BIGGEST BOOK is FOUND
| Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, March 1.-THE biggest
book in the world has just been found
in the British museum where, like
Turner's pictures in the national gal
lery, it lay unnoticed many years.
The huge volume is Dutch tome
continuing maps and descriptions Of the
world as 1t was known to the Dutch
geographers of 1850. 1t is as tall as the
average man, being five feet ten inches
high and four feet eight inches wide.
1t is superbly bound, and decorated
with gilt tooling and gold clasps. The
gigantic title page is hand illuminated
the initial letter being gold.
The great volume WAS presented to
King Charles II before his departure
from Holland to come to England to
claim the throne in 1860. The book
came into the possession of George III,
who presented it with his library to the
British museum. 1t is now one of tho
chief treasures of the museum, almost
rivaling in value the Rosetti stone.

MARKING THE OLD TRAILS

From the Boston Herald.
A movement is spreading through the
west which has for its object the per-
manent marking of the old trails along
which the country was penetrated, and
crossed by adventurers and emigrants
in the period before the construction of
railroads. This is a highly praise
worthy undertaking, and to the degree
that the object is faithfully accom-
plished will be a more noteworthy con-
tribution to history than many of the
books that are so classed. Out in Kan
sas they have trail day." which is
observed in the Kansas public schools.
This year the day was observed last
month. The purpose of it is to instruct
the children in the history of the old
Santa Fe trail, with it's significance
in the growth of the west and through
the interest thus aroused in the COM
munity to raise money for marking
the course of the trail which stretched
for 400 miles across what Is now the
state of Kansas when it was a wilder

CRIME OF CAUSELESS WAR
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is hard for the world to believe that
two great European countries will go to
war over a question of ascendancy in
Morocco. These powers have professed
to be among the most pacific. No other
nations have espoused more strongly
the contention that the surest way to
promote peace Is to make the most
tremendous preparations for war, and
no others have more strongly protested
that their own motive in preparing for
war was desire to promote the worlds
peace.
The world may not have accepted
these pacific protestations as entirely
sincere, but it is nevertheless unwilling
to believe that two such nations as
France and Germany would engage in
deadly conflict for alleged rights and
for opportunities, mostly illusory,
wholly outside of their acknowledged
Jurisdiction. The proceedings at Alge-
ciras hvae disclosed the matters osten-
sibly in dispute and they are not such
as should be deemed sufficient cause
of war.

MEGAPHONE IN FUNERAL
Strange Ceremonies Observed at the
Cremation of Cambodia's
Dusky Sovereiqn

Special Gable to The Herald
PARIS. March ia picturesque ac-
count of the funeral ceremonial over
the late King Norodom of Cambodia,
at Pnom Pen, the capital of Cambodia,
has been received by mail.
The body, inclosed in a large wooden
urn, was paraded through the capital,
surrounded by an escort of 5000 Cam
bodian warriors, and military honors
were accorded by the French troops.
Meantime the new king, Sisowate,
and all his priests remained fiat on
their faces for three hours before the
immense funeral pyre which had been
prepared.
After the procession the urn was
placed on the pyre, and Sisowate set
fire to several pans of perfumed al
Cohol placed round the urn. Fagots
of sandalwood had been supplied to
all the European and native notables
who were present, and with these they
fed the flames.
When the urn caught fire King Siso-
waite began to pray in a loud voice.
and the prayer was echoed vigorously
by the priests, the women of the pal
ace and the mandarins. The official
mourners gave voice to a long-drawn
wall, which was uttered through large
megaphones.
The pyre burned for twenty-four
hours.

NEW YORK PROSPECTS

From the New York Tribune.
The Republicans of this state are,
without concealment, worried about
the next election. Even under ordi-
nary circumstances they would have
reason for anxiety, for twelve years of
unbroken success warn them to watch
for the inevitable back swing of the
pendulum. They have been wonder
ing If 1t would not come every off
year for six years. Now special dan
gers confront them. The revelation of
business and political abuses are
bound to hurt the party in power.
They whet the popular appetite for
change for its own sake, without much
regard to the nature of the change.
Cleverly timed to take advantage of
this disposition is the specious demo-
gogic agitation of Socialism only skin
deep" as young Mr.. Patterson of Chi
cago has described municipal owner
ship. Add to these the accumulation
of mistakes. personal enmities and
popular prejudices handicapping a
party which has long borne the re-
sponsibilities of government, and there
is presented a problem to tax the
powers of a Republican campaign
So on every hand we hear
the question: What shall New York
do to be saved?

CURSE OF SHIFTLESSNESS

From the Hartford Comm Times.
Whether shiftlessness is vice that is
incurable or a habit that can be over
come it is, anyhow, a condition that
perplexes and irritates relieving Of
ficials. Shiftlessness is paying ones
last so cents for circus ticket without
learning where tomorrow's breakfast
is coming from. 1t is a refusal to re-
pair the leak in the roof when the sun
shines. 1t is killing the goose that lays
the golden eggs. 1t takes no thought
of the morrow. 1t never lays up any
thing for a rainy day. 1t always
ignores opportunities. 1t prefers to rely
on neighborhood bounty to hustling
for itself 1t won't work except under
the pressure of necessity. 1t never gets
ahead.

