that HOrrigan had In no way exng

knew, too. that the firm OF engineers
who had drawn up the report were
the foremost Of their sort and above all
shadow Of suspicion.
Little by little the numbness lifted
from his brain. and in Its place crept Il
horrible conviction OF the truth. His

had won n nations applause in the
civil war--the man who. poor and un

keenest competition aud had earned 4

MOTHER GOOSE IN THE PILLORY.
 Some agitated Boston person, "of the female persuasion" as they say in the joke books, proposes to throw Mother Goose" Alice in Wonderland" "The Arabian Nights and all the other classics of childhood into the fire be- cause they are not truthful. Children should read nothing based on un- truth" but the delightful fantasies of a picturesque imagination. It is doubt full if there ever was child of average age intelligence that was for a moment deceived by it, or failed to penetrate the mask of veri- -similtude which en- velops some of it's absurdities. It is extremely significant that every effort to supplant these juvenile classics have met with failure. and that the child who is given liberty to make his own selection will invariably choose them iD preference to the labored products of the "child culture" protagonists.

ROMANCE OF TRANSMISSION.

Cautiously trailing through some shadowy canyon of the Sierras, per haps with treacherous footing along stream, sheer. craggy walls of rock rising on either side of sixty. eighty, or one hundred feet, from which every vestige of living green has been torn by the spring torrents and above which again mount three or four hundred keen eve of hunter or prospector may sometimes light upon two or three wires swinging in a crescent high above the feathered tops of the pines. The span from supporting peak to supporting peak may be two hundred or two thousand feet.
 If the explorer is a stranger and unacquainted with the peculiarities of the country his first thought will be of telegraph or telephone. But the old hand knows better and, if a hunter will probably ejaculate with an eoath: "Transmissioni"
 With this introduction. George Fred eric Stratton writes a remarkable ar tiele on the Romance of Transmits sion in the Technical World Magazine for May. It gives a striking picture of the wonderful work being done in developing our natural resources. while touching upon the inspiring side of the engineers labors.

THE WORLD AND THE WHITE
 PLAGUE.

No common event ana one of no ordinary importance will be the as sembling of the International Congress on tuberculosis in Washington in the fall. From the twenty-first Of sep tember to the twelfth of October, in elusive. the worlds delegates to the congress will be in session. the section work to be concentrated in the second of the three weeks program of busy and profitable features; during which period there will also be two general meetings. The arrangements are in the hands of committees of the Na- tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis; there be- ing. further. committees in every for eign country and in every state or the union to attend to their respective concerns, as related to the whole scheme, and promote public interest in the proceedings.
 In its importance to the welfare or mankind this international congress may be said almost to rank with The Hague peace conference. Surely none other is of so vast a significance. In Washington next September will be gathered the ablest leaders in the world extended warfare against the white plague. By discourse and visi- hle demonstration will be made known the newest triumphs of energetic cam paigning and the most promising plans for pushing the fight all along the line. The seven sections into which the work naturally divides itself pathology and bacteriology; clinical study, including sanataria; surgery and orthopedics; prevention and treat ment of tuberculosis in children; hy- gienic, social, industrial and economic aspects; state and municipal control; animal tuberculosis and its relations to man-will undoubtedly command the participation of the ripest investiga- tors and most expert practitioners in the several fields of study and effort
