tack. is certainly in the interest Of humanity, II
not Of peace, and it is not easy to imagine any
worthy objection to it. The same may be said
of the American proposal to prohibit the naval
bombardment of unfortifed and undefended
places. As for the British and German propos-
ais for the establishment OF a sort of interna-
tional prize court of appeals, they seem TO be
designed in the interest of justice. In brief, al
most every proposition thus far made to the
congress Is Of practical value and adapted to
promote the ends which that benevolent body is
supposed TO have IN view.

of the earth. the ever present feeling of our
city's greatness.
There is no more inspiring sight in the whole
range of civilization than the Park ROW END oI
Brooklyn Bridge. where the population OF Fatrlck
McCarren's borough tries to get TO the lsi4u III III
the morning and away from 1t at eve. EVERY
day some of the population survive the struggle
We are glad to see that here, at least before
one of the continents wonders, the cataract or
human beings with It's whirlpool and rapids
second only to Niagara Falls, the captlors
critic is properly impressed. Some of the pOpu-
latfOn, truly, struggle and survive, and 1t Is 4
discipline that fits them for any fate. But the
marvel is that the slain are never missed. The
population of this great city is so tremendous
that we can sacrifice our thousands without
knowing it. Like Nature IS New York
So careful of the type she seems,
So careless Of the single life.
Except for the human cascade at the Bridge
and the fact that New York has the most horse
ears Of all American cities, the Bostonian sees
nothing to praise and marvel at i'll our remark
able transportation system. The New Yorker
himself receives some praise:
If a New Yorker gets anywhere alive he is
content. Tear his coat from him, deprive him
Of an eye, deafen him, beat him in the ribs, kick
him, rob him. trampie him by cars full, he VIII
pay his fare without murmur and be grateful
for the privilege and he will tell his country
cousin and any benighted alien within hearing
distance that the rapid transit system in New
York IS the most wonderful thing in the world.
For ourselves we have always believed that
our transportation system is due to psycho-
logical habit. We are convinced that our city
is so great that transit IS IN insoluble problem
SO long as it remains unsolved and we ride to
and from home in jammed cars we have com
Portable sense that we are living In the greatest
city in the world, one which stands on the
verge of solving that most important problem
of the futUre-how to make two bodies occupy
the same space at the same time. The transit
companies are not disposed TO do anything that
will disturb the public sense of the city's mag
nitude. It Is pure charity for them not to
cut us loose from our intellectual moorngs.

ed Burden.
"That will do,' said the girl sharply.
"No impertinence or shall report you
to the janitress."
Burden could not quite see what the
janitress had to do with the matter,
but he lifted the soft SLOUGH hat that
was part of his fishing toggery and
started to pass on up the stairs to his
apartment.
"Come in here" called the girl i'm

door, affording a vista Of chaos, to the

commanded. 81 will tell you where"
Burden gasped. For the first time
he realized what was expected of him.
She had mistaken him for day work
er for whom she had probably sent to
aid her In Strengthening out her new
home. The fact that he was in an
old suit and had rung the nearest bell
in the lobby because he had forgotten
his keys accounted for the error. 1t
had been her bell he had rung She
was expecting man to help, and she
had supposed that he was the one.
She had not been flirting after all.
Somehow Burden was rather glad of 1t.
There would not be very much do
ing in the street that afternoon, so he
slipped Off his coat and went to work.
1t was evident that the little woman
intended to get the full worth Of her
money out Of him, for she kept him
busy, and under her skillful direction
the fat soon assumed an appearance
of orderliness he had not supposed pos
sible in so short time.
She explained that her mother would
arrive the next morning and that she

WHAT is THE SOIL?
Extent of This Precious but Limited
Surface Material.