OLD AND NEW LOS ANGELES

Col Joseph D. Lynch, whose excel
lent articles on early Los Angeles have
been a delightful feature of The Sun
day Herald for some time, fairly out
does himself in today's issue. Contrib
uted with his usual brilliant reminis-
cences is a seven-column photograph
showing Los Angeles as it looked in
1853, which Col. Lynch put in The
Heralds hands. Both article and pic
ture appear on the last page of the
Sunday magazine section, and The
Herald heartily commends them to its
readers attention.
This picture, taken from the hill
on which the court house now stands,
shows what was then the main part
of the city. The pueblo of Los An
geles, of course, antedated the last
century, and about that pueblo had
grown up a sleepy little town, many
years before this date But the me-
tropolis-to-be showed none of the char
acteristics of a city at this time. 1t
was a dirty, squalid and unkempt 'dobe
village, and the man who would have
predicted for 1t any other future in a
thousand years would have been con-
fined as a victim of insanity or Of a
dreampipe. No one imagined that it
would ever be anything but a 'dobe
village to the end of it's days.
But that Los Angeles was a city of
destiny this picture proves Any
place that had already nearly 100 years
of history and yet showed no more
tendency to greatness, was bound to
be that, or nothing. Only twenty
years after this picture was taken
the change was remarked, and in
single generation the city's future was
more than assured.
And now, not forty years from then,
what? Already the second city on the
coast, and growing faster than any in
the world, with the most superb cli
mate, the most beautiful country and
the finest of people behind her, with
the wealth of the citrus orchards pour
ing in upon her, and $4,000 eager set
tiers coming into her confines every
year-now, what may not be expected
of her? Her destiny now is no longer
guess; it is clearly seen, and thou
sands daily make it more certain. Her
loyal people believe in her absolute
ly and know that what has been is
only the foreshadowing of what is to
be.
To the doubtful-if such there be
let this photograph and Col. Lynch's
words be lesson and an inspiration;
to the believers let it be an earnest
of what was and what can be. And
to all, let it remind them that what
man has done, man can do" Much is
yet to be done and if so much has been
accomplished, what may not the future
contain?

The death of Johann Most removes a
figure from the public life of this coun-
try that has been a source of turbu-
lence and apprehension during many
years. Those who knew Johann Most
intimately were of the opinion that
''his bark was worse than his bite"
but his reckless and extravagant lam
guage led others less thoughtful than
he to do the things which Most only
talked of doing. This is the danger of
all such characters. Reckless men who
use lurid language, only intended to
arouse the populace, are sometimes
astounded to find that weaker minds
have taken their declarations literally.
IT was this sort Of initiative that caused
the Haymarket riots in Chicago and
many another serious disturbance. The
police everywhere will breathe sigh
Of relief at the passing of Johann Most

AN ERA OF EXPOSURE
,m the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The tendency to take alarm because
of the exposure of corruption in vari-
Gus places betrays an unjustifiable
pessimism. On the contrary, there is a
vindication of the public morals in the
arraignment of iniqulties which in the
past have gone unquestioned. There
is nothing new in the existence of the
iniquity. In the impulse to lay it bare,
correct it, efface it, there is evidence
of an awakening sense of justice. Hon
est people form the great majority.
Their attitude toward such as have be-
trayed public or private trust is proof
that in the end their judgment is to

HUMBLE ORIGIN OF GREAT
THINGS

DR.. David T. Day, chief of the min
ing and mineral resources division of
the United States geological survey, has
written for the April number of the
American Illustrated Magazine an
article on Light, the Civilizer," that
will attract more than passing atten-
ton.
In this article DIR. Day develops the
rather startling notion that in affecting
the spread of civilization the achieve
ments of Watts, Stephenson Fulton
and Edison are only secondary in i'm
portance to that of the humble Pitts
burg merchant who put glass globe
around kerosene flame, and the
other obscure men who helped to give
us cheap, steady light for night work.
Samuel NJ Kier was a Pittsburg
druggist who had been selling oil as a
patent medicine under the name,
"Kier's Petroleum" He had a gift
of utilizing everything that came to
his hands, says DR.. Day, and when his
fellow-residents began refining oil he
began to burn it. Then came his great
step of progress. He surrounded the
flame with a glass chimney, and in so
doing he presented to human eye the
first steady, bright light except the
sun, that it had ever used. "All pre-
vious lights" says DR.. Day, fire, the
torch, the candle, the open lamp, the
gas flame without it's modern adjunct,
the jet, had been Pickering and un-
steady, exhausting to the eye, and
weak. Kier's lamp, with its argand
burner and chimney, was thrtyfold as
strong and perfectly steady"
1t will be readily understood what
tremendous Importance this obscure
petroleum and chimneys soon placed
the steady light in possession of the
common people, who were thus enabled
to utilize night hours in study and in
ventions that have llghtened the bur-
dens and cheered the hearts of hu-
manity. Without this the discoveries
by Watts, Stephenson, Fulton and
Edison might have been long delayed.
Turning night into day, with the as
sistance of steady bright light, en-
abled such men as these to work out
their problems in a much shorter period
than if they had been restricted to day
light hours.
The incident is another illustration
of the humble beginnings of great
things. All the inventions of the
world, which we accept now as mat
ters of course, had their origin in SIM
plicity. They began with a study of
small essentials that were already in
view; with things in full sight to which
the ordinary mortal paid no attention.
DIR. Day, in the article quoted, has
recalled to public mind the debt we
owe to the humble men who in their
own small way worked out all the
good that was in them and gave to
humanity contributions of help and en-
couragement that should linger in pop
ular gratitude as long as memory lasts.
