The fact that the Pope bore his second

for the prolongaEon Of his nife. After the
bulletin had been issued the crowds about
the entrance of the Vatican dispersed
The authorities OF the Vatican have

expect a quiet day and the general feeling
is that while the case is hopeless the Pope
may live several days or even week

About Board of Water
Commissioners
MATTER OF WATER RIGHTS
Says William Bancroft Valued the

The new water system about to be con-
structcd in this city and the future ac-
tions of the Water Commission with re-
gard to making appointments, now that
the board is Democratic, are matters
which occupy the public mind at this
time.
Many are wondering what the commits
sion will do, now that Peter j. Ford has
assumed his place in the board Some Of
the working Democrats think that "a
change in the force of the department
should be made at once, but the more cx.
perieneed say "bide your timc.n
There are several desirable positions
at the disposal of the board and candi-
dates are already looming up and filing
their claims
Since the organization of the new
board, various matters pertaining to the
old commission have cropped out, chief
among which was the proposition believ-
ed TO have been made some time ago for
the purchase of the William Lea g. Sons
Companys water rights in the Brandy
wine. Nothing much was learned at the
time in reference to the matter, but since
then various rumors have been circu-
lated
MI Ford interviewed.
A reporter of the Evening journal saw
Mr.. Ford, the new member of the board,
this morning, and interviewed him.

now Democratic, it is the GENIAL inn

in the department will be supplanted by
Democrats. viii this eventually hap

The Old and the New.

Paper Read Before the Chauta,qua Circle.
It is often difficult to surrender
ones preconceived notions of men
and events. From habit of mind
one is wont to cling tenaciously to
cherished theories and opinions.
Yet he whose reason is open to
conviction can at best view the
world, and especially past gener-
atoms, from a narrow and illiberal
standpoint, the images of human
experience being distorted, be-
cause seen through the refracting
medium of his own consciousness.
Nothing can be more unphilosoph-
ical than the isolated judgment of
affairs. eff any one can convince
me of an error" says Marcus

Strange graft.

A traveller says: sThe strangest
craft I have ever seen we're the
balsas of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia
and Peru. These balsas are made
of an aquatic plant growing in the
waters of the lake. The principle
on which they are constructed by
the Aymaras Indians proves their
ingenuity. A bale of hay natur-
ally floats in the water, and &C
cording to the quantity of dried
grass used in constructing the
boat do they control the displace-
ment or carrying capacity. These
boats are likewise fitted with
mast and sail, and in some in
stances carry from eight to ten
persons. The Indians travel long
distances over this vast inland
lake, the surface of which is on
level with the summit of the
Jungfrau of the Swiss Alps

exactly like that Of Franklin.
They may not have known SO
much about the mysterious cur
rents of electricity in the air, but

Now let us take the subject of
steel. We are today manufactur-
ing all kinds of steel, but we can
show nothing which can be COM
pared with the celebrated steel of
Damascus. Altho I have been
unable to fix the date when the
process of making the world-re-
nowned Damascus blades was
first discovered, I am not entirely
ignorant of their merits. I have
seen one in Berlin some years
ago, the point of which could be
made to touch the hilt and bent
every way without breaking. The
poets have celebrated the perfec-
ton of this oriental steel and it is
recognized as the best and finest
all over the world. The best steel
is the greatest triumph of met
allurgy, and metallurgy is the
greatest glory Of chemistry.
The Bible in it's first chapters
shows that man first conquered
metals in Asia; and today they
can do more wonders with metals
in Asia than we can, either in Eu-
rope or America.
Taking their employment of the
mechanical forces, and their move
ment Of large and heavy masses
from the earth, we know that the
Egyptians had, or were familiar
with, five or six mechanical powers;
but we cannot account for the
multiplication and increase neces-
sary to perform the wonders they
accomplished. With all our mod
ern machinery it would not be so
much of feat to raise up a 20O0|
lb. dome and set it on the top Of
monument or pillar 100 feet high,
but without this machinery we
would think it almost impossible.
Yet the Egyptians who had no
steam hosting machine at their
command accomplished this. In
producing these arguments I
have endeavored to open the
claims of old times and tried to
show that we are indebted to them
for good many inventions which
we thought belonged, at least par
TALLY, to ourselves. It may help
us to look upon the accomplish
ments Of past generations in a
different light and give credit to
whom credit is due. It may not
keep us from boasting, but may
cause us to stop and see if we are
boasting in the right direction.

