SAYS AGE is sHoDDY.
Architect Complains That Work Done
in the Present Day Is Inferior to
That Of Past Centuries.

I'VE are losing all our secrets in
this shoddy age" an architect said.
If we keep on the time will come
when we'll be able to do nothing
well.
Take, for instance, steel. We
claim to make good steel, yet the
blades the Saracens turned out hun
dreds of years ago would cut one OF
our own blades in two like butter.
Take ink. Our modern ink fades
in five or ten years to rust color, yet
the ink of medieval manuscripts is
as black and bright today as it was
700 years ago.
Take dyes. The beautiful blues
and reds and green's of antique ori-
entail rugs have ali been lost, while
In Egyptian tombs we find fabrics
dyed thousands of years ago that re-
main today bright and purer in hue
than any of our modern fabrics.
Take my specially, buildings. We
can't build as the ancients did. The
secret of their mortar and cement is
lost to us. Their mortar and cement
were actually harder and more durable
than the stones they bound together
whereas our-horrors,
I'VE can't make artificial diamonds
now. Old brilliants of French paste
were so beautiful that they could hard
ly be told from real brilliants by ex-
perts. But the secret of this French
paste, like hundred other secrets OF
the days of conscientious work, is ir-
retrievably lost"

HOW TRAINS ARE "HELD UP"
Wild Animals and Insects as Well az
Men. Dod the Work.

The achievements of those robbers
and desperadoes who hold up" or
wreck railway trains are occasionally
2aralleled by wild animals.
In Siberia, for instance. 1t has hap
pened on at least one occasion that
bear has jumped on to the locomo-
tive of a train and attacked the driver
and guard. In one case Of this kind,
bruin met with so vigorous a rebuff
that he fell back on to the line and
was caught by the wheels, with fatal
results.
In Canada 1t has more than once
been found that the passage Of train
has been disputed by moose deer.
The moose always got the worst OF
the encounter.
Ostriches often cause a stoppage OF
trains in South Africa. They stick
their heads in the sand ballasting OF
the tracks, and as they are too valu
able to KILL the train is stopped till
the farm from which they may have
escaped.
Even insects may bring trains to a
standstill. The white ant, or termite
accomplishes this feat by destroying
the sleepers on which the rails rest.
That fish should interfere with
trains would seem impossible, but
they do so in India by being sucked
into the apparatus for watering loco
motives at country stations. And once
railway trolley car passing through
flooded country was stopped, large
fish becoming jammed in one of the
wheels.
Even weeds may hold up a train
as in Ecuador. where the vegetation
along the track grows so rapidly that
II 1t were not regularly kept down
traffic would be impossible.-Ex

BUILDING FOR SALVATION ARMY

Editor Herald: To properly appreci-
ate the work Of the Salvation Army
one has only to observe for himself.
Realizing that only those who are SO
inclined ever go into churches to hear
the gospel. or take advantage of the
ordinary means of grace" they have
adopted extraordinary means In carry
Ing the gospel in song, prayer and
testimony to those whom they meet
upon the streets. and into the darkest
corners of the city. For some eight
or nine years they have been work
ing in Durango, and In that time,
that they have accomplished much
good no one can deny. Nor can we de-
preciate the fact that they are nobly
striving to help us in making better
citizens, thus building up our little
city.
They have been handicapped to a
large extent in having no permanent
hall. having to pay out large sums of
money for rents. At present they are
worshiping In the hall owned by Mr..
Degenhardt. at 1139 Main avenue. Mr..
Degenhardt has offered to sell them
this building at reasonable price,
and we who are grateful to the Sal
walton Army for doing the work that
many Of us either could not do or
were ashamed to do, let us rally to
the support OF these noble young Off.
GERS here, and help them to purchase
this building. If Grand Junction can
give $4,000 for Y. NJ. C. A. building
in that city, we of Durango can give
one-tenth as much toward a Salvation
Army hall. WELL WISHER.

DISCUSSING THE INCOME TAX.

