coal.

-. The superstitious sacredness in which
the bourbonistic high protectionists hold
the tariff is unpleasantly demonstrated
by their reluctance to touch even the
tariff on coal, though people are now
dying for lack of coal and Inconvenience
and extreme suffering are widespread,
There Is absolutely no excuse of any kind
for the existence of a tariff on coal, and
the repeal of the monstrous tax ought to
go through congress like a whirlwind.
Instead of such prompt action, suited
to the emergency, We are getting some
talk about a rebate Of tl.. coal duties
for a period of ninety days coupled to a
provision for free reciprocal trade in coal
with any country that will grant the same
privilege to the United States
This is miserable little device quite
unworthy of the times. It's effect, OF
course, will be to give us free COAL since
Canada always stands ready to remove
I the coal duty when we remove ours, ano
England imposes none on our coal. But
this Is no time to lose time trying tc
avoid an opening in the Chinese wall o.

possible. We went free coal before thu
