acteristic Frence good sense which sur prises prejudiced foreigners.
 France has steered clear of foreign complications having invariably se lectcd men of experience and ability to conduct her foreign affairs. She has increased her colonial empire and inn proved it's administration; she has managed home matters to the general satisfaction of the French people, and these have included the grave question question of separating state and church and that of holding the arrogance of che military element within bounds. She faces now the demands of the so- cialists with as much force and at least as much intelligence as Germany and Great Britain can display.
 prosperous and progressive repub- lie, on friendly terms with all her neighbors, an example that monarchial institutions are not necessary in Europe, France holds a place among the nations today that no Frenchman could have dreamed of in that terri ble year" forty years ago. That she may continue so is the wish of every American.-NewY York Sun.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

| It is a queer turn of fate that the
 only survivors among the chief actors
 in the revolution of forty years ago in
 France should be the Empress Eugenie, who fled on that September i from a Paris mob, infuriated by the news Of Sedan; Emile Olivier, the minister
 who entereded on the war with a | light heart" and Henri Rochefort of La Lanterne, who was foremost in in
 citing the people against the second
 empire. All the generals who led the desperate defence against the Prussian invasion are gone; of the self-constl-
 tuted government of defence, Jules Favre, Jules Simon, Gambetta and the rest, none is left save the man who turned against them and joined the commune.
 The republic which on that day had it's beginning has lasted already longer than any form of government France has tried since she overturned the monarchy in 1792. Never was there less hope of permanence. With the enemy in the land, with nothing but defeat and humiliation to show, with anarchy in the capital, the republic was saved by a man as unlike the French mans hero as is conceivable. No maid of Orleans, no plumed helmet of Ma varre, no Little Corporal, but plain lawyer journalist, a 70-year- r-old bour- geOis of the crassest kind, tricky Or leanist politician, who rose to the needs of his country and made Monsieur Thiers a name that France will always remember with honor. He turned the Prussians out of France, though the price he paid for it was high; he star tied them and all Europe by the quick raising of the billion dollars that dem onstrated Wrance's power of recupera- ton; he put down the commune in Paris and restored order, and he held the republic together loyally, with no thought of calling back the Orleanist dynasty.
 Since NJ Thiers's day the republic has progressed steadily and France has resumed her high place in Europe. She has indulged in kaleidoscopic changes of ministeries, shifting a rather small number of men about almost inces- sanity; she has given some fairly great men and lot of little men the chance to govern her; she has put in the presi- dential chair honest men, who have left office, with a single exception, with as good regulations as they brought to it. She has withstood the temptations of demagogues and of military adventur- CTS. The republic has gone on steadily, regardless of men, exhibiting the char

MAJOR RATHBONE DEAD.

The name of Major RathbOne, who died the other day in a German in sane asylum, does not mean anything to the younger generation of news paper readers, but it possesses sig nificance to those familiar with the details of Lincoln's assassination Major RathbOne and his fiancee shared the box in Ford's theater in which Mir. and Mrs. Lincoln sat when the president was shot. RathbOne raised his arm to protect Lincoln and re- ceived a thrust in it from Booths dagger. The couple married and went to Germany, where the bridegroom acted as American consul. The events of LincOln's death so preyed upon his mind that in a few years he became insane and murdered his wife. He was incarcerated in a German asy- lum, where he dragged out many years of existence. John Wilkes Booth was as responsible for the tragedy which Clouded the greater part of this mans life as he was for the murder of Lincoln and the mel ancholy which descended upon Mrs. Lincoln afterwards.-Roches Chron- icle and Democrat.

LAW HONESTY"

It was inevitable that Mir Roosevelt should be cautioned not to mention the Lorimer matter yesterday because there had been no formal conviction of the culprit. And it was just as in evitable that Mir. Roosevelt should re- tort that public honesty would be a sham if it were not permissible to denounce notorious transactions which had escaped judicial condemnation.
 One great trouble in this country has been the tendency of men to fall back on law honesty" in cases in which the laws have not been ad- justed to meet the requirements of developing civilization, or of a pro- gressive public sentiment

Worlds Metal Production.

