Very Red Tape.

A few months ago the President ap-
pointed a committee to make thorough
investigation OF the business methods of
each OF the several departments at Wash

some OF the red-tape ways OF doing
things.
Secretary Bonaparte, on being inter-
viewed by this committee. told the follow

the free use OF red tape In tho govern

"One OF the naval officers on a certain

Not Bad, but Doubtful.

From the New York Tribune
Rear Admiral Longnecker. who recently
retired. was talking one day at League
Island navy yard about discomfort among
soldiers and sailors.
Men are often disconnected without
reason he said. but oftener they have
good ground for their grumbIing, and 1t
is because their officers are stupid or lazy
that conditions do not improve.

Power Of Attention.
From the Century.

FROM the century.
Tho fact that the mind Of man is easily
distracted from any subject in contsm-
piation accounts for the slowness of the
development of most minds. and for the
extreme slowness of the development Of
tho human mind collectively. There are
historical periods when general enIighten-
ment seems to have advanced by leaps
and bounds, but when one takes cognizance
of the tens Of thousands of years that man
has been at play In the kindergarten OF
creation one Is aware Of the very gradual
and deliberate character of human progress
as whole; and this delfberateness OF
growth and the remains OF ignorance and
superstition even In minds regarded as edu-
Gated come largely from the inability OF
men to keep their thoughts employed stead
lastly on the various objects and problems
of matter mind and life. The faculty OF
attention Is strikingly lacking in the savage
man; 1t increases as civilization increases,
and Is a large factor In the advances OF
civilization and of culture.
When the power of attention Is excep-
tional in the individual, he Is set apart
from his fellows; he is q genius In the
business world, or perhaps poet, artist,
inventor, discoverer, philosopher, reformer
statesman, or conqueror. When the power
of attention In a community has been
stimulated by one attentive mind, or by a
group of attentive minds. the world passes
great reforms take place: there Is great
material or intellectual advance or there
are revivals In letters and in the plastic
arts
The supreme object of the teacher Is to
cultivate attention In his her charges.
When a child has learned how to pay at
tention he has learned how to study and
to learn. object lessons are favorite de-
vices for fixing attention. According to the
orthodox theologies, religion has been
taught to mankind largely through object
lessons in the form sometimes of progress
sive revelations and the systems of SYM
bols In all religions may be called simply
devices for fixing the wandering attention
of souls. for their sustenance and lasting
benefit.
We see. year In and year out the coming
and going of beliefs. customs; popular heroes
or more popular pets; best sellers among
books; sports. movements and fads of all
kinds. which figure prominently only as
long as they are able to claim the attention
OF large groups or of the entire community.
The whole system OF business advertising,
and the infinite number of publicity de-
partments-publicity to all sorts of wares
and all manner of causes-are nothing but
means of securing attention: of spreading
Information and inducing action through
suggestion.

The Sea Serpent.

From the London Chronicle.
The cult Of the sea serpent being re-
viyed In France. even an expedition to
seek It suggested. In learned article by NJ.
Raphael Blanchard. It seems tat the sea
serpent has been seen more than once OF
the coast of Tonquin. and. having been
so obliging as to choose a French colony
for his hunting ground, everything points.
according to the learned professor of medi-
cine, to his capture by French natural
list. This seems scarcely necessary. how
even since III. Blanchard gives q minute
portrait of the creature, not forgetting his
'moustache avantageuse'' and his tough
skin, ION which hoWitzer may rain shot
without causing him the least fncouven-
tence." Certainly. as the articles concludes
by saying: la question du serpent de mer
est vraIment passionnante.''
