Malvina turned the key in the school

possible finality. II the Jericho Corner

The call was to Malvina's mind, a
foregone conclusion; for how could
any people have Alpheus preach to
them without wishing to be preached
to by Alpheus for the rest of their
lives?

"Abram Pettee, stop abusing that

But Abrams blows fell with in

"Mebbe you think I'd ought to pick
him up and kerry him?" said Abram.

prosecuted and fined for abusing his

WARMING IN SHOE SOLE.
Lookout Man Wears Copper Plate to
Start Electric Buxxer.

Some Of the dives about town that
are under the ban Of the police have
ingenious contrivances for warning
occupants and patrons Of the ap-
proach of a "bulr' or any other sus-
pected person. BY the way, these
places are never referred to In the
vernacular as dives" or Joints" for
the vocabulary of the inventors of
slang changes as quickly as a word
comes into general use, 80 suspected
place is now always referred to as q
dump"
Warning of the approach OF police
man or detective is given by means Of
an electric buzxer. Formerly the push
button connected with the buzzer was
concealed under the edge of the bar
in front of or behind a water pipe
This device. however, was discovered
by the police, who thereafter on en-
tering suspected place kept close
watch on the barkeeper and gave him
no chance to press the button.
Then came the prong device. This
consisted of two small metal prongs
projecting from the edge of the wall.
When man suspected to be limb of
the law entered the door the barkeep-
or carelessly placed coin across the
two prongs, thus making a circuit and
causing the buzzer to sound in the
rear
This device was discovered, too. so
now a lookout is stationed outside the
door of a dive. He apparently is q
lounger, but he scans closely by
quick glance the face of every person
who enters. II a man doesn't look
aall right" the lookout presses his
foot, which has copper plate nailed
to the sole, to another small plate af-
fixed to the surface of cellar door
way outside. This makes the circuit
and causes the buzzer to get busy, SO
that by the time the bull" throws
open the door the occupants who are
wanted by the police have had time
to make their escape and those who
remain are seated at tables harmless
iy drinking beer or engaged in .
friendly game of pinochle or whist.
Everything Is apparently ION the
lever and the bull" is forced to
withdraw without having been able to
obtain any evidence.

BELIEVES IN SUN sPors.
\ Word About a Favorite Theory =
TO Short Crops.

In the bottom of its heart q good
part Of the financial community cher.
ishes the suspicion that financial
crises. especially when caused or ac-
companied by bad harvests, have
something to do with sun spots"
says the New York Post. The argu-
ment is that these years of intense
solar activity come somewhere near
once IL ten years and SO do panics:
that sun spots" very probably cause
abnormal seasons on our own planet
and tina. abnormal seasons cause crop
failures and trouble In the stock ex-
change. Nobody would need to take
this seriously but for the fact that, 80
years ago, very eminent English
economist frankly asserted his belief
In the theory. Prof. Jevons was so
confident of its applicability that in
1875 he predicted European panic in
1879, because the "sun-spot" activity
would then be again approaching q
maximum.
But how about the facts? The year
1897 was one of sun-spot maximum
and also a year of commercial panic.
Sun spots were very active in 1871,
1872 and 1873 and we know what hap
pened in the markets. In 1883 a vfo-
lent maximum was reached; Europe
had stock-exchange panic in 1882
and the United States one in 1884.
There was famous "sun-spot year"
in 1893 and, what is more to the point,
we are still in a period of solar activi-
ty and disordered markets.
So far, this il all very well; but let
US be thorough. The panic Of 1857
was one of the worst on the list, and
1857 came in period of sun-spot
minimum. In 1866, when one of the
worst of England's financial crises oc-
Cured, solar activity was at the low
est level in a decade. A period of
sun-spot minimum began in 1889 and
continued into the Barring year."
1890. Evidently sun spots do not al
ways have the same effect.
Prof. Jevons thought that the effect
was brought about through crop fall
ures. The astronomers tell US, how.
ever, that so far as there is any CORE
spondence, cold years. rains and in
undations appear to correspond to
those when the sun is quiet; dry and
warm years to epochs of great solar
activity" Now dry year may ruin
crops as well as cold year: but as
matter of record among panic years,
1857 produced an abundant European
harvest, 1873 yielded bumper crop"
In the United States. with 1872 good
second, and 1884 was year of un-
paralleled wheat production all over
the world. And what is to be said of
1879 and 1897, when the world raised
bumper crops" in the western hemi-
sphere and lost most of the harvest in
the eastern.

American Architecture.

American Architecture.
II architecture is frozen music"
American architecture has been .
F1edioy of Yankee Doodle" 1.-THE Ar
Kansas Traveller" and "ragtime." At
tAr the colonial period, which gave US
me specimens of public and private
buildings, there followed two genera
lions OF bad building, the result OF
sudden growth. Taste had little place
in country working night and day to
erect necessary shelter That America
r. advancing in AL the arts is to be
expected. The outlook for architec-
ture is especially hopeful. A commit
tee appointed by the American Insti-
tutes Of Architects has reported that,
ION the whole, architecture is being
taught in America with a broader
view, and in certain respects more ef-
fectively, than in any other country"
There are reasons why this good
teaching will count in practice, thinks
Youths Companion. The architect diff
fery from other artists in that his
practical studio is millions of dollars
worth of materials. That studio, the
means of developing the art, is afford
ed by the amount, diversity and cost
Illness OF American building. There is
q general improvement in taste and
increased respect for expert opinion.
Rich builders, individuals and corpora
tons, losing much of the arrogance
which money breeds toward all formp
OF service, show disposition to give
the architect free hand to work out
his ideas, and not merely produce as
hireling what the patron orders. We
may look in another generation not
only for great art in public buildings
and costly dwellings, but for the re-
action of great things on little, for the
disappearance of the salmon-pink
dwelling beneath the jig-sawn porch
Of which the American has erstwhile
been proud to SIT. Finally, since archi-
lecture, dependent on native materi-
al and landscape. is an indigenous art,
1t invites the architect, prominently
among artists, to create original, ma
tive types. The future may produce
buildings OF distinctively American
beauty.
