THOMPSON SETOY
TO BOY SCOUTS

Ernest Thompson Seton, Chief Scout
Of the Boy Scouts of America who
recently returned from a visit to the
Boy Scouts of Great Britain, has writ
ten letter to the Boys of the United
States. He praises the boys of Ameri-
ca and says that the American Boys
are in many ways superior to the Brit
ish Scouts. He writes that the Ameri
can Boys are specially skilled in all
matters pertaining to camping out,
while the English Boys are better dis
ciplined. Mr.. Seton suggests that a
troop of the finest Boy Scouts of Amer
lea be sent to England soon to show
the American attainments in scouting
and that British troop be sent over
here This question is now being
considered by the Executive Board,
and should such an exchange of inter
ternational courtesies be decided upon,
much care will be taken in selecting
the troop to go to England The fol-
lowing is Mr.. Seton's letter:
Cos Cob, Conn, April 6, 1911.
Tic the Boy Scouts:
Last week ! returned to this land
OF sunshine after spending couple
Of months in our motherland One
of my objects in going there was to
compare notes with the British Scouts.
Sir Robert Baden Powell, the Chief
gave a luncheon to enable the Ameri-
can visitor to meet those who were
active in British ideas and we had
many important ideas and experiences
to exchange. Their chief trouble is
much the same as ours, namely, the
scarcity of good scout masters. But
our American Scouts are ahead in
many ways as well as in numbers.
found, for example, that our boys are
far more skilful in everything that per
tains to camping out. This is doubt
less a matter of climate and opportuni
ty. l found, on the other hand, thai
the English boys were better disciplin
ed.
Another thing that struck me wa'
that the American boys seemed t
have greater lung power than the Eng
lish lads. ~ English Boys do no
give their yells with the same enthusi
asm and power that the American
Boys do. ! like especially this expires

AUTHOR OF A BEST SELLER.

That there is enthusiasm in Syr-
acuse over the proposition to erect
there a monument to the memory Of
the author of David Harum" may
be judged by the comment of one of
the newspapers that there ought to
be such a monument, to make "evi-
dent to all who ask, what Syracuse
has done for civilization In view
of the fact that Syracuse is a uni
versity town, with all the education
al equipment of any progressive big
city, including a free public library,
and the home of several newspapers
and magazine publications and of in
dustries of every sort, this sugges-
ton that David Harum" is SYRIA
cuse's chief contribution to civiliZa-
ton is fairly high praise. There are
people, in fact, whose chief impress
ion of the story at this late day is
that it's moral is ito do other people
as they do you, but do them first
with the teachings of civilization
need not be considered, since nobody
has ever thought of taking David
Harum seriously He was good fell
low, take him for all in ALL whether
he ought to be immortalized in
bronze or no.
A sentimental interest has always
attached to the book and its author
because of the death of the latter
soon after the book was given to the
public. Edward N. Westcott lived to
see his work we'll received, but new
err knew that it's sale reached a mil
, lion and a half of copies before its
: popularity began to decline. The
suggestion of tragedy and pathos
here is probably largely responsible
for the movement for monument
What form the monument woulC
take has not yet been stated. Thu
newspaper does well to say that 1--WE
should make sure that it will be
source of pride to coming genera
tons" Mr.. Westcott Is spoken of as
"the beloved author" Evidently Syr
acuse people are of a mind and Ger
tainly they are in position to maxi
whatever memorial they please Il
the author and his work, without de
pending upon the general public
whose interest in the book at bes
was but fieeting and who never CAM
in touch with the authors personal
Iity Yet it may be that some will
fond recollections of the ingenuou
old codger that he portrayed may b.
glad to make contribution to tn
fund.

GALALITH MAY
: SUPERSEDE IVORY

Kuhlow's, a German commercial eX-
change of The Star, gives the account
below Of the newly discovered sub
stitute for ivory, etc. Galalith ought
to be good raw material for artificial
teeth. With their livers renewed by
Metchnikoffs sour milk microbe and
their masticatory process refitted with
milk teeth, the aged will have a pros
pect of renewing their lease of life
with the David's clause of added pen
alties cancelled Following is the ar
ticle from Kuhlow's:
THE news of the discovery some
time ago of a satisfactory substitute
for ivory for use on piano and organ
keys was warmly welcomed by piano
manufacturers. The name given the
product was and is galalith; to many
it is known as ivoret 1t is manufacture
ed out of COWS milk, without the adj
mixture of any foreign substances, but
simply by the application of certain
plONGoo III NhlNu ptlIShbb nave bNOh
taken out in Germany and other coun.
tries. 1t is claimed for galalith that
it makes an excellent substitute, not
only for ivory, but for amber, mala
chite, horn, coral, celluloid, and 9th
err like products, and can scarcely be
distinguished from them in appear
+ ance. It's advantages over celluloid
areNthat it is odorless and non-inflam
mable, and is not cold and dead tC
the touch as is celluloid. 1t has be-
sides a nice glossy surface, and this
gloss is quite as durable and highly
finished as that of the more expensive
materials; and whereas ivory is known
to lose its color and turn yellow il
time, galalith will maintain its beau
tiful white appearance permanently
When it is realized that ivory is be
coming scarcer and dearer every year
and that this product, besides it
other qualities, has the advantage o
being far cheaper, it is safe to predic
that galalith will certainly play evel
a much larger part in the future o
the manufacture Of piano keys thai
has been the case in the past"

cLEReYMEN AND REPORTERS.

An exchange recalls time mot
much over twenty years ago, when in
some churches a request to a pastor
to furnish a brief abstract of his
sermon to newspaper only result
ed in insulting replies from some
ministers, and when reportes went to
certain churchs to report a sermon
of intere(t they were assigned TO
the back pew, and were not in any
way aided by anybody to get a piece
of news that some of the readers
wanted, and whose printing helped
and didn't hurt the church" That
surely is an unpleasant memory.
This present writer can remember
much farther back than twenty years
and has not the slightest recollec-
ton of such an occurrence. Indeed,
memory is more apt to recall the in
stances where the ushers were insist
ent on taking the reporter nearer
to the pltform than he wanted to go,
or where the leading member of the
church held out his hand and whis,
pered, Come and sit in my pew.
AS for the clergymen who were ready
with insulting replies when asked 10
furnish abstracts, thy may possibly
have been; but what is much more
vivid is the recollection of the minis
ters who were overwhelmingly eager
to give up the entire manuscript. DC
casionally a rluctance-but always a
courteous reluctance-has been en-
countered with a preacher who has
the idea that an effective sermon (.
not always effective in print; an idea

with which we not infrequently con-
cur. More than one clergyman has
been known patiently to prepare
summaries of a sermon which he-had
delivered eXtemporaneousIy We
have known of more than one in
stance where a clergyman has in pri-
vate re-preached his sermon to re
porter in order to help tn reporter
out And this is no more character
istic of preachers now than it was
twenty or thirty years ago. To re
call three who easily come to the
mind of preachers who have passed
into the other world, but who were
among the leaders in the New Bed
ford pulpit in their day-Alon2o II.
Quint, Albert II. Heath, and William
J. Potter-they were always courte-
Gus gentlemen in their dealings with
newspaper men. And these are but
three out of a great number, living
and dead. AS to the occasion eX-
ceptions, why dwell on them? There
are exceptions among the men of ev
cry occupation; the better reminis'
cences are of the preachers who
were always pleasant with the news
papermen and tire were so many OF
them!
