and will not fill all the demands. al least for a number of years
 Now we are told of another device from which much is expected. Ac- cording to The Tinin. O.. Times. Murry A. Temple. q local railroad man of many years experience. has invented substitute for the wooden tie, which, that paper thinks. will bring about a revolution in railway construction. The Temple device Is a continuous steel plate twenty Inches wide on which the rails are laid and connected at Inter- vals by 'L" bars thus preventing spreading. The steel plates are laid d. rectiy on the roadbed. ana ballast is placed between the rails. covering the connecting bars. to prevent the track from slipping aside.
 It remains to be seen whether satis- factory results win follow this at- tempt to replace wooden ties. We learn that experienced traekmen who have examined and experimented with the Temple substitute have pronounced 1t practical. but that can only be deter mined after full and complete trial under all conditions. An observant contemporary thinks that while this plan might do on straight roads and with light trains 1t could not be made effective where heavy trains at high speed have to turn sharp curves.
 These are questions which can only be settled by thorough experimentation under all conditions. The two other objections that we have seen refer to cost and the liability of steel to rust. The first objection will disappear if the method is satisfactory in other ways. and if the latter objection is removed. If the plan proves a suo- cess otherwise there win be a method found to preserve the plates from rust. and If that can be done the first cost will be offset by the permanency of the substitute. whether or not this device will prove success remains to be determined. but certainly some sub- stitute for wooden orossties must De found.

Walter wellman still declares that he is going to make an6ther effort to wing his way to the Pole. He doesn't propose. however. to make the start before August l. and that means. in our opinion, that he will not start at all. When that date arrives he will probably have some further prep arations to make. and by the time ev- erythinE Is ready he will decide that 1t is too late to start with safety. We don't think the Pole is in any danger from Walter.

THE QUESTION OF CRossTrEs.

One of the serious problems of rail- road construction now is the question of crossties, and 1t is one that Is caus- ing a great deal of trouble. When railroad building was in It's infancy, and up to a comparatively recent date, there was no trouble on this score. Not only was wood plentiful and cheap. hut the railroad builders could select the very best that could be found, and use none but that which possessed last ing qualities.
 It Is very different now. as the buiId- CTS of railways are finding to their cost and great perplexity. The tim Der supply of the entire country is dis appearing with disQuieting rapidity. It Is already difficult to get crossties. and what is equally discouraging. they are compelled to take almost any kind of timber they can get. All kinds of soft woods are used. with the result that their duration Is brief. and repairs of tracks are going on all the time. The life of a soft wood tie Is almost ephemeraI.
 Many attempts have been made to find a substitute for wood. but none has proven satisfactory. Metal and concrete have been tested but with out satisfactory results. So far noth- Ing but wood has given satisfaction. and wood will soon be unobtainable even though replanting should be re- sorted to. as Is being done in some places. That is only a partial remedy,

.4TAe Greatest Glory of Any People"

 ''If tomorrow this nation should be ob1iterated, if the earth itself should be destroyed, the greatest glory of any people would be left in these imper- lshable words:

 How many of our young voters, now watching for the first time the work of tariff revision with greed at the helm, will make up their mind to stand firm for honest revision all their lives long no man can tell, but the number will be large. With every fresh case of the dominance of tariR favoritism over wholesome self-reli- ance, the army of opposition will in- crease.
 Aldrich and his kind think they are winning a huge victory. More than likely their victory Is of that kind which it is said that one more like it win spell ruin.

