mined for itself alone; it is more profit
able to secure it as by-product But
the day may not be far distant when
cobalt will be mined for itself alone. In
its greatest quantity cobalt is now pro-
duced as an accessory of nickel.
There is evidence to show that the
use of cobalt in coloring glass is one of
the rediscovered secrets of the ancients
Modern Europe did not know of this
property of cobalt oxide until 1870; be-
fore that time the metal was supposed
to be worthless, in compound, as It IS ;
now of itself-except in Mr.. Edison's
battery, of course Blue pottery and
glass recovered from ancient ruins have
been found to have cobalt as base for
their color.
Not until almost two hundred years
after the first commercial use of this
gnome metal was discovered by Scheurer
did Brandt recognize it as one of the ele-
ments. Now, nearly two and three
quarter centuries after Brandt, it would
seem that the element itself is to be
proved commercially useful and cause a
startling revolution in transportation, if
only it can be produced in sufficient
quantity and purity to make it cheap
Unless it can be found in compare
lively pure state the long and tedious
process will render its use in Mr.. Edi-
sons factory impracticable.
The principal localities of cobalt pro-
duction to-day are Schneeberg, Saxony,
where the metal got its bad name; Mo-
dun, Norway; Tunaberg, Sweden; MI
sen, Rhenish Prussia; Bolivia; Chile;
little spot in Missouri; the Transvaal,
where pure variety of what is known
as speiss cobalt, free of nickel, has re-
Gently been found; and Canada, where
| it is mined as an accessory of silver.
The Canada mines are the latest to
be opened The presence of the element
in the Dominion was not suspected until
big cut for new railroad through
virgin forest revealed it in company with
its customary bed-fellow, silver. The
latter metal at once brought about an
influx of miners, who were not long in
making the discovery that the by-product
of cobalt would be a very valuable asset
to the mines. Hence, to-day quite an
| appreciable percentage of the worlds
supply of cobalt is being obtained from
| Ontario. Round about the combined CO.
bait and silver mines, which are more
like diggings than mines, town of sew
eral thousand inhabitants has sprung
into existence, and it is now possible for
the traveller to go from New York to
Chicago without a change of Pullmans
into the very heart of this region, which
only a few months ago was veritable
wilderness. Many Americans are living
in the town, and not few of the mines
are controlled by Yankee capitalists; it
is American money that is largely re-
sponsible for the rapid development of
the Canada of to-day
The discovery and development of
several more cobalt beds as extensive as
the Canadian bed would probably bring
down the price of the mineral to the
figure desired by Mr.. Edison And with
this Wizard of the Century on the track
of the metal, who knows where it will
be mined next, to the end that you and
| may behold another wonderful revo-
luton in transportation and other appli-
cations of electricity?

THE SUNDAY OtESTI0N.

The New Haven Association of Con- gregational Ministers, and the Rev. Dr, Newman Smyth in particular, are queery accused of raising the Sunday question" Is this exactly right? Wasn't ''the Sunday question" really raised by The Associated Civic Socie- ties of New Haven when it decided to hold it's meetings on Sunday afternoon, and when it announced a programme which included performances that | caused people who are still sensitive about Sunday to sit up and take notice? Are Sunday meetings in Woolsey Hall, even for the purpose of talking a good kind of politics, likely to be just what they were intended to be? And does 1 The Associated Civic Societies of New Haven show adequate skill and tact when it offends what calls itself the moral sense of New Haven, and is, we suppose, as much entitled to recogni- tion as such as any other sense that may offer itself for consideration? One thing is certain. Many who still remem- Der the Sabbath day don't like to see it used as it has been at Woolsey Hall and as it seems likely to be if the Sun day meetings continue, Perhaps they will be charged with being behind the times. Perhaps they are behind the times. But they may be quite as right as the times. Anyhow that is the way they feel, and they have the right to show their feeling and to do what they think is their duty.
 We think. considering the fact that New Haven Is New Haven, that those who raised the Sunday question would do well to lay it by deciding to hold their meetings on weekday evenings, when they wont have to feel that they are disturbing and distressing a lot of their esteemed fellow citizens who most deeply believe that Civic Betterment should include a better observance of Sunday

which Professor Schick of Munich de- livered the other evening, in Kings College, London. He said that during the last ten years the study of Eng fish had made great strides throughout Germany and with that study the study of Shakspere had correspondingly in- creased. In Munich within those years the number of Shakspearian stu dents had doubled; Shakspere lectures draw the largest audiences, and in the University of Munich there are now six professors of Shakspere, each lecturins from different points of view. In each university the Neuphilologische Vereine concerned themselves largely with Shakspere, and their membership was steadily growing. The love of Shaks- pere was fostered also by the number less theatres, subsidized by State Or Court, in whose repertoires Shakspere figured most frequently, the next in or der being Wagner, Schiller, Goethe and Mozart. More than half of Shakspere's 8 plays received occasional representa- tion while twelve of the greatest are constantly played. At Munich there are one or more performances every week. In some places there were spec ial shakspere stages. During 1905 shakspere was played in German in 146 theatres, and 2S plays were given. The lecturer described the annual Shakspere festival at Weimar, and concluded with an account of the work of the Deutsche shakspere-Gesell- schaft, which, having been founded ex- actly three hundred years after Shaks- peres birth, syncmonized with the new birth of national life under Bismarck, whose earliest extant letter was writ ten in English and contained a quota ton from shakspere.

