America Makes the Most Of the Falls,

1.-THE fippant remark Of the drum
mer from Philadelphia, that II there
we're any gnashing Of teeth in the
other world rs per cent. of the gnash-
ing would be done by artificial teeth
made in America, was not far from the
mark" So says H. d. Jones In an ar
ticle in the Technical World magazine.
America leads the world In the ar
tifcial tooth industry and Philadelphia
supplies large percentage Of the
total output. False teeth are shipped
from this country to the remote cor
ners of the earth. They are to be
found in the mouths of Japanese, Chi
nese, Hindoos, and even, 1t is very
likely, assisting In the mastlcation of
the daily rations of the Zulus of South
Africa. Indeed, 1t Is not beyond the
limit OF possibility that cannibal feasts
are conducted with the aid Of Ameri'
can-made artificial teeth.
"The largest plant in the world for
the making of artificial teeth is to be
found In Philadelphia. The industry
has grown to It's present mammoth
proportions within comparatively
short time, for the dentists Of old days
made. the teeth for his customers In
room adjoining the operating depart
ment. They were usually ill-fttins
and. being made from bone or ivory
would not stand the wear long. The
discovery Of way to make false teeth
by composition that was practically
indestructable marked the beginning
OF a new era in the ability of the hu
man family to repair the ravages O.

Female Doctors In Germany.

Professor Won Bergmann-the great
German surgeon who attended the EN-
peror Frederick during his last illness
and had such a frightful quarrel with
Morell Mackenzie--has been telling
the editor of medical journal that
II am decidedly against women enter
ing the profession" Briefly put, his
reason Is that 80 long as women are
unable to beat crooks and tailors at
the vocations which women are apt
to regard as their own specialties, SO
long will they be unable to compete
successfully with men doctors.
have too high regard for women to
encourage them to become doctors"

course outlined for him. It will show that he is as brave as he is believed to be honest. It is a characteristic of hls that people want to like him. There was never a more likeable man in the White House, nor one about whose welfare there has been such affection ate solicitude. If now he sees that it is his duty to let the lessons he has preached with such insistence sink in, while assuring the country at large by his attitude that he is ready to return to the attack if his confidence is abused, it will be but little while be- fore he finds himself once more a pop ular idol of the hour. In other words, it is because his reputation is hanging in the balance that the country ardent ly hopes he will exercise the self-re- strait which is so becoming in man of many resources and deep convic- tions. The press can perform no better service than to encourage his present attitude of mind.

PROGRESS BY PIGEON

There are several interesting things in Africa. Among them is the use of carrier pigeons to beat elephants. It has been found that elephants don't make good aids to the telegraph ser- vice in the French Congo. One or their favorite amusemcnts Is to pull up tel .egraph poles, and they humorousIy select for pulling up the poles which are hardest and most expensive to re- place So the French bethought thcn- selves that carrier pigeons would be able to carry messages faster than telegraph lines broken by elephants would, The Minister of War and the Colonies and the Paris Geographical Society are all interested in the ex- pertinent and have appropriated the funds necessary to establish four pigeon houses at a distance of 120 miles from one another, making iiiiS pl GOlilIiiuIilCullDtiS OOu InlleS long. One of these houses was buitat l3raz. zaville on the Upper Congo in 1906 and stocked with pigeons brought from France, The experiment has been so successful that 1t is now intended to introduce the service at a number of stations. It is found on the Congo that these pigeons, taken 120 miles from their home, will regain it in about two and half hours. Not a letter has been lost when sent in dupli- cate by two birds released at the same
 time. It is not intended to test them with flights of more than 12O miles,
 but 1t is expected that letter trans
 ferred from one station. to another
 will be carried about 500 or 700 miles
 in the daylight hours of one day.
 The pigeons will do for the Congo
 while "the wireless" and the airships
 are being perfected and cheapened.

MAY BE MOTIF ArrR 1 crrrr.

It has lately been uphill work to get recruits for Uncle Sam's army. Work has been plenty and wages good. A "despairing" man didn't have to turn to the army. He could turn to anotl CT job at better pay. If work is going to be less plenty and wages lower. as some folks says they are, the army may be more attractive than it has been. And perhaps the fact that the army seems likely to have better eat ing than it has had will have bear- ing on susceptible stomachs. Maior- General Adolphus w Greedy, of the department of the Columbia, an- nounces that he will use his influence with the War department at Wash ington to have the rations for the sol diers improved and made more uni- form, Soldiers are not as well fed as sailors. though, as General tireolv says' tnefe IS no good reason why the men in one department of the service should be better fed than the men in the other department In quality and in nutritive value the food now sup piled soldiers is about right. In quan- tity and variety however, there is much to be desired, and it is for this reason that the department Is being urged to alter in some fashion, the bill of fare at army posts.

