lam j. Bryan, Democratic candidate
for president, of telegram to Presi-

Escanaba, Mich, Sept. 22.-Forest
fires have broken out anew and four
villages north of Escanaba are now
surrounded by flames. The villages
threatened are Niagara, Quinnesec,
Foster City and Hermansville. At all
those places telephone and telegraphic
communication is cut off and relief
trains are carrying the people out of
the territory. At Foster City, where
the Morgan Cedar and Lumber COM

There was brief silence, and then
very simply the woman to whom the

LENGTH OF PARTY PLATFORMS.
burlington Hawkeye)

Party platforms are too long. In the
earlier days Of the republic the pollt-
ical parties had no platforms. Andrew
Jackson was elected to the presidency
twice without any resolutions" The
Sioux City Journal attributes the pro-
lixity of later platforms to the progress
of stenography. type writing and print
ing, which make it easier to say things,
and say them redundantly and COM
ments:
probably the republican platform
adopted at Chicago contains as many
words as all the democratic and whig
platforms. prior to the birth OF the re-
publican party, combined; and 1t may
be expected that the Denver platform
in rivalry with the republican plat
form, will cover about equal space. 1t

in this respect. The earlier custom of

JUSTICE BROWNS ONE LETTER.
Point In Argument Not Intended BY

Mr.. Justice Brown, Of the United

was addressing class Of young law
yers in Detroit, Mich, which was his

according to the Saturday Evening

"In my opinion" said the learned
Justice to the young men, lawyers
just starting out in life are prone to
put too much reliance on letters of in
PRODUCTION. They go to nev town
to settle down and take letters 10 help
them along instead of relying On their
own abilities, and not on the help
others can extend to them. I hear Of
young men taking dozen or two let
tiers into new places. Now, I do not
believe in that. Why, to show you
how 1t is matter Of principle with
me, will inform you that l brought
but one letter Of Introduction with mo
when l came to Detroit, only one"
The Justice here paused and looked
around to see what effect his words
had had. One young man piped up
and said:
Who was that letter from, Mr.. Jus.
tice Brown"
Rufus Choate." he replied, and he
doesn't to this day understand why the

Economy in Smoke Prevention.
(Review Of Reviews)


Assuming that in the case of the
crate fire the smoke did not cease to
appear until the volatile matter had
entirely escaped, it can easily be seen
that the prevention Of smoke becomes
at once matter of tremendous i'm
portance to a concern which burns an
enormous amount of coal per DAY.
Take, for instance, the case of the
Commonwealth Edison company, OF
Chicago, which is now, believe, burn.
ing in the neighborhood Of 1000 tons
of coal per day. Another example can
be found in the big ocean steamers,
which, according to the last report,
burn about 1000 tons of coal day. II
these big coal consumers purchased
low grade coal which was high In
volatile matter, and used freehold
methods which would permit all of this
volatile matter to go off in the form OF
smoke, it is very easy to see that they
could lose anywhere from 25 to 80 per
cent of their coal thru the smokestack
without getting a particle of beneht
from it, This coal will cost delivered
anywhere from 81 to 81 or So a ton,
and consequently the loss can be any
where from 81 to $3.50 or So per ton.
1t is a simple case of arithmetic to
multiply this loss by the amount OF
coal consumed per day to arrive at
conclusion as to how much money the
big coal consumers are permitting to
fly off into the air from the smokestack,
and how much it would mean to con-
Germ of this kind if it We're permitted
to burn all of this volatile matter and
consequently avoid this tremendous
loss. This, of course, does not take In
to consideration the irreparable dam
age that is done to the household
Furniture, to valuable tapestries and IL
braries, and to the public health by
these poisonous gases being discharged
into the air which is admitted into the
homes and into the human lungs. 1t
was not consideration for the public
health or consideration for other peo-

Test Of tho Human Power Plant.

(Review Of ReviewS)
When a few years ago the late Prof
w. o. Atwater began his interesting
experiments with the calorimeter and
human subjects in order to ascertain
the amount of energy that was derived
from food of various kinds, it was
realized that field Of investigation
of great Importance had been opened
up but at the same time one that re-
quired large amount of patient and
laborious research and analysis. This
work carried on in the chemical labor
atory of Wesleyan university received
some aid from the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. but Its posi-
bilities appeared so great that 1t com
mended itself to the Carnegie lnstltu-
tion, and for several years 1t has re-
ceived substantial support from that
organization. 1t was determined to es-
tablish nutrition laboratory in spe-
cial building designed for this pur-
pose. In order to study nutrition prob
lens from as many sides as possible.
1t was essential that the proposed
laboratory should be near hospital.
and accordingly 1t was located in Bos-
ton near the new Harvard University
Medical school, ON land purchased from
the Harvard corporation. The build
ing, which has recently been COM
pleted, represents, with the ground on
which it stands. an outlay OF about
100000, in addition to the apparatus
which is now being installed. The ma
ture of the experiments involves the
confinement Of a person in calori-
meter or enclosed compartment for a
given period and measuring the car
bon dioxide, water vapor, and heat
given off by the subject. as we'll as
the food consumed and the nature OF
the resulting products. All of this
represents a vast amount of chemical
analysis, but the results are most prac-
teal and helpful. Prof. F. G. Benedict,
who is the director Of the nutrition
laboratory, has recently applied the
calorimetric method to pathological as
we'll as normal subjects and his inves-
LEGATIONS promise to aid materially

man to confusion by citing the exam
pies of the great dancers of the past.
In classical as we'll as Biblical times,

beneath the dignity of the greatest
men. David danced before the ark,
and Socrates and Plato somewhat de-
spised those who could not dance with
ease and grace. The famous Sully,
