Smoke Prevention in Cities.

From the Engineering Magazine.
That the problem of smoke abatement
is of great Importance is evidenced by the
fact that such cities New York Bos-
ton philadelphia Chicago, Detroit. Clevc-
land and Milwaukee have passed smoke
ordinances and appointed smoke inspec-
tors. Whether such ordinances are legal
or not depends upon the distinction be-
tween smoke that can be abated and
smoke that cannot-i mother words, upon
the distinction between necessary nui-
sances and statutory nuisances. Whether
society can pass laws TO prevent those
things which are of themselves perhaps
harmless. but which in a large community
are depreciatory OF the interests of others,
Ii is not the purpose of this article TO dis
cuss If. however, ii can be demon
strated that by the scientific abatement,
or prevention of smoke. not only Is the
community benefited but a large saving
Is made to the steam user himself by the
increased economy of his plant, then we
have gone TAR toward the proper solution
OF the problem. To accomplish such a
result, however. the enforcement of the
plants should be under the direction of
officials possessing the requisite technical
and practical acquaintance with the sub
ject. The whole trouble is that both sides
have been obstinate. and there has been
a lack of both wise supervision and
proper intelligence The cities have been
imposed upon by smoke producers who
possessed sufficient political influence to
dodge the issue, and manufacturers or
steam users have been harassed by worth
less statutes or ordinances and still more
worthless smoke inspectors.

"MATUsHKA VOLGA."
Melody of Sorrow Heard in Prison

From the Travel Magazine.


There is an air So popular in Russia
that 1t is even more familiar than their
national anthem to the people Of that
great mysterious empire. l have heard
it in all parts of the czars dominions,
from the Bette sea to Bering strait and
from Archangel to the Caspian, in the
elittering palaces of Petersburg and In
foul prison dens of Siberia.
1t is simple melody in the minor key,
suggestive, like most Slav music, of sor-
row and unrest and it is called Ma

cryptic reason every Russian, be he noble
or nihiist, is taught from childhood to
regard this great river IN the light of a
maternal relative. Yet the river is full
of sad associations, for convicts formerly

For Mother NolGa'' was their last link

difficult for conscientious leading man

ample Orme Caldara of the Columbia

tennis. or boating, or athletics of any

personal in character than is that upon
President Taft. OF course. there is no
pretense Al comparison of the impor-

Irresistible demand for personal service
