A Note of Optimism.

In a recent address James B. Angel,
president emeritus of the University
of Michigan, sounded a note which
rings true with optimism. Discussing
present conditions he said:
Zone of the most characteristic
things OF the times is the widespread
outbreak OF dishonesty in high and
low places. Men in places of the high
est trust and drawing good salaries
have been crimina1ly false to their
trusts. Immense combinations Of capi-
tai have used their power unscrupu-
lousy against the welfare of the help
Jess, common people. We are shocked
and driven almost to the dependency
OF asking If any career of success is
possible for an honorable man.
"But when we turn from the Grim
inal to view the common people the
outlook is most promising. Among
the great mass of people rests moral
Boundness. We have seen the de
thronfng of political bosses long en-
trenched in power, and there is an
overwhelming demand for laws that
WILL abolish intolerable abuses exist
ing"

clared, you can not indict the whole

The Way Mother Nature Charms Away
Our Consciousness.
How do we go to sleep? How does
Mother Nature charm away our con-
sciousness? First of all she throws
her spell on those centers of our bodies
that preside over the muscular sys-
TEN, causing one group OF muscles
after another gradually to collapse.
Thereafter various powers Of mind
succumb in regular order. First we
lose attention and judgment, then
memory goes, and Imagination wan
ders away in reveries of its own
Ideas OF time and space cease to con-
troll thought as gentle sleep. the nurse
Of our life, draws nearer. Then comes
the turn OF the special senses. begin

eyeballs turn upward and inward, as
If to shut out all light, the pupils con-
tracing more and more as slumber
steals over us.
The turn of the ears comes; the pow

ten to twenty times less frequently

Charity.

Not in the giving of aims alone, but
in various ways do men show their
kindness in this rugged sphere. The
Auburn Citizen tells of a man in New
York city who has his own ideas of
charity and who believes in bright
ening the ways of the poor in a way
that is efficacious without money He
is an amateur photographer. He takes
with him into the east side a dozen
plates and a hand camera and offers
to make pictures for the family for
persons who cannot afford to go to a
photographer. Two prints is all he
ever gives, one being to keep, the
other being to send back to the old
folks at home. He says there are
many thousands of these people who
never had picture taken in their
lives. The curious part of it is that
when he offers to make one for moth
Ing they frequently refuse, fearing that
thsre is some trap or scheme in it.
Thus while mansions and automo-
biles seem like impossible luxuries to
the average citizen, a mere photograph,
taken with a 81 camera, is beyond the
reach Of thousands of poor in the large
cities.

To Save the Miners.

| It would have better served the pur'
poses for which the federal bureau OF
mines was ostensibly created to have
adopted Senator Dicks bill to increase
| the number of mine rescue stations.
/ There are four of these stations now
established, situated at Pittsburg;
Knoxville, Tenn; Urbana, ILL.,, and
Seattle. Their establishment was one
feature of the experimental work I'M
dertaken at small expense by the geo.
| logical survey. At these stations the
| oxygen helmet and other <life-saving
| devices were tested and miners of
| the vicinity instructed in their use.
| The volunteers thus trained consti-
tuted an emergency force available
for service even at considerable dis
tances from the stations. There are
too few stations, however, and accord
ing to report from the secretary OF
the interior the loss of life in the
Cherry disaster would have been much
less had there been a properly equip
ped emergency camp closer to the
scene. The Dick bill would increase
the number of stations from four to
twelve, at an additional cost Of about
S150,000 a year.
This, as the Quincy Herald we'll says,
surely is modest sum to pay for. hui
manity's sake, and the possibility that
thereby several hundred lives could
be saved annually should justify the
outlay even to the most hard-fsted
utilitarian. The objection that the es
adjustment of these rescue stations
and emergency camps would be an in
Lvasion of federal authority into the
domain of the states Is trivial Mine
regulation, to be sure, is part of the
police power of the states; and posi-
bly, mine operator could not be COM
PEELED to accept the aid of a disciplin-
ed federal rescue corps if disaster
should befall in his diggings. A re-
fusal in such case, however, would be
unthinkable. A person whose house
is on fire will not drive away a fire
company because it belongs to another
village or because it is a volunteer or
ganization. Stricken San Francisco did
not reject the aid of the Red Cross
society because it was organized under
a federal charter Shipwrecked mar
liners of any nationality are afforded
and accept help from the life-saving
corps of their own or any foreign
coast. German miners not long ago
crossed the boundary 10 help rescue
Frenchmen entombed as the result of
frightful colliery explosion and were

Humanity acknowledges no frontiers.
Least of all should the division be-
tween state and federal authority be

MATHEMATICS.

Used to Locate an AeroIite That Ne
One Had Ever Seen.
Arithmetic. algebra and trigonometry
are not romantic, but they may accom-.
plish things which greatly impress the
imagination. By means of them a pro-
fessOr at Yale university found a few
years ago an aerolite that no one had
ever seen.
1t appears that a photographer In
Ansonia. Conn, was occupied In tax
ing pictures by the aid of a telescope
Of a comet which was invisible to the
naked eye When his negatives were
developed one of them revealed the fall
of a meteor. 1t was too small an OBJ
ject to attract the attention Of the
unaided eyes, but its line on the pho
tograph indicated that it must have
come 10 the earth.
The picture was shown to an astro-
nomicaI professor at Yale. Ascertain
ing the point of observation and reck-
oning with the aid of the data which
the photograph itself supplied, he made
a calculation which proved that the
meteor must have fallen in the neigh
borhood of a reservoir some two miles
north Of Danbury, Conn. There the
aerolite was found in the very place
indicated by the calculation. 1t was
oval in form. measured fifteen and a
half inches in length, seven and a half
inches in diameter and weighed TWEEN
ty-six pounds. 1t was sent to the mu-
scum of Yale university. where it
serves not only as an illustration of
the nature of the vagrant bodies of
the skies, but testifies also to the won
ders of calculation which it is possible
for mathematical science to accom-
plish--Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Chinese Boycott.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce
in San Francisco, because of race dis
elimination, urges it's correspondents
in the "Flowery Kingdom" to boycott
American goods. Once before such a
boycott was declared, but given up
briefly because it proved to be not
good business.
A Chinese boycott is certainly re-
grettable, but a greater national ca
lamity could be imagined. Each in
habitant OF China buys from our coun-
try's business men less than Az cents
worth of goods annually. Each inhab-
liant of Germany buys SO 50 worth !;
each inhabitant of Great Britain S12. 33
worth.
A boycott of any kind and for any
cause is not good business, and the
Chinese will not, we venture, accept
the advice above referred to.
