The center of population in the United Stated in 1900 was six miles southeast of Columbus, Ind. In 1880 it was eight miles west by south of Cincinnati. Since 1z9O it has moved 519 miles. In 1900 the center of negro population was near Rome, Ga, and travelling gulf ward. If Alaska and other recent island accessions to our territory are excluded, the center of area of the United Stated is in Smith coun- ty. in Northern, Kansas, about three miles north of Reamsville. and some fifteen miles north by west of Smith Center. But if Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines are included, then this country's center of area is out in the Pacific ocean, west of the northern part of the coast of Oregon, and south of the south coast of Alaska.

The Dalai-Lama appears to be nearer 40
years of age than 30, has a receding fore
head, angular face. a thin, dark mus
tache, and wore sun glasses. He was
only visible for few seconds and seemed
rather frightened as he came out. He
gave a hasty look and greeting to the
official delegated to give him the first
welcome, was shuffled into the sedan
chair, and carried to the pavilion. He
remained there just long enough to re-
ceive greetings and give his blessing to
the assembled Chinese officials He was
then quickly thrust into his chair again,
and hurried off to the imperial palace,
surrounded by large Thibetan and Chi

REORGANIZATION of the Navy

Mr.. Reuterdahl, who once scared the
country out of years growth by an
nouncing that the armor plate on our
warships did not go far enough below
the water line to be protective, again
discusses the navy in an article In
Pearson's Magazine for the month of
December.
Mr.. Reuterdahl does not so much
present his own views as he does those
of President Roosevelt. The President
wants not only fleet in both oceans,
but he wants reorganization of the
navy department When all this is done
and the Panama canal is opened the
United States, says the President. can
look forward to years of peace and
prosperity
The navy mas not been reorganized.
whereas the army has been. The re-
suit is there is not efficiency in the
navy. Many things are lacking. The
President thinks the ships should be
kept in continuous training. We must
learn, he says, what preparedness is.
1t will be seen that he is not mucn
behind Captain Hobson in demanding
a navy that would stand for us in
both oceans. He wants a powerful
feet in each ocean, and that means a
doubling of the present number off
battleships, to say nothing about the
replacement of old ships with new
ones. Preparedness seems to be the
word in all countries that have a shore
line. Germany has it and is living up
to it, and SO is England, and so is ia
pan, and to a certain extent so are
France and Italy.

Reform In China

The RENTING by this country of
about $14,000,0OO of debt due from
China has brought the two countries
into friendly relations. and the sum in
question will probably be more than
made good in trade between the two
countries. The money was allotted to
the United States at the end of the
Boxer war, and it was in excess of
what we had a right to take. The in
debtedness was therefore RENTED,
andl China has sent princely COM
mission to this country to thank in a
formal manner Uncle Sam.
This will result in closer relations
between the two countries, and perhaps
during the stay in this country OF
Tang Shao Ii new commercial treaty
will be negotiated that will be benefi
cial to both.
II seems now to be reasonably cer
tain that China's new rulers will d.

MARKET FOR OLD HATS.

From London Tit-Bits.
The group of islands known as the Nico-
bars about $50 miles south of the Anda-
mans, has been but little explored though
the manners and customs of the inhab-
itants offer very interesting peculiarites
to the ethnologist
One of the most noticeable of these and
one which seriously affects the trade of
the islands is the passion for old hats,
which, without exception, pervades the
whole framework of society. No one is
exempt from it. Young and old, chief and
subject alike, endeavor to outvie each
other in the singularity of shape, no less
than in the number of old hats they can
acquire during their lifetime.
On fine morning at the Nicobars it is
no unusual thing to see the surface Of
the ocean in the vicinity of the islands
dotted over with canoes, in each of which
the noble savage, with nothing on but the
convenient slip Of cloth and tall white
hat with a black band, may be watched
catching fish for his daily meal Second
hand hats are in most request new ones
being looked upon with suspicion and dis
favor.
This curious passion is so well known
that traders from Calcutta make annual
excursions to the Nicobars with cargoes
of old hats which they barter for cocoa
nuts, the only product Of these islands.

IN A DUBLIN CEMETERY.

