ton for Improving the Condition of
the Poor, it was in great measure true
that the destitute beggars, who con-
gregated in our great cities, suffered
either through dense ignorance of
their opportunities or through the lack
of the moral and physical stamina
that led so many of their sturdier fell
lows to avail themselves of the bound
less natural resources that America
offered gratuitously to any who were
ready to take a hand in building the
nation.
Writing in 1916, Hartley, Harper's
says, deplores the fact that in spite of
enlarged public and private provisions
for the relief of the INDECENT, "the
streets were still filled with mendi-
cants, the benevolent were harassed
with applications, and importunate
impostors were constantly obtaining
the aid which was designed only for
the needy and deserving"
The attitude of mind created by
these conditions Hartley expressed in
several of the admonitory tracts which,
as general agent of the association, he
addressed to the city's poor. Every
able-bodied man in this country" he
declared, may support himself and
family comfortably; If you do not,
it is probably owing to idleness, i'm
providence, or intemperance. You VIII

thing rather than work. and expect,
forsooth, to be supported by charity
Some of you in all honesty ask not
aims but work, but how will you
get what does not exist? There
are so many more hands than
work that by remaining here
you are doomed to starve in idle
ness or subsist by charity. To the
sober and industrious we say, Stay
not here to pine in idleness and want,
when the wide and fertile country
offers you employment and all that is
needful for comfort and elevation. >"
Those who willfully and stubbornly
remained in spite of these admoni-
tions. Hartley and his associated Good
Samaritans determined to make the
best of ''by elevating their moral char
acter and teaching them to depend
upon themselves" They divided the
city into 27S sections. each one in
charge of a resident male volunteer
member always of one of the best
families-who pledged himself to with
hold all relief from unknown persons,
to visit in their homes those who APP
peared to require benevolent services,
and. by discriminating and judicious
relief combined with admonitions to
prudence, thrift. diligence and tenn
perance, to help them discover those
hidden springs of virtue within them
selves from which alone their prosper
ity might flow.
But Hartley and his associates did
not limit their activities to personal
visitation. Almost all the devices for
improving the condition of the poor
that are current in our day were de-
vised b. them.

A new method of producing thin me-
tallic films by volatilization in vac
uum was described at recent meeting
of the Academy of Sciences. Paris. by
Prof. l., Houllevigue. The metal to be
deposited is first disposed in a layer
on platinum wire, which is then
heated in a high vacuum. The film
forms on plate of glass, which is kept
in rotation near the heated wire. In
thu manner thin films have been pro-
duced of gold, silver. platinum, iron,
copper, zinc, tin and cadmium.
Up TO the present time, says F. L.
Hess. the most important use OF lungs
ten is as an alloy for steel tools. From
16 to 20 per cent of tungsten is ordi-
narily used for tools. 1t enables the
steel to hold temper in a much higher
temperature than ordinary carbon
steel. A lathe may be speeded up until
the chips flying from the tool are so
hot that they turn blue. 1t is esti-
mated that about five times as much
work can be done with such tool as
with one made of ordinary steel.
In scientific annals the Beagle, in
which Darwin maae his first exploring
expedition, is almost as sacredly re-
membered as "Old Ironsides' in Amer

lost from sight, and nobody knew ex-
actly what had become Of it Toyozi
Noda now writes to Nature that the
Beagle was broken up in Japan, where
it was used as a training ship until
1899. and that part of its ribs has
recently been found in use as a stand
for stones piled up near the temple
of Suitengu. rear the Oaki shipbuiid-
ing yard.

that figure. as usual at this period,
the turning of the screw will be en-
phatic. The powers of surveyor are
drastic. If man will not or does not
pay he will receive curt demand for
the money within five or seven days,
with a threat of the usual proceedings
in default. If that proves Intellectual
the brokers may be put in under
distress warrant, and if there are no
effects which can be seized the de-
faulter will be marched off to prison

Mr.. Lloyd George estimates that
$3.50, 900 has been irretrievably lost by
the delay in the collection of the tax.
Many commissioners and surveyors
are convinced that this figure is very
much understated. Some of them esti-
mate the inevitable loss in their own
districts AT nearly 10 per cent of the
whole. There have been failures and
removals and disappearance of tax
payers, and, although the state is pa
tisnt and persistent in these matters,
it is hopeless (say these experts) to

Nobody has yet received a form
which provides for the claiming of
aDatemenls in virtue of children I'M
der 16 years of age. When man en-
titled to such rebates receives his de-
mand note he must either pay in full
and claim the rebate afterward or go
to a vast deal of trouble to get the
rebate allowed before he pays.
Supertax is to be paid not during
the year in which the income is re-
ceived. but in the year following it,
and persons liable to pay ii for the
year ending March 81, 1910, must
make their returns by July 81. So
delicate and important will be the
work of adjusting this new tax that
the officials of Somerset House charged
with its management have been in
structed to complete their annual holi-
days before the end of May.

And every word prayer;
Their service shall be written bright
In calm and holy eyes,
And every day from fragrant hearts
Fit incense shall arise.