stone His wish was losally respected, and today men have nought but un. certain tradition to guide them as to the exact spot where his mortal re- mains were laid. During the week from the second to the tenth of July the city of Geneva will honor the four -hundredth anniversary of his birth by the unveiling of a monument to his memory, a monument representing the offerings of the whole civilized world. Yet the exact spot of his burial will not be known. The chair in which he sat, and the pulpit in which he preach ed are preserved in Geneva. and will figure in the ceremonies of the occa- sion.
 Calvanfsm had its heroic age and it's martyrs in the days of the French Huguenots. the Dutch Republic, the Scotch Covenanters, and the English Puritans. Their blood was freely spill ed in the cause they held sacred, and they welcomed America as a city of refuge from the relentless prosecutions of Europe. The historian Bancroft. who was not a Calvinist, declared Shat American liberty itself might be traced directly to the little republic of Gen eva, and through 1t to Calvin.
 The doctrines of the Geneva theo- logian first found footing on American soil through the Huguenots brought to the Carolinas and to Florida in 1662 and 1865, through the efforts of Ad- miral Coligny. The Carolina project was early abandoned, and of those at St. Augustine. the Spaniards left only enough to tell the tale. The second attempt to give calvanism a secure footing in the New World was at New Amsterdam, and in this effort the foundations of the city of New York were laid The first congregation hold l ing to the Presbyterian system of doc trine and policy to be organized on American soil was the Dutch Reformed Church at New Amsterdam, tn 1898.

Some Of Dave Hilrs Sarcasm

David B. Hill, former governor of
and senator from New York, has a Sc.
cluded halter somewhere in the state
who makes his high hats after elab-
crate plans drawn by Mr.. Hill many
years ago, and not changed since.
One night Gov. Odell of New York
was giving a reception in Albany, and
Mr.. Roosevelt, then elected vice-presi.
dent, met Mr.. Hill on the steps of
the New York executive mansion.
Roosevelt wore a black rough rider
hat and Hill had one of his peculiar
skypieces.
Senator" said Roosevelt, you
should wear hat like this one that
have on. They are much easier on
the head, preserve the hair and are al
together better than silk ones"
Mr.. Hill looked at the coming vice
president. MY dear sir" he said az
haven't worn a hat like that since I

DEVOTION TO RULER
kc aEANs SHOW HIGH DEGREE OF
PATRIOTISM.
Had Decided Freely to Give Their
Lives to Warn Emperor Of
What They Considered
Grave Danger.

Out OF Korea comes a story of the
fanatical devotion shown to the shad-
ow emperor of the land by those of
his subjects who still resent the rule
OF the Japanese and view each move
OF their virtual masters with deep
suspicion. In this instance several pa.
triots were willing to let themselves
be run over by railroad train II only
his majesty might be warned by their
death that he was flying into the trap
set for his feet by Prince Ito.
a month ago the emperor announced
that he was going to leave Seoul
and take a trip to Fusan, the most
easterly city OF the peninsula and
wholly Japanese settlement. This
was an unprecedented thing for the
emperor to do. since for countless gen.
erations Korean kings and emperors
had been content to sit in the hall of
congratulations in the Mulberry palace
at Seoul and let subjects from other
parts Of the land come to them to pay
homage. Despite the protests OF the
patriots Prince Ito, who was engineer
Ing the trip, ruled and the emperor set
out over the Seoul Fusan railway to
visit the seaport at the other terminal.
IL became known by the Koreans
along the route that the Japanese bat
ueship AzumR was to anchor in the
hsrbor OF Fusan and that a part OF the
welcoming ceremonies that were to
occur In Fusan was to be a luncheon
to the emperor on board the ship.
Immediately the rumor grew to the
hot
had the emperor safely on the Azuma's
deck anchor would be hoisted and the
last Of the line of Korean rulers would
be whisked on to Japan, there to die
in q dungeon.
Perhaps the simple Koreans had
some justification for believing that
the crafty resident-general would like
to execute a coup like that; certainly
the hand OF the Japanese had made
such startling moves on the imperial
chess board at Seoul that even a du-
plication OF the murder that was done
In the Mulberry palace some years ago
ut the instance of a Japanese minister
would not seem improbable to the Ko-
reans
At any rate the emperor had his
luncheon on board the battleship in
Fusan harbor and was put safely back
on his own territory again. During
the course of the luncheon Prince Ito
made conversation by telling the pup
pet ruler that he had learned that at
Taiku, one of the large towns on the
line Of the railway, a party of pa
triots. convinced that the emperor
was going to his doom, had determined
to lay themselves on the rails as his
train approached the station. They
believed that by this act Of sacrifice
their monarch might be made to see
that he was approaching immediate
danger.
The patriots had been dissuaded by
a very material japanese policeman.
