CONSERVATION

The Outlook for March reports that
in February the North American Con-
servation Conference convened at
Washington I'm his recent letter to
the Governor General Of Canada and
to the President of Mexico, inviting
them to send representatives to a con-
ference, ITO meet and consult with re-
preventative Of the State and other
departments of the Government and
the National Conservation Commits
sion" President Roosevelt outlined as
the purpose of the conference the con-
sideration of mutual interests inyoi-
we'd in the conservation of natural re-
sources" and the preparation of "a gen
eral plan adapted to promote the wei
fare of the nations concerned The
invitation was cordially accepted. The
regular sessions were held morning
and afternoon for three days
Perhaps the most forceful feature of
the Presidents address is found in
the following words
With nations whose boundaries march
along a great extent of land frontier
as with Canada, the United States, and
Mexico. there are necessarily large
tracts of land i'm which the welfare OF
the people depends upon the action NOT
only of one country, but of the neigh
boring country. This. of course, is es-
pecially true where our streams are
concerned You cannot cut down the
forests on the headwaters of an in
ternational stream without having it
hurt both nations. | am anxious to
do all that in me lies to help you gen
tlemen in getting our several peoples
to come together with the idea OF
working in harmony for the common
good Instead of working each to get
something at the expense of the other.
Ultimately each of us will profit i'm
measrrably if, instead of striving to
advance by trampling down the other,
each strives to advance by joining with
the other for the common advance
ment
1t was hoped that the recommended
ton of the conferees would result in
some form of legislative action for the
common good.
President Roosevelt expressed "A de-
termination to call a world conference
to meet next September at the Hague.

During the Chapman Alexander meet
ings in Boston the newspapers gave
such vivid descriptions that people all
over New England were kindled into
revival spirit by reading them, and
as result many came from places one
or two hundred miles distant to attend
the meetings. A minister created an
audible smile by saying that the un-
converted were already aroused in his
community and he supposed the church
members would finally wake up One
woman arose and said, 81 live in New
Hampshire, 16S miles from Boston, and

Dr. Francis e. Clark, President of

ening, writes as follows:
Il rejoice more than words can ex-
press in the great religious awakening
that has come to Boston, under the
lead of DR.. Chapman, Mr.. Alexander

so sound, so strong, so free from every

evening. In speaking of his visit to
representative of the Silver State

~ visited all the principal cities

.ioyable time. The factories are all
running, and as a consequence money
is beginning to loosen up.
"The wool market is quite but
firm. However, manufacturers are a
little uneasy over the threatened re-
duction in the tariff on wool. An Ell
fort is being made to have the tariff
reduced from IL to $ cents per pound,
and if this is accomplished, the mar
ket will be unsettled for some little
time.n

Inasmuch as the rates for the cleo
tric current vary widely, depending
on the cost of generation, competition,
ETC., it is impossible to state the exa.t
cost of operating electric heating dew
ices, until their rates are known. But
knowing these rates, it is possible to
calculate running costs to a nicely
that is quite impossible in other sys.
TENS. Catalogues always specify the
watt consumption of the various dew
ices because current is sold at so many
cents per kilowatt hour. A kilowatg
hour is the consumption of 1000 watts
for one hours time or of ! watt for
1000 hours time. Thus. if device,
rated at 500 watts, is used / hour, the
consumption is one-half kilowatt- hour.
A small water heater is rated at 300
watts. In minutes it will boil a
pint of water Let us see what the
cost would be at 10 cents per kilo
watt hour The 800 watts is three
tenths of a kiIowatt and it uses this
amount for one-half hour. The con
sumption, then, would be one-fortieth
kilowatt hour and the cost of opera
tion is seen to be one-fortieth of ten
cents Of one-fourth cent.
In all electric heating devices the
heating is effected by passing cur
rents through resistance wires imbed
ded in cement or other suitable in
sulating material.
Electric air heaters or radiators,
are used for some special purposes.
These heaters are designed to con
sumo from 1000 to 5000 watts. In es-

customary to allow 3 watts per cubic

LATEST GOSSIP AT
GOTHAM

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-New York's
annual revelry-the celebration of
the birth of the New Year-is likely
to be much tanner affair in the flu
ture if the reform plans of united
clergy can temper it. This carnival
of dissipation was carried to such an
extreme this year that it brought an
instant protest from the pulpit, ia
which the more sober element of the
gay metropolis has since joined. Be
ginning with a denunciation on Sun
day, January 3, by a prominent Jew
ish rabbi, similar denunciations Cf
this riot of designations have come
from Protestant and Catholic clergy
men, and unless their ire cools mean
time New York jewellers will have
considerable difficulty in satisfying
their seemingly unquenchavble thirsts
on the morn of New Years in the
future. Unless the writer's spectacles
are defective, he sees goodness ahead
instead of "gaiety,' as New York
saw on the eve of 1909, or, at worst,
something like the celebration of a
New England "home- coming' as
compared with a Babylonian festival;
and these two events are not exactly
alike.
And why shouldn't there be a
tempering of this annual follyf is a
question which may well be asked
Any person of either sex over 2l
years of age who chanced on New
Years eve just past to peer through
the windows of any of a score of
cafes that line Broadway might have
had cause to blush for the revelers
within. That there was murmur of
disapproval throughout the land
where the story of this "feast" was
told in the press dispatches from
Manhatten was not to be wondered at.
why do they do it, these busy
workers of 364 days in the yearso is
another moral question. The answer
follows: "Let any callow youth or
gray-beard, for that matter, fill him
self up with the fanciful promises of
red wine and he is apt to forget the
disapproval of the old folks and that
he had Sunday school bringing up.'
It's all a mistaken idea of giving
vent to the call of pleasure. This

agent who vie in the metropolis to
make their respective brands popular
with the drinkers. Each New Years
eve with them is but an opportunity
to food the much-frequented cafes
with the wines and whiskies they rep
resent. A typical story by way Of
illustration will not be amiss.
Shortly after the passing Of mid
night, December 81, 1908, had ushered
in the dawn of the New Year, 1909,
there were seen in two prominent
Broadway cafes two of these agents
known to fame along the "Great
White Way''-one the representative
of widely advertised brand Of
champagne and the other the agent
OF an almost equally-we known
brand of whisky. They were ordering
up their favorite brands, and distrib-
uting whole bottles among the seated
diners, with that fellowship born Of
long acquaintance with the recipi-
ents. The mere formality Of intro
duction to those who received these
gift bottles was not to be considered.
The point was that everybody must
drink-drink to the health and long
life of everybody else; drink to the
joy of the occasion; but drink-that
was the point. This seen to and the
agents duty was done; he was
happy. Was it any wonder then that
in this food of whisky mixed with
wine staid business men, brokers,
bankers, actor folk, .office boys and
others forgot the duties Of the NOR
row; that they mingled brother and
sister like with one another; that at
that particular moment certain ordi-

ceived sudden affections for the wives
and sweethearts of their neighbors at
adjacent tables. and that demure ac-
