 New England may no longer boast her Adamses, a Daniel Webster, a Joseph Story, or a Charles Sumner; CfR T ny. her Grant, the south her Jefferson, England her Glad3t0na, nor Germany her Bismarck. On account of the wider distribution of culture. no por- ton of the world that has at one time produced intellectual leaders can to- day boast of thinkers who arg as con- spicu0us as their famous men of the past. New England is no except on to this rule. There are thinkers living is New England to-day, however, whose work, in its way, bears comparison with that of her earlisr leaders.

 No more striking example of pro- grsssiyeness may anywhere be seen than in the achieyemnts of New Eng land in the civic arls-the art of mak- ing cities wholesome and pleasant places of abode. Chicago is bounding forward with her accustomed energy to repair the neglects and mistakes of the pasJ. New York is awakening to hre civic responsibilities; but Boston is setting an example to the other great cities of the world. in her mag
 nificent metropolitan park systems,
 her water supply and sewerage sys-
 tems, each unapprOachable in its com pleteness. She began by making most elaborate scientific investigations and experimentation, in which was expend- ed nearly four hundred thousand dol-
 lars. The results of these researches have been most valuable to the other
 cities. Her metropolitan sewerage sye-
 tenn has cost her nearly five million
 dollars; her water plant, covering
 thousands of acres, will cost twenty seven million dollars to thirty million dollars, and her completed parks and
 allied improvements as much more.
 Her beautiful aboretum, her Fens, her fresh-water basin of the Mharles riv-
 CT, her Ocean reservations, her public gardens and play grounds, baths,
 gymnasiums, her subway for street traffic, and many other civic improve
 ments, are in advance of any other city
 iii the world. with the possible excep-
 tion Pfaris. Nor is Boston altogeth-
 CT unique among New England cities Springfield, Lowell, Hartford, Portland. New Bedford, Amherst and many oth- CT places have, by expenditures, be-
 come most healrhful and attractive
 places of residence.
 Under present conditions in political life, national fame is largely dependent
 upon holding high office, and mere geo. graphical lies may, in our nominating l conventions, make or mar a great pub lie career. The center political in- l fuence has moved westward. But New England is- to-day, ably and bril- liantly represented in our national councils and in public life by such men
 as John D. Long, ex-secretary of the
 navy; Admiral Dewey: Justice Holmes, of the Unf,ed States Supreme court; Charles w. Eliot: William P. { Frye, ex-president of the United States senate; Senators Gallinger Lodge. Crane and scores of statesmen, jurists, scholars and philanthropis.s of inter-
 national reputation.
 Possibly those critics who assert that l political morality is at a lower ebb In New England than in many, other
 states of the Union, have not even heard of the graft and political "de2a- 1 dence" in St. Louis, Minneapolis, Pitts burg and other cities, or the conditions in Colorado, of the political murdsrers in Kentucky, of the who'esale Corrup- 'tion in Delaware, of the vic!ousness of Tammany politics, nor of the issu- ance in the state of New York of one 1 hundred thousand fraudulent naturali-

WHY DOES STONE MOVE?
Singular Mystery Connected with the
H,4ge Ball of a Cemetery
Monument.

In the cemetery at Marion. o.. there is
q monument VIII has 81 s1e vide
spread attention, ee4aiiy among the
scientists OF the state. Resting upon a
large stone base is a stone ball SO inches
In diameter, weighing 4,200 pounds.
For some time past the stone has been
slowly turning upon its base, revolving
about a horizontal axis In a direction
from north to south. All sorts of theo-
ries have been advanced to explain the
phenomenon, but no decision has been
reached.
The ball originally rested in a socket
provided on the base, the spot on The
ball which fitted in the die not being
polished. A few years ago c. B. Mer-
chant, q local banker, erected the mon
ument. In August, 1904, an employee OF
the cemetery observed that the unpol-
ished spot of the ball had become visi-
BILE and that the ball had ~revolved near
ly 20 inches. in a northerly direction
from its original resting place. Since
that time a regular systematic inspec-
ton OF the phenomenon has been made,
the result being an unquestionable es-

nations show that the ball has moved
five inches.
An investigation showed that the ball
in no way had been fastened to its base,
the builders expecting that its weight
would hold it in place. When the mat
ter was reported to them, they replied
by saying that they had never in their
experience heard of such a phenomenon.
All sorts of inquiries were made. bring
ing a varied lot of replies and e~xplana-
tons. The state ~geologist, Edward Or
ton, assigns the rotation to two causes
First, the ball becofpes more heated in
the sunshine than the heavy base and
consequently expands more, giving rise
to a slight creeping. The ensuing con
traction. he says, is probably not enough
to take up the displacement caused by
the heat In the earlier part of the Law.
Secondly, the circumference of the
sphere probably lengthens out on one
side, giving rise to a pulling stress be-
tween the ball and the base upon which
1t rests.

on its side the mercury collects toward

curry flows down the Tube after the i'm
prisoned air, descending to d distance
proportional to the atmospheric press
ura at the time. When an ordinary
barometer stands at 90 inches, the mer-
Gnry descends FIVE inches; when at 81

THE Lizard. May 29.-The American
schooner yacht Atlantic was ten
miles off the Lizard at 4.45 p. IN.
and thirteen miles south Of PenzsBce.
All were well on board and she had
a splendid voyage Her crew heartily
responded to the cheers Of the passen-
gers and crew on board a passing
steamer.
The Atlantic passed Wolf Rock
with every stitch of sail set. Her spin
maker was rugged to starbOard and the
American ensign was at her peak
Shortly afterward the wind d-orped
and the spinnaker was taken in.
Captain Barr was hailed by the cor
respondents boat He said the Allan
tic had made an average speed Of 101-2
Knots since leaving Sandy Hook.
As the Atlantic keeied her hull
showed rust, but there was no sign OF
seaweed.
The Atlantic was flying the inter-
national code letters X : r b" The
wind continued to tighten and the
yacht was unable to finish before dark
ness set i'm.
Shortly before the Atlantic reached
the mark the wind fell almost to calm
and the tide turned against her.
Crowds OF people lined the cliffs
watching the yacht eudeavoriuE to
make the mark with all sails set.
The Atlantic passed the line south
of the Lizard lighthouse at 9I5 p. m,
when a gun was fired from the German
cruiser PfeiI. the stake boat. which
arrived early in the evening. rockets

The Atlantic proceeded for COwes by
way of southampton, intent on beating