LOVE AND TEACHING,

Are girls in love competent to teach school? An Ohio jury doesn't seem to think they are. The young woman in the case, Miss Ethel Downend. was en- gagged as music teacher in the public schools of Mansfield for one year She was dismissed several months before the expiration of her term, the board alleging incompetency. The teacher sued for the remainder of her salary. Attorneys for the defence alleged that Miss Downend was in love and there fore could not get her mind on her school work. The defence showed she was married to Clyde Wilson shortly after the expiration of that school term, and that she went buggy-ridlng with him frequently after school hours.
 We suppose that girl might be in love in way that would make school teaching seem rather tame and unin- teresting. and this might be such a case. But there are many girls who can and do both love well and teach well Some of them live right here in New Haven, and they are going to be married here sooner or later. We hope it will be sooner, and we know that meanwhile none of them will neglect her school duties for love.

There will be in Lyon, France, next summer an exhibition of electrical de- vices that can be applied to domestic uses. The purpose of this exhibition, which will be under the control of the Agricultural and Scientific Association of Lyon, is to give the people a clear understanding of what has been ac- complished in the application of elec- tricity to labor-saving devices that are cheap and effective. Motors that may be used on embroidery, sewing and knitting machines, ventilators, vacuum carpet cleaners, house-cleaning ma- chimes and floor polishers will be shown, and no motor that is of more than one- horsepower will be accepted for exhibi- tion.

A bill before the Landtag of Wurtem- berg provides compulsory education for laborers. If 1t becomes a law every community having as many as forty male lahorers under the age of eighteen will be obliged to establish a commer- cial and trade school and compel at- tendance. Practically the same pro- vision will be made for the education of girl workers. In smaller communi- ties schools will be established at the discretion of the government. All the schools will be under government su- pervlsion. The school bill also provides that no boy under seventeen shall enter dram shops.

It is declared by the Prohtbitionists that the system has ut- terly failed to vindicate itself, and has produced an abundant brood of blind tigers in the State Including those that were voted out during the past year there are about TAO legal dispen- saries. Nearly five hundred liquor and beer dealers are paying an internal rev. enue tax to the Federal government. which collects the tax impartially from legal and illegal vendors.

Philosophy of Advertising.

In discussing the philosophy of Ad-
vertising the Norborne CMo.) Demo-
crat asks who pays for the advertis-
ing of merchants and other business
men. Answering its own question it
constructs this chain of argument:
Not the advertiser, for the cost is
returned to him four-fold in increasing
profits; not the purchaser, for ne
buys cheaper from the advertiser and
has a better assortment and fresher
goods to select from. Who, then,
really pays the advertising bills? The
n~o1-advertiser, of course. A just pro-
portion of the money he loses by mis-
lack of initiative and enterprise finds
it's way eventually to me printer, to
advance the cause of education and
the interests of the community.
In commenting upon the above the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
adds:
VERY good. But it should be add
ed that if the n-on-advertiser should
become an advertiser and "a his
money directly to the newspaper ne
would get tel many times over In
increased trade, and thus be a gain
er instead of a loser. This makes the
argument complete and u-nanswerable.
Moreover, the contention is sustained
by the experience of the most ucces

Improvement, the democratic plan is

tent to ecure a part of the plumber
when the %plunderer dies, the demo

taxing power from private hands and
to destroy monopoly. When equal OPP
portunities are open to all and when
no one can grow ricn by %cunningly
defrauding his neighbor, no man can
grow rich enough to make his fortune
a menac to the reward which he can
earn by giving society an equivalent
service, the menace of predatory
wealth will be removed and justice
established. This is a democratic

of a government administered accord

dreamers, and every day brings those
dreams nearer to a realization. Ev-

the only popular republican leader

cerity that they nave supported a pre-
sident of the opposite party better
than the republicans have supported
their own president.
But tae republicans have had some
dreamers in the party. Hamilton had
a vision of an ~aristocratic govern
ment, and that vision was embodied
in a form of government which he
sought to have adopted. Fortunately
it was rejected, and every rear car
ries us farther away from the ideas
of Hamilton and nearer to the ideas
of Jefferson. Lincoln was a dreamer
but he found his Inspiration in JEFF
~ferson, and Linceln's arguments no
longer have weight with republican
leaders.
The republican party has had some
recent dreams but they have proven
to be nightmares. 1t had a dream of
empire. 1t pictured the United States
as the possessor of colonies and fol-
lowing at the tail end of the European
procession. Every year shows the
countliness of the experience in colo
nialism; every year brings us nearer
to the democratic position, which is
the American position, namely-that
the right of the Filipinos to self-gov-
eminent must be recognized as the
right of the Cubans of self-government
has been recognized. Every year
makes it more evident that we should
nave pTOIllSSu independence at the
very beginning and that We must ul-
timately promise 1.-THE sooner, the
better.
The democratic party even now has
a dream that must sooner or later
commend itself to the thinking people
of the country. 1t is a vision of a gov
eminent brought into harmony with
divine will. Gods plan is to suit the
