PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE.

Professor H. U. Ransom, B. A, q
graduate of Harvard. decided that he
would become a contractor. He was
chock full OF book learning, but he was
shy on experience in practical work
He is overcoming that defect by man
ming a shovel in a ditch and making
himself otherwise useful to the man
who hired him as a common laborer
He gets s1.5o a day. and # is presumed
he earns It, though the boss is Of the
opinion that it would require ages to
complete the Cambridge subway If the
laborers were all college men. Ran
som is entitled to credit for his pluck
Most men upon leaving college look for
something easy, at least position in
which manual labor plays no part.
This fellow, who is not ashamed to dig
in the ditch, deserves success for show
ing the stuff of which he is made It's
practical knowledge that counts most
in Iife's struggles.

PLAIN SAILING NOW.

The ten men selected by the two con-
gressionaI caucuses TO serve on the new
rules committee of the House have
been duly voted upon and the action of
the caucuses confirmed. There was no
dissenting voice. So to all intents and
purposes the Republican party is unit
ed for the public good. There will be
few crumbs of comfort for the Demo-
Gratis during the remainder of the ses-
zion. Having raised all the ruction
they could while the insurgents vented
their spleen upon the speaker for pure
" personal reasons, Champ Clark and
the others who compose the tmpotent
minority in the House can now sit still
and look on Their votes VIII not be
needed to pass the measures advocated
by President Taft.
Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away the Republican party is
in a much stronger position than it was
before. Everybody's grievance has
been aired and the white-winged mes
senger is lowering over the late bel
ligerents. The pipe OF peace is being
smoked on the reservation and the
chiefs have all gathered around the
cheerful fire. Doubtless the insurgents,
81 lately breathing out threatenings Of
slaughter, feel that it is good to be
there.
Some important work remains to be
done. The big supply measures are In
the last stages. some OF them requiring
only the signature of the President. In
order to knock the last prop from under
the enemy no time should be lost IN
getting action on the so-called admin
istration bills. The country confidently
expects legislation along the lines laid
down. The people will not be disap-
pointed. The laws win be enacted and
the decks cleared for the general en-
gagenaent next November. Let the
eagle scream.

lister OF labor. estimates that $500, 900
has been saved In wages since the act
went into effect. The amount saved
by the employers 1t is impossible TO es-
innate, but it no doubt amounts to q
vast sum in the aggregate. The cost
Of the arbitration boards is but trifiing
when compared with the vast benefits
derived. Mr.. King is enthusiastic over
the working Of the law, and says its ex-
tension is contemplated. OF Its ef-
fectiveness in preventing strikes he
sums up in these words;
How effective the act has been will
be apparent from the fact that since It
went into force. with the exception Of a
strike of machinists on the Canadian
Pacific railway, which was after a
board had been established, and which
did not seriously affect transportation,
we have not had a single strike on any
of the railways Of the Dominion. Meth
er has there been a strike on any of
the street railways. though before the
measure was enacted not q year passed
without one or two serious street car
strikes. We have had several boards
in connection with street railway dis
putes, and all have worked out salts
factorily. The measure has been equal
ly effective in mines. In q few cases
where the findings Of the board have
not been accepted all, without excep-
ton, have had to do either in whole OF
in part with the question OF union rec
ognition."
During the chaotic conditions pre-
vailing in labor circles in the United
States during the past month and the
imminence Of great strike in the BIZ
luminous coal fields, it might prove the
part Of wisdom If our own statutes
were made q little stronger.

WAR CLOUD AGAIN.

Peru has severed diplomatic relations
with Chile and the two South American
countries are engaged in squabble
which may result in war The last
time they clashed Chile was victorious
and Peru lost her seacoast. Chile pre-
cipitated the war for the purpose OF
getting possession of that strip OF land.
1t was a cold-blooded, mercenary con-
ffict, and the sympathy of the world
was with the loser. Peru is no match
for Chile at the present time, and
should war occur is almost certain to
be stripped Of more territory. There is
another black cloud hanging over the
Land Of the Incas. Some time ago Peru
became involved In a dispute with
Ecuador over the ownership of certain
ed as arbitrator. His decision being
about due, and the people of Ecuador
expecting to lose. an agitation has been
started for the purpose of provoking a
war with the Peruvians. With both
Chile and Ecuador as antagonists Peru
would be wiped of the map.
The people OF South America, like
those Of Central America, are seeming
ly never satisfied unless engaged in a
revolution or war with some neighbor-
ing state. They fought with the Span
iards until they gained their freedom.
and have been fighting among them
selves ever since. There never will be
peace down there until the natives be-,
come civilized and have some regard
for the rights Of others.

