The Danger of Smoke.

Hollis Godfrey in the July Atlantic.
 The pity of it is that the evils which come from smoke are all preventable. Smoke-consumers exist which have proved their worth. Due care in running fires will do much. No more fuel is re- quired under careful management to pro- duce combustion which shall be pract cally smokeless. Those statements have been proved over and over again. It is a matter of community supervision. of laws rightly framed, and fearlessly admin istered Fortunately inspection is by no means difficult matter. One city, for example, handles that problem by means of chart holding six pictures of chm- ney above a factory, the first of which shows the chimney with no smoke, the second with light smoke issuing, the other four showing greater and blacker volumes. The first conditions are pass able. The last are dangerous. The in spector takes a photograph of any ques- tionaple chimney and compares it with the standard pictures. The comparison teiis the story. The factory Is pronounced
 passed or the owner is warned to im- mediately conform to the regulations un- der penalty of the law.

NEW RAILROADS ARE PROJECTED Will Open Up Fresh Timber
 Fields IN SOUTH MISSISSIPPI Two Large NationaIBanks In Hatties- burg Give Notice That They Will
 Consolidate as Soon as Ar
 engagements Are Made.
By A. c. AYLESWoRTH.

Hattiesburg, Miss, July 4-(Special.)- Railroad projecting, with view to the opening up of fresh fields for lumber ex- ploitation, Is the important pursuit in South Mississippi just now, and num- Der of new lines are not only talked Of, but some of them are well on the way to contamination. While the hope Of get ting to haul out the timber and lumber cut of this section is an important fn- cident in the purpose of these projects, Ithe main object held in view by the Narger systems appears to be the reach hg of gulf ports in anticipation of the opening of the Panama canal and the consequent development of large Orien- taI and South American traffic. The llli- nois Central and the Frisco are the chief figures in the movements that are going forward, but they are understood to be in the background al present and are op- erating through smaller and less conspic- uous companies.
 The Frisco, represented in this terri- tory supposedly by the New Orleans, Mo bile and Chicago company, recently char tered, is the first to actively enter the field. It's object Is to cover all three ports of Mobile Pascagoula and New Or leans. If 1t has an eye on Gulfport that fact has not yet developed. There has just been issued an official call for meeting at Laurel, Miss, on July P of the directors of the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City, the Gulf and Chicago, and the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago companies In each case the call sets forth that the meeting Is for the pur- pose of ratifying the merger of all these lines into the New Orleans. Mobile and Chicago company. l.. s. Berg, president of the new company, has just written letter to the Commercial club of Hatties- burg, in which he intimates that work on the extension of the road from Ovette, in Jones county to New Orleans will be entered upon immediately after this ratl- fication of the merger He also says that in shaping the route of the line Hat tiesburg will certainly not be over looked.
 The road which was projected by the Edward Hines company of Chicago, over a year ago, to run from Poplarvlle to Gulfport, and originally designed to tap the Hines timber holdings in the country south of here Is the pivot on which ap- pears to turn a number of plans for rail road construction from the west. Moth ing has ever been done toward the con- struction of the Hines road. for the m

China. 3 Collection of Nations

Samuel Merwin in Success Magazjne
 China is not a nation in the sense in which We generally use the word. If we picture to ourselves the conn. tries of Europe. with their diffarent languages and different customs drawn together into a loose confederation un- der the government of a conouerine race. we shall have some small con, ception of what this Chinese nation" really IS. The peoples of these differ ent Euronean countries are all Cau- casians; the different peoples of China are all Mongolians. These Chinese peoples speak IS or 20 distinct Ian guages, each divided into almost in numerable dialects and sub-dialects. They are governed by Manchu, or Tar tar, conquerers who spring from a diff ferent stock, wear different costumes. and speak among themselves a Ian guage wholly different from any of the IS or 20 native tongues.

The Dangerous House Fly.

Michalel Williams, in Success Maga-
 zine"
 Flies cause. in New York city alone about $50 deaths from typhoid fever and about TOGO deaths yearly from other dis eases. Last year fly was captured on South street. in New York (not far from one of the city's biggest meat and fish markets), that was found to be carrying in his mouth and on his legs more than 1COOO0 disease bacteria. Flies walk over decaying and fetid matter for which they have a natural affinity. and then, entering neat markets and homes. travel over the food. exrlore the milk pitcher. and also light direetly on the skin of the house. holders. k

dustrial collapse came about the time the company was ready to start work, and besides MT. Hines has not been physical ly able to do much active work of late. But 1t is found that the Hines road en- joys at Gulfport franchise that would be of the greatest value to any road pro- posing to enter that port. It was given by Capt. J. T. Jones practically the use of one-half of the pier. The Mississippi Central Is one of the lines understood to be seeking ingress to Gufport with the advantage of that port concession, and there is reason to believe that the Illi- nois Central also has it's eye on the same arrangement. The Illinois Central Is making it's approaches by two routes. namely, the Baton Rouge, Hammond and Eastern and the Liberty White line. which is to be extended to Natchez on the west and to Columbia and then to Hattiesburg and Gulfport by diverging spurs on the east and south
 In addition to these projects the future of the Mississippi Central is now being defined During the past week the di- rectors of the United States Lumber coni- pany, whose personnel Is practically the same as the directorate of the Mississippi Central railroad, has been in session at Scranton, laying out plans for the fu- ture, among them the matter of a gulf coast extension of the railroad. Hereto fore the general understanding has been that the road would run to Pascagoula and Scranton, Miss. with some possibil- ity that 1t would run direct to Mobile But of late the company Is known to have carried on some quiet negotiations with the Gulfport interests, and there Is reason to believe that the Gulfport con- nection. will be made if satisfactory ter minal and wharfage conveniences can be secured as through an arrangement with the Edward Hines company.
 Two of the larger national banks of Hat tiesburg that in the past have had much to do with the financing of the lumber traffic in South Mississippi have just given notice that they will consolidate as soon as the necessary formalities can be complied with. They are the National Bank of Commerce and the First National bank. The capital of the combined in- stitution will be s425,OOO, with suprplus and profits that will give it a backing of over $600.0O0 It will be known as the First National Bank of Commerce of Hat tiesburg. The directory and clerical staff of the greater institution will be made up of selections from the boards and staffs of the present banks. 1t is under stood that MT. A. F. Thomasson the pres ent cashier of the First National bank, will go out west where he has made ar engagements to engage in banking.
