The present period is distinguished for two things-prosperity and discon- tent. Despite many glaring inequali- ties or inequities in the distribution Of its results, great prosperity has pre- vailed In the United States for eight or nine years, and there are no visible signs of its Interruption. Yet 1t Is a matter of common remark that only in a few trying times of great industrial depression, when millions of working people were deprived of opportunities to earn living, has there been so much discontent as Is seen and heard and felt In these times of amazing prosper ity. Never before were attacks on the great trusts made with such determina- ton and effect. Never before were the people so united and so jealous In war fare upon political graft in all sections. The discontent of the period Is not mere grumbling. It Is enlightened de sire for better conditions. Such dis content is the parent of all progress. If the American people were more con- tent with a full stomach they would be less energetic and progressive. To an individual, tribe, or people who are contented, who have all they de- sire, progress is impossible. But for those whose ideals are higher than any present attainment, the longing for bet ter things, who have shown up here and there in all the ages and who have become more numerous and more in- sistent as one after another their aims and longings have been gratifed, the progress of the human family would never have advanced beyond naked bar barism. We are a dlscontented people there's no denying 1t, and no reason for trying to deny 1t. Because we are discontented we hustle and "get there" The discontent Is not at all due to the prosperity, but the prosperity Is very largely due to the discontent. We have not reached perfection yet, and the fact that we know 1t and kick about 1t Is the best possible assurance that affairs will steadily grow better.

curity of the contents and as regards fire danger to life 1t is the part of pru- dence to consider 1t from the stand- point of an ordinary building. It must be conceded that In an office building It Is possible for fire to start and the smoke, heat and flames to spread throughout, making 1t impossible to use the stairways and elevator as exits. Under the circumstances it Is to be ex pected that number of persons will be imprisoned above the fire and their safety dependent upon circumstances
 "The possibility of a serious fire in an office building Is generally discount ed on the ground that office buildings do not contain enough fuel for a con- siderable fire, but whoever entertains this notion should look about and esti- mate the quantity of combustible mate rials contained In an office In the shape of desks, cabinets, rugs, papers, etc. It is true that the usual office occupancy Is not such as results In frequent fires. but there are the hazards due to the heat, light and power and in many instances offices are used for compara- lively hazardous purposes. At the same time among thousands of offices 1t Is reasonable to expect a certain propor- tion of fires and among these some that will get headway and result In a con- siderable lre."-Translation In Liter. ary Digest

Historic Ship House Sold.

The historic Ship house and part of the Johnson homestead on German town avenue north of Washington lane have been sold to James J. Allen, a builder. Workmen will start to rage the once famous hostelry, which has stood for more than century. MT. Allen will preserve the old stone carv- ing of a ship which was built in the gable end of the house and gave the place its name. This will be presented to one of the historical societies. These properties bear marks of bull lets fired during the revolutionary war, the battle of Germantown having been fought there. The Johnson homestead has been in the family possession since the time of William Penn, from whom they hold the original grant. The Ship house has seen many changes of own ership. One of the earliest owners was Captain Darien, an old skipper, who placed the carving of the ship in posi- tion. When Captain Darien died the heirs sold the place to Jacob Peters, who conducted line of stage coaches and made this stopping place. When Peters died the place was sold to Jas. Ford, who opened a private school there. He died and the heirs contem- plated selling 1t for use as an insane asylum. The Bockius family owned the adjoining property and objected, 80 were compelled to buy the place. If was again turned into hotel and re mained 80 until the elder Bockius was killed by a horse about sixty years ago. MT. Allen will build sixty-eight houses on the site.-Philadelphis Led- ger.

Happily the horse has a faculty for upsetting the gloomy predictions that he Is fated to be put out of business by the automobile. The horse business has kept right on developing In spite of the fact that the automobile indus- try has been engaged in a similar un- dertaking. The demand for horses Is still great. The supply of some classes of them Is inadequate. The prices are high. The automobile may scare the horse into the ditch, but 1t isn't likely to crowd him to the wall. There will always be a field for the horse, as there will always be field for the au- tomobile.

excellent manner. My guide-who, like many Chinese, can not negotiate word beginning with the letter y-proudly drew my attention to the fact that these boys were lung soldia.' It is notorious that this sort of thing is going on throughout the empire. Whether any significance can be attached to 1t re- mains to be seen. The boys were all dressed in jumpers and pants of rusty black. Their drill was watched by a mandarin, who was dressed in silk robes down to his heels. He wore also . silk tunic of dark eholocate color dec orated with many trinkets and he had an embroidered pouch hanging from a girdle underneath his jacket The drill instructor wore white uniform" These and other signs indicate military awakening.

