cokCCRC'S GREAT MEN,

Eighty-seven years ago II. d. Tho
feau was born. the most delightful
writer on nature produced by America.
perhaps by the world. He was one
OF tina; Concord community which
boasts lonly that it never did boast
or anything the names also of Emer-
son and of Hawthorne. and to which
only yesterday at the luncheon of tho
Society of the American Ladies in
London high tribute was paid.
Where. asked the speaker. can you
match that group of dwellers together?
Others have gone into the desert to
save their souls. others have gone out
from civilization because they could
not endure its restraints. But at Con-
cord were men who sought no immun-
ity from law. who loved peace ard
loved man and led the Simple Life
Talk of heaven-you are not good
enough for earth" exclaimed Thoreau
to the people who desecrated nature
And his words will yet inform the

JAPANESE lNvENTivENESS.

It has long been supposed that the
capacity for initiation is the charac-
tcristic of Western nations alone. Ac-
cording to some leading anthropolO-
gists. as one goes from West to East
he finds this capacity disappearing
and the capacity for imitation taking
Its place. The Chinese and japanese
are imitattrs. not inventors.
But the present war between the
Russians and the japanese is rapidly
proving the idea to be mere ass,lmp-
tiOn. 1t is the Eastern rather than
the Western people which. in this con
test. are exhibiting the capacity for
initiation and invention. Their STRAIT
egy is almost faultless. and it is their
own. Their artillery is astonishingly
destructive. and, in some of its most
deadly features. is the product Of
Japanese invention. Their naval tao
tics have been so unexpected and sue
cessful as to promise a revolution in
the future methods OF naval warfare.
When peace comes and the japanese
carry their genius into the industrial
world, they will demonstrate perhaps
in a more telling way that the capaci-
ty for initiation does not diminish as
one travels toward the rising sun

Mood ArtificiaIly Hardened.

After a prolonged series Of expert.
ments method of treating timber SO
as to secure even from soft wood a
largely increased toughness and hard.
ness has been found. The process
has been described as vulcanizing,
comparable in some respects to that
of the Bessemer process for convert
ing iron into steel, and is the inven-
ton of Mr.. Powell, a Liverpool mer-
chant
Roughly speaking the treatment to
which the timber is subjected is that
Of saturation at boiling point with a
solution of sugar. the water afterward
Ding evaporated at high temperature.
The result is to leave the pores and
interstices of the wood flllel in with
solid matter, and the timber vulcan
ized, preserved and seasoned
The nature of moderately soft wood,
it is claimed is in this way changed
to a tough and hard substance. with
out brittleness. and also without a
tendency to split or crack. 1t is also
rendered remarkably impervious to
water. Hard wood similarly treated
derives similar benefit. 1t is claimed
that the process may be completed and
the timber turned out ready for use
in a few days.

Street Sweeper.

There is no other city pavement
which seems to meet with the favor
OF asphalt. with its smooth surface
and lasting qualities, and in view OF
the growing use OF horseless carriages
it is probable that as the city pave
ment of the future it will stand alone.
At present some streets must he COW
cred with Belgian block or vitrified
brick to afford a foothOld for horses
drawing heavily loaded drays, but
when animal traction is a thing of the
past these streets can be resurfaced
with asphalt.
With the advent OF the smooth pave
ment seems to have come also an in
creased desire to keep the streets
clean, and 1t is customary to station
men at intervals along these pave
ments to keep free from dirt sections
OF pavement varying from one to three
squares. Originally the only imple-
mcnts with which the man worked
were the shovel and heavy broom, re
quiring two distinct operations to do
his work, in addition to wheeling
heavy cart about with him. Now, how
ever, the street cleaner can simply
push machine back and forth over
the section of pavement assigned to
bim, forgetting that he ever had to
Xandle the broom and shovel This
latest machine is entirely automatic

Left His Buddy" as Security.

Two weary countrymen entered a
Dawnbrokers establishment near the
Broad Street Station yesterday morn

very cheap looking trunk.
we want 81 said the spokes-
man of the pair. What's in the
trunk?" they were asked. Oh. moth
ing worth anything" was the reply.
But we are broke. and one of us
must get to Lancaster after money
and get back with it this afternoon
for sure. If the trunk is not worth

here until | get back, and You can
hold him as security" The pawn.
broker was so astonished at this
proposition that he brol e all the rules
OF his establishment and gave up the
sum demanded
One of the countrymen at once
made rapid break for the railroad
station. while the other, despite the
brokers' protest that it wasn't nec5s-
sary. sat phlegmatcally on the trunk
until seven hours had passed and his
friend came in triumphantly with =

WAYS OF THE SILENT JAP.

Whatever we may think OF the little
yellow man who holds the center of
the worlds stage just now, whether
we believe him to be right or wrong
in his quarrel. We are bound to ap-
plaud him for his stolid persistence
in holding his tongue. He is fighting
out his fight in his own way; he asks
advice from nobody. When he wins
a big victory he does not care whether
the world knows it or not. He has
been smiling and courteous to the cor
respondents. Half of them he has
corralled few miles from the front.
where they see or tell nothing; the
others are fcasted and complmentcd
and-shut up in Toxic. He is indii-
ferent to the fame which they alone
can give him. Nothing concerns him
but his work.-New York World.

HOW FATE TRICkED FINLAND

II Napoleon had had his way in the
year 1872 the aspirations of the Firms
to have their land incorporated with
Sweden would have been accomplish
ed, and there would now have been no
classification OF the country crushing
DOWN the national sentiment and of
course no murder OF the Russian gov
ernor. Sweden at that time held the
balance of power in Europe, and both
sides were bidding for her support.
Napoleon offered BernadOtte Finland
and the country between the Elbe and
the Weser for 40 900 Swedish soldiers.
The Car Alexander offered him Nor
way, and daZzled him with prospects
Of accession to the throne of France
itself. Bernadotte decided to throw
in his lot with the Allied Powers. and
this decision was the principal factor
IN Napoleon's ultimate ruin.-London

Waysice Inn for Geese.

Years before the war Daniel Scott,
the owner of "Scotland's" plantation.
in Albemarine County. Va. began the
custom of feeding f1ocks of wild geese
each Spring and Summer on their
semi-annual migrations. The custom
has continued to this day. being kept
up by the descendants of Mr. Scott
he had special garment which he
donned when feeding the hungry
birds, and in this they invariably
recognized him.
The children, grandchildren, and
great-grandchildren of the first geese
must have been well instructed in
regard to this 'wayside inn," for they
always tarry there to get provisions.

Martin is the present owner of Scot
lands"

A BAD COMBINATION.

The automobile. as it stands alone
and motionlcss in its shed. is a thing
Of glit'ering and innOcuOus beauty.
1t fills the eye with aesthetic contest.
and 1t couldn't hurt a child. The
naked fool, detached from his kind
and without weapon to express his
folly is not thing of beauty. but he.
is at least harmless. But the com
biEation of the two is deadly, like the
chemical unions that blow up labora-
tories and demonstrators together.
The fool always delighted in the un-
loaded gun and the unlabeled poison
bottle; but he never found a weapon
so completely to his taste and so terri
bic to the human race in his eXultins
hands as the automobile. The auto
mobile. in rational hands. is tool of
high utility and a means OF pure de.
light. In the hands of the fool il be-
comes the most perfect expression or
the total depravty OF inauimats
things; piece of cleaning and
painted mechanism instinct with ths.
vitality of iiend.-Minneapo Tfh
