The present period is distinguished
for two things-prosperity and discon-
tent. Despite many glaring inequali-
ties or inequities in the distribution of
it's results great prosperity has pre-
vailed in the United States for eight
or nine years, and there are no visible
signs of its interruption. Yet it Is a
matter Of common remark that only i'll
few trying times of great industrial
depression, when millions of working
people were deprived of opportunities
to earn a living, has there been so much
discomfort as is seen and heard and
felt in these times of amazing prosper
| ty. Never before were attacks on the
great trusts made with such determine
ton and effect. Never before were the
people 80 united and so jealous in war
fare upon political graft in all sections.
The discomfort of the period is not
mere grumbling. 1t is enlightened de-
sire for better conditions. Such dis
content is the parent Of all progress
If the American people were more con-
lCAL VIII LUZ StOAAuNA SAASJ
be less energetic and progressive. To
an individual, tribe, or a people who
are contented, who have all they de-
sire, progress is impossible. But for
those whose ideals are higher than any
present attainment, the longing for bet
ter things, who have shown up here
and there in all the ages and who have
become more numerous and more in
sistent as one after another their aims
and longings have been gratified, the
progress of the human family would
never have advanced beyond naked bar
barism. We are a discontinued people
there's no denying it, and no reason
for trying to deny it. Because we are
disconnected we hustle and get there"
The discomfort is not at all due to the
prosperity, but the prosperity IS very
largely due to the discomfort. We have
not reached perfection yet, and the fact
that we know it and kick about it is
the best possible assurance that affairs
will steadily grow better.

Herculaneum, the rich and splendid
city that was buried, along with Pom
peii and Stabia, by the eruption of
Vesuvius in A. D. 70, is to be dug from
the mass of tufa which covered it, and
it's buildings are to be disclosed to
view Professor Waldstein of Cam
bridge University has induced the Ital-
ian government to consent to the work,
on condition that it be officially direct
ed by Italians, and that the assistance
Of foreigners, financially and otherwise,
shall be unofficial. Should the enter
prise be carried out, we shall soon have
much light thrown on the manner of
life Of the Romans of the first cen
fury. Herculaneum, far more than
Pompeii, was the residence of wealthy
and cultivated citizens. Their houses
were filled with artistic objects and
their Libraries contained the best liter
ature of the period. In a partial eXca-
walton nearly two thousand manuscript
rolls were found in one house. Pom
peii was covered with small stones and
soft ashes from the volcano. Hercu-
laneum was buried beneath a torrent of
mud to the depth of from thirty to a
hundred and twenty feet. On top of it
two large modern villages have been
built. General excavation has not been
undertaken, lest the stability Of the vii
lagos should be threatened. Plans now
making provide for tearing down these
villages, so far as necessary, to get at
the city beneath. In the comparatively
near future we may expect to hear re-
ports Of the uncovering of fine bronze
and marble statuary, Of beautiful man
sions, of libraries filled with ancient
books, some of them for centuries
known by tradition only. In short, 1t
will be as if we We're taken back more
than eighteen hundred years, and were
able to leok upon the city as it's inhab-
itants suddenly left it when Vesuvius
poured forth the food of mud, molten
rock and scalding water upon the towns
Of it's seward slope.

Historic Ship House Sold.

The historic Ship house and a part
of the Johnson homestead on German
town avenue north of Washington lane
have been sold to James j. Allen, a
builder. Workmen will start to raZe
the once famous hostelry, which has
stood for more than a century. Mr..
Allen will preserve the old stone cary
ing of a ship which was built in the
gable end of the house and gave the
place it's name. This will be presented
TO one of the historical societies.
These properties bear marks of bull
lets fired during the revo tionary war,
the battle of Germantown having been
fought there. The Johnson homestead
has been in the family possession since
the time of William Penn, from whom
they hold the original grant. The Ship
house has seen many changes Of own
ership. One of the earliest owners was
Captain Darien, an old skipper, who
nlaced the carving Of the ship in posi-
ton. When Captain Darien died the
heirs sold the place to Jacob Peters,
who conducted u line of stage coaches
and made this a stopping place. When
Peters died the place was sold to JAS
Ford. who opened a private school
there. He died and the heirs contem-
plated selling it for use as an insane
asylum. The Bockius family owned
the adjoining property and objected, so
were compelled to buy the place. 1t
was again turned into hotel and re-
manned so until the elder Bockius was
killed by horse about sixty years ago.
Mr.. Allen will build sixty-eight
houses on the philadelphia Led.

Reports from places which used vot-
ing machines in the recent State cleo
tons show the superiority of the ma
chine over the Iead-pencil-and-b ballot
method. In no place where the ma
chimes were used were returns later
than one-half hour after the closing of
the polls. In most places where the
old-fashioned way of voting prevailed
there was seldom complete and accu-
rate return within twenty-four hours.
Machines are now in use in more than
900 cities, towns and villages in the
United States. Buffalo, Syracuse. San

Soft Coal Smoke Sends Down

scientific investigator in Cincinna-
tt has been trying to arrive at definite
idea of the amount of SCOT deposited in
the city in the course Of year. One
Of his tests was to place buckets, three
fourths filed with water on eleven roofs
In different parts Of the city. At the
end Of three months a careful analysis
was made of the contents Of the buck
cts to ascertain the amount of carbon
aceous matter.
The final computation is that in the
downtown area the falling SCOT amounts
to 541 tons a month, or eighteen tons
daily. On a square mile of the city the
SCOT deposit is III tons month, or
343, 728 pounds, an average of several
pounds to each inhabitant. In one of
the suburbs the SCOT in the bucket was
464 grains to the square foot for
period Of thirty days. For the same
time the deposit at a central point in
the city was 22,550 grams to the souare
