AN AGREEABLE TRIBUTE.

II 10 now less than four years since
the issue by London publisher OF
the first volumes In series Of re-
prints OF the works Of standard au.
thors. which marked an interesting
experiment In providing the public
with the worlds best literature In
handy and inexpensive form. The
books were clearly printed and taste.
fully bound and sold for a shilling.
On the recent addition OF the four
hundredth volume to the list the an.
nouncement was made that more than
100000 separate copies had been dis.
posed Of. That Is. fully five times
the number Of books in the Library
Of Congress, more than double the
number Of volumes In the Bibl.otheque
Rationale OF Paris. the worlds largest
library-books all OF a substantial
character-have been absorbed within
this brief time by a reading public
whose intelligence Is too often meas.
ured by the sales Of popular" fiction.
The proof given that the worlds great
masters Of literature are still the
best Sellers" that works published
In Athens and Rome before the Chris
tian era or In Weirnar or Florence
centuries ago are to-day in lively de-
mand. 10 an agreeable tribute to the
quality and correctness Of modern
popular taste in literature.

CRIME AND ITS DETECTION.

Lombroso is known chiefly because
OF his theory that unsocial or anti.
social men-criminals. for example
are degenerates or reversions to
primitive type. and by his further
theory that degeneracy has its ply.
sical marks by which 1t can be detect.
ed. The malformed ear or nose or
hand became with him q synonym for
the existence OF criminal tendencies,
and the conclusion was that the only
means Of improving society lay In get.
ting rid Of It's degenerates. II was a
beautiful theory, but over and over
again Lombroso was tricked In the ap.
plication Of It. He would be told, for
example. about q particular case OF
crime. and sent the photograph Of
some philanthropist along with the de.
tails. and he would proceed to point
out all the marks Of dsgeneracy on
the philanthropist to At the crime.
Or he would bs sent unlabeied pho
tographs Of q William d. Howells and
Of q convicted criminal. and he would
pick out H0wells for Q degenerate OF
the lowest type. and classify the Grim.
inal a. q good citizen. All Of which
was very unfortunate for the reputa.
ton Of his theory. Apart from this.
however. the tendency Of modern In.
vestigations Ia distinctly away from,
the idea that social conditions are due
directly to the primary physical char.
acteristics OF individuals. The Galton.
Pearson scnool is. indeed. working
along such lines. but 1t II isolated. and
the great mass OF evidence is accumi.
Iating In a different direction. 1t Ia
more the way In which men arc
grouped and formed into social classes,
the way In which the Opportunities
for getting q living" have been seized
and modified and appropriated, by
which scientists now explain those
| typical reactions OF some individuals
against the rest, which are known as
criminal. LombrosO was an interest

Britain and Gaul. It was In answer
to this call that Columbus made his
perilous voyage across the broad At.
lantic. 1t led his followers, who col.
onized these savage shores, to push on
over the Western prairies and the Pa.
cifc slope and create an empire des-
tined to be the greatest In the world.
The tide Of empire which has SO long
been flowing to the Occident Is now
turning to the Orient. The savage
islands OF the Pacific and Indian oceans
have sent forth this call. and civilized
man Is answering It. 1t has sounded
from the jungles OF darkest Africa. the
ice.bound regions Of the Arctic and the
unexplored Antarctic, and there Will
soon be no more wilds. There are al.
ways adventurous spirits who feel cab
ined, cribbed, confined In the cities civ.
ilization has builded, who fee from
their luxurious life and obey with
alacrity this imperative call. They go
forth to explore painless forests and
untrodden deserts. to scale rugged
mountains and plow unnavigated seas
In search OF new worlds to conquer.
When all these worlds have yielded to
human progress, the spirit Of conquest
will no longer sway the hearts Of men.
and that ancient prophecy that "The
nations shall learn war no more." will
be fulfilled. Then. and then only, will
the redeemed and rejuvenated earth
become fitting abode for aspiring and
enlightened man. Then the triumphs
ne seeks will be those Of art, science
and philanthropy, and human life will
have value and contentment never
known when the Call Of the Wild
was the impelling motive OF mankind.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

Thus goes the old familiar song:
"How dear to my heart are the scenes
OF my childhood" On second thought,
however, one may interpose an excep'
tion or two. Let the memory go back
to the "parlor." In the recollections
of childhood 1t does not figure as one
of the popular home institutions.
There was something sacrOsanct about
1t that did not appeal to boys at least,
and the girls didn't seem to give 1t
much appreciation until Horace and
Arthur accumulated sufficient courage
to inaugurate the custom OF calling
around on Sunday afternoons, sitting

THE CALL OF THE WILD.

"The call of the wild" These words
have been used TO define that primal
instinct In man. which has been the
moving force In the worlds conquest
and civilization. The ancient Greeks
heard this magic call and pushed out
from the towns and cities they had
builded to form colonies on hitherto
unknown shores. The tradition runs
that II drove Eneas and his followers
from the ruins OF Troy TO Journey over
distant seas 70 the banks OF the Tiber
and there found the Roman nation

COSTLY, BUT WORTH WHILE.

Twenty years ago the cotton.boll
weevil. having completely wiped out
the cotton culture In many parts Of
Mexico. crossed the border and began
its ravages In Texas. At about the
same time fruit.growers in California
awoke to the fact that minute scale
like insect was threatening to destroy
their apple. peach. pear and plum Or
chards. In spite of every effort. these
two pests spread rapidly. Only the
cotton. fields OF the Atlantic coast have
20 far escaped the weevil's attack; the
San Jose scale 10 domesticated In al
most every State In the Union. Some
persons predicted the complete de-
struction Of both cotton.felds and or.
chards, and It 10 certain that Q good
many planters and fruit.growers were
ruined. But the intelligence and in
ssnuity OF man are proving equal to
the emergency; and incidentally there
are appearing certain of the blessings
which always follow adversely cour'

has learned the benefits Of q proper
crop rotation. and close and careful
cultivation Of his fields. In the boil.

Pinchots retention would discredlt
those. who are abusing Secretary
Ballinger.
Mr.. Pinchot has publicly announced
his determination TO remain in the
public service. and President Tart
has made public a letter he wrote TO
Mr. Pinchot. assuring him of the ad-
ministration's confidence in his abil-
ity. integrity and Judgment and
earnestly requesting the chief forest
er to remain with the administration
and perfect the work he has so ably
carried on thus far.
Mr.. Pnchot is rich. high strung
and independent, and it is not likely
he would remain IN Office under any
sort of a slight or feeling of humil-
iatlon: though. no doubt. his enthus-
iasm and patriotism have induced
him to disregard some things that
one less In earnest would consider
an affront. II is evident that there
never was any personal feeling be-
tween the head of the department of
the interior and the head of the for
estry bureau, though a difference of
opinion on a matter of policy obvi
ously did exist. and was carried to
the president.
Mr.. Pinchot. who was cordially
hated by some westerners in the
early days of the conservation policy
has won the admiration of the coun-
try and the respect of his former
traducers, and his attitude during
the recent incident add to his credit
Mr.. Pinchot IS in the forestry de-
partment. to save the forests, not for
the salary of the Office. nor to execute
his own whims: and he has stead
fastly kept his one ultimate purpose
in view. When a man keeps his eye
on that. side issues and temporary
obstacles and misunderstanding
never assume undue Importance. A
man of smaller calibre. might have
had his head turned by the praise
heaped on him and the confidence re
posed in him by President Roosevelt
A man like Pinchot is too rare.