Laws That "Will Not March"

why were not their voices heard in
protest year ago or last summer
when wise men foresaw this calam-
ityY The president did what he
could to prevent it and the attor-
ney general has his hands tied
with measure that cannot march.
Radical changes are going to be
made in the economical conditions
of the country within the next
decade. All signs point to this.
The leading political parties are
drifting into unexplored paths and
giving sanction to measures rev.
dictionary in their character. The
old platforms have become obso-
lete and measures that we're Landed
a decade ago as the desiderata
in statecraft have proved to be in
adequate to reac- the ends for
which they were designed.
Carlyle said many quaint things
about the French Revolutionary
Constitution that would not
march" He shows how men
strove with all the strength they
possessed to give some relief to
the clamoring people; but try as
they might their efforts bore the
usual fruit of incompetency and
ended in failure. The question
arises, are our statesmen incom-
petent or is the trust question too
great an issue to be mastered by
legislators? Must it be referred to
the people for settlement and the
constitution Of the republic so
amended that it can march? Sen
ator Hoar recently introduced a
bill to curb monopoly. The press
has ridiculed this effort of his
until the people have come to
believe that the senator's measure
is unstable. At least let us give
the senator credit for doing some
thing besides waving a pitchfork.
President Roosevelt in his mes
sage to congress asked that body
to take some action upon the
trust question, and the answer is
rebate for one year on the duty on
coal, an unstable measure by
Senator ,Hoar, and also several
minor efforts aimed at, but not
meant to strike, the trusts. This
is the sum total Of the means
given Attorney General Knox with
which to curb monopoly. You
may as we'll expect me to STAY an
elephant with squirt gun. Rad
icals tell us that the Sherman Law
can be made to march. If so, why
do not they give the command?
Hearst made an effort in that
direction, but the desired end was
not reached. 1t is not fair play to
abuse the president and the at
torney general for not taking more
radical action in the trust ques-
ton. The president can not lead
any effort in that direction; he
can only recommend means to
that end. The attorney general
has his hands tied with the Sher-
man Law, a law that will mot and
cannot march.

change my opinion. for truth is
my business, and nobody was ever
yet hurt by it." Many of our
latter day artists and inventors
may profit by this simple state
ment of a "heathen" philosopher.
One of the most Objectionable
features is self-concsit, AN undue
appreciation of ourselves; an ex-
aggerated estimate of our achieve
ments, inventions and contribu-
tons to popular comfort, and of
our place in the great procession
of the ages. We seem to imagine
that whether knowledge will die
with us or not, it certainly began
with us. We have a plying estj-
mate, or tender pity, for the mar
rowness, ignorance and darkness
of bygone ages. We seem to our
selves not only to monopolize but
to have begun the era of light.
But tho it is an easy thing to crit
icise, one may not find it so easy
to furnish substantial proof to
back up criticism. Therefore, in
order to obtain this most neces-
sary of all factors, we will have to
take our eyes from the present
civilization for a moment, and
guide them back to the earliest
possible era that history describes
for us.
We will take for our first ex-
ample one of the most useful and
indispensable articles I'm
doubtedly we all have often heard
the statement-and indeed some
historians tell us as much-that
in ancient times they had nothing
which in any way resembled glass.
On the site of Pompeii, which was
covered with ashes by a volcanic
eruption more than eighteen hun
dred years ago, they discovered a
whole glass factory, with all the
different kinds of glass, such as
ground glass, window glass, cut
glass and colored glass Of every
variety. Another instance dates
back to the age of Tiberius, the
time Of st. Paul. Here we find a.
| noble Roman who had been ban
ished and who afterwards re-
turned to Rome, bringing with
him wonderful glass cup. This
cup could be bent in all shapes
without breaking This clearly
shows that these people not only
knew how to make glass, but had
even gone step further in their
chemical preparations than we
have in the present century; for
with all our skill in chemistry we
have not been able so far to pro-
duce malleabIe glass. The Romans
of that age got their ideas on
chemistry from the Arabians, and
it was brought into Spain some
eight centuries ago.
The secret of this maleable glass
is probably one Of the lost arts
and may never be recovered again.
Now let US take the subject of
the magnifying glass, opera glass
and microscope. Cicero is cred
tied with the statement that he
had seen the entire Illiad, poem
nearly as large as the New Tesla
ment, written on skin so small that
it could be rolled up into the COM
pass of nutshell. As this could
not have been done by hand or
with the naked eye, the makers
must certainly have had some pro-
cess similar to the photo-engrav-
ing of today. Pliny tells us that
Nero had a ring with glass
setting through which he used to
watch the gladiators in the arena,
and which enabled him to see
everything more distinctly than
with the human eve. So Nero
