Compared with England the Coun-
try Makes Favorable Showing.
From the American Magazine.
Let Us size UP with the country where
we hear the greatest lamentation over
the moral decay OF America. Is there no
political corruption in England? What
is the House OF Lords but corruption
turned into an institution? II half as
many men went into the United States
Senate solely because they have paid
money to the successful party as go into
the House OF Lords for the same reason.
We should have a revolution In this coun-
try. The plea is always made that eff
fieiency is so rewarded. and that the Eng
llshmen will always trot out Lord Lister
or the late Lord Kelvin az an example.
But for one Lister OF Kelvin there are a
score OF brewers, distillers. railway job
bers. flash newspaper publishers. or cor
poratiOn lawyers Lord Lister has about
as much influence in the House of Lords
as DR.. Eliot has over the Pittsburg COM

his way into the House OF Representa-

chance in England without the support

In the relations OF the railways, the

resent and destroy by law. They permit
the creation of a caste OF skilled lobby

JEFFERSON TO HIS CHILDREN.
Words of Advice to HIS Two Little
MOtherIess Girls.

". z. Curtis. in The True jefferson"
Jefferson's tenderness and solicitude for
his two little motherless girls was the
most beautiful trait OF his character. No
one who has ever loved q child can read
his correspondence with them without
emotion. Every sentence reveals the
depth Of his affection. and his anxiety
that they should be good and wise ap-
pears in every letter.
Goodness" he says. lis the greatest
treasure of human beings. If you love
me strive 10 be good under every situa-
ton. and 10 all living creatures, and 10
acquire those accomplishments which I
have put into your power"
The more you learn. the more I love
you," he said at another time. and I
rest the happiness Of my life on seeing
you beloved by all the worl0 which you
will be sure 10 be If TO good heart you

Independence 10 write 10 a little girl on

out your bonnet. because il will make
you very ugly. and then we shall not love

THE STUDY OF BROOKS.
Efforts TO Determine the Effects of
Forests Upon Streams.


Prom the Chicago Tribune.
The subject OF the influence Of forests
upon the stream flow is one which is Just
now being given great deal OF consid-
Grafton all the world over and there
seems to be variety OF opinion.
Although streams nave been gagged and
rainfall measured for generations, the
observations thus far accumulated were
mostly taken for the purpose Of china
tolOgy alone. or Of NEUROLOGY alone, and
II Is found exceedingly difficult TO apply
them TO a solution OF the problem in
question, and so there is a paucity Of re-
liable data on which to found concIu-
sions. In this breach the government has
stepped and a complete study of the
effects of forest cover upon stream flow.

measurement OF stream flow, together
with complete equipment OF meteorolog-
ical apparatus. Will be installed at about
$500 feet elevation above sea level. The

comparing the results OF observations in

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
De Cama's Famous Voyage November 20.

On the 10Th OF November. 1897. Vasea
dc Cana doubled the Cape Of Good Hope.
II was notable event In history-not on
account Of the discovery of that cape.
which had been made some years earlier
but from the solution OF an important
question-whether or not India could be
reached from Europe by sea.
Columbus had such a trip in contempla-
ton when he actually discovered America.
The Spanish monarch who first fostered
and then neglected Columbus eounte-
nanced those projects which led to the
discovery, conquest, and settlement Of
various parts of American. but the kings
Of Portugal were the great promoters Of
the enterprises by which South Africa
and India were laid open to Europeans.
With the assistance of a map of Africa
the reader can easily trace the steps by
which these discoveries were effected. In
the year 1912 Prince Henry of Portugal,
a man gifted far beyond the average
intelligence Of HIS age. determined TO send
out ship TO explore the west coast of
Africa by sailing southwark from the
Straits OF Gibraltar The first trip was
not attended with much success, but the
prince pursued the scheme for a number
Of years.
Il was in 1885 that King John OF Por-
tugal sent out an expedition to discover
the eastern route to India One of the
expeditions proceeded through Egypt and
down the Red Sea, and, amid many difB-
eulties. crossed the Arabian Sea, or IN

TUNING A BELL.
The Notes Must Blend I'm Order to
Produce Perfect Harmony.

From the Scientific American.
What a beautiful sOne that bell
hasr' is often heard. There are few.
however. who know how a bell re-
ceives its joyful or solemn tones.
All bells after they are cast and fin
ished must go through q process OF
tuning the same as any other musical
instrument before they respond with
a clear. true tone. Every bell sounds
five notes. which must blend together
in order 10 produce perfect harmony.
The tuning OF a bell is done by
means of shaving thin bits from va
riOus parts OF the metal Il is as easy
for an expert bell tuner to put a bell
in tune as it is for piano tuner to ad-
just his instrument TO perfect chords
At first thought it would seem that a
bell would be ruined should the tuner
shave off too much at the last tuning,
or the fifth sound. but such is not the
case. He would however. be Obliged
TO begin over. starting with the first
tone and shaving the bell until ii gave
forth its harmonious sound at the fifth
tone