Figures given by three German joint stock metallurgical companies furnish conclusive proof of the supremacy of the United States, both in the pro- duction and consumption of metals.
 The world production of copper in 1909, for instance, aggregated S44, 100 metric tons, 2,204.6 pounds, which eX- ceeds by about 100000 tons that of the - year before The United States had the largest share, 49S,200 tons, an in crease of about per cent over the output of 1908 The world consump- tion of copper in 1909 reached TSP, 800 tons. exceeding that of the preceding year by S5,1OO tons. The giant share in the consumption fell to the United States, and amounted to S1S,9OO tons. against POS, 800 tons in 1908; Germany consumed 179, 100 tons; England, 1O9,- 100 tons; France, 73,1OO tons.
 The world production of lead last year aggregated 1.O52,5OO tons, divid ed thus: Europe, 5O5,SOO tons; Unit ed States, 3S9,7OO tons; Mexico, 11S,- 900 tons; Australia, 7720O tons. The United States consumed 365,200 tons of lead; Germany. 213,200 tons; Great Britain, 1s9,5OO tons; France. 11O,4OO tons; Russia. $500 tons.
 Of tin, 1OS,3OO tons were produced in 1900, of which 61.5OO tons came from the Straits Settlements ports; 35,6OO tons from Bolivia; Germany produced (mainly from Bolivian ores) S.99O tons. The consumption of tin was distributed: United States, 42,- 500 tons; England, 17.5OO tons; Ger many. 17,1OO tons; France. S,75O tons and Belgium, 1900 tons.
 The zinc production in 1909 was 7s3,2OO tons, of which the United States contributed 24O,446 tons; Gel many 22O.1OO tons and Belgium 167,- 100 tons
 In 1909 the world produced 16.1OO tons of nickel, the chief contributors being the United States. 5000 tons; Germany, S,1OO tons, and England. 2,sOO tons.
 Of aluminium. 24,2OO tons were pro- duced and 3OSOO tons consumed throughout the world, while the plo- duction of quicksilver amounted to 3.2OO tons, of which Great Britain took 1,445 and Germany 723 tons.
 The figures are particularly inter esting on account of the great in crease in the consumption of copper in the United States, the excess over 1908 being more than 100000 tons. It is probable an equal amount is be- ing consumed this year. and that un- der normal conditions the year 1911 will make an equally favorable showing.
 In the production of lead, zinc and nickel the United States easily main tained it's lead as well as in the matter of consumption.
 A careful review of the figures from Germany inclines one to take an optimistic view regarding the mar ket during the coming year.

THE OIL WELL SHOOTER.
Sometimes Blown Into Eternity With
His Own Ammunition.


In certain OF the petroleum produc-
ing districts Il becomes necessary some
times in opening an oil well--soDletmes
when the well has become clogged or
apparently exhausted.-to begin or re.
new the flow by exploding nitroglyc-
erin at the bottom of the well. This
explosive is employed because It Is ex-
plodes readily by the dropping Of II
weight upon 1t. A man who carries
nitroglycerin from well to well for this
purpose is known in the oil regions as
a shooter"
The shooter has a wagon In which TO
carry his explosive. A square box un
der the seat is carefully padded, and
when IL has been solidly filed with
cans Of nitroglycerin, which is mo-
lasses.like fluid, he fastens down the
cover and drives slowly away to the
well that he is to shoot Usually he
makes the trip very early in the morn
ing to avoid the customary travel and
so diminish the chance Of danger.
For the most part the roads are bad,
and the wagon jolts along In way to
make any one but an old shooter de-
cidedly nervous. II II is dark there
is great danger that a wheel may drop
into hole with force enough 10 deto-
nate the explosive. Several wagons
| bearing shooters and their loads have
| been blown up, but no one ever lived
to tell what sort OF jar caused the ex.
| ploslon.
In such case little Is ever found ex.
cept the great hole in the ground which
the explosion has dug. with possibly n
wheel Of the wagon a quarter of q
mile away in one direction and another
in the opposite direction.
| The shooter generally takes from
so to 240 quarts of nitroglycerin In
his wagon. The smaller amount Is
quite enough II 1t should explode tC
leave no trace OF the driver OF Ia,
vehicle.
| When the shooter reaches the well
which Is to be treated long torpedo
tubes are placed within the casing Of
the well. and the nitroglycern is poured
carefully into them. The well may be
1900 feet deep and is seldom less than
a thousand When one OF the tubes Is
filed Il is lowered with the utmost
care to the bottom or the well. Thi,
operation is repeated until the shoot
er is satisfied that the load is heavy
enough to accomplish the purpose
When all Is ready bar of iron. Rnowr
as a "go-devil," Is dropped into tn,
well. The instant Il leaves his hand
the shooter takes to his heels, seeking
place Of safety.
Suddenly the earth trembles; there
is crash, followed by snap: muf
fed sound arises and becomes louder
, and louder until column of oil ant

, feet around Is filed with clouds o
