Mrs. Cleveland at Mothers Congress,

Mrs. Cleveland at Mothers Congress
One of the most distinguished recent
visitors to Washington was Mrs. Gro
yer Cleveland, who attended the Moth
ers' Congress as a delegate. Many
greeted her with pleasant memories Of
the days when, under the glitter of the
old chandelier, Frances Folsom became
a bride in the East Room of the White
House, where she reigned for eight
years as it's gracious mistress. Her
home at Princeton is regarded as a
charming example Of the greatest
achievement of the American wife and
mother.
The years have been kind to Mrs.
Cleveland, and her counsel as a dele
gate to the congress was listened to
with the interest and attention which
her words certainly merited Mrs.
Cleveland has been appointed by Gov
ernor Stokes of New Jersey as president
Of the State Village for Epileptics, a
State institution doing a useful work.,

CEMENT FROM VOLCANOES.

Japanese Discover Use for the
Ashes Which Ruin Farming Land.
The saving Japanese, who are forced
to play close game with life because
Of the narrowness of their islands and
the tremendous yearly increase in the
population, have learned to take cum
ming advantage of every by-product of
nature says the New York Sun.
They rake the sea beaches for sea-
weed to use as fertilizer and grub the
mountains for twigs to burn into char
coal. Now they are turning the many
and troublesome volcanoes to good pur-
pose by manufacturing the volcano ash
into cement To them belongs the
credit Of discovering that the scoria
that swings down from volcano vents
and sears the neighboring countryside
may at least be tolerated, if it has to
come, as an economic asset.
G. III. Scidmore, American consul at
Nagasaki, has reported to the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor at Wash
ington that japanese company organ
lied to work volcano ash into cement
had already paid a dividend of 8 per
cent for the first half year on capital
Of 100000 yen and that it had more or
ders In sight than it could fill. The
Mitsu Bishi and Kawasaki dockyards,
the two great privately owned dock
yards of the empire; the government
naval yards at SaSebo and the Waka-
matsu Iron Foundry Company were all
being supplied with the new ash ce-
ment.
The government had recently granted
a contract for 10000 bags of the stuff
to be used in the new harbor works
at Keeling. Quantities have already
been exported to north China, Formosa
and Korea.
The ash, which is obtained from two
Of the great craters in the so-called
Japanese Alps, running through the
main island of HondO, near the west
coast, is ground and screened at the
new company's factory, and because Of
the nature of the composition it needs
nothing but water to become very good
cement. One asset the new company
can count upon-the supply Of the
crude material is inexhaustible, and
the more that is carted away the more
land will be uncovered for the strug
CLING farmer.
The discovery Of the new cement
strikes one more American product
from the list of orr exports which had
been necessaries for Japan. The Port
land cement manufactured in Oregon
and Washington was the only cement
In use in Japan before the keen Japs
turned the scoria into a paying propo-
Sition.

Electric Line to AIhambra.

The city of Granada Is now connected
with the palace of the Alhambra by
means Of an electric tramway, accord
ing to the Temps of Paris.
Work on the repairs and reservations
of the interior of the Alhambra is be-
ing rapidly and most successfully push
ed forward by the new conservator of
the palace. A part of the necessary
funds has been furnished by the Span
ish government.
There is at present a growing move
ment in Spain in favor of making seri-
Gus efforts to preserve many of the his
torical monuments which are in dam
ger of falling into ruin At the same
time patriotic lovers of art are becom-
ing alive to the danger of the loss to
the country of many art objects and
particularly of the historical treasures
which are owned by the churches and
converts. A bill for the prevention Of
the sale of these objects and, above all,
Of their expectation, will be presented
to the CorteZ before long. Efforts will
be made to embrace within it's opera
ton the possessions of private persons
which may have national, artistic and
historical value.

There was issued recently in England
a report by the local government board
concerning tuberculosis which contain
ed some interesting statistics on the
death rate from the disease In the
United Kingdom taken in connection
with the statistics Of paupers. 1t was
shown that the mortality from con-
sumption had declined from 3.99 per
thousand living in 1888 to 2.77 per
thousand In 1855 and to 1.15 per thou
sand In 1906, an actual decrease in
deaths from 59,025 to 39,746 In sixty
eight years. A second series of figures
indicated that during fifty years the
ratio of paupers per 1000 in England
and Wales had dropped from 4S to %,
while the death rate from consumption
had declined from % to 10 in the
10000. Comparisons were given also
for Scotland and Ireland. In Scotland
the ratio Of paupers had fallen from
% to 13 and of deaths by consumption
from 40 to %. In Ireland, where the
ratio of paupers has risen in forty
SCdIb AIOHl II 10 20, luc ucdlu IdlS
from consumption has increased from
II to 20. These figures do not estab-
lish direct connection between power
ty and the disease, but they are highly
suggestive, and they permit of some
CONGRATULATIONS that are instructive to
all civilized countries. AS regards
Great Britain, 1t is evident that the
statistics can be explained by immense
" improved social and industrial con-
ditiOns. The era that has brought
about sanitation, better housing, a re-
duction in the hours of labor and an
increase in the rewards of labor has
saved life and diffused comfort and
prosperity at the same time. If the
value Of the change could be estimated
in terms of money 1t would be found
that there was an immense gain to the
people as a whole from expenditures
and concessions that were considered
ruinOus by many mistaken opponents of
progress. The nation has been lifted
up except in Ireland, and the excep-
tiOn-is something for English statesmen
to ponder over.

Violence, kidnapping and murder are
not the objects of the Black Hand,

papers should charge them with the ten
crimes they do commit and the thou

This fault is, of course, overcome In
the laced shoe, but the latter requires
more labor to fasten. A shoe-fastener
patented by a New Jersey man, and
shown in the illustration, appears to
be a good substitute for either, al
though it lacks beauty. This fastener
IS Of metal, consisting of a tongue,
which is fastened to the shoe on one
side of the opening and the clamp on
the opposite side. The tongue is form
ed Of several wedge-shaped hooks. The
tongues can thus be connected to the
clamps at any desired point, and the
flaps of the Shoe drawn together TO any
desired length. The fastener can be
employed also on other articles of APP
parel, such as corsets, gloves, etc.

front end of the box forms knife,
over which the plug of tobacco rests
when it is to be cut. The cover is also
provided with a knife at one end,
which co-Operates with the knife on
the box. In one of the compartments
is a small carrier" by which the to-
bacco, as consumed, is moved forward
toward the knife. When the cover is
raised a spring forces the tobacco up
above the knife. The tobacco is then
moved forward by the carrier until
a chew of the desired size is over the
knife. BY closing the cover the piece
of tobacco is cut off. The other COM
partment is for a reserve piece of to-
bacco, the latter being transferred
when necessary.
