The men with the spyslasses have fur

Arc Lights on Suburban Cars.

The Unattainable.

Bill Biffins yearned to satisfy
The men who criticise.
When he resolved that he would try
To make a name and rise
They said he was too young as yet.
A few years onward rolled
And then with courteous regret
They said he was too old.
He once was slender as the limb
That grows upon tree;
Then broader outlines came to him,
Quite comforting to see.
Approval still he fails to win;
His friends assure him that
While once he may have been too thin
At present he's too fat.
He eats too much or not enough;
He's over sad Or gay.
His language is bit too rough
Or too ornate, they say.
No wonder that his frame of mind
Grows steadily more glum.
How can he ever hope to find
The happy medium?

enable the motormen to stop in time TO
avoid collisions. Most OF the suburban
streets and roads along which electric
cars are operated are poorly lighted. The
cars run at high speed. in order to satisfy
the traffic demands Intoxicated men are
prone to seek rest on the rails. Weary
pedestrians often take to the space along
side the track Drivers take chances in
crossing car lines. The task of the motor
man in such circumstances is extremely
difficult his responsibility increasing with
the speed of the car and the darkness
of the night.
Since the searchlights were installed on
the local lines there has been immunity
from accidents of the sort constantly &C.
curing before. The bright rays have
warned people off the tracks or have dis
closed sleepers in time to enable the car
crews to remove them from danger. The
arc lamps do. it is true. shed ray that
is binding at close range, but 1t is al
ways within the power of an approaching
driver or chauffeur to slacken speed and
to proceed cautiously for the few moments
of cars passage, if the headlight tends
to obscure his own vision or to render
his position difficult. 1nasmuch as the
electric car cannot be swerved from the
rails. but must go ahead on It's own line,
it is a precaution of value to enable the
operator to know what is ahead of him
at all times.
AS the cars are now equipped the trac
ton companies virtually assume full re-
spOnsibility for whatever happens within
their own rights of way after dark. If the
use of the arc lamps Is prohibited by
competent authority that responsibility is
lessened, fact which will doubtless be
given full weight in the consideration of
any proposition to prohibit the lamps and
thus to decrease the motorman's powers
of observation and his scope of effective
preca ution.

has been the favOrite subject of specula-
ton. These occasional retdings of the
philosophers are unquestionably accounta-
bic for disturbances of terrestrial con-
dit!ons. There is undoubtedly close
connection between them and the meteor
illogical manifestations here. The Sc
quence of cause and effect is too plain to
be denied. But while astronomers are
agreed in the main that the sun spots
make trouble for all satellites of the great
orb, they are not agreed as to the rea-
sons nor indeed as to the precise effects
produced.
Photographs of sun spots show them
luminous envelope of the sun. showing
black center. These spots last many
weeks. steadily changing in shape and
in position on the suns face as 1t re-
wolves. Some remarkable photographs
have been taken of them and have per.
mtted a close study of their character
and movements. 1t has been noticed
that the spots are most numerous at in
tervals of eleven years. At one time it
was believed that there was a connection
between the development of sun spots
and the revolution of the planet Jupiter,
the period of which is somewhat less than
twelve years Later observations, how
ever. have shown that periodicity of the
sun spots and that of Jupiter do not
agree sufficiently to warrant any belief
in relationship between them, and the
present conclusion is that the cycle of
change in the spots is due to a round
of processes going on inside the sun it
self. 1t is the present hope Of science
that further observations of the sun spots
may yield a more exact knowledge of
the constitution of the great sphere. So
much has been done already since the
perfection of Galileo's telescope in the
study of solar blemishes that with the
riore precise instruments of modern times
it is believed that some definite conclu-
sion may soon be reached regarding the
real nature of the center of our cosmic
system.

Children ON the Streets.

A curfew law strictly enforced in Wash
ington would probably bring the parents
of young people to a vivid realization of
the dangers that have been run during
the years Of no restraint. 1t would cause
them to appreciate their own RESPONSE
bilities in the safeguarding of their Off
spring. Such law would send back to
the homes after a certain hour the chill
dren who are now free to run the streets
or to promenade the downtown thorough
fares. 1t would impose upon the elders
the obligation to supply some form of
home entertainment for the children who
are often, for lack of proper attractions,
tempted into the streets for diversion.
Many parents feel that their RESPONSE
bility to the child ends with the provision
OF shelter, clothing. food and occasional
drastic discipline. If the child is properly
QUILTED and schooled little pains is
taken, in many cases, to insure d whole
some development. Perhaps the child is
sent to Sunday school or church with
the thought that this is the limit of re-
ouirements. and yet no supervision is ex-
ercised over the associations outside of
school and church hours.
Close espionage Is not necessary in all
eases. If a child drifts out of compan-
1onship with the parents there is need of
something more subtle than a rigid pro-
hibition of the streets or a hard and fast
rule for returning home. Confidence must

England and Germany.

The situation between Germany and
England today is remarkable. On the
English side certain public men are goina
about, not only in their own country but
In the United States. proclaimins the i'm
minence of war and declaring that unless
England provides against that contingency
she will be involved in a desperate strug-
gle for her very existence within three
years Lord Charles Beresford, once the
Idol of the British public a type of
the men who have made the English
power supreme on the seas, has lost no
opportunity to declare his belief il the
oncoming of the conflict. Lord North-
cliffe, perhaps the most potent moider of
public opinion in Europe through his pub
lication of large number OF newspapers,
is performing the same service in the
course of his tour through this country.
Other Englshmen have called attention
to the lack of sufficient land and naval
equipment to withstand the onset for
which Germany Is secretly preparing.
Lord Roberts has declared that the Brit
lsh army is unfit for such service.
With all this frankness of warning on
the part of Englishmen there has been
practically no convincing assurance from
the German side against the prospect of
war. There may have been private guar
antees between kaiser and king, but the
public has not been advised Of them. If
Germany is in fact preparing for a cam
paign in 1912 the secret is being we'll kept.
There is no issue between the two coun-
tries today, but that fact does not insure
continued peace. The interests of both
countries are widespread and at several
points are overlapped. with a perennial
danger of conflict. There is always a
pos -bility of Anglo-German friction in
the anomalous conditions in the Balkans.
China may at any time furnish the pre-
text for an outbreak if either country SO
desires.
AS the case stands Germany is being
forced by the calamity prophets of Eng
land into the attitude of an aggressor. 1t
has been said that IL even a small body
of vociferOus men will undertake to cry
war loud enough and often enough war
will come. 1t seems at times as though
certain Englishmen were deliberately
seeking trouble in thus shouting their
warnings of danger into the ears of their
countrymen. Yet wise preparations for
way may be the best guarantee of peace,
and undoubtedly these pers stent pro-
Chalmers of evil are serving an excellen:
and patriotic purpose in urging military
and naval reforms which will give Eng
land that certain insurance against at
tack, an unmistakable preponderance of
fighting force. But with the finances of
the kingdom in a bad way and with a
prospect that a general election on the
budget issue may at any time be forced.
the efforts of those who are seeking to
compel an enlargement of the navy and
the army Of England are not at present
strongly promising of success.
