Great Inventions.

INVENTORS are a boastful class of people. The
number of remarkable inventions which we're an
nounced as about to astonsh the world is getting
larger and larger It is not many years ago since
Mr.. Tesla predicted that he would be able, in few
months, to open communication with the planet
Mars. As Mr.. Tesla is still living it is presumed
that his prediction untimely Another invention
which astonshed the world few years ago was Tip
piers famous discovery Of liquid air. The things
which said of liquid air would fill largesized
book; but there must have been weakness some
where, for today it is almost forgotten. Chicago
man by the name Of Magrady made himself famous
by announcing that he had discovered method by
which he could produce perpetual light It is strange
how these inventions disappear the moment they are
about to be perfected.
No doubt some Of these marvellous inventions
were purchased by concerns which desired to sup
press them. Still there are hundreds of others which
have been announced and then quietly disappeared
without even getting testimonial Many still re-
member the glowing words Of praise which we're
lavished upon the man who claimed he had discov-
cred an electric light which to equal the
brilliancy of sunshine. These inventions have been
disappearing at an alarming rate. Mr.. Carnegie
should donate 100000 with which to organize an
exploring expedition to locate that particular grave
yard.

II General Var.

IT IS doubtful if there ever was time when
there more danger of worldwide war than
there is at the present time Russia seems to be
continually violating the international laws of neu-
trality. In fact she sooner energies from one
complication than she precipitates herself into an
other. Great leniency has been shown Russia by
the other nations, but it is possible that their pa
thence will be exhausted if the oenses are not dis
continued For instance, if Russia attempts to
her Black Sea squadron through the Dardanelles,
which would be direct reputation of her treaty
with France and Great Britain, the latter nation
would be compelled to demonstrate in no uncertain
terms
The proposal Of the United States to assume the
responsibility Of paying the debts of Santo Domingo
by managing the customs receipts is likely to prove
embarrassing if accepted by the latter country The
European creditors may not be agreeable, and this
will tax the ingenuity Of diplomats to arrange
matters satisfactorily to all concerned.
The outcome Of the Venezuelan difficulty is still
a matter for con- lecture There are many good
Americans who hold that the United States has taken
an untenable position. It is possible to carry the
Monroe Doctrine to extremes However, it is reas
surfing to note that the general sentiment of all
civilized nations is in favor Of arbitration as sub
stitute for war; Conditions are very favorable for
general war, but it is not likely to occur.

Experiments.

COOPERATIVE colonies are becoming rather pop
ular in this country. At present few of them are
fairly successful experiments 1t is rather prob
lematical whether or not these experiments would
prove success a larger scale. Individualism is
so deeply rooted that it impossible task to
inculcate cooperative in this any other
country Those who have started these cooperative
colonies are prompted by the loftiest Of motives.
They may be considered dreamers today, but fifty
a hundred years hence their dreams may come true.
The people of this country do not desire a
change. Individual initiative offers too many Sc
ductive opportunities to the ambitious for him
to seriously consider the happiness of others. But
altho our captains Of industry may rail against
operative ideas, that is sign that the system is
weak and impracticable. AS these captains would
have to forego their towards the billion dollar
mark, naturally their judgment would be biased in
the premises If cooperation would do away with
four ffths of the poverty which exists, it
tainly would be commendable If it would cause
mankind to cease running the lives of each other
while in the pursuit of wealth, and strive to con-
tribute towards the happiness of others, it would be
an improvement on individualsm. Anything for
change" is dangerous cry; but this cannot be APP
piled to the cooperative movement, as the change
would entail the practice of ideals which are now
little thought of and only believed in by few fol-
lowers of Bellamy

WITH the advent Of spring the shadow of the
tramp creeps the pathway leading to the back
door of the suburban resident. AS these nomadic
individuals wend their way throughout the North
west, the question Of dealing with them receives more
or less consideration This is subject which few
states have settled satisfactorily Most states have
laws which only dispose of them for the time being
but few states have attempted to discriminate
between the genuine tramp and the who is out of
employment The latter is deserving of the utmost
consideration. Oftentimes he is done an injustice by
being classed and summariy treated as tramp
This, instead of improving the situation adds to the
very evil from which many cities asking relief
The vast army Of unemployed persons which an
nually moves from place to place. is increasing The
question of what to do with them has often been
asked, and echo answers-what? To treat the unem-
ployed as Migrants is doing them an injustice The
tramp, however, is pest and should be made to
his livelihood But the man who is willing to work
should never be ''sent up" for vagrancy.

In THE Eastern states the signboard is receiving
considerable attention by travelling tourists. It is
futile to denounce property owners for permitting
manufacturers to obscure beautiful scenic effects by
erecting thereon large signboards. The money thus
earned, altho small amount, is often great help
to the farmer The property owner has the right to
allow sign on his premises. If said sign happens
to detrac from the beauty Of the surrounding prop
erty the owner Of said sign should be appealed to.
There are few prominent roadways which are
free from the signboard Still, the only who
appear to object to this so-called nuisance the
carefree snobs who have nothing else to do but ride
around in automobiles This class seldom teaches the
farmer how he may produce thirty bushels of wheat
to the acre where formerly he had been raising f-
teen. But if the farmer allows signboard to be
