Relations Are important.

"Our relations with the other powers of
the world are important: but still more
important are our relations among our
selves. Such growth in wealth. in popu-
lation, and in power as this nation has
seen during the century and n quarter of
its national life Is inevitably accompanied
by a like growth in the problems which
are ever before every nation that rises to
greatness. Power invariably means both
responsibility and danger. Our forefathers
faced certain perils which we have out
grown. We now face other perils. the
very existence of which it was impossible
that they should foresee. Modern life is
both complex and intense. and the tre
mendous changes wrought by the extra
ordinary Industrial development of the
last half century are felt in every fibre
of our social and political being. Never
before have men tried so vast and formid-
able an experiment as that of administer

The Potato.

The circumnavigator Francis Drake
has the credit Of introducing the potato
to Europe, but the Spaniards had
brought it with the tomato from the
Andes some time before, and it was es-
tablished there and in Italy, where they
called 1t tartufoli, long before Sir Wal
ter Raleigh shipped his cargo, in 1926,
from Virginia to England. According
to Humboldt, it has been cultivated in
England since 1854, in Saxony since
1928 and since 1888 in Prussia.

THE OLD PORTAGE ROAD.
Built by ~Pennsylvania With Material
Brought From England.

For some time prior to 1900 travel
across Pennsylvania had been in ca
noes and in river barges propelled by
poles Or along the shores of rivers by
horse and foot and by intervening
portages on Indian trails. connecting
points on the different rivers. The
MISUNDERSTANDING national pike
wis built upon such a substantial basis
that wherever undisturbed one still
finds the gracefully modelled arches of
solid masonry almost intact after more
than a century has passed. The COM
pletion of the Old Portage railroad by
the state Of Pennsylvania in 1884 put
an end to the time honored coach and

This Old Portage road was construct

the Americans in the running of the
stationary steam engines used upon
the inclined planes of the road in the
Allegheny mountains. The railroads
highest point was about 2,7O0 feet
above sea level, being only 200 feet
lower than the neighboring hill, which
is the highest point of the Allegheny
mountains in Pennsylvania. The road
consisted of ten planes, five of which
were on either side Of the mountain
and intervening levels. In 1885 the
canal boats were so constructed that
they could be taken in sections and
hauled over the mountain on fiat cars
without disturbing their cargoes. The
rails were secured to stone sleepers,
twenty inches square, which were sunk
in the ground.
On the Old Portage road the best
time for the forty miles between Hol-
l%idaysburg and Johnstown was twelve
hours. Express trains on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad now run a closely par
allel distance over the Allegheny noun
tains in a trife over one hour. The
passenger traffic on the road in those
days was usually limited to one car
each way a day, with a capacity of
thirty passengers.
In 1854 the Pennsylvania Railroad
company bought the Portage road from
the state Of Pennsylvania.-Chicago

Better Ea.f's pzacidity.
NJ. Paul Stapfer in the Mercure de
France quotes q fragment OF Victor
Hugo's after dinner monologaes. The
pose OF the man accustomed to an ey-
p%ectation Of big ~utterances, Of meta
physical suggestions, is well conveyed
in the quotations. Victor Hugo, it is
hardly necessary to observe, was dis
tinctly a prophet in his OWL country
us well as abroad. BY 8 in the evening,
says NJ. Stapfer, Victor Hugo had
warmed to his work. He burst forth:
"How poor, how small, how absurd
atheism is! God exists. l am more
sure Of his existence than 1 am Of my
own. If God lends me sufficient length
of life l want to write a book showing
how necessary to the soul prayer is
how necessary and how efhcacious.
Personally I never pass four hours
without prayer. l pray regularly ev-
cry morning and evening. If I wake
in the night L pray. What do I pray
for? Strength. l know what is right
and what is wrong, but I realize my
imperfections and that Of myself I
have not the strength to resist evil.
God surrounds and upholds Is. We
are in him. From him we have life,
movement, being. All is created by
him. But it is not true to say that he
has created the world. He creates it,
increasingly. He is the soul of the uni
verse. He is the infinite I. He is.
you are asleep, Adele!"
The abrupt accusation was hurled at
Mrs. Hugo. Since dinner she had been
sitting silently in an armchair, rather
huddled and drawn up in attitude, her
chin resting OH her chest, her hands
folded on her stomach and her eyelids
closed. Her regular breathing had been
pleasantly interrupted. Reused abrupt
~, injured innocence protested vigor-
ously in her manner, "You dear great
thing, how could you possibly imagine
1 should go to sleep while you were
talking?"

DO Animals Think.

The following facts, which 1 saw
with my own eyes on repeated occa-
sions, fully convinced me that animals
have the powers of memory and
thought. I once had a three parts
bred black and tan terrier, which slept
in a basket in my bedroom that opened
into the nursery. One of my children
was from ill health very fractions, and
whenever Tiny heard it cry she would
go into the nursery, hunt about until
she found a %squeaking rag doll, take it
to the side Of the cot and, sitting up,
shake it to amuse the child. If in do
ing this she did not display powers Of
memory, thought and reflection I utter

Torrance could be attributed.-London

DRIVE OUT SALMON.
PULP MILLS ON THE PENoBsCoT
RIVER SPOIL FISHING.
Contamination of the Water by Ref
use-Weirs and Black Bass
Aid in the Rout of This
Royal Fish.

Twenty years ago salmon swarmed
could go up to the pools below Treats
Falls dam within the city limits of
Bangor, and hook a fine. big fish be-
fore breakfast. Hundreds of salmon
were taken with the fly from these
pools, and thousands were taken in
the weirs along the river below Ban
gor.
Now the salmon is so rare in these
waters, says Bangor report, that the
taking of a single fish is an event of
such interest as to call for mention
in the newspapers. The open season
for salmon began on April 1, and in
the first three weeks this year just
three fish were taken. One was caught
with fly in Bangor pools, one was
hooked and then shot, and the third
was caught in a downriver weir.
Two principal causes are assigned
for the disappearance of the sea sal
mon once so plentiful in the Penob-
scot-the pulp mills and the weirs.
When. about Is years ago, the pulp
mills began to rise along the river
above Bangor, the effects of the con-
tamination of the water by acids and
other waste from the mills were at
once apparent in the diminished run
of salmon. AS the mills multiplied
and the volume of acids used in the
bleaching process increased, the Salm-
on became fewer and fewer. until
now the big. silver sided fishes have
come to shun the river and not
many Of them. on their return from
sea, come further than the upper bay
The Penobscot salmon, big and
strong as he is, is the daintiest of
fishes. very particular about his food
and stunning all polluted waters.
Thomas F. Allen. the most expert OF
all Penobscot salmon fishermen. says
that Notwithstanding its strong hom-
ing instinct the salmon will not
ascend to the spawning beds through
waters poisoned by pulp mill waste,
while they are also discouraged by the
dams and other obstacles erected in
the Penobscot and other Maine rivers.
It was so on the Kennebec. which
once was a salmon river before pulp
mill acids and dams drove the sairn-
on away New York hotels still have
on their dinner bills "Kennebec salm-
on" although there have been no
Kennebec salmon since ever so long
ago. The fishes served are from the
Penobscot or the St. John. or. perhaps,
from the Columbia-cold storage fish.
Another destructive enemy of the
