WoRLD-MEcHANIsM OF WHEAT
More Grain and More Efficient Or
ganization of Agencies Needed.

From Harper Weekly.
London has no elevators, and never
has had. although it buys more wheat
than any other city. 1t has six million
mouths to feed, so that the grain is
devoured as fast as it arrives. To give
bread To London would take the entire
crop of Indiana or Siberia. Neither are
there any elevators Of an Importance. in
Paris, Berlin or Antwerp. Whatever
wheat arrives at these cities is either
hurried to the mill or reshipped Wheat
is too precious in Europe TO be stored
for a year or for two years. as may hap
pen in Minnesota. Rotterdam has one
elevator only, and Of moderate size.
Neither Odessa nor Suina has any of
large proportions, for the reason that in
Odessa the labor unions have an I'M
conquerable prejudice against elevators
and in Sulina the grain is held only a
short time. and then forwarded else
where. This Sulina, a glance at the
map of Europe will show, Is the loneliest
of all the wheat cities. It stands on
heap of gravel at the mouth of the
Danube-an oasis of human life in a vast
marshy wilderness. The children born
there have never seen railway: but
/, 400 ships leave the stone docks of Sulina
every year laden with enough wheat to
feed London. Paris and Berlin. To find
the exact reverse of Sulina. we must go
to Buenos Ayres-the premier wheat city
of South America and the gayeSt of them
all Built up at first by the cattle trade
and now depending mainly upon wheat
this superb city has now become the top
most pinnacle of South American luxury
and refinement. 1t has several new
elevators erected by the railway COM
panies.
For every eighteen thousand pounds of
wheat that goes to the city, there will
go back to the farmer one pound of gold.
For every loaf of bread upon London
ers table, there will go a cent and a
half to the man behind the reaper. And
that the gold will come throbbing out
blood from the heart. and on its way
back and forth nourish the whole body
OF the nation.
More wheat and a more efficient organi-
cation Of wheat agencies-that is the
program Of the future. Already one I'M
successful effort has been made to hold
an international wheat congress; and the
second attempt may end more happily.
Now that the world has become so small
that q cable dispatch flashes completely
around 1t in twelve minutes. now that
there are forty-four nations united by
the Hague conferences and fifty-eight by
the Postal Union: now that war has
grown to be SO expensive that one can
non shot may cost as much as a college
education. and one battleship as much
as first-class university. it Is quite
probable that the march of cooperation
will continue until there is congress
and a central headquarters and tribunal
which will represent nothing less than
an international Fellowship of the wheat.

Evolution.
From the Atlantic Monthly.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
Evolution is nothing more or less than
the handspring of the universe. Grand
in It's simplicity. it is the one fundamental
fact on which all we know depends. From
its influence nothing can escape; for it
has fashioned everything, from nebula
to man. To appreciate 1t is to recognize
that the universe was not made from
without, but grew TO be what it is from
within. Not mechanism cunningly con-
triyed, the cosmos Is an organism that in
cludes both you and me.
In view of the simplicity, the universal
ity. the Importance of the fact the sur
prising thing Is that it should have es-
capped most mems recognition so long
For we find it through the ages realized
only by the master minds. Considering
that man stands confronted by instances
of it from his cradle to his grave one
is tempted to believe that the sole OBJ
ject exempt from it's working, the one
thing incapable of intelligent advance
is the mind of man himself Certainly
his self-bestowed title OF homo sapiens
can be only by brevet. hoped for honor
to which so far he has but caricaturally
attained Quickness of apprehension is
not his most marked trait, or he would
surely have suspected the sarcasm of
his scientific name. Yet considered from
the standpoint of evolution, the situation
is perhaps all one could expect. Trial
and error must needs have taken long
to get him where he is.

What to Read.

From the London Chronicle
What rules, If any, should guide the
average reader in his selection of books ?
Emerson gives three: Il. Never read any
book that is not a year old - Never
read any but famed books. ;. Never read
any but what you like: or in Shake
speare's phrase:
No profit goes where is no pleasure
ta'en:
In brief. sir. study what you most ar
feet" All this sounds little austere, and
would appear TO rule out the lighter sort
of fiction.
But we find Emerson relenting later on,
Indeed, he writes, when one observe
how i'll and ugly people makes their loves
and quarrels. us q pity they should not
read novels a little more, to import the
fine eenerosities. and the clear. firm con-
duct. which are g becoming In the unions
and separations which love effects under
shingle roofs, as in palaces and among IL
lustrous personages."

Two purposes are served by the COM

in twinkling. but it will not come OF
unless the handle is turned at right angles
with the jar. When a bottle OF milk is
being carried by this means il can be
swung around with no fear of the top
coming Off anybody wants to swing 1t
around. The Improvement of this device
over the paper tops used on milk jars is
readily apparent. 1t costs more in the be-
ginning, but in the long run 1t will out
wear thousands of paper tops and has
the additional! advantage of providing a
handle.
