Prot. A. Lawrence Lowell, in bill

Prof. A. Lawrence Lowell, in his
new and elaborate treatise on the
government Of England, explains how
and why it is that the rule Of the up
per classes is still as popular with tho
great mass Of the English people a. It
IL to-day 1t is due, he tells US, to the
popular respect which the representa-
tive men Of the upper classes com
mand by generally unstained reputa.
ton for probity of character. There
are exceptions. Of course, but as .
rule they maintain clean and upright
standing. II this reputation were to
be seriously impaired, the ruling class
would be promptly swept from power.
1t is high character and tha popular
appreciation of 1t that holds the su.
premacy.

The Cheap Show EVIL.

The action of the council last night
IN refusing to renew a license for q
moving picture show of which serious
complaints had been made proves that
the aldermen have the proper view Of
this subject. asserts the Duluth
(Minn.) Evening Herald. The cheap
shows which have swarmed into all
cities in the past few years have
given rise to considerable annoyance
and have caused city authorities more
trouble than they are worth. As q
rule they are located in cheap, flimsy
buildings, where there is great danger
OF fire. and even greater danger of
panic in case Of false alarms of fire.
Exits are few and difficult and fire pro-
lection inadequate. Besides, there is
IA constant temptation to- stimulate in.
'terest in these affairs by the introduc.
ton OF obscene pictures, and the ex.
ipectation Of this draws a very undesir-
able class Of patrons, making many of
these places centers of grave social
dangers. There is no reason why reg
ulations for the protection Of audi
ences should be less rigid In these
places than in larger theaters. There
should always be plenty of exits. and
the requirements as to fire protection
should be ample. Especially important
rs the necessity Of guarding against
panic. Last Saturday in st. Paul the
fickering Of picture films in the dark
caused false alarm of fire at a mov-
ing picture show, and a catastrophe
was narrowly averted. These places,
which are unwelcome features of city
life at their best, should be watched
carefully. This il the tendency every
where. Chicago in one day recently
wiped out fifty Of its cheap shows.

devoted himself to scientific research
for the good Of his people. Becoming
deeply impressed with the importance
OF fisheries to large number Of his
subjects, he determined to study the
distribution and habits of the different
kinds of fish in the Portuguese seas.

on his yacht, named Amelia, after his
queen, personally experimenting the
work Of sounding. dredging, the COL

But his services were not confined to
the ocean, for he took an active inter-

agricultural people. Dressed like one

to prepare complete manual of the
birds of Portugal, and published two
sections on the thrushes and warblers,
containing notes on each bird, with his
observations on its first appearance
and departure, locality and habits, and
80 large colored plates. The results
of his oceanographic campaigns are
given in six volumes, the title-pages
