1t does seem that is about time
that the public should provide some
method of escaping the losses and suf-
fering that result from lockouts and
strikes. Neither the corporation en-
ployer or the union employee should be
greater than the larger public that is
affected by the disputes and troubles
between the two. The lockout and
strike is a resort to- brute force, out
of keeping with the progress of the
times. AS We are seeking to settle
the contentious of nations without re-
sorting to such a remedy, should we
not seek to settle our labor problems
by the same peac able methods? The
state does have much to say about
conditions of employment. Why
should 1t not say more?

good can be done by spreading military
knowledge among the masses and every
means should be employed to this end
without delay. The business man under
stands that training is necessary for COM
mercial pursuits, but he fails to compre-
bend that It requires an apprenticeship in
order to become a soldier, and such ideas
prevail generally among other classes Of
the population. The problem of national
defense Is thus involved in one Of educa-
ton Of the public in regard to military
things, which education maj be accom-
plished by creating a numerous trained
reserve and distributing the men among
the people.
The military power Of a nation goes hand
in hand with the spread of public instruc-
ton. A numerous population and vast ma
tional resources are of little use in war II
the former does not possess the cultivated
intelligence to make the latter available.
A system of universal military training
has been on trial in Germany for over half
a century and instead of being a load and
an impeachment II has been found greatly
to facilitate the industrial and general
development OF the country. It's effect as
an educational institution is now looked
upon by all classes OF the people as bene-
ficial.
The present military development In
Germany and in France is the outgrowth of
the experience OF invasion and Of defeat.
In Germany, where the system of training
reserves has been carried to its highest
expression. is found the lowest percentage
of illiteracy of any other country.
This plan for creating a reserve requires
consideration of tho following:
1. Limitation of enlistments to one term
only, except of such noncommissioned Of
ficers who have acquired vested rights from
length OF service, and who may remain
as instructors.
2. Enlistment OF those only who have a
sufficient preliminary education to become
useful as soldiers.
8. Enlistment OF young men between Is
and 25 years of age only.
4. That a system of education of all men
in the army be introduced.
g. That men be transferred from one
arm OF the service TO the other in &C
ordan with their aptitudes,
6. Permit a man to purchase discharge
when his training is considered to be COM
plete.

Besides these c~onveniences Duff is able

In any room In the house, the sound OF a
photograph being conducted through gas
pipes to cleveriy hidden ampliphones. An
electric bulb left burning by mistake in
any part OF the house is shown by a small
pilot light on the switchboard. and may
from there be turned off.
Strangers entering the garden at night
set Off a dozen alarms before reaching
the interior OF the house. which is a net
work of indicators and burglar alarms.
The stepping on certain pieces Of flooring,
the brushing OF certain parts OF the wall,
opening of doors or windows sets off bug
GERS or a photograph, which announce that
a stranger is in the house and floods the
premises with light.
A fire in the Duff residence sets off an
electric fire e~xtinguisher which feeds the
house. The lawns are watered by electric
ity, a clock regulating the time Of water

linga. An electric fountain thirty feet high

Principal among Duffs inventions Is a
burglar alarm working on the principle Of
humidity in the air being used as a con-

Bates and His BOX.

A little box six inches wide, six inches
deep and twelve inches long represents
twenty years work by Peter Bates, a
farmer Of Beaver county. Pennsylvania.
This is explained in part by the fact
that the box contains specimens OF every
hard wood that grows within the range OF
mans habitation. Another cause for the
many years of work is that Mr.. Bates
only devoted his spare moments and even
ings to the tedious task.
The box is probably the most remark
able thing that has ever been seen in this
country, or even in the world. II is made
Of 10. 700 little wood blocks. Some are dia-
mond shaped. but most are cubes of one
eighth OF an inch, while others that form
the various figures are OF every design
imaginable.
Though no paint, stain or varnIsh was
used. the bcx carries almost every shade
and color. The dark woods and light
woods are so placed together as to pro
duce an artistic effect. The sides are as
smooth as a window pane, which is an
evidence OF the careful workmanship in
carving out these thousands of appar-
emily Insignificant little blocks. They
are 30 arranged as to indicate a checker
board on one side, a pile Of blocks on the
other, and in one end the blocks appear
upon first glance to be piled up promis-
cuously and very uneven.
The top Of the box was patterned after
the bottom OF a cut glass dish. Tires
vart-colored stars are the attractive
features of this portion. On the front OF
the box are emblems of the Odd Fellows
and Masonic orders. Of which Mr.. Bates Is
q member.
Mr.. Bates is n years old and finished his
task only a few weeks ago. When he be-
gan the work it was his intention TO make
a collar box and present it to his son.
Since it is such a masterpiece of art It will
probably be placed on exhibition in some
institution. Mr.. Bates was for several years
chief engineer for the Allegheny Water
company. Abandoning that position he
purchased the farm where he has lived
ever since.

wierd Things in wireless.

Wireless transmission is the wieTdest and
almost mysterious aspect of applied cleo
tricity. The commercial utility OF wireless
telegraphy is an established fact; the wire
less telephone is soon to arrive, and The
wireless transmission of power for mechan-
ical uses is definitely promised by our wiz
yards of science. All to these ~bewildering
achievements wireless electric lighting, and
the list constitutes one OF the most dazzling
chapters in the history of modern dlscov-
cry and invention.
Beyond the borderland OF mystery to
which these achievements lead. says the
New York Mail, are many strange phe-
nomena TO explain and many curious prob
lens still to solve. We have yet to learn
why wireless transmission is easier at
night than in daytime. and more effective
in cold weather than in hot. Science has
yet to tell why wireless transmission is
better on the Pacific than on the Atlantic,
and why II is easier iu some directions
than In others. Why do messages projected
into the air sometimes deviate from theis
destined course and wander intact through
space. only to be picked out of the remote
ether thousands OF miles from their start
ing pointf