If you were asked to name the most
important of mineral substances, you
would doubtless hesitate for moment
and weigh the respective merits of
coal, iron and the precious metals.
Only after some consideration prob
ably would 1t occur to you that these
highly useful substances have insig-
nifcant value as compared with that
familiar mixture of ground up min
erals which we call the soil.
Man could make shift to live and
even in measure to progress with
out glass or cement or metals, but his
very life depends upon the little film
of triturated rock that is spread over
the surface of the globe in the form
of earth. The constituents of this are
metamorphosed into the substance of
plants and ultimately into the tissues
of man himself.
Properly to understand the matter,
however, it must be comprehended
that the soil is no important part Of
the earth's structure, except from a
strictly human standpoint. At best it
Is only little film Of material frayed
off from the jacket called the earth's
crust To giant Of such size that
the earth were to him what an apple
is to us the soil would be no more
than the bloom on the peach.
With his handkerchief he could wipe
off the films of water that we call
oceans, like so much dew. and polish
of the soil as we rub the bloom from
an apple, clear down to the rock foun-
dations, without changing appreciably
the size or the weight of his toy.
To scrape away the entire crust of
the earth $50 far as known to us)
would be but to remove an infinitesi-
NAL shell, and the total bulk Of air and
oceans aggregates only z per cent
of that shell. Yet the oceans cover
three-fifths of the earth's surface and,
as measured in human terms, are some
miles In depth. How, then, shall we
estimate the insignificance of that
little powdering of soil, only few
feet in thickness, that is busted over
the remaining two-fifths of the earth's
crust.-Appleton's

was anxious to have things all in readi-
ness for her. On that plea she kept
him working until 8 o'clock, but she
was generous when she paid him of.
Burden waited on the landing until
she closed the door; then he ran up
stairs to his own rooms and tumbled
into the tub. 1t had been hard work
and hot, and he was glad Of the chance
to clean up. He had risen at for q
fishing trip and had made long day.
but he thought he would dress again
and slip over to the club for chat and
a bite.
At the foot Of the first flight he came
face to face with the girl She recog-
nized him In spite of the change that
evening clothes made and gave little
cry.
Then you were not the man the
janitress promised to send up" she
said
Burden lifted his hat
II admit it," he began. when saw
the mistake you had made and remem-
bered that had seen Phil, the chore
man, disgustingly intoxicated on my
way in, let you persist In your mis-
take that might be Of assistance"
"And you let me pay you money"
she reproached.
''If you think I didn't earn It," he
smiled, 'I'll give 1t back"
'sBut made you earn itr' She shud-
dered as she thought of how she had
driven him. "And gave you 10 cents
for a glass Of beer"
Beer is only five," he explained.

she saw there must have satisfied her.

Burden tucked her arm through his

little gasp when she saw the restau-
rant.

until I began to wonder If they would
serve an unescorted woman at this
time of night"
Burden glanced at the clock in the
window. 1t was only half past 10, but
1t seemed later to her.
1--WE won't worry about such things"
he suggested. Just think about what
is best to eat"
Over the tasteful meal he had or
dered she grew more communicative.
She had come to the city to study mu-
sic, he learned. There We're only her
mother and herself left of large fam
lily, and they wanted to be together.
There was something in Burdens man
ner that inspired confidence, and, al
most without realizing it, she was
chatting as with an old friend.
The next afternoon he called to pay
his respects to Mrs. Trevor, and before
long the two women had come to re-
gard Burden almost as one Of the fam
lily. He took them to concerts and the
theater and formed the habit of drop
ping in for chat in the evenings when
he was not going out.
Then came the panic, and for a week
many firms fate hung in the balance
The one In which Burden was a part
ner was persistently included in the
list of the doubtful concerns, and then
one afternoon the late editions came
out with the statement that the house
had been forced to suspend.
Lois read the report feverishly, but
when Burden came home late that
night and YEARLY began to ascend the
steps she was at the head Of the flight
to welcome him, calm eyed and quiet.
Mother wants you to come in and
have some coffee" she pleaded. 1--WE
saw the papers and are so sorry"
"I'll come gladly" he said as his
drawn face lighted up. II shall be
glad to forget business for the mo-
ment To find you waiting here like
the first time we met is as unexpected
as it is pleasant"
1--WE could not Sleep" she explained,
"while you were in trouble. We want
ed to know that all was well with you
If not with the business"
"You didn't suppose was going to
shoot myself in the true melodramatic
fashion, did your" he laughed. Lois
shook her head.
ut wasn't exactly that" she explain
ed, 'but we thought it might not seem
so hard if you had chance to rest up
a little before you went to your
rooms"
He followed her into the tiny din
ing room, where dainty cold lunch
was spread.
Cast your restaurant meals on the
water and they will come back in the
shape of real home stuff" be laughed.
II hope this lunch will do you as
much good as that other supper did

"More," he protested. '"There is
only one thing / should like better"
"And thaty' she asked.

"Just that" he confirmed. ut was
a trick to throw the market. We are
