Daniel Webster's Carriage.

Captain Albert Hartge of Shady
side. Anne Arundel county, owns a
carriage which was once the property
of Daniel Webster and which is still
a highly serviceable vehicle. Captain
Hartge has been using it for several
years and says it is far more roomy
and comfortable than those built nova
days. The carriage is phaeton, built
on high springs. being as good and
strong now as the day it was built.
1t Is constructed of white hickory, and
the great lamps. dashboard. rails, han
dies, etc, are of solid copper, heavily
silver plated. The old carriage was
the favorite vehicle of Webster at his
home near Marshfield, Mass, and was
sold to Marylander several years
after his death at sale in Boston.
The purchaser brought it to Baltimore
and stored it away in a stable. intend
ing to ship it to his country place in
Howard county. Before doing so he
died, and the old carriage was again
put up under the hammer. Captain
A. S. Byus, an oyster packer Of this
city, happened to attend the sale and
bought the old vehicle for very small
sum and later gave it to his friend
Captain Hartge. who prizes it highly.

Airships and Fogs.

The Germans are considering the
problem of how aeronauts are to de-
termine their location at night or in
fog An ingenious engineer has pro-
posed for the convenience of those
travelling at night very complete net
work of signal lights which will en-
able any aerOnaut at some little dis
tance above the earth'S surface to de-
termine his location with considerable
precision. To such special signal lights
naturally signals by bell or siren can
be added to be used in case of fog.
DR.. Bidlingmaier of the imperial OBJ
servatory at WilheImshaven has, how
ever, proposed very simple adjunct
for the equipment of the aeronaut
which will enable him to locate his
position with some measure of accura-
cy without the use of eye or ear as
dependent upon terrestrial signals. The
instrument in question is the SO called
duplex compass" devised by Dr. Bid
lingmaier and used by him lately dur
ing the explorations Of the German
antarctic expedition.

A Wall Street Valuation Of the Great
EGG Producer.


Egg Producer.
1t is claimed that the average pro-
duction of hen is 200 eggs per an
mum, but Is safe to assume that the
actual is much below this figure.
Adopting the very conservative figure
Of 12O eggs per hen per annum, we
find on the above basis of production
there are 15OOOO,OOO laying hens in
the United States responsible for the
production Of 1S.OOO,OOOOO0 eggs.
At the farm price Of 20 cents per
dozen the total income derived from
each hen annually would amount to
81. Allowing 40 cents for maintenance
and 10 cents for depreciation, which
latter would wipe out the market value
OF The hen in four years. irrespective
of salvage when the period Of produc-
ton is over the net profit per hen per
annum amounts to $1.50
This profit. according to Wall street
standards. capitalized on a per cent
income basis, would place nominal
value Of $50 on each hen. For the
1JO,OOO.OOO hens this would amount to
the enormous total of $4.500,O00y000.
That the American hen can return
a yield of per cent per annum on a
capitalization of $4,500.O00,0O0 appears
nothing short Of remarkable. but such
is the case The entire outstanding
capital obligations of the railroads of
the United States in 1907 were less
than four times this amount, or $780,

ZoolouicaI Puzzle.

italian biologists have puzzle to
solve, owing to the discovery on Mont
Blanc of the body of white bear,
which has been taken to AOsta. 1t
was thought at first that the bear
must have died some 800 years ago
and must have been preserved by the
ice, since it has always been held that
white bears vanished from the Alps
three centuries ago. But it has since
been demonstrated that death could
have taken place only a few days pre-
vious to discovery. AS this would
seem TO show that there are still white
bears in the Alps, expeditions are now
to be sent to test the theory.-Dundee

Washington Letter.

