THE PLACE WHERE
NATIONS PREPARE

II Is singular fact that the nations
recently engaged In war with each other
in the Far East were so dependent upon
a single company for war material that,
were il not for II, hostilities might never
have been declared. writes Day Allen
Wiley in his article on tho Krupp gun
works I'm the Technical World Magazine.
Some OF Russia's finest vessels were built
by these German constructors and
equipped with guns cast also at their
works. while much OF the ammunition
which they used was manufactured by
the same company. The heavy ordinances
on the japanese battleships came partly
from the same source that supplied the
czar's cannon. Today the Essen works
have facilities for manufacturing ord
nance Of every type ranging from the
one-pounder rapid-fire gun used in the
lighting top OF the warship, TO the sea-
coast defence gun and the main battery
of the first-class battleship. UP TO the
present time this monster plant has COM
pleted about 5000 guns for naval and
coast defence and artillery. including the
gun carriage and other accessories.

NEW YORK ART COLONY.

Many persons who have visited the place
in recent years have compared il to the
Quarter Latin in Paris and other foreign
artist colonies, but there is nothing more
typically American than Macdougal alley.
Fully half of the artists have brought
their families with them. to llye near their
studios, and the close bond of sympathy
between them makes the home life par
ticularly attractive. In the summer time
the doors of the studios are thrown open
and the artists wives take their chairs
out on the clean, cemented court while
the children play in perfect safety around
them. Only one or two of the better
class Of stables are still used for horses
and the drivers who bring their carriages
in and out would sooner smash the We
hlcles than hurt any OF the little ones
There is very clannlsh spirit in the
alley, and the children are of the royalty.
And while the alley actually rubs elbows
with aristocratic Washington square it's
people do not plume themselves on that
account. II the visitor is imbued with
genuine love Of art work he is received
with the same cordial interest, whether
he be millionaire seeking to enrich his
collection, or a Bohemian without a
penny In his r*kets There can be no
better American spirit than this.-From

FASHIONS IN RINGS.

A very pretty and fanciful looking finger
ring, that is one OF the advance couriers
of the Christmas present season, has made
its appearance in the shop of a prominent
London jeweler.

a small cluster of gems, and from 1t de-

which hangs a specimen pearl, pear

THE COMMISSION
TO GERMANY.

The despatch og tariff commission to
Germany Is a timely move. As the result
Of an understanding rather than an agree
ment effected last winter Germany sus-
pended the operation of her new fiscal
system so far as American imports are
concerned until July 1, 1907 The under
standing on our side went no further
than the expression OF hope that certain
customs regulations would be modified In
Germany's favor and general supposi-
tion that the whole question would re-
ceive prompt attention In congress.
The failure TO put either OF these plans
into effect has placed the state depart
ment I'm a somewhat embarrassing posi-
tion. Germany's action was by no means
unselhsh, but il did call for reciprocal
consideration which the state department
hoped would be given to IL and that cer-
tainly should have been given, This coun-
try wants no tariff war with Germany. IL
is not a question OF which contestant
could better stand conflict, which would
lose the less by Il. IEsthis day OF the
world a commercial struggle is as urde-
sirahle as an armed conflict, and may he
quite as costly.

would not be affected by the changes In
Germanys tariff, but the failure 10 reach
an agreement will cost US more than we
want 10 lose. The fact that Germany's
loss would probably be heavier than ours
would be a poor compensation. New

profane language on the streets or in
public places-and a novel plan has been

tab on all the swear words and profanity

been so arranged as to make the punish

fine OF 10 cents has been fixed and for
stronger brands the users will have to
pay 81 cents each. Whether the scheme
will have the desired effect remains to be

Does he think any unbiased citizen of Rhode Is

nounced that he stood by the declaration he made

TRIBUTE TO THE QUAIL.

DR.. Kalbfus pays this tribune to the
quail: "No game bird seems to have
firmer hold upon the public mind
than the common quail, or Bob
White, and study of this bird, un-
dertaken by the biological survey at
Washington, demonstrates, by almost
limitless examination and experiment,
that the economic value of the quail
is equaled by but few birds, and ex-
ceeded by none. His food supply is
more varied than that of most birds,
and is almost without exception drawn
from scource through which nothing
but good can result. He consumes
many things, such as potato bugs,
chinch bugs the cotton boil weavel,
certain caterpillars, spiders and other
insects, that most birds avoid, and
that, when taken at all by such other
birds, are eaten to limited extent
only" Prof. Surface says in his bTl-
letin of January, 1904 No birds on
the farm are more valuanle as seed
eaters and insect destroyers than the
common quail"

late the borough has decided to pro-
