Hot Air Makes Them Cool.

According to a writer in Harper's
Weekly, there is q great demand
throughout India, as well as in other
tropical countries, for some sort Of
fan that will distribute a great deal
Of cool air at a low cost Of production,
A German firm has recently intro
dueed In Bombay arortable fan which
Is operated at about o1e-ffth the cost
Dc electric fans. The fan is propelled
by a hot-air engine, the heat being
generated by a kerosene lamp which
holds about one quart of oil. sufficient
to keep it running for t~Wenty-four.
hours. To the lamp is attached q
small glass chimney which fits into a
larger metal chimney connected with
the engine. Upon the top Of the en-
CINE is hung the fan, similar in shape
and size 10 the ordinary electric fan,
whose speed is governed by the size
of the fame; that is, to reduce the
speed iAe fame is turned down, and
to increase it the fame is turned up.
The whole outfit weighs about thirty
pounds, and sits upon a small stand,
raising the level Of the fan proper to
that Of an ordinary desk. It is fitted
with handles, and can be easily moved
to any portion of the room or house
desired.

The Value of New Blood.

All that the New Englanders could
bring over from Great Britain was a
British standard, and if the American
standard now differs from the British
standard, this must be due, more or
less, to the pressure exerted in Amer
lea by a contribution other than Eng
lish. If We to-day prefer, as we do
undoubtedly, the existing American
standards and ideals and tendencies
to The British standards and ideals
and tendencies, we must recognize the
various foreign elements in the Uni
ted States as having eXerted an influ-
Il satisfactory to us row, however
mach car forefathers may once have
dreaded it. We must recognize that
the commingling of stocks which has
been going on here in the past has
been be nefcial-or at least that it's
results are acceptable to us at present.
And in all probability Il children
will admit also that the commirgling
that is going on in the present, and
which will go on in the future, is like
ly also TO be beneficial or at least &C
ceptable.-From Brander Matthews

Century.

Oyster Bay, n. Yin an official
statement, President Roosevelt an
nounced that the Atlantic fleet of six
teen vessels would sail for the Pacific
in December by the Straits OF Magel-
Ian, and that the time and route Of
return had not yet been decided.
The Presidents statement followed
q long conference at the. Oyster Bay.
GUNNER capital, to which Admiral
Evans was summoned by wireless
from the Connecticut, which was
cruising fifty miles off Chesapeake
Bay. Besides Admiral Evans and the
President, the conference was par
ticipated in by Acting Secretary Of
the Navy Newberry, and Rear-Ad-
miral Brownson, chief of the Bureau
of Navigation.
Here is the Presidents official
statement:
"The conference this afternoon be-
tween the President and the three
officers of the Navy was called to de-
eide details in connection with the
Atlantic fleet going to the Pacific.
The feet will consist Of sixteen battle
ships. 1t will start some time in De-
cember. The course of the feet will
be through the Straits of Magellan,
up the Pacific Coast to San Francisco.
The fleet will also, in all probability,
visit Puget Sound. The question Of
the route by which it will return to
the Atlantic has not yet been decided.
The destroyer iotilla will leave for
the Pacific about the same time as the
battleship fleet, but the destroyers
and torpedo boats will not accompany
the fleet"

The Rise of a Painter.

Only painters looked long at the
picture which Eugene Carriere exhib-
tied at the Salon Of 1877, and for a
dozen years afterward, while his por-
traits and his studies of children and
women steadily gained in distinctive
character, they puzzled and repealed
the unwary. Their merging varied
colors In a single tone, their Nssolv-
ing of sharp contours in smoke-hued
mist, suggested either i~nsincerity or
myopic vision. Yet little by little Car
riere impressed, first a few artists and
critics, then a part Of the public, then
even the ministry Of fine arts. In
1889 he was decorated, and in the
next year, when his paintings were
seen at the then new Salon du Champ
Mars, isolated in a single group, Car
riere began to be more widely under
stood. His fervid sincerity, reverber-
ating, as it were, from picture to pic
ture, destroyed all suspicion of pose,
and as his technique grew familiar,
the sculpturesque solidityo of his heads
and figures appeared through that
mist, in proof Of his genius of eye and
hand.-From Henry Copley Greene's
Eugene Carriere," in the Century.

PROSPERITY NOT HALTED
Chicago Bank Reports Remark
able Assurances of Good lines
Overwhelming Preponderance Of Evi-
dence is That the Business Situa-
ton is Sound and Satisfactory.

