UNtONiSTS ARE LEARNING.

The important and surface observers
Of trade union effort and our movement
often say, why don't the unions do
this or that thing, and why don't they
profit by the lessons Of the past?'
AS matter Of fact, trade unions are
further advanced in the science Of gov
eminent, and trade unionists are better
qualified for self government than any
other organization or any other body
OF citizens. Nations and the mass of
citizens never learn anything in leaps
and bounds. The upward and onward
march Of the masses Is slow and evolu-
tionary. The masses learn by expert
ence in all walks Of life and in all ma -
tons.
The members of trade unions have
made greater mental and physical pro-
gress by virtue of our association with
our fellow-men in our unions than the
unorganized mass has on the other
hand. To organize and keep our unions
aA1Vc anu illdhc lllelH GO what we GX-
pect of them requires thought and
study, both of which leads to greater
intelligence.
One trouble is that the unthinkinp
public exacts greater standard Of in
telligence and morality from the unions
and unionists than they do from any
other organization regardless of what
1t may be. While trade unionists are
human beings drawn from the great
body of humanity we are by associa-
ton and the effort to maintain o,r
unions compelled to think and study.

reported on to the effect that there Is
q saving of not less than per cent when

using the stoker the coal Is much more
evenly distributed. and the furnace door
remaining closed all the time, the smoke
Is Of far lighter color, indicat ting a
much more thorough consumption Of
gases. The darkest shade Of smoke Is
brown, while most Of the emission from
the stack shows pure steam. Those of
the stoker enables the steam pressure to
be kept absolutely constant. This Is due
to the regularity to which the coal Is
placed on the CRATES, the evenness with
which it is distributed, and also the fact
that the furnace door is not open, and
hence the furnace is not cooled by the
thrush of air. With the coal conveyor IN

FEDERATioNisr AND PEABODY.

The Federationist, the official organ
of the American Federation of Labor
| does not take kindly to the attempt Of
the socialists Of that state in their pro-
LESSONS of attempting to defeat Pea
body. The comment Of the official lab
or journal Is as follows:
The Republican party of Colorado
has nominated Governor Peabody for
re- election for another term, the de-
spica BILE Peabody who violated all law
and trampled under foot every guar
antee Of constitutional and human
rights. All thinking and unselfish men
ii. Colorado agree that Peabody ought
to be defeated Overwhelmingly. Some
wise" men are said to have declared
that they would vote the ticket of the
Socialist party and urge upon the men,
oers of the Western Federation of Min
ers to do likewise In other. words
they propose to defeat Governor Pea
body for re-election; they are about to
wreak vengeance upon him for the out
RACES he has committed against the
miners and against all the people of
Colorado, by voting "in the air" In
truth, such course If pursued will
practically result in Peabody's re-elec-
ton, which would no doubt be accepted
to be an endorsement Of his every ac-
ton.
Fortunately, 1t is generally regarded
that the people of Colorado will take
the most practica bic means to rebuke
Peabody's brutality and encompass his
defeat by voting for his most formid-
able opponent.
In the effort to defeat Peabody the
service would not necessarily be linn
tied to that Of the miners, but would
be a reaffirma ton Of the cardinal prin-
ciples Of free government, justice and
right.

PROVINClALlSM.

Said the latter:
I'VE visited Missouri. It's a fine
state, and I like the people. There's
only one fault in the inha bitants, and
that is they are too provincial
At this the Missouri man became an.
cry.
Let me tell you one thing he
shouted. "Missourians may be pro-
vfncial in some things, but in one a,
least they're far less provincial than
are the people of New York"
"Indeed?' queried the New Yorker
provokingly. And in what respect
pray?"
In this respect. sir" responded the
Missouria man. "No one in New York
knows much about Missouri; but every
one in Missouri knows all about New
York"

