The Making Of Maps

Large map-making firms have geo.
graphical Libraries collected from
every source and in every language.
The modest sketch map OF the mis-
sionary In some wild region is as
highly valued as the moA complete
survey map. In making new map
of any important region the compi,a.
tions made by others are hardly ever
touched. Representatives are sent
out and every detail is taken from its
original source. These representa-
tives are paid enormous salaries. They
are never rushed, but are allowed to
take as long a time with the work as
tt = think necessary. The cost OF
producing a map of the world would
be enormous; each government would
have to share the expense. The time
taken would also be very great. There
are at present no ordnance maps OF
South America, nor Of large portions
OF Asia. Even were a united effort
made It would be many years before
the work could be completed. Diff
ferent methods would have to be en-
ployed in different countries.-St

Equitable officer Seen Through Spec.
tacles Of Friend.
A person who made a rather careful
study of James H. Hyde of the Eouita-
BILE company in his college days ar
rived at these conclusions about his
personal character, which conclusions
he has committed to print: "That
James Hazen Hyde was quite without
vicious tendencies or tastes; that he
was sincerely and earnestly interested
in the French language-and that he
deliberately planned the use Of that
enthusiasm to make an important fig
ure of himself in the world and espe-
cially in France; that Mr.. Hyde was
prudent, not to say close, in every
thing that pertained to the expendi-
ture Of his college allowance-and
that now and then, when an expendi-
ture seemed extravagant, 1t was al
ways followed by compensating ad-
vantage Of fame or more substantial
social or educational benefit to Mr.
Hyde; that the young man was pos
sessed Of a remarkable self-conf-
dence."

APPRENTICES FOR IA YEARS.
UnconsclonabIe Training Period In
English Hat Trade.

OHSOHsSIoneDic tTalHlHS FcTtOu IN
English Hat Trade.
Among the causes recently adduced
by English champions of labor 10 ac-
count for the appreciable falling off in
British industrial supremacy is the
cutgrown system of English appren-
ticeships. 1t is Just beginning to be
realized that these antique rules will
have to be modified If the British
workman is to make any material
progress.
AS an illustration, says the Philadel-
phia Record. it is reported that in the
hat trade to-day a youth is required to
serve seven years as an apprentice
and then an additional seven years as
an improver before he becomes a
master craftsman. u is ridiculous, of
course, to insist on a fourteen years
novitiate before paying a man crafts
mans wages, yet the workmen who
have served this prolonged apprentice
ship are the most insistent for it's re-
tention, not that they think it is neces-
sary, but they are narrow-minded
enough to believe its curtailment
would threaten them and their trade.

crazy husband caught her and was
standing over her, with upraised knife.
when a negro policeman came around
the corner about twenty feet away.
He could not reach the man in time to
save the woman, for the knife was in
the act Of descending, and to shoot
might result In injury to the woman.
God Almighty tells me to kill
you, the crazy man said
'Stopl cried the negro policeman.
I'm God, and command you to stop!'

GAS AND WATER
IS ONE AS NECESSARY AS The
OTHER?
Citizens Of Large cities say II Ia

New York, June 13-In the recent
agitation here about the price OF gas.
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon sup
ply Of gas as upon a supply Of good
water.
1t has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because Of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account Of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, Is
cheaper. better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
sells at s1.0O per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer Of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-ar
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent Of city
gas at 85 cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
is soft, steady and brilliant, and In
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. II water and a solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder

is so simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
It. II II is desired to make 1t for prac-
tical lighting, and to keep 1t for Inn