The Red Cross.
lrhe Washington Herald.D

(The Washington HeTalu'J
 Few things illustrate better the diff faculties to be overcome before any universal agreement toward peace can be arrived at than the action taken by the conference at The Hague in regard to the Red Cross. When the matter came up for discussion in seeking to have a universal agreement that the Red Cross work should be safeguarded during war, the Chinese objected to the cross as the Red Cross emblem, be- cause it stands for religion with which the prevailing beliefs of the Chinese empire are wholly out of sym pathy The Western delegates then sought to assure their Chinese con- freres that the Red Cross device has rnothing to do with the Christian reli- gion-that it is, in fact, merely the coat-of-arms of the Swiss republic. The Chinese envoys half accepted this ex- planation, though they could not have been ignorant of the fact that since the days of Constantine the cross has been accepted by the Helvetians as an em- blen on their coat-of- arms peculiarly sacred to their religion. The Turks at The Hague conference were not to be blinded by any such sophistry,. and frankly declared that, as for them selves, they held to the teachings of the Prophet, and that the red crescent not the red cross, should float over their hospitals in time of war.

STILL IDPERy URBABLF.

Governor Woodruff was the guest
 the other evening of a church club in
 the city of Waterbury, and when call
 ed upon to speak he went right on saying the things which have SD fab
 bergasted the party machine. He not only told his hearers the kind of men they ought to elect to office, but he added that they had men in office to- day who ought not to be trusted with bower Time and time ngain, he said, 'it has been demonstrated in Tonnecti- cut that the people at large are with a good man, but the politicians do tv- erything in their power, to destroy his
 usefulness and drive him out of public life"
 If these words should be used to decorate the stage at the next Repub- lican State convention they would add | to the gaiety of the occasion When the fact of decapitating Governor Wood
 ruff is completed, as it bids fair now
 to be completed the people of the State would the better understand why and
 how 1t was done. In the meantime how lis the farce to be kept up of preserving
 party traditions if man who is, con stantly demonstrating his fitness for the office he occupies is to be prepared
 for his funeral? Plainly Governor Woodruff must be harnessed or the fat will all be in the fire. He is making il difficult for anyone else to run for the
 office he holds, not in a cunning way
 but by simply telling the truth.

NOT YET THE FIRST.

Britannia still rules the wave, and seems likely to continue to rule it. An interesting statement showing the
 relative order of the warship tonnage
 of the principal naval powers has
 been compiled at the office of naval in- ltelligence, which is intended as an an- swer to frequent inquiries of societies
 and persons throughout the country who have manifested an interest in the maintenance of the navy and it's relative strength and importance The
 statement shows that, according to the tonnage of to-day, Great Britain leads
 the world, with tonnage of 1,633,116,
 the United States following, with a tonnage of 611,616; France third, with
 tonnage of 6O9,O79; Germany fourth, with a tonnage of 52O,O32; Japan
 next, with a tonnage of S74,7O1, and
 Russia, Italy and Austria following in the order named. However, were the

A WASHINGTON WANT.

The great doings in Rio de Janeiro naturally appeal to the Washington
 Herald, which wants to see what it is | fond of calling Wonderful Washing ton made even more wonderful than
 Rio de Janeiro has been. In the short space of three years the Brazilian
 city has had $S5, 5,0oO,O 900 spent in beau ltifying 1t, one of the principal pro- Iects being the construction of a new avenue across the city. A plan of boulevards or driveways has also been linaugurated, and hundreds of houses have been torn down for the widening of more than twenty miles of streets.
 Miles and miles of stone pavements | and stone curbing have been laid, im- proved sewerage and water service provided, and "the entire city given an open, sunny, sanitary life" Which moves the Washington Herald to re- mark: In Brazil there seems to be a national pride in the glory and pros-
 perity of the capital city In Mexico the same sentiment exists, for the City of Mexico is developed by the federal government without regard to the amount of revenues from local taxa ton. What is needed in this country is greater interest in the progress and Identification of Washington. The people of the District of Columbia do not ask to be treated as paupers or de- pendents, They are ready and willing and able to pay their full share of municipal expenses, and, indeed, have borne ungrudglngly all the burdens of taxation which Congress has seen fit to place upon them.

Boston's total debt is $10S,950,456, and New York's annual expenses are about $145,OOO,OOO.
 Big figures, but they are big cities, and everybody has been thinking, talking and acting in big figures lately. If the breakdown impresses cities and individuals with the fact that there is a limit to spending and having it will be useful Of course this Is a rich country, and it is plain to see, even in this comparatively poor time, that it is going to be richer. But there has been too much mortgaging of the fu- ture by municipalities It is easy and comforting to spend money for pos terity," but if we don't look out pos terity will wish we had had more sense and more prudence.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The cron. and Good Times.
fTha Toneka (Kan) Capital. ]

(The Topeka (Kan.) Capital')
 This year Is the tenth successive year of crops above an average. The agricultural output was less in 1907 than in 1906, but at present prices the crops will realize more money this year than last. What If the crops now be- gin to decline for a period of years? In that case the prosperity era will cer- tainly Joe over for the present, and the looked-for depression will occur. But suppose next years crops are as great as fast or this year? The liquidation that has occurred, the check to specu- lation. the release of capital for legiti,, mate business uses, all these things Will tend to keep prosperity going at as good a rate as ever. The crops are ap- parently to cut the chief figure in de- terminng whether the good times are at an end. The currency is sound as it was not in 1873 or 1893. Wealth has enormously increased and no one sec- ton is a debtor to another in the sense in which this was true until recently. The natural resources of the country are scarcely scratched over. The fin- ancial experts do not report anything fundamentally unsound about present prosperity, except the wild gambling mania, which has been "stung.' So, If the crops are great. prosperous times will go on. This is probably as good a guess as any, and will turn out so'
