MALE STENOGRAPHERS ARE
WANTED.
Local Employment Bureau Cannot
Supply Demand for Experts. A
Needed Speed Shorthand
Course Started

The employment bureau Of the Y
NJ. c. A, which supplies most of the
office help for this city, reports a great
scarcity of good stenographers.
There has not been a day since July
1st that this bureau has not had on
file from two to six calls for men who
could do shorthand and typewriting
work.
One reason for this scarcity is that
men are constantly graduating from,
good stenOgraphic positions TO better
executive positions. having become ac-
quainted with the inner workings of
the business. Another reason for the
demand is that so many young men
merely get d smatteTing of stenog-
raphy and never qualify for first-class
positions.
To overcome this difficulty the Y Nj.
c. A has arranged this year for a
course in Speed Stenography, thus In
creasing the earning power of every
stenogra pher who enters the course.
This class meets Monday and Thurs
day evenings from 1880 to $3.50 Mr..
Willis H Fowle. formerly OF the Rem
ington Typewriter company, is the in
structor.
This course is open TO men only. Full
er details may be secured by calling at

quences were not anticipated, however.
The residents who lived in the vicinity
of the explosion left their houses,
screaming, and ran out of havoc
way. Some left none too soon.
One of the largest bOulders struck
the house occupied by w. Z. Alexan-
der and his sOn-in-laW, c. e. Darro-
nogue. When the blast occurred Mrs

time to jump from her bed and run
into the next room. the boulder just
missing her by about three feet The
bed on which she had been lying was
smashed into kindling and the bedding
dragged out into the yard. Mrs. Alex
ander was standing in the doorway
when the boulder struck the rear o.
the house, and she had just stepped tC
one side when the rock entered the door
where she had been standing.
About forty feet from the AleXandel

Doesn't Like Chicago Weather.

Before expressing himself freely upon
the subject of Chicago. particularly
Chicago weather, Mr.. Browne politely
aScertained whether his interviewer
was native of the Windy City. Find
ing that he was not, Mr.. Browne pro-
ceeded to unbOsom himself regarding
the summer time in Chicago. His chief
enjoyment during the past four months
was found in a short fishing trip in
Michigan. accompanied by a number of
other enthusiastic fishermen. The trip
was productive of a number of Strik-
ing cartoons which appeared later in
the Tribune.
This was not Mr.. Brownies first work
in America Two years ago he paid
a visit to this country, engaging him
self for a time on the New York pa
pers. He likes the change once in a
while, and says he always returns to
London feeling refreshed and more like
working.
American and British cartoon work
differ from each other materially. In
London, according to Mr.. Browne. not
more than three daily newspapers are
addicted to the cartoon habit at all.

tons of any kind Most of the carica-
lures appear in the weeklies, to which
Mr. Browne is a constant contributor.

Hartman Is Interested.

Judge Young would not make any def
mite statement as to the identity of the
purchasers, but there are strong indica-
tons that the Hartman interests, as
first reported. are directly involved in
the deal Mr.. Young declined TO state
whether this was true. but when asked
whether he cared to deny the Hartman
rumor. he declined to do so.
Regarding the future management of
the company, Judge Young predicted that
few changes would be made i'm the imme-
date future. but minated that w. II.
Bancroft is highly regarded among those
interested in the future of the Utah
Light & Railway company and that he
would probably have considerable TO do
with its future management. This is sig

Hartman interests through his connec-
ton with the Oregon Short Line

The most important feature of the
deal. as far as Salt Lake people are con
cerned. is the assurance now made that
much-needed improvements will be made
at once. The new controlling interests
of the company, according to Judge
Young. Will put the company on sound
financial footing, making it possible to
carry out, among other things. the inter
urban projects which have long been un-
der contemplation. The lines to Garfield
and Sandy are TO be pushed to compile
ton as fast as the new management can
do so. The present equipment of the
street car company is to be modernized
and brought up to a standard demanded
by the size of the city and the growing
needs of the service

Prof. LankeSter
 Talks On Science

the British Association, at York, writes the London correspondent of the New York Sun, Prof. Lankester in his presi- dential address reviewed the remarkable progress made in science in the last quarter of century. It would, he said stand out forever in human history as the period in which new chemical ele ments of astounding properties were re- vealed with extraordinary rapidity.
 The discovery of radio-activity and radium so far exceeded all others in importance that it might be accounted supreme. It was a privilege to have lived when the discovery was made.
 Dr. Lankester summarized the won derful properties of radium as revealed by the late Prof. Curl and others. He dwelt particularly upon the apparent facts that q small quantity of radium diffused through the earth will maintain its temperature against all loss by radia- tion, while if the sun consists of a frac tion of l per cent. of radum this would make good the heat annually lost by the sun.
 These, he said, were tremendous facts and upset all the calculations of physi- cists concerning the duration in the past and in the future of the suns heat tl l, 'l, hn mate of geological time based on the assumption that the material of the earth is self cooling. Within five years it had become evident that the material was not self cooling. On the contrary it was self heating, and away went the re- strictions imposed by geologists and biologists, who are now willing to give, not merely thousand million years, but as many more as are wanted.
 Referring to psychology, Dr. Lankes- ter said the most important general advance seemed to be the realization that the mind of the human adult is d social product and he paid d tribute to the important work on this subject by Prof Baldwin of Princeton University. A review of twenty-five years led him to the conviction that Darwin $ conclvsiOns as to the origin of species were more firmly established than ever despite the attempt to controvert them.
 Dealing with human health, the speak er urged that more public encourage ment should be given to the study ot preventable diseases. Far more money than is spent now ought to be expended in this study. Taking Great Britain alone, it was necessary to spend 1000 of public money where q is spent now. Itwould be reasonable and wise to lay out el0, 900 of the public revenue yearly in investigating and combating disease. For want of such q policy thousands were dying of preventable disease.
 Political administrators, as we'll a. permanent officials, were as unaware today as they were twenty-five years ago of the vital importance oi science. Whole departments in which scientific knowledge WAS the one thing ueedful were carried on by ministers, secretaries and clerks who were not only ignorant ci science, but dislikcd it because in