Chicago.-The conclusion: Of the
| seventh annual business statement
| compiled by the Commercial National
| Bank of Chicago from the reports of
10000 correspondents in all parts of
the country, just made public, is that
legitimate business interests through
| out the country are prosperous and
| sound; only the purely speculative
markets are feeling the effects OF
mon tension and stagnation. In
| part the report says:
"The overwhelming preponderance
| of evidence is that the business situ-
alton is sound and satisfactory. Not
one of the thousands of replies mega
| tives this conclusion in definite terms.
| That there has been a marked easing
| down from the tension of the spring
| and winter months of the year Is
| generally admitted, but it is admit
ted without a trace of regret or mis-
giving"
In regard to money, it goes on to
say:
few exceptions in the Far West, re-
port an extraordinary demand for
funds. in all lines of business activ-
| fly. Interest rates are firm every
where, and in the central reserve
and larger reserve cities the inquiry
for funds so much exceeds the supply
that money Is described as tight
The range Of our investigation justi-
fes the conclusion that bank deposits
show a straight average increase OF
14.2 per cent, against a similar aver
age increase Of 1913 per cent. in the
loans. The averages, weighed &C
cording to the relative magnitude OF
the totals, would probably show a
closer correspondence between the
growth OF deposits and loans"
The report continues:
Business is generally reported to
be good in volume, making an eXcep-
ton for the great hesitancy in the
metal market, especially in copper
and the alloy metals. Voluntary
concessions in the prices Of these
materials have made buyers wary
and they are generally waiting in the
hope of further forced declines.
The iron and steel industry is 60
ing ahead under the pressure of or
lers previously booked for fall de-
livery, but it is conceded that the
current inquiry is lighter, leading to
the shading of prices in pig and bill
lets-the basic articles Of the in
dusty. The feeling prevails, how
ever, that with a continuance of
activity, even on a somewhat lower
scale, the railways will be compelled
to buy steadily. In fact, the strength
Of the market for plates indicates
confidence in the tariff situation and
a steady increase in freight equi-
ment."
Referring to the crop situation, it
says: "Our replies on schedules
touching the crop financing opera
tions of the banks show that though
yields may be deficient in quantity
and quality those defects, in conjunc-
ton with an unabatiny consumption,
will require practically as large a
volume of funds as last year"

SETS FIRE TO HIDE MURDER.
Farmland Kills Woman Employer in
Fit Of Jealousy.

Trumbull, COMM a fit of jeal-
ousy, because he thought she was
going to marry another man, Lucas
Koplinsky, a farmland on the estate
of Aaron Mallett, at Tashua Hill, just
beyond Long Hill, shot and killed
Miss Lillian Mallett, and to hide his
crime set fire to the barn connected
with the house in which he had slain
the woman.
Miss Mallett, who was fifty-hve
years of age and wealthy, on the Sun
day before buried her father. She
was in the kitchen talking with Kop-
linsky, when suddenly, according to
his own statement, he took out a re-
volver and fired two shots at her,
both taking effect. -
He says ne heard Miss Mallett tell
another farmland that she would
marry him, and Koplinsky says this
enraged him. Koplinsky has a wife
and family in New Haven, with whom
he has not lived for ten years. He
has worked on the Mallett place for
seven years.
Mrs. Treadwell, the next door
neighbor, was at the Mallett farm at
the time of the shooting, although not
on the spot. She was then going to
find Miss Mallett when she heard the
reports of a revolver and saw Koplin-
sky come out Of the shed. She ran to
her W home and gave the alarm.
DR.. Seth Hill, another neighbor,
found the body of Miss Mallett and
started the chase after her murderer.
He did not make any resistance when
overtaken.

These marriages, though lawful in
the colonies, were void in England.
The whole country rejoices in the
passage Of the bill into law.
King Edward notified the Lords
that he thought the bill should pass,
and this had much to do with its go
ing through.
The passage Of the Deceased Wife's
Sisters bill ends a remarkable legis-
lative struggle, dating back to the
early history Of the church.
Previous to 1888 marriages of con-
sanguinity and affinity were wholly
covered by canon law and such mar
riages from 1888 to 1885 were void
able. In the latter year the Lynd-
hurst act made, past marriages of af-
fnity valid and future marriages
void. The House of Commons at first
rejected the prohibitory clause as re-
CARDS marriage with a deceased wife's
sister, but afterward accepted it.
A royal commission was appointed

in 1847 to examine the marriage
laws, and from 1S49 up to the present
attempts were made, both in the
House of Lords and the House OF
Commons, to pass the bill.
AS a rule the Commons have car.
ried the bill by a large majority, but
it has been thrown out by the Lords,
through the aggressive opposition OF
the bishops and a few ultra-ecclesias.
tical lay peers, although King Ed.
ward, when Prince Of Wales, set tbs
example of voting for it.
On August 20 last, after prolonged
and animated debate the House OF
Lords, by Ill to 10 votes, passed the
second reading of the Deceased Wife,
Sisters bill, the minority including
every one of the seventeen bishops
who are members of the House Of
Lords, and as the measure had pre-.
viously passed the House Of Com.
mons this session it nov becomes

A School Coinage.

1t is not a generally known fact
that the Bluecoat School (Christ Hos
pital) once possessed a coinage OF
it's own. At that time the coin Of
the realm could not be used at the
hospital. Before he could buy any
thing in the tuck shop" a new boy
had to get one Of the beadles, who
were the school money changers; to
change his shillings and pence into
"housey money" as it was called.
: This wasmade Of copper, the coins
being octagonal in shape, with their
value stamped on them. These cu-
rious coins are now very rare, and
numismatists possessing any are for
tunate.-From the Captain.

"Oficials and others have suggest
ed various schemes having for their
object the bringing of railroads, other
corporations and interests under the
exclusive control of the Federal Gov
eminent. To that end national incor-
poration has been proposed, as has
also a Federal license system.
The object which their advocates
have in view is undoubtedly laudable.
But that is not enough, if in the ex-
ecution Of their plans they violate the
Federal Constitution and directly
lead toward the destruction of our
dual government.
Every power with which it was
deemed necessary to endow the Ma
tional Government was given to it
and in the exercise Of these it was
made supreme. To prevent any pos
sible assertion by the National Gov
eminent OF inherent powers, those
assigned to it were carefully and ex-
pressly enumerated.
But to avoid even the possibility
of a contrary claim, the Constitution
was at once amended. by the addition
of ten articles-evsry one Of which
operated as a restraint upon the Ma
