NOVEMBER IN ROME.
Beautiful Weather ard Many Flowers
 There.

November, that montl which usually typInes autumn, In Rome bellies It's reputation for gloom and sadness. In placo of dull clouds, damp winds, and moisture laden streets. IL is a month of much sunshine and of pleasant bracIng winds. Tho dearth of bios soms which, comes in August and lasts even through the rains of Sep tembcr and october is followed by an abundance of lovely flowers. On the steps of the splendid Spanish stairs. loading from the Piazza al Spagna to the church of the Trlnlta, colors rav- Ish the eyc and delight the senses. At the low hills, and the haze, which boautihcs ruins and domes and pal aces, falls over tho city, hiding ugly outlines ana yelling unsghtly corners, the steps change from sparkling waite to rose, while at the base orange and magenta, pink and white chrysanthe- nuns blend together in masses of gorgeous color which bid fair to rival tho glorious tlnts In the western sky. If an artist should reproduce ac- curately the lavish, brilliant colors which naturo paints In tho heavens and on the flower petals in this old city of Rome, he would he called bi- zarre eXtravagant, imaginative. In order 10 gratify the so-calcd correct | taste of the critic who probably never stood at the summit of the Spanish stairs, and never watched the ever changing panorama of cloud and sky, ho must modify the tints and change l and suhdue reality, no matter how beautiful 1t may be,

LOST AMERICAN IDEALS.
Economic Forces Dominant In Our
 Modern Life.

"All national growth has been away from simplicity and is marked by steady accumulation of wants among tho individuals ont Of which has come the demand for luVurles, the concen- trnton or wealth
 "The question ls. How shall we inter- pret this groNth2 shall we take the pessimistic view of the ancient phioso' phers, who viewed tho increase in the taste for luxures as a sign of national decay, or shall we hold with the ops timist that this tendency marks 2 step in civilization, since 1t is an indication of tho broadening out of mans capacity for enioyment?"
 "You find this tendency in tho na- tons of to-day in America, for in stauce?"
 "Assuredly it is so with the nations Of Europe AS for American, am hardly enough of student of your history to attempt it's Interpretation And yet there can be no doubt that the Ameri- ca of Washington and Franklin, which SO forcibly impressed all Europe with it's marvellous simplicity and strength, no longer exists to-day Your life, in the multiplication of it's tastes and wants, has become as complex, as rc. mote from it's carly primitive ideal, as the lifc to be found In the typical Flu ropean state. You have acquired an unboundcd taste for luxurles and you have acquired tho uxurles necessary to satisfy the taste You have created an extreme concentration of wealth, and, on tho other hand, an extreme of pow crty Certainly tho simple life, tho Spartan life, of American is q thing of l the past
 "We have parted from our carly ideals you think our national tendency is a declining one?'
 | "The pessimist would probably say SO. The optimlst would say that Amer ica by losing the simplicity which l characterized It as nation . century or so ago, and by gaining instead q national life which is notable for It's mult!farious tastes and interests, has advanced rapidly along tho road to civ | ili2ation,"
 You take tho pesslmistlc view?"
 "ln this matter am neither pessimist .uor optimist Just think for a moment Here is America with population Of some SOO00,00O people Could this coun- try have supported such a population l in the days of Washington? I think there was not half that number of peo- ple here then, The progress of the American nation, therefore by passing from its early state of simplicity into one where the tastes of It's people arc multiplied and extremely complex, has created a condition which renders youl country capable of 2 vast and indefinite increase in its population In this aspect the history of America shows 2 marvellous degree of progress Al progress however, brings logs as wei as gain There was something un doubtedly inspiring in thc origina

 The lecturer then replied to dues- tlons that are frequently asked con corning tho experiences of a balloon ist. He said there Is no aenso of diz2i- ness in making an ascension, that tho effect is not like looking down from a high building or tower because there is nothing to connect the observer with the ground and he cannot mons ure his height The distance from the ground generally appears legs than 1t really Is. The aeronaut does not got sea sick and there Is practically no motion in the balloon. He would not know he ls moving at all except by seeing the ground recede. Even the motion of an elevator Is lacking in a balloon.
 The danger of ballooning he de- clared ls less than that attending au- tomobllng and Is not worth consid- oring when the balloon ls in charge of an experienced pilot and sailed under proper conditions of weather.