When an income tax is proposed In
this country a very practical objection
looms up in a supreme court decision.
Congress accepted the principle In
1894. as 1t had done prior to that
time, and provided for the tax in a
customs law. Subsequently the court
knocked 1t out, and income tax ar
guments should begin with discus
sion of the possibility OF a constitu-
tional amendment to overcome the
courts decision or OF the possibility
OF reversal of the court by changes
in its membership. Probably the lat
ter means OF securing the desired end.
II the income tax is desired, would
be entirely feasible, for the court d.
vided hve to four and with men fresh
from the people and the popular drift
strongly toward the tax reasons
enough could be found for holding the
tax valid.
Granted, then, that 1t might be de-
clared valid under such circumstances
We may recur to the question OF pub
lie sentiment Since the debate was
started over swollen fortunes, the sub
ject has certainly taken on fresh in
terest and 1t would seem that the de-
mand for the tax had become both
more general and more insistent. The
opposition. however. Is still very pow
ri, 81 avA ptrf
buttons relating to the tax which ap-
peared in The Record-Herald's Sunday
Magazine for March II, only one, from
Senator Tillman, was enthusiastically
In the affirmative. Mr.. A. r. e. Sc
ligman found the problem bristling
with difficulties that would require
much study. Andrew Carnegie called
the tax the most pernicious of all
taxes, said 1t demoralized a nation and
that Mr.. Gladstone had advocated its
abolition In Britain, declaring that 1t
Clapp developed an argument for the
purpose OF proving that the tax was
impracticable
We may assume, however, that II
its constitutionality can be established
1t might be applied here as 1t is else
where, and though 1t may not be de-
sirable something more than the old
stock objections will be required to
demonstrate its utter worthlessness.
Despite what Mr.. Gladstone said, he
levied an income tax, and Britain is
doing the same thing today and finding
1t very profitable source of revenue.
BY levying at the source some of the
moral dangers are reduced If they Sc
riously trouble the national conscience
of critics. OF abolition in Britain we
hear nothing now, while across the
channel France has Just taken up with
an income tax scheme which provides
for graduated tax and tax that
distinguishes as to the source of the
income, bearing more heavily upon
the incomes from land than upon
those derived from commercial en-
| terprise, the professions and salaries.
If the United States goes into the
question again its people should con-
slider 1t, as Mr.. Seligman indicates,
In all Its aspects and note particular
ly the developments in other coun-
tries.-Record-H Herald.

The Russian war frigate Olaf, prior
to the outbreak OF the war with ia
pan. which had accompanied the yacht
of the czarowitz to Copenhagen, was
lying at anchor among hundreds OF
other ships in the harbor, when a
fire was discovered in a coal cellar
below, which was only few feet
from the powder magazine. There
was no time to put out the fire before
1t could reach the magazine and an
explosion of the large stores of car
tridges and gunpowder contained In
II probably would have destroyed not
only the Olaf and the surrounding
ships, but part Of Copenhagen itself.
Captain Rehbinder. the commander
Of the Olaf, saw at once that the
only thing to done to prevent a ca
tastrophe was to sink the ship. After
sending away the crew. with the ships
papers, cash boxes. and most valuable
instruments In boats, he ordered the
carpenters and engineers to make a
leak in the vessel, and half an hour
afterward she sank In shallow water.
Next day she was raised again and
sent off for repairs.
The court martial unanimously ex-
pressed the highest praise OF the con-
duct Of the captain and his subordi-
mates. The emperor appointed him his
aide ds-camp, which il one OF the
higt sst honors conferred on Russian
naval officers. and the officers and
men received gratuities from the en-
perors privy purse.

Tonnage Tax Sounds Good to GRANGER.

An advance guard of range repre-
sentatives comprising County Com
missioners McInnis, Kauppi, Sun
deem and fischer, Superintendent
of Schools Newberry of Ely, Mayor
Jesmore and P. E. Downing Of Eve
leth were St. Paul visitors the first
of the week, trying out the legisla-
tors on their position in the impend.
ing tonnage tax measure.
But their report, as do all other
reports emanating from the state
capitol, bears no ray of hope to the
iron ranges. The phrase tonnage
tax and the prospect of getting
something for nothing sounds and
looks good to the granger, and. the
members of the Legislature from
the farm sections will hardly dare
thwart the desires of their constit-
uents unless they are men who5put
principle above their job-and such
men are scarce in American poll
tics, in the entire gamut from
poundmaster to president.
1t is therefore probable that the
tonnage tax in some form will re-.
ceiye bounteous support from the
southern Minnesota politicians and
that strenuous fight is the only
hope for the defeat of measure
destined to work untold harm to
the schools and communities of the
iron ranges.
