historians of this period and it gives
him much gratification:
Il think you have emphas. .Zed the po-
sition of our government as being neither
a government for the rich nor for the
poor but an arDiter endeavoring 10 deal
out exact justice to both. Unti the
nineteenth century most governments
Were apt to be under the sway of one
class or the other, more generally the
rich. because the men who obta ned the
government and got their hands into the
public till and had the power to exact
tribute acquired the money. In the
immense communities of nations now q s.
aster is invited when the rich and the
government are synonymous. for resent
ment and Indignation at the se.fishness
of the rich is apt to turn into an at
tack on the nations life. l consider
therefore the policy you have identified
yourself with a boon for the country.
and those who are eager that We shall
deal properly with the diff rent ques-
tions that arise mus, congratulate them
selves that a man sound in fundamental
economic doctrine, who is not a socialist.

During my long stay abroad / have
come to a higher opinion of our rich men.

dictum that few large fortunes are made
honestly. But that will apply to Europe
and to ancient Rome as well as to our
own country. Dishonesty is not peculiar
to America but arises from defect in
human nature.
according to my judgment, our rich
men are the best rich men who have ever
lived in that when they acquire an enor-
nous amount of money they do not give
themselves up to life of calculated lux

Rome l read nothing but Roman history,

]ELECTlQNsA
THE SPOTS ON THE SUN.
They Point to the Inevitable Doom Of
the Whole World


The observatory on Mount Wilson,
California. and the electric laboratory
at the foot OF the mountain I'm Pasa-
dena, working together, have lately
succeeded in throwing very interest
Ing light on the nature and meaning
OF sun spots.
We may as well make up our minds
to reckon the sun spots In. on a very
generous scale. when we cast up the
chances OF the future for our planet
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
systematically devastate limited re-
gions of the earth's~ surface, but the
sun spots, with the exceeding slowness
and Inevitable sureness OF the mills OF
the gods. bring onward the doom OF
the whole world
This is apparent from the fact re-
vealed by experiments with the cleo
trio furnace that the peculIarities OF
the light emitted by sun spots are ex-
.plicable only by the lowered temper
allure Of the spots and from the further
fact that these same peculiarities exist

a variety Of reasons are believed to be
more advanced In age and cooler thar

that sun spots must he considered as
forerunners of the general loss Of the
suns power Of radiation. He Is vet
close to the noon point, probably lit
tie past it. and henceforth, as his aft
ernoon declines, sun spots will become
more and more numerous and greater
and greater In area, or else the cooling
process now manifested by their pres
ence will assume a more general form
affecting the whole Of the solar disk
And as this progresses the vivifyinG
heat will be withdrawn from the earth
with consequences which we can re
gard with academical equanimity only
because, measured by the span Of hui
man life they must be so remote.
A problem affecting the more imme
date future Is that of the manner II
which sun passes through the various
steps OF observation. 1t Is disquietint
to watch the behavior Of some OF thu
stars little more advanced than thu
sun in age.
We should hope that the sun will

Oddities of Diamond Imports,

1t Is somewhat remarkable fact
that the diamond trade Is limited to so
few American ports Of entry. AS COM
pared with New York's importa tons
of nearly So4 100000, Chicago imported
direct only Sl32. 5S3 worth in this class,
San Francisco slightly less, and the
only other port which showed figures
Of appreciable interest was Newport,
with $11,128. Similarly with uncut
and unset stones. which come in free,
New York's total OF over $4,000, 900
finds Boston and Baltimore pressing
close for second place with less than
$1,000 apiece. Philadelphia direct i'm
portations are only one-fourth of this
latter total and Chicago's only half of
Philadelphia The only other place
In the whole list OF ports Of entry
which reported uncut diamonds for
free entry was the little border town
Of Paso del Norte. Tex, which owned
up to S34 worth of stones on which
free entry was claimed because OF be-

The ENGLISH Channel Tunnel.