Herculaneum, the rich and splendid city that was buried, along with Pom peil and StabiR, by the eruption of yesuvius In A. D. 79, Is to be dug from the mass of tufa which covered 1t, and Its buildings are to be disclosed to view. Professor Waldstein of Cam bridge University has induced the Ital- ian government to consent to the work, on condition that 1t be officially direct ed by Italians, and that the assistance of foreigners, financially and otherwise, shall be unofficial. Should the enter prise be carried out, we shall soon have much light thrown on the manner of life of the Romans of the first cen tury. Herculaneum, far more than Pompeii, was the residence of wealthy and cultivated citizens. Their houses were filled with artistic objects and their libraries contained the best liter ature of the period. In partial exca- walton nearly two thousand manuscript rolls were found in one house. Pom peii was covered with small stones and eOll dSuCS HUH luC NolNahO. AASANA laneum was buried beneath torrent of mud to the depth of from thirty to hundred and twenty feet On top of 1t two large modern villages have been built General excavation has not been undertaken, lest the stability of the vil' lages should be threatened. Plans now making provide for tearing down these villages, so far as necessary, to get at the city beneath. In the comparatively near future we may expect to hear re- ports of the uncovering of fine bronze and marble statuary, of beautiful man. sions, of libraries filled with ancient books, some of them for centuries known by tradition only. In short, 1t will be as If we were taken back more than eighteen hundred years, and were able to look upon the city as its inhab- itants suddenly left 1t when Vesuyius poured forth the flood of mud, molten rock and scalding water upon the towns of Its seaward slope.

FALL OF sooT IN BIG CITIES.
Soft Coal Smoke Sends Down Eighteen Tons Daily in Cincinnati.

Eighteen Tons Daily in Cincinnati.
 A scientific investigator in Cincinna- u has been trying to arrive at definite idea of the amount of soot deposited In the city In the course of year. One of his tests was to place buckets, three fourths filled with water on eleven roofs In different parts of the city. At the end of three months careful analysis was made of the contents of the buck cts to ascertain the amount of carbon aceous matter.
 The final computation Is that in the downtown area the falling soot amounts to 54l tons a month, or eighteen tons daily. On square mile of the city the soot deposit Is I'll tons a month, or 343, FPS pounds, an average of several bounds to each inhabitant. Tn one of the suburbs the soot in the bucket was 464 grains to the square foot for a period of thirty days. For the same time the deposit at central point in the city was 2,550 grams to the square foot.
 Other cities that burn soft coal need not fatter themselves that they fare much better A glance out at the win dow tells the story. In many parts of sooty city the trees and flowers are coated with grime and often refuse to grow. The smoke cloud injures health in several ways, one of which Is the shutting out of the sunlight that de stroys disease germs. That soot Is de- posted in human lungs Is fact well known to surgeons.
 These figures were laid before a smoke abatement league meeting in Cin- cinnati, and It was resolved to ask the next legislature for more stringent anti smoke laws. The present methods of smoke abatement are visibly unsatisfac- tory and the opinion is widely held that relief must come through some means not yet attained.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

FIRE IN THE SKYScRAPER.
Chief Danger Is the Infam mablt
 office Furniture.

The construction of the new Singer building In New York, lofty tower of forty-two stories, 612 feet high, leads the Journal of Fire to speculate on the consequences of a fire in this structure or in any very high steel frame build ing. It concludes that the average skyscraper Is too high for adequate fire protection and that when such a building begins to burn the people in the upper stories will have to sit down with such calmness as they can mus ter and wait for it to be put out-or for the alternative.
 "The danger Is not so much to prop erty as 1t is to life and for this reason the matter deserves careful considera- tlon," says the paper named above. "The modern office building contains a small army of occupants, both men and women, and the endangering of these Is a great responsibility.
 'The skyscraper as fire risk has not been sufficiently tested to justify any conclusion as to its fire safety, but judging by present knowledge and ex- perience 1t represents a serious fire possibility. The question of safety for the occupants may be passed by in the belief In the 'fireproof' capacity of the building, but this belief Is a deluslon and a dependence on 1t Is likely to re- suit disastrously. The results of the Baltimore and San Francisco conflagra- tions were not needed to demonstrate the falsity of the 'fireproof' idea, for New York's fire experience was amply sufficient for this.
 "The so-called flreproof building Is fire proof only as regards the structure itself and this only to a limited extent. The building, as such, does not assure the safety of the inmates nor the ss-

In no place where the ma. chimes were used were returns later than one-half hour after the closing of the polls. In most places where the old-fashloned way of voting prevailed there was seldom a complete and accu- rate return within twenty-four hours.
