THE PICTURES.

My little son, with puzzled, questioning
eyes,
Brought pictures for my wisdom to
make plain,
And slowly voiced his need in childish
wise,
Asking the meaning he had sought in
vain.
And some, by symbol. and by holy sign,
l could translate, and set his face
aglow;
But there were others l could not de-
1 knew the meanings, but he could not
know.
My little son fares forth to realms OF
sleep,
While l sometimes unto the depths of
night
See pictures of Gods children sinking
deep
Beyond mems love-beyond their Faith
er's sight
But still hope that where my faltering
mind
Is filled with pity and with dull de-
spair,
God reads the meaning with a purpose
kind,
And does not cease to know, and love,
and care.

THE AMBER OF sANTo DOMINGO
Found in Considerable Quantities
Conditions Under Which 1t Occurs.

Found in Considerable Quantities-
Conditions Under Which 1t Occurs.
1t is an interesting fact that Santo
Domingo Is one of the few places in
the world where amber occurs in any
considerable quantities. AS Is we'll
known, the bulk of the supply used in
the arts comes from the neighmorhood
OF Konigsberg, on the Baltic seacoast.
There it occurs in the lower oligo-
Gene, and appears to have been depos-
tied originally in glauconitic beds of
ciayey nature, which was afterward
eroded by wave action and the amber
distributed, though much of it IS taken
from beds in which it was originally
entombed
Amber is simply fossilized rosin, de-
rived apparently from certain confer
Gus trees. The conditions under which
it occurs in Santo Domingo do not ap-
pear to differ substantially from those
OF the Baltic seacoast.
1t is found near Santiago City, asso-
ciated with Ignite. sandstones and con
glomerates. These beds probably be-
long to the oligocene formation and are
found containing amber at a number Of
places on the north coast, as well as on
both tanks of the Monte Cristi range.
1t also frequently occurs in the streams
flowing through these beds.
The amber is usually Ia ovate Jumps,
ranging from the size of yea to a
mans fist, often fattened, dull on the
exterior, being covered with a kind OF
brownish crust. None of these depos-
its has been studied scientifically. al
though several abortive attempts have
been made to operate them for CONNER
cial purposes Magazine.

DEATH FOR KIDNAPERs.
Capital Punishment May Be rro
vided by Federal Laws.

Capital Punishment May BE rro-
vided by Federal Laws.
Himself father and an advocate of
the rights Of the home to the fullest
measure Of protection from the govern
ment it is said that the President will
make kidnapping the subject of special
appeal in his next message to Congress.
Many members of the national legisla-
tive body believe that the stealing of
children to hold them for purpose of
ransom ought to be elevated to the rating
of capital crime. punishable by death.
Whether President Roosevelt will go that
far II his recommendations is known only
oy himself. but that he will speak Tor
some adequate action is a certainty.
The police authorities favor such
law They say that the kidnaper is the
hardest of I'll criminals to apprehend.
The man who steals child and keeps it
near him ever has power which holds
the authorities at his mercy. The instant
they make a threatening move or seem
to be closing in on the quarry, the kid
naper has only to drop letter in any
mail box informing the police that un-
less they draw off he will kill the child.
Then pursuit is paralyzed.
Stringent laws against kidnapping are
more needed in the United States than
anywhere else. In England and the coun-
tries of Europe the child whose parents
have money enough to make it worth
while to kidnap him is guarded like a
dollhouse plant, and there is little or no
opportunity to get him. The exact re-
verse is true here Under present con-
ditions the risk ofttimes seems worth
while to a desperate man craHed for
cash. If, as many lawmakers desire, kid
mapping be advanced 10 the place of a
capital crime, with the gallows or cleo
trical chair as certain punishment, it
would take a hardy criminal indeed to
run the risk. The comparative ease with
which murderers escape execution would
not apply to kidnaper. The American
may have charity in good many in
stances and perhaps make more allow
ances than he should, but the American
father who sat in judgment on guilty
kidnaper would certainly find no mercy
in his makeup when it comes to passing
on the proper degree of punishment.

Somewhat like returning to first prin-
ciples and methods which had apparent

the import of an article by Andrew
Swickard which recently appeared in the
California Journal of Technology, regard
ing the use of wooden pipes for convey

en- pipes has been greatly extended in
recent years, a number of long lines hav-
ing been built in the East, where it has
found favor with the engineers, and that
in America it is in use from Alaska to
Peru. It's employment is, of course, sub
ject to some limitations, especially where
it is necessary to withstand very high
pressure. The sipe now used is not made
like that of long ago, from bored logs,
the modern wooden pipe being built from
slaves fastened together with metal clips.
In favor of wood it is urged that the in
terror Of the pipe does not deteriorate as
where iron is used, and thu it is from 80
to so per cent cheaper than riyeted steel.

No mistress of the White House-not