From the London Telegraph.
A pathetic story of a child's heroism
is told by a Dublin gentleman. Re-
Gently he proposed to drive with his
wife to the beautiful Glasnevin ceme-
terry Calling his son, a bright little
boy some years old, he told him to
get ready to accompany them. The
child's countenance fell and the father
said:
Don't you want to go, Willie?"
The little lip quivered, but the child
answered, "Yes, papa, if you wish"
The child was strangely silent during
the drive, and when the carriage drove
up to the entrance he chung to his
mothers side and looked up in her face
with pathetic usefulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
shaded avenues, looking at the in
criptions on the last resting places of
the jewellers in the beautiful city OF
the dead. After an hour or so thus
spent they returned to the carriage and
the father lifted his little son to his
seat. The child look ed surprised, drew
breath of relief and asked:
"why, am I going back with your"
"Of course you are; why not?"
II thought when they took little boys
to the cemetery they left them there,
said the child.
Many man does not show the hero
ism in the face of death that this child
evinced in what to him had evidently
been a summons to leave the world.

MASTER BEeeAR AND HIS DuPEs

From the New York World.
That William Abbott Foster Is a man
of imagination the record of his 10
years of in-and-out going proves. I'M
agination in his case is Grant and
degraded. but it exists. A psyehical
study of this master-b eggar and his
career should furnish wonder-story
of precocious impulse coupled with per-
nicious zeal.
Sometimes in his begging letters Eos
ter has sunk near to the level of the
panhandler. But no panhsndler has
ever risen to the exploits of bargain
ing for millions dollar yachts, hiring
special Pullman trains and negotiating
leases fer expensive whole floors and
tall ofle buildings. Foster was most
ordinary when he wrote whining epis-
ties to men like Carnegie and Rookie
Teller.
Remarkable as is the case of Foster
himself, however, what shall be said of
the ease with which during his 10
years he found many dupes? His own
dashes SAVIOR not infrequently of aber-
ration. But like all operators of his
class, he fooled men cleverer than him
self Human nature. it appears, must
constantly repeat itself in the fact
that 1t furnishes always victims for the
ready letter-writer and the seller of
gold bricks.
After all the ages of trying to know
itself, mankind misses still the meas
ure of it's own credulity

BLOWING IN The YuLE.

From Jacob A. Ris' "Yule-Tide in the
Old Town" in the Christian Century
Blowing in the 5nle from the grim
old tower that had stood 500 years
against the blasts of the north sea
was one OF the customs of the old town
that abide, however it fares with the
Mise; that 1 know. At sun-up, while
yet the people were at breakfast, the
town band climbed the many steep lad
ders to the top of the tower, and up
there, in fair weather or foul--and
sometimes it blew great guns from the
wintry sea-they played four old
hymns, one to each corner of the COM
pass, so that no one was forgotten.
They always began with Luthers
sturdy challenge, "A Mighty Fortress
Is Our God" while down below we
listened devoutly.
There was something both weird and
beautiful about those far-away strains
in the early morning light of the
northern winter, something that was
not OF earth and that suggested to my
child's ina gination the angels songs
on far Judean hills. Even now, after
all these years. the memory of it does
that. 1t could not have been because
the music was SO rare, for the band
was made up of small storekeepers
and artisans who thus turned an hon.
est penny on festive occasions. In
congruously enough, L think the Of
fetal town mourner, who babe people
to funerals, was one OF them. 1t was
like the burghers' guard, the colonel
of which--we thought him at least
general, because of the huge brass
sword he trailed when he marched at
the head of his men-was the town
tailor, very small but very martial
man. But whether or no, it was beau
tiful I have never heard music since
that so moved me. When the last strain
died away, same the big bells with
tn cir deep voices that sang far out
over field and heath, and our yule was
fairly under way.

RIGHTLY to be great
What the Turbine Has Done

The Lusitania and the Mauretania,
each about 700 feet long, have been in
use year and they have demonstrated
the possibility of the 25-knot ship from
shore TO shore. In other words, they
steam across the rolling seas at an av-
erage pace of nearly 2S miles an hour,
land measure. No other transatlantic
steamer line has been able to make a
record equal to that. The Germans are
now outclassed, and so are reciprocal.
Ing engines, in the transatlantic serv-
Ice.
In the navies of the world the turbine
Is thoroughly established, because it
gives speed where speed is oftentimes
important and is always desired. The
Indomitable of the English navy has
transatlantic record of 26 knots, and it
is reported that the Invincible did two
knots better in an eight-hour trial. The
feclprocating engines are no longer IA
vored in the warships of the leading
nations
Thus far the Lusitania and Maure-
tania are the largest commercial yes

There are rumors of 1000-foot liners,
but none of them have advanced be-
yond the stage of suggestion. The 1000
foot ship equipped with turbines is.
however coming. Such ship will be
longer and heavier than anything
a1oat, and new docking facilities will
have to be provided, at least in New
York
