Good Idea for street Names.

Street names spelled out In bright
colors or figures and imbedded in ce
mant walks are one of the most recent
innovations in American city architec
ture. The plan has been tried In Kan
sas City on all the large boulevards
the main idea being not to disfgure
the street and houses by the usual
printed signs that are placed ON the
walls of corner houses or fastened to
the lamp posts AT the intersections OF
the streets. The name of each boule
ward is spelled out in letters from six
to eight inches high, formed with
stones about one-half inch. square laid
In the cement sidewalk, similar to the
tile or ceramic mosaic work which is
now so frequently seen in the vesti
bules of buildings.

Population Of Rome.

According to the last general census
of 1901 the resident population Of the
whole province of Rome was estimated
at 1,142,526. and the fluctuating popu-
lation, Italian and foreign, at 54.3S3.
The increase since the annexation Of
Rome to the Italian kingdom in 1871
has been very considerable At that
time the aggregate population
amounted to only 1856, 704, so that within
the comparatively short period Of 80
years the inhabitants Of the province
have increased by fully 305,S22. Ac.
cordlng to the above census the num-
Der of foreigners in Rome in 1901 was

Range Of Note. on Church selI,.

Saint-Saens. the French composer
possesses u remarkably acute ear. He
has pointed out that the notes OF
church bells contain high notes, much
higher than the usual octaves. and
low notes several octaves below the
fundamental.
This observation has been proved
by the French scientists. At the
Academy of Sciences the experiments
of NM. de Sizes and Massol were
communicated showing the presence
of these low and high octaves in the
notes OF the bells.

Changing the Form of Ballot.

Changing the Form of Ballot.
Since the national election advocates
Of ballot reform in many states have
renewed the agitation for a ballot
which shall eliminate the party col
umn. The object is to make the cast
ing of a split vote easier than it is
sometimes thought to be with the or
binary blanket ballot.
Objection is made to the form Of
ballot which requires the voter to
mark each candidate of his choice on
the ground that this system demands
intelligence beyond the mind of the
average voter. Agitation for ballot re-
form is most vigorous in communities
where the vote is close, and it is no
ticeable that in many states where the
form of the blanket ballot has been
radically modified since 1t was first In
troduced the form in use at the last
election has been found wanting by
those who seek the ideal ballot.

Political Reform In China.

The actual change of rulers in China
came suddenly, but the surprise had
been discounted. 1t had been an
nounced that the dowager empress,
who. was the real ruler, would abdi-
cate. at the beginning of the Chinese
new year. In that event the programme
for the titular emperor and for the
succession would have been managed
in the usual way. Tue nation had been
schooled to expect Prince Chun and
his heir when the time came for a
change. and so the palace was revolu-
tionized without precipitating an i'm
mediate outbreak Of the people.
Whether reform in China will ac-
cept patiently the programme laid out
by the imperial council must soon be
determined. A constitution has been
declared and the time set for the in
%auguration of sweeping reforms in the
structure Of good government Ten
years is a long period to expect the
people who have waged some of the
fiercest and the longest rebellions If
modern days to be good. 1t may be
that the reforming element Of China
is not organized for revolution. but it
has a programme which is preached
necessarily, demanding practically a
revolution of the army. the navy and
the civil system of the central govern
ment. All Asia is seething with aspi-
rations for radical reform. and the ad-
vent of a new regime in Pekin is the
signal for chinese reformers to put
their claims up to the palace.

Fresh Air and Weather Changes.
A change Of weather doesn't 'neces-
sarily change the air from wholesome
to impure. from good to bad. Storms
that are disagreeable to face are gem
orally supposed to wash the air and
purify it. But the balmy air which in
vites the house dweller out Of doors is
apt to make ~mollycoddles of those
whose activities do not force them to
face all weathers. After weeks Of fine
fall weather especially most persons
will dodge the other kind when they
can.
There is often more danger to health
and well being in lodging bad wealth
err than in facing it. The lungs and
blood cry for fresh air in all weathers,
and the close air Of a house breathed
too long may do more harm than the
damp or biting air Of the storm. The
gospel Of fresh air is one to practice
continually, let the weather man rule
as he may.

CHINESE TROOPS muTIHY

Picking, Nov. 25.-The situation at
Marking, where a mutiny on the part

ing in the streets of the city and a
portion of the foreign residents have
taken refuge on board a British gun
boat. Others of the foreigners elected
to remain on shore.
This information was conveyed to
Picking in Official kilograms to the le-
cations here. There is also q German
gunboat off the city. The American
residents asked for a gunboat for their
protection, but in view of the assur-
ances given by Yuan Shi Kai, one of
the grand councillors, that the situa-
ton was quiet and the incident of the
mutiny closed this request was not
forwarded. The information coming
in here contradicts the representa-
lions being made by the foreign board
and the legations have requested the
board to supply them with further
news.

The Case of the sufragettes.

The Case OF the Suffra getteS.
The unusual tactics of the women Of
England who seek the suffrage are not
without justification, according to the
English press. which has recently
pointed out laws Of the realm bearing
%unjustly upon women. These injus-
tices. it is also said. the present law
makers show no disposition to correct.
In recent years the rights of women
in England have been enlarged. but it
seems that the reforms have been only
halfway measures. 1t is still the law
that a husband having means may
leave his wife destitute ut death and
also that any money she may have
saved out of allowances from his in
come during his life must so back to
his estate. sven though the widow be
left penniless.
1t has been asserted by the more
conservative woman suffragists Of
England that it is not primarily un-
just economic laws which incite them
to demand the ballot. They ask for a
voice in the affairs of the nation.
Every form Of injustice, inequality and
political abuse or evil appeals to them.
and they claim that in legislation re-
lating to social conditions they. unit
ing with the e will bring about i'm
provement that the men. acting alone.
cannot accomplish. The recent overt
acts of the suffragettes. however. are
candidly confessed to arise from in
dignation at the palpable injustice Of
some few laws that hold women In
actual economic slavery.
