This year the officials of New York
City who pass upon applications from
public service companies for right to
lay tracks pipes and wires through the
streets were puzzled by strange ap-
plicant, the Teleharmonium Company.
The teleharmonium sends music from
a central power-house, over wires, to a
receiver In the house of the "con-
sumer." There was no precedent for
regarding music as a public commodity

The gunboat Wolverine, which is said
to be the first iron ship ever construct
ed, was present at Put-in-Bay, on Lake
Erie, when the monument to Commo-
dore Perry was dedicated there on
August 9th. Since that ship was built,
iron has been used for bridges and
buildings, displacing stone and wood to
such an extent that iron-making has
become far greater industry than
numbering ever was.

Something suggestive to young

Something suggestive to young men
with artistic skill is to be found in the
recent decision Of the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, that owing to the
scarcity of the supply here photographic
artists may come from abroad under
contract. The photographic companies
have been unable to find skilled work
men enough at home, and have had to
Import them; and the demand for fine
photography is so great that much work
is sent abroad to be done by foreigners
on American paper and American
presses.

streets. A hundred years ago the cor.
responding officials of London, If there
were any, must have been even more
puzzled when the first gas company
asked permission to send the new light
Ing fluid under Pail Mall. The only
precedent for such action was water
condults, which had been laid under
cities since the days Of ancient Rome.
Before the nineteenth century gas had
been used for lighting private establish
ments, and early in the century one Of
the London theaters installed a gas
plant But the fluid was regarded as
dangerous and dirty-as, in fact, 1t
was at that stage in its development.
Not until 1914 were London streets
lighted by gas, nor until then did In
dividual consumers begin to use 1t ex-
tenslvely. The first successful Ameri-
can gas company began to operate In
Baltimore in 1919 Boston followed,
then Philadelphia and New York.
When the electric light became COM
merclally successful, many persons as
sumed that the newer method Of IL
Elimination would replace gas But
gas companies have not been driven
out. By the introduction of the mantle
burner, the gas range, heater, fiatiron
and other domestic conveniences and
mechanical appliances, and by the al
most universal reduction in price. gas
has more than held its own.
