rAE alanEsr STRUCTURES.

Writing from New York, William Il.
Curtis says: The wonderful Singer
Building that you have read SO much
about is very nearly finished, and Is
quite brilliantly lighted every even
ing. Erin the ferryboat crossing the
river it looks like lofty tower, but
does not appear as tall as it really Is
because it is considerably dwarfed by
the building erected for the terminals
of the downtown Hudson River tun'
nels, which runs up to thirty-two stor-
les and will be the largest in the coun-
try. Nevertheless, the Singer Build
ing has forty.six stories, and. counting
the lantern, is 6l2 feet high, the tallest
structure ever built by human hands,
except the Eiffel tower-fifty-seven
feet higher than the Washington mon
ument, 127 feet higher than the Great
Pyramid of Egypt, and 2l2 feet higher
than the dome of st. Peters in Rome.
TT is interesting to compare 1t with
other tall structures:

ed by various democratic senators
that they could not come TO an agree
ment upon any amendment, and that
the best chance for success lay in
passing the Hepburn bill substantially
unchanged. / was informed and be.
lleved that this was Senator Baileys
view, and number of the republican
senators who favored the bill express
ed the same opinion. Shortly after
this you, in company with Senator
Cullom, called upon me with the
amendment which IS now commonly
known as the Allison amendment.
[ told you that while / should prefer
the Long and Oyerman amendments,
yet that your amendment was entirely
satisfactory. Your amendment does
not in the slightest degree weaken or
injure the Hepburn bill. 1t merely
expresses what the friends of the bill
have always asserted when implied
by the terms of the bill. | may add
that my own opinion that your amend
ment in no way changed, whether by
diminishing or enlarging, the scope
of the court review as provided in the
original Hepburn bill, is also the
opinion of the attorney general, OF
Mr. Root and of Mr.. Taft. Their
judgment is that the amendment
merely avoids the criticism that the
Hepburn bill would ne constitutionally
invalid in not expressly providing the
court review which its supporters
have always contended was plainly
implied in the original language.
THE original Hepburn bill stated
that the venue for certain actions was
in certain COURTS the amendment
states that these courts shall have
jurisdiction to consider such actions
To my mind it seems difficult TO as
sert that this works any change what
ever in the principle CT the bill.
Yours sincerely,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

THE OTHER SIDE.

Editor Heralds,: mere is quite a
bit of excitement in some states over
the tuberculin test. Mucn can be said
upon both sides of the question. Many
able and honest men are advocating
the use of tuberculin. | respect these
men and honor them for the efforts
they are making to exterminate tuber'
about tuberculosis, but | do claim
that at the present time very little is
known abou 1t. | do not believe that
% per cent of the cattle of America
are tuberculous. | do not believe
that pure blooded animals are more
susceptible to the disease than scrub
animals. | do not believe that the
accuracy of tubercuiin has been prov
en-. do not believe that at present
there are good reasons for consider
safe, both to the lower animals and
to human beings. believe that /,
were better to stop tuberculous peo-
pie from walking over and splitting
upon our pastures than to kill our
animals at wholesale upon suspicion.
Tuberculous humans should not be al.
lowed to handle the feed or work
about our cattle.
Let the states each put up some.
thing to pay for testing tuberculin. II
viii not cast so much as it will to pay
for and replace the valuable herds OF
America.
Any good veterinarian or stockman
can diagnose the condition of herd

nary methods of diagnosis as some
people are doing with the use OF tu-
berculin. Some say the cattle OF
America are on trial. / say tubercu-

character he developes, and no agency
can develop that but himself The
boy or girl for whom things are made
easy at home and in school will usual
ly be soft in fiber, mental and moral
as well as physical.
The teacher, professor or lecturer
is not doing you any kindness in max,
ing it easy for you; and the school,
mate who tries to make 1t easy for
you by helping you out when you are
behind through laziness or lack OF
application is no friend of yours. II
you are to get any good whatever out
of your studies you must dig them out
for yourself. The problems may be
hard, but whether hard or easy, solve
them. Go at things with grim de-
termination that you win know all
there is to be known on that particular
subject. If you keep that up even for
one year 1t will make you moral and
mental fiber and lay the foundation
for usefulness in your future life.
Don't imagine that because you
have graduated from the high school
or from the agricultural college or any
other college with honor, that there
fore your education is finished. You
are the greenest of the green If you
imagine this. Your education has, In
fact, just begun, and never will be
finished. and it never ought to be un
til your friends lay all that remains
of you in it's last resting place. Your
work at school is simply to mt you
for learning to better advantage In
the much greater school of life.
