Where Titles Are Cheap.

The cheapest country for buying a title used to be Portugal. says London Truth. When man is made a baron or a count there, his patent recites the service for which the grant Is made. I was once in Portugal, and I had some curiosity to discover what were the services for which an Eng lishmen of my acquaintance had been made a Portugal baron. therefore looked the matter up. and I found that it was for having introduced into the country a new tree. There used to be another plan for becoming a baron. It appears that there is-or was then-a convent which once had large possessions. All its tenants were. by the fact of being tenants, barons. But the convent had lost it's possessions with the exception of one farm. It had an agent in London. For very moderate consideration the agent let this farm to a would-be ten ant. He therefore became a baron: and when he resigned the farm to the next applicant he retained the title.

During conference at Washington recently, Marvin Hughitt, the con- missioner of labor and several of the cabinet members were talking on the general railroad situation. He re- viewed the case disclosed by the liar riman-Alton investigation where it was shown that the road had simply been ripped open and footed like bank vault. He said that while this possibly was beyond the present reach of the penal code. it was morally as close to grand larceny as one could come and keep out of jail. He in- stanced a number of other cases of high financial juggling that while possibly not indictable were ethical ly as vicious as could be. In conelu- sion he said: If the law as it stands cannot touch the men who do this sort of thing, then the laws will have to be amended so that they can be reached. There is no difference to my mind between the man who dis honestly acquires a million dollars and the man who outright steals a hundred. Society is waking up to the fact that the two performances are on exactly the same footing and society will see 10 it that not only is the high financial highwayman ostracised but that the laws are framed so that he can be convicted and given jail sentence" Of course this official was not talking for publi- cation. at least not for quotation by name. But he was a man who had just come from conference with the president on the particular subject under discussion. and it seemed natural inference that the views he expressed coincided in a general way with those of his chief. If this is the case. it' means sISlply what the president has said before. that honest railroads or honest corporations of any other sort have nothing to fear from the administration. but that the railroads must be run honestly as real public service corporations. and if more laws are needed to have them so run. the laws will be enacted. Looks rather as though there might be more railroad legislation at the next session.

DAMAGE DONE BY WOLVES.
Ranehmen Suffer Heavily From Dep.
 relations of Animals.

Vernon Bailey, of the forest reserve bureau at Washington, who has been making an investigation of the rav- ages of wolves on the ranches of the southwest. reports that in a certain part of New Mexico he learned that moderate estimate of the stock killed by four wolves of ~nich he got trace was a yearling GOV or a calf every three days. or approximately 100 head of cattle to each wolf. Counting all as calves" says Mir. Bailey, at the low rate of S10 a head. each wolf would at this rate cost the ranchmen q 900 year. This estimate of s4.000 for the four wolves leaves out of con sideration the five to ten hungry off- spring of each pair, which begin to kill stock for themselves in the fall and continue to do so as long as they live"

That reinforced concrete construc- tion is too much of an experiment at the present time to warrant its use as a building material where fireproof structure is required is the conclusion reached by the board of education of Philadelphia. after an exhaustive in- vestigation into what constitutes the best type of structure for fireproof schools. The property committee be- gan its investigation under the inn pression that reinforced concrete buildings could be erected at slight increase in cost over frame structures. The appropriation funds have never been sufficient. During the last year, however, J. Horace Cook, city archi- tect. has awarded contracts for small school-houses which are now being built in standard steel-frame con- struction with hollow tile floors and partitions. Almost without excep- tion, the leading architects of the city consulted advised against this form of construction on the ground that in the present state of the art most un- usual care will have to be exercised in mixing the concrete and in making the connections between one days work with another, this care requir- ing expert inspection to watch every mixture made and to see that it is properly put in place in the course of construction.

ABOUT OLD ACE PENSIONS.

Germany has expended $13,5000. 900 for age pensions, to say nothing of $555, zoo, ,000 for sickness and $232, ,750,- 900 for accidents. It is strange that this matter has not attracted more at- tention in an advanced country like the United States, which pays out more than $142 2,000, ,000 a year to army and navy pensioners and has spent $3,264,130,257 in that way since 1861. According to the Circle. the census figures show that in 1900 there were S,0S0,49S persons of 65 or more years in the United States. This was four per cent. of the whole population. Of these, 600,926 were of 70 to "A years; 360,6s6, 75 to 7s years; 1s2,304, 80 to S4 years; 66,3s9. 85 to S9 years; 1s.- 636, 90 to 94 years; 4,s3s, e5 to 99 years, and 3.0S6. a hundred years and oyer. Among the 3,0S0,4sS persons of 65 years and more, there were 1,044.- 051 married men and 521.220 married women, 410.565 widowers, 905.13 widows, s9.152 bachelors and 9o.S5s spinsters.

Walter Wellman, the arctic explor

Walter Wellman, the arctic explor- CT and ex-newspaper correspondent was in Washington this week, the last visit he will pay to the city before starting for the pole in an airship. He talked a little about the prepara- tions that had been made for the trip, and said that he has almost ready to entrain for Spitsbergen, a dirigable balloon that will lift 19,- 500 pounds and carry a car 115 feet long suspended beneath it. This is one of the most novel and daring attempts that has ever been made on the pole, and from the careful preparations that have been made, may meet with success where so many have failed.
