contractors who have begun raising
the roof of John d. Rockefeller's new
house at Pocantico Hills are puzzled
by the problem of removing a 3-ton
concrete mass from the top Of the
massive chimney in the center Of the
house.
This chimney is so large that when
it was first put in use it sucked the
red-hot Goals out of the furnace and
shot them up into the air like vol
cano. Besides making it impossible
to keep a fire under the boiler there
was danger of the roof catching fire.
The architects decided to put fire.
proof lining in the flue to reduce its
size and then a 3-ton cement cap was
placed on top of it. This solved the
coal problem. Now the contractors
are puzzled as to the best way of get
ting the concrete top down. 1t is al
most impossible to use a derrick and
blasting is of course out of the ques-
tion.

Something New-Counting Fishes.
iron the Technical World Magazine.

To count the salmon in Alaska

picked out for an lnitia! experiment
The stream in question is the Wood
river, which, for the purpose of cen

being to the commercial fishery. There
was no trouble about arranging this.
because the fisheries bureau. unde,
authority bestowed upon 1T by CON

the canning concerns where and when
they may catch fish and when and
where they will not be allowed to
catch them. If it chose. it could sus-
pend the salmon fishery altogether for
an indefinite period i'm Uncle Sans

What it wants to do. however, is to
keep the fishery going. and to make
sure that the supply of salmon shall
be maintained. Hence the undertaking
here described. which, as will present.

the commercial problem. Thus, for
example,, now that it has been ascer-
aimed how many salmon u up Wood

A Coming Medical Victory.
From the New York Times.

Even homeopathists complain that the
doctors of the modern school have largely
done away with the use Of drugs. The
case of Senator Luke Lea, of Tennessee,
who donated a quart of his hea!,hy
blood to save the life OF his wife, is in
point. The development of knowledge
that the blood contains specific forces of
immunity. largely stimulated by the re-
searches of Sir A. E. Wright. accounts for
this tendency to do away with the glass.
the spoon. and the potion.
Blood transmission. heightening the pow
ers of resistance, IS an analogue of pre-
ventive medicine. DR.. Grille. of Cleveland,
who developed the alternative method of
saline injections. prefers the splicing of
veins of donors with recipient patients.

Link Between Eccentricity and Madness

FROM the New YORK World.
Where may the line be drawn which
will happily separate eccentricity from
insanity? Eminent a%lienists have spent
many SleepleSs hours over this cues
ton. and it still remains unanswered.
According to Prof. +. w. Mott. i'm a
lecture before the Royal institution.
London, an individual is considered in
SAM whose conduct is anti-social
when, owing to a morbid or deranged
state of his mind, he no longer thinks,
feels or acts in accordance with the
usages and customs of the society in
which he belongs.
1T is hard to draw a line between
eccentricity and insanity on the one
hand. and insanity and crime or the
other" he says. Each is "A manifesto
ton of a mental degeneracy, and they
may exist separately or combined.
Many eccentric persons are insane. but
are tolerated and even, in some motor
combined with their madness is often
Ii streak of genius. Some Of the most
brilliant men in arts, science and liter
allure nave either been insane them
selves (e. g.. S~chunlann, Lamb. Met
sche) or have come from parents who
were insane (Turner, Bacon). or there
was IL taint in the ancestral stocks.
Men like Napoleon and Julius Cae-
sar were said to be epileptic; Mahomet
and Martin Luther had Authorizations.
Yet these men nave been the fOremOS
in making the worlds history. In u
times we have reason to thank a mad
king for the discovery of the musical
genius of Wagner, and for having made
Munich the Mecca Of musicians. 1t is
true. therefore, that great genius and
badness are often close akin. but it is
also true that often the genius which
is thus closely allied to insanity is Of
an inferior order-intense, narrow. hys-
t%erical. explosive. not calm. large, whole
and constructive.
Between veritable madmen who eX-
hibit fitful flashes of genius. madness
streaked with genius, and persons with
real genius who display eccentricities
Of thought. feeling and conduct that
speak Of madness, there are a number
and variety of persons who are clever
but fiighty. talented but unstable. in
tense but narrow, arne but fanatical,
all sorts of persons who, plunging into
new movements good or bad and pur-
suing them with Incorporate. perhaps
distempered. zeal, lack the just balance
of the faculties, the calm equilibrium of
n stable mental organization, the true
perception or mean of nature which is
the highest sanity What comparison
is possible between Chateaubriant and

"ich Diem"

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Inc eldest son of the king of England is
made the prince of Wales. after his father
IS made a regular king. He gets a new
:oat-of-arms too, and the motto on that
:oat-of-arms is "Ich Diem" That is pref
ty fair German for ~ serve" And
wouldn't that be a splendid motto. If the
person who bore it really meant ito What
society wants today. is men who are able
and willing to be OF service. What IL
needs is somebody who can live the motto
of the prince of Wales and live il for
democracy.
One of these days the strongest nation
will not bc the nation whose battleships
have the thickest protective armor. nor
the one with the mightiest armies. The
strongest nation will not be the one which
can count the largest number of colonels.
nor the one with the most square miles,
IT will be the one that looks best after
the happiness and health OF its inhabi-
tants. 1t will be the land that watches
over its mothers and its children az its
most precious possessions: the one that
eckons chastity and temperance as the
,irtucs to be cultivated by it's citizens.
And in that day. and in that country.
there will arise a prince who will he a real
prince because Itch Diem" will be the
motto he will Craze on his shield and
