far too much given to involving US in in
ternational issues. which did not directly
concern US. Ny idea is that just as the
best Of wives was deemed by the Greeks
to be her of whom little das heard, 80 it
is with foreign secretaries.
If we are to believe the oracles of the
daily press. Sir Edward Grey has en-
gineered q sort Of unwritten alliance be-
tween France. Russia and ourselves
which 10 aimed against Germany. our OBJ
ject being to secure allies In the event of
our finding ourselves engaged in a mari
time war with Germany. Nothing, as it
seems to me, justifies such an interpreta-
ton of his policy. He has, 1t is true,
come to working arrangement with Rus
sia In regard to our respective positions in
Asia, and In doing SO he has acted very
wisely. He is on the best of terms with
France and Italy. When Austria annex
ed Bosnia, he urged that there should be
q conference of the great powers to bring
the annexation within the general interna-
ttonal law OF Europe. But when Turkey
herself accepted the situation he no
longer objected. In regard to Germany
he has never said one word to encourage
the anti-German feeling that is unfortu-
nately rife amonf us. On the contrary,
he has always protested against 1t, and
declared that there IL no reason to sup
pose that Germany nurtures any designs
against us.
He has proved himself a singularly
level-headed man and made 1t his main
aim during the tenure Of the position that
ne occupies to promote peace, and IL
others insist on falling out, to keep us out
Of the quarrel. This believe and ALWAYS
have believed, to be our only sound
policy.

Spreading Use of Concrete.

From the Cement Age.
It has been a matter OF surprise with
competing interests to note the rapid
growth of the concrete industry They
profess not to understand how concrete
has come into such universal use in COM
paratively few years. The explanation is
simple. however. when we consider the
relation of cement to other industries.
For example, there has been a rapid de-
cline In the lime industry. While the SUI
perior character of cement mortar Is di
rectly responsible for the substitution OF
cement for lime, the demand for cement
comes from the bricklayers, whose in
dustry would be put at serious dsad-
vantage were it not for portland cement.
Thus. while attempting to restrict the use
OF cement in the form of concrete. we
find the brick industry largely. If not ex-
clusively. dependent upon cement for
best results in the use of it's own ma
terial. Cement as mortar not only be-
comes an integral part Of the structure.
but has been happily combined with the
clay products in many other ways. For
example. in the construction OF the Met
ropolitan Life building. San Francisco.
designed with special reference to fire and
solid concrete faced with terra Gotta
There Is a large demand for brick and
terra Gotta for facing buildings of this
class. the builders having confidence I'm
reinforced concrete as a fire-resisting ma
terial. So far as the brickmakers are
concerned. they have even gone to the
point of constructing foundations and
other features OF their brick plants with
concrete.

Plain Men.
From the Strand.

=
OF late the plain man has been much to
the fore in fiction Nowadays we get lit
tie or nothing Of the handsome heroes
who charmed our childish minds in the
seventies and eighties. Gone are the Guy
Livtngstones of a past age, with their
blue eyes. red lips and gold-backed hair
brushes, and also gone are 'Ouidas"
splendid guardsmen, with their angel
faces. golden hair and hopeless wicked
ness. Even her later types. such as
Prince Ioris. in Friendship" and the
singer Correze. i'm Moths" do not APP
peal to up-to-date womanhood. Men like
these-dreamy. dark-haired and romantic
seem to us soft. silly and more or less
effeminate. And Rhoda Broughton's So
called vikings, fair-skinned, haxen-
haired. brainless giants, are strangely
out of touch with modern ethics and the
mental demands of the twentieth century.
Now this change of front is of inter
est, as 1t goes far to disprove the old mo-
ton that plainness is allied to goodness
q fancy which our drama has done much
to foster and perpetuate. The handsome
villain is a standard stage property; and,
In the case of heroes, scant justice is
done to the typical good Sort who too
often appears with a plain face, fiat feet,
badly cut clothes and a sallow complex
ion. But the old order changes, and no
doubt we shall soon see our dramatic
scoundrels with their inward blemishes
reflected on their grim exteriors, and the
faithful lovers and forgiving husbands
may get look in as TALL smart, attracA.

creative energy, and help them to get

are ready at any moment to answer.
The sick world passes along with all its

milton: we meet these negative lives upon

some answer that Will restore them to

When we know that all life is universal

respond to us from any point at which
we touch 1t, we need then only to throw
ourselves into conscious thought union
with everything which we desire, forget

leads us into relation with the energy
that must eventually manifest in form.
The human will lis the agent which must

Plain Men Should Dress Well.
From the Strand.

fFOu the ctfduu
Dress means much to all of us. and a
plain man may score in this direction.
He can show his wit in the way he
chooses his tailor. and should spend
money freely on clothes that are we'll
cut and we'll made, and-highest art of
all-that look at once opulent and bust
ness-nke. Now an orthodox writer is
safe to have much to say on the horrors
of mems dress at the present period. She
would dilate on the evils of the top-hat
AMI frock coat, and on their utter lack
of grace, comfort and convenience. And
she would also say that they are doomed.

a smart wedding and straw hats In the
royal Enclosure at Ascot. But I am a
free lance and declare that the average
man never looks better than when he is
dressed in London clothes" and wears
the high hat. frock coat and suede gloves
of civilization. His evening dress may
be tride dull. but no one ventures to
rebel against the white tie, hard shirt
front and swaliow-tail coat, which our
society men seem willing to share with
walters and niger MINISTRIES. But here
again / must put in word for the white
waistcoat. which, to my mind. gives the
final touch of smartnesS to q masculine
toilet.
Dress works wonders; but, anyhow, the
plain man should take heart of grace.
as he Is on the up grade and can hold
his own by means OF mind, manners and
a sturdy physique. For of all the beauty
which can adorn either man or woman
there is no beauty like that of perfect
health, fine bearing and a keen intellect.