! 1 !.s.5. h . LID 8 INVENTION

GuStdVO .hODDe IN HarperS weekly:
f." Mrs.| ]. Mitchell Clark Gof New Z ork
the Louisiana Purchase exposition in
st. Louis. 80 -
/ It Is In the musical section, is her
own invention, and, according to auto
graph letters which. she has from Felix
Wetngartner, Richard Strauss, Reisen-
auer, Gabrilowitsch and others, who
have tested, the invention practically,
1t is destined to work a revolution in
an important branch of musical art.
When Mrs. Clark attended the last
concert which Paderewski gave in this
OF Carnegie Hall. It did not seem to
her that the sound OF the piano reach
ed her with. the richness or the equal
ization Of tone that would be expected
with so great a virtuoso as Pader-
ewski was playing.
She thought the matter over, and
finally concluded that the fault lay
with the fiat lid, which served simply
as guard against dust, but which
she believed might be made into a
wonderfully effective sounding board.
AS soon as she reached this conclusion,
she went to work and solved her prob
lem scientifically, proceeding from the
basis that the roof of the mouth, the
greatest OF all sounding boards, is cur
we'd, and that all musical instruments,
except the piano, have curved sounding
boards.
The result Of her calculatio and
the apparatus based upon them are to
be seen in the musical section of the
exposition. where she has two pianos,
grand and an upright. which have
a aura the attention Of many must
clans. A glance shows that the lids
Of these pianos are unlike those at
tached to any others. Instead of be-
ing hat. they are curved and shell-Iike
In appearance. These lids are far more
graceful to the eye than the old flat
style, especially the interior, which
is constructed of strips of spruce run
ming lengthwise in the grain and radl-
ating In parabolic curves. Not only
has the wood soft. satinlike ap-
pearance, but the parabolic surface re-
suits In a remarkable resonance. It
distributes the sound evenly in all d.
rectlons' person seated at dis
lance from the piano and at a point
which ordinarily would be out of the
direct line of sound, receives the same
volume and quality Of tone as if near
by and right in front Of the instru-
ment.
The tone-refector, as Mrs, Clark
calls the curved lid which she has in
senteu results IN thoroughly equal
lied distribution of sound in all d.
rectlons and to great distance. Rich
ard Strauss was amazed, particularly
with the result Of the curved lid on
the upright piano. which he declared
gained a volume of tone equal to that
of a grand.
Mrs. Clark comes naturally by her
inventive turn. She was. Miss Sarah
Wood. whose grandfather, Jethro
Wood, invented the castiron plough.
and was decorated by the car and
presented with an historic diamond
valued at $4,000. Commissioner >llen
has written that in the United States
patent office Wood is ranked with Full
ton and Morse as one Of the great
inventors. Mrs. Clark's father. the
late Albert H. Wood, was not only a
musician, but also an inventor. several
OF his inventions hasving contributed
to make the modern piano what It is.

Behring and Kitasato, Of Berlin, pub

the germs OF these diseases. In 1891,

FIGHTING CONSUMPTION.

The American Federation of Labor
is again showing it's spirit of progress
veness. Realizing that thousands Of
vorkingmen in the larger cities are
suffering from tuberculosis. caused
largely by the unsanitary condition in
workshops and factories, it has joined
he movement for the determination of
this dread disease from the human
family.
Every labor organization in America
should join with the Federation in this
worthy movement. All ought to press
home upon state and municipal au-
thorities this grave question and it's
prevention. We should endeavor, by
I'll means within our power, to compel
he enforcement Of such ordinary pre-
cautions as may be within the power
Of all to prevent the extension of tub
erculosis. Yes, make the effort to con-
Zine it to it's narrowest possible limits,
n the hope that the disease may be fl
aally eliminated from human existance
1t is ar important part of the work
of the la Dor movement to secure more
bre athing space and better sanitary
conditions in the work shops and all
places where people assemble. The
health and the lives of our people must
be protected.
The Health Department of New York
is very much worried over the spread
Of tuberculosis in that city. In a re-
cent report 1t declares that the dis
ease is destroying thousands and thous-
1nds of working people who are COM
1elled to labor under miserable sani-
:ary conditions, or who live in unsani-
tary homes because of their meagre
earnings. Men and women who are
overworked, their children, who are
terrible plague.
The congress of experts on tubercu-
losis (consumption) declared that
The overcrowding Of the working
classes helps to propagate consumption
and retard it's cure.
1t is extremely desirable that an ade-
quate and thorough investigation be
made to thoroughly determine the
minimum, per capita, air space neces-
sary to healthful life in living rooms,
halls, schools, and workshops for var
ious classes Of human beings thus lay
ing the groundwork for legislation
which, In so far as ventilation and SUM-
light can, shall help to prevent tuber-
culosis.
1t would not be bad idea to begin
little work at home among our city
officials for the purpose of fighting the
disease in this city.
