Mir. Prescott F. Hall certainly showed much ingenuity when he made the rather drab problem of "Immlgra- tion" what one of our leading review CTS styles "a fascinating subject" He did this so well that Messrs. Henry Holt and Company report his book has proved more popular than many nov els and has already been sent to press for it's fourth printing.
 Anthony Hopes Dolly Dialogues" is one of the books that seems to have become a contemporary classic. This humorous society tale in dialogue, with it's rather pathetic undercurrent was a startling antithesis to the au- thors "Prisoner of zenda,' and tho in such a totally different field, has made such a, success that Messrs. Henry Holt and Company are now having to reprint it for the seventeenth time.
 It may rather astonish those who have enjoyed Arthur Colton's fantastic warns. eThe Cruise of the Violetta" and "The Belted Seas" to learn that he is "a land man, pure and unadul- terate; he lives on farm, and has never been to sea, either in boat or a bowl,"

AMERICAN WASTEFULNESS
We Act as If We Thought Our Re-
sources Were InexhaustibIe

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
Instances of American wastefulness
abound on every hand, but there is no
better example than is afforded by the
devastation of the forests. Untold mil
lions of board feet of timber are left
every year by lumbermen to rot on the
ground or in stumps. and quantities
almost as vast are destroyed by forest
fires.
1t was scarcely decade ago that the
forests of the United States were be-
lieved to be inexhaustible, but now
everybody who knows anything of the
rapidly that their complete extinction
is a matter of only few years
This fact Is realized by the railroads,
the great numbering concerns and other
extensive users of timber, and some of
them are taking steps to replace the
forests already destroyed, but from
the planting of the seed to the cutting
of the matured tree is long time to
wait-from twenty to thirty years
and In the meantime where is Il
country to look for its lumber supply?
The deposits Of mineral sand metals
are going the same way. In an ad-
dress to the Columbia university grad
yates in science the other day DR..
James Douglas said that the mon
strous wastefulness' of the mining
methods in vogue In this country would
soon bring about the exhaustion of
chose resources which we have fondly
regarded as inexhaustible."

THE AuToBue
Doesn't Wear Goggles and Make Noise
Like a Honk.

From the New York World.
There's a new bug in town. There al
ways is, for that matter, but this one has
been caught, tagged and properly brand
ed and pretty soon somebody on roof
garden will be writing tropical verse
about him.
Hes the auto bug, and he's bad
medicine. He's worse than the gypsy
turn provides food for space writer's in
the Sunday supplements. He's worse even
though it doesn't seem possible, does
it?-worse even than what every self-re-
speeding special writer for the last three
weeks has been calling the poor, fool
ish. huttering little butterflies OF the
Great White Way" You may have no
ticed something of this sort in the pa
pers. Only one special writer SO far for
got what he owed the ethics of the pro-
fession as to omit it from the story, and
he was promptly fired by his city editor
for viola ting the traditions.
But speaking of the auto bug, to Err
nest w. Wridgway, manager of a garage
or gasoline scent-shop up on Broadway,
belongs the honor of bringing the auto
bug prominently before the public.
Your honor" said Wridgway to Magis-
trate Flnelite, in the West Side court,
when he appeared against Theodore Tgus-
ton, this man has been stung by the auto
bug. He's got a bad case, but
Kindly elucidate auto bug, said the
magistrate.
WELL" explained Mr.. Wrdgway, che is
suffering from what we call the auto
bug. He wants to ride in machines all
the time. When one leaves the garage he
jumps into a seat and rides until he Is
put off. If there is only one seat he
jumps in the lap of the driver. Now. only
the other day, there was lady driver,

But the magistrate was already putting
Aguston under bonds. Just as II putting
a man under bonds would ever cure HIM

In different cases the symptoms appear
to vary widely Sometimes the victim be-
comes addicted to the habit of wearing a
set of brindle brides on his eyes and a
bearskin coat that makes him look as

four pounds. He Is generally dellrious
and may be heard muttering of "shock
recoils" and 'carbureters' and sparkling
plugs and Magistrate Crane" and other
technical terms pertaining to the craft.
Again, with others we find them having
mania for driving large, snorting cars
at remarkable speed through crowded
streets and giving the great common peo-
pie a little wholesome exercise lodging.
This is the most malignant form of the
bite, and is only cured permanently when
the patient meets the Empire State Elk

The auto bug itself is described as be-

BRUlN REPLACES THE DOLL.
Little Girls, and Women, Too, Logging
Brown Bears About.