A Standard Of Smell.
From the New York Sun.

From the New YORK sun
It is surprising that in an age OF scien-
tific research and of important discov-
cries arising from minute measurements
two OF mans five senses should De neg
lected and should remain unprovfded with
descriptive terms that will express what
has been found out or permit comparisons
to be made. For sight, for hearing and
for touch there are plenty OF standards
and yooabularies accurate enough 10 ena-
HE us to convey to others the precise
Impressions we receive: for taste and
smell we must fall back on vague gener-
aIities and fanciful SMILES, based usually
on the pleasure or dislike awakened IN
us and not OH the nature OF the smell
or taste. Both senses, nevertheless, play
an important part in science and in busi-
ness as we'll as in our daily life. A keen
sense of smell is Of great value to the
chemist: it is indispensable to the per-
fumer: it Is needed in other sciences and
trades In all there must be scales OF
smell for practical everyday use, and II
is remarkable that neither the laboratory
nor the warehouse has evolved a standard
that can be employed generally. phar-
maceutical correspondent of the Lancet
having complained of the lack of such
a standard, that dignifled journal dis
cusses the subject amply, showing how
necessary a standard is. but making no
suggestion that will help in establishing

Poor, backward Russia has. as the
phrase goes. America beaten to a stand
still for combined enterprise and luck as
manifested in the moving picture bust
ness.
Russian photographer has for exhi-
bition finn 500 feet long, showing the
assassination Of Prime Minister Ito on
the railway platform at Hardin. The
merit of the picture Is that it gives lust
what 1t purports to ofer-nO ten-dollar-
a-week actor dressed up as the Japanese
statesman succumbing to the blank car
tridges of a fellow-actor in a Korean
pyramid hat. but the actual tragic scene
as 1t was enacted in Manchuria a few
months ago. The Photographic appara-
tus had been set up to catch the details
OF the meeting between Prince Ito and
the Russian finance minister, Kokoytsofs.
The machine bagged bigger game than It
counted upon. Most probably this is the
only photograph In existence of q real
assassination.
Whether the Japanese. after using the
Aim as evidence In court, will permit 1t
to go on the market, IL doubtful But in
any case. the. moving picture man will
now go about his business with q fresher
enthusiasm than ever. When he photo
graphs the car driving in his carriage
there is always the chance of an unex-
pected bomb. When he follows the aero

hility of q break and a sudden swoon

1t used to be considered largely mat
ter OF revenge when the state punished

Then there arose, here and there. a
Portia to temper with mercy the so-called
Justice which Shylock demanded.
And now we are beginning. not only to
season Justice with mercy, but to have a
larger conception of justice.
Under the old methods OF punishment
the state engaged in a wholesale manner
the business Of making criminals.
Bows and men who had committed any
ofYense which landed them In Jail were
henceforth outcasts.
If a man served term in prison. hence
forth all avenues Of employment were
closed to him.
The larger idea of justice shows US that
society is in a degree responsible for its
criminals. And the criminal reacts upon
society.
Instead of being considered simply as a
rebellious chooser of evil. the criminal
is now regarded as morally unbalanced
and In many prisons treated accordingly.
Efforts are being made to educate and
train the minds and hands of prisoners.
Those who desire to learn a useful trade
are given an opportunity to do SO.

Temples Of Siam.
IN the Wide World Magazine.

From the Wide World Magazine.
Once year all the Buddhist temples
in Slam are visited by the king or his
deputies, bearing the Phra Kathin (yel-
low robesl In conformity with, an ancient
custom by which the priests were made
to seek their apparel for the ensuing year.
During the lifetime of Buddha, monks
and priests were sent out to beg for old
cast-off garments. which were afterward
dyed yellow and patched together to
form the required robes. This ancient
mendicant custom gradually gave place
to the present one of making the gar
ments from q new cloth of a bright ca
nary yellow. provided by joint contribu
tions of king, princes. mobiles and COM
moners. When the king goes in the royal
throne barge to present the robes in per-
SON he does SO with great pomp and cere-
mony. The priestly garments. folded In
bundles, are carried to the door of the
temple to await the appearance of hts
majesty and his suite. The king, on ar
irving, takes priestly robe and places 1t
on a decorated altar. The chief priest
then lays his hands on the garment and
chants an acknowledgment.

The mineral resources of America and
of the world are obviously limited. This
is just as true Of iron ore. the most
abundant and relatively the cheapest, as
it is of those carrying the precious met
ais. With the rapidly increasing con-
sumption Of iron and steel, the available
supply of iron ore may, therefore at
some time In the future be exhausted
When this will occur Is the subject of
much theorizing. Widely different con-
illusions have been drawn by those who
have made a study of the question This
is to be expected. as the calculations are
more or less based on assumptions. Still,
they all clearly indicate that In a rela-
lively short time ores sufficiently rich
in iron and free from deleterious eIe-
ments to be melted In blast furnaces
without any previous preparation will be
used up.
