ROOT To MEET
PRES. DIAz
Friendly Relations Between
the Two Republics Will
Be Served

WASHINGTON, July 12.-It is the
hope of the administration to accom-
plish two objects through the coming
visit of Secretary Root to President
DiaZ of Mexico. The acquisition by
the United States of Magdalena bay
is, perhaps, the chief purpose, and the
other is the adoption Of a plan for the
consolidation of the troublesome Gen.
trail American republic into a fedora
ton whose affairs may be managed
with less of riotings and wars than
have marked their existence in the
past.
Secretary Root has reason to believe
that both of these purposes may be
achieved. The Mexican government
has indicated its friendliness toward
the proposition to dispose of Mag
dalena bay to the United States. The
adjustment of the relations Of the Gen.
trail American states so as to remove
causes Of friction and serious disturb
ances is a movement with which the
United States is in sympathy.
"HcH IEeSluSHL DAdZ liNllcu oSSLC~
tary Root to visit him q couple OF
weeks ago, it is probable that he had
this project in mind. 1t Is believed
that the United States would welcome
an arrangement in Central America
that would lessen the necessity for our
bluejackets performing police duty
there. OF course, President Diaz hopes
to have a large say in the regulation
of the troublesome republics, but the
Washington authorities will see to 1t
that he is not given too much sway
over them.
The proposed purchase of Magalena
bay by the United States has greatly
pleased naval officers. It's acquisition,
1t is conceded on every hand, will i'm
measurably strenthen our position on
the Pacific. It Is the intention Of the
department to make 1t coal supply
center for vessels operating in both
the upper and the lower Pacific.
The absence Of fresh water and
proper land facilities will always limit
it's usefulness as a naval station, how
ever. The chief purpose for which 1t Is
desired Is to AFFORD a suitable base for
the fleet in territory where we now
do not own q foot of land for storing
coal.

Hammer Oldest Implement.

The hammer, besides being a tool
of universal use, is probably the old:
est representative of a mechanics 8
tool kit. The hammer was originally
a stone fastened to a handle with
thongs, and, it was as useful as a
weapon as a tool.
Hammers are represented On the
monuments Of Egypt twenty centuries
before our era. They greatly resem-
BILE the hammer now in use, save that
there were no claws on the back for
the extraction of nails. Claw ham
mers were invented some time during
the Middle Ages. Illuminated manu-
scripts of the eleventh century repre-
sent carpenters with claw hammers.
Hammers are of all sizes, from the
dainty instruments used by the jewel.
Ter, which weigh less than half an
ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton ham
mer of shipbuilding establishments,
some OF which have a falling force of
from ninety to 100 tons. Every trade
has it's own hammer and its own way
of using it.-Baltimore Sun.

The Stunts of the Agile Log.Man.

Skill of an individual sort is pre-

manship with a cowboy. Without it
a man is absolutely useless. And
just as cowboy likes to show off or
compete in a kind of horsemanshlp
which can have no practical applica-
ton to his trade, so does the river
man do his tricks. A man in Mari
nette, whose name l have forgotten,
could turn somersault on log;
innumerable others like to lie down
at length while floating with the
current; Jack Boyd could "up-end"
railroad tie without falling into the
water; and it is very cold water in
deed that can scare off an occasional
birling match.-From Jack Boyd:

GAS.
It's Lighting Property Was Discovered
-. |, Genfchnoan

It's Lighting Property Was Discovered
by a seotchman.
Soon after Argand invented his
lamp, William Murdock, Scottish in.
ventor, showed the world a new way
OF lighting a house. It had long been
known that fat or coal, when heated,
gives off a vapor or gas which burns
with a bright light. Indeed, 1t is al
ways a gas that burns and not hard
substance. In the candle or In the
lamp the fame heats the oil which
comes up to it through the wick and
thus causes the oil to give of a gas.
It is this gas that burns and gives the
light. Now, Murdoch, in 1898, put
this principle to a good use. He heat
ed coal in a large vessel, and allowed
the gas which was driven of to pass
through mains and tubes to different
parts of his house. Whenever he
wanted light he let the gas escape
at the end Of the tube in small Jet
and lighted it. Here was a lamp
without a wick. Murdock soon ex-
tended his gas pipes to his factories
and lighted them with gas. AS soon
as it was learned how to make gas
;cheaply, and conduct it safely from
house to house, while cities were res
cued from darkness by the new Il
luminant.- st. Nicholas.

TIE PATH OF AN INTERVIEWER.
Cosmopolitan Virtues and Gifts of
Versatility Along Its Course.

The newspapers of Boston are not
the same as those Of New York; there
is greater difference between those
of Chicago and New Orleans; and
what is t'frst-page story in Phila-
delphia would be moved farther back
in San Francisco to make room for
another sort Of sensation suited to
the peculiar taste of its readers. But
the subtle distinctions do not perplex
the resourceful newspaper reporter.
He comes from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Coast and in a week his
~stuf' is true in tone to the paper
{ that has engaged him. He goes to
the East from what is called the
I {t'unccnventionap' West, and in a
month his work is in no wise to be
distinguished from that Of men who
have begun and continued in the
service of New York. dailies. For
proof, any important newspaper may
be considered. In five years it prob
ably has had scores of reporters, may
hayA had two or three different city
editors, and perhaps as many man
aging editors, yet the tone of the
paper from first page to last is un-
changed. In fact, that distinct, in
dividual favor often persists in spite
Of efforts to change it. 1t would be
easy to name score of papers in the
country that are identical in dominat-
ing characteristics and tone with
their issues Of earlier years, in spite
OF the fact that their owners and the
entire staff upon them have changed
more than once.
The true cosmopolitan is the news
paper reporter. 1t is easy enough to
appear content in. any quarter of the
globe, and in Rome to live as the
Romans do, but the reporter does
more He is Norwegian and Italian,
proletarian and palace-wise, Repub-
hcan and Democrat, several times
each day, and the narrow provincial
ism of the metropolis is as much his
as the freedom and the long per-
spective of the mining camp. 1t is
versatility, more Of temperament
than of talent, that distinguishes him.
The citizen of the world, with a nose
for news, a supernatural ingenuity
in obtaining it, a pretty knack
2 Of description, and the ability to be
always in the mood for work, might
make an average reporter. The
good reporters who become editors
have additional faculties, not accu-
mulated, but indigenous,-San Fran