From the New York Sun.
One of the oldest crazes that has struck
the realm of childhood of late is the fash
lon of carrying bears In lieu of dolls.
Ever since President Roosevelt, who is
said to be responsible for the within, re-
turned from his famous western trip with
a couple of bears as his game, "Teddy's
BEARS introduced by some farseeing man
ufacturer, have taken like wildf1re and to-
day at all the seashore resorts children
are seen hugging to their bosoms bears
of different sizes while their dollies are
neglected.
At all the Jersey resorts there are troops
of little girls and big ones. too-even
women-who lug bear pets about with
them. Sartorially bears are quite az
smart as their little mistresses and entire
wardrobes suitable to the different occa-
sions when they must appear in society
are provided.
One of the favorite styles of dress is the
sweater and Tam O'Shanter combinations;
while occasionally a pair of goggles and
a string of coral beads will constitute tho
costume. Bathing suits are provided so
that the bears can accompany their mis-
tresses into the water. Much smarter
clothing comes for other important social
functions when full dress is required.
At Atlantic City even the women have
adopted the craze and 1t Is not at all un-
usual to see a woman riding in a wheeled
chair with a big brown bear beside her.

Atheism Not Scientific.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Is atheism scientific? 1t is utterly Jun
sciartific. remarks Sir Oliver Lodge, to
imagine that man was the highest being
that existed Indeed. scientifically speak
tng. there hardly can be more hopeless
Nv uneducated notion that man is the
highest Intelligent existence or that we
nwel1ers on this planet know more about
the universe than any other sentfent be-
Ing. Science has investigated and shown
that we are the product of planetary
processes. We may be and surely must
be something more; but we clearly are a
development of life this planet earth.
Science also has revealed to us an in
Vulnerable host of other worlds and has
relegated the earth to its now recognized
subordinate place as one of a countless
multitude of worlds. The self-glorlfying
instinct Of the human mind resented that
and for long chung to the Ptolemaic idea
that the earth was the center of the uni
verse and that the sun and all the stars
were subsidiary to 1t. A Ptolemaic idea
still clings to some people as regards
man: we insignificant creatures, with
senses only just open to the portentous
meaning of the starry sky, presume to
deny the existence of higher powers and
higher knowledge than our own. 1t Is
possible to find people who, knowing next
to nothing of the universe, are prepared
TO limit existence to that OF which they
have had experience and to measure the
cosmos In terms of their own understand

ception OF the real magnitude and com
plexity of the universe ever can have

In recent years. on more than one oc-

Seventy mine miles east of Valparaiso

May Abandon Ills Studies of Art on
Other Side.

From the New York Commercial.
Charles Dana Gibson is homesick. ac-
cording to letters received from him by
friends in New York. When he set his
face resolutely against all temptations to
continue a black-an-white artist and
started for Europe to study the cele-
brated canvases of Spain, France and
Italy, he was told that he was too in
tense an American to remain away from
Broadway for three years. He laughed
scornfully.
Really, I shall be glad to be rid of
the uproar and dust" he declared. Be
sides, l am tired of being identified with
one national type. Catholicity is the true
spirit and cosmopolitanism the highest
ideal in art"
So he sailed for Spain.
1t appears that had it not been for the
protests of those who are with him he
would have come back to the United
States month ago, on the completion
of his Spanish tour. At that date he had
had enough of European art galleries for
a lifetime. Thus he has written In SUBJ
stance.
New York art circles are asking whether
Mr. Gibson. after weakening In one part
of his programme, is likely to weaken in
another What If he should decide to re-
turn to black and white? Some of his
friends think 1t was the example of
Whistler who began as an etcher and
then took up oils, that prompted Dana
to make his own departure after many
years of devotion to the art in which he
became famous.
AS Whistler reverted in old age from
oil to etching and urged his contempor-
aries to think of him and describe him as
an etcher and not a painter, 1t will be
interesting to note how far the analogy
will be carried in the case Of Gibson.
There Is no black-and- white artist liv-
Ing to surpass him. Will the great paint
lngs of the Old World read him the les
son of the folly of his new ambition?

Good Times Across the Border.

From Modern Mexico.
Don't worry about Mexico's boom.
Her railroads are buster with their 10
cal traffic than they are with imports.
Her own factories are making more
goods every day. but the imports. too,
continue to increase. Her people are
earning more and better wages and
they are buying more and better goods.
Mexican and foreign capital are being
employed to bring Mexico up to the
front of the procession of nations
that is ALL For good many years she
has been tagging behind but her re-
sources have not suffered by the delay,
and now, profiting by the examples OF
her more tranquil sisters. she is ad-
vancing rapidly. Mexico can continue
to boom for the next ten years without
danger of OVERRIDING things and then
the newcomer will not notice any new
frills.