VOLCANIC ERuPTIoNs.

The tabled abode of Vulcan, the
Roman god Of IRE and the lower world.
is again IN eruption. Thousands Of I'M
fortunate people living in the vicinity
deserted their homes before the
streams Of molten lava descending upon
them. The damage will be great. Yet
soon after the flow ceases these same
people viii return TO the mountainside
and again take their chances. Thou
sands of human lives have been lost in
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in
Italy I'm times past, and thousands
more win perish in the future simply
because the people win not forsake the
danger spots.
A volcano in eruption must be
grand. sublime. awe-insDiring sight,
especially by night. 1t is one Of the
phenomena of nature the exact cause
of which is unknown. 1t is supposed the
stores OF volcanic material lie many
miles below the surface of the earth,
but what induces the eruption is mere
matter of conjecture. All we know is
that every once in while some noun
tain belches forth fire and smoke and
that streams Of redhot lava overwhelm
everything in their path as they few
down the sides of the declivity.
1t is estimated that there are from
800 to $50 active volcanoes in the world,
widely distributed. They are gathered
in groups or lines, and these are ar
ranged in belts or systems, according
to the books, so that in a general way
the surface Of the earth may be CLASH
fed in volcanic and non-volcanic dis
tricts. Happily none Of them exist in
the United States at the present time,
although ages ago there were extensive
eruptions In the region round about
Lake Superior, and there were also
many volcanoes along the Atlantic
coast line from Connecticut to South
Carolina In the cenoZoic era the
Rocky mountain region was character
lied by great volcanic activity, many
evidences of which are still to be seen.
There is a superstition among the
Italians that the veil of st. Agatha has
the power TO stop the flow Of lava, and
a cardinal viii take the sacred relic to
the towns in danger of destruction. In
the meantime the afflicted people are
suppncating the throne Of grace in
their own behalf. The dispatches state
that a slight diminution IN the flow has
been noticed. so It is probable the worst
&c over for this time

ANOTHER ADVERTISING CHANCE.

In every issue of the Pacific Monthly
there is a department headed Develop
ment News" II is compiled by Randall
R. Howard. and is devoted to recIama-
ton and other improvements In these
western states, Alaska and the islands.
And any one having project that is
worthy may get free mention there by
sending statement OF his work.
Utah, IN the latest number Of the
magazine, is not mentioned at all. There
is plenty about Washington and Oregon
and Idaho. and even little about New
Mexico and Arizona. But there is not a
word concerning any OF the develop
ment schemes In Utah-though the
name Of this state is found In the title
Of the department.
There is another good chance for Utah
men to tell something helpful about
their state. The Pacific Monthly has
big circulation, and is doing its full
share in helping the far west to the
realization of its splendid destiny.

FANNIE CROSBY.

Blind from almost the time Of her
birth, Fanny Crosby has lived to cele-
brate the ninetieth anniversary Of her
natal day. With spiritual vision unlm-
paired, this frail little woman. who has
brought joy and sladness to so many
wounded hearts, looks forward to the
time when the silver cord will break,
and 1 no more as now shall sing, "
as so beautifully expressed in her cele-
brated hymn. Fanny Crosby was born
March "a, 1920, and lost her sight when
she was six months old owing to the
ignorance Of a country practitioner,
who applied a hot poultice TO her eyes.
She was graduated from the New York
Institute for the Blind, and married
Alexander Van Alstyne, also blind, who
died many years ago. Early in her ca
reer she began writing hymns, ranking,
in the opinion of a great divine. with
Watts and Wesley. Saved by Grace"
is perhaps the best known of her songs,
although many others have become
popular. In 1905 II was estimated this
sweet singer in Israeli had written
more than five thousand hymns. She
has written many since, and viii con-
tinue to tune her harp until the end.
Happy Fanny Crosby! Notwith-
standing her great affliction she has
managed to extract much real pleasure
out OF life, while aiding and comforting
world is better because she lived, and
millions will mourn when she takes her
departure for the unseen shore.