To run a grave national risk for the
sake Of protecting some thousands Of
tourists from the very transient dis
comforts of seasickness would indeed
be the climax Of dementia For through
goods traffic the tunnel might be Of
advantage to the continental farmer
and manufacturer. In view OF the
prohibitive foreign tariffs it would be
of little use to British trade. We can
not abandon British insularity because
some distinguished soldier has assert
ed that the channel tunnel could be
easily defended against 200 600 by If
ty. On military grounds a bridge across
the channel would be preferable from
every point Of view to tunnel under
the water. No coup de main could Sc
cure a bridge against the action of the
British navy. Modern engineering skill
is certainly equal to the construction
of such bridge.-lgnotus in National
Review.

The Golden Riddle.

NJ. Capel. an alchemist Of Pomet, In
France. who has long been trying to
manufacture gold, met with an unfOr-
tunate accident just when he believed
that he had solved the golden riddle.
He called his wife and three children
into his laboratory and showed them
what appeared to be nugget of gold.
He was explaining to them the process
he had used when he inadvertently
pushed basin containing some gun
powder too near lamp. A terrific ex-
plosion followed, blowing up the entire
laboratory and leaving 1t heap Of
ruins. NeighbOrs recovered the shat
tered bodies Of the alchemist, his wife
and three children. The wife was able
to speak, but died on her way to the

careIes. Elevator Operators.

A reckless habit Of many elevator
operators Is that OF neglecting to use
their control levers at the end of the
runs, depending upon the automatics
at top and bottom. The practice Is a
growing one and Is fraught with dan
ger, especially on the down runs and to
plunger machines on the up runs Oper-
ators have been observed frequently to
start an express car down and then en-
tirely let go Of the control lever. The
best automatic cutoff device is subject
to possible disarrangement by the slid
ing Of stops, jumping Of rope or other
slight mishap, and operators should be
disciplined into the proper use Of the
control at both end landings. r. p.

BROWN SUGAR AGAIN.
May Come Into Fashion Once More
Owing to the Pure Food Law.

What will the housewife say when
she asks her grocer for his best sugar
ana Is shown scoop Of the yellowish
brownish sweet such as her grand
mother used to buy? You can almost
hear her shrek of awe as she is told
that this Is the best sugar in the house.
You can imagine her surprise when
the grocer quotes the brown sugar to
her at 6ia cents a pound and the "old
fashioned white sugar at cents.
For brown sugar is now the proper
thing. Whoever does not know this IL
ignorant of the rulings on the food
law. The crystalline sugar we have
been eating is adulterated. All OF this
pretty white sugar. whether granulat-
ed. powdered or in loaves, has been
bleached by chemical process which
the Interpreters Of the food law have
seen fit to condemn.
1t Is learned that there is no such
thing as pure white sugar; that sugar
to he pure must be brown. The bleach
Ing process consists in submitting the
pure sugar to treatment Of mineral
bluing. BY this and other processes
great deal of the natural sweetness
is extracted from the sugar, and 1t is
often further adulterated by the addi-
ton Of insoluble substances, such az
marble dust
Confectioners have even made so
bold as to advertise marble dust for
the very purpose Of adulteration, and
1t is regrettable to say there was de-
mand that well repaid the advertiser
for his expense and his daring. 1t is
even claimed that sand is used in
white sugar for the purpose Of increas-
ing its weight and bulk
There is foreign substance, called
ultramarine, remaining in the process
Of manufacture which Is often added
to white sugar to give 1t the requisite
blue tinge. Whatever the result Of the
commissions permanent rulings, we
have been taught that white sugar is
impure, and brown sugar will come
into style again.-What to Eat

Care Of Rird CAGES,

To prevent insects from infesting
bird cages great cleanliness is neces-
sary. An occasional scrubbing with
household ammonia and water will
purify the cages wonderfully. But to
do this one must have another cage IN
which the bird may be kept till the
washed one lie dry again. 1t is good
plan to keep small bag OF powdered
sulphur hanging in the cage. This will
not harm the bird and will keep Oh
the vermin that are apt to he trouble
some In cages, even when one is care
full as regards cleanliness.