A bill which has passed the
lower house of Congress provides
for some sort of authoritative su-
pervision of the public statues
which are to be set up in the ma
tional Capital in the future. The
need of such a law will have been
apparent to any one who has Wis
tied Washington at any time dur
ing the last decade. Too little
attention has been paid to the
merit of the socalled works of art
which bestrew the city. There
is no national commission of art
lists to reject the meretricious
monuments and the Capital suf-
fers under an exhibition of sculp-
tural atrocities that have been
erected in parks, circles and
squares from one boundary to
another. In the enthusiasm that
infected our legislators when it
was first seriously proposed to
make Washington the most beau
tiful Capital in the world appro-
priations were made for many
statues and monuments that have
become eyesores to a growing
native aesthetic discernment.
Our art is much ridiculed by for
eign visitors. AS the decorative
mania struck Congress after the
close of the Civil war it was diff
cult for the members and even
for the people at large to con-
ceive of any American worthy of
a monument who had not been a
warrior. The result was the E.
rection of statues to Revolution
ary, Mexican and Civil war he
roes until the city became an ar
ena for the display of prancing
steeds mounted by military idols
of every degree. The effect pro-
duced by coming upon these i'm
possible horses rearing in every
park would have been absurd e.

manship, lack of fidelity and in
feriOr ideals of art have been dis
played in many that the equine
exhibition in bronze has become
a joke among foreign visitors anC
a subject of modification to ju
dicious residents. In the begin
ming of the adorning period a few

protected against a repetition OF
the offenses that blur the beauty
and dignity of the national city.
President Taft, the most geni-
al and democratic president that
has ever occupied the White
House, has complained about the
formality of the entertainment
that his position makes necessary
and has furnished copy for the
professional humorists by his
plaintive remark that he wished
his friends might lust drop in"
at the White House. Mr.. Taft
Notwithstanding his vigorous
mind, his personal dignity and
wide experience among men is
above all things good fellow"
in the better sense of that ex-
preston and the restraints of his
official position wear on him. He
has always detested formality.
The essence of his intercourse
with men has been the uncon-
ventional and easy humor of a
man who is zone of the boys".
The deadly dullness of official en-
tertaining, the Cabinet dinners,
the prearranged interviews, the
regular and prescribed Cabinet
meetings, are all penalties which
he pays for his Office. He evades
the formalities as far as he can.
Cabinet ministers and diplomats
are known to have cooled their
heels while the President, clos
eted with some unofficial friend,
has been exchanging stories and
roaring over some recent joke.
The French say, ''C'est a rire, !"
| it is to laugh, all the time with
the President. No mischievous
school boy of ten finds greater
need of laughter than this big,
good humored boy who has nev-
er quite grown up. Everything
that is not humorous or that can
not be given a humorous turn is
a bore to the President and the
funereal atmosphere of the White
House has already chilled him.

one of the most formal and con

says there was no such a person

either lies or the poor fishermen

ry. THE fool says in his heart
there is no God," and he is fool
enough to blab it out. Oh, such
professors make us tired. We,
in reading papers and magazines,
see so much wasted intellect on
various subjects, such as the
high cost of living, pole search
ers, religious fanatics, Pinchot

The Pope and the Meth
odistS.
BY LEO.

o." BY LEO.
The Pope at Rome is the chief
officer of the, Roman Catholic
church throughout the whole
world, and for that reason people
of all denominations when trav-
cling in Italy want to see the au-
gust father of the faithful. Ex-
Vice President Fairbanks is a
member of the M. E. church OF
the; United States and sojourning
in Rome for a little while thought
it his duty to pay his respects to
the Pope. But the Pope refused
to see him. And why? Well,
Fairbanks being a Methodist, was
engaged to make an address to
his Methodist brethren in Rome.
Who could blame him for it?
Stay, the Pope took offense at it,
and refused to see a man who
was going to speak 10 a lot OF
Methodists in the very center Of
the Romish communion, The
Pope in effect said to him, ''Mr.
Fairbanks, if you are going to
talk to the Methodists you can
not talk to me. l will not see
you. If you drop the Methodists
you. can come to see me-"
That was charitable, was it
not?
What did Fairbanks do? Did
he drop his Methodist brethren
in order to get to see His Holi-
ness, the Pope? Not bit of it.
He preferred talking to his breth-
rem according to his engagement
than to have a talk with the Pope.
That was right, that was true
American spunk.
The Methodists in Rome may
not be quite as exalted as the
Pope. They may not be so high
up in the social scale; but they
are brother men, nay more, bro
ther Christians, some of them,
doubtless. as pious as the Pope
himself. Why should Fairbanks
spurn them to please the Pope?
There was no reason for SO do
ing. and had Fairbanks done it
his brethren in the United States
would despise and spurn him.
A,.pretty mess is it not2 In
