Railroad expansion in Asia is notable II
not as extensive and strenuous as in the
new world. Trains now run to within a
few miles Of Mecca, and the British are
talking Of building a line to Lhassa, in
Thibet. A road through Mesopotamia, with
a branch to what Sir William WiIcocks
calls the site Of the Garden Of Eden, has
been surveyed, and German engineers are
now planning a line designed to open the
whole Of Asia Minor to commerce. In the
far east there is similar activity among
the railroad engineers. The Russians an
nounce that they will soon begin double
tracking the 1000 miles OF the great Trans
Siberian railway, and the Chinese are
planning half q dozen trunk lines through
their populous provinces. Altogether, the
world is embarked upon an Unprecedented
campaign OF exploration and development.
Just what constitutes a price-making
combine is an open question I'm England
and one for grand jury investigation in
the United States. A specimen OF what
may be done and is being done Is shown
by a circular addressed TO members by the
farmers association Of Great Britain. The
formula is contained in this resolution:
THAT the extremely high price Of raw
hides makes It absolutely necessary for
tanners to obtain further advances on the
finished leather; therefore, this conference,
while not attempting to regulate prices,
urges upon the members the desirability Of
using every effort to bring about a reduc-
ton In the price Of hides, and to sell no
leather at prices which would admit OF re-
placement without loss"

A PLEA FOR A NATIONAL AN
 THEM

It is a remarkable fact that none of our great American composers have bent their energies and talents to- ward the production of an anthem that would be accepted as national by all the people and thus become the recognized air for public and official occasions where rendition of such a melody would be appropriate and de- sirable "The -Spangied Banner
 is not an original air and the words largely refer to a local battle against one of Americas firmest friends.

the Ocean," and The Red. White and Blue" are unsatisfactory. although possessing merit. Of all tunes used doubt that Dixie" comes nearer to the national heart. as shown by it's cordial reception when played on pub | lie occasions. It is. however. of q local coloring and sings of the excel lency of portion of our land rather than of the whole. What is wanted is national hymn in both words and music that shall be distinctively American and appeal to the whole people
 When we look abroad we see that other nations have their distinctive airs. the most inspiring and enthu- siasm- provoking being undoubtedly the "Marseillaise" of our sister re- public. France. It strikes the very chords of patriotism and fervidly ap- peals to the French nature as no other tune can.
 The air God Save the King" ai- though used by us as America" is England's by right of previous use and is clearly admitted to be the of
 
 sian National Hymn and the Aus trian Anthem" are noble specimens of national melody. while the "Wacht am Rhein' is perhaps the best that could appeal to the German heart, in view of the history and environment of that nation. The National Hymn of Mexico is so revered that it is not allowed to be performed in public. except by official permission. and all nations hold their national melody in great regard. At the rendition of the l star Spanglcd Banner every good patriot should show respect by rising i and uncovering. for it's words speak of the glory of our nation and the mel ody is dear to every loyal heart. But what is wanted is a national anthem. written and composed for the , niscence of some drinking song or a tune appropriated from other sources. Drake's superb poem. 'The American Flag" comes nearest to furnishing such words as are appropriate and which if set to fitting music would reach the national heart. Let the composers of this country take up the matter in earnest, and without doubt, in due course. will be evolved the song that shall fire mems hearts with zeal for the nation and will animate patriotic citizens with even I greater loyalty for our institutions and our beloved land.-Philadelphia Press.

MYSTERIOUS WORK
 0F DR. [. H. SAWYER
Presented Program of Marvellous Phe- nomena at Elks' Theater Last
 Night.

This being a free country people may believe anything they like and those who choose to attribute the mysterious proceedings in the Elks' theater last night. to spooks. spirits or disembodied devils, may do so Certain it is that the fairly large and greatly interested audience present could figure out no other cause than spirits and few of them probably believe in the latter
 The logical result of such reasoning is that the mysterious things seen did not occur. but everybody who was there knows that they did occur. What produced them is solely the business of Dr. Charles H. Sawyer, who is re- sponsible for the performances. If he is not possessed of supernatural power of some kind he ought to be. for surely the ordinary human was baffled at ev- cry point to which he turned for sem sible. reasonable solution of the pug zling phenomena. in accordance with ordinary knowledge of physical laws and the most liberal allowance for auxiliary help of a mechanical nature It is impossible to do what Sawyer did and yet there is plenty of testi- lnony to prove that ne dfd do It.
 Whether his phenomena is the re- suit of spiritualism. magic. machinery. hypnotism. or an old fashioned rab- bits foot. the fact remains that the exhibition was decidedly clever and unexplainable one. unless Dr. Sawyer offers the explanation himself. As an entertainment, marvellous and some what wierd in character. if is worth while for anybody. His "experiments" are many of them performed in the open light and in the presence of com
 mitteemen chosen by the audience. others are performed in cabinet of steel frame and fabric covering. though the stage is fully lighted, and all are done so quickly it would seem impos- sible for a mechanical device to get into action, assuming that there is

With those annual missives. 1t would

all the legends concerning the origin OF
Valentine Day. Some people say that
St. Valentines Day in the early church
simply cOIncided With pagan festival
OF ancient Rome, aud that the two
holidays had nothing to DO WITH each
other. The Roman holiday which was
most likely swallowed up 10 the saints
day was the festival Of Pan, which came
10 Februuy. Poor old Pan Ia we'll

of the day, and the whole affair has
been IN, into the hands of Cupid,
while even the good saint, whoever be
